Villian Group Directory (Feb '11 - Aug '11)
Name: Anathema - website at: www.dauntlessreverie.com
UPDATED LISTING & Recruiting Information:
Currently accepting applications: For more information, see our website, or contact one of our Leadership.
RP Level: RP-intensive in teaming, /coalition and /sg, active on our own website forums, and chatty, funny, and sometimes raunchy OOC in Global.
PvP Level: Extremely casual and individually driven.
Theme/Concept: Anathema is a community of sorts and home to a number of outcasts, fugitives, extortionists, arsonists and varying and sundry other vile individuals. They come from all paths, be it from the power of Technology, Science, Magic, Mutation, or through some Natural design. These gathered have deemed it worthwhile to commune together. Some do it for protection, others for access to the Warrens, the home of Anathema, and still others do it simply because there is nothing better happening in the Rogue Isles. OOCly, Anathema is the Dauntless' Villain-side counterpart.
Activity: Our prime time is predominantly North American in the evenings, and Wednesdays are our weekly SG night.
Requirements for Membership: You need to be a good writer (this is more about the strength of your stories than the incidence of your typos!) and mesh socially with the group.
Leadership/In-Game Contact(s): @Rhianwen, @LyteinVirtue, @TheVagabond, and @Elysienne in the UK time zone.
Out-of-Game Contact(s): We highly recommend registering through the main site home page, at: www.dauntlessreverie.com. Once registered, to submit a character, use the City of Villains: Apply link on our home page. When submitting a character application, please include the IC method for contacting, and reasons for seeking membership with, Anathema..

Coalition(s): Reposession, Inc, and Titan Industries.
Name: Titan Industries
Currently Recruiting: Yes!
RP Level: Moderate to heavy. This is an rp vg; our members are generally looking to share stories together, both in-game and on the forums. We have an OOC channel, but teams and sg chat should be considered IC unless indicated otherwise.
PvP Level: Player's choice. The group doesn't pvp, but individual members are free to pursue it as they like.
Theme/Concept: Established in 2009 by Brooklyn Cale, Titan Industries is an acquisitions and problem-solving firm. The company operates out of a secure facility in St. Martial in the Etoile Isles and specializes in the quick, discreet resolution of problems. Employees are free to pursue their own interests, cultivate their own clients, and work on their own agendas. In order to find and perform jobs, each operative has access to the human, electronic, and financial networks provided by the company. In exchange, employees give a small percentage of their incomes to Titan Industries and occasionally carry out an assignment given to them by the firm. Jobs assigned to operatives by the company pay extremely well once they are successfully completed. Good performance and loyal service tend to result in better assignments, bigger paychecks, and more perks.
Most backgrounds and all origins are welcome. There's a few concepts that probably wouldn't fit in too well. (For example, Arachnos loyalists or anyone under the age of 18.) Also, characters are recruited into the group, so there's no IC way to apply. Players are welcome to inquire about membership though! A captain and the applicant will decide together how Titan Industries has heard about the character.
Activity: We currently have a nice group of about 15-20 experienced roleplayers. We tend to be active after about 8-9 PM, EST, though there's a few of us who pop on during the afternoons. We have in-game teaming and rp (including two weekly team nights), as well as forum-based rp. Members are not required to use the forums for storytelling, but they are certainly encouraged to do so.
Requirements for Membership: There is no minimum level to join, but anyone who's interested in applying will need to fill out an application at our website. We expect members to be mature, thoughtful, and active.
Leadership: Titan Girl - Director; Tommy Cortex - Captain; Voltaic Scorpion - Captain.
In-Game Contact(s): @Andy, @Anhedonia1, or @T-Pill.
Out-of-Game Contact(s): You can pm Andora on the main CoH forums, send a tell to any of the officers in-game, or leave a message for us on our website in the application section.
Coalitions: Anathema, Pulse, Sin Enterprises

PvP Level: No PvP yet, but, depending on interest...
Theme/Concept: Motto: "If It's Gold, It's Ours".

Ex-Goldbrickers, welcome home!
Activity: Relatively new VG, with over a dozen members. Playtimes are evenings during the weekdays, weekends - most of the weekend hours!
Requirements for Membership: A desire for gold...and to be in SG Mode up to Level 25; after 25, it's your call on whether to remian in SG mode or not.

Name: The Black Carnival
Currently Recruiting: Yes
RP Level: RP-friendly
PvP Level: Player's choice for now
Theme/Concept: We're a carnival-based RP group that runs more like a mafia than a carnival, using the motto "Wreak havoc and destruction to entertain the masses!" in reference to humiliating whatever it is we're currently pulverizing for the amusement of the other villains in the Rogue Isles.
Our rp is optional and we aren't too big or strong yet.
Activity: Currently recovering from a blow in activity due to the Ringmaster getting grounded for a while, but we're looking to expand and become an active VG!
Requirements for Membership: RPers are preferred, but we take anybody who is friendly!
Leadership: Ringmaster Chuckles, Patricia Barnum

Coalition(s): Currently in alliance with the Entropy Legion
Name: The Praetorian Legion
Currently Recruiting: Accepting new members
RP Level: RP-friendly, but never a requirement
PvP Level: Casual
Theme/Concept: During the war with the Devouring Earth, shortly after Cole was elected Consul in the Praetorian Earth dimension, he created a personal army, the Praetorian Guard. A special unit, the Praetorian Legion (or 'The Legion,' as its members called it) was formed; members were selected from the ranks of Cole's Praetorian Guard for myriad reasons, but they all shared several core qualitites, namely: unscrupulousness in achieving end results, their seemingly unshakable dedication to Cole, and powerful metahuman abilitites.
After Cole had successfully defeated the Devouring Earth, the people hailed him a saviour and crowned him emperor. Cole immediately began rebuilding the world as he saw fit. Cole's new Earth became one of austere order. Many within the Praetorian Guard who had distinguished themselves were asked to fill key administrative roles in Cole's government, however it quickly became obvious to the men and women of the Praetorian Legion that they had no real cohesive function any longer, and surely had no place in Cole's new utopia. After its decommission, many of Cole's closest advisors urged him to have the members of the Legion detained, as most were considered nothing more than goons, sociopaths, and sycophants. Eventually the newly-formed bureaucracy convinced Cole that these individuals were a real danger to society, and proclamations were issued for all former Praetorian Legion members' arrests.
It was at this time that the men and women of the Praetorian Legion, feeling betrayed by the people they had helped to save from utter destruction, fled from the Praetorian Earth dimension and found themselves in our world. Finding no quarter in Paragon City, the Legion set up headquarters in the Rogue Isles. The Legion now vows to build an army here in Primal Earth, and eventually force their way back into the gilded world of Praetorian Earth and crush Cole under their boots.
Activity: We have over 20 really active members. Most are on the East Coast/Central time zone.
Requirements for Membership: Enjoy playing the game
Leadership: Praetorian Legion, Malice Maiden, and Nazzek

Coalition(s): The She-Devils
Other Details: We are the villain side group of the American Legion. We are recently broke the top 100 groups on Virtue.
"I saw my advantage and took it. That's what heroes do." - Homer Simpson.
Name: Entropy Legion
Currently Recruiting: always looking for people to join the Legion
RP Level: RP-friendly, RP-intensive, 100% IC spatial, /sg IC and OOC mix. We have private, dedicated OOC channel. Also, quick OOC messages with the typical (( )) chat rule in any channel.
PvP Level: Casual, we do schedule occasional RPvP (PvP in a RP context and decorum) Patrols, but PvP activity is mostly left to the individual.
Theme/Concept: Entropy Legion is a silver-age style group of villains bent on the usual "conquer the world" or "the greatest heist" concept. We are a lot like the Legion of Doom, in where one member will come up with a Plot (created in AE) and the rest of the Legion will then help that Plot in order to have the Legion be victorious.
Of course, being the people that villains usually are, we mess up and are a bit screwed up. We are enjoying the RP of what it would be like if severely quirky and dysfunctional people were stuck in a room together.
Activity: The Legion more EST biased, but RP and member interaction is at any time of day, any day of the week. We have regular scheduled events, with Wed being our main RP night and Monday being more of Infamy grind style missions, but in RP.
Requirements for Membership: out-of-game communication on guild forums (http://entropylegion.guildportal.com).
Leadership: Radium Blight is the current sitting leader (Arch-Villain), with Dark Lies Made Real and Miss Ultimate being the current "officers" of the Legion
In-Game Contact(s): Radium Blight is current leader of the Legion (@davpa), but any officer or member can be contacted
Out-of-Game Contact(s): Contact in this forum under Davpa_CoX for more info

http://www.virtueverse.net/wiki/Entropy_Legion
Other Details: We like to think of ourselves as a fun group that has a good "family" core of players that are always looking out for each other. We play Red and Blue side together and support each other with story ideas, RP interaction, and just a good laugh or two.
Name: Rupture
Currently Recruiting: We are recruiting active and dedicated members who love roleplaying.
RP Level: We're a pretty heavy roleplaying guild - and thus, expect you to roleplay.
PvP Level: Varies from player to player.
Theme/Concept: Rupture is an organization ran by the ex-archvillain known as ''Opposite'' and his Praetorian opposite "Similar," who have essentially decided to declare war upon all formal governments in an attempt to remove corruption and incompetence from society Although they currently take refuge in an abandoned bunker under the warzone of Warburg, Rupture and its agents strike anyone who would stand in their way while trying to rebuild society in their vision.
Activity: Hard to say - pretty sure most of us are from the States.. our core tend to log on between 3-9 PM EST, 2-8 PM CST.
Requirements for Membership: Must be active in the sense that you would do your best to attend most events, though you don't need to be on every day. A couple of log-ons per week would be the best, but not totally required.
Leadership: Similar, Opposite
In-Game Contact(s): Similar, Opposite
Out-of-Game Contact(s): Send a PM to me - Similar, that is.
Other Details: We're basically going to work our way up through stages in the guild through roleplay, starting out in a rundown Warburg bunker, relocating, grabbing a better base.. maybe a space station in the future, roleplay-wise? Who knows!
"The main idea of the VG is to break away from a lot of the "Pocket D'ing" that's been going on throughout the years of my playing. I'm trying to attempt to build a playerbase in the VG based around actual roleplaying, fleshing of characters, interaction outside of conversations, and through roleplaying the gradual changes that occur to the VG itself. While I don't discourage Pocket D'ing, it's definitely something that I would consider secondary to the guild's primary objective: RP outside of basic conversation." - Opposite
Name: White Fang
Currently Recruiting: Villain/Rogue/Vigilante Roleplayers new or old.
RP Level: RP-Intensive; SGChat via comm link.
PvP Level: Casual
Theme/Concept: White Fang is an animal themed mercenary group. Its members will mostly consist of those who were strayed, failed experiments, successful but escapee experiments, or generally players who couldn't find anywhere else to fit in between hero and villainy. Open to other concepts.
Activity: This group is brand new and is bound to take off in time as I've come across many animal themed toons without a group. I personally log in everyday
Requirements for Membership: The main requirement is that your toon is animal themed. (Human faces with animal parts are not an option.)
Leadership: Cat Caliber (Looking for a dedicated group of officers)
In-Game Contact(s): Add @Lybido for info
Out-of-Game Contact(s): Though I log in everyday I can be reached at Lybido@live.com
URL: Coming Soon
Coalition(s): If there are any other animal, animal specific, or mercenary themed groups interested or if you know of some, the idea is definitely optional.
Other Details: Also, a group base is already in development and pretty soon a guild site. Additionally do NOT get the misconception that the group requires you to be a "furry" to be accepted. You don't have to consider yourself as such just to roleplay as an anthromorhic animal.
Time for a new VG recruitment thread.
