I'm not entirely sure yet. I was going to do the random generation of the character and go from there, for the most part. Though he will be unfamiliar with City, that's for sure. :lol:

Okay my search fu is weak tonight. Where is there a list of the missing Guardians. I have the proposed character sheet ready but need a new codename. I was thinking maybe an homage to a missing Guardian would be appropriate.

Hmmm.. but then... there is this as well?!?

THE GUARDIANS

The Guardians are considered one of the world's, if not its, primer super-team. They've been in existence for over four decades, and its rosters list many of the world's greatest heroes as current or former team members. Many young heroes aspire to one day see their name listed on the team's rolls.

During the course of its existence the team has handled everything from would be world conquerors, to rampaging monsters, to alien invasions, and garnered the world's gratitude in the process.

The 80's, 90's, and early 2000's saw various incarnations of the Guardians come and go, with the team settling into its current incarnation in early 2009. It's current full time roster consists of:

Bright Star - A light welding Native American female. A former fashion model, she's known for her hot temper, liberal views, and for frequently butting heads with Iron Eagle. She's the teen heroine, Day Star's older sister.

Eden - An Asian female (Chinese to be specific) with various nature based powers (animal/plant control, cosmic awareness/danger sense).

Iron Eagle - Quinton Avery, the hero known to the world as Iron Eagle, is An African American male with an suit of avian themed hi-tech armor (Think of him as a cross between Hank Pym, Iron Man, and Hawkman). He's secret ID he's the President and CEO of Avery Aerospace Engineering, one of the largest defense contractors in the US, and one of the money men who secretly funds the Guardians.

Ivanhoe - A former olympic athlete, and expert bowman, who welds an enchanted bow, and arrows capapble of hitting anything he can see, no matter what range the target is.

Minerva - A genetically engineered female warrior-woman from an alternate Earth, currently engaged in a war with the Vreen, a war-like race of xenopobic aliens.

The Raven - The criminal underworl's worst nightmare. Highly trained in a number of martial arts, and using a small arsenal of gadgets, he wages a war to rid the streets of crime and get justice for the common man. He's had a number of teen side-kicks/partners, over the years, several of whom, have gone on to solo careers of their own.

Reserve Members & Allies

Archer Gold - The retired hero, and long time ally of the Guardians. Using his influence and government contacts, he was instramental in the establishment of BSI and the Guardians gaining official government sanction.

Light Foot - A Native American super-speedster, and long-time reserve member of the Guardians.

Micro-Man - A size changing part-time hero, and full time adventurer. Former full-time, member of the Guardians. Now on reserve status.

The Citadel of Justice

In the early 80's the Guardians established a permanent HQ complex, the Citadel of Justice, or as it's more commonly referred to, The Citadel, on a small artificially created island, known as Citadel Isle, in Empire Bay. Since that time, they've continued to to make a number of improvements to the facility, including an aircraft hanger, runway, and if rumors are to be believed, a cold fusion reactor, and an A.I. computer system that keeps everything running smoothly. Some reports have stated that even the DOD is jealous of the island's defense systems. 

The Hammerhead

The Hammerhead is the team's submersible craft used for underwater transport. It's still docked at a pier on Citidel Isle.

The Thunderhawk

The Team's hypersonic transport aircraft. Designed and built by Avery Aerospace, the aircraft is stored in a hanger on Citadel Isle. It hasn't been seen since the team disappeared.

... I'm not really sure which is the 'official' roster as they are both listings Dsummer has provided.

{Shrug..} No problem.. Virgos 'Live' for keeping details..

So Dsummer... did our characters advance any from the "Alien Encounter in Jonesville"?

Experience points, Charisma awards for heroic actions... can we make any invention rolls?  Did we defeat the aliens, find out what they were even doing here..capture any alien tech to examine?

Come on.. throw us a bone... something! 

I depowered my character during the time the campaign was on hiatus. Wrote a bunch of FanFiction with him and Hawk's character and now that Dom is starting to gear up again we are rebooting him with some more pre-campaign fiction. Avatar was an founding player in the campaign and has decided to go totally with a new character. Other players are looking to continue and tweak there original characters from the campaign.

I'd suggest putting a character together and present it for submission to Dom. Anything needs tweaked he will let you know. If you need any help I or other players like Majestic will be more than happy to assist of you feel the need. Best of luck

Once you do, shoot me a PM with the character sheet attached to it. I'm working up the other guys sheets now, and will get to yours as well.

Dom I know real life comes first was just wondering how the characters are coming along

Hey Kinseth! I knew I could talk one of you into it. :p

If you look elsewhere on this site, you'll notice he has some houserules in place to change some of the powers.

I'm just getting on myself... life throwing curveballs.  I didn't realize it had been a couple of weeks since I've checked in.

Still here, hope everyone is having a great summer!

I have a couple of questions for the group.

1. Which writer, and/or artist would you want doing the comic book about your character?

2. With the popularity of superheroes on t.v. and in movies, who would you envision playing your character, or any of the n.p.c' s in the Empire City campaign.

I Nice questions ... especially given my character's background and soon to be re-empowerment.

1) Micheal Turner is gone ... so Brett Booth is my favorite modern artist for four-color characters.

2) Chris Evans ... nuff' said

I don't have a cast idea yet either.

I'm running a little behind (well, a lot behind actually), as they hit me with a bunch of additional duties at work, and I got contracted to do a bunch of gaming material (you'll start seeing it pop up over the next few months). I've got everyone's stuff sitting in a file and, I will get to it. Sorry for the delay. 

He is actually younger than Skyhawk, but I guess I would go with BooBoo Stewart for Skyhawk, Danielle Campbell as Karen, and Scott Glenn/Armie Hammer as Uncle Jack/unknown man.

From the Empire City Sourcebook - {p. 14}

C.O.R.E. {The Center for Observation, Research, and Exploration}

C.O.R.E. is an offshoot of NASA, primarily funded by the US Department of Defense, that is primarily concerned with the search for extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional life, as well as developing technologies that would allow us to make contact with them.

I see your post in Rampage, Avatar... I will reply to it.. I'm just giving the other players a chance to post something.

Sorry for the delays.. but I'm having trouble figuring out how much movement it takes to manipulate magnetically controlled objects that you've already locked onto.  TB's currently manipulating a lot of stuff.. I want to be reasonable; so I'm doing a little research in the rules on how much one could reasonably do at once.
