  1. War and chaos is all about numbers and as such the NWA is opposite to exclusive. Imagine that one member is recruited every hour. Enerfist being an Illuminati like Pistol and Mechano would certainly get a VIP seat.

    Unwelcome return

    Meeting of the New World Alliance

    Derelict Office, Port Oakes. Ubermensch Kahn, Quildo and Rumour watch on as Doctor Edward Mechano greets his new friends Wintertron, Blood Ghoul, God Killer, countess Leeches, Marie Laveau, Pistol, Beyond Reach, Ambivalent Ecstasy, Tomb, Rapturous, Kallandra Mortaana and Spruk to discuss his plan for a global alliance of villains, equally motivated to achieve destructive ends.

    Quildo: *sips from her mug*

    Spruk: ...Hmph

    Kallandra Mortaana: *grins at Spruk* Much better...

    Beyond Reach: Oh dear...it appears our location prohibits me from hovering...'tis been a long time since my feet have last touched the earth.

    DR Mechano: alright...I assume you all know why you are here...you are among the dedicated few that have answered my broadcast, first off I welcome you the first meeting of a New World Order

    Pistol: *grins with glee.*

    Marie Laveau: ha.. that is for us to descide

    DR Mechano: now...first things first...perhaps introductions are in order, you all should know be...Doctor Mechano

    Marie Laveau: We watch tv too

    DR Mechano: *smirks, "if you disagree with anything that goes on here you are welcome to leave.."*

    Countess Leeches: Formally a hero if I remember correctly.

    Pistol: *thinks the black girl talks too much*

    Marie Laveau: not really.. cotinue

    Tomb: *half whispered to Rapt* "Things could get ugly"

    Rapturous: *grins*

    DR Mechano: yes..once a hero indeed...but my true calling has always been villainy...I don't mean shadow games like...someone...plays...I mean chaos, well sometimes organised chaos but chaos none the less

    Beyond Reach: I am surprised this hovel can hold all our egos...

    Rumour: *adjusts her shades*

    DR Mechano: *chuckles* Anyway...to further the goals of chaos in both the Rogue Isles and Paragon I have called together this meeting, think of this as a villain support network if you will

    DR Mechano: any questions?

    Pistol: What do we do first, doctor Mechano?

    Spruk: *looks around*

    Beyond Reach: Why are we aiming towards chaos? I think I mentioned this in our corrospondence prior to this meeting.

    Pistol: Have you any more little green men of chaos? Or did the Priest smash them all?

    Marie Laveau: Damballa take the decorator of zis room... a few good chairs..

    Kallandra Mortaana: Villain support... sounds suspiciously like narcotics anonymous... or something

    DR Mechano: well not merely just chaos...and I am not here to tell you what to do...just that each of us can normally provide something the others require

    Beyond Reach: Of course, I am definitely for this venture then.

    Pistol: Me three.

    DR Mechano: The Corporation is there for hired muscle work, amongst other things, I can provide unparrelled technology, Godmother Pistol can provide narcotics...we each bring out own speciality to the table, each allowing the others of this group to spread villiany

    Countess Leeches: interesting yes, but i forsee problems yes.

    Quildo: *has another sip from her mug*

    DR Mechano: as long as everyone can keep their ego in check then there shouldn't BE any problems..

    Marie Laveau: What has the rest to offer?

    DR Mechano: this is where introductions come in..please state your name and what you offer...

    Wintertron: *checks his fingernails... only to realise his gauntlets kind of make that hard to do. Whoopsie*

    DR Mechano: hmm...you

    Pistol: Good question. Why don't we each take turns to introduce ourselves and mention what skills or resources we have to offer.

    Wintertron: Huh? Who, me?

    DR Mechano: yes you

    Quildo: *smiles politely at Mechano.* "You neglect to remember that we are here merely to listen, we have yet to agree to anything."

    DR Mechano: we'll start with you, then work our way around...

    DR Mechano: this is true..but I'm sure I could broker a deal with William for some kind of support for financial gain

    Pistol: Well then just say that. "I am blah blah blah and I have not yet agreed"

    Quildo: *smiles politely and sips her coffee*

    DR Mechano: *looks at winter* "well come on..."

    Wintertron: Okay... that name's Wintertron, but feel free to call me Winter, Snowy, "Oh [censored] he's freezing my b-"... uh, yeah, anyway...

    DR Mechano: and what do you bring to this alliance of evil...

    Blood Ghoul: I am named as Blood Ghoul , in your english...as to talents , majicks , oracles, and a willingness to do anything ...

    DR Mechano: it wasn't your turn but good...we have someone of the more mystical arts...

    Pistol: *nods respectively to Blood Ghoul

    DR Mechano: it is a pleasure to have you on board

    Wintertron: Well, I can always help hurt people, got a few bits of random technocrap I don't need and... that's it. Unless anyone needs an icepack or something. You know. For headaches and all that?

    DR Mechano: ah we have some frozen muscle...always useful

    Countess Leeches: *mutters something*

    Blood Ghoul: the pleasure is mine Accurssed One ..

    DR Mechano: right...you, in the hood

    God Killer: The ones who fear me have named me God Killer. So you can call me the same. As for bringing anything to you lot....I'll kill. Put whatever, or whoever you want in front of me....

    DR Mechano: more muscle interesting

    DR Mechano: Myself, well I do not need an introduction but just incase I am Doctor Mechano, owner of Necrotech Industries, Cybernetics or genetic tampering are something I can provide

    DR Mechano: I beleive it is your turn, representatives of the Corporation...

    Quildo: *nods and smiles politely* "I'm Quildo. With me are Ms Rumour and Mr Kahn."

    DR Mechano: and you, I believe, I've met before pale one...

    DR Mechano: *gestures to Leeches*

    Countess Leeches: well I am lady sometimes countess leeches, I offer interrogation, cannon fodder troops and strange and some say twisted science and inventions.

    DR Mechano: ah wonderful

    DR Mechano: *grins*

    DR Mechano: now, the gentleman in the brown and white

    Marie Laveau: So...

    DR Mechano: yes Ms?

    Marie Laveau: yet to be impressed.. go on

    Beyond Reach: I am Beyond Reach, also called Untouchable. I am a member of Blackhail and thus I can offer the services of a powerful daemon named Nadeth, and the potential of more gifts from the Dark God Blackhail...depending on how much you are willing to sacrifice.

    Beyond Reach: And it's green...

    DR Mechano: looks brown from here..

    DR Mechano: but then I do have the trouble of a simple elderly man with my eyesight...

    DR Mechano: I will introduce Spruk myself, to say he isn't one of the meanest, craziest people this side of the planet would be a lie, Spruk is certainly a go to man for all chaotic and downright deadly needs

    Rumour: *tugs something from her jacket pocket and puts it into her mouth, chewing in silence*

    Spruk: I also deal in chemicals and munitions.. If you need a specialist toxin, poison or cure then ask and I'll see what I can do.

    DR Mechano: he's a handy man to know..

    Beyond Reach: My friend Ambivalence behind you Doctor still has not introduced himself.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: I can bring all the resources of Blackhail, a legion of devoted followers and connections within this world and others.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: If nothing else I can provide expendable manpower in order to stem the accursed tide of heroism that is plaguing villains everywhere.

    DR Mechano: ah good, we can always do with more like yourself

    DR Mechano: GodMother Pistol, though you should require no introduction...I must ask for one

    Pistol: Yes.

    Pistol: I am Alicia Barzini, daughter of a high ranking member of the the Family, part of the Port Oakes Government.

    Ubermensch Kahn: *flexes his shoulder, pulls off a glove and stretches his hand, taking more note of that than the room - puts the glove back on and stares back ahead.....impassive*

    Pistol: I can influence politics on the Isle and offer weapons and chemical subtances.

    Pistol: Move on now, stop looking.

    Wintertron: *coughs*

    DR Mechano: *chuckles* it's that dress you're wearing...

    Quildo: *checks her wrist watch*

    Pistol: Shut your face Mechano

    DR Mechano: *smiles* and the lady next to you?

    Rumour: *turns her head to look over at Pistol, still chewing. She looks for a few seconds, then looks back to Mechano*

    Marie Laveau: Ze name is Marie Laveau... some may have heard ze name in urban legend. Or modern songs even. But I am real. Over 200 years ago I was ze Houngan of New Orleans... their Witch Queen. I found the secret of
    immortality...

    Blood Ghoul: *giggles

    DR Mechano: ah...another occult person...good..we always need more mystical firepower...now the two children...next to you?

    Marie Laveau: With ze Loa on my side I can bring back the dead under my command. I also am a master in all kind of potions... magic or science.

    Tomb: The name is Tomb... as for what I have to offer, the store has a somewhat widespread system of smuggling and gangland allies, the bloods, the outcasts and so on, we also offer a collection of combat specced chemical
    enhancments, what this means for the

    Marie Laveau: never enough magic

    DR Mechano: grins, "ah...a versaitle woman..I do like that.."

    Tomb: alliance... is that the Store can arrange for the police... and other more ruthless law enforcement forces to be busy when you have an operation planned.

    Tomb: *checks her mask when finished*

    DR Mechano: *chuckles* ah wonderful, a one stop shop for villainy

    DR Mechano: and your little friend?

    DR Mechano: or is she with you in this store?

    Rapturous: *grins* I'm Rapt! I have a hammer! Tomby said i should come!"

    Marie Laveau: I like youre name though.. Tomb

    DR Mechano: ah charming

    Spruk: *laughs*

    Rapturous: *grins round the room at everybody

    Beyond Reach: Indeed...wonderful.

    Countess Leeches: *mutters again*

    DR Mechano: and lastly the red headed beauty infront of me

    Kallandra Mortaana: I am Kallandra... Let's just say that I really enjoy hurting people, mentally or physically.. it's as simple as that, i just want to have some.. fun.

    Quildo: *shakes the mug ever so slightly and then has another sip from it*

    Blood Ghoul: *returns the grin , with added teeth

    DR Mechano: ah a torture expert...always good

    Spruk: *grins a little wider*

    Rumour: *blows a short-lived bubble which bursts with a quiet pop*

    DR Mechano: right that's the introductions dealt with...now...to plans!

    Beyond Reach: And what can you offer?

    Marie Laveau: yes.. what makes you feel better then us?!

    Ubermensch Kahn: *reaches inside his jacket, pulls out a thermos and hands it to quildo, without even taking his gaze forwards*

    DR Mechano: I have already told you what I can bring to this alliance, technology and genetic manipulation...

    DR Mechano: you want a superhuman bodyguard with no morales...I'm your go to person

    Beyond Reach: I am referring to Kallandra, she is just a useless psychopath as far as I know.

    Spruk: *flicks out a knife, glances at Beyond*

    Kallandra Mortaana: *pulls out what appears to be a thermos from the folds of her coat, unscrews the top and takes a sip*

    Quildo: *holds out her empty mug for Kahn and takes the fresh one with a small smile*

    Countess Leeches: Question for you doctor, if say one of us killed a hero, would you resist such a thing, knowing you may still have heroic friends.

    Marie Laveau: I found that pychopaths are zever useless

    Wintertron: Woah woah woah woah woah. Psycho, maybe. Useless, hell no.

    Tomb: *as a precortion jangles something shiny in front of Rapts face*

    Beyond Reach: What can she do that we can't?

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: *mutters to himself about choosing one's enemies wisely*

    Spruk: You'd be suprised.

    Marie Laveau: everything you wont I guess

    DR Mechano: no...I have no friends among the heroes now...you are free to do with any captured heroes as you wish...

    Ubermensch Kahn: *pours the fresh coffee and without moving his gaze, refills for quildo then replaces the thermos back in his jacket, still as ever impassive*

    Rapturous: *looks at it for a moment, before reaching out to take it*

    Marie Laveau: Kahn.. any coffee left?

    Beyond Reach: Examples please Spruk as lady Kallandra ppears to be silent for the moment.

    Rumour: *tugs a pack of gum from her pocket and offers some to Quildo and Kahn*

    Ubermensch Kahn: * doesnt even react *

    Quildo: *sips the coffee*

    Blood Ghoul: does the same go for any villains not present here ?

    Marie Laveau: *grrr*

    Tomb: *looks like the precaution wasn't needed, lets Rapt take hold of the jangly shiny thing*

    Rapturous: *plays with it a little*

    DR Mechano: and in regards any other villains, yes, you may do with them as you wish, unless they express a reason to join this alliance...in which case they are to be left alone.

    Marie Laveau: You.. with the coffee..

    Spruk: Actions speak louder than words. *he plays around with his knife*

    Blood Ghoul: clairity is most usefull , thank you

    DR Mechano: a common failing among we villains is that we rarely, if ever, work together, that has to change if we are to bring society to it's knees....or atleast make a decent profit off of it...

    Beyond Reach: Well, if none will tell me what use a random psychopath is, I'll have to abstein from giving her my assistance.

    Quildo: *looks over at Laveau with her eyebrows delicately raised, the polite smile ever present*

    Kallandra Mortaana: So, you feel psychopaths' are useless?

    Marie Laveau: *looks really anoyed now*

    Blood Ghoul: she is delightful to look at , is that not enough ?

    Spruk: *mumbles, looking at Kal*

    DR Mechano: tell me...what are the PPD likely to go after...someone who is trashing and smashing shop fronts and maiming people...or someone who deals with plans within plans...psychopaths and us mayhem causers make for good cover for any subtle plans

    Beyond Reach: We're all psychopaths in some measure. Otherwise we would not be villains.

    Marie Laveau: *looks around...*

    Tomb: *coughs before looking over to Beyond* Deniability, an extra hand that takes joy in carnage?

    Beyond Reach: So basically, a random person who kills people. A thug.

    Marie Laveau: Loa... it will be for ze othe' day

    Kallandra Mortaana: I like to use my mind tricks.. get folks to trust me.. before i.. disembowel them.. It can be a useful skill.

    Blood Ghoul: your pardon you humans are psychopaths ..some of us are other things

    Countess Leeches: As the doctor says, we must prove we are not rabble, we must, unite, we can kill each other after, but the heroes must fall fisrt.

    Tomb: While the heroes have you pinned down, have her perform a few atrociaties to lower the heat upon yourself.

    DR Mechano: see for someone so young the little one is a tad wiser than yourself mystical one

    Kallandra Mortaana: *glances at Tomb*

    DR Mechano: and M'lady Leeches does speak the truth

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Agreed, the hero population must be lowered........significantly.

    DR Mechano: right...now we move onto plans...what people are planning if they're hiring

    DR Mechano: myself...I need a couple of people skilled with explosives and know the sewer routes around Paragon...

    Marie Laveau: Actually.. this might be a good way to releev ze' boredom

    Beyond Reach: I would like to seal this dimension off from all others.

    Quildo: *has another sip from her mug*

    Rumour: *blows another short-lived bubble, replacing her gum pack in her pocket*

    Pistol: I would like to attack the city and killa s many people as I can

    DR Mechano: perhaps something a little less...grandiose...

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Don't be so hasty Beyond Reach.......the other dimensions have much to offer.

    Pistol: Preferably some time next week.

    DR Mechano: hmm..next week...might clash with my plan...

    Pistol: Fine. Screw your plan.

    Kallandra Mortaana: *stays quiet*

    Beyond Reach: I underestimated how many utterly unpredictable psychopaths there were here.

    DR Mechano: *takes out a PDA, "suppose I can delay it by a week"

    Marie Laveau: Money for now is a good thing.. I am used to living in luxury

    Pistol: Good. You do that doc.

    Blood Ghoul: myself , i am to say between plans , awaiting development , which means i and mine are free to assist others .

    Rumour: *looks back at Pistol, an eyebrow raised as she lowers her chin to peer over her glasses, then looks back to Mechano*

    Spruk: I have something planned..

    DR Mechano: and Pistol may I suggest you do not take that tone with other members...

    Pistol: Shut your face Mechano.

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Looks to Spruk* Anything to do with that thing you were working on the other day?

    DR Mechano: now...if you don't mind...

    Pistol: Did you just push me?

    Quildo: *sips her coffee*

    Pistol: Did you just push me?!

    Spruk: No, that was for fun.

    Marie Laveau: I call forth the army's of baron Zamedi, fused to this plane with the power of Damballah himself!

    DR Mechano: alright...let's all settle down...

    Beyond Reach: You want something less grandiose...Ok, preventing time travel from ever being possible again.

    Pistol: Mechano, did you just push me?!

    Tomb: Oh dear..... this how it starts.

    Ubermensch Kahn: * looks at mechano, removes his glasses, wipes them and places them back on, completely impassive*

    Quildo: *looks at the development with little interest*

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Goes to stand by Tomb*

    DR Mechano: yes, yes I did pistol...because you were treating me with disrespect...no villain, especially in this room, deserves to be talked to like that...no matter their skills!

    Pistol: I'll let it slid, if you want, but you gotta apologise you wrikly old man.

    Blood Ghoul: humans , they really are just fodder ..

    Spruk: *rubs his hands together*

    Countess Leeches: You see this is why we fail, we act like like school children, do you not see the bigger picture? the heroes want this, we do their work for them by fighting one another.

    Pistol: I talk trash all the time you moron.

    Pistol: Don't mean you should push me.

    Pistol: Say sorry!

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: *yawn*

    Wintertron: Jeez, I take a couple of seconds to watch a funny vid on this thing and the next thing there's someone at someone else's throat.

    DR Mechano: *sighs* fine...sorry..

    Rumour: *picks at her fingernails with a quiet sigh*

    Beyond Reach: This thing is obviously a disrupotive presence.

    DR Mechano: right...

    Pistol: God.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: yes?

    Pistol: Honestly mechano, I am so disappointed.

    DR Mechano: anyway...as I was saying...I'm looking for hired muscle...

    Spruk: *shakes his head* Saying sorry.. What a low.. *chuckles*

    Beyond Reach: How did I know you would say that Ambivalence?

    Rumour: *mutters* Chica should get out more.

    Pistol: *sniggers*

    Marie Laveau: ok.. prove you can keep this bunch together

    DR Mechano: you will be paid well...

    Marie Laveau: lets give him a chance

    Countess Leeches: Well I could offer a squad of arrack robots.

    Quildo: *glances at Rumour*

    Pistol: What? You're paying us now? For what?

    Countess Leeches: attack

    Blood Ghoul: this muscle ..it is to do what ?

    Rumour: *looks back at her with a calm expression, blowing another bubble before nodding*

    Beyond Reach: I could offer Nadeth. That's about it. I don't feel like this is the kind of thing I wish to get involved in.

    Spruk: *looks around the room*

    Tomb: *leans forward in her seat at the mention of pay*

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: You can't offer Nadeth, he is my minion.

    DR Mechano: the muscle will be required to rig explosives in vehicles located outside the shop fronts in Kings Row, Steel Canyon and Skyway City...

    Spruk: Hmm? Steel? Skyway?

    Kallandra Mortaana: *raises an eyebrow*

    DR Mechano: and I'm paying people if they choose to do the work, it's an odd occurance to someone like you Pistol...but yes...I pay my helpers...

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Sorry, manual labor is of little interest to me.

    Marie Laveau: is there no other way then blowing things up!

    Spruk: I may have to change my plans..

    Blood Ghoul: , i am a big fan of modern weaponry , but it is not my area of talent , sorry Doctor

    Pistol: I'll talk to some of my boys, they'll give you a hand then Mech. In the name of this New World Alliance. I don't need your money.

    Tomb: *makes a note, mubling * Skulls, outcasts, trolls....

    Beyond Reach: Send the daemon Ambivalence.

    Countess Leeches: I could fit my robots with rockets, who needs bombs.

    DR Mechano: actually the whole reason for it being explosive is so it's a huge distraction...

    Marie Laveau: have you guys eve' heard of ze stealth

    Kallandra Mortaana: A distraction from what exactly?

    Quildo: *raises a delicate eyebrow at Mechano and speaks in her melodic voice* Which shop fronts?

    Marie Laveau: robots.. explosives

    Countess Leeches: self distruct them after, no proof.

    Marie Laveau: like children with ze toys

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: He's refurnishing my holiday home next week, no can do Beyond Reach.

    DR Mechano: well there just so happens to be a shipment of high powered technologically advanced weapons making their way towards Portal Corp...I don't know about you BUT I would like to get my hands on them...

    DR Mechano: as for which shop fronts...doesn't matter...just needs to go boom

    Beyond Reach: Can I destroy Portal Corp.?

    Pistol: Yes please.

    Wintertron: *raises a hand* Hey, as long as I don't have to get blown up myself in the process, I'm all for it!

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Depends what you would call advanced?

    Quildo: *sips her coffee*

    DR Mechano: stuff that even I can barely dream of...

    Blood Ghoul: what protects these weapons in transit

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Hands Tomb a thermos flask and winks*

    Pistol: Good question

    Beyond Reach: I will help as long as I can destroy Portal Corp. in the process.

    DR Mechano: and destroying portal corp is a big no...it will attract too much attention

    Spruk: *sighs, mumbling*

    Pistol: Destroy Portal Corp. Do you even know what defences they got in place?

    Tomb: *pours her self a drink the coppery smell no doubt familar to all in the room*

    Pistol: What makes you think you can destroy Portal Coprs?

    Beyond Reach: I don't care. I just want them gone.

    Marie Laveau: I have no stake in ze technology

    Ubermensch Kahn: * leans over and whispers into Quildos ear then stands straight again staring forwards*

    Marie Laveau: but if it gains help for me later

    Pistol: Go shoot them to death then. Nobody is stopping you.

    Marie Laveau: I will do what I can

    Beyond Reach: Shoot? How vile.

    Marie Laveau: I provide the cheap labor

    Pistol: What do you suggest?

    Beyond Reach: Well, destabilise the portal gates thus causing a cataclysmic explosion that destroys the main building.

    Pistol: Bullets work just fine on portal scientists last time I checked.

    Quildo: *makes the slightest of nods to Kahn*

    Countess Leeches: A earthquake machine could bring the building down, but of course, it would take a pretty big earthquake.

    Beyond Reach: That could work as well. Anyone happen to know where I could find an earthquake machine?

    Marie Laveau: I can just place a powerful toxic in the aerco system

    Beyond Reach: Won't destroy the building....

    Marie Laveau: no sound, no of ze problems

    Spruk: Who here knows the Talos Island... *mumbles, thinking* Steel Canyon and.. Hmm.. Faultline areas enough to be able to sneak around them?

    Pistol: I think Portal Corps have failsafe systems in place for that sort of thing. You might need more than one brains to plan an attack on Portal Corps. I'm willing to help you.

    Countess Leeches: That wont stop the technology however.

    Beyond Reach: I would appreciate your help if you are willing to give it then.

    Marie Laveau: you sound liek one with a mind... I listen

    Countess Leeches: And remember recluse has a portal as well, if we take out the heroes portals well, balance is sometimes useful.

    Pistol: But not until next week, I want us to go into Paragon City and kill some people first. If that's okay with you.

    Quildo: *checks her wrist watch*

    Marie Laveau: anyone in particular.. Pistol

    Kallandra Mortaana: Spruk, I used to live in Paragon, i know those areas.. quite well in fact

    Beyond Reach: Hmmm. Ambivalence, could you send Nadeth in my place?

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: People are just cattle? What will killing a few of them achieve?

    Blood Ghoul: I have a presence in Paragon whos demise do you seek ?

    Pistol: Nobody in particular but if Pious Hunter gets a killing bullet to his head, I'll give you free sex.

    Spruk: Ohh? *laughs* Right..

    Spruk: *looks at Pistol*

    Marie Laveau: hahaha.. I can get that from anyone

    Beyond Reach: *retches for a moment*

    Spruk: Hm..

    Pistol: *looks at Spruk looking at Pistol*

    Wintertron: *blinks. Not that anyone could really see*

    Marie Laveau: *throws a small vial to pistol*

    Kallandra Mortaana: *looks at Spruk* I can get into Paragon, no problem.. we could discuss this.. later if you want?

    Marie Laveau: Use this on him..

    Blood Ghoul: shame ..i am such a poor shot ..would disembowling count ?

    Marie Laveau: maybe it works

    Tomb: *shakes her head*

    Spruk: Yes..

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: *shakes head at Beyond Reach dismissively*

    DR Mechano: each villain is free to follow their own agenda...I merely organised this so we can be better deal with large organisations of heroes and share our info...

    Beyond Reach: *sighs*

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Nods* Later then..

    Spruk: *nods*

    Kallandra Mortaana: Call me? *grins*

    DR Mechano: heroes always work well together..villains don't..

    Pistol: So much to do, so little time.

    Spruk: *chuckles, looking around the room*

    Marie Laveau: I am willing to give it a try

    Pistol: We should make a schedule.

    Blood Ghoul: you wish to create space in which to operate ? yes Doctor ?

    Marie Laveau: if it doesnt.. well

    Countess Leeches: which makes us easy to control and easy to manipulate.

    DR Mechano: indeed my friend...indeed

    Rumour: *takes her gum from her mouth and sticks it to the fire extiguisher beside her*

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Moves back to stand by Tomb*

    Marie Laveau: I outlive most of you anyway I guess

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: If heroes were left to their own devices, they would find issues of dispute and end up destroying one another. Such is the nature of man.

    Beyond Reach: Well, I could certainly see how Pistol's and the Doctor's ideas could intertwine. She could rampage when Mechano places the bombs thus creating an even greater distraction.

    Pistol: Yeah but...

    DR Mechano: *chuckles* that is a good point

    Tomb: *Looks at Kall, grinning slightly*

    Blood Ghoul: do you have a target group of heroes doctor , or is it the general population ..

    Marie Laveau: Give me a lot of bodiesand I build you an army

    Pistol: I want the kills. No fun making heroes beat each other... then again, that might make good entertainment.

    Tomb: Well.....

    Kallandra Mortaana: *Looks at Tomb and raises an eyebrow".. What?

    Quildo: *speaks politely and in her low melodical voice* Dr Mechano? What is the point of all this? I do have other meetings to attend to.

    Marie Laveau: but dont damage the goods or I cant make the zombie

    Countess Leeches: Add my bots rampaging to that, yes, could be quite fun watching a chunk or two of paragon burn, I wonder what their response would be though.

    Ubermensch Kahn: *reaches into his jacket and pulls out a small packet of gum, which he hands to rumour whilst still staring forwards*

    Marie Laveau: *looks at blood Ghoul*

    DR Mechano: Pistol, may I suggest you use your rampage while most of the heroes are distracted...and the point of all this...networking for one and we all need support or hired muscle every now and again

    Rumour: *takes the pack without comment, putting it into her left jacket pocket*

    Spruk: Planning a mass attack eh?

    Tomb: Surely a workable idea would be to use the Doctors plan of creating chaos to also work along side Pistols kill everyone plan?

    Pistol: Oh you know what? You mercenaries are no fun. What are you even doing here. Mechano, these people are a security risk.

    Beyond Reach: That is what I suggested.

    Pistol: How do we know if we can trust them.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Kill everyone "Plan" *laughs*

    DR Mechano: The Corporation can be trusted, they may be mercenaries but I severly doubt they would sell anyone out..

    Beyond Reach: Wait, Ambivalence. Those are corporate executives.

    Rumour: *gives the faintest smirk*

    Pistol: They have not agreed to our alliance and still we have explosed our deepest desires and our darkest plans, to them!

    Quildo: *smiles politely*

    DR Mechano: after all...I do believe they remember what happened last time I got into their mainframe...

    DR Mechano: and that was merely a harmless prank...

    Marie Laveau: I dont like them...

    Blood Ghoul: i have no wish to start open warfare with Paragon , a raid or two yes ..but not beyond that

    Tomb: For example drawing heroes and law enforcement into a kill zone, by using the explosions as a lure? And then as they arrive to deal with the Doctors 'zany' plans, Pistols troops open fire with sniper rounds, turning the
    streets red with caped blood?

    Pistol: Alight. So long as you know you can keep a leeash on them Mechano.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Red with caped blood. Sounds good to me.

    DR Mechano: someone control that zombie...

    Pistol: what the fu*k is this?!

    Marie Laveau: he misbehaved

    Countess Leeches: I advise caution on killing though.

    Pistol: [censored] faced fu**ing zombies!

    Marie Laveau: hahaha...

    Beyond Reach: Back in a moment....

    Wintertron: ...Ya know, Leashes aren't just good for dogs, ya know

    Marie Laveau: here.. to make you feel better

    DR Mechano: right...those interested in myself and Pistol's plans...I suggest you contact us at a later date

    DR Mechano: it seems the children are growing restless...

    DR Mechano: and by that I don't mean Tomb and her associate

    Marie Laveau: *gives a bottle of whisky*

    Countess Leeches: Yes children.

    Tomb: *pours more from the thermos before offering it back to Kall*

    Pistol: *collects the whisky with enthusiasm*

    Tomb: Thank you for the clarification there Doctor.

    Kallandra Mortaana: *takes the thermos and takes a sip of the contents*

    DR Mechano: and if any of you require any work though technology or genetic engineering, you are free to contact me for paid work

    Pistol: *sips whisky*

    Countess Leeches: So who agrees to this organisation and who is not one of its elements?

    Marie Laveau: I hoped for coffee instead.. but people refuse to share..

    Marie Laveau: *looks at Kahn again*

    DR Mechano: if you agree...say aye...

    Marie Laveau: *not happy*

    Spruk: Aye.

    Pistol: I think we all agree, except the money-grabbing mercenary slave [censored] over there.

    Countess Leeches: Aye

    Tomb: Aye.

    Kallandra Mortaana: Aye

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: I'll help while it suits me.

    Blood Ghoul: Aye

    Wintertron: Hell yeah! Uh, I mean... Aye.

    Ubermensch Kahn: * completely ignores the comment *

    God Killer: Aye, for now.

    Pistol: Aye.

    Quildo: Right, Dr Mechano, make a list of what you might require as we can get it.. for a price naturally. As for your plans, if you require professional assistance you can always contact the Corporation via our official channels.
    *turns on her heel and leaves*

    Ubermensch Kahn: * smiles wryly at quildo's comment, his scarred face twisting slightly, then nods to quildo allowing her to move*

    Marie Laveau: Ignore me he...

    Pistol: Good riddens!

    DR Mechano: right...with that sorted...I shall call this meeting to a close

    Spruk: *hops down*

    Pistol: Okay. Keep in touch Doc.

    DR Mechano: from this moment on, you are all members of a New World Alliance...a World in which we prosper and thrive...

    Blood Ghoul: mercenary ..with out conviction or heart

    Pistol: I look forward to the plans for next week!

    Kallandra Mortaana: *puts the lid back on the thermos, popping it back into a large inner pocket on her coat*

    DR Mechano: remember those who are members are to be exempt from attacks...

    Beyond Reach: I have returned.

    Pistol: Bit late Beyond

    DR Mechano: which means no more Pranks towards yourself Ms Pistol on my behalf...

    Pistol: Deal.

    Pistol: Truce.

    DR Mechano: Truce

    Beyond Reach: What has been decided in absence?

    Tomb: *Half whispered to Kall* That is worth the time taken by this meeting alone.

    Pistol: You're still a smelly old man with muscle problems and weak bladder controls.

    DR Mechano: and you're still an arrogant [censored]...but we'll get past that

    Pistol: *scowls*

    Countess Leeches: You are to be executed to sign the formation of this organisation....just kidding.

    Marie Laveau: so much love in this room

    DR Mechano: it's business...

    DR Mechano: not love..

    Pistol: Ha!

    DR Mechano: oh...and is someone a member of the Court of the Blood Countess?

    Wintertron: You'd think they were a married couple. Or something. Maybe not.

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: I love evil!

    Pistol: I'm outta here.

    Marie Laveau: ha.. you say now

    Pistol: until next week!

    Marie Laveau: but you want to put Pious hunter down to earn ze sex yes!?

    DR Mechano: since they didn't send a represenative...the Court of the Blood Countess is free game...

    Pistol: Tomorrow. we commit murderrr! Yeah!

    Marie Laveau: hehe

    DR Mechano: perhaps pestering them until they agree to join is permitted...

    Ambivalent Ecstasy: Waiting till tommorow to commit murder? Seems a bit much.

    Kallandra Mortaana: *whispers to Tomb* Bored now...

    Pistol: I know that the Blood Countess is in alliance with us.

    God Killer: *grins at the mention of killing*

    Beyond Reach: No, I say if you are not one of us, you are against us. When you decide to join us you are with us.

    Marie Laveau: I dont think the countess will be happy

    Blood Ghoul: the undead are tasteless , no fun in hunting them

    Pistol: I have spoken with her in person.

    Spruk: *takes a pad of paper and a pen from his jacket and writes down 'Pious Hunter'*

    DR Mechano: ah in that case...they can't be attacked either

    DR Mechano: right...meeting adjourned!

    Pistol: Ha!

    DR Mechano: go forth and spread your villainy!

    Pistol: *leaves, screaming bloody murder*
  3. Sounds exciting. Mechano is planning his mayhem piece as forum RP and I am planning Pistol's invasion as zonal pvp, both kicking off in a couple weeks. I would imagine your MA emulation would take roughly just as long to write, construct and polish so, sure, you get my approval. I'll see about the costume files.
  4. ((Open Roleplay: Paragon Police Department's psychic division have been called in to work alongside Forensics on a string of murders. If your character works with the police, they may have called you in too. Even if you’re a passing hero or a brave civilian who wants to help with the investigation, feel free to join in. Same golden rule, no god-modding, basically meaning don't overdo it. Enjoy. Rated 15+))

    "You know what they call this part of the city?" said the captain, peering down at Lieutenant Hicks from a high fence. "They call it the land of the lost. Whole damn neighbourhood, torn apart in the first Rikti War, and with this city's dull witted government, it don't look like it'll be getting patched up proper anytime soon. You got the poor and the homeless wandering around with nothing else to depend on but crime. Most of them were mutilated by alien technology, now they call themselves the Lost, terrorizing normal folks with that their psychic powers. But not today Lieutenant Hicks, not today. Know why? 'Cos some idiot been out here and unleashed his own brand of dark justice. Come on up here and see for yourself lieutenant, brace yourself though, its an eye sore."

    The young lieutenant threw aside his bright white tie and hurled himself up onto the fence. With a deep breath, he lifted his gaze and slowly took in the landscape, but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw. Under the dark shadow of a long concrete bridge defaced with graffiti, laid a horrific scene of blood and gore. Body after body laid strewn across the sewerage, some were bloated with dirty water, bobbing lifelessly like unstrung puppets. Even from afar it was clear the victims were not just the mutated homeless but ordinary citizens who might have lived ordinary lives. "Like I said, its an eye sore, it's grotesque! There must be over a hundred dead under this bridge. Get your Shield Police people on this asap, call out the local heroes, post a message on the frequencies, just do something and do it quick. We need these bodies moved and examined. Preferably before dawn, which gives you an hour, maybe two. I don't want to see this mess splashed all over the morning papers!"
  5. Just been talking with Beyond Reach and decided on the foundations for the third plot Death in Skyway City.
  6. You might consider emulating DJ Zero and slap a level 1 exemplar on us all to avoid battle temptations from those oh-so-naughty trigger-fingered villains.
  7. Pocket D PVP map sounds most practical Mech.
  8. Never done anything fantasy but this is funny. Useful, inspirational bit of comedy actually. LOL.
  9. I will have a surprise guest sitting in. *evil grin*
  10. As Dante kindly pointed out, I've mentioned six good teams worthy of a second look and those are all heroes. There are a few popular villain teams as well. Here is a list of those I know, with brief descriptions of what I think the teams stand for and roughly what their numbers are. Hope this gives you a better overlook of the union heroes and villains RP community.

    Guardians of the Earth are a small team of brave and mighty sentinels, based in space orbit, guarding the planet from local and intergalactic threats. From a growing roster of 12 heroes, there are currently 4 core members.

    The Militia is a team of citizens who volunteer to defend the city from crime, gangs, outlaws and terrorists threats. From a roster of 26 heroes, there are currently 18 core members. Mutant characters are popular.

    New Heroes Union is a collection of heroes who strive to protect our dimension from domestic and alien threats. From a growing roster of 82 heroes, there are currently 28 core members. Magic characters are popular.

    Art of War is a group of highly trained warriors from England who now use their skills for global operations. This group mainly plays out-of-character and only a few members are roleplayers. From a growing roster of 84 heroes, there are currently 18 core members. Science characters are popular.

    Unity Vigil is an organization formed to help heroes and provide a networking group to liaise with government and non-government organizations. I'm not a member of this team so I can only approximate a number of 12 core members, and hazard a guess at a roster of 48. I think Technology characters are most popular.

    Shield Police is my own project supergroup with a growing roster of 12 heroes and 4 core members. We are designed to work with Paragon City's Police Department. Our mission is always making Paragon City safe for all the people we serve. We cut crime and the fear of crime while upholding the Law. Our vision is to make Paragon City the safest major city in the world. A lot of Natural characters but all have an interest to work with Police.

    The Corporation are quite simply top of the market mercenaries who will get the job done for the right price. They're not just guns and muscles though, they have good characters all round and interesting action dramas. I would have to hazard a guess at 44 members with 16 core players. Technology characters are popular.

    Court of the Blood Countess is a massive nest of monsters of all kinds. Literally. They have ghosts, witches, vampires, demons, zombies, great big mutated freaks and everything else that goes bump in the night. All of them in allegiance to a powerful vampire witch, the Blood Countess. I can guess their roster at 82 members with maybe 18 core players. Magic characters are popular.

    The Cadre is a small secret organization operating from a stripclub in Port Oakes. They work as agents of a hidden master known only as Mr Mason but on his off days, the gang operate as freelance criminals. Probably a roster of 24 with 12 core players. Mutant characters seem to be most popular.

    The Hyenas are a rag tag assortment of monster hunters making money from the capture, or extermination of the various strange creatures that plague the Rogue Isles and Paragon City. It's a small gig with probably 4 core members from a roster of 12. Natural characters seem most popular.

    The Dusk Spiders was originally created by loyalists Doctor Bolt and Omega Chief as a semi-rogue Arachnos unit but has evolved over time to become a mostly autonomous Arachnos division. I would hazard a guess at 12 core members from a roster of 32. Wouldn't be surprised if Science characters were most popular.

    New World Alliance however is a global coalition of villains currently being set up by the chaos-monger Dr Edward Mechano. With help from me, this alliance is set to function by communicating on an in-game global channel. It is basically a gathering of ideas, visions and opinions of all the characters across the Union Universe who wish to benefit from chaos and destruction.

    What is not known or at least rumoured, is that behind the scenes, there is a lot of political influence and exterterrestrial interferances involved, much of it linked in with the secret sect, the Midnight Illuminati who are said to bent on moulding a new world order upon Earth.

    So far we have four villain groups in agreement and several other bad guys interested in sharing their doomsday plans and resources. We think it will be a major plot device for community-wide roleplaying and zone events and you're welcome to join us, regardless of which supergroup you're working with. I hope this helps.
  11. Pious

    The Dawn Patrol

    I appreciate that as a new player, all this debating might have confused you by now Chiller Beam, LOL. That's what we're like around here, we enjoy a good old constructive arguement, and contrary to popular opinion, it is all good-natured. Anyway, the bottom line is, you're free to do what you like but some people will suggest that you avoid calling yourself the Dawn Patrol, so as not to offend those who may see it as god-modding canon.
  12. Pious

    The Dawn Patrol

    ((Omega Chief makes a valid point. There is little originality in this idea and technically, writing in a Paragon City branch of the Dawn Patrol is not your call. That sort of thing is up to the developers who write that part of the game's history. Hope I've explained that well enough. Think of it as copyright infringement where the Dawn Patrol is copyrighted. Why not reimagine your supergroup backstory and think up something better than even Dawn Patrol? However, having said all that, if you really don't want to start over, that's fine too. This is only just a game and what you're doing is not a crime, or at least I don't think it is. LOL. Have fun.))
  13. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    The beam of light faded away as it accepted the agent, the alien and the doctor into it's portal. The laboratory remained quiet and lifeless for a moment. Then suddenly the portal returned, welcoming the three back into this world. "Please do remember that this organisation is deathly secret" said the agent, turning on his heels and stepping back into the light. "And for what it's worth Doctor Mechano, I am a big fan of your work. On the behalf of the United States of America, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Midnight Illuminati and our New World Alliance. We'll be watching your show now Doctor, with peak interest."
  14. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    The agent punched in a few keys on his gadget wristwatch and a beam of light energy materialised behind him. "Will you come with me, to an undisclosed location, we have something to show you." Asked the agent, moving towards the portal and ushering the doctor to follow him in.
  15. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    The suited man stood up slowly and moved closer to the doctor. He reached into his inside pocket and produced a badge identifying him as Agent Philip Gray of the United States Secret Service. "With all due respect sir, we always knew where your broadcasts were coming from" said Gray. "Your chaos mongering has made us alot of profit Doctor Mechano and considering your latest city-wide message, we wish to make an offer. The kind that you cannot refuse, if you catch my drift." The agent added, a playful smile dancing on his lips.
  16. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    Sunday 10th. Mechano's Laboratory.

    Seated in the middle of the large derelict lab was a suited man with the seal of the United States Secret Service sewn into his blazer. He waited patiently for the doctor to show up while adjusting his earpiece radio.
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    Have fun. And Pious try not to bail on the group you form, in the first month, like you did with the LoRDs. <3


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Haha. Not funny. I already explained what happened here. I won't bother repeating myself.
  18. It is sounding like Tuesday night is preferable.
  19. I'm good Tuesday, Wednessday or Thursday. Meanwhile, your TV ad has gotten some political attention Mech.
  20. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    ((It's alright. I got plans.))
  21. Pious

    Unwelcome return

    ((Wanted to post a response but I can't unfortunately. Pistol being dead and all... again.))
  22. So many new people this month. A lot of them are joining established teams like you Season, a few are making their own. You said you're looking out for RP, best place to find supers socialising is either at the pub in Pocket D or the park by the big statue in Galaxy City.

    I've been privileged to become a member of some of the main roleplaying groups in the Union Universe, this server. Here is a list of those I know, with brief descriptions of what I think the teams stand for and roughly what their numbers are. Hope this gives you a better overlook of the union heroes RP community.

    Guardians of the Earth are a small team of brave and mighty sentinels, based in space orbit, guarding the planet from local and intergalactic threats. From a growing roster of 12 heroes, there are currently 4 core members.

  23. Hey there Reach, welcome to the Union Universe. Thanks for showing interest in the NWA, you have got the idea so far. As for zonal PVP, in roleplaying terms, it is what I would call war. That's the simple description. At the climax of a story, when the hero has all the information and he's certain that the villain is responsible for that awful genocide, he will chase after the bad guy. The bad guy might turn around and whack him, they get into a fight, repeatedly knocking each other out, back and forth trips to the hospital until one side retreats, decidedly dies or gets jailed. That is RP PVP. It's not for everyone, but it is fun to watch or do, especially when there is plot and reason for the battles. Lastly, mission architecture with custom villains. As in, our own villains drawn up and written into our own missions. In plots designed for heroes, they would be the enemy. For us, they would be allies. Hope that answers your questions. Oh and yes, task forces are a series of special missions with special rewards, designed for a fixed team.
  24. I've been getting lots of really good questions so far and the answer is best given by example. Imagine twenty leaders, villains gathered around a huge table, most of them representing a larger organisation. What are they talking about? I don't know, but they're probably planning how to 'improve' the whole world as they see fit, most likely through brute force, hostility and chaos, probably because it's the quickest method with visible results. That would be forum or supergroup base RP. In-game wise, we're looking at major zonal PvP like old times, task forces and lots of MA arcs with custom villains. Plot wise, the more members the better. Like the very funny TV show Pinky and the Brain, one day the NWA are on the streets 'eradicating' psychics. Heroes foil the plan so the next day, they're back 'exterminating' magic. They may try something else the next week, like an army of uber-trolls or the traditional doomsday weapon launch straight down to the subtle extreme like a hostile political takeover. Hope that gives you a good picture of whats possible.
  25. I remember not too long ago when Dr Mechano called together a few of Unionverse's major villains in an attempt to unite forces. Mercenaries of the Corporation were there, monsters from the Court of the Blood Countess were present and even the thugs of The Gang showed up. It didn't go down too well and if I recall, it was mainly due to Pistol's arrogance. Go me! Anyway, I enjoyed the roleplay and the concept of an alliance among major villain groups and their leaders could do a lot for creative storytelling. So if we put aside Pistol and her characteristics of failing alliances, would everyone else be interested in this idea? A big fat collection of our various villains teamed up IC, helping each other reach their 'shared' goals. Opinions please. Especially you Mechano.
