The Legion of Losers
One exam down. Several more to go. Just got to keep myself as healthy as possible in the meantime. Must not give into The Death that pollutes my lungs and sinuses.
Anyhow, since I'm going to be up here this summer for the sake of being around friends (thus retaining my sanity), I'm making a call out to all my nerd buddies up in here.
Silver Age Sentinels - Tri-Stat - "The Legion of Losers"
120 Character Points. Why so few? Defects. Defects, defects, defects. The rules for character creation are pretty simple:
1. Come up with the weirdest, most esoteric superhero you can.
2. No, that's not strange enough. Try harder.
THE PLOT
You're weird superheroes. No real team would ever hire you, so you go to work for an experimental and highly incompetent branch of national defense: the League of Guardians (LoG).
Your enemy? The impotently sinister Forces of Evil (FoE), a unionized organization of supervillians. Well, a union in theory. No one in their right mind would recognize a union with the stated goal of "World-wide crime and villainy," but they sincerely hope to elect a corrupt Senator sometime soon. Anyhow, you've actually got your work cut out for you; the disgraced, lonely, and ignorant scum that FoE recruits works with the same kind of tenacity and desperation of a man boxing in an alley at two in the morning because he has rent to pay in seven hours. Thankfully, their plans are neither well-coordinated nor of great aspirations.
Red Tape and Owned will probably be of great importance.
ADDITION: The idea for this game came from The Skeleton Crew, a game played by another group. Check out their site for examples of the kinds of characters that they played.
