This is the bio that doesn't fit into the bio page for Operative Nox! If anyone else would like to post an in-depth bio of their character, I know I would love to read them... Obviously I just fleshed this guy out in a day, so if their are any changes, I will let you know.
Code name: Operative Nox
Real name: Daniel Ferris
Birth date: January 27, 1980
Known living relations: Derek Ferris
Statement:
"Watch out for your little brother," that's what my parents told me. How ironic then, when my brother developed an amazing talent that made all my efforts at the gym seem like a joke, that made all my knowledge as a graduate of Harvard Business School seem miniscule, that made all of my efforts to keep him safe, a waste of time. Not only was I physically incapable of keeping him safe anymore, he had joined some crackpot superhero squad, getting ready to put himself in danger at every opportunity he could get. His talents, while interesting, had a long way to develop, and the scientists involved in this group wanted to test him before he got his feet too wet. That is why I am here, writing this statement, now. I had watched my father get gunned down by one of Marcone's minions, my mother's murder even more brutal. I was just a kid, so they let me go, and I never mentioned my brother. I refuse to watch my brother suffer the same fate as my parents.
Jonathan St. John Smythe asked me to bring him a vial of my brother's DNA. He thought it possible that with the two of us having the same genetic code, we might be able to manifest the same abilities, if the conditions were correct. Smythe is one of the people who put my brother up to the idea of joining a superhero squad, but when dealing with people like my brother, there aren't many people you can turn to. I told Smythe I only wanted to keep my brother safe. I think he understood that if that meant I had to don a pair of tights and run alongside my brother trying to keep Paragon City safe, that I would. He wins twice; my brother stays alive longer, and he gets an extra pair of hands to do his dirty work. Even the good guys are quite the manipulators in this city.
After being injected with the genetic mutation that had taken a hold of my brother, I was kept under observation. At first nothing happened, but then one of the quacks helping Smythe made me angry. I started to yell and shake my fists, and then, I felt the strangest sensation. Looking down, I saw spikes of solid metal protruding from my arms, and other places on my body. The scientists backed away quickly. I assumed it was metal, because of my brother's abilities. It only made sense. At first it seemed like an awesome power, till I saw the people around me frozen in terror. The spikes weren't stationary, I actually saw some sticking into the lab wall. My body had ejected them. No one knew where the next spike would come from, or where it was going.
Then came the pain. The first time it hit, I almost doubled over. From where the spikes were, a green liquid was oozing from my body. I thought I was dying. Smythe took some samples, than rushed everyone out o f the room, sealing me away, for the time being. When he came back, he explained the experiment was a failure. My body was rejecting the powers that had suddenly appeared in my body, and fighting it with intense anti-bodies. Anti-bodies so powerful that I was actually creating an internal poison. That is why the spikes wouldn't stay put. My body was trying to get rid of them, by eating at the roots of the spikes, with the poison. Smythe is curious whether this poison has something to do with the mutated DNA I was injected with, or if I had my own abilities before the experiment. I told him I don't care. I just need to get back to my brother. After a few more experiments, we determined the poison was only toxic to others. The poison's actual purpose is to keep me healthy, including having the ability to keep myself alive longer than normal.
I have traded my life in to be a freak, or some type of monster. Derek will never know that this is his fault. That there are some things that brother's can't share. I love my brother more than anything, and if this is what it takes to keep him alive, than it is worth it. He will always think my "mutation" developed later in life than his, because he doesn't need to know any different truth than that. Smythe and his crew will keep my secret safe, as long as I work to keep them safe. That I will do, as long as my brother wants to. I don't think anyone will blame me though, if I rough up the Marcone family a little more than usual.
Now, Smythe says there are others out there, some helped by him, some helped by other members of his organization, and some who are discovering things on their own. Smythe admits that he is powerless to force us to do anything, but he says to find some friends. A team, a group, whatever you need. Not only will it make us stronger, he thinks having friends that are similar in condition might help to keep us sane. He says we might be able to save Paragon from the ever present threat of villains, perhaps even save the world.
I have given up everything I know, to become a part of a world that I don't fully understand. I don't know anything about saving the world, I wanted to be an investment banker, with a corner office. I think Smythe is right though, everyone needs friends. Sure, I have my brother, but brother's don't always think in the same manner as normal people, do they? Rivalries can run deep, old wounds can become sore. The more people between those wounds, the safer we both will be.
Nice work on the bio, "bro"! 
If anyone checks this out, I was wondering who was going to be in charge of base design, who is going to be the "SG" super leader. Also do we any ideas on the ranking system for any super group members?
Code name: Operative Bulwark
Real name: Derek Ferris
Birthdate: June 7, 1987 (23 years old)
Family: one brother (Daniel Ferris), parents are deceased
Statement:
The kids in school where pretty brutal to me when I was growing up. One of my earliest memories is being teased one day when I went up to the blackboard to do a math problem. It musta been about 3rd grade? At any rate, I was eventually placed in a different school, but that didn't really help. Most kids don't really start to feel different until puberty hits, but for me, it was much earlier than that. You see, I am a mutant, and as a result I looked somewhat different from my peers. My skin has a distinct silvery color to it... and as such, I kinda stood out.
Between school offices, therapists, and doctor's visits, I felt like I was never home. The doctors thought I might have some sort of skin disorder. I've been rubbed with every cream you can think of. But what most of them hit on, was that it must be argyria. So my home was searched, my diet inspected, my parents questioned and so on, to determine how a boy of about 6 is getting into the quantities of silver that would do this. In retrospect, you'd think living in a city full of superhumans would have made the answer obvious. But, with no history of that kind of thing in my family, and some greed on the parts of the doctors, it was never mentioned. No silver was ever found in my body or my home.
As you might imagine, I spent a good deal of time in the principal's office as well. I got in a number of fights due to the many kids taunting me. And older brother wasn't always around to save me; I think he feels guilty about that.
But, as time went on, I got a thick skin (no pun intended) about things, and let things slide. I got a lot more easy going, and actually embraced one of my nicknames (that was supposed to be hurtful): Silver. Some chemistry nerd eventually heralded me being called A.G. (aka Ag, the chemical symbol... I haven't the foggiest how that one stuck, but kids are weird). Things went... relatively smoothly. That is until I started puberty.
I thought things had been weird before? That was nothing. There were a lot more hospital visits on the horizon for me. I started having incredibly strong itching sensations all over my body and portions of my skin would get really hard and uncomfortable. All of this would fade, but in the mean time the doctors tried valiantly to figure out what was wrong. There was one day when the itching and discomfort was almost unbearable, I stayed home from class for most of a week! I went to the store one evening when the symptoms seemed to have faded, and finally figured out what was "wrong" with me. That particular evening the corner store I went to for some snacks was being held up by some whackjob with a gun. I guess I didn't listen to him well enough, and he shot me. *pa-TWANG* The bullet simply riccochetted off my forearm! Most of my body was suddenly covered in a hard metallic substance that, apparently, was bullet-proof.
I knew for sure now that I was a mutant. I stopped shaking and punched the guy out, and ran outta that store and back to my house so fast that I didn't even realize I had left by the time I got home. I later found out that the crook got arrested and there had been no casualties in the robbery attempt. At that moment, my destiny was clear: I had to learn how to use my abilities and help other people. I mean, they didn't call it "City of Heroes" for nothing.
My brother never really understood why I wanted to put myself at risk. He looked at my ability as some sort of curse, something to overcome, not embrace. But, he was busy with placement tests, and then college admissions and term papers, and business. Always marketability and stocks and bonds and investments and blah, blah, BLAH. Though, I knew that he cared about me. After my parents died, he was all I had. He took me to countless appointments, he helped me with the bullies and the homework from school, he tried really hard. But in the end, I feel like I was holding him back.
And so it is even today. I just found out that he is enrolled in the same Special Force that I am. I guess he just recently developped powers. I guess it goes to show that mutation is a mysterious thing. He never showed any signs... not ever. Which, is a bit odd. But as one of the GIFT personnel told me: "everyone develops their abilities according to their unique genetic code and specific mutations." There is no blueprint for how it will go. And so, I guess we will serve together in this organization. I just hope the other teammembers are capable and I don't have to lead them anywhere. I don't know that I am ready for that. I just am not that confident in my abilities.

Good questions. I would assume Nyrisa will be the Super Leader... but beyond that, I have no idea.

Heya, Thirty7!
I have a few questions ...
1) Do we need to be human? I have several ideas for characters, but my current favorite is, well, a not human.
2) Are we limited to eight? I have a friend that's semi-interested (he's almost a 6-year vet, knows the game very well, is smart and an ample share of common sense and courtesy, and love to RP as well) - or are the other slots already taken?
3) Kheldians, Y/N?
4) Can I get some more info the PCSF for my bio?
Thanks! lookin' forward to thursday!

Well hey ya'll thanks for the forum this iwll come in handy with questions and such others may have about the costumes and whatnots 
As for SG leaders and stuff, um sure I will take lead but others will need to be ranked up there with me. This idea may have started out as one persons but all of ya'll have helped with it. for ranks I shall need to ponder on the titles a bit to figure them out.
oh yeah let me post my bio for Ny. and after reading ya'll I think we may beable to tie these toons together a bit. (shall need to discuss that another time)
Code Name: Operative Ny
Name: Nyrissa M Smythe
Age: 25
Family: none. She was created
Nyrissa was created in the underground labs in Paragon City, Atlas Park actually. When she was old enough, she was given to a special group of people known as the MAGI. They worked with an elite team of the top minds in Paragon to make to their idea of the perfect defender. Nyrissa was created for a soul purpose. One she would have to find out later.
She never understood why she always felt so alone yet there were constantly people around her, teaching her the ways of being a hero. She learned every part of the human anotomy and all the powers of healing that the MAGI could offer. Still, even with her knowledge she couldn't but help wonder why she was to care so much for others when she had no family to care for her. Finally it was then she realised that was how she was made. For insurance the MAGI also taught her about the arts of the netherworld. They wanted to make sure something that had so much time and effort put into it could protect it's self.
One afternoon as she was practicing her studies of empathy and a group of soldiers walked in wearing grey suits with a blue insigna on their chest. Nyrissa could do nothing but watch as these strange men stormed in and took her from the only people she knew. From all the chaos Nyrissa had blacked out. When she awoke she found herself standing infront of a man she thought looked familiar.
"I know you don't I?" asked Nyrissa "Why yes my dear you do, I am the one whom made you. My name is Johnthan St. John Smythe." Nyrissa just looked puzzled at him for a short time. "Well I suppose then you know why I was made?" she asked him. "Yes, you were made to be part of an elite team of heros who can surpass the limits of others. They are known as Paragon's Collabortaive Special Force" he replied
"Oh knock it off. We don't have time for this. There are things that need to be done. We, are the "Edge of Chaos". You are here to make sure the rest of your team stays alive and doesn't get too banged up." stated one of the men in the grey suits.
"Well, I suppose I shall go then and do what ya'll created me to do. One question tho, How will I know whom they are?" Nyrissa replied
She was sent to Atlas Park to await the arrivals of the other members of the team. Looking down at her reflection in the water by Mrs. Liberty, she thought to herself (Geesh, you'd think they could have given me a better outfit, I look terrible in this suit)
okay all. we are doing great so far. Now we have 7 so if anyone has 1 more they wanna invite go for it. I know we all probally play differnt ways but thats what great about the roleplay we can be how we want our toons to be. anyhow i wanna say thanks to everyone for joining and that i believe we will all have a blast. when you make your toons pls just head to AP. We can all get the badge for infected ltr unless u have already done that then is no worries either way I'm flexible so its however. wanted to let ya'll know about the badge "edge of chaos" pls do get that. I had it in my bio and when thinking of the whole rp sg thing that this would be a good name for the group that created us or picked us all for the Paragon collaborative special force. remeber also the beret is optional on the uniform but pls do get close to it as you can. I figured since it is an elite team and we were all selected for this that unformity would be good idea then maybe at lvl 20 we could all switch to our own looks. Thirty7 and Vince did a wonderful job on picking the sg costume. for that reason i would like to nominate them to be base creators. I think if we all add our input on ideas for the group we should turn out just spiffy Also, as for sg ranks once we get it started i'm open for suggestions on names. I was thinking things like commander,captin, Lt. , inforcer type stuff but again any info would be awsome. Thanks again bunches ya'll and I cant wait till thursday. That reminds me, What time exactally do we wanna do this? I think about 8cst-9est would be good but it is up to ya'll also and how everyones schedule is. please post when would be a good time for you thanks tons all !! Nyrisa
yeah 8 pm central is good for me.
Btw my bio is comming later.
Code Name: Operative Wylde
Real Name: Tony (Anthony) Alexander Wylde
Birth Date: February 29th 1988 (6 ½ leap years old)
Known living relations: Unknown, believed to be sole remaining heir to family holdings
In game Data:
AT: Controller
Origin: Magic
Primary Power Set: Plant Control (Magic Cigars)
Secondary Power Set: Kinetics (Magic Spells)
Global name: @American Dawg
“You need to concentrate, Anthony. Watch.” Praetorius clenched his fist and pulled it back to his chest.
“Focus on you opponent. You can't complete the full Circle of Healing unless you put some order to those
thoughts.”
“I'm not a healer, Pratz. How often do I have to say it?” Tony dropped his hands in a sign of exasperation.
“It's not about healing only. It's about the transfusion of energy, moving it from one place and into another.
It's the first step in learning to manipulate the magical energies. There are nine circles and you've yet to master
the first and most basic!”
“History lesson, Pratz. Why did my ancestors subjugate themselves to this generational torture?”
“Your family line and my organization are inextricably linked, Master Anthony, because they needed to be.
Our pact has saved many lives throughout the millennia, and even the world once. So I wouldn't be so flippant
about it.”
Tony drew in a deep breath and sighed long and slow. He stepped out of the mystic circle and moved to the
table bearing Praetoreus' books and trinkets. He examined the clutter and finally spied what he was looking for.
He gripped the cigar between his thumb and forefinger. He turned it in his hands and sniffed the leaf.
“That's easy magic, Anthony. Prepackaged. No skill is required, you end up learning nothing.”
“Can't I save the world with tobacco smoke?” Tony put the cigar into his mouth and snapped with his left
hand; the Cantrip of Light. The mystic light was bright enough to illuminate the dusty training room, but Tony had
learned it was hot enough to light small objects on fire, say, a cigar perhaps.
“Careful, Master Anthony. The leaf of the Dicotyl flower is rare and powerful ...” Praetoreus began.
“And tasty!” Tony interrupted.
“The smoke from its ashes will fill your lungs. If you cannot maintain mental control over the powers it
grants you ...”
“Ya, I know. I can find myself tied up in a bundle of thorny vines. I gotcha.”
“It's all about control Master Anthony, even the 'easy magic' must be controlled. You need to learn to focus
the power of your will to bend the magic, or it will break you.”
“I just love these though. My family holdings is enough to pay for a truck load of these right?”
“Yes, Master Anthony,” Praetoreus said. “And as you appear to be the only surviving heir to my
organizations vast resources, I'm sure you will go through quite a few of them.”
“Heh, ya,” Tony said as he exhaled a cloud of flavorful smoke. “Better start stocking up.”
The cigar in his hands began to move, as if something inside wanted out. It startled Tony, and he dropped it.
“Gather your will Master Anthony! Focus! Or you're about to be ...”
“Glah!” Tony cried out as thorny vines exploded outward, engulfing him their painful grip.
Praetoreus sighed. “I see it's going to be impossible to teach you proper mental discipline. I think it's time
we look into military school. I know an organization that will be perfect for that! What do you have to say about
it, Master Anthony?”
“Mrrrff hmmn mnfff ...”
“Good! Let me call them now!”

Statement:
What do Paragon City's heroes know of evil? I can tell you that none of them understand it the way I do. You see there is a monster inside me secreted away within the dark recesses of my inner thoughts, gnawing at my soul, a cold and malicious entity relentlessly seeks to consume my humanity. Azuria assures me that the extensive wards MAGI placed on me will keep the beast contained.
But I have doubts.
I am the unfortunate bearer of a curse, both ancient and powerful, that has afflicted my family for centuries. Every 11th generation, the first male child born into my family has the misfortune of carrying this darkness until the day of his 33rd birthday. That's when the beast takes over. That's when the person ceases to be. That's when the 33 years of my life will be supplanted by the 33 years of malevolence that follows.
Azuria tries to give me hope. She says all I need to do to keep the evil at bay is to focus my positive energies, dedicating myself to bettering the lives of people around me and the mystical wards will prevent the monster from emerging. She is lying to me... and to herself. Behind that warm comforting smile, I clearly see the abject terror in her heart. I know it well for I have lived with it each day of my life. Yes, I understand fear like no other. When I look at a person, I can feel what it is that makes him afraid. I have the ability to take what I find and skillfully manipulate it against my opponents in the same way a knight wields his sword an everpresent reminder of that which lurks inside me.
So now I have joined Paragon's Collabortaive Special Force to become a hero. It's not like I think doing so will somehow lift my curse and avoid the unpleasant fate that was set in place so long ago. However, I plan to do as much good for the people of Paragon City as I possibly can until that inevitable day arrives. It is my hope that the good I do today will continue to shine despite the darkness that is sure to follow.
I love base editing. Perhaps I could learn some tricks here on the forums to really make a niftier base than I have in the past, but I am all for being a part of that team. Does the SG actually exist yet? Wylde and I were thinking of playing two random characters up to ten, just to be able to put us all int the SG and earning prestige right away.

Thanks! lookin' forward to thursday! |
But...
1) Not as far as I know... but you may have to adapt the uniform to work.
2) That would be Nyrisa's call, but I want to say we should stick to 8 at first so that people don't have to sit out.
3) Sure? I can't think of a reason why not.
4) To the best of my knowledge (I too would like a bit more info here) an organization called "Edge of Chaos" has created and/or brought our team together for its own purposes. Beyond being a paramilitary band of heroes, I am not sure what exactly their goals are. What I do know is that the heads of the various organizations found in city hall (MAGI, ELITE, DATA, etc.) each have at least a few fingers in the pot. I am unclear as to whether they have a stake in EoC, or if they simply helped them.
When it comes to each of our individual characters, as you can see, there are different motivations and ways that they joined up.
I hope that provided a touch of insight into the matter (even if it is a bit late).
Ya, I met up with Ny for a few minutes last night and got a few questions answered.
I have a character above level 10 on Guardian, that's NOT in an SG yet. If we want to make the SG up right away, he can make it, then pass off leadership to Person X. I'd retire him back to lowly peonship at that point.
Just an idea...

Sounds like a plan... I will see if I can't meet up with you in-game for that very purpose! Saves me some time. |

Well, last night was tons of fun. I really look forward to seeing how we fare in some Task Forces and Trials (I assume we'll be doing the Hollows Trial? Will we be doing the new Positron TF? I hope so!)
I have my bio here, but I hope to have an abbreviated in-game version ready by next Thursday. The Role Playing aspect of this group is really kinda fun.
When we get alternate costumes, will we be able to wear them when we run together, or will the Team Uniform be recommended? (Maybe we can have nights where we're not on "official missions")
Tons of fun and thanks again to everyone!

First off, glad you had fun! I totally did as well. In fact, I am really glad that our brand of RPlite worked as well as it did. (I hope my little taunting binds didn't get obnoxious.)
I don't think we will always have to "suit up" for play sessions. So the next costume slot will likely be a good place to branch out and define the character a bit more, but perhaps things like TFs will be where the uniform is enforced? Or if someone writes official AE missions for us?
As far as the Hollows Trial... until we have 8 folks, that is a no go. 
Just a thought, this may be a good place to post pics from our missions defending Paragon! I'll try to remember to take some this Thurs, then everyone can point and laugh at my graphics card. (I'm upgrading to a Commodore 128 soon! Woohoo!)

Hi ya'll. I am glad to hear ya had fun, I had a blast as well. I would like to do a tf sometime if we all are free to do so one thursday night. I liked the idea of wearing our "individual" costumes every so often... But I agree that for tf's and such we should wear our uniforms. I think we all did a good job on the team and we worked well togethe. Tho I believe I need to fix my defender a bit sorry for all the deaths. Is next thursday still good for all ya'll or do we need to switch nights? I am very happy that you all joined and had fun. I will continue to look for an 8th person but by all means if ya'll know anyone whom is ok with the roleplay and uniform stuff pls do lets us know. and again sorry if some of my macros get a bit annoyin. Much appreciatetion, Nyrissa
Thursday nights will continue to be fine for me. And you did just fine on your Defender, Nyrisa. People die, usually its their own fault.
This thread is designed for the use of the members of the PCSF RP SG. I am not sure exactly what we will use this thread for, but it will be OOC for sure.
For now, I will simply post a few things for use as reference.
