Game Introduction
This game is a Mutants and Mastermind 2nd Edition Iron Age game. The commercial above is for a multi-national corporation called Global Dynamics. With the turn away from super heroes from most of the public, including laws passed against the acts of 'non-sanctioned super heroic activity,' some have decided to bite the bullet and work for corporations as they try and better humanity as a whole.
This game is set in the same world as Freedom City. Because the corporation is multi-national, this game will be spanning the globe as well as being located in Freedom City during the Iron Age period of its timeframe. In other words, Freedom City is a pretty dark place right now and it seems as though no one really cares about it.
Joining the Global Dynamics Team
There are four ways that you can join the Global Dynamics Team:
1 - The Process. This is a secret bioenhancement created by Global Dynamics itself. Most employees know about the Process and Global Dynamics standing offer for anyone to undergo it. In exchange for working as part of the GD super team, the subject undergoes a six week enhancement course of drugs and surgery to create a super being. Global Dynamics assures potential applicants that the process is safe and has no harmful side effects. Think the 'Everyman' project by Lex Luthor from '52'.
2 - Outside Hirings. These are people who are already super heroes and who have decided that in order to continue to make a living and do what they think is right, have decided to join up with Global Dynamics and try and do some good. Their contract is usually for a year and breaking that contract... well.. would royally cause them a major problem down the road. Once part of GD, always part of GD the saying goes.
3 - Criminals. Finally, the third option are criminals who have been apprehended while trying to act against Global Dynamics. Some normals are given the option of undergoing the process (see option 1 above) or going to jail for a long time. If the person is already a super powered being, instead of being turned over to the authority, GD pays the individual to work for them and stay out of the gulags that have starting to show up to house super powered beings who step outside the law.
Character Generation/Guidelines
This game as already stated is an Iron Age game. Power Level starts at 9 with a total of 135 points to allocate. Standard rules apply when generating characters. Please understand that this is not a first come first serve campaign. I will be accepting no more than 6 people in this game. I would like to get the game started with completed characters no later than Tuesday May 26th. So this gives you a week and a couple of days to get fleshed out characters. If you can't do this in that amount of time, than this isn't the game for you.
Please also understand that I'm looking for characters that would come from all options listed above. I would like at least 1 or 2 characters who accept to undergo the Process while the rest could take either option 2 or 3 as their origin. It's important to understand that if one character already grabs a spot and says 'it's mine' don't hesitate to apply for the origin. I may like your character better than the other person's character.
I have almost all of the books published by Green Ronin for the line. If there are powers or something that isn't in those books that you want, talk to me one on one and we'll see what we can come up with.
Besides the character sheet, I would like the following information:
Character Real Name and Super Hero Name
Date and Location of Birth
Physical Description
Background
Personality
Objectives/Goals
Why I Should Take Your Character (yes, I'm asking you to sell your character to me but this also gives me an idea of how articulate you and what type of grasp you have the game as a whole)
Any questions, post here and we'll discuss! Thanks!
