EternalPhoenix Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) So, as some of you know I'm a big fan of Sentinels of the Multiverse. What I'd like to do is to GM a plot or three based on some of the villains from the game. I'm itching to do The Matriarch in particular, but the tags show everyone I'm interested in. I'll do a quick outline for those who don't know who these people are. The Chairman-Master of a vast criminal empire. Hordes of minions and low PL lieutenants, plus his ace in the hole, The Operative. The game can't be won while she remains undefeated. This thread probably wouldn't be that combat-y. This would definitely be Cowl friendly. The Chairman is a foe even the Raven wouldn't dare take on lightly and/or alone, in either incarnation. He is secretly a high level police officer, so it'd be a helluva thing to take him down. The Dreamer (underway, sorry)-Psionic child whose powers have gone totally out of control. In the beginning she's asleep and the heroes only have to deal with her projections. They're fairly powerful, but mostly minions. I'd probably throw in a non-minion or two just to keep things spicy. After you clear them the first time, the girl wakes up. Only she's not running the show in her head. Her power is in charge. The heroes have to defeat a certain amount of projections before the poor girl's nightmare is finally over for good. And she's a fragile one. Knocking her out is NOT an option. In fact, it'd just make things irredeemably worse. Kismet-Pretty simple, actually. Device using Luck Controller gone amok. The hero points would fly in this one. No minions, but tons of complications until she finally goes down. She'll be a low level reality warping trickster, and decidedly a pain in the butt for our heroes. The Matriarch(underway, sorry)-A sheltered and protected rich girl finds a magical artifact and forcefully takes her freedom. A mask, with the power to control birds. Yes, she's another one with hordes of minions. I've got two non-minions in mind for the rest of them. It'd be like Hitchcock's The Birds, only with a person controlling them all. A adult woman tasting power and freedom, taking revenge, and refusing to give any of it up. Plague Rat-He's about as simple as Kismet. Something's gone wrong in the sewers. People are disappearing. Turns out, a poisonous massive rodent has appeared down there, and he's got a grudge against humanity. As much as something without human intelligence can hold a grudge, anyway. There you have it. Let me know if you're interested in any of those. Edited April 1, 2016 by EternalPhoenix Link to comment
angrydurf Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'd be interested in getting Sandman in on the Dreamer as it's pretty solidly in his wheelhouse. Chairman might be better served with using one of the existing Masterminds in the setting? There are a few out there with potential. Link to comment
Tiffany Korta Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have a veritable plethora of character ready willing and able . I'd like to push forward Triakosia and Klara for anything suitable, and Miss True would be good for the Dreamer. Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Cool, cool. I'd like to state for the record that only the Chairman is particularly Cowl focused. The rest of just kinda fighty. And maybe a little runny. Kismet would be...well, complicated. Heh. Link to comment
Blarghy Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'm already in a few of your games, so don't put priority on me, but if you need somebody to fill a slot, I'm interested. For either Leviathan or, when he gets a second approval, Adept. Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Okay, revamp on The Matriarch. I can do what I want to with her without the minion hordes. Just had to build her right. The two non-minons will remain, but it won't be as quite as easy as a straight fight. Additionally, if you two are ready I can start brainstorming the OP for The Dreamer today. I was hoping for three, but eh, whatever. Edited March 9, 2016 by EternalPhoenix Link to comment
R. Bluefish Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Starlight is a Cowl in terms of personality, if not skillset, so she may be suitable for the Chairman thread - or any of them, really, if there's a particular spot that needs filling. Similarly, Echo has the skillset (if not the personality) to also function as a Cowl if need be, but she's also flexible enough in terms of both personality and powers to be suitable for just about any of the proposed threads. Feel free to slot either of them in wherever you want, or not at all. Link to comment
angrydurf Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If you end up short on people I can toss Phalanx and/or Ace Danger in for threads. But if space is tight no worries I already have Sandman in one. Link to comment

Blue, you're not tagged because I thought I'd let you pick between Starlight and Echo. Link to comment
Avorez Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Throw Titan in wherever he's appropriate. Link to comment
MysticSquirrel Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If this is still a thing, I rather like the idea of tossing Fox Squirrel into the fray with Plague Rat or the Matriarch, provided there's still some interest there. Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Okay, so how's about Phalanx, Triakosia, Starlight, and Titan for Kismet? Distractions galore, but in a fight she'll go down as quick as you can tag her. And yes, I will be doing increasingly implausible things to keep your grubby little hands off her. As for you, sir squirrel, I'd like to have you on the Matriarch list. Ace Danger can go there, too. Tiff, if you like I can put Klara there as well, though I'm trying to avoid anyone with Impervious Toughness. Link to comment
MysticSquirrel Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Super! I'm totally down for some action a la The Birds! Edited March 23, 2016 by MysticSquirrel Link to comment
Sophistemon Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Presto versus the Matriarch sounds good, if you'll have me. Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Presto is certainly in! So that's four. Ace Danger, Fox Squirrel, Klara, and Presto. Post away. http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/8879-unkindness-conspiracy-and-murder/ http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/8880-unkindness-conspiracy-and-murder-ooc/ Link to comment
olopi Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Throw in Bonfire for whichever one works! Link to comment
Supercape Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ill throw Flintlock in - the Hitchcock Birdwoman sounds most interesting! Link to comment
DevilsAdvocate Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Warlock is game... as long as the superheroics don't make him late for class! Link to comment
