The various levels of the concept is pretty neat.

very cool concept
((This is just an idea I had about a year or so ago. I was really big on making solo bases at the time and had different plans that I was trying but this one I kept putting off. It was for my character Toy-Man and finally finished it for the most part. I'll still be adding details and rooms over time but this is it's current lay out. I know it's nothing major compared to many bases I've seen, but I like it
For anyone that's interested after the last picture is the store of Toy-Man and his base.))

((There's still work to be done for the most part as I hope to keep expanding it as time goes on and adding in more details to it (like add more rooms to the second floor)
If anyone is interested in using the base for a place of RP I'm open to coalitioning with your group, granted that it's 'kids/teens' using the base. The coalition the base has at the moment is with Union Supreme which at times uses it for their teenage heroes as a hideout.
If interested just let me know or if you have any suggestions on what I could add to make it better that would also be appreciated
Story:
North of the High Park district of Kings Row stands an old forgotten toy store simply named The Toy Store. It was, and as far as many people know still, owned by an older man and his son. The man's wife was killed during an attack Kings Row by the clockwork titan known as Paladin. But it wasn't the monster that took the woman's life, but a young careless hero who was fighting Paladin. The man watched as a fireball smashed into his wife, just a moment after she pushed their son out of the way.
That fireball sparked a hatred in the man. A hatred that grew stronger and stronger, until he started to neglect the only family he had left and the store that had been his father's. The toymaker studied weapons and advance machinery and eventually started making weapons for the villains and gangs of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles and selling them out of the The Toy Store after hours.
While the Toy-Man fiddled with his weapons his son ran the business during the day after school, unaware of his father's activities. But unaware to his father, the boy had a mutant gene that grants him superhuman intuitive talent for inventing devices, the ability to visually perceive mechanical energy. But as the boy mainly only built toys, both the father and son believed it was just traits passed down from his grandfather.
Years passed before the son stumbled upon his father's real life and plans. By this time the boy never really seen his father and had gotten use to living on his own and running the store by himself. Through the news and friends at school the boy had figured out what was really the cause of his creative inventions and had built toys with artificial intelligence that served as his main companions. Hating what his father had turned into, the boy snuck into his underground work shop and damaged a device that his father had been working on, thinking it would cause his employers to seek weapons else where. It was only a few weeks later when the boy returned to the workshop to find his father sitting at his desk, dead.
The weapon that was there before was gone, but his father had no visible injuries and just seemed like he died in his sleep, but suspicion still ate at him. Knowing what would happen to him if people found out he was now an orphan, the boy had his machines take his father's body and bury it in a cemetery in the Rogue Isles.
He then dawned a new costume to pretend to be his father, but sold anyone who came by faulty weapons with tracking devices in them to, from to time, tip the police off on where the crime is taking place. Eventually the boy decided to use his toys to fight crime around his home in Kings Row. He sold his father's house and rebuilt the basement workshop into living quarters. During the remodeling he discovered that a closed off sewer network was close to the basement. He then tunneled into the network and built his own base of operations inside the sewer. From here he could tap into every security camera in Paragon City and used this to patrol the area. When he seen a crime going on he would send his toys, that are scattered around the city, to the location to handle the situation.
It was during his patrols where he noticed more and more kids and teenagers fighting the street gangs. It was also at this point where he realized how lonely he had become since he dropped out of school to run the store and patrol the city. Almost immediately the boy started working in another part of the sewer and built "The Clubhouse", a separate section that housed a medical bay, the boy's new workshop, kitchen, and lounge areas. He also expanded his base of operations to include a meeting table and more monitors. His idea was to offer the lone kid heroes of Paragon City a place to meet, a place to be safe, and a place to get away from their adult superiors.
The boy kept his father's name of Toy-Man and anytime he seen a kid or teenage hero in trouble he offered his assistance and his card, with directions on where to find The Toy Store and how to enter the clubhouse.
