They finished at the range, Sgt Holman ran them over to mobility. They had an assigment, and extra duty to preform. "Private Stilwel you and the rest of the unit have motor pool duty for the rest of the day. You will be responsible to make sure all these vehicles are serviced, washed and cleaned. do you understand."

Stilwel grinned "Sir yes Sir."

Sgt Holman smiled turning to Santos and Jonahs. "You two goldbricks get to join me. We get to navigate the bog you have sweeping duty, and after that We got escort duty. Well ladies what are you waiting for lets move it draw your weapons from the armory and meet me at the orange gate double time now!"

Santos looked at Jonahs with a scowl, Jonahs grinned and ran towards the armory.
"You heard the Sgt he said double time Santos."
Santos sprinted to keep up.

An hour later they had cleared the small section of the bog they had been assigned, and were cleaning their weapons., drawing new ammo, and getting ready for escort duty. They would be transported to a gate and slip into a hazzard zone to to assist with possible transport of vampyr into the zone for additional security. Jonahs drove one of the trucks with equiptment, with Sgt Holman and Santos riding guard.

It was late afternoon when they arrived at the Crey facility the Sgt had them unloading equipment and was assigned a unit to look after while they were there.

Santos and Jonahs did what they did best, unload trucks and carry boxes. They were carrying the last set of boxes into the complex as Sgt Holman posted sentrys and the rest of them as guards. They were still walking deeper into the complex, unaware that they had been infiltrated, two sentries were already down.

Ryan Stilwel, was a tall lankey man, who had served several years in the US Army. He'd recently been discharged for conduct unbecoming of an officer. It didn't matter anymore he finally found his way out of the bottle and into something even better. He was in line to be an officer again. "Ok you slobs you heard the Sarge form it up on Santos."

Stilwel checked the lines. "Let do this right and maybe we can avoid extra drill. Ready March, Double Time March!"

The group started running. *At least it looked like a controlled mob.* Stilwel thought. "Stay in line follow the man in front of you. Keep up."

Sarge was waiting tapping his foot he smiled, he'd half expected them to come in waves. Stilwel had them at least running in a unit formation, that was something, He made a mark on Stilwel's paperwork.

"Ok real simple recruits, time for you shooters to shine the rest of you just try to hit the target.

Santos, Jonahs, Stilwel, first postion pick up the weapon, check and make sure it's loaded, kneeling position aim and fire.

Sarge looked at his watch they were already ahead of schedual He would let them take there time here. He only wanted the best to get markmanship training. Sniper school followed if they lasted the long haul.

"Next Three" He called over to the spotter for scores and marked the forms.

The extra duty affored them a few minutes to discover that they didn't like each other. Or better put Santos hated Jonahs, and Jonahs didn't care.

The water was hot Santos brought over the dishes and Jonahs washed.
"Look I don't know you, Ishmael, and I really don't want to, I got a wife and kids, I need this payday, you understand." Santos said bring him the last pot.

"So it's not like I picked you either but you and me have been put together so deal with it." he looked at Javier. "Done now lets see if you can make us any more bonus money."

The two of them double timed it to the exercise grounds where the others were finishing it up.

the drill sgt grinned, "Oh look who it is the moneybag and the stooge, You privates are late extra duty and he smiled if these two beat you guys through the 'O' course you get to do their extra duty. Well ladies what are you waiting for. Move it."
Yelled Sgt Holman.

*Raw recruits* Sgt Holman flipped through the chart, Javier Santos dock worker forman, forklift operator, laid off two months ago. Wife Maria, two childern Anna and Margie. Possible strengths hand to hand combat. He flipped to the next page and spit. Ishmael Jonahs, mutant schedual to go to the dogpound unless he shapes up. Ex con 'life sentence' reduced down to three years Mexican jail for drugs and manslaughter. Payout was 250,000 us dollars. He looked at both men leading the pack through the 'O' where does a slub like that get that kinda dough. Sgt Holman shouted, "We don't have all day, I got to send someone to the pound, last man goes."

None of them knew what it was, but no one liked the sound of it so they all ran faster. Santos hit the climbing wall first and was up and over with Jonahs right behind him. He didn't falter he reached down and pulled him up and over the wall, yelling "Jump and Run you Bast...!!!!" as he leap down. Jonahs followed right behind him and they sprinted to the end with the rest of the unit behind them. Both men were breathing heavy.

Sarge laughed. "Ok extra duty for the whole unit. Bonus to Private Jonahs and Santos. Ok grab a drink and double time it to the range, Move it people I don't have all day and lucky for you all I didn't see the last one run up. I still gotta send someone to the dogpound I'll know by the end of the day." Turning he shouted:

"Stilwel form them up and get them moving asap, I'm waiting."

The sgt jumped in a jeep and started heading towards the range.

Javier Santos sat next to the others. He didn't care one way or the other about the Council, this was going to be his first paycheck in 2 months. The Quartermaster would simply deposit it into his bank account and his wife could pay the bills. A hot meal and paid. He hadn't even done anything yet, he knew this was too good to be true.

It didn't matter though, ever since the Family and the Warriors moved into Striga nobody got to work steady anymore. If the Council could get rid of them, then he'd return to the docks in a heartbeat. Javier thought about losing his job right before the holidays his kids and wife had to do with little, he himself had done without. He still had the bottle cap picture frame of his wife and two girls.

Now he was stuck with this joker, Ishmael. Who was probably going to get him killed for sitting at the table eating loudly while the big guy was upfront talking.

The speaker in the black uniform had paused twice already, looking directly at them. "So, in conclusion, look at the man or woman next to you. They will be your partner. If they pull extra duty, you pull extra duty, If they get bonus pay, you get bonus pay. If they run into a hero and fight, You had better hope he wins."

He was pacing back and forth as he spoke, and stopped staring at Javier. "Whats the name of the person next to you?"

Javier froze, *please* he thought, his eyes shifted from Ishmael to the other guy hoping for a hint.

Ishmael who had been hovering over his plate, eating inmate style, looked up at the Recruiter. "His names Javier." He was about to put another bite of food in when he looked back at the Recruiter. "Sir." And smiled.

"Ishmael, Sir, his name is Ishmael." Javier shot Ishmael a look of contempt, who simply grinned at him and shrugged while finishing his food.

The Recruiter smiled. "See team work, Both men paying attention and Recruit Jonahs drawing extra duty for the pair, while Recruit Santos draws them a bonus."

Jonahs almost stood up, but Santos placed a hand upon his arm, nodding. He pushed his empty plate away and finished his coffee. Neither man had liked being made an example of.

(ooc note: Tales from the Council is a rp story involving a hero with possible guest starring heroes and setting up possible villians to be introduced into other storylines at a later date. It's not normally thought of but even villians have mothers, wives or other family members this story has changed since I first wrote it and is still evolving. Enjoy all. )

The Place: Striga Isle
The time: sometime very early morning

Long Jack had directed him to the right place. The early morning work on the docks was hard and the weather wet and cold. Lx pulled the collar up on his longshoreman jacket and dug his hands deep into the pockets. He had been standing next to a blazing fire barrel with several other out of work dock men talking about work, food and the stupid heroes who had nothing better to do then to mess up everyone’s lives.

Lx thought while the others continued talking around the barrel. His mindset was slowly changing.

“So you want in?” Javier Santos, one of the other asked. Lx nodded, holding his hands near the heat.

Lx hadn’t done anything like this since Mexico. Even with all the heroes around here in Paragon they were still playing catch up. It was time to call the ball.

“Hey I’m talking to you, you coming or what, Ishmael?” said Santos.

“Yeah,” he replied and shuffled with the others into the back of the truck.

The truck drove them across the island to a warehouse, nothing fancy, all thirty-seven of them got out into the warm building. The smell of fresh hot coffee and food drifted in the building.

“Follow me and sign the logbook.” They stood in line, each taking their turn. Javier Santos signed before Ishmael Jonahs. Then they were ushered through the chow line. As they sat eating, several figures walked out onto the platform.

“We have a busy day today, so eat up quickly.”

Then a broad shouldered man stepped forward in his crisp black uniform and spoke loudly for all to hear.

I think it is Virtue that is the unofficial RP server.
Pinnacle seems to be a close second with groups such as the CCCP (RP SG) and the RP Congress (collection of SGs and RPers). Both have nice websites and forums. I am sure one of them will be along soon to provide a link.
Or look for a post by RedDjinni (should be on page 1 or 2 here).

I know Virtue has roleplayers, but with a few toons there myself, I haven't really run across any. Of course, I haven't checked out Galaxy City, which is where I hear they all congregate. I'm interested to know how RP happens on Virtue. Are there areas to just go and be in-character? Or are there SGs that try to put together plots and on-going stories and such?

As for the RP Congress, of which the CCCP is one of the charter SGs, aye, we're still open to accepting roleplayers who want to add a little more flavour to their gaming than just "kill...level...kill...level". We're mostly on Pinnacle and there are in fact many interactive plots happening all the time.

Well we on Liberty have a role playing community. It's loosely base, We basicly respond in-character if approached in-character, not everyone RPs, but thats every server. But I will say IMHO that Liberty has always been one of the friendliest servers I've ever been on, as always YMMV

Remember be a Hero!

(ooc: Hey added even more info. then I planned )

Seith wound up staying longer then he expected. Even he was slightly wowed at the amount of Parents and Kids who showed up. He thought as he possed; *It's not like I'm the Stateman or anything.* As the line finally died down and a six pack of coke later, Seith was done. "Hey Tony, you were right it was a very good day." Tony smiled " Hey no problem Kid think I can get a pic." Seith laughed "Sure thing." He walked and Stood shaking hands with Tony as his wife took the picture. "Hey we'll have to do it again sometime." Tony said. "Yep But I have to go, maybe next time I'll bring my team. If you ever need anything Tony give me a call." Seith walked out of the comic shop activating his com and smiling. "Hello Beautiful, whats next on the schedual?"

Pulling himself together American Valor flys over to the professor Begins to laugh, pulling the thread to the line... 'Gas leak' .......

Huh? Is there a gas leak in this thread

American Valor riding through this thread on his lawnmower runs over the ProfEinstien killing him and mulching him into the lawn where his bits and pieces are eatend by the birds for not killing anything. Then his lawnmower runs over Mary Ann as well since he just killed the professor and the song goes the Professor and Mary Ann....

I guess it would be based on the character. I have extreme characters in both directions and a middle of the road character. My extreme serious character isn't sad he just feels that the Job of being a hero is serious work. But he can laugh, and if you get him to laugh you made a friend for life. My other character doesn't take anything serious ant least that what he would have you believe. He loves having a good time and joking around, but when it's time for action he's all business, and then my middle of the road character is just that. His big failing is he doesn't know how to be one of the guys, but he tries. Science geek that managed to become a Jock Hero, but has no Idea how to be cool. He can be fun to play. But Thats just my take on things. Ok good luck and remember to Be a Hero!

I'm definate old school I thought it was pretty stright foward and didn't really read anything into it. Simple to the point and fun. And thats what I'm all about. You can use the idea of ultra fem, but really I think it just fine how it is. always remember you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Just have fun, and Remember to Be A Hero!

Seith and Tis head over to Tony's Comic Book Store the place seem to be pretty vacant. They walk in seeing Tony, Seith heads over to him. Tis begins browsing the shelves checking out all the different titles they have.

" Hello, I'm Kid Valor you can call me Seith. You must be Tony." Seith extends his gloved hand and Shakes Tony's hand. "Glad to meet you, I was thinking I could sign a few autographs on the 5x7, and sign the 8x10 so you could auction them off for your favorite charity. We could do some Photo ops with the kids and for Wally, he loves that kinda stuff. Also I can come by and do the instore signing whenever you want. We just need to make a working schedual is all. Seith smiles.


"You got a nice store here Tony."
Seith looks around a bit and grabs a couple back issues of Defense League 47, 93. [color=skyblue ] "Dude these are totally excellent issues, I'll take em." [/color] Calling over to Tis. " Hey did you find anything you want?" Tis holds up a couple dvds. "Yea." "Those also, She's my girl." Seith says with a huge smile on his face. While Tony rings them out, Tis baps Seith on the back of his head playfully with the dvds. Seith grins at her, then turns back to Tony. "Hey It was nice meeting you Tony, We'll talk more later."

Wally Wonderment spoke at length to Tony. This was going to be a great thing, Heroes helping Heroes, The kids love meeting heroes and getting things signed. He knew the subject of the Paragon Times article was going to come up but Wally knew the way to work that angle, If nothing else he was a promoter. " Listen Tony that article was written by Betty Dell, Kid failed to save her sister, so she has it out to ruin him. Mrs Dell blames him for her sisters death. If you were to ask Kid he'd tell you himself he would have traded places with her in a heartbeat. Mrs Dell won't have any of that, she and her family don't care that Kid Valor was not found guilty of any wrong doing, and that he is a proven hero of the city. I'm sure you'll be reading even more stories as she tried to drag him through the mud. Anyway Look Tony, just meet the Kid, trust me. He's the real deal. I'm gonna send over a box of Promo Items and you and the Kid can set up times or what not. Hows that sound. Great! Talk at you soon. Bye Wally hung up the phone and dialed up the delivery agent and had the promo box shipped and delivered within the hour.
(The box contained a life size cardboard figure of Kid Valor, a box of common Hero Clix figures of Kid Valor as a member of New Justice, 50 promo comic books title: New Justice #1 and two stacks of 5x7 and 3 8x10s of Kid Valor.)

Just as Tony was finishing looking at the contents of the box In walked Kid Valor and Tis.

Marketing Agent Wally Wonderment, hears that there is a new Comic Book Store opening and run by a Hero. *Excellent, Heres a chance for a little pr work to help out two heroes* he thinks. Wally picks up his phone and calls 'The Wonderful Kid Valor.' " Hey Kid I want you to head over to this address, I'm gonna ship over some promo items, Its A comic book shop, before you tell me your too busy, hear me out the place is run by a Hero. Go in and introduce yourself, Then you can do a free signing and help him promote his Store. You'll look great, and even Hero Corp will like the good press. I'm your agent Kid Trust me." Kid had just woken up mid morning. The movie fest lasted all night and all he did was nod while Wally had been talking. Finally Wally stopped. " Um yea sure thing, But just call him first to make sure its ok, I'll head there after we eat." Kid Hung up the com. Wally smiled and buzzed the comic shop. " Hello, Tony."
