Nocturnals
The Nocturnals could be described - both in and out of character - as a spiritual successor of the defunct Moonlighters. They're a street-level supergroup that emphasise smarts and sleuthing as much as straightforward fisticuffs. Of course, that's not to say there isn't plenty of the latter. At the end of a long night of stakeouts and schemes, there's nothing quite so satisfying as delivering your archnemesis a good, old-fashioned knuckle sandwich. It's also important to note that the tone of the Nocturnals may be a shade darker than your regular four-colour superhero team but it's not bleak, hopeless or - dare we say - grimdark. The Nocturnals are at times brutal and uncompromising, harbour shaky relations with the authorities and are all too willing to break a few eggs to make an omelette, but they most assuredly aren't rampaging psychopaths. Sure, others might question their methods, their legality, maybe even their sanity - but in the end, they're fundamentally the good guys.
If that's piqued your interest, you might want to have a look at our forum.
A motley band of vigilantes hailing from all walks of life; of varied temperments, tactics and philosophies, united in a single-minded pursuit of justice. Theirs is the world that lies beneath the glitz and glamour, in the shadow of the towering skyscrapers; a world of bullets, blades and brutal beatdowns. A world where quick wits, insight and hard-boiled detective skills are just as invaluable as science and superpowers. Cloaked in darkness, the Nocturnals stalk the rooftops and shady alleyways. Ever-vigilant, nothing escapes their notice. Often out of sight but rarely out of mind, they're not about to let their city go to the dogs. Not tonight.
No fanfare proclaimed their arrival, no sweeping statements. They didn't even bother to make a brief announcement over the CRP network. No, they were content to let others do the talking for them - often with mouths full of blood and broken teeth. Knowledge of their existence simply trickled in over time - from the criminals, ordinary and metahuman, unfortunate enough to find themselves at the recieving end of the group's particular brand of justice. No deaths have thus far been reported, but their activities and lack of oversight have not endeared the group to the authorities. Police aren't overfond of wildcards.
A loose-knit network of costumed vigilantes - all the better to stay under the radar. They all have their solo agendas, their one-man crusades, their vendettas. But they share; info, resources, tactics - it all goes on the table. And when the big threats strike, they band together. And together they're unstoppable.
