<p>No real "roles" to worry about. We have a Blob/master chemist, a ghost/assassin, a literal everyman who's player is learning the system, and an invisible flying artillery piece. </p>

<p>The Necessary Evil campaign for Savage Worlds has long been a favorite of mine, so much a favorite that I am taking the likely insane step of translating it into play-by-post.</p>

<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Most Characters in NE are villains. Not in the class of Lex Luthor or Dr. Doom, yet, but a step up from killers like Zsasz. As the players guide puts it:</p>
<p><b>Evil, Not Psychotic
<br />
Necessary Evil is all about playing the villains of four-color comics, with their grand schemes of world domination and destruction. While these villains may be murderous and megalomaniacal, they don’t tend to be mindless killers without purpose. The super-villain you make up should at least have the potential for working with other super-villains. While playing a completely anti-social psychotic does have its charms, it does not usually make for good team game-play. Take some time to consider why your villain would cooperate with other villains, especially under the circumstances. Your villain could certainly murder his fellow compatriots at a later date to serve his own goals, but for the time being, he ought to realize he’s more powerful with others by his side.</b></p>
<p>So take Mark Hamill's Joker as the boundary line ok?</p>

<p>What I need from you.
<br />
First off I am not requesting full characters. If you have the books go for it. Even supers are pretty quick to build in Savage Worlds. I am requesting answers to the following questions They are partly housekeeping, partly to give me an idea of you as a player, and partly to assist me in world building.</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Again a full character is NOT required to apply. Just the answers to the questions. That said I know folks will want the detailed info.
<br />
Most of what you are looking for in on the Campaign page of this game under the "Character generation guidelines, setting rules and advice, Gear" spoiler. But here is the quick version.</p>
<p>Standard SWADE creation rules. With More Skill Points, Born a Hero, and Larger Than Life setting rules in effect. Free SPC style AB Superpowers Rank 3 edge for everyone. See books & Campaign page for many more details.</p>
<p>Restrictions on origins:
<br />
<i>No aliens.</i> Atlanteans/Humans or Hybrids are fine. If you really want to play something from off world then make your case but it will not be easy.
<br />
<i>No Robots.</i> Cyborgs are fine. You may even think you are a robot but there is meat in there somewhere. </p>
<p><b>Important note on plot and tone.</b> This is not your usual supers game. This is much darker. The players are a brand new cell in a rag-tag resistance movement facing overwhelming odds. Think the American revolution but without the French coming to pull the American bacon out of the fire. This campaign has been likened more to Shadowrun than Marvel Super Heroes. You can win but you will have to quick, quiet, and above all smart to have a chance.</p>"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans." ~Stephen Hawking
