Man, I wonder why I seem to worry so much about this. Thanks for the reassurance.
Dunno what happened here: I was making by bio on Ouroportal for NatCap and the page "expired" before I had a chance to save. All that hard work was gone, but I replaced some of the important bits for now. Former hockey player for the Sens sounded fun. (I prepare to be summarily executed as a traitor ._.)
Like I said before, I'll try to be on Wednesday (or even Thursday), evening-ish PST.
What archetypes are you looking for. I'm Canadian eh and interested as well. Let me know and I will see what I can come up with.

In truth the impetus behind this is to give heroes who sport the Maple Leaf a place to gather together and occasionally run missions etc. Time permitting, I am planning to create a hockey themed MA arc that focuses on a group of Villains called the Original Six. |

Any archetypes are welcome. The only thing we ask is that the Hero be a Canadian. I think it would be pretty cool for a bunch of crazy Canadians to make a public appearance in AP sporting the Leaf. I'm also very curious to see how many ways people can create a unique look for a Canadian hero.
The Northern Watch category page at Virtueverse has links at the bottom to Pinwheel, Weapon Canuck and Safeguard. Looking forward to seeing all the rest who have piped up in this thread.
Is the maple leaf a necessity? I ask because the fleur de lys is also available. Nice for creating French-Canadian/Quebec themed heroes.
Challenge yourselves to think about national symbols that represent Canada. Ive been trying for ages to get the look just right for an Aboriginal character Ive been working on. Mounties are distinctly Canadian and they dont wear a maple leaf.
Just suggesting.

I actually had a Québécois character for a while but deleted her. She had a blue and white costume with the fleur de lys on the chest. I would consider that a valid regional costume like my Weapon Canuck's alternate. |

There are a few other looks that would certainly be distinctly Canadian without the maple leaf. Mounties being an obvious one, definitely.
When you gonna be on Dj? I created a hero, and want to join, he's a tank, Sgt. Major Force. I am in the ET zone, so let me know a good time to log in.

I also almost made a French-Canadian character with the same style. It was going to be a speedster and I was going to name it - Nordique or if it had been female - French Kiss, but I never went through with it.| I actually had a Québécois character for a while but deleted her. She had a blue and white costume with the fleur de lys on the chest. |
Ive also been giving thought to creating an underwater themed character with scales and such and naming it Ogopogo, after the legendary Canadian monster.

I am hoping to be on tonight after 9pm pst, but that's pretty late for you. It would be nice to get a few of you in so that we would have more people capable of inviting the others rather than relying on my somewhat tight schedule right now. |

I also need to remember when I am in to /bug the fact that I can't get into the base editor.
@Safeguard go Nords! Pinwheel's actual name is Jennifer Sakic

Im on eastern time but usually play later at night so I will look for you tonight. Hopefully, I can catch you on and ease some of the burden of inviting people.
Let me know a time that is good then Safeguard, and I would love to join and start making the team and Canada proud.
Tonight is out for me, I have a tourney at 6. I'll catch up with you guys on Thursday.
By the way, I went through the registrar and noticed there's two "Northern Watch" SGs on Virtue. Is yours the one that has the description and a "The" in the title?
I have a static team on Thursday nights, but it only starts at 9ET, so let me know if you will be on before then. Sgt. Major Force is ready to make the Team and Canada proud.
Added Pinwheel XIII as a friend, so hopefully I can get in touch with you in the next day or two. Rumbled onto level 7 tonight.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Pinwheel, Weapon Canuck and Safeguard are now all in the SG. All three can invite.
I'm having a hellish time because I decided to add 2GB ram to my PC and then upgrade to Windows 7 because COH was crashing without warning. Now it is basically unplayable. I will be grabbing a new video card in the next couple days.
I will definitely be on at some point between 6 and 10pm est tonight. So if you see me on, send me a tell and I will shoot you an invite.
My character's name is Safeguard.
Will anybody be on at friday night with an approximate time, i am stoked about joining.
I now temporarily have no internet via my computer, so I'm on a forced break. I'll try to get back up and running within the week, but for now I've linked National Capital's page to the category on VV.
This is too inconvenient, no?

I'm picking up a new graphics card after work and with luck I will be on for a couple hours around 4:00pm Pacific.

Added Canadarms to VirtueVerse and Northern Watch. Not much at the moment, but I'll put more up as I get to it.

@Starflier
Looking good there, Starflier. I liked the description of him: made me laugh after spending my time at a tourney being absolutely bored. I can end my day on a good note.
My net's back. Anyone going to be on Sat or Sun evening PST? I want to get the joining process over with.

My new graphics card works like a charm so I will be on after 9pm PST Saturday night. I created myself a little bubbler named Canadian Mint the other night and got her added to the group today. |

Odds are I'll be playing on Weapon Canuck to start Saturday night.
Who else might you be on as?
Sgt. Major Force is a lvl14 tank, looking to join.

I should be on again tonight. I've been playing on my new bubbler Canadian Mint a lot with my son. I'll add Sgt. to my friends list and watch for you. Mint can't invite at this point, so I'd need to switch to Pinwheel XIII or Weapon Canuck to invite. |

My character is a MA/Shield scrapper but as dj13 wrote, dont worry about it, we all have alts we can use. Play what you like, its all about having fun.
