I'm working on putting it up right now, I'm just also working on my (massive) reply to the thread. I'll have yours in before the days out.
Sounds like a neat idea, I anticipate reading it.
Cool, I look forward to reading it. I'll probably post after you're done.
Ok, I'm about to start things up with a nice lofty speech followed by a little action. Basically what's going to happen is a small incident in the city, and Zenith wants volunteers to deal with it. Just a small-scale supervillain encounter to get your character's feet wet. If you don't want to go for that, (and there'll only be six or seven characters doing that at most) you can just continue hanging out at the party after the speech for a little bit before I unveil my surprise for you guys ;)

Wonder Woman raised her eyebrow at the Green Lantern. She showed an amazing lack of decorum that would have been appropriate to her position as a Green Lantern. It was times like this that made Diana wonder where Hal and John were. Kyle was professional despite his age and Simon was earnest at least. Hopefully this new Lantern didn't turn out like Gardner. As it was however, Diana didn't hold her breath.
When Lane came to take custody of the machine, Wonder Woman had to keep the grimace from materializing on her face. Lane was a soldier of his country but his obstructionism often complicated the situation for no good reason. She wished she had Clark's faith in the American government. Then again Diana had little faith in any government of Man's world. No doubt Bruce would find a way to obtain what the League needed however.
Seeing the situation was resolved Diana tapped her communicator, "The machine has been destroyed, but it seems our friends in the Government have taken control of the wreckage. We've done all we can here. Ready for transport, J'onn." A flash of light and Wonder Woman was back in the Watchtower. She smiled at J'onn and Mister Terrific, who arrived to help fill in with Monitor duty.
The hero who Diana hadn't recognized, the shapeshifter, suddenly turned into a horn. He certainly got her attention. Wonder Woman raised her eyebrow at J'onn. He simply said, "Shifter, a new recruit. He's quite... eager." Diana smiled, "Indeed." Wonder Woman walked over to Shifter and said, "We don't often celebrate after a mission like that. After spending enough time on the League those kinds of battles start becoming routine. I'm Princess Diana of Themyscira. What is your name?"

It's all good. St. Michael is accepted. Although the name is the League of Heroes, I'm trying to do a minimal rip-off :P
And I'm back.
Wow, things have moved along. Time for a reading binge.

Yog, your CS is coming along nicely. You just need to finish your bio, with relation to his powers and becoming a hero then you'll be golden.
Molach, your sheet is also developing well. Just round out all the fields and you should be good.
Heathen, very nice. Warp is accepted.
Arty, sheet is good. Just take out the part about the UK splitting up. There's a lot of tension around the world but geo-politics haven't changed drastically (yet) But Rolling Girl is accepted.

Ok and I posted the intro. You can basically just hang out and have some character time for a few days. Then we get on our first mission. Everyone who is still making a CS is free to continue working, and when you're accepted after I get back you can jump right in.
Don't burn down the thread while I'm gone.
Don't burn down the thread while I'm gone.
December 21st, 2017. Exactly five years after the Awakening. Five years after every man, woman, and child had been thrust into complete darkness for five seconds. Fives year after every electronic device on Earth suffered catastrophic malfunctions. Five years after spontaneous storms and earthquakes ravaged the world. Five years after mass starvation, plague, and chaos ran amok.
Five years after the Heroes arrived. Five years after Zenith took to the skies and thousands of men and women were given powers beyond comprehension. The secret magical world that had been lingering under Humanity's notice for hundreds of years has been revealed. The previously unbreakable laws of science have been bent.
Never before has humanity had so much hope. Never before have they been so inspired. Never before have their dreams of heroism and justice been so close to being realized. For now they know that magic is real. Now they know that men can fly. Now they know that not all is lost, and that Humanity has a chance to save itself from greed, corruption, sickness, poverty, ignorance, prejudice, and hate.
But the fate of the Earth balances on a knife's edge. Even as men and women use their powers and abilities to protect Humanity, others seek to exploit their powers for their own dark ends. Criminals wield lightning, fire, and weapons more terrible than mere firearms. Extremists no longer need explosives to spread terror in the name of their cause. Organized religion has been rocked to it's core, as adherents reevaluate their core beliefs. Supernatural creatures pursue dark agendas in the night. Entire nations are broiling in civil unrest. Never has Humanity been in so much danger.
The fate of the world will be decided by the League of Heroes and its actions. All the hopes and dreams of the world rest on the shoulders of mortal men and women. They will either fail and bring forth a Dark Age too terrible to comprehend or they will unite, put aside their differences and become true Heroes.

The Hall of Heroes
Steven Knight, the man known to all the world as Zenith, stood inside the Hall watching the crowd massing outside.
"There's a lot more than I thought there'd be."
Eric Freeman, the mysterious and even mythical vigilante Pariah stood next to him, "We've invited almost every Hero in the nation. And the rest showed up anyway. Perhaps part of it had to do with you being the one to send the message."
"You never know. It could be the free food," quipped Ariadne Cristos, the heroine and demi-god known as Olympia. The three of America's mightiest heroes watched as metahumans, supernatural beings, and even a few exceptional normal humans crowded in the pavilion. Large and seemingly endless tables of food had been laid out and peaceful music drifted over the scene, amplified by the Audiokinetic Metahuman Sonata. The air was kept to a comfortable temperature with pleasant breezes by Nimbus. And Evergreen's flowers bordered the pavilion and perfumed the air with their fragrance. The League wanted their debut to be absolutely perfect.
"I do have some reservations about some of the members." Pariah had his face covered as always, but Zenith didn't need his x-ray vision to see the scowl on Pariah's face.
"You wouldn't be you otherwise," Zenith smiled in an attempt to lighten Pariah's mood. It didn't work.
"We have some 'reformed' villains here today, with quite a few strays from abroad. A lot of these heroes are untested and have been almost strictly street-level until now. And almost all of them are unstable. We haven't worked with a quarter of them. This is to be our League? A bunch of misfits and outsiders? They'll get killed in a few days of active duty. If they don't do it themselves."
Zenith nodded solemnly, "That may be true. But they are what we have to work with. If they can't do it, then no one can. Besides, that's why you're one of the Instructors."
Pariah grunted, "I'll still have to keep my eye on some of them."
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Olympia spoke up, "When are you going to make your big speech anyway, Steven? You need to inspire the troops and all that."
"In a little bit. But first, let's get a look at how they deal with each-other."
The three heroes fell silent and went back to observing the heroes who would be Earth's best hope of survival. Hopefully they'd make a good first impression.

Well if you wish you could have Warp be one of Zenith's occasional partners. And perhaps Pariah. I'm trying to imagine how that partnership would work out :P
I'll get cracking on a hopefully long intro post, where the Leaguers all get assembled and you guys can spend the next few days having your characters hob-nobbing before we get really going.
