Union - Servants of Recluse!
Sounds like ace fun, pity I've only just started running around shouting IC stuff as my villian
((Im up for this qith LQT, havent RPd alot with him yet and want to start fleshing out his thoughts on Arachnos and the Patrons and Recluse.
Warning: This villain may come with sarcasm and a distaste towards all. ))
Servants of Recluse!
Too long we have been biding our time; too long we have been holding ourselves back, keeping us away from our true purpose! As Destined Ones we are to rise above this, we are to go beyond what anyone could possibly imagine; to make the world stand up and take note of what we are capable of! To this end I ask - no, demand - you follow me into Paragon itself; to ravish the hypocritical forces of Longbow, to sweep aside their puny law enforcement....to draw out their champion, "Statesman".
He is powerful - true! - but Recluse is watching us, his Patrons are blessing us. Arachnos itself has cast its gaze upon our every action; to humiliate the Freedom Phalanx in their own city would be a great boon. With the legendary Heroes fallen in our stride, what would there be to stop us?!
Prove yourself to Him, or else be forgotten.
OOC:
OK, apologies for the rather incoherent IC rant there.
This idea has been on my mind for a while, and I've finally decided to commit it to the forum.
With few people being above level 45 at the moment (thus very few being legible for Recluse's Strikeforce), I was thinking of putting together an eight man, maximum difficulty group for a Mayhem Mission in Grandville; it would be done completely In Character, and the end goal is - as mentioned above - to humiliate the Freedom Phalanx and their allies.
Depending how many people take to this - and how the event itself goes - I might very well extend things with a small storyline in the future, that should hopefully encourage some Hero/Villain cross-faction Roleplay.
As it stands, I don't have a specific date in mind for the event, but if enough people respond we can easily come up with a time suitable for everyone involved.
One thing to bear in mind: as long as you're willing to make this enjoyable for others, I do not care what level you are. I have TP friend for a reason, and we can easily lackey people that are low in level. My main motivation for this isn't to carry things off with the ultimate skill and power, it's to see eight villains screeching and whooping as they tear apart Paragon.
Finally, in the unlikely event more than seven others sign up, we can easily run the groups alongside one another, or make multiple runs with different members.
Hopefully I've made sense.
/EDIT - Just to mention something Augury pointed out: the AV/Hero buff. Yes, I'm well aware of it, but I do honestly think we could defeat the Hero even if the change isn't removed. If you're not comfortable with debt, however, then it's probably not a good idea for you to sign on.
