Would this be heavy RP or RPlite?
This sounds interesting, I've been wanting to 'get in on the ground floor' of something like a superteam or a themed SG etc etc for a few weeks now.
I currently don't have anything on Pinnacle but I can always transfer some if needed. Unless we decide to start truly from scratch at level 1.
For me, I'm a concept driven player. I generally solo Blasters and Scrappers with the occasional Brute. When teaming I like to play support most of the time, unless raw damage is needed more. I can't play Tanks though, just not my cup of tea.
As far as restrictions/consequences go that'd have to be something up to the commitee. Only things I can think of that would be just to extreme would be true death (i.e. deleting the toon upon 1st defeat) or overly restrictive attendance rules (i.e. miss a single meeting/event and your kicked) Other than that I'm intereted to see what's brought up!

Glad someone is interested! To answer your questions/concerns:
-I would prefer to keep it light. That way, if certain people want to be heavier on the RP, they are welcome to, but no one feels required to be.
-As for starting, we can start wherever and however. I think it might be easiest to start from scratch on any given server (especially now that we can email ourselves jump-start supplies), that way we won't have to worry about character transfers, but again that's something we can all decide on once we have a group.
-I, too, am a concept driven player, so I hear ya on that front. Once we have a set number of interested people, we can choose how to approach this. Example: If we end up with only 5 people, then we can get really detailed, maybe all take an archetype, form a superteam. If we end up with numbers in the double digits, obviously the approach would be different.
-I hate "required attendance" so there will be none of that. I would prefer to be on the side of "Hey, we're all running the Synapse TF around 7pm CST on Wednesday. Whoever can make it should be there!" And I agree, deleting a character because they were defeated, while I respect one's commitment who is willing to do that, is not something I want to do.
As you can see, I am not looking to get too extreme with this, just creative.
Very glad to hear you're on-board, Maestro. If you know anyone else who might be interested, refer them here. Once we can get a core group of people (say around 5-7) we can start discussing what to do, and actually make some decisions. That way, should it get to be large scale, we already have some things in place and are not dealing with 40 different opinions.

Hello to you, the resident saviors of Paragon City.
["Too long; Did not read" version]
I am looking for people who would be interested in building "something" from the ground up. That "something" would be decided upon by everyone in the group, based on how many people we had, what server we wanted to start on, what people want to get out of it, what kind of time we want to/would be able to devote to it, etc. I have plenty of ideas, but most importantly, I would like this be a collaboration. If you are interested, please say so on this topic, or contact me in-game via global tell or email (@Winterminal).
[Full Explanation]
There are two things that I love about comic-book universes, and their characters: being part of something bigger than yourself (and the responsibility that comes with that), and the high stakes situations into which these characters are thrust. This game provides opportunities for both, without making them a requirement (in order to appease the largest variety of people). These are the only two criteria I am adamant about fulfilling, and they are quite general in nature, so finding a happy compromise within the group should be relatively simple.
Usually, the most compelling stories are those where multiple people band together to accomplish a common goal. That's one thing I would like to incorporate into this "something" that will (hopefully) be created. Whether it is forming a tight-knit SG, doing task forces together, coming up with a common name/costume (as simple as a common chest emblem, or as intricate as fully matching uniforms and colors with everyone having "Vortex" as the prefix to their name). I don't know! The possibilities are numerous, and it would be a great way to get the creative process flowing.
The flip side to this group would be incorporating something that this game (being an MMORPG), otherwise, does not enforce a whole lot: stakes and consequences to our actions. Again, we can make this whatever we want, as long as something happens as a reaction to our actions. A range of examples:
What happens when one of us is defeated in battle?
Should task forces be one-time opportunities (do or die)?
If we fail a mission...?
Do we decide not to fight any more Lost after gaining sympathy for them in the Midnighter Arc?
The answers to these and other questions (even the more ridiculous ones, haha) can be whatever we want! As with most things, the existence of stakes makes something thrilling, and the higher the stakes, the more of a thrill it can be.
Essentially, this group would take one step further into the world of the character. The size of the step is up to us. If you would like to get involved, as I said above, post here, and/or contact me in-game via global tell or email (@Winterminal).
Whether you are interested or not, happy hunting.
