In the 90's the premiere superheroes were the Alliance. Sanctioned and funded by the United Nations the team was comprised of a humanoid cat-man from England named Leopold, a giant of a man called Megaplex, the armored Lady Liberty, as well as others. The times though... they're always changing. The Alliance had fallen apart in recent years. Constantly rotating new heroes in and out of the group, scandal with foreign organizations, and corruption when it came to the oversight from the UN eventually lead to the dissolution of the group. And then Lady Liberty was found dead due to mysterious circumstances while in her civilian identity.

After grieving for several days over his mother's passing, the Son of Liberty vowed to solve her murder. After finding a new prototype Torch weapon his mother had been developing, he reached out to several heroes affiliated with the Alliance but never got any kind of word back. He'd have to make a new Alliance. And it would have to be locally since he didn't have the same resources as his mother. Her death occurred in Liberty City, so the investigation would start there regardless of what the team turned into. Becoming a hometown hero was definitely not on Liberty Son's bingo card this summer.

Liberty City is a city of adventure and intrigue on the Atlantic Coast of North Carolina. It's design is reminiscent of a compacted NYC, however instead of five boroughs it only has four. It is home to several superhuman individuals and is formerly the home of the super-team the Amazings, as well as the recently deceased Lady Liberty.

* Liberty City is taken from the GTA series and has been slightly altered here and there for this RP.

* Rather than a Liberty statue with a coffee in her hand, the statue will resemble the male Colossus of Rhodes.

* Like Marvel's NYC, Liberty City will have several superheroes and villains operating there regularly that often interact with each other.

* The Amazings were an off-shoot of the Fantastic Four. They operated in the city from 2009 - 2022. Mister Amazing, Amazing Jane, Judy Juggernaut, Firecracker, and Kid Cosmo made up the team.

The general idea is to build a universe similar to how Invincible is mostly inspired by DC, we're just gonna loosely base this universe on Marvel. The RP will include heroic crossovers, fights between heroes, and team-ups leading into the eventual founding of a super team (the New Alliance) within the game. Now, that isn't saying you HAVE to join the super team. This is very much a sandbox styled RP just with a good bit of connective tissue since we're all in the same city.

GM Notes 6/1/25 - Changed the name of the RP based on a vote in our Discord server!!! Still looking for a hero or two!

I'm thinking about removing "The Lads" from Abby's background, and perhaps introducing them later.

Might have to take inspiration from that X-Files episode you mentioned and have Stalker just happen to be a bystanders in one of said situations. Breach the surface, wander into a building, immediately get caught up in a hostage situation. A lovely welcome to earth

Like what we generally do when it's a bunch of heroes (making enemies show up) I'm gonna also create a hero or two for the villains to kick the crap out of when they need a Johnny on the Spot... Lol

I am more than happy to let Eris be the main cause of chaos for the heroes to go out and fight in the first few posts. Maybe a peaceful gathering turned into a mob in the streets. A football game turned riot. It's whatever yall wanna do.

No better way to assemble a team quickly than some high-profile villain crime to stamp out 😎

I HIGHLY recommend that episode. Literally stuck with me all of these years after seeing it. I can't remember what the bug creature did to make everyone see it as human, but it was wild. Here's the wiki write-up link....

@DracoLunaris How does stalker show up on cameras?


excellent question. uhhh

Either she shows up exactly like how she does in person, as in it is based on perception (and we hand wave or even lean into how that makes no sense), or the footage gets corrupted because human tech just can't handle Tirmin tech. Either way things get even more eldritch this way which is fun.

Given that your the one who's char is going to see her through em first, what do you think would be more interesting? I'm also generally up for cool ideas here if anyone has em

Sorry, I hit post before I was done. So I hope this doesn't come off sounding like I am intentionally having my character "counter" your character in some way, but because I assume illusion magic exists in this world, my character's mask was going to allow her to see with her eyes as well as provide her with a camera feed of what she's looking at in an attempt to circumvent potential illusions (Eileen is a super genius and is full of potential contingencies). That said, I think corrupted data not only makes slightly more sense, it also gives my character a hint without fully revealing your character's secret. This would also answer the question of what if a machine intelligence or robot was looking at Stalker.

Also, I am in no way trying to force it one way or the other and will RP in such a way as would respect Stalker's mysteriousness and general unknowability.

Should have the IC up and running sometime tonight after I get in from work. I don't like rushing it and then an opener be lackluster, my daughter's just been sick since Wednesday and she's a daddy's girl. Thanks again for everybody getting in on this!

I was kinda out of it y day so sorry bout the delay. I think you might be overestimating how cool-ly I can portray a character, but I'll do my best to live up to the hype. Data corruption works, it adds a layer of alienness and has as many downsides, if not more, than upsides imo

Sorry, not to keep layering you with "applying physics to sci-fantasy", but how would Stalker 'appear' under sonar/echolocation?
