In the aftermath of The Skrull Invasion, as Norman Osborn forms H.A.M.M.E.R. and takes over as the chief honcho of international security, he looks to create a new squad of super heroes independent of the existing traditional teams (Avengers, X-Men, etc), in hopes that the public would identify more fully with a team not associated with the recent troubles around the globe, a fresh start as it were.
To that end, he sought out unafilliated metahumans of any stripe to join a team he dubbed New Day Incorporated. The team, Osborn claimed, would represent the best the globe had to offer; not just crime fighters, but thinkers, artists, and leaders. Soon, Osborn claimed, NDI would, indeed, bring a new day to the world!
***************************************************************************************
As the thread title suggests, I'm trying my hand at a conceptually "back to basics" game with a generic team of heroes drawn from all corners of the Marvel Universe. The setting is the mainstream Marvel U, immediately after the events of The Secret Invasion storyline. First and foremost, the game will be story-driven, and I hope to present a solid mix of action, humor, and personal stories that draw on the individual characters' backgrounds and allow the characters to grow closer to one another (or perhaps, deepen rivalries amongst them...)
Character Creation: I'm looking for original characters, though ties to existing Marvel properties are highly encouraged. Mutants are allowed, but I would like to restrict the team to one or two mutants. Characters must be at least 18 years of age (otherwise they wouldn't be able to serve on a team), and may have received some prior training (from the Initiative, Xavier's Academy, etc), but they cannot be associated with a super powered team. Characters who are openly belligerent to Osborn or authority in general would not be chosen for this team, for what I hope are obvious reasons.
The stone count is 40+10, and we will be using the house rules from my 313 games (found in a link below)
Interest? Questions?
