CTNES: The Hero (or Villian) Within

Welcome to my version of The Hero Within, as this nes was originally done by Conehead, here. I have his permission, so its all good

Background Story​

In the past decade, the world has been through much suffering. Blitzman, after rampaging through Europe had been halted and driven back to Berlin. Europe is in ruins, as the attacks of Germany and Adolf Hitler had crumbled the once great cities of Europe. In Yalta, the great leaders of the world met to decide the future, Truman and Captain America representing the USA, Churchill and Union Jack representing the UK, and Stalin and Comrade Red representing the USSR. This fate would decide the future of the world, as Europe is divided into Spheres of Influence. These heroes returned to their respective countries with glory, for Captain America, Union Jack, and Comrade Red had helped defeat Blitzman and liberate Europe. These heroes were real heroes, superheroes. A new threat looms over the world, as the world is split into 2 camps. Now the true heroes must emerge, will you led your hero and your followers to save the world and bring peace, or will you attempt to take it over? Will you follow the orders of your nation you are loyal to, even though the orders may not be the right thing to do, or will you defy your leaders to try to prevent a nuclear holocaust? The world now needs a hero, will you be one?

Player Heroes​

You can only be the superheroes or villains. You cannot control any nations unless you overthrow the government and take it over, but it will be very difficult as you have to taken the entire army of the nation.

NPC​

All nations and a select couple superheroes or villains that I have plans for.

Organization​

You control a superhero/villain and its organization. Your organization is your hero’s life. It has a secret HQ, which will be secret, so I will PM you the location or you PM me it. If you loose your HQ, you lose everything. Your HQ has to be on earth until I say so, and if you are aligned to a bloc, it has to be in your bloc’s territory or a neutral nation’s territory. No American bases in Russia. You can upgrade your base, but more on that later.

Economy​

There will be no economy levels, but you have funds. These are represented in WC, (world currency). You need funds to do anything but how do you get funds you ask. Well basically anyway that is logical. Every turn you get a certain number of funds added to your stockpile from supporters and stuff, but you can get funds other ways. If you are a good guy, you can get them from rewards, gifts, loans, etc. If you are evil it is more fun, go rob banks, threaten third world countries, sell stuff on the Black Market (more on that later). You need funds for your organization, supplies, your henchmen, missions, and evil plots. At the beginning you will have a normal job, that you will get some money for. Kind of like a secret Identity, but this will only last so long.

Military​

You will not have a military per se, you will have your henchmen which you hire, arm, and train. It costs funds to do this. Your superhero can not do everything alone, you need people to man your base and carry out missions. As time goes on you can get better weapons, vehicles, evil robots, nukes, anything you can think of. Price list is down below.


Your top secret Headquarter, can be located anywhere, just keep it secret because it is everything to you. You can upgrade it with pretty much anything you want, underground bunkers, anti aircraft batteries, missile silos, etc. These all cost funds. But hold your horses, did you think you will get a cool base already? Haha, that’s a good one. Everyone starts out in their basement, you must earn your HQ and respect.

Black market​

There is a black market, controlled by me, if you want to try to purchase something, PM me and I will tell you the price. But be warned, if you order a nuke, you may get bomb casing full of old pinball machine parts. You will not always get what you paid for, but there are many valuable things on the market.

Evil Plots​

So now that you got your base, henchmen and shiny new nuke, what are you going to do evil villain? Hmm, I’ll take over the world. Isn’t that everyone’s goal. So you have this grand scheme in your mind, why you have to plan it. It takes funds and good planning to detonate that nuke under Paris. All schemes have to be planned and take time to pull them off, for training and stuff. How big it is, the longer and more costly it will be. This will be secret, PM me if you want to start to plan a scheme. Minor operations do not need real planning and can be usually pulled off the turn it is ordered, and most require no funds. Mugging people or robbing the local 7-11 cost nothing even robbing the bank costs nothing, anything higher than that will cost something.


So now you ask, how will you stop Mr. Villain from sinking Bermuda into the sea, why you spy of course. This can also be used to find other details about the enemy or even your own friends. Put funds into spying and every turn you will get a PM of info, some may be true, some may be false. But it can be valuable and maybe help you save the world. Villains can do the same thing to the good guys.

Research​

Put funds into research to build to invent your super robot of doom with the lazar beam and a build in microwave to make that popcorn when you are razing Mexico. Kind of self explanatory.

SUPERHERO LEVELS:

Every once in a while I’ll determine you deserve a “level up.” This is based upon things like successful villain plots, or defeating a villain. Something worthy. When you level up you’ll be able to upgrade 3 stats(see below). These are the following levels.

1)Good Neighbor/Neighborhood Prankster
2) Hometown Hero/Villain

8) Danger to yourself and others

SUPERHERO/VILLAIN ABILITIES: (thanks to Warman)

As your superhero begins to fight crime, or start it he/she will gain experience in their actions. As a result they’ll be able to gain many new abilities. You will start with 1 power of your choosing. You may only pick 3 abilities each time you level up out of a total of 24 abilities. As a result you’ll only have 1/2 of the total abilities, limiting yourself to a specialty or a balanced field. There are 6 abilities in 4 different fields each.

Description: Nick Castle was always a gambler. That's why he lived in Vegas after his stint in the war, even though in this day and age it was kind of a crappy and dusty little town. When the mob came to town, he was in heaven at the poker tables and roulette wheels. His luck varied, but one day it got really bad; the mob came to collect. Needless to say, through some luck, he managed to put both Enforcers down permanently. It was here he first discovered his ability to heal himself, having taken quite a beating in the scuffle. Now, as a man wanted by both the police and the Mafia, he finds himself in a tricky spot. The first blow has already been struck, and for Nick "Blackjack" Castle it's time for a private war of his own...

To this end, he has collected a handful of other people down on their luck, of various backgrounds (and hunted by either the police, the mob, or both) to aide him.

The Last Paladin indeed is. Once, he was one of the few upper hierarchs of an ancient secret reactionary Society of Order, but it was eliminated during the 20th century, the last blow having come in the last days of WWII. Only the Last Paladin survived, along with a few novices of the Society who had succesfully hid him from pursuit in Andorra. Now alone, the Paladin had to sit low and lick his wounds while the remnants of the old world that he had sought to preserve were being washed away. Yet the inactivity tired him. One day he and his followers disappeared from Andorra, only to reemerge later in Buenos Aires, where, they felt, the tide of progress, liberalism and socialism could still be stemmed...

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton)

Emperor Norton has an obvious goal; Conquer the United States and Mexico. Being mostly insane everything changed the day he sold his body to science and found himself with his new superpowers. His hobo henchmen will follow him willingly, knowing well that any harm can be healed by the powers of Eris, and someday Norton even hopes to conquer the entire world...

Emperor Norton is a devout follower of Discordianism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism), he claims his powers were given to him by the godess eris to advance the cause of his religion, which he has assumed papal authority of.

His followers are Legionarres of Discordianism, part of the Legion of Dynamic Discord. He even posses an original page 00019 of the Principia Disordica, and quests to retreive all original pages of the holy text.
