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

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 and an exciting new future on the cards, 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 heroes, sorcerers and aliens alike. 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 crimefighters. What All-Star wasn't expecting, however, was for his partner to spring the concept of founding their own group on him. Though All-Star isn't entirely sure what he's gotten himself into on this one, he offers Sparrowhawk his full support and does what he can to help the Protectors whenever he's available.

C.O.P.

Name: Construct Optimized for Peacekeeping Unit 18 of 20
Abilities: Incredible strength and 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

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. Hand picked by Sparrowhawk to be one of the charter members because of her potential, Dobergirl hopes she can prove that she made the right choice.

His brother eventually went missing and Hisashi was given an offer by a group that would help in searching for him, provided that Hisashi join them. Distraught, Hisashi accepted. 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 was forced to become 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, gaining quite a bit of fame while he operated in Japan before immigrating to United States.

RAZIRA

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.

SENTINEL

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.

SPARROWHAWK

Rank: Mission Leader

Alex Harper was born a prodigy with a genius IQ, a talent to learn quickly as well as a hyperthymestic memory. She grew up to become 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 the super heroine Sparrowhawk, Alex saw a need for a strong, efficient team that had a diverse array of skills to handle any number of threats posed. While never much of a 'team player', Sparrowhawk found strength through her partner All-Star to make her ideas reality. With his encouragement and support they decided to create the Protectors. Its goal was simple: an organization of highly trained heroes who would be the first line of defense to combat world crises. She currently heads the group in a 'mission control' type capacity, assigning teams for conflicts as they are needed to ensure their success. While sometimes behind the scenes, she is more than ready and capable of getting her hands dirty on the field. While Sparrowhawk can have a very direct, bossy and sometimes even rude demeanor that she continues to work on improving, she deeply cares about both the team and the ideals that they are based upon.

Honorary Membership

Have you participated as a Honorary Protector in an event? Feel free to add your character information!

Scroll down to read honorary member bios:

• Ada Clover: 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...

• Citadel: aka Garret Brennar, an alien convinced that he is a mutant since the age of twelve. Supposedly born in the suburbs of Detroit, Garret had been gifted with a rapidly-expanding intellect that enabled him to pursue a Master's Degree in Applied Robotics and Cybernetics at a relatively young age, and he utilizes this intellect to craft himself a suite of personal gadgets and powered exoskeletons. Having discovered a top-secret bunker purely by accident underneath the floor of his basement apartment, Garret found a variety of abandoned tech and the plans for what he would soon dub the TITAN Power Armor. Garret, as Citadel, aided the Protectors in the Battle over Brasilia and has, since, remained in an honorary support capacity.

• Desperado: Westside lawman Desperado was instrumental in taking down Steel Lariat, a nemesis of his when he discovered his family's names were revealed publicly. Assisting the Protectors to uncover the secrets of the 175, rumor has it he has went into retirement rather than put his loved ones at further risk.

• Extractor: aka Garreth Koenig, was born Cardiff, Wales. Garreth's family moved to the United States when he was a child in order to be closer to doctors that specialized in Garreth's affliction, Muscular Dystrophy. A natural genius, Garreth's intellect was enhanced as a result of an experimental cure, which also granted him the ability to absorb, utilize, and project energy. Rather than become a hero immediately, Garreth pursued a doctoral degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry under the supervision of UNTIL. Using a pair of personal teleportation devices that he helped invent in college, Garreth became Extractor, and is often on call for UNTIL when they need a hero who is able to get to crisis zones quickly - which is how he came to work with the Protectors.

• Grimoire: aka Moira Graves. 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.

• Knight Watch: Knight Watch assisted the Protectors during the assault upon the Barlowe Building by the Datamen. He soon took Honorary membership in the Protectors.

• Paradigm: Originally an Olympic track & field star, Dawn Ryan was chosen by the Spirit of Humanity at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Given that her newly found superpowers ended her career as an athlete, she took some time to herself before returning as the hero Paradigm in late 2002. Since then, she's served as a tireless defender of the Earth against threats both terrestrial and not. Since becoming Paradigm, she's done battle with various deadly forces; the Red Legion, the alien species known as the Crog, and perhaps most impressively, the demon lord of Sloth, Belphegor. Paradigm has recently returned from 'inactive' status to 'honorary' status with the Protectors after dealing with a galactic threat.

• Quintessence: Manon Tessier is a superheroine coming from France. Manon very briefly worked alongside the team as an active member before leaving to pursue outside interests, finally joining with Eternals, Inc. She currently holds Honorary membership with the Protectors should they need her.

• Riptide:

"I've got plenty of bang for your buck."

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.
