I will note now, again because several people have made this mistake, that your first hero cannot be the leader of your organization. Your personal character, the organization leader, is a retired super and your first Hero/Villain is their student/lieutenant/whatever.
EDIT: And a reminder that all Heroes/Villains must have at least 1 in every stat. Two or three people have sent Heroes/Villains with 0s in certain categories, so edit to your satisfaction and resend.

Alas... Vinsin Vancore, the leader of the Gethic Hand, is not a retired super but rather is the (normal) middle aged head of the authoriterian group. His desires to become dictator of a super state are however aided by his strategic ability.
Expect his villains to be his personel commanders and agents.
Basically imagine if Mussolini was a Bond villain...

And firearms do affect stats? Or just act like modifiers for certain roles such as close/medium/long range?
So do we get our stats via PM, or are we waiting for a first turn update?

@AA - That's one of the words I've never been able to spell right.
@Sonereal - Firearms and other such gadgets give unspecified CN bonuses to their wielders, and if ranged weapons are used at appropriate distances they give Ranged Weapon(read: Aim) bonuses.
@EQandCivfanatic - I'm assembling a joint spreadsheet at the moment. I'll probably PM everyone their stats at game start to show them what they've got, and again if they ever request it, but I'll expect people to at least generally keep track of their own stuff.
Signups are looking good. Anyone who's sent me a PM so far, you're on the spreadsheet and listed. Looking at an official game start Saturday or Sunday.

I'm so happy to discover that I'm not the only one who's wasted too much time on tvtropes. More hours than I'd care to admit.

TvTropes...
The observation of TvTropes... discovers the great issues of it.
Something Awful had a field day. Warning: language.

Yes, tvtropes and responding to complainers who ask about our hard work on Elder Kings takes up a lot of time from an average lifespan I'd say.

British Secret Service Report on Tony Bryson AKA Director Vinsin Vancore of the Gethic Hand
Born Tony Bryson in Perth, he moved with his parents to London when he was 4 for his parents’ taking into business. His was known as a child to be very bossy, ordering kids to take others lunch money. At age 14 he won the Junior Speaking Competition but the medal was taken off him when it was found that he had bribed one the judges with fake money. His parents decided to throw him into a military academy in hope of disciplining him. Unfortunately discipline he did receive… to order others about with even more stricter sense, as the school decided to place him in a junior officer course. He would then go to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst to develop further his skills. He was noted by fellow military students for his power abuse, his paranoia, his determination, his hard work and his cunning. However he would not complete: he got kicked out for delving into his first case of weapons smuggling, selling military grade weapons to teenage criminal gangs. He was spared jail in return for a spying job to spy on an attempted weapons smuggling ring of the Real IRA. It was hoped he would reform and an agent was set to make him a better citizen, even offering him in return political speech classes in return for good behavior. However Bryson decided not to do weapon smuggling but training classes for would be Real IRA insurgents, teaching them academy grade squad tactics and on frontier doctrines being considered by scholars. He even his speech lessons to help chair Real IRA meetings. When the agent found out eventually Bryson had managed to get a ticket to Brazil before the Northern Irish authorities could arrest him. He had been age 23.
The life of Bryson for the next years remain unclear but he moved around the world serving as a officer trainer for hire for different groups around the world, from Afganistan insurgent to Somali an terrorist to Columbian drug cartels to even Scottish bankers… through the latter’s Hong Kong branch of course. This all altered though when he reached 27 and became a henchmen for an international military cell known as Dread Bulk. Having renamed himself as Vinsin Vancore as his alias, he came close to Dread Bulk’s leader Nicolas Morn. Morn decided to make Vancore his second-in-command. Vancore payed in kind by arranging Morn’s “boating accident.” Becoming its chief Vancore decided to give Dread Bulk a rebranding, changing its name to the Gethic Hand, ordering a new uniform for all the members. He arranged for a new HQ (which he named Vinsier) and setting the aim of the organisation from “help those who hire us” to “create the Protectorate of the Gethic Hand… hopefully involving being a dominant power in the world.” He decides to target the USA first: if he succeeds he will have a stepping stone to create a new hegemonic order.
