Hello everyone, I just wanted to announce my new game and let everyone see how things worked my first session. I am going to eventually start a website for this game, and am going to try and document each session.
First off, regardless of the title of this thread, we haven't established a name yet. The game is set up group oriented, so we established a theme for the group. I'll start telling you the history, but since my players read here also, I will only be telling as much as they know as well.
In the 1960's Viper came into existence. Shortly after that a new hero came onto the scene in Detroit named the Ghost. The Ghost was an occult based detective, who used a combination of martial arts, mystic equipment and a small repetiore of magic spells to combat crime, particularly occult based crime. Within a year of his first appearance though, a change began to occur, as Viper rose in power, he became more and more concerned with tem, and soon Viper was his number one enemy. He still had others, but he tried hardest fighting Viper. He began rising to the top of Viper's most wanted list as well, and thruought the 70's he and Viper were arch-enemies. This went on for several decades, until in the early to mid-nineties, the Ghost fell off the Superhero map. He seemed to disappear without a trace. A lot of people thought Viper had finally got him. Though Viper knew otherwise. He was still high on their most wanted list, though even they weren't sure what happened to him.
By the year 2002, Viper had all but stopped looking for the Ghost. He was still on their most wanted list, but since he hadn't been seen in a decade or so, they assumed he was gone. In reality, as age set in the Ghost became even more obsessed with taking down Viper, and on his last mission he recieved an injury which never quite healed, even with his magical resources. This is when he decided, that he had been fighting like a soldier during his entire war with Viper, and what a war really needed to be won, was a general. He went into hiding and started working more in secret, building resources, to relaunch his war with Viper. He managed to get informants inside of Viper, and even managed to get a worm into their computer system. This worm, has yet to be discovered, and filters a very small amount of Viper's money to a swiss bank account he had set up. This way he would use Viper's own money to fund a war against them.
The Ghost had also managed to get together a list of potential recruits for a team set up mostly from within Viper. Viper's extensive list of Villains included some that wanted out, but didn't know how to get out. This included; Strike, a spanish fencer, who was also a technical genius and used several hi-tech gadgets. And the Imp who was a demon who had taken over a young mans body, and could teleport in, kill people and be gone, so he was a top rate assassin for Viper. Another was a girl Viper had created during some of their genetic research studies in the early 80's. She was used as an interrigator for Viper, as she was a touch telepath. Viper kept her under lock and key, she wasn't a normal villain for them, but was more a prisoner, who had never seen the light of day. They called her, Mentalina. The Ghost, also had a few allies, one of which harted Viper nearly as much as he did. This was a mystical Aikido master, named Ki Warrior. He can use his Ki energy to supplement his normal prowess in may unusual ways, including putting on a burst of speed which allows him to run over 150 km/hr, and to throw, and sometimes lift around 100 tons. The Ghost managed to plan an exodus out of Viper one nights, where, Ki Warrior attacked a Viper base, with a few assistants, to cause a distraction, and Strike and Imp escaped rescuing Mentalina. a few others escaped with them, including some Viper agents, who also wanted to turn over a new leaf. Some of these villains and some of the agents died in the break out, and some of them, after freeing themselves, just wanted to be free of Viper, so they went off on their own. A few remained though to help build the Ghost's army. These were Strike, who eventually created a powered suit for himself and took on the name Hi-Tek, Sebation, who has now reasserted most control of his body from Imp, and Mentalina, who has never known any life outside of Viper, she also changed her name and is going by Esperz. Together with Ki Warrior, and under the guide of the Ghost, they have now foguth Viper for over a year.
The team lives in a mansion outside of Millenium City, that appears like a normal mansion, but the basement is more set up like a base. The mansion is run by the Ghosts longtime friend and butler, Mr. Reginald, and the rest of the staff, is primarily made up of ex-Viper Agents. This allows the Chauffeur to also fly the VTOL. FRED (Fully Realized Electronic Database) is the bases artificial intelligence.
