"They call me Johnny Law. I'm Chief of Police here in this Vigil City. It's ain't an easy job.
You got your crooks, your con-artist, your thugs, typical crimes any city in this God forsaken country has got.
The thing they don't got? Costumed freaks polluting the airways, impeding on the jobs hard working men like myself have to do for a living.
Hell, I got to wear this damned tech crap just to be able to keep up with the ones committing crimes they can't slide under the noses honest people.
They're nothing though, it's the capes you got to worry about. The ones parading around saying they're heroes.
Claiming that what they do is for the betterment of mankind and society and all of that bullcrap.
You'll see, kid. They'll try to take over one day. And everyone is too blind to see it.
Good, honest folk just being walked all over because they can't see the evil in these freaks."

-Chief of Police, Johnny Law to a rookie cop.

 

[LoyalHound]

Welcome to Vigil City, home to America's largest population of Heroes (and Villains).
It's a great town if you don't mind the occasional fight between super powered beings.
Or the occasional villainous mastermind trying to take over the city.
With so many heroes about and a top notch police force cracking down on crime it's really a safe place to live.

The group known as the Freedom Armada runs the show for heroes.
A team of three great heroes who once saved the city from utter annihilation. These heroes are Captain Ace, Spellbinder, and Technic Cole.
With those three running the show for all heroes, the city is relatively low on crime.
Sure there's a robbery here and there and perhaps the occasional murder.
But, these crimes are swiftly dealt with by the Freedom Armada and the VCPD.

Speaking of the VCPD, Officer Markus "Johnny Law" Crow is the Chief or Police.
During his time as Chief of Police, crime has come to all but disappear.
He's increased the police force, number of patrols, got them better training, and equipment.
Yet, it's a little known fact old Johnny Law doesn't care much of the capes.
Chief Markus intends on improving the VCPD until they are capable of tackling super human threats without the aid of Heroes.
This has gotten mixed reviews by the public. Some people, even some heroes think that such a thing may be good for the city.
Others disagree and believe heroes are as every bit important for the safety of civilians as the police are.
It matters little, Officer Markus intends to see this goal realized one way or another.





























It's the second term of Johnny Law's run as Chief of Police and crime seems to be on the rise.
Criminal organizations have sprung up all over and a new crop of super villains are on the rise.
Both the VCPD and the Freedom Armada have their hands full.
Naturally, Officer Markus has taken to blaming the heroes and running a small smear campaign against them.
But, amidst all the chaos of Good versus Evil another group has risen through the cracks.

This group is known as the Warband. Five super humans all working together to rid the town of crime.
However, neither heroes of the VCPD like this group.
Since the Warband hit the streets a number of the small time gangs that started were shutdown, six feet under the ground.
They murder the murderers, set fire to the arsonists, and decapitate the evil masterminds.
Many fear this new group, seeing them only as super powered psychopaths.
A small few idolize this group, viewing their extreme methods of stopping crime a good thing.
Heroes, Villains, and VCPD alike despise this group entirely.

And old Johnny Law was forced to make his move.
Following the Warband's exploits of killing criminals, Johnny Law began pushing for new laws.
These laws would force all super powered people to register their real name, alias, and powers with the Department of Justice.
Failure to comply with the new law meant prison for that person and any who helped to hide that person.
A new person was made, one specifically built to contain super-humans.
The VCPD also got new equipment designed to nullify super-powers.
Officer Markus also demanded full cooperation from the Freedom Armada. Heroes couldn't make a move without his say so.
Vigil City had nearly become a police state.
With all this new gear and the heroes under his foot, nothing would stop him from ridding the city of the 'freaks' he so despised.

Until the Warband took the fight to them.

The People You Need to Know
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════





The Warband

Beware the skull of the bull as it's the mark of the Warband. Various areas are tattooed with this graffiti as a statement meaning that the area is under the jurisdiction of the Warband. While they have no legal claim over any of these areas, it is stalked upon thoroughly by the five members of the group. Criminals and VCPD loyalist are driven out, the former are usually killed depending on their crime.

Their methods may seem barbaric to most, and this may be in due part to the leader, but it is the group's belief that the most vile of criminals should be put down for their crimes against their fellow man. They understand that at the end of the day, the same could apply to them. The only thing they believe makes them stand above criminals is their rule to never to harm innocent people. It's a rule they've followed well so far.

They strongly oppose Officer Markus. They view his plans like they are just as vile and cruel as they villains he tries to lock away. To them, removing the freedoms of heroes is just as wicked an act as murdering a person, if not worse. Johnny Law is not their only problem. The Warband is forced to deal with the heroes as they are often set against them. And of course, villains would rather see this group gone as well.

The members of this group are as follows:

Rothgar Gunnarsvard
AKA: Steel Savage (Steel, Savage, or S.S. for short)
This man is the proclaimed leader of the group.
He chooses not to hide his face.

The Freedom Armada

The Freedom Armada use to be a name spoken with high regards and esteem. Now this group is effectively crushed under the boot of Johnny Law. They are little more than an extension of the VCPD and one rarely used at that. The only time they ever get to see any action is against the Warband and some suspect it's only in hopes they lose their lives against the vigilante group. If they win, Officer Markus gets to take the credit and the Armada is no better off than they are now. If they lose, not only are they dead but more civilian's end up siding with Markus' cause. Captain Ace and his crew are torn between upholding the laws they choose to protect and keeping the title of heroes or siding with the Warband in hopes to end Johnny Law's police state.

(More to be added soon.)

The Vigil City Police Department

A super police force under Officer Markus' lead. They're like any other police force but with the additional task of detaining super powered individuals should they step out of line in accordance to the law. They are armed with the latest technology designed to handle your typical thug with great ease and to make tackling a super much easier. The devices and weapons they care can nullify super powers through some process currently unknown to the public. All anyone knows is that it works and it works well. Any crime committed under their watch is treated with extreme prejudice.


Markus "Johnny Law" Crow runs the whole show. Since the Warband's arrival his hatred for super powered individuals has done nothing but skyrocket. He views the Warband as a serious threat to his goals but has since played it cool to anyone who'd ask. Though with the way things are going, he sees his goals of an ideal city almost realized. All he was to do is get rid of the Warband and every other super powered freak in the city. It's a tough plan to pull off but he's sure he can make the whole thing work for him.

(More info coming soon. Criminal organizations to be put up at a later date.)

*There may be some information that is not predefined for some characters. I leave that up to you to fill out any other information that I have left blank. Make the character your own but do try and stay true to what is already provided.


Concerning the Power/Trait/Gadget Lines.
To fill out these links first select whether it's a power, a trait, or a gadget. You can choose to have all three of one or a mix of any but three is your limit.

Power: Anything that can't normally be done by a regular human being. This can be magic, flight, pyrokinesis, telekinesis, etc.

Trait: These are things normal humans can do but super humans and mutants do them better. Or, maybe you're just a well trained human and you've developed a skill to near super human levels. Traits put you above your average civilian but just below super humans and mutants. Things like enhanced strength and speed, superb sight or hearing, excellent acrobatic skills, etc.

Gadget: Not every hero has a super power. Sometimes gadgets put you up in those ranks. If it's something tech related giving you super human abilities be sure to put it down and explain what it does.

Rothgar "Steel Savage" Gunnarsvard
Played by LoyalHound

show spoilerhide spoiler

Username:LoyalHound
Character Name:Rothgar Gunnarsvard
Alias: Steel Savage
Age: 31
Race: Super Human
Affiliation: Warband
Outlook: Rothgar sees the city turning into a giant hell hole under Markus' police state. While Markus hasn't officially said it, Rothgar believes Markus is trying to start an all out war against super humans. He finds revoking Markus' actions against super powered humans and the Freedom Armada revolting, worse than any criminal he's come up against.
Power: Pyrokinesis, creating, bending, and shaping fire to his will.
Trait: Enhanced strength. He's a muscular man to begin with but his punches pack and extra whallop. He can lift most small vehicles.
Trait: Enhanced Healing. Rothgar recovers from wounds a lot faster than most other people. What would be a broken bone for a month only takes a week from him to be healed and ready to go again.
Weapons: Various throwing knives, a greatsword, and a longsword.
Personality: Rothgar shows about as much emotion as a brick wall and is twice as stubborn as one. His spectrum of displayed emotions ranges from disapproval, to apathy, to anger and rage. Often, he's a calm and collected individual. He plans his actions carefully. However, when it comes to a fight Rothgar almost becomes another person entirely. He's a man who thrives in conflict and strife. If there was ever a moment you could say he was having fun, it was in the middle of an intense fight. There's a monstrous side to this however. Rothgar occasionally gets carried away, especially when angered. He goes berserk and doesn't quit until his enemy is dead before him. In this mindset, pain and death are tossed aside to reckless abandon.
History: It is unknown where this man came from. There's no medical records, no social security number, nothing to prove he ever existed at all in the world. That hasn't stopped him from making an impact on the world today. When he arrived in Vigil City during Markus' first term as Chief of Police, he took to the underground and the lower class population to recruit skilled talent. That skilled talent makes up the Warband as it's known today. Though, even his crew know little about him. He's said nothing other than what they needed to know. That change was coming, that the rights and lives of everyone, not just super humans, were in danger. During his time as leader, Rothgar has slain countless criminals, targeting the ones who do the most vile of crimes. From serial killers, to arsonist, to those who've done much, much worse. He spares not his blade from their neck depending on their crime.

Markus "Johnny Law" Crow

Username:
Character Name:Markus Crow
Alias: Johnny Law
Age:
Race: Human
Affiliation: VCPD
Outlook: Markus despises all super humans. He believes they are dangerous, that the heroes impeded on the jobs of hard working law enforcement officials like himself, and that they can't be trusted. Markus believes that one day the so called "Heroes" in the Freedom Armada will try to take over the country and enacted a plan to crush them thoroughly and bend them to his will. That was done, but the only problem he has now is the Warband. Fortunately for them, they're such a violent and barbaric group that he can easily convince the public they are dangerous psychopaths.
Trait: Special Ops Training: He wasn't always a law man. He use to work for the military way back when and picked up a few useful skills during. A mix of martial arts and plain old dirty fighting.
Gadget: Power Suit: This specially made suit is near invulnerable. Bullets are nothing to the specially made steel. It gives him enhanced strength and speed, enough to tackle any super human.
Gadget: Heads Up Display: A holographic image displays details about everything in front of him in the form of a screen in front of his face. It's made of hard light so it's also protective.
Weapons: Tech Knuckles: Markus prefers to fight with his fist. These knuckles were made to have two settings. One to nullify super powers, another to send to pulse of kinetic energy through whatever he hits. The latter setting can really do some damage.
Personality:
History: Before becoming Chief of Police, Markus was a part of the armed forces, Black Ops to be exact. With his dedication to his country and his skills learned during his training, Markus retired to work with the Vigil City Police Department. He never liked Super Humans, as to why is not exactly clear as he's never said anything for certain to anyone. During his time as an officer of the law, he's done everything in his power to reduce the activity of super heroes and villains in the city. The villains were easier to handle, beat them down and lock them up. The heroes were another matter. The citizens loved the Freedom Armada. To take them down he'd need to turn the public against them and the Warband's actions gave him the perfect excuse to start. He made sure laws were passed to oppress super humans all over the city. If they weren't registered with the Department of Justice they could be jailed and if they were, Markus knew who they were and what they were capable of. Now, it was just a matter of getting rid of the Warband.

Very competitive but at the same time empathic to a fault and over analytical, and sometimes too trusting leading to being gullible. Some family traits are hard to go against.
History: The youngest daughter to Hippy parents Strawberry was a straight-A student. A sulavitoran in high school next to her perfect sister ( Melon) valedictorian. Strawberry didn't know what to do with her self now she was out of her sisters shadow. She studied Sociology/Psychology in college before becoming a cop and she was an A student there as well. Her parent didn't like this chose they were more peace loving, equality very forgiving. She Blames her parents for some her flaws. but like all parents they are loving and supportive, critical of Johnny law's rules and proposed polices and her joining him, but supportive some times too supportive.

On the morning after hard core celebration with the other graduating cadets Strawberry woke to a hang over and wasn't feeling quit like her self as she stumbled to get ready to be come an officer of the law. the days after graduation got weirder and weirder while she started her beat. She could senses trouble happening before it was called in, a few time she swore she didn't take off her seat belt when getting out the squad car . and during one hostile morning during a stick up she swear the bullet went right thru her. what was going on and should she report her self or try and hid the fact that she woke up with super powers.
