Game Description:

Game Opening

So what happens when the corporation decides to try a new genetic acceleration program and those first few test subjects don't work out as well as they are supposed to? What happens when that government operation to create a new food source for the masses instead turns the plant life into raving monsters? What happens when that lone scientist knows that his next experiment will be the one that puts him back into limelight... only to create a 20 foot creature that decides downtown is a good place... for its breakfast.

When things get out of control, who do you call? No, not Ghostbusters. You call your team. Only problem is that every time you accept a mission, you wonder if you're going to be able to survive long enough to cash the payment at the end.

Inspiration

This game is inspired by different movies, games and novels. This includes such games as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, movies such as The Night of The Living Dead trilogy and 28 Days Later, and more horror novels than you can shake a stick at.

Game System

This game will be using the Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition ruleset. It is set in a Modern Age era (same world as Freedom City is located) with a good dose of Iron Age grim natured fun. Responsibility for one's actions is a key theme in this game as in many cases you will be going in to clean up after other people's messes.

If there is one category that can fit this game is 'Action Horror.' There will be a good amount of combat and action and there is definitely a good amount of horror involved.

Power Levels and Restrictions

The PL for this game is 7 (105 PP). As per the Mastermind's Manual, no more than 14 points can be spent on one power. Even though these characters are superhuman, I want to have a game that is less superhuman and more really really amazing normal humans. This is going to restrict some of the uber powers out there and really really boosting them beyond belief, but at the same time its necessary for what this game will start with. Please understand that if your characters survive long enough, you will get a decent amount of PP in one shot.

You will be working for an independent international government agency whose name I am borrowing from Resident Evil: BSAA (Bioterriorism Security Assessment Alliance). You are all new recruits and I would prefer that most of the characters come from a military or scientific background. This is not a requirement, but it does help.

Character Submission Guidelines

In order to be fully considered for the game, you must have a complete application posted in this thread no later than TUESDAY JUNE 10TH AT 12:00 AM EDT. In other words, when the clock strikes midnight from Monday into Tuesday, the application process for this game is closed. I am looking for no more than 6 people for this game.

All characters need to have a full character sheet linked (using the M&M sheet on site) along with the following information (in these specific categories):

Character Name, Code Name (if any), Date of Birth, Location of Birth, Physical Appearance, Personal Background, Objectives/Goals (in other words, plot hooks for yours truly) and finally anything else that you might think I should know to influence your acceptance in the game. Millions of dollars deposited into a Swiss bank account will always work.

A Few Last Words

I originally was going to run this as an Agent level game but thought it would be more interesting to up the power level and allow superhuman abilities. Just remember that this is going to be a bit more toned down than a standard super hero game but I sure hope I get a few people here.

NightViperLord: I'm currently tossing up between a psychic and a sonic blaster type. Which would you prefer?

Sadly, I need to withdraw my application for this game. It looks quite enjoyable, but my other games have heated up and I don't have the required time. Plus I see a lot of new faces here and I'd like to give others a chance to get into a M&M game. This game looks fantastic, NVL, and I regret that I can't keep my application around. Good luck with the game!

As noted in previous posts, this game will not close until Thursday the 18th. Just hope everybody is still around and willing to go with it once the group is chosen.

Still here and still very interested.

I am almost done with my background. The char has changed slightly due to things that came out of the writing process, but only skills/stats. His powers are still the same. Actually, his powers did change *very* slightly to accommodate your request to not use anything from Chapter 2 of Ultimate Power. They were originally set up using the array structure, and now are just a standard power / alternate power set up.

Will let you know when the background is complete, hopefully tonight.

Sweet... well, it should be within the next couple of days... I'll announce the final group here and through PM.

Also, want to thank everybody who changed their sheets due to the Ultimate Power issue. Yes, pain in the butt I know, but thanks again.

Application is now complete, including background and linking his name to the character sheet. He changed just a bit during the writing process, mostly just to give him a really good Disable Device skill - something I overlooked at first. Let me know if anything looks out of whack.

Whoops! I thought that this meant next Thursday (the 18th). Hmm, lemme see if I can get my sheet together over my lunch breaks today and tomorrow.
