    Knights of New L.A. PBEM Players Needed

    Many of you may have read the original thread about this campaign in the Champion section. Here is the official call for players

    Campaign History
    (Notation this campaign world will feature heroes from both Marvel & D.C.)

    January, 1991 after a couple of weeks of conflict in Desert Storm, Sadam Hussein launches nuclear armed war heads at key cities around the world. Hearing about the impending strike several of the world's heroes enter voulentary suspended animation at various locations throughout the world, hopin to help rebuild once awakened. The United States and Russia retaliate with nuclear strike of their own, What follows is the greatest destruction in the history of the world. Moscow, London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Washington D.C., Gotham City, Mexico City, Toronto, Quebec, and Ontario are all struck. Two missles strike Orlando and Cape Canveral, Florida at the same time the unique blast sinks half of the state. Iraq is completely obliterated by the conterstrikes. What happens next would change the free world forever. The remnants of the U.S. military seize control of the government and begin building weapons. Striking quickly before they could muster any strength, the U.S. Military invades Canada and after three years have complete control of that country. After a mere three more years the U.S. military are in control of a land mass spanning from the northern most reaches of Canada all the way down to Panama. The new regime names its territory, The united North American Provinces and over the next 350 years, while rebuilding the destruction, tighten their grip on the citizens, and in their arrogance, thining that they were acting as the great hero would, build a statue of Captain America to replace the destroyed Statue of Liberty. The police of this new society are all cyborgs and very few are actually voulenteers. Killing an officer is an automatic death sentence and merely striking one will get you locked up and tortured. All attempts to overthrow the government have been completely quashed.

    The characters will be the first in a new line of heroes who now oppose the government and are attempting to restore democracy to the country. Also as the game progresses severla of the sleeping heroes of the past will awaken and find the world they knew gone. Not only will they be fighting against the government they will also have to deal with normal and super criminals.

    Charcter Info
    Points 250 + 150 Disadvantages
    Maximum Active Points 90
    Everyman skill are same as modern + TF: Personal hovercraft..and your Area Knowledge will be New L.A.
    Character should not have a Public Identity
    All Character must take the following
    3 Language skill: Gutterspeak
    20 Disadvantage: Hunted by Enofrcers 8-, More Powerful, Extensive NCI, Harshley Punish

    Submissions should be in text format only, as the only way I have to look at tehm is the word pad program on my computer. I am also looking for one character to be a rogue Enforcer. This character would originally be a new experimental cyborg, possibly the 1st attempt to make a mutant into a cyborg.

    Send submissions to jcmcminis@yahoo.com or PM them to me

    Re: Knights of New L.A. PBEM Players Needed

    I have recieved my first submission today and he posed a question about Codes vs Killing I feel I should touch on here. You are not required to take any form of limitation involving killing. If you are caught by the Enforcers you will be killed, bottom line. I have no problems with the PC's killing Enforcers or criminals, just not citizens. I do not however want PC"S who think collateral damage is okay, I want them to be upset if an innocent bystander gets hurt or killed.

    Background/History: Mitch's parents were killed when they were hit by a criminal in a hovercraft fleeing the Enforcers. Mitch was nine. His aunt Linda, to whom he was sent to live, viewed Mitch as another mouth to feed. He began to spend more time away from "home". At thirteen his powers began to manifest and Mitch turned to crime. He learned to survive on his own and as his powers grew, so did his confidence. By the Age of twenty he had amassed a substantial amount of money that he could live on for the rest of his life. He turned away from crime. It wasn't neccessary anymore. When aunt Linda died, Mitch was left a trunk that held his fathers belongings. Among them were magazines that held stories about fantastic heroes from another time. They had incredible powers. Like his. They used them to help people. Mitch remembered his father extolling these kinds of virtues. He is considering the possibility of becoming a modern day superhero.
    Personality/Motivation:
    Mitch is a conflicted young man. His cocky nature and thrill seeking spirit are at odds with his fear of imprisonment. He dreams of donning a costume and becoming a modern hero, but is conflicted. He is a bit bored at the moment, having put his criminal career behind him. He spends a good deal of his time in the company of young women. Women feel at ease around him. He seems to understand them. It's almost like he knows what they are thinkning...
    Quote: "It's all in your head."
    Powers/Tactics:
    To date, Mitch has mastered one tactic. Hit and Run. Get in, get it, get out.
    He has avoided conflict to avoid wasting time. Time means getting away before the Enforcers show up. Time means not doing time. He has no experience with group tactics.
    Campaign Use:
    Head Strong is an excellent recon/infiltration asset. His stock in trade is information. He's young, sharp, and knows he's good.
    Appearance:
    Tall young man with a lean, athletic, build. Good looking kid with black hair, a goatee, and blue eyes. His costume is armored and is blue and black, with dark blue gloves and boots.
    I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it--Shakespeare
