Hi all,
I unearthed my MURPG Corebook a week back (bought it and it disappeared after not playing it for a long time) and played with my younger bro.
Came up with a neat campaign idea. Basically, for people who likes to play ninja-esque characters.
The ninja (let's just name him Silent Stroke) is an assassin for hire. He was trained by Sensei Dosan, after his parents died in a mysterious accident when he was still a child (say 5-6). The vague recollections Silent Stroke have about the incident are: Parents slumped over in their car seats, windscreen of car shattered, flashing steel, blood splattered in car.
NOTE: His parents were killed by the Black Widow Clan (obviously evil), and he would be killed too if not for the intervention of Sensei Dosan's disciples. Silent Stroke is a Potential, the next in line for being the Bringer of Ma'at. The Bringer of Ma'at is supposed to cleanse the world of darkness in a final battle against the Great Corruptor. In every generation, there's a Bringer, and the battle against the Corruptor's forces. When one dies, the next is called up. Obviously, the Black Widow Clan is one of the Corruptor's many servants.
Basically, the goal of the campaign is for Silent Stroke to uncover his past as well as ascending to become the next Bringer upon the death of the current Bringer (who it is is up to the GM's discretion). Since it is in a ninja-type setting, you can introduce Elektra in (whoopie!), and if you're a Buffy fan like me, the Bringer can be referred to as Slayer as well, with other Corruptor minions being vampires.
I started the campaign off with a simple assassination job for Silent Stroke, with complication thrown in when some Black Widow ninjas strike, targeting him. Sensei Dosan summoned him back to the academy, but before he could arrive, Dosan is assassinated by unknown ninjas. I'm planning to introduce Elektra into the campaign by having her trace some Black Widow ninjas who are trying to kill Silent Stroke, and then join his side against them.
Hope that this will help in your campaign. Take care!

Yeah it ended up going vampires, which btw, work excellently with the Power UP/Down action somewhere round the boards as well as Energy Drain with restriction to 'Must physically sink fangs into victim' and some tweaks here and there. Oh, and the grapple rule (also somewhere on boards under combat streamlining or such) works marvelously with vamps trying to pin a person down to drink.
