Team of the Month: The Corporation

The Corporation
The Corporation

The goals of the Corporation have changed. Since the disappearance of John Sebastian, their founder, the Corporation have mainly focused on surviving life in the Isles and defending against the constant aggressive moves by the Arachnos forces in the area. The Corporation is a crime syndicate. Robbery, extortion and theft produces most of their income but they also run a number of illegal operations around the Isles with smuggling being the most lucrative one. On occasion, they also take on contract assignments such as specialized theft and assassinations. After the attack on the Mutant population the Corporation have taken a great interest in their survival; seeking to help them out knowing that they will make strong allies if Recluse, who barely tolerates the Corporation's existence, should ever wage war...

Hero of the Month: Warscythe

Herald of the Four
Herald of the Four

Warscythe fights for those who cannot fight for themselves. That is the code of conduct that is deeply ingrained within him, it even supercedes the indoctrination process that he underwent when becoming Warscythe. His main role when entering this realm was not as benevolant as some may think. He is a reserved man of few words who often uses a very archaic form of language, very formal and polite. However when in battle it is a different story. If what is left of his face wasn't eternally covered by his wargear, he would be seen to be smiling, as he simply feels alive when in combat. Warscythe has been biologically enhanced and augmented beyond a normal human capacity, he is still essentially, or was at least, a man, but his height, build and terrifying ability to take extreme levels of punishment sets him apart from normal men, able to switch of his pain receptors he can go past a mans normal pain barrier and carry on in combat beyond the level where even the toughest of men would yield. Warscythe is an exceptional swordsman, his skills seem to have a multitude of styles, able to switch at random he tends to confound opponents facing him in one on one situations. His prized blade "Zweihänder" a sword with remarkable properties, able to reconstruct itself at a molecular level to represent any type of blade the user wishes, with an unrivaled keen edge and outstanding durability, its metallurgy and origins are of great fascination to some ...Warsythe has been quoted as thus "My blade was borne from the..."

Villain of the Month: Tomb

What? Not my fault!
What? Not my fault!

Tomb is the praetorian version of Twilighter. Tomb is not an actual person and thus her personality is rather skewed, created by the mind of a terrified little girl, to be strong enough to survive in the Praetorian world. She is less developed than a full person. The 'Tomb' persona lacks compassion because Sarah saw that as a weakness. Unrelentingly cruel, Tomb hurts people without rhyme or reason, merely reveling in the pain of others. Sarah is a nice enough girl, a little shy around people she doesn't know, loving of her 'sister', a little on the naive side. Gamma is essentially neutral. Good or evil, pain or pleasure, neither matters to the machine soul known as Gamma, who worked for Tomb and now observes through Sarah, experiencing the world through her eyes. Junkies and thugs loyal to here only though the chains of their own addictions make up most of Tombs power base. Originally they would not be much use but through the use age of combat drugs and meta human steroids they are more impressive than they look. Using various chemicals and technological gadgets Tomb is able to keep those around her fighting for longer and more ferociously than should be possible. Her enhanced physiology allows her to recover from wounds and exhaustion quicker than should be possible for a child or even a grown woman. An anti-gravity pack allows Tomb to travel in great leaps. The artificial intelligence built into her body activates in combat situations allowing her to process the battle quicker. In turn this allows her to assist her team mates to be more effective in a fight. After impressing Captain Mako with the ferocity with which she accomplished several missions for Arachnos he gave her access to Frenzy Mutagen. When used it causes her to form expressions of her hatred for the world as negative energy constructs, usually ferocious beasts that seek to... (More)

Story of the Month: Supremacy

"Purity through Sacrifice!"
"Purity through Sacrifice!"

"The purpose of Humanity First is to stamp out the superpowered menace by any means possible. In order to do this members must seek out like minded individuals free from the taint of genetic alteration, mutation, or other abberations of the human form. Humanity First welcomes all true humans with the courage,and determination to fight in this war, be they gadgeteers, wielders of great technology or just the best at what they do. As we are fighting a dirty war we will be no doubt be called outlaws, murderers and terrorists. We will be sometimes forced to engage in criminal activity or associate with all manner of filth, both genetic and moral. Innocents will perish, some by our hand, but sacrifices must be made. Also it will be important to raise funds ,and make examples through what many will consider distasteful means. For now we will be the villains but one day the wind will change, and the rest of humanity will see the real danger the supers pose. Then we will be vindicated, then we will be called upon to defend humanity, and then we will forever be revered as true heroes!"

In a press conference called by the hero Britanic, he announced the newly reformed Militia’s intention to clean up Kings Row, where the super team is now based. However this clean up doesn’t just refer to the high levels of crime that has historically plagued the Row, but rather physically helping to restore some of the Row’s most neglected, and downtrodden areas. The first of the projects planned in the Militia’s “Cleaning Up Our Community” initiative is the dilapidated Jimmy Carter Baseball Park. The Jimmy Carter field hasn’t been in use since before the first Rikti Invasion, and is currently an overgrown mess of brambles, weeds, and junk from years of fly-tipping. The park’s bleachers are in a dangerous state of repair, and the outbuildings are all currently condemned. Though the park will need extensive restoration , the benefit to the community will be immense. In Britanic’s own words, “Restoring the Jimmy Carter Baseball Park isn’t just about giving our children somewhere safe to play, its about restoring hope to a community. Its about showing that no matter how bad things get, through hard graft, and teamwork things can always be put right again”...(More)
