Renzer Scientific Inc. and Subsidiaries (Signup)
An example character follows:
Paragon City Registered Hero Name: Solar Freeze
Origin: Technology
Powers: Solar Freeze uses a suit of technological armor to affect the temperature of objects around him. He can change the temperature of the target enough to spontaneously create fire or ice.
Backstory: During a high school trip to Renzer Scientific, Incorporated, teenager Albert Rensen wandered off, looking for a restroom, and got lost. He stumbled upon a laboratory where Renzer scientists were fiddling with a strange Rikti device. As Rensen watched, the device activated. At first nothing seemed to have happened, but soon after, Albert discovered information in his head that had not been in there before the accident. In a panic, Albert fled to Paragon City, where he became uncomfortable with the level of crime, even with the omnipresent hero population. Slowly beginning to sort through the confused jumble of information in his head, Albert pieced together a suit of armor and registered as a hero in Paragon City, taking the name "Solar Freeze."
OOC: I is such an RP schizophrenic.
BIC:
Registered Villain ID: Toy Dispenser
Origin: Technology
Powers: Toy Dispenser controls a small, elite team of robots, and is equipped with a pulse laser rifle, two powerful shield generators, and various other devices. He has also been trained by Scirocco to utilize the strange red electricity that crackles over his body.
Backstory: A mercenary by trade and desire, Toy Dispenser has done a few jobs for Renzer before. Coming highly recommended, Toy Dispenser took several difficult tasks and managed to pull them off successfully. After spending a short while rejecting any missions sent his way from numerous sources, Toy Dispenser is once again back on the market and looking for lucrative deals.
Actual backstory in link.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
You are in no way constrained to playing actual characters on the CoH games. You may create your own powers and heroes, subject to my approval.
You may also play Peacebringers or Warshades.
You may "write yourself in" to Renzer history, as long as I approve the backstory. So if you wish, you may be a Renzer experiment or employee, as long as I approve your character.
Edit: And Khellendrosiic, I love Toy Dispenser. He is most definitely in.

Renzer Scientific, Incorporated is a scientific research firm respected the world over for their highly innovative insights into the scientific world. Renzer has patented thousands of ideas and develpoed technology that has improved the lives of millions. They have a department - the Renzer Scientific Hero Relations Department - devoted entirely to fighting crime in Paragon City, using operatives equipped with superior technology as registered heroes. However, Renzer has a darker side...
Renzer is one of the less savory corporations in existence. They have avoided scandal so far, but that is simply because most of what they do is secret, hidden even from most of the employees. Illegal genetic experimentation, kidnapping, and blackmail are all on the resumes of their most successful researchers and managers.
Some of the illegal deeds that Renzer has done may be about to come to light...
In this RP, all of the main characters are in some fashion related to Renzer Scientific, Inc. Anyone wishing to join will quickly become involved with the darker side of Renzer, either combatting it (as heroes) or aiding it (as villains or as the unwitting dupes of Renzer Hero Relations Dept.).
