NOTE: This is a Justice SG, but we would love to get Pinnacle RPers and given the lefty nature of the SG may look at a CCCP alliance in the future if Americas Unidas is successful.

A politically progressive pan-American movement has been growning in the countries of Latin America. It is in part a reaction to their exploitation and subjegation by U.S. corporate interests. But even more, it is an expression of hope and devotion to idea that the hard work and resources of the region be dedicated to the benefit of all its people.

Led by the democratically elected Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and the old line communist Fidel Castro of Cuba, the movement has grown from an exchange of resources within Latin America to the formation of the first pan-American super group called, Americas Unidas (Americas United). Super powered representatives from every nation of Latin America have clamoured to join. The group, which has been instrumental in disaster relief across South and Central America, has now offered to extend a helping hand to Paragon City, and its overwhelming battle to contain the paranormal forces unleashed during the Rikti invasion.

The sudden and mysterious appearance of Cuban superhero El Cometa in Paragon City has provided Americas Unidas the representative it was seeking to provide leadership for its efforts there. Having demonstrated both his courage and and kindness in helping the citizens of Paragon City against a host paranormal entities, El Cometa was asked to serve as Commandante of the Americas Unidas Paragon City chapter. El Cometa has graciously accepted, and invites all like minded paranormals to join the cause. Americas Unidas is dedicated to promoting harmony between the citizens of the United States and the nations of Latin America, and in helping provide a measure of protection to the citizens of Paragon City against the paranormal threats they face every day.

SG Rank Names (English translation in brackets)
Leader = Commandante (Commander)
Captain = Teniente (Lieutenant)
Member = Guerrero (Warrior)

Colors
White: Symbolizing truth, freedom, happiness, peace
Red: Symbolizing blood, passion, sacrifice, responsibility
Symbol: Shooting star

You do not have to be Latin American or politically left-wing to join Americas Unidas, however, you do have to be prepared role-play a politically progressive Latin American themed character to join. Americas Unidas is not a staunchly communist super group like CCCP on Pinnacle. You can play a Latin American super hero that is everything from a hard-core communist and anti-capitalist, to a new left socialist who is more a passionate grassroots nationalist than revolutionary guerilla. The focus of the group is on strongly representing the interests of Latin America, as well as working tirelessly to help the downtrodden in Paragon City, especially in the poverty stricken sections of the city.

Ideally, character origins should have a distinctly Latin American flavor. This can include the use of Latin American indigenous cultures, such as the Inca and the Maya. You might also want to draw from Cuban Santaria. On the other hand you may want to draw on the revolutionary movements from the Latin American left-wing past. Cuba in particular has a rich history of resistance. Character names should generally be in Spanish, or Portugese. You can go to Altavista's Babelfish to translate an English name into either of those two languages.

If you want to join with a new character, and you have an idea of the kind of Archetype you want to play, but you aren't sure what his/her origin would be, we would be willing to help you figure out a name and background.

If you already have an existing Latin American themed character in CoH and would like to join, by all means we'd love to hear from you.

CoH Global Chat Handle: @El Cometa
CoH Forum Name: El_Cometa
Hero Name: El Cometa
Archetype: Tank
Origin: Mutant
Primary Power: Invulnerability
Secondary Power: Super Strength
Security Level: 20

Description: Born from the explosion of a Cuban airliner "mistakenly" shot down by an American defense satellite, El Cometa (the Comet) has no recollection of his past. The mutation he suffered that enabled him to survive the explosion appears to also have wiped his memory. (Note: The mystery of El Cometa's origin will be gradually revealed over the course of role-play in CoH)

I look forward to hearing from everyone!

NOTE: This is a Justice SG at the moment, but I would love to get some Virtue RPers, if anyone is interested.
