@Ironperenti First, I love your timeline. Marvel, DC and Champions all mashed together. I stopped regularly playing Champs before the Millennium stuff, so I enjoyed the development to recent years, especially the reveal of Achilles as the leader of both UNTIL and Hydra!
Second, the Gameplay thread indicates that the group starts in Vibora Bay and infers that that location is near the Florida panhandle. Is Vibora Tampa?
With the heroes that are already declared, I was thinking about bringing in a magic-based utility/sneaky hero. I found in the timeline, "2012: An extra dimensional invasion from the shadow realm is stopped by a group of independent heroes in Vibora Bay." So, I was thinking that a shadow realm denizen who did not support the invasion but maybe went along with it to escape the shadow realm deserted and stayed in Vibora Bay. After observing the locals, they set up a supernatural tourist shop and introduced themselves as an immigrant from Europe. That was about seven years ago. Then, when the local superhero group starts working together, my character joins up.
Would appreciate all feedback, especially about the Shadow Realm. I was thinking it's like the Fey Court or Dark Elf realm of Norse, but would greatly appreciate your perspective, so I can align.
Cheers
A Dökkálfar sounds really cool - love the idea of them running a local shop of supernatural curios and the like.
The shadow realm was never fleshed out. I had a main villain, Nightshade, who had shadow powers to drain life, had a dark strength, and could turn people into shadow slaves. He had a simple megalomaniacal goal of turning earth into a world of slaves and ruling. At his beck and call were lesser versions of himself, Nightshade Forerunners, and Shadow demons. We had one superhero based somewhat on a connection with this dark realm who had portals he could open in defense of himself and somehow he had a grasping darkness type of portal that would drain opponents and try to drag them into the darkness. You can riff off of that what you will.
Vibora Bay is just up the road from Panama City, I think Freeefall sent a map link.
I'll give Jubal a day or so to get something ginned up. Once everyone has posted in gameplay I'll adjust the scene. Being in different areas will make it interesting.
Oh, I tend to use roll20 for maps. Is that an issue for anyone?
While I prefer not having to log into something to see a map, I have a Roll20 account so I can access it.

Ok. The Shadow World was more undead than I was thinking, so I'm going to pivot.
In the timeline, there's "1940: Hydra reopens the Bifrost bridge to the lands of Asgard. Using the hypno-wash, the Red Skull (Johann Schmidt) is able to dominate Asgardian ogres and brings them over to fight for the Axis powers. Thor soon returns to midgard to deal with the ogres." and "1945: The Red Skull is defeated by Captain America and apparently dies in his booby trapped chateau. The explosion destroys the connection to the Bifrost pulling the ogres and Thor back to Asgard."
So, I'm going to run a Dökkálfar who sneaked over the Bifrost and emigrated to Florida after the war. He currently runs that curio shop in Vibora Bay and has recently joined the team after the hurricane to help his new neighbors.
@Ironperenti I'm probably going to need the weekend to finish the character, but I'll get a profile together and a Gameplay post asap.
Thanks
Roll20 works for me as well.
Oh. and Roll20 is perfect for me
Roll20 has been a bit spotty for me in the past, but aye works.
Talisman is posted asap. His character build is in the Profile.
Any and all feedback are welcome. Even, a better superhero name than Talisman.
