Ten years ago, Megapolis was a city ravaged by crime and corruption. That was when the supers started appearing - one by one, over the years, working alone or occasionally in pairs to take down mob bosses and crime lords.

Two years ago, the Emerald Knight and the Raven created The Hero League, a union of Megopolis' superheroes. Over time, more flocked to their banner. Longbow, Starlight, King Cobra . . . just to name a few.

And it is into the world of the now, with a city mostly clean of crime, with its elements of darkness held firmly in check by the heroic powers - that you appear.

And you are no hero.

You are one of a band of supervillains. Why do you work together? What is your goal? Why do you hate the heroes so much? Only you can answer those questions.

And answer them you shall. The next three posts are reserved, but after that it is time for any who wish to become supervillains of the highest order to state their intentions and then discuss with their fellows what roles they would like, their character concepts, and their nefarious evil goals.

The GM will be on call to explain any aspects of the game the players request, and moderate discussion in order to keep the game moving. The character creation process will begin once everything has been settled, and the game proper will start upon the conclusion of Saviors of a Divided Nation.

Note: This game is an Action Chatroom, and will be played in this Action Chat.

Subbed y'all
 
Subbed.
 
In, naturally
 
You know, I think I want to go with the old "WOOOOOORLD DOMINAAATION" gambit, and try and be the guy running the show.

So what's your plan?

I was thinking we could steal a 50,000 caret ruby, a protoid laser, and some ion fuel cells to construct the ultimate superweapon: A time displacement laser! At that point, we could reorganize the world into whatever we wanted it to be!

As for roles, I want to be either the medic or hero-killer.
 
I don't mind doing any role that's not being the medic again, and commanding mooks, if we have any.
 
I could handle being the support guy who buffs teammates & debuffs enemies.
 
I'd like to be either mastermind or dragon.

I'll talk with Sam.

Edit: Sam said I can be mastermind.
 
I'm leaning evil scientist or berzerker myself, let's see where we go with this.
 
Well I was going to edit this into my original post, but I'll put it here to keep up with discussion. The way I see it, there are three things that need to be determined before char work can begin in earnest:

1: Evil Goal. Do we want world domination, crazy money, or just to blow up something REALLY big?
2: Evil Plan. Related to the above. How do we get whatever it is that we wanted? Bribery? Force? Threats? Offers of free cookies?
3: Organisation. What resources do we have to accomplish our goals? Money? Hordes of Minions? Technology? Good Political connections?

Once these are sorted out, we can get started on the exact hierarchy and character roles.
