Whiny protagonist not included

 

Its just a bit of high treason, folks.

But yes its true.  They've fought vampires, they've fought monsters from the Land of the Damned, and they've dealt with a most annoying dragon.  Yet the town defenders of Tuffluv are unable to escape the coming war, enough so that when troops come knocking, seeking the legendary rune weapons that the players are skeptical of using, yet do not wish to supply a side with; it turns into quite a debacle.

Gun, Badge, Sunglasses, Gun, we're all set.

A rare opportunity for a first episode post!  The game is Ninjas and Superspies(r), the high-octane action film genre game written by Erick Wujick.  This time, we're playing DEA Agents intent to help break the drug trade in Miami.  (Do note that we know beans about such things, and that is obvious in gameplay, also some....unkind terms were used in gameplay as well.  As such, ask that you consider this NSFW)

Characters-

Karl - Veteran Grunt - ex-Military who found himself overqualified for about anything else.  New to the whole situation in and out of game.  Knows Krav Maga, and familiar with many...many...weapons.

Cia Drelling aka "Punk"  -  Commando Mercenary - former Miami SWAT agent, as well as part of the K-9 corps.  Owns a fur coated razor blade named Quint, who you do NOT look in the eyes.  Large, boisterous, and a heart of gold.  Knows Brazilian Jui-Jutsu

 

Bhlaze - Operative Agent -  French INTERPOL agent on assignment with us.  Dual citizenship with US and France, knows Tae Kwon Do.  His father was killed in a sting gone bad in Miami years ago, suspects leak in the force

 

Jacki - ex-CSWAT from Century Station, left due to the current incidents there.  Trying to start over with her girlfriend in a new city, new setting.

Also like half of us don't have Surveillance or Streetwise, so we're off to a great start.

Well it was a nice little town before I flooded it.

Lo the city of Tuffluv has been destroyed, due to the actions of the PC Defenders of the town.  Now all that remains is to ensure their survival as the coming revolution between the Warlock Council of the Shadow Coast, and of Byzantium proper.  Ever ones to stay out of global politics, the town defenders have repeatedly chosen to avoid this war, and yet it keeps coming closer to them.  Even the remnants of Tuffluv itself voice their support for revolution.

And the matter is made all the more difficult, when Clayre, a schoolmate of Jesmin's, appears out of the blue, in an effort to solicit her aid for the Warlock Council.

 

Sir James - Elven Knight, town protector, and defiant hero of the masses

Jesmin Alia- Byzantium Noble, Water Warlock and charmer, cagey manipulator and drowner of towns

Clayre - Western Empire Earth Warlock, mousey and shy, good natured.

Its like a much more violent version of Pokemon,

except we also punch one of the trainers.

Locked in a battle with the Fire Kami, and those who would want to claim his power, Esper Force apprehensively makes the choice, that it would be better to contain the Fire Kami than to let it roam free.

However a divine beast is not so easily captured, and there are always worse things out there that must be dealt with...

 

Characters:

Lenn - aka Japan Cable, Lenn comes from a demon-controlled future and brooks no nonsense.  Energy based powerset

Noriko - Analytical Genius, Noriko's instrumental in the creation of power armor, ships, and the problem of the demon invasion, however her unscrupulous tendencies cause her to delve into territory best left alone.

Sakura - Child of Ameratsu, goddess of the Sun, Sakura bears the crushing weight of responsibility on her, having watched her friends die in her stead.

Yurika - Weak of flesh, strong of spirit, the powerful psychic Yurika has died seven times.  Now housed in a robot body, she is forced to adjust to a life akin to death.

Tori - A new recruit, Tori gained his demonically-infused powerset during the attack from Jigoku.  His family no longer recognizes him, leaving him feeling quite alone in the world...

Super psychic samurai Yurika, ready!  Esper Force ready?....FOR JAPAN!

 

The team of Esper Force, Japan's only superhero team, again clash with each other as they consider their next course of action.  A new figure has entered the fray, seeking the power over life and land, and has chosen the elemental kami that roam Japan's more wild regions.  Having struck down one effortlessly, Esper Force sees this figure align with the Southern Dragons, a foe previously fought in Season 1.

 

Yurika struggles to adapt to her new robotic form as well as the alienation from her father, the team's loyalty rift grows wider.  Tori finds himself longing for a life before he gained demonic powers, and for those he had left behind.  It seems Esper Force has sacrificed much for Japan, and there's always a need for more blood.
