Looking for Group (Union)

Hi, i'm a relatively new player (I played a 14 day trial on the american servers and then a 14 day trial on the uk ones and have now upgraded to the full version.) I'm looking for a RP based supergroup that would fit in with my character. (It may seem odd but I'm really looking for a group that my character would fit into rather than standing out like a sore thumb.)

Some info on my character : Brett Bastion was born different from the other children in his neighbourhood. He never got sick, he never got hurt and by his teenage years he had grown to gigantic proportions. As he got older he found his powers developed in more and more interesting ways, and inspired by his comic book heroes, he himself donned a costume and started to use his powers to defend the citizens of Paragon City.

Platinum Guardian is a mutation tanker loosely based around the Superman/Captain Marvel (DC rather than Marvel) style of hero. He's currently at lvl 15 and his power sets are Invuln/Energy Melee and i've taken the super speed power pool. I also plan on taking the fitness and flying power pools and the Energy based Ancillary pool. It may seem odd to some that I'm taking 2 travel powers but i'm molding the powers around the character idea rather than the game (which i'm sure many roleplayers will appreciate.)

PG would fit in to any super-group that resembles the JSA and JLA as well as certain incarnations of the X-Men. He is your classic do-gooder hero type, clean cut, honourable, friendly and patriotic. He would be more suitable for the "costumed" super-group variety rather than the soldier-esque or futuristic (I'm saying he wears spandex ) styles and would even mesh fairly easily with Golden/Silver age groups. PG could also be a sidekick without it interfering with his story.

If anyone has any suggestions or (if i'm lucky) invites, please let me know here or contact me in-game via the global handle Platinum Guardian on the Union server.

(I know I posted this on the Union forum too, don't seem to be getting any replies so I thought I'd try here)

Thanks.

Heya, PG. Welcome to the RP community.

I would say, please, please, please, don't be disheartened by a lack of posts suggesting SGs that you might be suited to joining - this is not in any way meant to be an indication that the RPers aren't interested in your character.

Allow me to explain: Most of the RP supergroups will not take a new memeber on-board without first vetting them In Character. Essentially, the only way for your character to be invited to an existing SG is for him to meet existing members and then get invited. Realistically, the only way to do this would be for him to meet them, RP with them, interact, and then he may be invited, if the SG in question thinks that he would fit in.

We're certainly not doing this to make life difficult, but simply because doing it that way makes logical sense for the game world. And you never know, you may find that he actually fits in with a SG wildly different from your expectations, which offers the potential for even more interesting RP.

Also, take a look at the RP supergroup sticky at the top of this forum, peruse the details (and check through the whole thread to see if there are any updated details), and that should give you some contact details for players who may be able to help you further.

Above all, show up at the GG meets and wander into Pocket D ^^

Thanks for the replies guys, I wasn't looking for an actual invite, just an idea of where/when RPers tend to be so that i'd actually have the chance to roleplay in game. I'm certainly in favour of metting a group in character, but i've yet to come across anybody who is actually roleplaying LOL. I'll look around and again, thanks for the info.

Roleplaying in game, as in PuGs (pick up groups) is exceptionally rare. There are, however, RPSGs who do in character missions together. They're probably your best bet.

I suppose I shoul rephrase my question somewhat. Where do the main roleplaying groups tend to frequent when they aren't off doing missions? I've been in Pocket D a few times with noone else being there at all, and what is "GG?" I'd imagine my chances of meeting a group will be much higher if I can actually find some roleplayers (which I haven't in game so far on the Union server.)

'GG' is the statue of galaxy girl in galaxy city, just behind the city hall.

GG tends to start about 9ish GMT.

Pocket D, usually a bit earlier.

OK thanks for the info, I'll look out for the meetings and hopefully find some fun people to roleplay with

Is it possible to start a new thread which lists the current RP SG's please ?

The RP SuperGroup sticky thread is still current. As far as I know, the supergroups listed there (particularly the earlier ones) are still going strong.

My personal recommendation, then, is to head to Galaxy City at around 9.00pm (UK time) and see what happens.
