the Alliance of Liberty City

@BirdboyI've read through it a time or two now and I think he can fit into the universe we're building pretty well. Seems sorta similar to Mr. Freeze, and that's one of my favorite Batman villains, so if you're still wanting in (it took my a little longer to reply, I've been sick over a week now) you can repost your sheet in the Character tab and dive in!

EDIT: In a few of my earlier posts I made mention of a villain group forming in the background. I think it was usually at the ends of a few posts, but the groups essentially made up of former OG Alliance members with a few newer jaded heroes and villains. You could tie Cold to them!

@Birdboy At first glance the CS looks good, I'll give it a better look tomorrow at some point. Been sick all weekend and just now getting my wits about me.

the Alliance of Liberty City

One week later....

The heroes had met at the apartment complex in Bayside that Judah and his uncle had inherited after his mother died. The elevator on the east side of the U shaped building had a secret basement floor under the parking garage on the lower level. After the door closed, Judah pressed a number into the floor buttons; Two, Eight, One, Four. The emergency light clicked on and the small group was on their way to the HQ. It opened to a small underground hallway that lead across the street to the secret HQ Lady Liberty had begun constructing underneath the lots she purchased the year before.

"I know it's a lot asking everyone to just wear ballcaps, sunglasses, and hoodies, but I get that y'all are just keeping yourselves safe." Judah commented as he slipped his mask on and pulled his camo green hoodie down. "Me and my uncle are looking into building another entrance, maybe coming in from the bay..."

"I don't mind not wearing any kind of disguise to make us look less suspicious. My eyes only glow green when I want them to." Painkiller commented lighting his eyes up in the darkened hallway.

The group finally came to another doorway. The same code was punched in as before, just a different type of terminal. The door slid open to reveal what Judah's uncle dubbed the "Freedom Fortress". It was clearly the HQ work-in-progress of Lady Liberty, who had memorabilia adorning the walls of the cave-like area as well as newspaper clippings. A large Statue of Liberty bust was carved into one of the walls with a head around the size of one of the heroes. There were American flags on each side of the giant computer monitors and station, a speedboat type of transportation vehicle that wasn't quite finished, as well as a duplicate of Lady Liberty's costume on a mannequin under glass. There was a handful of weapons confiscated from criminals such as the skull Helmet of the Unliving that once belonged to Doctor Death, the remains from a head of a Nazi robo-human, the water blaster of the Liquidator, as well as one of the winged jetpacks of the Silverwing terrorist group.

"My Uncle Sam calls it the Freedom Fortress. I never realized how much my mom did for the city or the world until I saw some of these newspaper clippings on the walls. Interference... if you wanna take a look at some of the tech I don't know a lot about what I'm looking at. I figured out the password to unlock her computers but I don't know what to do with them once I get them going. I'm not the best with smart phones so this is all foreign land to me..." Judah explained walking by some of the flashier pieces in the HQ. There was a small lounge area, what looked like a personal gym off in a corner of the cave, and the door suddenly sliding open again for a late arrival.

Was it Stampede, the Queen of Gold, or someone else?

Across town school was letting out for the day. Everything was sunshine and rainbows after an afternoon rain shower until the twisted brute that was once called Kid Cosmo (of the Amazings!) showed up out of nowhere causing chaos. Just outside of a government office building no less, the orange skinned four-armed behemoth started throwing cars and just generally being a monster to be feared. Everyone else might have feared the twisted alien hero, except for the hero that answered the call.

Don't be scared LOL, we're a friendly bunch! Already got one potential new player who joined the discord earlier this weekend!

the Alliance of Liberty City

The angel woman had mercy on the enemy in red. All of that trouble, and one dead hero smothered to death in the earth itself, just to go out with a backhand. After the winged heroine had grown noticeably aggravated with the other heroes, Supercop came in with a few armored LCPD officers.

"You guys did good work. That device worked as well as we could've hoped. All of the staff was safe down in the bunker and the only casualty was Fire Fist..." Supercop began saying looking around at the damage.

"What the hell... happened?" Pitbull growled picking himself up and out of the side of an office wall.

"We'll take her from here, ma'am." an armored LCPD officer said to the Queen in Gold as he put restraints on the hands and ankles of the KO'ed enemy.

"She'll get charged with murder, but chances are she won't pass the psyche examination to go to superhuman prison. Her ride arrived with the LCPD." Supercop continued as two more officers entered the room.

"You need us to stick around, Supercop?" Liberty Son asked basically for everyone who survived the experience. King Bee dusted off his yellow jacket. Stampede cleared his throat. And Pitbull finally smelled the urine in his pants.

"You're all deputies except for Bird Girl here. I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, but it doesn't have to be today." Supercop said towards the alien Queen, "The city might need any one of you. So get out there and get after it." he said to the rest of the group.

On the way out of the building the group passed more LCPD officers. Once the group got their wits about them outside they saw Painkiller was talking with EMS workers. They failed to resuscitate Fire Fist once he was out of the ground and his body was under a sheet still. There were reporters trying to get close and before the group split apart Stampede spoke up.

"So does anybody wanna exchange numbers?" he asked.

"I'm actually trying to put a team together..." Liberty Son commented before King Bee chimed in.

"Yeah I'm too old for that super-team bull****." Bee stated flying off with the help of his bee themed jetpack.

"I can contribute some time each week if you guys need a healer on hand..." Painkiller said coming into the group after finishing up with the EMS workers.

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

I intended for them to be another villain if there is a slot for it, if not i can make a hero too

@TimelessParagon

I can make a slot for another Wildcard character. After we had a few dropouts its no big deal. The archetypes were mostly so we didn't have any two characters too similar in powers and abilities/ MO. Could make it a Wildcard slot or maybe 'Undead Villain'. Whichever you think works best.

the Alliance of Liberty City

saw the thread in Interest check so might aswell throw in a sheet
Got an idea so far for basically Dracula,

With stuff like familiar creation/control, shapeshifting, hellfire manipulation, vampiric strenght and such.
Also with classic vampire weaknesses like crosses and stuff
@Omega Man

Albeit i am debating on what archetype he might fit into

@TimelessParagon

If it's a hero you could make them either Vigilante or Wildcard. If I need to make a Wildcard 2 slot for the villains I can. Try not to make a super OP vampire though, at least in terms of powersets. Mostly the bigger ones. Strength, speed, etc. is all basic and fine but the other stuff you'd need to just pick one or two. Shapeshifting, hypnosis, animal control, flying, paralyzing bites, claws, fire manipulation and generation... it's sort of all over the place.

the Alliance of Liberty City iCheck

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.

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.

_________________________________________________________________

We lost a couple players the last couple months so we're looking for a few good people!! 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. Originally in the comics the Hulk only joined the Avengers long enough to take down Loki. When looking at the building blocks of a more connected universe I look to movies and comic story lines like James Gunn's Superman, Civil War, the Avengers, Justice League War [the animated retelling of the new52 JL origin], Hulk vs. the Thing, Underworld Unleashed, etc. There are a lot of teams and concepts involved, but not everyone's characters will be team players or want to be. And I get that. There will always be the option to have a 'Wildcard' which is exactly what it sounds like. Can be anything and not even based on an existing archetype. Maybe you wanna create something of an amalgam of Hawkman and the Punisher and toss into the game as a vigilante w/superpowers? That can still happen.

Available Archetypes and Examples:

Vigilante [Punisher, Daredevil, Cloak & Dagger]
Brute [Hulk, She Hulk, Luke Cage]
Cosmic Hero [Nova, Quasar, Darkhawk, Starlord]
Alien 1 [Groot, Lilandra, Starfox]
Wildcard 1 [Namor, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Wolverine]

And yeah, we could use another villain or two as well!

Evil Genius [Justin Hammer, Norman Osborn, Dr. Octopus]
Brute Villain [Wendigo, Abomination, Red Hulk]
Alien 2 [Psycho Man, Ronan the Accuser, Terrax]

REMEMBER!!! Characters don't have to be note for note knock-offs of existing characters. My Liberty Son is about as different from Capt. America as he can be. My guy is patriotic and has a weapon, that's about where the similarities end.

We're currently wrapping up a chapter so it's a good jumping on point for any new players. I've got more time to RP than usual this next week so I should be quick to respond to anyone with questions or ideas they need help fleshing out. So far we've got a solid cast of six with two players using villains and keeping things interesting. Come check us out!!

the Alliance of Liberty City

Collab w/@Crimson Flame and @BunniesOfDoom

The devices were activated. A pulse had been emitted within the walls of the building. And for everyone with internal superhuman abilities came a stirring of the senses and a bit of confusion. The Son of Liberty's powers all came from technology, so he wasn't affected by the field. Stampede's abilities came from a mystic artifact, same as Spellbound. They were both unaffected. And King Bee's powers also came from tech. The Queen of Gold was secretly an alien, so the devices were unable to do to her what they had done to the humans in the building with powers. The chaos bringer and Pitbull were really the only superhumans the power dampeners even touched! At the slightest hint of dizziness Pitbull ran through a wall and knocked himself unconscious, urinating on himself afterwards.

Eris wasn't sure what to think about the situation she found herself in. On one hand, she finally had the angel's attention and she was actively flirting with her. One the other hand, the magic user just blasted lightning between the two of them. She could hear footsteps making their way through the halls and nearby stairwell and her heart jumped a beat. She needed to get out of this mess before things spiraled out of her control.

"Spellbound, you ok brother?" Liberty Son asked as he and King Bee came through the room entrance behind the larger armored Stampede.

“Uh… yeah!” Eli said quickly even though his voice cracked. “Totally fine… Well, maybe not totally fine. I’m in a room with a chaos sorceress, and I may have interrupted some kind of hero-villain flirty thing? But… uh… magic still works! So that’s good.” He grinned nervously. “So, what’s the plan? Tell me it’s not ‘hit her until she falls down.’”

The chaos-bringer's power flared below her feet, the floor of the room liquifying as she began to step into it. Then the world went haywire. As the device pulsed through the building, she felt like her body was being ripped into two. The liquified floor fell away, leaving a gaping hole as it splashed down on the floor below. Eris' hands snapped to her head, clenching it tightly as she screamed. She stepped back, wobbled on the edge of the hole then fell through to the floor below.

"Nothing's ever easy in Liberty City..." Liberty Son thought to himself as he tried to get his wits about him. "Stampede, you wanna make that hole a little bigger?" he then said out loud.

Stampede took a short jog and cannonballed through the hole, making it easier for everyone to get through. He eyeballed the young girl in red, who was now a few feet away, from under the rim of his mystical helmet.

"You're not getting away that easy." the larger brute of a hero stated.

the Alliance of Liberty City

Supercop was getting worried. The devices weren't all in place and he was beginning to think he'd have to leave the civilians underground and go back up top. What he didn't know was that the facility's attacker was already within it's walls.

"C'mon, guys. What in the hell is taking so long?" he muttered under his breath looking at the control to activate the power dampening field on his robotic gauntlet.

Meanwhile, outside the remaining heroes were left with confusion. One minute the angelic heroine was going after the chaotic woman in red in the air, before the attacker liquified the roof momentarily while also abducting the kid with the hero permit. Judah had JUST leapt to the ground from the roof thinking Spellbound would be right behind him. It was obvious where the action was headed, with the angel like hero crashing and burning through the academy office building to find the villain. Painkiller worked to get Pitbull out of the ground along with King Bee while Stampede was just dumbfounded as to what exactly was going on.

"Supercop had us setting up devices to dampen superhuman powers. When those are activated only heroes using tech like me and King Bee won't be effected." Liberty Son stated to the group as Pitbull dusted himself off with a growl.

"That ain't stopping ME, junior." Pitbull stated, ready to go.

"Me either." Stampede replied.

"If Supercop's got a power draining device about to activate, I'm going to stick around outside in case anybody needs emergency care. I can't mend bones and punctured organs if I'm powerless." Painkiller stated.

"Understandable. King, you ready to rock?" the Son of Liberty asked the shrinking and flying superhero.

Before the black and yellow clad hero could respond, Pitbull got tired of strategizing and talking. With a "BARK BARK!" he ran through the front entrance like DMX was already playing in the background.

"Damnit, there goes going in with any sort of plan. There's a stairwell on each side of the building. I'll follow Pitbull on the east side, you two go up on the west. Remember when the device gets activated, powers might get drained. Hopefully it doesn't screw with tech too..." Judah said on the spot as the three men entered the academy.

Down below the Academy, Supercop and the civilian employees waited in the bunker. It was a super simple bunker. There were seating areas, a few pillows, fewer blankets, and a glorified port-o-potty type of room off to one side. There was an area to look at security camera feed but Supercop was having trouble because several cameras had been damaged.

"Three of the devices have been placed, where'd the girl in white run off to with the fourth?" Supercop asked himself.
