Rogue. Scum. Felon. Terror. Blackguard. Sinner. [b]Hero.[/b] [i]In your past, there was nothing that would stand in your way for revenge, for power, for wealth, for anything. You amassed faceless legions, gathered ancient artifacts, made powerful connections, influenced hundreds if not thousands, built your lair and slew thousands more in your unending ambition. But we all know how these stories end up. At the height of your power, on the precipitous of your final victory, a ragtag group of plucky heroes saved the day, destroying your schemes and condemning you to failure. But what if your story didn't end there? Reborn through the power of the Nexus , you were given a new life and a new duty. Reality itself is threatened by a terror so unfathomably ancient and evil, none can stand against it: the Abyss. From the void it reaches out with its own armies beyond counting with great champions to lead them. And at its helm is a vanguard of the worse villains of the multiverse: you.[/i][/indent][/indent][/center] [hr][hr] Welcome to the Redeemer Corps, a group of individuals from across space and time who were "villains" in their past lives before they were cut down by whatever group of young, bold adventurers finally got them. Inspired by Megamind and Suicide Squad, those villains are now brought back to live through the Nexus to fight off the Abyss that seeks to consume everything. The main twist of the RP is that while designing your characters, you are also designing the villain they used to be. While the Nexus was able to bring you back from your bodies, the Abyss was able to bring you back from your soul, leaving two entities of the same being. This also means you are now weaker than the villain form you once were. Of course, this could also have come with a personality shift if you want to play that aspect up. Character creation will first start with you creating your character as a villain (the version the Abyss brought back) and then what they are like post-redemption (the version you will be playing as). [hider=Examples] Edgelord McGee could use blood magic to literally suck the blood out of groups of people at the height of his power. After being reborn into the Redeemer Corps, he might only be able to do it on one person. If Queen Eviltyrant used to be able to command thousands of undead soldiers with magic, she might only be able to control a dozen or so undead. At least at the start. [/hider] I hope to have some interesting character interactions and set pieces as well as looking what kind of characters come up with. I myself will not be making and playing a singular character but instead acting as more of a traditional DnD GM controlling the world and NPCs. If this gets enough traction, I'll throw up a character sheet, rules and other fun stuff. [b]TL;DR[/b] - Suicide Squad meets Megamind villain-turned-hero story. You got brought back to life as a nominal good guy but are weaker than when you were at the height of your power. Also the Abyss that wants to destroy and eat the multiverse also cloned you but at the height of your power. You get to fight a stronger version of yourself!
