Hi all, Thanks, Shelley. That's why I created her. However, unlike Maria Chow, she's a Japanese-American. How would PRIMUS and Mariko Namura, out lady silver avenger, react to Immortals, the Stargate and the Slayer (and the Hellmouth) and, if they're in the campaign, the MIB (from the movies) and the goings on in Prefection (from the Tremors movies and tv series)? How does PRIMUS react to her using her own weapons?" Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Just wondering what the DOSPA's reaction would be to Immortals, the Stargate and the Slayer (and the Hellmouth). Also, how would to, if they're included, the MIB (from the movies) and the goings on in Perfection (from the Tremors movies and tv series). The liaison would, I think, mirror the agency opinions. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Forgot to tell you about the local Silver Avenger. She looks like Maria Chow and is Terry Kestler with ninjitsu training and Mayte Sanchez's adrenaline junkie style. She owns and carries some martial arts weapons, including a katana, shuriken and a weighted chain. As always, comment is invited and I thank you, in advance, for them. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Oops, I meant Terry Kestler, not Treey Kestler. That's what I get for typing without thinking. As always, your comments are invited and thanks, in advance, for them. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Yeah, Hermit, I have my hands full, and I'm loving it. Besides my two heroes, Guardian and Sorceress, not to mension Chloe, Sorceress's black cat familiar, I have a Primus liaison, who's based on Shelley's Beth Davies, an intelligence agent, based on the Wild Hunt's Emma Morrow Wilson, and a silver avenger, wjo looks like Maria Chow and is, more or less, Treey Kestler with ninja training and Matye Sanchez's love of extreme sports. As far as the Hellmouth and Stargate go, they are, at least, 15-miles apart. Clear skies, Mark Rand

Hi all, A quick thank you to those who replied to my questions and have given me such good advice. The PRIMUS liaison won't be a former CIA black-bag specialist. However, the intelligence agency liaison will be an expert in that field. Also, there will be a room in the headquarters where the PRIMUS liaison, the intelligence agency liaison and the team's techie, who is also a ninja, keep equipment, each in its own area. Only PRIMUS has access to the area where their agent's equipment is kept. Our world has Immortals, as in "Highlander", the Stargate, as in "Stargate SG-1" and vampires, as in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". With the existance of superheroes, the Society of Watchers has revealed the existance of Immportals and has had some of the chronicles published. When the existance of the Stargate becomes public knowledge, I'm sure PRIMUS, UNTIL, the FBI, the police and the local heroes will offer to help when needed and the DOSPA, United Nations, NASA and the State Department will insist on sending liaison officers. The existance of vampires and the Slayer is known only to a chosen few intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, I've made changes, again. The campaign will be set in Millennium City with my team replacing the original iconic Champions. We're not in the Champions Universe. This one has Immortals (as In "Highlander"), the Stargate (as in "Stargate SG-1") and vampires and Slayers (as in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). The public is aware that Immortals exist. Since the world has superheroes, the Society of Watchers felt that the world was ready to know that Immortals exist and has had some chronicles published. The Stargate's existance isn't public knowledge, yet. When the public finds out about it, I suspect that PRIMUS, UNTIL, the police, the FBI and local heroes will offer their aid in protecting it and DOSPA, the United Nations, NASA and the State Department will insist on sending liaisons there. The existance of vampires and the Slayer is known to only a few intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, I have two PRIMUS questions to pose. First question, if an agent has martial arts training, does he have to take the PRIMUS martial arts training, too? Second question, would a former CIA black-bag job expert be accepted into PRIMUS, possibly as an intelligence agent, assuming he met all other requirements? Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Sorry to take so long to reply. Good idea, Hermit. The Golden Age Shadowcat just became his maternal grandmother and his wife's still a nurse. In other news, the intelligence agency sent only one liaison. She's the black-bag ops specialist. The FBI and PRIMUS have sent regular agents. Why do they do this? Simple. It's politics, and the fact that the agency bigwigs don't trust each other. Also, Batman's techie/ninja engineer was the only staff until the liaisons came. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, A belated thank you to Hermit for posting to this thread. I'm giving serious thought to droping DOSPA from my universe and letting PRIMUS assign a liaison. There may be other changes, too. However, I'm still not sure. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Here's more stuff that I forgot to mension. The game isn't in the Champions Universe. Jonathan Hayes is the President and the general public knows of no ETs on Earth. As far as Batman goes, we're using the Batman animated timeline. While the heroes can't enter Lady Arcane's house, the support staff, liaison(s) and the Slayer and her team can. Since we're not in the Champions Universe, there can be more than one liaison. The DOSPA liaison is an agency case officer and his wife is a nurse who served as a nurse working with an emergency helicopter team. An intelligence agency has sent as a liaison team a married couple. He's a regular agent. She's an expert at black bag jobs. The FBI and PRIMUS have liaisons, too, but I havn't come up with them, let. I'll let you know when I do and I hope to here from some of you, soon. Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, Forgot to let you know that it'll be a Dark Champions campaign set in Gotham City, New Jersey, yes, Batman's a main charactor, and that the liaison lives in the Batcave with Batman's support staff. Lady Arcane, a mage Batman knows, set up a gateway that connects the Batcave to Eagle Air Force Base (where the Batcopter and Batjet are), the Gotham Navy Yard on Tricorner Island (where the Batboat is), Lady Arcane's house itself, which isn't accessable to the heroes, and a building in a world where all life died out in 1969. They use the building for additional living space. Opps, before I forget, the staff is a mother and daughter team. The mother is a highly-skilled nurse and the daughter is a techie ninja who prefers to design, build and repair equipment instead of hunting crooks. Also, Batman lets an NPC team, the Slayer and her associates use the Batcave. That's right, folks. The Hellmouth is near Gotham City. Why else would its crime rate be so high? Yours, Mark Rand

Hi all, I'm creating my superhero team's DOSPA liaison and I'd like to know what skills he or she should have and what his or her background should be. All advice is welcome. Yours, Mark Rand
