eurhm , any advice how to recruit or contact possible members ?

Thanks guys

Okee, just so I don't get into trouble with Back Alley Brawler or any of the other big time heroes here's the edit version of the Project Penance SG

Project Penance:

Project Penance was originally created by Lazarus Ego. He, together with Black Smith, are silent sponsors of the SG. Although they closely follow all aspects of the SG, they aren't active members themselves.

Project Penance was formed for heroes who'd made grave mistakes and for reformed villains (on probation). It would offer them a second chance to prove to the community, and the world, they regret their past errors and want to make amends.

Lazarus Ego contacted the Drowning Samurai (bio follows) after watching him in the field for a while. A lengthy discussion demonstrated to Lazarus that they'd found the ideal man. Drowning Saumurai would be their laison; a go-between for the new recruits, Black Smith and himself, as well as providing day-to-day management when Lazarus was busy.

The Drowning Samurai bio:

As a Captain in the Wu army, Dian Wei made a name for himself during the "Three Kingdoms War" 331 B.C.

During a battle with the Shu army he swiftly followed the fleeing enemey warlord into the nearby sea, intent on finishing the coward.

The Shu warlord had thrown away his armour and sword, and unencumbered was swimming away rapidly. Dian Wei didn't pause to do the same, but simply followed him into the water. Such was his focus, and his rage, that even when he started to drown he did not stop. He didn't turn back or even try to swim. He started slashing the water with his sword, convinced in his fury that he could carve a path to his enemy. Combined with his pride, he entered a state of mind where he believed himself invincible, knowing that not even the water could beat him.

... But he was wrong, and the sea ineveitably claimed him.

As his body sank into the depths, a great Spirit of Vengeance appeared before Dian Wei. With a hazy gesture the being put life back in to Dian Wei, granting him a kind of immortality and charging him to do good.

He must now never forget that pride comes before a fall as he learns to appreciate the gift that life is in his cursed existance.

After spending some time in Paragon City he was contacted by Lazarus Ego and Black Smith to form Project Penance.

Hi everyone,

So I'm a longtime CoX player but pretty new to the RP part of the game.
I've come up with this idea for an RP SG

Project Penance:

Project Penance was originally created by the Back Alley Brawler. He, together with Blue Steel, are silent sponsors of the SG. Although they closely follow all aspects of the SG, they aren't active members themselves.

Project Penance was formed for heroes who'd made grave mistakes and for reformed villains (on probation). It would offer them a second chance to prove to the community, and the world, they regret their past errors and want to make amends.

The Back Alley Brawler contacted the Drowning Samurai (bio follows) after watching him in the field for a while. A lengthy discussion demonstrated to Brawler that they'd found the ideal man.

I think Back Alley Brawler'd be ideal as he's a rough tough hombre

With all te help you're putting in you'll get an honorable mention if I ever meet Statesman
Mind if I ask some more stuff as I'm making progresse ?

I was thinking of maybe letting the Sg be inspired by the DC comic The ousiders .. And as such I would like to put a Super hero promoter into the story line .. Like Batman was to the Outsiders ..
I was thinking of Synapse or Back Alley Brawler ..
Would this be realistic ? Or are there better characters to link to this kind of story ?

Many thanks ..
Just 2 questions
1: Should I just go ahead and make an SG ingame ?
2: How do I recruit RPers for this ?

It just hate global spamming ... And wouldn't fit my type of play

Well Merrow it's like this..
I have this character named The Drowning Samurai.

I've played this toon till lvl 36 now and came to the following idea whilst fighting the Rikiti in the Vanguard war zone.

I would like to start an RP SG where The Drowning Samurai trys to recruit reformed Villains or boarderline vigilanties. To teach them how precious life is. Tho he is happy go lucky and not disgusted by a good bar fight, he does value life and mankind.
So I would play it that he forms a kind of reformed villains or heroes on probation or with limitations.
Maybe I could mae it so he's sponserd by a known hero who believes in the initiatieve ...
I just started thinking about it as I was fighting alongside villains against the Rikiti ..

So there you have it
Maybe it's a Rookie idea and full of stereotype stuff or so but I'm trying ...

Think I could give it a shot ?
All advise is welcome

Ps : sorry if my english isn't perfect I'm from Belgium and try my best to spel correctly :s

Wow
Just read the Riot in the Row story !
I'm kinda lost for words ..
Very inspireing Britanic

I'm gonna do it , I'm gonna give it a shot ...
Watch me now .. hi hi hi hi

VERY cool

Nice one

Okee guys me again ...
Should I maybe start up my own Rp SG ?
I kinda have a fun story I would want to try ...
Or is this to abitous for a Rookie Rper ?

Hatesman ?
I think I'm in love

Thanks for all the help so far guys , you're great.

This is just what I needed to rediscover the love of the game

Many thanks

Well you just gave me all the hope I needed ..

If I bump into you somewhere , drinks are on me

Thanks a million MorganaFiolett,

Mighty sweet of you to help me out here ...
Starting to feel pretty lost outthere so I need some social contact

.. Or I would turn into a villain I fear

I've been playing CoX for 2 years now and realy love the background and character you can put in a toon.

I've noticed on the forums there's a lot of Roleplayers around but sadly don't bump into many in-game.

And I just don't wanna go Global shouting 'looking for a Roleplay family ?'

But to be honest I would love a home for some of my toons ..
Any help ?
Where should I look ?
What should I do ?

Thanks for all advise
