Blue Sheild: PPD Themed RP Static Team recruiting, You'll love it
I actually already have a character that I was looking for a PPD RP group for, this is perfect!
Captain Mask, former PPD SWAT officer turned superhero after and accident during a raid on a Crey laboratory. He gained some mild strength and physical aptitude, but nothing too unremarkable. Attempting to rectify their mistake, and look better in the public eye after inadvertantly creating so many meta-messes, they decided to publicly apologize and pay him reparations. After attempting the cape life as a strong guy with a shield, he eventually got bored and decided it was time to go back to the force. The character is a Shield/Strength tank at 30, but I have no qualms re-rolling him, since his costume needs a major overhaul either way. If he doesnt fit I can always roll a Peacebringer (which I would play as human form).
Note: remember the Semi-static team thing? It died. One of the people involved stopped playing and another deleted his character for it and I decided it was just garbage from there :/. Thank goodness something interesting popped up or I might have cancelled my account!

Both of those are EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm talking about. If you want, you could, instead of re-rolling them, Roll an alternate version of them.... Just a thought.

The Emerald Sleuth: Slightly eccentric Detective Kevin Kane can't put his job down. Ever hour of Ever day he spends solving cases and putting together facts. he lives and breathes murder scenes and has criminal records for breakfast. He's got no powers but an unwavering dedication and a generous helping of OCD. When he's not in the office... he's in the office, the one he built in the basement of his apartment complex.
A Justice League Unlimited's The Question inspired character. he's a bit out there in terms of personalities and quirks but he's a brilliant detective and completely dedicated to the law. He just thinks its silly that they won't let him work 20 hour shifts and sleep in that free cell they have. he doesn't need that much sleep and that bed's fine to sleep on. Really. That's why he applied for a hero card. So he can beat up villains and investigate crimes in his free time. He doesn't like that term, either. Free is such an odd word.
A possible member? I sorta love this idea, myself.
What a coincidence, I love it as well! 
Edit: By my count, we have four characters now:
- Ethan Washington(Detective Ethan): Natural origin: Blaster: Dual Pistols/Mental Maniplation
- Captain Mask: Science Origin:Tanker: Sheild Defense/Super Strength
- Officer Howard:Werewolf Origin:Werewolf:Werewolf Powers/More Werewolf Powers.
- Emerald Sleuth: Natural Origin:Crazy Guy: Dedication/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I'd like to say count me in, but my messed up work schedule is already proving a hassle on the static teams I'm already part of. Best of luck to you though, sounds like fun.

Dammit.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Actually, I think if I join this, it will be with DP/Dev blaster named Shenaniguns. She's only level 6 or 7 right now, so rerolling her won't be a big deal.
Also, the more I thought about it, the more I realized I mostly just wanted to find a PPD-themed SG to join with Officer Howard - a group I could play with casually, but not necessarily on a set schedule.
If Prem's idea takes off and grows into a supergroup, I'll gladly add Officer H to help earn prestige. Heck, since he's level 34, I could even start a SG for the team from day one if you want.

Well The Sleuth is a scrapper. MA/WP. When should I log in for these static groups?

My wife and I both love that character.

If you mean Shenaniguns, thanks!

She DOES rock rather hard.

The way I envision her, her attitude is pretty similar to Pep's. (I think it's Pep who is always hurling insults at the bad guys, right?)

If it's ok with you guys, I'd prefer not to reroll captain mask, but I have no problems whatsoever having him brought down to your level until you guys reach 30ish (at which point he'd be gaining xp normally). If this is an issue then I may be persuaded to roll something else in the meantime, but again, I'd rather just use the SSK system to use Mask either way.
EDIT: And Starflier you know you cant resist the allure of a new static team with a definitive theme...

I would like to issue a plea on behalf of Paragon's diminutive protectors, please watch where you step. We're four feet tall in a six foot tall world, we've been cast adrift in a sea of butts. -Pillbug

Oh, of course, I was going to suggest the same thing for Officer Howard, but he went and made Stripper cop, and She's cool as well, so there it is.

Bio: The officer code-named Blue Watch is part of "Thin Blue Line", project name for an attempt by the PPD to turn "ordinary" officers into a tactical response force of technical heroes. Blue TACs, as the squad is commonly known, are testing a variety of powered armors and under-uniform armors designed to protect and augment the normal human body. Psychological response to the sudden increase in power is also monitored. It is hoped that one day the final results of Thin Blue Line will allow all standard officers to perform at hero-class levels.
too bad I don't RP.
But I wish you well.
And hey, "Let's be careful out there!"

C'monnnn, you should try it some time! that'd be the Perfect character concept for us!| too bad I don't RP. |
anyway, so we have two blasters, a Scrapper, and a Tanker.
Good enough time to start setting some things in stone.

Just Popping in to Get a Headcheck, are our three People Still IN? Are there any people who want to, but just can't hammer out a good idea yet? Pipe in with your responses!

Yep. Still in. Though, I will admit, time frame may be an issue with me as I work early shifts at work so I generally head to bed pretty early for most people. as long as we are done by 8pm EST I'll be fine but later sorta leaves me a bit cranky when I head to work.
That's about the time I was hoping for, what days would be good?

I always knew I had the talent, but I never had much training.
My grandma used to encourage me to feel things, but that didn't do much. It DID help to nurture it, and I guess that helped it survive all the way into my adulthood,so I thank her every day for that. You guys know my story, though.
I was just a regular Joe for quite a while, a regular Joe with fantastic hunches, but a regular beat cop nonetheless. When they Formed PSI Division a while back, They finally picked up on my skills, and well, that's when the training started. I can't tell you how much time I spent staring at all kinds of dumb stuff and trying to hear other people's stupid thoughts, but here I am now.
Of course, Bochco wasn't about to lose one of his best street officers to PSI's investigations department. So, I became a sort of... Psychic Street Detective... stop snickering, it's fantastic, I get to keep doing real detective work, but I also get directly involved in the super stuff.
So that's me, and before we dive into each of you, I'm going to tell you why I rounded you guys up:
I'm at my desk, finishing up for the day and getting ready to go, when I get a call in from Ol' Bochie.
So I'm thinking:
What did I do this time? I gave that one guy a light stroke, but it wasn't that bad, and no one complained, well, he couldn't what with the stroke n'all, but even so, that shouldn't be enough to get me in trouble, maybe it's something good for once.
So I knock and let myself in, and Bochie's in his chair, looking over some paperwork, all serious. I sit down, he smiles( I KNOW this is gonna be bad) and he looks up at me, with that friendly, I'm your boss and I'm telling you some crap I'm happy about but we both know you're not looks.
So he looks at me, and says.
You liking that new position we made for you?
I nod, Smile big, lots of smiling in this conversation by the way,
oh yes sir, it's almost like being a superhero, But, you know, with better outfits, hehe
Yeah I know, cheesy, but what'reya gonna do?
So he nods and starts into his pitch.
Well, you, and Blue Steel have been doing a heck of a job out there, not just with your work, but with your effect, people are starting to look at us as supers in our own right, it's not cops, AND Heroes anymores, it's cops OR heroes, we're on equal footing, and it's not just PSI and the Hardsuits and the Kheldians.
I know where this is going, without even peeking in his head, but there are just some questions you gotta ask in these conversations, you know?
What do you mean
He sighs, drops his shoulders and looks at me again, smile's gone now
Heroes have a different... effect on the people, the criminals and the civilians, than we do, that's something we just couldn't touch.. at least that's how it used to be, Blue Steel has that effect, and he's undeniably a cop, and, you might know this, but you do, you're on the streets like a regular cop, but you're using powers and training and weaponry that makes you super. You don't have to call in back up from a different division and plunk away with your six shooter, you can handle it right there. that makes people feel good, and scares the crooks"
"Closest thing we have are the Specialized divisions, but we can't have them running all over the place, there's just not enough of em. We do have some people, Specialists, gifted guys like you, who can walk that line between regular cops and military superhuman might that heroes walk, here in the PPD, I want you to get some of them together, Form a team, and you're gonna do hero work, real hero work, you'll patrol the streets, you'll fight the monsters, topple the super villains, and you'll do it the way heroes do it
You'll all be happy I asked this next question
So, no paperwork?
Biiiig laugh from the chief for that one
HAH! Hell yeah boy, you've got the right idea, so, It'll be you and your team, we'll bring in Blue Steel when we can, but most of the time it'll just be you kids, this is on an experimental basis, things go wrong, it's over, so, are you in?
Strange thing is, I actually LOVED what he told me, guess I'm weird like that, I told him I'd do it, but only if the team would agree to it, So, we're all here, to be more than cops and more than heroes, you in, or you going back to the office?
Think of it like Superhero/ines, but with cop uniforms(Variations of them at least)
Requirements:
Regular Meeting Place:
We will meet at the Paragon Police Department in King's Row, for obvious reasons.
Operating Procedure:
Each week, We'll take a different member's story arc from one of their contacts. Things will stay fresh as they're switched up, as well as feeling more "Hero Team" than "Cop Team" and noone will have to worry about "keeping up" story wise.
It also allows for each character to give a bit of their own story as we progress as a group.
After running through a story arc from four players, we'll run either a Task force of our choice, or a particular Player's created Story Arc
This would mean that you might have to log in from time to time to get this or that mish from one of your contacts on off days, let me know, and I'll be happy to take over if you don't have anything, or could'nt get on wit your character during the week, and We'll run one of Detective Ethan's(mine) this WILL count as your turn for the round, though.
Play Time:
Time spent in-game will be divided three ways
20 Minute Mandatory RP Time:
Before each run, I'd like to take about twenty minutes, (I'll probably be on a bit earlier) Of "sitting Around talking" Time as both a "De-briefing" segment, and to build up anything that anyone might have brewing as far as personal character development-wise and such.
Two Hours of Play time
Two hours of... Well, play time. Two hours of running whatever the person "Holding the torch" for the current week has. If you don't have any major arcs that might last Two hours set up, Two Minor ones would be just fine.
Thirty-Minutes Of Optional RP/hang-out time:
Obviously, the base is thirty minutes, but individual character interactions might run long, so just take this as a suggestion. It's optional, noone is forced to kick around any longer than they wish to, but obviously a team of people should get along, so either IC or OOC, I'd like it if everyone could spend some time together to either play out a story they'd like to expand on, or just get to know each other better.
Meeting Time:
Once a Week Is the plan, anything else is'nt really set.
I don't personally have a particular meeting time set up. I would like something earlier in the afternoon, so people could play, log, then go about their business for the night IRL. Anything during the Week is absolutely fine as far as I'm concerned. I'd also like to establish a "regular" day and a "Back-up" day in case the normal time doesn't work out due to some catastrophe, we can still go by without skipping a week on the back-up day.
I plan to get started in two weeks at the latest, and by next week if things go much quicker.
Player Spots/Recruitment:
I'll be recruiting until the team is full, and when spots open up, I'll announce them, either here, or, more likely, with a new thread.
Characters:
Origins: Can be anything that suits you, but your character needs to be based on the PPD, an officer, liason, operative, undercover cop, We're all cops with gifts or special talents here.
ATs: No requirements, but it wooooould be nice to have maybe one sheild/mace tank and a kheldian, hint hint hint.
