Supergroup (Hero) Directory Jan '10 - July '10

Name: The Lightning Strike Initiative

Currently Recruiting: Yes

RP Level: RP-intensive. Though we tend to joke around a lot OOCly, missions and time spent together always involves RP.

PvP Level: A couple of members PvP. Not required even a little.

Theme/Concept: A group of friends that have banded together to be casual type heroes and have a good time hanging out together. Always looking to expand their circle of friends.

Activity: It's a fairly new group, but depending on the time of day there's usually at least two people on. The group also hangs out with a couple of other, small groups. So they can usually all be found clumped together in the D. (If you hate the D, this isn't the group for you, as we tend to spend some time there.)

Requirements for Membership: You can wear whatever uniform you want, but when we're doing stuff together, we'd like it to be in SG colors! (Black, White and Gold.) No character under 16 years old.

Leadership: Jordan Murphy, Xeden

In-Game Contact(s): Global @Liberty Darling (I'm on VERY often.)

Out-of-Game Contact(s): Send me a message on here or in game.
URL: the group's website

Coalition(s): The Midnight Refuge

Other Details: We tend to run at least one thing daily, be it a few missions, Ouroborus, badge runs, Ticket and merit runs. We'd love to get more members who are interested in doing TFs. Our base is mostly functional at this point, but we're still missing a few smaller things.

I think it's about time I added The House to this.

Name: The House of the Wayward Soul

Currently Recruiting: Absolutely Yes

RP Level: RP is prefered in certain channels as per the rules we have on our forums. Hwever, as we are relatively small group yet boast a number of alts (Used to boost prestige), it makes keeping things in RP a little difficult. So we're lax on that rule.

PvP Level: Not required even a little. Your choice.

Theme/Concept: A home for those who cannot fit into normal hero society or seek a refuge that differs from the usual 4-color groups./ We've taken in all kinds of folks from penguins and weevils to demons and former Carnies.

Activity: We've been around for a year, but we still have only a few active members (Although a number of alts). We'll take players from anywhere so times members are on may vary. We have an active coalition with The Dojo and constant friendly relations with The Legendary (although no coalition yet, though we're next in line when they do another purge and we share memberships throughout all three groups.). So we tend to team up alot with members from each.

Requirements for Membership: We have no actual uniforms so anything goes for your costume. So long as you're a friendly sort, we'll take most anyone.

Leadership: Silindria

In-Game Contact(s): Global @Baseload (I'm usually on after 7pm CST)

Out-of-Game Contact(s): Send me a message on here or in game.

URL: http://cohhws.proboards.com/index.cgi?

Coalition(s): The Moth Cemetary, The Dojo of the Immortal White Tiger, Songbird's Refuge, The Virtue League

Other Details: Think of the House as something of a superhero hostel. We don't care if you come and go and we're open to anyone. We only ask that you play well with others and have fun. We don't require SG Mode though it's encouraged to make the House a better place to live. Currently, our base is fully functional although there's alot of asthetic work that's being done. We also have a Build-Your-Own-Room program (thanks to Songbird's Refuge for the idea) where earning enough prestige can earn you your own plot (a 2 floor 2x1 @ 300k or a 3x3 for 1 mil) to design as you see fit (Assuming the prestige is there of course).

Name: The Global Defenders

Currently Recruiting: We are currently looking to recruit several interested parties into the Global Defenders.

RP Level: We are a Heavy to Medium RP group, just ask that any OOC chatter bracketed in SG, local, team, or any other channel that is not our OOC global channel.

PvP Level: Very casual, it is very rare that we do any PvP but some of our members do partake in it

Theme/Concept: The Global Defenders' theme is classic superheroes, inspired by the JLA and other close-knit teams from comics culture, but with wide latitude for costumes, powers, and backgrounds.

Activity: We have about 15 - 20 unique members ranging in different time zones, but mostly our peak times are after 6pm eastern during the weekdays and roughly anytime during the weekends

Requirements for Membership: We accept any level, archetype, and background to join. All Defenders and future recruits should do their best to have the proper spelling and formation of their creations’ names and should have their creations name sound like it comes from the Silver Age of comics.

Leadership: Irish Night, Golden Blizzard

In-Game Contact(s): @Omnikron, @Screaming Patriot, @Aiva

Out-of-Game Contact(s): Either PM me here or on our website
URL: http://theglobaldefenders.com

Coalition(s): Coalitioned with The Jadewire, Tavern on the Edge along with The Global Defender Reserves and our villain group Global Interdiction Directorate.

Other Details: We have a nicely equipped base with medical teleporters, teleporters to a large section of Paragon City. We have several nights for roleplay and supergroup teaming. We have started taskforce running for our members to enjoy the badge and experience fun. We ask that our members try to stay in supergroup mode as much as they can, this helps in the creation of new and exciting things for the base.

Name: Machine Protectors

Currently Recruiting: Yes, robot characters of any orgin (inc cyborgs) that are intersted in RP

RP Level: RP-friendly, RP-lite, base RP (when we get enough perst for all 3)

Name: The Headliners

Currently Recruiting: we exist, we're semi-recruiting but we're pretty closed off so you're going to have to impress us with your awesomeness if you want to be an offish member of the ELITE.

RP Level: RP-Intensive, story-driven RP, yeah bro RP

PvP Level: We PvP for RP reasons and sometimes for fun or when @Vince wants to

Theme/Concept: Famous, limelight hogging superheroes, generally with huge personality flaws, like an immoral Freedom Phalanx

Activity: We have a collective group that is usually active in the afternoons and nights

Requirements for Membership: you gotta...RP, and be super chill with all of us

Leadership: Rave Spider & Pyreblast

In-Game Contact(s): @Vince, @1337VV4ff135, @Johnny Turbo, @High Jinks

Out-of-Game Contact(s): uh, JohnnyTurbo is my forum handle

URL: http://virtueverse.com/index.php/The_Headliners

Other Details: Like I said, we're pretty closed off, but we're the most quality, chillest bros on Virtue, so yeah, don't you want a piece of THAT?

Johnny Turbo | Phanto
THE CHALLENGERS: Challenge Accepted
HONORARY MEMBER: WARE.gov (Said I couldn't officially join because I'm too good at PvP)

My friend's closing off the Paragon Clan of Gargoyles tomorrow due to a cutback in his activity levels, so I apologize if you had been looking into it. I'm planning to offer a similar themed-RPSG to open within the coming weeks, I'll use the template as a skeleton for now.

Name: (currently unnamed)
Currently Recruiting?: Yes, pre-orders available :P
RP-Level: Standard.
PvP Level?: None really planned, maybe for RP events.
Theme: Mainly to do with gargoyles (in order to continue the spirit of the theme dropped by the PCG). However, I'm willing to accept other concepts of magic and fantasy origin to flesh out the concepts... dragons, faeries, magic-powered automatons and etc.
Activity: Planned to be regularly active, after my break from the game for the front half of June. (My room is getting taken over: I can't help it!)
Requirements: I'm not much of a "have-to-do" sort of person as far as pres-earning and RP level goes: but as long as you can be active and participate when you can, anything is a plus!
Other info: Base and dedicated RP night (depending on what else I have going on IG) will be in the works.
Leaders: Rexifaldon
General IG Contact: @Epelesker
OG Contact: Send me a boards PM!
URL: Not sure if I want to go this route, since I already upkeep two of them (one not IG related).

Name: The Invictus Foundation

Currently Recruiting: Yes we are recruiting. Also, we're always interested in other players/SGs to weave storylines with as well as general RP

RP Level: RP-Heavy SG (I think that lends to self explanation)

PvP Level: We generally do NOT PvP, though we're not against it. Our most frequent use of PvP has been through RPvP arena events specifically tied to a storyline.

Theme/Concept: The Invictus Foundation is a Research & Development Organization first and foremost. We use our knowledge, skills and technology to aide in advancing and protecting Paragon City. Projects range from magical study & the arcane, to laboratory science, computer technology, machine technology, mutation study/enhancements, physical training studies, archeology and more.

Through our work in these areas, The Invictus Foundation has earned a reputation of trust with the various law enforcement agencies and communities. It's this reputation that calls us when there are people in need or trouble arises in our back yard.

Activity: This varies ... we have players on the east coast, west coast and some in between. Prime time is generally from 7PM - 11PM eastern. But again, this varies by day of the week as well. We have a core group of about 7-10 players and a variety of alts.

Requirements for Membership: Your character must fit in with the theme (which is broad enough). RPers only please! We also have an SG forums and it's asked that /all/ members access them regularly

Leadership: Daria St. Claire, Jet Falcon, Tempest Fist, Artemis's Siren, Deus Ex

In-Game Contact(s): @Tanklet, @Scrapperlock, @Crimson Ultimate, @Kissa-Kick, @Sunajus

URL: http://invictusfoundation.com/index.php

Coalition(s): The Dawn Academy - Daria St. Claire teaches here part time. Her daughter is also a student. For those two reasons and for training the new generation, The Invictus Foundation has taken part in helping watch over TDA.
Fennec Enterprises - Daria St. Claire is part shareholder in the software company that also serves as a private face supergroup.

Name: The Young Watchers

Recruiting? We're semi-recruiting. Generally, people find us because they need help.

RP-Level: RP-heavy

PvP? We leave PvP to parties involved if they'd like to play things out that way. We do not, of course, require it.

Theme/Concept: The Young Watchers is a halfway home for young people who just need a little help. Wanna be a good hero? Need help controlling your powers? Thrown out and need a place to stay? Want to belong to something bigger? This is the place for you. We tend to lean towards teenagers, but are open to young adults as well.

Activity: We have numerous people on mainly at night and we do a lot of RP. During weekends, it tends to be sporadic during the day but most are still on at night.

Requirements: We require that your character is between the ages of 15 and 25. We are open to bending around this rule, but nothing unreasonable. In-character wise, our group doesn't have the resources to tend to younger kids.

Leadership: Nigredo Fist, Rey Makaiau

In-Game Contact: @Azure Armitage, @Derek Storm

Out-of-Game Contact: AIM - Verdi Luminati, I can also be contacted here.

Name: Justice Corps

Currently Recruiting: accepting new members, all levels, all ATs

Most of our members are mature adults (age range 26-43) We team together constantly and do TF's, Badge hunts and events.

Name: Avante Guard ((A Top 100 SG))


Currently Recruiting: We are currently recruiting new members!!! We have an ACTIVE SG that has a mix of new players all the way up to 60 month vets. We accept all ATs and levels as well as levels of play be it the hard core gamer to the average weekender.

RP Level: RP-friendly
We do not hold RP sessions. Most of us do not RP BUT we do have some that do and like to stay in character and we play along with them because it's fun so I guess you could say we are RP-friendly - light.

PvP Level: We have been known to arena and zone PvP when the idea hits us. We have coalition members who PvP and have been known to take over the PvP zones or hit the arena.

Theme/Concept: Avante Guard has a laid back atmosphere where people can mix, mingle and team. We do not have a theme we just simply are and it's a concept that has worked very well for us. We do not hold meetings or have attendance requirments, we like to allow our members to play at their pace. We accept all genders/ATs/lvls. The one rule is NO DRAMA!

Activity: Mid afternoon to early/late evening EAST time seems to be our peek hours. We seem to always have at least one person on and upwards of 15-20 during our peek time, daily.

Requirements for Membership:
We have a 45 day inactivity rule, anyone who hasn't logged in in 45 days will be removed from the SG. There are exceptions made for those who have given notice of a break in game for RL/personal reasons.

We ask you play in SG mode and have reasonable prestige goals that must be made within the first 15 days of membership since we are close to capacity.

We also have a reserve SG, Avante Guard Reserves that alt toons are welcome to join without the pressure of having to meet prestige requirements.

Leadership: Charleigh Blaze, Okami Blaze, Susie Flame, and Void Crow

Rogues of Ruin


((We have open coali spots if anyone has an active SG. We love to have new people to join forces with!))

We have our own forum/website page, Vent server, SG uniform. We also have a fully functional base that is laid out for optimal functionality with all the basics you'd expect. We accept alts. If you have any questions please visit our forums or PM me here or in game.

Guys,i'm gonna post here the Bio of my toon.He's an ancient WS,and if any SG would like to invite,PST me at @schwartzpedro


Bio: Aeons ago,Abstergo was one of the most preeminent Light Councilors of the Kheldian society,a judge and punisher,watcher and learner. And for that it was easier for him to be corrupted by the Nictus hunger. Abstergo was one of the first Kheldian to turn into Nictus,and his powers somewhat differ from the common Nictus,for being one of the first experiments. When he became a Nictus, his need for energy made him devour whole planets to feed himself from the energy of the planet’s population. His powers grew stronger,and he became known as the “World Devourer”. But this came to an end when he was faced by an unknown being, made of pure light, who let it be consumed by Abstergo only to show him that even the darkest shadow could be redeemed. Now that he did not had the Nictus hunger nor the need for energy or a host, Abstergo came to Earth following the footsteps of other Warshade and Peacebringers to help proving that Warshades are not evil.
