OOC Notes

The Protectors of the World (or simply known as The Protectors) are a super group in the same vein as The Champions, a coalition of heroes who are tasked with taking on world scale events. They have a wide variety of different skill and power sets in order to deal with conflicts as they arise, from covert missions in faraway countries to large scale, earth threatening villains. They are the first line of defense whenever the stakes are high.

The roster is composed of charter members, who are permanent fixtures on the Protectors roster, as well as honorary members. Charter members are the main force of the team, each one having the ability to access the Protectors comm. Honorary members are utilized in a more support capacity, dependent upon specialization and need on any given mission. Honorary members are also not limited by their involvement in any other super group they may be established in.

As it stands, the Protectors are not looking for applicants or actively recruiting. Typically the team itself will seek out other players to join and expand out ranks with those players/ characters who we feel might be a good fit for the kind of RP stories we wish to tell. Most of our team is comprised of individuals who are already comfortable with each others' play style. Also, we have in place a cap of around twenty individual players with a 'no alts' policy in place barring Honorary status. This ensures that everyone can participate and never quite feel out of the loop of the goings on internally within the Protectors, as is often the case with large groups. Nothing personal towards anyone who may want to join our ranks, this system just tends to work to make the group more effective and fun for all of those involved. Utilizing the 'Honorary Protectors' system also allows us to bring in outside players for an adventure or two (or even more!) who may not be part of the actual line up.

History

The Protectors of the World were created when the heroine Sparrowhawk, seeking to create a more proactive strike force of seasoned heroes, came to UNTIL to request the ability and funds to go ahead with such a project. With the assistance of her partner, All-Star, the two began the arduous task of reviewing both notable and up-and-coming heroes that would mesh well both personality and power wise. Bringing in both close associates, friends and even relative strangers, they began in earnest to forge a team that would be a force to be reckoned with.

The Protectors currently have their headquarters in the upper penthouse levels of the Barlowe Building. All active members receive a suite to serve as residential quarters and a monthly stipend for their services. The levels of the Barlowe have been renovated to act as living quarters, a functional training area and meeting area. It also houses a state of the art laboratory and gymnasium. Their headquarters is also outfitted with a larger version of Sparrowhawk's 'Mother' artificial intelligence computer system as well as Portal. Portal, which is accessed via the Mother computer, creates doorways within select areas of the world that have been pre-determined and routed. Portal locales are situated across most main cities on Earth, barring a few countries that have not had previous agreements or sanctioned by UNTIL.

The Barlowe Building

The Barlowe Building serves as the current headquarters for The Protectors. The building, primarily an executive hotel, has had its uppermost seven stories redesigned to accommodate the super team's needs. The headquarters is run by an artificial intelligence known as 'Mother', a more intuitive version of the program designed by Sparrowhawk in her costume and co-created by UNTIL contractor Simon Reynolds. Mother handles every day tasks as well as more specialized functions, such as controlling Portal.

The upper floors contain the following:

Twenty four 900 square foot residential suites. These suites are for reserved for the active charter members and constitute the lowest of the two floors that the Protectors utilize. Some are used as full time living quarters; others are used intermittently by certain members. Certain rooms are tailored towards specific needs: C.O.P., for example, has a repair bay for quarters.

A state of the art gymnasium, pool, and recreation center. The gym caters to both human and metahuman abilities.

Crime lab and small medical center.

Meeting Room with primary computer relay and multiple holographic displays.

Hard light holographic training facility. This training room is outfitted with numerous programs and scenarios designed to enhance team functioning or individual personal training. The Mother AI can assist in simulating particular villains and their known methodology when fighting.

Mission Control. Usually manned by Sparrowhawk, it serves as a communications hub for all members of The Protectors. From here Sparrowhawk has full access to the Mother system and can view and receive transmission feeds, keeping both audio and visual tabs.

Portal. The Portal system is a large, arch like device located off the main meeting room. It is run by the Mother program. Activated by voice command, Portal sets up instantaneous teleportation to most large cities across the world. While incredibly effective at ensuring The Protectors can be first responders at most scenes, it also has the side effect to many of temporary nauseousness and dizziness.

Defensive and Offensive capabilities. Due to its very public location, the Barlowe is specially equipped with a number of high level capabilities to prevent attacks. In the event an attack does occur, the building has been outfitted with both offensive and defensive systems.

A Trophy Hall on the fourth story, with a number of personal trophies, spoils and souvenirs from the Protectors' many adventures.

ALL-STAR

"It ain't what you got, it's how you use it."

Name: Nathaniel Carter
Abilities: Hyperkinesis, SteelTech Bionic Eyes
Rank: Field Leader

Nathaniel Carter was an all-star high school quarterback and small-time crook with the unique mutant ability of Hyperkinesis when he was put on death row after being framed for the murder of his fiancée by his partner-in-crime. Offered a second chance by the U.S Government, Nate was trained to be a soldier, a spy and, most importantly, a patriot. With his checkered past behind him, Nate became the All-Star, a veritable one-man army and one of the greatest known marksmen alive. Despite his primary role as a freelance agent for the U.S Government, All-Star has spent much of his time working out of his comfort zone with crimefighter. This constant lack of consistency and a near-fatal injury caused him to reevaluate his standing in the superhero community and, with the support of his girlfriend, Sparrowhawk, prompted him to look into registering with a team of like-minded superheroes. When Sparrowhawk suggested that they form their own global response team, All-Star reluctantly jumped aboard as the team's field leader. Though his work with the government often limits the time he has to work with the Protectors, he is always willing to devote himself body and soul to the team when able.

C.O.P.

"Do I look like I'm here to negotiate?"

Name: Construct Optimized for Peacekeeping, 18 of 20
Abilities: Superstrength & durability, flight
Rank: Member

The Construct Optimized for Peacekeeping Unit 18 of 20, or simply "Mills", is one of a decommissioned series of robots whose purpose was to not only to aid police forces with apprehending metahuman criminals, but apparently make said criminals regret they were ever born, Mills was made with pride in Austin, Texas by Syntha Tech Industries. Mills, like all C.O.P.s, is a fully self-aware artificial intelligence construct installed in a massive and heavily armored chassis built to withstand the worst types of punishment super villains can dish out and then return the favor with both fire power and brute strength. Mills is currently with an elite division of M.A.R.S. known as Special Unit Alpha, which defends the city from rogue A.I.'s and other dangerous synthetics. Though he is often criticized as being every bit as dangerous as the villains he was designed to fight, there's no denying his impressive service record and he always gets the job done by the book. ("The Book" is what Mills named his night stick.) At first, he scoffed at the idea of ever joining a superhero team and declined Sparrowhawk's invitation, but later changed his mind after a lengthy talk with Syntha Tech's C.E.O.

DOBERGIRL

"Don't worry. I've got more than enough bite to go with the bark."

Name: Sunny Oskern
Abilities: Augmented physical abilities, Enhanced senses
Rank: Member

Sunny Oskern is a former sidekick to veteran street level hero, Doberman! From the the small but growing city of Flatlake, Michigan, Dobergirl is an enthusiastic, strong willed and loyal young woman with a varied and growing skill set. Though originally nothing more than an obsessed fangirl, working under Doberman she was trained in unarmed combat (mostly boxing and street fighting), the use of improvised and unorthodox weaponry and some minor detective skills. In the last few years she's further sharpened her skills, picking up a knack for common tech used by the hero community, a familiarity with high grade weaponry and advanced vehicles used by both legal and criminal organizations. In addition to these skills, Dobergirl recently became much closer to her namesake thanks to canine DNA grafts to fix genetic damage caused during her sidekick days when she was accidently struck by an experimental 'power ray' meant to give a small criminal a boost in strength. These augmentations grant her highly increased physical capabilities and senses far above those of a normal human.

FANTASMA

Name: Maria Teresa García Ramírez de Arroyo
Abilities: Ectoplasm Generation/Control, Flight, Invisibility, Intangibility
Rank: Member

Long ago, one of Maria Teresa's ancestors incurred the wrath of a powerful witch who placed a terrible curse on his bloodline: the women who shared his genes would soon find their skin fading to a ghostly white pallor and their blood turning to gelatinous ectoplasm! She is the most recent inheritor of this curse and, as a result, has a host of spectral powers at her disposal, ranging from the generation and control of ectoplasm to invisibility, and even what is effectively immortality! However, the curse does not come without its downsides, the most obvious being the fate that awaits her; if she cannot track down an artifact that can finally lay this curse to rest, she will be doomed to wander the earth as a bodiless spirit for all eternity. Maria has taken up the life of a superhero to expose herself to the more supernatural elements of the world, but can she find the one object of her salvation before it's too late?

Inspired by the people who saved her, she later joined the service at age 18 where she remained for most of her adult life. Now older and wiser, Shira hopes to influence the new generations and, when necessary, bring her considerable destructive powers to bare when evil refuses to back down. Although Howitzer has often lead strike teams and troops in the field, she believes a younger, more energetic woman such as Alex is better suited for leadership and hopes to offer her advice when needed.

After a rather eventful entry into Millennium City, Kaira has been assigned to continue studying this particular universe in addition to taking care of other dimensional threats. Despite being restricted by her No Direct Interference protocol, Kaira has been granted clearance by her employers to assist UNTIL with various scientific pursuits that will hopefully lead to a healthy standing with the Metaversal public in the future, as well as deal with various threats throughout the world in order to keep the dimension safe for study, seeing as it has proven to be a rather unique one so far. Joining the Protectors should help with these duties, and hopefully the various others that she has to deal with on a daily basis. These things do get overwhelming, after all.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Name: Hisashi Ijiri
Abilities: Superhuman Strength, Healing Factor, Enhanced Physical Attributes
Rank: Member

Hisashi was born and raised in Himeiji, Japan, and was completely normal in every sense of the word. He was particularlly close to his younger brother, who viewed him as a sort of role model growing up. His brother eventually went missing and Hisashi was given an offer by a group that would help in searching for him. Becoming wrapped in the group's xenophobic politics, he was eventually chosen to undergo a procedure to become something akin to a superhuman with the aid of nanobiomachinery. Hisashi became a frontline force in the group's goal to create a utopian society despite how much he hated doing so. Eventually the group fell to infighting and Hisashi disappeared in obscurity. He decided to use his powers in the hero community under the name of Katsuo instead, operating in Japan before immigrating to United States. While not the most famous of heroes, Katsuo joined the Protectors due to his increasing involvement in affairs around the globe.

Name: Zelara T'shal
Abilities: Anthari Physiology, Mk.3 Warmaster Armor
Rank: Member

Zelara T'shal hails from the spacefaring Anthari race, whose homeworld was destroyed by Valak the World Ravager decades ago. While flying an experimental vessel looking for planetary settlement candidates, her ship experienced a catastrophic warp-drive malfunction and crashed on Earth, losing all hands save her. The blue-skinned extraterrestrial has pledged her life and loyalty to her adoptive homeworld, doing battle with Earth's enemies with advanced combat armor and powerful energy weapons. Though she doesn't seem much of a warrior at first glance, and indeed only possesses rudimentary combat training, she makes up for this shortcoming with powerful alien technology, a knack for reverse engineering, and a near-fanatical determination few of her opponents can match.

RAZIRA

"Do not underestimate the wolf inside of me. Or else you will get burned."

Name: Confidential
Abilities: Ice/Fire Manipulation, Lycanthropy
Rank: Field Leader

Razira, unlike most of the others of the Protectors' team, has most of her past and civilian life buried behind layers of 'need to know' simply for her parents' protection. What little she has said of her past include that she was born in Florida more than 30 years ago, moved to Millennium City to get away from it all, gained a college degree in Business Management, and became a barista at the main coffee chain in Millennium. At least until she was kidnapped, genetically altered, and eventually became the Hero she is today - a werewolf with the powers of oxygen based temperature control, who is employed through one of UNTIL's Special Projects. Now nearly a four year veteran of the heroic lifestyle, she was approached out of the blue by Sparrowhawk, inviting her to the Protectors. Despite being a lone wolf type through her job at UNTIL, something deep down told her to accept. Now she finds herself hoping that her high level 'blaster' type powers and werewolf senses will be enough alongside others with far more technical, magical, and general know-how than she does.

PHENOM

"I'm not really with these guys."

Name: Nicholas 'Nick' Jonathan Travis
Abilities: Empathic Voice, Illusion Manipulation
Rank: Member

For roughly three years now, Nick Travis has been a pop-sensation. Girls want him, guys want to punch him, but almost everyone knows him - until recently. Despite his superhuman empathic voice, his popularity has been declining rapidly as fans moved on to the "next big thing." His manager was almost ready to drop him until he publicly declared that he was going to become a superhero. It was an act of desperation, but it worked perfectly. So with the help of some sponsors, he became "the greatest hero the world has ever seen"; Phenom. After "stopping" a couple of staged crimes, Nick has surprisingly begun to insert himself into the hero community, even joining the Protectors. But whether or not his plans to fight crime are true or not, well, that's still subject to debate.

Rank: Member

Adventurer, privateer and guardian of the world's oceans, the atlantean exile known as the Seadragon spends his days wrestling ship-devouring monsters, staring down false gods and lamenting the lack of decent kelp wine on the surface. There is a reason why pirates have begun to fear the open seas.

SENTINEL

"I suggest you lay down your arms and come peacefully - dead or alive, you are coming with me."

Name: Serenity King
Abilities: The Arsenal
Rank: Member

Serenity King, once a normal person with normal hopes and dreams, was the victim of an unfortunate and tragic incident with a now-retired former hero. A stray explosion sent by his powers detonated in the cabin of her car just as she was entering, blowing her away from the wreckage and dealing horrific amounts of damage to her body. With the aid of a powerful benefactor, her brother Daniel rebuilt her body using advanced alien technology, fused with her own biology and some of his unique biomechanical workings. While this saved her life, it also turned her into a powerful weapon - one that she has chosen (supported by her brother's foundation) to use in the fight for good. Assigned to the Protectors by UNTIL after the Virago incident, Sentinel maintains their AI, Mother, as well as the Barlowe building's defense grid and their emergency response systems.

Rank: Mission Leader

Sparrowhawk is one of the world's most dangerous combatants and a master in a multitude of skill sets. After traveling the globe for years as both an agent of UNTIL and as a costumed crime fighter, Alex saw a need for a strong and efficient team which could handle world wide crises or threats. Thus with the backing of UNTIL paired with her own connections created the Protectors of the World, who would be on the first line of defense to tackle such events. Often Sparrowhawk works behind the scenes in a supervisory capacity, ensuring heroes are sent out and tasks completed as efficiently as possible. This is not to say she abstains from field work completely... she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty when she can. Sparrowhawk often works more covert missions as well for the team due to her spy background.

Currently on the active roster, Ada nonetheless finds herself working in a more off the field capacity for the super group. Hired by UNTIL, Ada is the public relations manager for the Protectors of the World. It is her job to be the 'face' of the team for news and media outlets. With a Q score that proves a valuable asset, it is up to her to ensure she can make the best out of any bad situation. Strictly barred by Sparrowhawk from fighting alongside the Protectors, Ada will undoubtedly discover that even a Protector not in the war zones will still somehow find their way to it...

AURA

Abilities: Empathy, Telepathy, Telekinesis
Rank: Reserve Member, Psychologist

Aura, an UNTIL costumed hero/ agent from Great Britain, was relocated to the United States after the anti-meta 'heroine' Virago began a crusade against the super heroic populace. Setting off a chain of events where the heroes of Millennium City were facing severe issues of mistrust against each other, Aura stepped in to provide support to the struggling Protectors of the World.

GRIMOIRE

Abilities: Supersorceror Magic
Rank: Reserve Member, Mystic Expert

Born in rural England, Moira is a talented and natural super-sorcerer. She's one of few that could have been a valid candidate for the position of Archmage (now filled by Caliburn), and wields the potent Ascendant Band artifacts. Moira is sworn to protect the Earth and the Prime Material from incursions both mystical and not, and possesses a formidable talent that she wields with little regret. She's acerbic and brusque, and frankly, sometimes just plain rude. She has a tendency to look down on non-mages, not out of disdain, but out of a wish to keep them away from what she considers 'her business'. Unfortunately, with rising complications around the globe, Moira was forced into a position where she needed to lend her aid to others - and so she wound up being a member of the newly founded Protectors.

RIPTIDE

Name: Avakai Ty'Lori
Abilities: Voltexian Weaponry & Cybernetics
Rank: Reserve Member, Heavy Assault Expert

Avakai ty'Lori, better known as Riptide, was born on the distant ocean planet Voltexi, where his father owned a vast import/export business. His future would hold something different for him, however - he signed on with the military as soon as he was of age, receiving various cybernetic augmentations and intensive training in the use of multiple deadly weapons of war. After being discharged from service when it was discovered his body was not receptive to the newest line of cybernetics, Riptide decided to take to the stars, working as a bounty hunter to help pay his way throughout the galaxy. He traveled for almost six decades before finally crashing on Earth. Now he helps the crime-fighters of the planet with his extensive knowledge of extraterrestrials and skill with weaponry, proving to be a deadly and ferocious combatant even against seemingly overwhelming odds. His normally laid-back attitude hides a far more predatory, bloodthirsty nature; Riptide only truly feels alive when he's on the battlefield. His friendship with Sparrowhawk resulted in his recruitment into the Protectors of the World, where he will continue to ply his trade. Busy with inerstellar work and off world for much of the time, he currently is a honorary member.
