Alright, at the request of another thread here is a thread design to explain the story of the U.S.S. and it's members up to this point. There are alot of fresh faces and because we all haven't been able to rp together, this thread will provide a summary up to this point. Because everyone doesn't post too much like they should, I'll post what I know about everyone's character and they can feel free to correct me, considering that most of the tales I know already..it shouldn't be too far off.
Special Note: I also may reveal some spoilers because some of you look like you are having a hard time adjusting to a story that is ever changing...You may not know all the answers..that's how it's suppose to work. But I'll reveal a few cause I Like to...
Note: This thread will also be a general synopsis of things and how new people have been 'strangely' introduced..
Note #2: It's early in the morning for me and I'm too lazy to go back and find character colors..so you have to deal with my trademark red text...
U.S.S. - A mysterious strike force team, put together by a wealthy mysterious benefactor. The team is suppose to have a Silver Age feel for it's characters with Modern Age problems. They struggle to deal with their rise to fame and the supposed 'reward' awarded to them at the end of this Quest sponsered by a man calling himself Mr. Z. The original concept was a team designed for 8, but has they grew Mr. Z expanded them. He sent out special invitations to those he saw fit to fill out his team. (Magic number is 24)
Mr. Z - A wealthy businessman, his true location is not known. He is believed to be either an injured or retired hero that can no longer take up the mantle himself. He designed a group to carryout his tasks for him, no matter how extreme or dangerous they maybe. Some of the characters don't trust him, because his ways are mysterious and his actions are that more crictial to interupt. They hardly know anything about him, other than he has strong connections within the City of Paragon and perhaps the rest of the world, and he has some pretty powerful friends as well. (I.E. Sebastian Kain - President SK).
His current role is that he is out of the country on imediated business. Yet his control over the team is still persistant, because of the new members that he has acquired in his absence. He has established a liason for the team and she is every bit mysterious has he is. Apparently before he left, one of the heroes and leader on the team he had so highly valued had a unrecorded disagreement with Mr. Z and decided to quit the team unexpectedly. Whether this was a ploy by Z or the character really was quitting because of the arrival of 'another' well that remains to be scene, because only one side of the story has been told. (Captain Omniburner's Side)
What he isn't telling you? (spoilers highlight to read): Z has a stronger connection with several members of the team that what has been originally stated. He may just be one of the members of the team itself, maybe right now or maybe later down the road. He has a deep history with Captain Omniburner and Vanessa Thompson. Whatever they have may told, isn't exactly everything that needs to be said. Some truth and some false. All three could be a deadly trio towards the team, so the trust factor that they always talk about is truly Important, I don't **** when I talk about that all the time. The relationship between Z/Vanessa/Omni can be traced back to the time Jonas was an active fireman. And there is a strong reason why Vanessa was pretending to be a sunday school teacher when she was married to him..
Sebastain Kain also has a deep history with the trio as well..
Vanessa Thompson-Barclay - She is a USA CIA agent that is 33 years old. She married Captain Omniburner when she was 18. Captain Omni was 25 at the time. She is of Jamacian decent and is a very attractive woman. Vanessa and Omni had a son together and his role will be strengthen down the road. Something happened that caused her and Omniburner to divorce.
What she has told you is that she divorced him because of his anger mangement issues. Its the same thing Omni has told, but he failed to mention that she told him she was an uncover government agent prior to their split. After Omniburner was seriously injured while saving Vanessa and their son, from their burning home, it was Vanessa who contacted some acquintances that were able to use limited released technology to repair Omni's damaged arms with cybernetics and nanotechs. He has her to thank for his 'gift.'
What She isn't telling - There is a reason why Omniburner is saying that she can't be trusted, its because she cannot. If history has shown you anything, she lied about being an government operative to him for years. This destroyed their marriage, as well as the cause of their home being burned down and Omni being injured, was never fully told either. Something she could have done or been involved with something that was an apparent cover up. The contacts that she used to get Omni his new arms was Mr. Z and Sebastian Kain. The real reason why Ominburner walked out, was because she was coming to Paragon. She knows this and He knows this too. Another reason she is here, is to track down a rogue Government operative..or so she says. She will eventually tell you that this operative is stationed in the Rogue Island of Paragon...
Captain Omniburner (Jonas Barclay III) - The rugged established and established leader of the United Sanction Society field squad is of german decent. He has a arrogant attitude and can be extremely emotional and physical when it comes to it. When he first got to Paragon, he was very disrepectful to Silver Succubus and anyone else that got in his way. He had an imediate trust and connection with Z long before the rest of the team could ever get siuated. He was the first and true leader of the team and he did a great job. He was a former fireman in New York City before his arms were injured in the fire in his home. His marriage to Vanessa was always a strenous one, he battled acholoism and depression when they were married. She was shy and respectful to him and pretty much did everything he ever asked her to do. This perhaps drove him to the point of wanting something else, he would often get drunk and cheat on her with other women. Yet she still stuck by his side, until after the fire incident. She truly did love him, at one point...
During an argument with Z about the apparent arrival of Vanessa, Omniburner walked out on the team and Mr. Z. He wanted nothing to do with her, he considered her a liar and a manuiplative. He had already confessed his secrets of adultery long to her before she ever told him that she was/is a secretive Government agent. He realized this after his arms were restored with super strength and the ability to control fire with his 'hot blooded' emotions. (The angerier her gets the stronger he becomes fire/strength.)
What he told you - He left the team to explore the hollows more. He wanted to establish an outpost there and make habital for normal people, instead of a war torn zone. He added Sam Wincott in his efforts, but he still had strong ties with the team and often aided them on their missions anyway. They dubbed him "Captain Quitter" because of his actions, eventhough most had respected them.
Upon his return to the team, his persona seem to have changed. He was no longer the hotheaded arrogant asshole that he came out to be at first, he seemed humble and more spritual than before. Even was on discussion terms with Vanessa, eventhough she was his new boss for the moment. He aided were ever he could during the TF of Synapse and even succubed to letting Silver Succubus lead the field team. He had a few times of clashing heads with the team, cause some didn't want him back, but they worked through it. He just had to let it go..
His relationship with Anglican Avenger also blossomed and matured, because she was still the one that trusted him and respected him the most.
Firecast was deeply affected by his departure, they sortof have a father/son or brother/older brother relationship. His leadership keeps Firecasts enthuasim to burn things under control. He is the one that Firecast trusts the most, even with him leaving the team for other goals..
What he isn't telling you - Everything is still connected for a reason. Omni didn't just have a fight with Z and decided to go to the Hollows on his own, he was doing Z a favor. There was someone in the Hollows that Z wanted monitored for their saftey. It will be revealed that there is a little girl in the hollows that Omni took care of, he had no choice..it's apart of a contract that he has with Z. A legal binding contract that could prove fatal for someone, if he breaks. If I may be so blunt with it, Z has his balls by a string that is very short, period. Reasons why he came back, whether or not he's working with Z and Vanessa or they are against him..is unknown.
He has had several conversations on the on with the other members of the team, and he has told them different stories. From Z to Vanessa to himself, what is the thing that has remained true is that the team shouldn't have total faith in all three. Omniburner and Vanessa both have met Z or a man they believe to be Z. Like the team, it still can be understood that the 'real' Mr. Z has yet to show his face. Z is a master of the deguise and can be one of several people. That's something he hasn't told you....
These are just a few things that can be said about the trio of characters I play currently on the team..I'll make some more posts about others characters in a bit..
Special Note: I also may reveal some spoilers because some of you look like you are having a hard time adjusting to a story that is ever changing...You may not know all the answers..that's how it's suppose to work. But I'll reveal a few cause I Like to...
