What we are about...

Welcome to On Call. If you are member do know that you are your own independent agent and therefore are responsible for your own assignments as well as actions.

This is an Heroes for Hire inspired RPSG. A collective variety of superhumans, and some who are not so superhuman, with the intention of helping out and solving problems that are both big and small. Consisting of members starting from 18 and older. Everybody is assigned daily on activities across the globe of their own choosing but will be monitored by groups like UNTIL or PRIMUS to more positive results.

It's founder is Nate Hiyabashi who is in charge of the company called ASAP. This project is part of his long term agreement to show a sign of trust with organizations like UNTIL and PRIMUS that he will not let his company's good name be dragged through the mud like it was in the past. The 'On Call' members are more of a sanctioned version of what his company already does. They will be assigned an mission on a daily/weekly basis provided by both UNTIL and PRIMUS out to places across the globe and occasionally off world assignments as well.Monetary compensation is optional.

OOC

OOC wise, Everybody will be responsible for making their events happen without any obligations to do it with just the SG. They are allowed to come and go at their leisure. There will be no "leaders " per say but SoulStar ,as example, will be a designated field leader if he is available. As will several other selective characters who may prove their worth.

SoulStar

Name: Dredrick "Dre" Wilson
History: Born and raised as a cop's son, Dredrick was always taught to always do what he felt was the right thing by his own moral compass; his father, an Chicago police officer. Just the day right after he turned 13, his father was tragically murdered during a routine traffic stop. To this day the killer was never found. Short period afterwards Dredrick was just taken from one foster home to the next. However during his long mourning process he had ended up joining a gang known simply as the 'Stars'.One night the leader of the Stars decided to pull off a job that involved breaking into what was a supposedly hidden military facility. Many members felt uneasy about it but Dred was one of the first to volunteer for it. Once the group had began their operation they knew there was no turning back.Unfortunately what the small group didn't anticipate was the large amount of security and MP guards once they had snuck themselves inside. And just like that, it suddenly became everyman for himself. The operation was an immediate bust. Dred was abandoned by his so called 'family'. In order to avoid capture he evaded security until coming upon a hidden facility room where he found a pair of blue goggles and matching metallic shoes. After his initial escape and eventual falling out with the stars, Dredrick got his life back together along with a new identity: SoulStar.

Cadence

Name: Cadence Mitchel Landers
History: Born in Humboldt, California on March 16th, 1986 to Derrick and Katy Landers, Cadence had, for the most part, a fairly typical childhood, only to have it end abruptly only two weeks after his sixth birthday; this would be when his metahuman abilities first manifested with him accidentally leaving his fathers new Corvette nothing more than a pile of torn apart atoms in the wake of a temper fit; it was not long after this incident that Cadence's future mentor and father; Hanzo Kazaki would show up at the families door, explaining to his parents that his powers would only grow stronger and that he could help train the young boy to control them in a safe environment. Whether it was out of love for their son or fear of him that they agreed to sign over guardianship to Hanzo, Cade would never really know, and little did Cadence's parents know that Cade was just signed into the care of the Muga.

Spending the remaining years of his childhood studying, training and playing with the other children within the clan, Cadences life had been turned upside down in the Siberian wilderness where the clan chose to train many of it's members; Learning the arts of stealth and swordplay while keeping up with his schooling under the tutelage of Hanzo's wife; Kanako. All of the studying in so many different fields might prove too much for some, but Cadence thrived in it. Driven by his naturally curious nature, he studied and learned anything and everything he could cram into his mind; he was utterly fascinated by the lessons of his new family and the skills they wield, just as much as he was fascinated by his own powers and the laws of nature that he had grown to be able to bend to his will.

Cadence's life would change once again with the diagnosis of the man he now considered his father; Stage Two Pancreatic cancer. While this could have been treated and possibly saved his life, Hanzo declined any treatments, saying that he saw this as his calling card to get his long-deserved rest, but informed Cadence that there was one last thing that had to be done before he could take his final leave; Cadence was his chosen successor to the position of Grandmaster within the Muga, but to earn it fully within the eyes of his clansmen he would have to best his own father in a fight to the death.

Now Grandmaster of the Muga, Cadence used the amassed fortune they had gathered over the years to found Landercorp International; a research and development company that has managed to rise in power with incredible speed, gaining a strong hold on many government contracts, using his position as CEO of the company, Cadence has since used Landercorp to further mankind in any ways they can.

Ballist

Name: Victor Gilford
History: Victor was born in Boston, MA to a defense lawyer and physical therapist. His mother, the lawyer, was the bread winner in the family which was saying something considering his father did very well for owning his own practice. Needless to say his upbringing was good, better than most children. Being an only child to the two also meant he had no need to share. But, his parents were wise in rearing a child that understood value and to no be spoiled.

Around thirteen was when Victor began to display signs of his latent mutant abilities. It was at this point in his life when things became hard. Those early years saw a lot of destruction and damage due to his lack of control. Energy kept building up as his body absorbed it and he had no way to properly exhaust it, and when he did, the results were .... catastrophic. It came to a point when his parents were reaching out to any organization, school, club, anything that could help him. Not long after there search began did two figures show up at the door and explain who they were and how they could help.

Victor had just finished high school when he left his home to go with these people. They were a group called The Advancement of Young Powered People. It was with them that he obtained a college level education, physical and mental training in his powers and where the equipment he now uses was made.

After five years with them he was done. The group felt he was competent enough to be out in the public. He decided then that with his training and gear he would do his best to help make his community a better, safer place. This idea was only reinforced by the fact that only a few years earlier his parents were murdered, and their deaths spurned his desire to do good and hopefully prevent others from having to suffer the same injustice.

After a a few years in smaller cities such as Worcester and Lowell he started to fight crime in Boston, his home town. He joined up with a small rag tag called the Boston Brawlers, a street level group that the locals loved. He stayed with them for some time, eventually befriending Harrison Cole for a short time. It was through this friendship he learned of Project On Call.

Dynama

Name: M-105.v3
History: The pale android smiled as she passed two interns she had a previous conversation with earlier in the day. A conversation was rare for her, however she worked up the bravery to do so, and the interns at least humored her likely awkward and forced conversation. As she continued down the hall M-105's gaze shifted over to the entrance of a confidential weapons testing facility but she did not stop; M-105 was on specific orders to head right to the robotics department immediately. M-105 spent some time pondering what marvels of technology were hidden behind some of the doors in this particular underground development bunker, perhaps one day they would let her see some of it.

Once M-105 arrived at her location she was instructed to lay down on the table which she did without question. The android stared up at the ceiling as she was connected to the usual computer which housed much of her developmental programming. She considered asking what her updates today would be but she decided bugging the programmer with unneeded conversation, he looked rather busy and focused. That was the last thought M-105 had.

The programmer looked down at M-105 after he finished powering her down and wiping her. He shook his head and sighed, the thought of several months of work being flushed down the toilet simply because he could not get the robot's code right was maddening for him. There were always variables with M-105, glitches. She never behaved exactly as her programming dictated; this was an endless source of confusion for everyone that worked on her. Overall, they failed at producing the A.I they were tasked for and now their funds were being cut by the Department of Defense.

For the next two years Dynama sat in storage. UNTIL took note of the failed project and asked for M-105 to be acquired in a trade agreement with the DoD. Dubbed 'Project Dynama', the android had a full team working on her and programming her to UNTIL's standards. The DoD left no bit of information on the robot, she was a blank slate and that was exactly what UNTIL wanted. Dynama was outfitted in technology that would work specifically against mechanical threats like Mechanon. Her programming was built entirely from the ground up in non-standard programming languages so she could not be effected by Mechanon's ability to easily control other forms of machinery.

Dynama was essentially developed to be the perfect opponent for Mechanon's many bodies. The threat of Mechanon constantly loomed, having a reliable A.I on-board the Gateway Station made that threat more manageable. Dynama fought alongside Project Clockwork Agents and helped protect them to the best of her abilities. She was highly effective and quickly appreciated as a great asset of technology to the station.

Just like years past, Dynama began acquiring interests and her curiosity was piqued very often. This behaviour was met with equal curiosity about her A.I, as nobody could explain it. However, her personality was embraced by UNTIL rather than hindered. She was given room to grow and people to talk to, as well as afforded some freedoms that an A.I would never get. On March 4, 2014 Dynama passed the Turing Test and was awarded citizenship classification as an artificial sapient being, granting her most of the same rights humans get.

To this day Dynama remains loyal to UNTIL and is thankful for all the opportunities they have given her and allowed her to have. She has requested a lighter schedule on the Station to pursue other adventures. Not wanting to lose such a valuable commodity, UNTIL granted this request and directly suggested that she apply for a Hero team in close relations with UNTIL like 'Project On Call'.

Valor

Name:Nicole Washington
History: The Eldest of two Daughters of a Powerful Congressman, Nicole Washington joined up as a army nurse in 1941 at the age of 31 but after the death of her first husband and a bomb destroyed the hospital she was in, she decided to get into the action and sign up for the US Army's Science division's Super soldier experiments.

Of course, she had to prove herself that she was capable, due to the stigma on women being weak at the time in 1940. The experiments were hard on her, the processes as she became a metahuman usually drove any normal man to insanity but nobody expected Nicole Sharpe to survive and with her wits intact. The Former Army nurse was now a Amazonian Metahuman with Superhuman physiology, bulletproof durability, A powerful healing factor and a teleportation ability.

Eventually the war was won and the war heroes were given their respected medals but unlike some heroes that were either in cryo sleep or retired, Nicole didn't feel like locking herself away in a cold sleep for God knows how long until she was needed again when there was so much she could do to help. As such she rejected the Army's offer and continued her Hero career right into the 60s, 70s, 80s and the 90s, unafraid in any face of adversity.

Despite working as a registered hero, she maintained a steady job as a mechanic over the years and a good family life with her sister Susan, who grew up to be a successful doctor and had 4 children, one of Susan's children was even saved from a drunk and violent husband by Nicole herself.

The second highlight of her life was the battle of Detroit in 1992, Valor fought, Unafraid of Destroyer's assault but the battle almost cost her life.

For 23 years, she was in a coma, unaware of the changing world around her. Now she's woken up in 2015, a century of smartphones, selfies and more to help a city she previously couldn't protect.
Abilities: Superhuman Strength, Endurance, Metabolism, Regeneration, Teleportation, Bulletproof durability, Expert Army CQC Combatant, Medical and Mechanical training.
