First, let me apologize in advance for this wall of text which will have a high likelihood of striking for a critical hit.
Ok, so this all started with a post by Unknown_Badge over in the recruitment forums. The gist was that he was trying to form a static team with the following basic parameters:

The team model will be based on Bronze Age Avengers or Satellite Era Justice League where each member is a successful solo hero on his own rights but teams with the rest of the group to face those challenges he cant defeat alone. In game, we call those events Task Forces.

Ultimately, the day/time that UB went with didnt work for me. So I gauged interested in a second group to run on another night (FYI, as far as I know UB is still trying to put together a Friday team). That turned into a thread that got some relatively decent interest.
We finally decided to roll new toons for a static team that would run every Tuesday from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m.(East Coast Time) on Virtue. Our first run is August 5, and will consist of meeting at the sewers in Atlas and using that to get us each to level 6-ish. Well then head to King's Row to do bank mishes to get at least one of (if not both) of the temp travel powers. After that well begin the Posi TF, assuming weve hit an appropriate level. The Posi TF will probably require "parking" our toons in the TF over the course of a session or two due to its length. The intent is to be pretty firm with the 9:30 stop time each week.
From there I would envision us just plowing through the rest of the TF's more or less in order, although it will be put up to a vote each week.
Here is the story so far with a little RP thrown in for fun:

Just after assisting the police isolate a mysterious outbreak, several of Paragon's newest heroes set out to individually investigate rumors of mysterious happenings in the sewers beneath Atlas park. They each decided that the events that brought them together were more than mere coincidence. With that they banded together to form:
The Avengers of Justice!!! A group that faces threats beyond the abilities of any hero standing alone. ROLL CALL:
1) Liberty-Flame (Fire/WP science scrapper): Elizabeth Moore was military scientist working on the S.O.L.A.R. (Soldier Optimization and Longevity Amplification Research) project. Double agent sabotage caused her to be exposed to her own experiments, which were theoretically not ready for human testing. This exposure increased her physical prowess and gave her limited ability to manipulate nuclear energy;
2) Lightson (FF/Eng magic defender): A prideful and self-centered law student, Bryson Walker was in an automobile accident that nearly cost him his life. While unconscious, he had a vision in which an angel-like being promised him great power if he would begin serving the light instead of darkness. He accepted, and was granted the ability to manipulate a mysterious light/energy force;
3) Solar Tech (fire/eng tech blaster): A scientist who specializes in the military applications of solar technology! After much skeptism and many declined research grants he has decided to field test/demo some of his work on the mean streets of Paragon City!;
4) The Directrix (mind/sonic natural controller): negotiator extraordinaire employed by the PPD, and unofficial police liaison for the fledgling group. Many an arrest is made without resistance thanks to her uncanny ability to make criminals see the error of their ways before the fight even begins;
5) Blind Justyce (TA/Arch tech Def): Full origin pending. Basic gist, blind person using tech to enhance marksmanship;
6) Currently unnamed, unorigined character played by DocMidknight (Dark/dark mutant tank);
7) ?
8) ?

So, heres where I (finally) get to the point. I have received several PMs with interest in the final two spots. Please post in this thread if you are interested in filling our last two spots. First come, first serve. Ive had too many contact me with interest at about the same time for me to hand out the last two spots any other way. The first two to add their name/description to the above ROLL CALL are in.
BEFORE SIGNING UP PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE GROUND RULES:
* No more than two of any particular AT, which means we are full on defenders but everything else is fair game
*Classic Avengers/JLA type heroeswe dont want to get too much darker or edgierthan say, Batman or Wolverine. It can be the really paranoid, Ive got to know my own teammates weakness Batman though. Wolverine, meh, Ive got nothing.
* No worries if you are not a RPer (Im not really, just enjoy writing this up), the primary goal is to have a static team to experience content with. RPing is optional and secondary (but knock yourself out if you want to). This team was born because many of us might not experience TFs unless we do them this way.
*Well meet weekly from 7:00 to 9:30 (East Coast Time) on Tuesdays. With 8 itll be okay if you need to miss from time to time, but dont sign up if you know youll be consistent iffy. Once again, the stop time will be pretty firm so theres a good chance this toon could get locked up in a TF for a week. Finally, Ill note we may switch to every other week depending on whether people get burnt out or not.
Please use this thread to fill the last two spots. From there well update this thread from time to time to brag of our exploits and maybe have a little RP fun.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and please join us
JUSTICE IS SERVED!!
