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.

They usually look a bit more intimidating. Left-Right: All-Star, Phenom, Voreen, Keioisis, Dobergirl, Sparrowhawk, Katsuo, Grey Osprey, Artifist and Razira pull off their best chibi poses.

History

Founders, Part One: Thundrax, Particle Man, Dobergirl, Sparrowhawk, C.O.P., Howitzer, Riptide and All-Star

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 to begin such a team with their backing. 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 an assortment of super heroes who were close associates, friends and even relative strangers, they began in earnest to forge a team that would be a force to be reckoned with. Some of the early members included African Violet from South Africa, Kastsuo from Japan, the robotic C.O.P. from America, Canadian powerhouse Thundrax and even former teenage ingenue Dobergirl.

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 first year of the Protectors was extremely busy and quickly tested the mettle of the newly formed group. They were taken to task before their headquarters were even completed and the roster finalized by the 175, which was the number of secret identities compromised during an attack on PRIMUS. This was followed up by battling everything from African gods to World War 2 villains with a score to settle against old foes. The Protectors earned a sterling reputation for these successes. Hailed as heroes across the globe, UNTIL ensured the Protectors were on the first lines of defense when situations would arise. New heroes continued to join their ranks as their team expanded, such as the well known heroine Razira and the mystical aquatic hero Seadragon.

The beginning of 2014 was marred by the apparent betrayal of the team's own leader, Sparrowhawk. In truth she was captured by members of the Apotheosis Project, an organization established to ridding the world of super human influence. They used to her to attempt to turn public opinion against super powered beings under the guise of an anti meta heroine named Virago. After an assault against the team in which Sparrowhawk defeated them, the Protectors could have folded... instead they quickly rallied together to put an end to this menace. From Canadian Fist losing her powers and going on a mission to restore them to discovering a gene bomb that could readily kill off most of the Earth's super beings, the Protectors persevered. Sadly, during one mission, founding member Black Sigil sacrificed himself saving the lives of the rest of the Protectors. After Sparrowhawk freed herself from the mental thrall she was under, she joined her friends just in time as a monster known as Leviathan attempted to destroy Millennium City. The collected forces of Protectors both charter and honorary faced him down, and both he and the Apotheosis Project were toppled, though at a great cost.

After the events of the past few months, Sparrowhawk took a short leave of absence from the team, allowing All-Star to take a far greater proactive role In leadership, which he had already began during her kidnapping and mental subjugation. Others took this time to reflect on their lives as well, with Canadian Fist taking the new identity of Artifist and Katsuo upgrading both his armor and weapons, which had almost been destroyed. The Barlowe Building, home of the Protectors, was renovated as well by the heroine Sentinel and outfitted with new security and weaponry systems in place.

Currently the team once again stands together and is more than ready to face any and all challenges.

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 for herself to aid in crime fighting which was co-created by UNTIL contractor Simon Reynolds. Mother handles every day tasks as well as more specialized functions, such as controlling PORTAL (see below).

The upper floors contain the following:

• Living Quarters. The residential facilities of the Protectors is composed of twenty four 900 square foot residential suites. These are for reserved for the active members of the Protectors of the World and constitute two of the lower floors that the Protectors utilize at the Barlowe (the lowest floor actually is home to their security network). Some members use these as full time living quarters; others are used intermittently by certain members when in town or merely as a home away from home, decorated as they wish. Certain rooms are tailored towards specific needs: C.O.P., for example, has a large repair bay for quarters.

Girls gone wild. Protectors African Violet, Razira, Zelara, Sparrowhawk and Voreen.

• Common Room. Wide and expansive, the Protectors of the World common room possesses a flat-screen satellite television, numerous sofas and chairs, a warm fireplace and access to a variety of media from movies to video games. With a direct link to the dining area, it acts as the main social hub for the Protectors of the World when they're on and off duty.

• Dining Area. With a fully stocked kitchen with access to a wide variety of supplies and a table large enough to accommodate most of the team, the dining area is one of the main social hubs for Protectors spending time at the Barlowe Building.

• Gymnasium. Outfitted with all the finest exercise equipment and facilities to help the Protectors tune their bodies and minds, the gymnasium of the Barlowe Building caters to humans, metahumans and extraterrestrials looking to get a good work out. With an olympic-sized pool, a sauna and studios for acrobatics and dance, the gymnasium has everything you could need to stay in shape -- and then some.

• Rec Room. Much like the common room, the rec room of the Barlowe Building was made with socialisations and easy entertainment in mind. With a fully-stocked bar, a pool table, a media center, an arcade, a state of the art sound system and a library of books and files, the Protectors are free to kick back, relax and enjoy their free time in luxury.

• Crime Lab. With enough top of the line equipment to put the FBI to shame, the crime lab offers the Protectors ready access to all the fixings they need to tend to the investigative side of their work, be it autopsies, crime scene investigation or substance analysis. Though, for all intents and purposes, it can very well act as a regular lab for more scientific Protectors, calling it the 'crime lab' just makes it sound cooler.

• Medical Center. Attached to the crime lab, the Barlowe Building's medical center is a facility equipped to deal with the medical emergencies of even the most esoteric members of the team. With medical equipment and supplies suited to human and alien biology and flash-freeze storage for the dead and the unconscious, it serves the Protectors well when things take a turn for the worse. The Medical Center is overseen by the Mother AI.

• Mystics' Room. An area slightly off the crime lab and medical center, this room houses a number of trinkets and books which benefit the more mystically inclined Protectors and is equipped with supplies which would benefit any mystic from an alchemist to a dimensional wayfarer. It has been specially warded against intrusion and scrying, safeguarding it against any particularly sneaky magic-types. Mostly used by Artifist and avoided by All-Star.

• Counseling Room. With the obvious stress entailed by a life full of combat and high stakes, a counseling room has been set up in the Barlowe Building to provide a safe location for the Protectors to vent their worries, frustrations and hang-ups to the team's resident counselor, Aura.

• Briefing Room. A moderate circular room containing a large table with a holographic display in the center of it, the briefing room acts as the main rendezvous point for the Protectors before and after missions. Here, they make ready use of their access to a relay of worldwide news and events to brief and debrief on upcoming missions, organise strategies and assign roles. Lockers containing primary and spare costumes/gear allow the Protectors to suit up before charging in to battle.

• Training Room. A hi-tech facility which makes use of a combination of hard-light, holographic projections and more traditional mechanical systems, the training room is outfitted with advanced combat simulation technology which allows it to mimic the dangers and intricacies of actual combat scenarios withing a .001 margin of error. From the control tower, scenarios can be programmed and fine-tuned via a user friendly command interface overseen by the Mother AI and data from the the Protectors' various field missions and training sessions can be analysed and implemented to keep things challenging. All-Star makes ample use of the facility, writing up somewhat cruel courses for his team mates to run through.

• Hangar. An expansive hangar which stores the Peacekeeper and the various vehicles the individual Protectors regularly make use of. Regular access to the various tools needed to maintain said vehicles is also a given.

• Mission Control. Usually manned by Sparrowhawk, the mission control room acts as the communications and observation hub for the Protectors of the World. From here, all the technological facilities of the Barlowe Building can be controlled and scrutinised and access to satellite transmissions allows the Protectors to maintain visual and audio coverage across the world via the Mother system. When an outside party wishes to contact the Protectors directly, this is where they're usually put through to.

• PORTAL, or Photonic Operated Remote Teleportation Arrival Link. The PORTAL system is a large, arch like device located off the main meeting room. Maintained and operated by the Mother program and activated by voice command, Portal uses orbital waypoints keyed to the Protectors of the World's holo-badges to allow for instantaneous teleportation to most locations of interest across the world. The PORTAL system can therefore grant the Protectors the ability to respond almost instantly to the global threats they often find themselves facing. Despite its efficiency, however, the PORTAL system is both expensive to use and prone to causing nausea and dizziness in some. As such, the Peacekeeper is the more economic choice when time isn't of strict importance.

• Defensive and Offensive Systems. Due to its very public location and the value of many of its interior facilities, the Barlowe Building is outfitted with a number of offensive and defensive countermeasures and apparatus to help keep the enemy out (or, in some cases, in). With powerful weaponry and defensive systems courtesy of both the military and the extraterrestrial members of the team, the Barlowe Building is more than suited to protecting the Protectors.

• Trophy Room. A stretching hall full of glass cases and displays, the trophy room is home to the collection of trophies, souvenirs and gifts the Protectors have received during their missions. With security measure put in place for the more dangerous items, the trophy room offers a nostalgic walk down memory lane for any Protectors in the mood.

The Barlowe Building, current headquarters of The Protectors.

The Peacekeeperleft

The Peacekeeper is the Protectors' personal state of the art jet and primary mode of transportation when PORTAL is not necessary or available. Initially designed on a prototype designed by Alex Harper and her friend Simon Reynolds, it has been further enhanced with the assistance of Zelara (with additional input by Voreen) by incorporating various alien tech in its weaponry and defense systems. All the Protectors are trained in its basic use though it has a built in user intuitive interface to aid those whose experience in flying may be a little less informed. Typically the Peacekeeper is piloted by Razira, Dobergirl, Zelara or Sparrowhawk.

Capabilities include:

• VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability

• Can operate in and withstand deep ocean pressures; cabin has been built to regulate decompression

• Has a flight speed of 4,200 mph inside the Earth's atmosphere (slightly over mach 6)

• Can reach 28,000 mph outside of earth's atmosphere for limited space travel

• Can fit comfortably a flight crew of two and six passengers

• Kendrium armored plating along the hull for maximized natural defenses

• Nanite infused repair system to minimalize structural damage and possible decompression

• Repulsor projectors: Enabling a form of stasis to immobilize items and people

• Gadroon modified force field system

• Repeating pulse laser

• Sidewinder seeker missile system (x6)

• Magnetized under hull

• Side mounted plasma cannons

• Kendrium Alloy Cable/ Winch

• Worldwide satellite interface for tracking, coordinating and relay

• Screechers: Sonic wave devices capable of emitting several types of sound to disable and incapacitate large groups

• Holographic and stealth capability

• In the interior of the ship is a number of UNTIL issued weaponry at the Protectors' disposal

• PORTAL enabled technology, allowing it to open gateways between most large cities

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
