Members of the HeroWatch

[Shadow7]

Here's an idea perhaps that's been done before in some people's campaigns.  An alliance of heroes is formed in order for their city to be protected.  It's not a formal team but rather an unofficial pledge by the heroes to create the HeroWatch.  Heroes come, heroes go depending on their availability, sometimes depending upon the need.  Players play street level heroes when needed for the adventure, more four colored heroes when the adventure requires that.  However, the campaign continues focusing on the city and the heroes that participate in the HeroWatch.  I'm sure this is not a new idea but one that I recently thought of with people coming and people going in the RPG group as well, and how some adventures are better suited for different types of characters.  For this forum, just for fun if we were to come up with a city that needed to be defended, who would be some of the heroes that would join the HeroWatch?  For this forum please offer your character idea.  The character doesn't have to be fully crafted into any type of RPG system, but more rather just sharing a character concept.  Let's see what kind of interesting characters we can come up with together.  Thanks for participating!

Sovereign City is a city of heroes.  It's a city that rivals the large cities like Los Angeles or New York, being very advanced and overcrowded.  It is near the ocean.  It's defended by heroes of all kinds, who are welcomed by the authorities as long as they maintain some respect of the law. 

 

Stuart Caito is the D.A. of Sovereign City.  He is following in his father's footsteps but has become frustrated with the faults in the justice system.  Deciding he has had enough of it, he soon crafts a crime-fighter identity in order to combat against the rise of crime and evil in the city.  Drawing from his legal background, he cloaks himself in long flowing gowns, wearing a mask to cover his face.  He becomes the Judicator.  He is careful to operate in the law as much as possible, so that the bad guys he arrests don't get out of jail because of legal loop holes.  He is armed with a gun that is filled with rubber bullets (a Mercy gun) and equipped with gadgets which he calls his tools of justice.  He has a superior knowledge of the law, and he is trained to handle himself in a fight.  He is fearless,  and determined in his quest, but he knows he can't do it alone.   He calls on others to join him in the HeroWatch, who will answer his call?

This is a character I thought of for a npc at a convention game.  (I may yet run this at a con.)  The idea is, the world is pretty messed up and this hero is the world's last hero and has the power to summon other superheroes.  While running from the big bad organization and trying to protect innocents, this hero (with a name something like Clarion) summons the heroes and then while the heroes are stunned, jumps forward to delay the villains before the innocents are hurt.  Now, the superheroes are somewhere they don't know nor how to get back but the obvious villains have captured Clarion, their only one who can possibly send them back home.

 

Clarion - One of the last heroes on Earth X (or Earth 3 or any Earth where evil is winning)

Powers - Dimensional Powers: Summons, Travel, Blasts, Teleportation

Sounds like a great idea.  Players could bring their own characters--subject to your approval, of course.

Daughter of two young but odd martial artist, Umasora (litterly Horse and Sky) wonders the Earth to protect the innocent and to improve the art. Her style, called Anything Goes Martial Arts, is infamous for being varied and adaptable for various situations.

 

She doesn't wear a costume, wear a mask, nor hide behind a false name. Her full name is Saotome Umasora, daughter of the Wild Horse and Hammer Girl of Nermia, Tokyo, Japan. What she doing here depends on if Ranma 1/2 happened upon the Earth she is on or not...
