This is nothing like the 'man to man' talk I had with my dad

The small crew of the S.S. Righteous Indignation has been forcefully drafted into the military for a specific job.  Not everyone's happy about it, but their investment is on the line.  Diplomacy and danger lurk in the future, especially for a cartoon Tourette's raccoon merchant.

Amid azure seas, there lies a land embraced

by gods and forged by....squires?

In the eastern side of the Palladium Fantasy world, there lies a single citystate, hard pressed to find upon any map.  With great crystals providing limitless energy, and the technology to merge with it, the citystate of Eorzea heralds the theoretical dawn of a new Elven Empire.  Such are the tales of would-be knights in her glorious service.

"It is always the one you least suspect.  Or most suspect.  Its someone, damn it."

 

Esper Force, Japan's top and only superhero team has made a deal with a rather shady figure, trusting him to his word to learn about something deemed 'very important' to the future of Japan.  Confronted with a massive laboratory, it was assured that things were going to get much worse, very quickly.  And so it does....

If the Punisher and the Winter Soldier had a North Korean Baby....and was 50 odd years old, he'd be Jin Sang.Okay that analogy fell flat....

The heroes of Cascade are in a grim situation.  After a haphazard attempt at coordination goes awry, the three are left to their own devices, dealing with weapon-brandishing thugs, and several representatives of major crime syndicates.  56, in particular, has met a foe that he cannot simply club aside, an erudite and dangerous masked figure...

And the package, the package that was being bid on before the attack began, what of it?  What secrets does it hold?  Time will tell.

"..."

The Nightlords' plan to bring forth Dark Day is quite possibly the most chilling, and dangerous event the New Warriors had ever endeavored to stop.  The team considers themselves only 'city protectors', since the Centurions departure, the small group know they need a great deal of assistance to even attempt this resistance.  All the deals, all the back alley negotiations and favors are called in as the team assembles their strike into the core of the Nightlands...

What can I get for a starting bid on one human soul, slightly used?

Jin Song enters the fray, joining Velocity, and 56, into the streets of the city.   The question that lead them was simple enough, "How'd those gang bangers get those automatic weapons?"  The path starts winding deeper into the city's dark corners, and hints at the strange rules that the underworld of Cascade follows...

Jin Song - North Korean Super Soldier seeking his niece 56 - Ex-Yakuza melee expert struggling with his morality Velocity - Super Inventor from Century Station, trying to save his home city

You know...when I woke up this morning,

I did not expect THIS.

In the midst of the wastes of the southern reaches of the Palladium Fantasy world, a literal motley group of thrillseekers and adventurers actually meet, without being in a bar!  Thrown together due to a strange oddity of life, and an interest in protecting the innocent, the small band looks to clear their name together!

Serei - Draenei (reflavored Wolfen) monk, quite possibly the last of her kind, uses drunken boxing Jinzo - Human Samurai, disgraced and exiled after his political marriage destroyed his entire clan line - A Wolfen Familiar Wrangler, with some minor spell ability, and a rather dangerous wolf.

Just sit right there, and I'll tell you a tale, a tale of a faithful FUCKBALLS!

In a world of post-apocalyptic genetic mayhem, animals gained sapience, and sought their way up into civilization.  And one humble crew has come together to see about making some money in the Great Lakes region.  It is a humble crew, looking to explore their part of the world.

 

Gadget - Ship's captain and chief mechanic - Ferret

Wash - Chief of marketing and sales, also has cartoon Tourette's - Raccoon

Trip - Layabout in charge of acquisitions - Fox

Luden - Absolutely not a mechanic, hired on to be Ship's cook - Mouse

Bonnie - Also not the ship's mechanic, hired on as Ship's boatwright - larger Mouse

All I ever wanted to do, was bring magic into the world.

Organizing a resistance to an interplanetary invasion is never going to be easy, but there's so much work to be done and nobody seems to be doing anything at all except dealing with their own issues!  It always comes down to the mage to have to lead such expeditions, meaning our heroine The Mystic of Century Station, Tessa Goodchild, has to get out of her element and actually deal with people and try to be....charismatic.

Stress ensues.

Sure it's fun to play hero, but I don't think

they're playing by our rules...

 

The Silver City Survivors' first foray into actual heroics has the unfortunate backlash of reality setting in.  Monsters, gunfire, and explosions follow in their wake.  Half of them aren't even sure why they're doing this, owing their loyalty to the others.  Hopefully their handler, Mr. Hansen is up to the task of ensuring that all of them make it home safely!

Hendricks - quiet military child, Construct Force Construct Nate - skateboarder trickshot artist,  Alter Limb, Enlarge Objects, Targetting Paige - fun loving, ADHD prone comics fan  - Gestalt hero Ben - serious about heroism, suspicious of his father - APS: Air, SpiralWade - Worried about his powers, curious about Paige -  Super Energy Expulsion  Not present
