Game Description

Mannheim Germany.
The world watches on live TV as the worlds most famous and trusted super hero team vanishes in a brilliant flash of light.
Team Tomorrow is gone, to where and for how long is anyone guess. But what is known is that he world is quickly going to hell in a hand basket. Super Villains and terrorist groups all over the world that once avoided team tomorrows wraith now know that there is no one to stop them.

And how are you?
A no body, a greenhorn, a second team B-team player.
But that's the point of being a hero, some times your not the right person for the job.... Your the only person for the job.

The Game
First and foremost you need to need to understand that I'm looking for something very specific in the game. What is that? I'm not going to tell you... Why? Because I want you to make character that you want to play. If that does not match up with what I want, its not your fault. It's not my fault that's just how it works.

There is going to be a character sheet that will to some extent help you out filling in some of the stuff about the character your going to be making. So don't panic. Also I'm Super Willing to work with people to help them with some aspects of there character, if you have a character that you have always wanted to play but never had the game, Great! I will do my very best to help you fit that character into the game that I want to run.

Some amount of the game is going to be freeform/player run.
That is to say that a good part of the game is going to be based on your characters back story. Have a enemy? A ally? Good, because I'm going to use that. Have a ideal for a adventure? Great run it by me... Heck if you want to you can run small adventures/mission.

The Setting
The setting for this game is going to be a home brew setting. I do this for a simple reason, because there is already a GREAT DC/Marvel set of games running, and because I don't want to fit my game into freedom city. Now all that being said, I'm using a VERY heavily modified Aberrant Setting. If you know nothing about the aberrant setting, that's fine. If you do that's great to, but most everything will be changed.

What you need to know is the following.
Until about 1998 there where only a handful of 'Super Heroes' most of those be created by a event in world war II that produced a group of American and Nazi Super Soldiers. There have been a good number of vigilantes though the years.
But in 1998 a event took place that would forever change the world, super hero's started to appear in rapid repression around the world and by the year 2010 there where some 1200 meta-humans and humans using super science to fight/cause crime.

A team of super hero's formed by and backed by the UN named team tomorrow has actually solved a good number of the problems around the world, but as they do. More problems just pop up. That's really the extent of the setting that I am going to use.

The Players/Characters
Your characters are at best... Sidekicks.
They might be nobodies who have just gotten there super powers.
They might be low/no experience character that have done little more then stop a few muggers/pickpockets up until now.
But your character is now being called on to take up the mantel of team tomorrow? No.. Your being asked to do damage control, to plug the leak in the dyke as super villains and criminals take advantage of a world that has gotten use to the protection of a powerful group of super heroes and then had that protection pulled away.

There will be additional information on character creation in the game's thread.

The Rules
Now before anyone freaks out from what I'm about to say.. Be calm. Your brand new super heroes. And your going to learn quick.

#1: Your a Power level 7.... 110 Character points. (Note, Not 105)
#2: You get 3 skill points per 1 Character Point.

The GM
A few things.
I have been on the sight for quite some time, But I have only run a game once or twice and those lasted a few months, once because of me, and another time because of player drop off.. But I check the websight... About a dozen times a day, in most situations I can make small posts about a dozen time a day, but larger ones maybe once/twice a day.

YOU only need to be able to do once a day. (I also understand that things happen)
