Shield,

refering to what we discussed the other day. i havn't told Jeri how i feel about her yet & my character is nervious about doing so as he is not sure if she wants to stay close friends or or move on to something more serious (thought that is what he wants). He is scared to make the move for fear of losing his closest friend & the women he loves. She has yet to tell him anything though she may simply be waiting on him. :confused: Or she may be is the same boat as he is unsure how he feels about her & waiting on him to make the first move.
 


NFL in Freedom City World

As you might have guessed, I have replaced Baltimore in our world with Freedom City. As you also may have figured out from the Sports section of the Daily Herald, Freedom City played Green Bay in the playoffs, which means they are an NFC team - oops, this kind of screws with a few things since Baltimore in the real NFL is in the AFC. Sure, I could go back and change it, but why not mess with things if I can?

Anyway, feel free to ignore this, but I wanted to post this realignment in case I ever want to use this material in a game.

United Heroes

The West Coast of the US has a very famous superhero team known as United Heroes. These supers are known throughout the country, and though they are currently based on the west coast, they often travel to face threats in other parts of the country or the world.

There are two teams right now, and an interesting story as to why there are two teams and not just one. There was a United Heroes formed in the 1980s, but the entire team was trapped in an alternate dimension known as Pandemonium until very recently. In the meantime, another team formed and used the name. Thus, when the 'old school' team was freed (by the new guys), there was a little bit of a controversy. Everything was worked out, and they are basically two parts of the same team.

Here are the current rosters as you would know them:

UH SAN FRANCISCO
Electrostatic: Fast and with electrical powers.

Harpy: AKA the pop singer Tabitha Harper. Mental powers.

Iron Dragon: Martial artist, very tough.

MorningStar: Fire powers.

Pathfinder: Tracking and super-senses, carries a crossbow.

The Scoundrel: High dex, two magic pistols, investigator.

Torpedo: Atlantean hero, swimming, decent strength and toughness.

Note: Seraph, a very popular team member, died in battle recently.

UH OLD SCHOOL
Acrobat Ace: Very agile and nimble, throws razor rings as well as puns.

Epsilon: Earth powers, very tough and strong.

Prodigy: Sometimes uncontrolled mental powers.

Puncture Proof: High strength and resistance, plus flight.

Wind Rider: Air control powers.

Sam Wylde: Steal powers, decent fighting ability.

Crusaders New York

The Crusaders, the most well known hero group in New York City, is a recent development. These heroes were until very recently solo heroes, but joined forces to battle Cyber-Knight and some other villains who were threatening the Crusaders' city.

Here is the current roster as it is known:

THE CRUSADERS
Beacon: Changes into pure light energy.

Empath: Pacifist with healing and telepathic powers.

Freefall: Armor suit with leaping and super strength.

Pickpocket: Teleportation and power stealing abilities.

Syphon: Absorption and energy redirection powers.

Wavelength: Magnetic and other energy control powers.
 

Global Villains

The following villains do not have a base of operations as such (or if they do, it is unknown), and are known to cause trouble all over the world.

Barracuda: Atlantean villain and arch enemy of Torpedo. Natural weapons and high strength/toughness.

Bombardier: Gadgeteer with a variety of area attacks and other super-science goodies.

Cyber-Knight: Looks like a knight from medieval times, but is cybernetically enhanced, and comes complete with a robotic horse.

The Duchess: Vampiress. She can drain your blood and such.

Epicenter: Earthquake inducing powers.

Fang: Feral, with natural weapons and regen.

Icon: Alien who has come to Earth to cause trouble and steal our women. No joke.

Lodestone: Made of magnetic nickel, he has magnetic powers.

Mana: It was thought that this sorceress may have turned toward the heroic side, but this has not been confirmed.

Oracle: This mentalist can see the future and has a host of other mental powers. His son Omen, who has many of the same powers, may or may not also be a villain.

The Outsider: Another villainous alien, this guy teleports and uses high-tech whips.

Psi-Blade: This villainess combines mental powers with martial arts prowess.

Surge: This villain has electrical powers and high speed.

Technomancer: This crazed inventor uses robots and such.

Trickster: Illusionist of the highest order, also has many mental powers and is very charismatic. Extremely dangerous.
 

Here's what I found among the documents our 'friend' was looking though.

The documents appear to be part of a series of files detailing property held as corporate assets but kept in storage.

Most of these documents record checking in and out of these properties from the 1970s. They are all labeled either White Mountain Corporation or Grant Conglomerates.

It turns out that White Mountain received auctioned property from the Freedom City PD in 1979.

All documents detailing the properties themselves are missing, but there are some ancillary documents referencing the properties, but they just refer to lot numbers, etc.

All of the FCPD documents are signed by a Det. Mike Alquist and dated from 1978-79.

There are some gaps in file, I am assuming that's what he took. We need to see if we can dig more up on this.

One thing we might need to remember is that sparky ( the inventer of the traking device) is walter mcnalty. & that we think it is being held at the kingston substaition. We may want to track this stuff down given the grant conglomererates history after all this is over.

As to the kids i can follow them in mist form almost invisably & make sure they don't get in trouble. the only thing that might get in in the way is that Bombardier knows that i have a mist form & may have set a trap such an intruder. but i am willing to take that risk. ;)
