RECRUITMENT PHASE 8

Removing Team Players

Important! Two new methods have been added below: Handing in criminal team mates, and creating spinoff teams,

Spoiler: Letting Players Go (click to show/hide)

Players may remove existing team members in one of four ways:

Let Go: Thing didn't work out. Team member leaves. -1 attendee at the next tryout (this malus can stack if you fire multiple heroes).
Run Out: They'll never work in this town again! Team Leader gains "Hates [team member]" and the team member gains "Hates [team leader]" and leaves the team and gains -1 fame from the ignominy.
Revolt: The team leader is thrown out! The old leader gains "Hates [team name]", -1 fame from the ignominy and leaves the team. Pick a new team leader.
Hand in: Any team member with Infamy greater than their Fame may be handed in to custody. The ex-team mate gains "Hates [team name]" and is placed in custody, and is also barred from the Clemency program. This is the only way of removing a team member who is currently unreformed and on a team with Clemency.
Spinoff: Pick at least three team members (who have fame higher than their infamy, and have each been on at least one non-personal mission) and choose a new team name. They leave the team permanently to set up their own spin-off team in a nearby city (choose Stoney Island, Las Destinos, or Leadville).* Gain +1 team fame for each member lost this way, and randomly gain an opportunity every opportunity phase or a cross-over from the new team.

*Stoney Island: Small island town dominated by a carnival, once a tourist spot now completely overrun by Crimson Plague .
Las Destinos: Large city famed for its nightlife and casinos; like if Dusk Beach was a whole city.
Leadville: Medum-sized post-industrial city. Run down, lots of unemployed, a fertile recruiting ground for powered gangs.

Hiring
Everyone who has slots may either seek to recruit one hero from the recruitment pool OR they may hold tryouts to fill all slots.

Due to the Mayor's Clemency: in addition to any other recruitment, teams may take one one villain in custody onto their team (ignoring requirements like fame and max team size). Once they are redeemed (fame higher than infamy), you may recruit again in this way. Villains recruited still count towards your team size as normal. Villains have fame 0 by default.

You can't recruit someone with a higher fame than your team's fame. If two people try to recruit the same hero from the pool, I'll flip to see who gets to them first.

Justinian isn't actually in custody already right?

Luke looks over his cache of weapons and explosives and decides it is really nice. Wouldn't it be nice to have explosives all the time? Then they'd be able to take down giant robots and cars no problem! Probably! There is naturally one thing he can do to make that dream a reality.

Recruit Lord Bombarrel! If Bombarrel is successfully recruited, he'll demonstrate his explosive prowess by expanding the base. Otherwise everyone else will be busy with vengeance and/or saving people, so we don't have a turn to spare.

Name: Luke Teach
Gender: Male
Appearance: An out of shape man in his 30s with male pattern baldness. Wears an overpriced suit with armored lining. What's left of his hair is black, with dark brown eyes.
Alter-ego/backstory: Luke was a janitor at the local university before awakening his powers. With no close friends or family, he was considered by most people to be a loser. One day gambling at Big Pig after a night of drinking he was caught in the middle of a super hero battle, which would have certainly killed him if it was not for his powers awakening. With his new found powers he immediately begun amassing wealth and success. Feeling unfulfilled after having success handed to him (and perhaps spurred on by his new found desire for conflict) he decided to go into the super hero business, setting the place he discovered his powers as headquarters out of a sense of nostalgia.
Power: Probability Manipulation: Ambient physical distortions and enhanced dexterity resulting in uncanny "lucky" aura. Gadget arm, I swear I had it on my sheet at some point.

Leader
Name: Caroline Frisk (real name)/Retry (“super” name)/DeterminedDreamer (online username)
Gender: Female
Appearance: A young woman with short, auburn hair and red eyes that lack pupils, instead consisting of a seemingly endless set of concentric rings. While fighting crime, Retry wears a long, dark-green hooded coat over a suit of gold-looking armor, as well as a heart necklace. Presumably, the armor's interior is padded to similar comfort levels as her older clothing. She wields a pair of tonfas.
Alter-ego/backstory: Caroline, like many people with too much curiosity and free time and not enough sense of self-preservation, decided that it would be fun to go explore an abandoned facility to see if she could find anything interesting. For a variety of reasons, this was an enormous mistake, as some facilities are either abandoned for a reason or are less abandoned than they first seem. Now, she’s not exactly talking about any of the specifics of what happened, but it certainly seems that she regrets what she did. Except for the small fact that it doesn’t seem she ever actually did it, and her accounting of what day it is was off by one.
Power: Stable Time Loop: Retry casts herself back into the past, or perhaps she foresees forward... in either case, with concentration and over short periods, from her perspective appears to reset the position of reality from a few seconds to minutes.

Electrogirdle: wearer gains powers "Super Strength", "Super Jumping" and trait "Tires easily" while it is worn.

It should have been a good day. It was supposed to be a good day. Everybody went to their missions. Everybody succeeded at their missions.

Everybody should have come back from their missions.

Everybody had been waiting. Jacques had shown everybody the electrogirdle. It would have been perfect for her. Everybody knew it.

And then there was a knock at the door. Sally had a key, she could have let herself in. Should have let herself in. Was supposed to let herself in. Just like all the times before.
It was home. You didn't need to knock. But, well. Of course, the knock wasn't Sally.

Caroline... shut down. She held Allison as her friend cried, but she just felt... numb. Empty.

She'd been a hero in her last moments, they said. She'd been a hero this entire fucking time. She'd seen a young, aimless kid - and she was still a damn kid, she should be in college right now, what was she doing - Sally had seen a young kid, raring to do something, holed up in some random abandoned lab, probably going to get herself hurt - and she helped her. She talked to her. She showed her how to do all the things she'd ever wanted to do, and showed her how to only do the ones she wanted to do at her best moments. She showed her how to be what she was supposed to be.

And now she was dead. She'd be buried no more than a five minute walk away.

It could have been worse. She knew it could have been so much worse. So many people could have died. Would have died.

But she was selfish.

She wanted Sally back.


Two days later, Thomas pulled Caroline aside, into the kitchen.

"...so. I've, ah, been thinking." He gently raps on his head, trying to get a bit of humor through the recent gloom. His face falls a bit when it's clear it didn't really work, but he moves on. "I... had a speech prepared for this, but I don't think you'd appreciate that right now. It's that- well, Jacques would be on the streets without the Watch, or maybe dead like his brother. David, too, or worse. And I still don't fully trust Hijank, but she's been helping, and I think she's getting better, so she's probably another good example here. The Watch is good at helping people who don't have other opportunities. But Zircon City's a kind of saturated market. So I was thinking.
Leadville doesn't have all the heroes we've got here. What they have is unemployment that isn't getting better, a lot of people stressed over poverty and crime, and a lot of groups of supers who are grey at best. Any new wannabe heroes get targeted by the gangs before they figure out what they're doing. Anybody else joins the gangs, because they don't have any other options. They need people who can help, people who can give them a chance to rise above where they are today.
I was talking with Jacques and Johanna. We can reach out to people, and we can protect ourselves and others from the gangs. We can make a difference there. We can- we can-"

He was interrupted by a hug. The two of them stood there, absorbing the moment, before Caroline finally let go - and gestured at the table.

On it was a sheet of paper, with a picture. A picture of tents and ramshackle buildings, kept safe behind a palisade wall.
And in the center, was a watchtower.
You'll do great.


Saluki will lead a spin-off of the Watch, known as Watchtower. It will - at least for now - be comprised of himself, Anuran, and M3, and be based in Leadville.
The Watch will hold tryouts, geared toward cohesion. At least one hero skilled at intel-gathering and administrative functions is preferred.

Alter-ego/backstory: Jack Dandy was born Donald Arthur Whisk, but took up a more pleasing stage name at the age of 13. At 15 he landed a breakout role as the spunky sidekick in a cheap but popular science fiction flick, which taught him that not only could he succeed as an actor, he could inspire people while doing it. As he grew older, he transitioned from heroic supporting roles to the main man himself, but he never lost the humility and enthusiasm that made him so popular with audiences. One day during a difficult shoot, a costar was almost crushed by a collapsing prop before Jack was able to leap to his rescue from some thirty feet away. Jack Dandy has been inspiring and entertaining on a bigger stage ever since.
Power: Hyper-Athletics: Peak gymnastic performance that pushes past the edge of what was previously thought humanly possible.
