Question about Vigilantes

I have a random question: How would vigilantes (when they go to the Rogue Isles) do missions there? I was thinking some would rather see Hardcase get shot in the face than help him, or the casino get burned down. I have several vigilantes in their late 30's and some of the missions they have would rather kill the contact or help him then shoot the contact. Any ideas on this would work? Or will there be new contacts for vigilante types?



P.S.

Let me shoot Hardcase in the face.

I think it'll just be a case of the players chosing to help the current Villain contatcs or not - murdering contacts doens't seem to be a feature of GR

Yeah, this is just one of those things, like when I screwed up and started the Ambassador Kur'Rekt story arc on Praetorian Grey... Who despite being very different from Lady Grey, would pretty much in-character prefer snapping his genetically enhanced neck rather than do his missions (She has a rather ruthless outlook on the Rikti).

Or how Ectsacy of Gold would in-character happily face down Recluse and all three of his lieutenants and the prospect of certain and painful death rather than stop Scirocco at the end of the hammer of the World arc...

Sometimes you gotta just finish the arc and pretend you never started it for in-character continuity. Both of them will be switching from full villain to rogue ASAP.

Interestingly, the Rogue doesn't seem to find these same kinds of snags working with the contacts of Paragon City as much as the Vigilante who deals with the Islanders...

Darn Vigilantes coming to our Isles, stealing our Contacts!

Well, there are quite a few missions blue side that are labeled "Hero", and quite a few labelled "Villain". More tellingly, there are missions that are NOT. So I'm guessing that the limitation will be that the "Hero" missions are mainly for Heroes, and Villains will be excluded.

Where "neutrals" fit in depends on a couple of things. If it's as an earlier poster described it, and Vigilante/Preatorian/Rogue are all the same thing, then probably they will be excluded from Hero/Villain missions. You will have to be either a "pure" Hero, or a Villain that has side switched all the way to the Hero side to get into those missions.

If Vigilante/Preatorian/Rogue is a scale of "greyness", and you work your way across it through arcs to change your alignment, then I would guess Vigilantes will get access to the Hero missions, and Rogues to the Villain, but Preatorians don't get either. They may have "Neutral" missions that are either unique to them, or are tied to the Vigilantes/Rogues moving themselves more towards the center.

I like the latter idea better because it will take you more time to get from one side to the other, and there are more combinational possiblities (like you can go to the blue side and do Hero missions, but red side Villain missions are locked to you) but if Neutral is Neutral no matter what it is called, that's still okay too.

Newspaper missions. Vigilantes will find lots of people to kill on newspaper missions.

Other than that they don't really belong in Rogue Isles. Sure there are plenty of targets but that is like paradropping behind enemy lines because it is target rich there. More isn't always better. A Vigilante in Rogue isles would have to keep a very low profile or appear to be a villain enough to quell suspicion. Some of the arcs like Hardcases really aren't evil well most of his missions anyway.

Remember that not all Vigilantes will approve of Heros either. Some will see ANYONE lording their power over others as a target (whether that makes sense or not). My toon Arbitrary Justice is like that. In Comics you have people like Foolkiller who don't play by everyone else's rules, but see themselves as a force for Justice.
