It's actually more Werewolf: The Apocalypse than : The Forsaken, I never quite got into the Forsaken for some reason.

Vortex

Image

If you'd asked Vortex if he thought that he'd ever be one of the senior members of the Sentinels, looked to by others for leadership, he'd have laughed at you. And yet somehow that's happened. Princess frequently puts him in charge of whichever sub-team of the group she's not leading personally, and while that's mostly because he's their best escape ticket if things turn hairy, it's not only because of that. He's also developed the instincts to know when to punch that escape ticket, and when not to do so as well.

If nothing else, he demonstrates his qualities as a crimefighter by the scope of his enemies. While he still needs help from the rest of the team when Professor Zed shows up, he was able to single-handedly overcome Cerebrus Rex the last time they fought -- though that was with a lot of luck, and a good deal of carelessness on the dinosaur's part. Upon defeating him, Vortex returned Cerebrus Rex to his own timeline and had a short adventure there, assisting a nation of Simians in the process.

These adventures on other worlds are becoming a thing for him. Vortex has learned he's visited as many parallel worlds and strange dimensions in the few years he's been active as the Atom Family has in their entire decades-long history, with his accounts comprising roughly a third of the entries in the Freedom League's Multiversal Database. The fact that he's one of the few superheroes with dimensional travel powers has often resulted in him being contacted by other heroes and used as a dimensional traveling courier, something he's not all that thrilled about, but endures nonetheless.

By now, the fact that he got his start as a burglar has been all but forgotten by most people. It hasn't been forgotten by the law, however, and so Vortex found himself 'volunteered' to assist in the creation of a version of Freedom City's notorious Project Freedom in Emerald City, giving advice and guidance to paroled supercriminals, and sometimes leading them in clean-up duties. Honestly, he's ridiculously ill-suited to this sort of thing, and would love to push it off onto someone else, but nobody on the team seems appropriate, now that Victor has left.

Justicar

Image

Before the Silver Storm, Cody Reese was employed in the ECPD forensics lab. An excellent crime scene analyst, he was shy, introverted and just a bit too impressed with his own intelligence. He was also becoming increasingly frustrated at the way that his analysis of crime scenes and discovery of airtight evidence kept being used to pressure criminals into accepting plea deals rather than for convictions, not to mention the way that he was accused of being naive when he complained about the subject.

The Silver Storm turned his body into that of a muscleman and gave him the ability to make people fear him with a thought. It also affected his brain, but not enough to make him run wild like other victims of the incident did. Instead, he began spending his nights as the Justicar, a gunslinging vigilante with a gothic motif, and pursued those criminals whom he believed had escaped their punishment. His activities soon attracted the attention of the Rook, who prevented him from killing any of his targets during his first few months of activities, though the Justicar always escaped capture.

In September of 2012, however, the Justicar was one of several stormers placed under the direct control of Tellax for an assault on the Sentinels and MarsTech. Horrified at having been forced to attack the innocent and fellow crimefighters (as he saw the Sentinels) he surrendered to the authorities as soon as the control was lifted, and went to jail. The Rook continued to take an interest in his case, and persuaded the police to place the Justicar in his own custody.

Forced in the most direct way possible to realize that even "good" people could do "bad" things, Cody Reese's black and white worldview was badly damaged. It received further shocks as the Rook revealed to him that at least one of the people he'd tried to murder because of the way they'd "gotten away with it" had had all that "airtight evidence" against them because they'd been framed, and rather effectively, by one of the numerous secret agencies and conspiracies active in Emerald City. "'No-nonsense' solutions like yours ignore the fact that the world is full of nonsense!" the Rook told him.

Despite that, the Rook was also unable to deny that the Justicar had been a very effective operator, and that he could become a genuinely useful ally in the Sentinels' activities. He took Cody under his wing, outfitted him with AEGIS-issued blasters (theoretically less lethal weapons than the Desert Eagles he'd been using up until this point) and gave him some personal training. Following the example of Vortex, the Justicar became a probationary member of the Sentinels early in 2014, and has remained with the team ever since. He also left the ECPD forensics lab and went to work for a private forensic firm.

The Justicar was tempted to quit after the dispute that led to the Rook leaving, as he agreed with his friend and mentor completely, but the Rook urged him to remain and continue to stand for what they both believed in. The entire sordid affair is bringing his old tendencies to the fore, though, and it's very possible that he's going to do something he regrets before too long. His relationship with Kim Kamada is providing a lot of stress relief, however.

Justicar -- PL 10

Abilities: STR 8 | STA 4 | AGL 3 | DEX 4 | FGT 9 | | INT 2 | AWE 4 | PRE 3

Tenfold

Image

Eddie DeCamp was yet another perfectly normal soul -- a university freshman studying music at ECU -- who was transformed by the Silver Storm. He became roughly ten times stronger, faster, tougher and (maybe) smarter than the average human. Now, while that's not all that impressive in a world where there are people who are much stronger, faster, tougher or smarter than even that, his combination of abilities -- and the fact that their acquisition didn't drive him into a frenzy -- marked him out as a bit more than the norm.

Naturally, given these talents, Eddie's desire was to make sure everyone knew how great he was. To his credit, he did understand the distinction between notoriety and fame, and wanted to become famous as a hero, not a villain. He'd only gotten as far as designing a costume when his mind was taken over by the Commander and he was used to attack Redshift Energies. He recovered after a day, but the fact that the first footage of him was going to be of his criminal enterprises was a serious blow to his plans for an action figure deal.

Eddie had an image problem. On the other hand, stormers in general had an image problem. Come to think of it, those who fought stormers had an image problem they didn't even know about yet. He waited until things had settled down from the whole alien robot trying to transform the world business, and then approached the Sentinels about joining. They politely turned him down, and he smiled and told them that he'd wait until they changed their minds. The very next day the first "Sentinels call stormers a menace to society" headline was on the news.

The debate over how (and if) the team should answer the criticism that they were too harsh on stormers lasted almost a full year. All the while, Tenfold kept right on fighting crime, showing up at the oddest times to help individual members of the Sentinels whenever there were a lot of media attention on them, wearing an Allegria-designed costume and looking good for the cameras. Finally, it was decided to offer him membership on the team, which was -- of course -- announced at a press conference.

Ever since, Tenfold has been working away to raise the Sentinels' media profile as well as his own. Sometimes these clever little schemes have had unexpected dividends, such as the time that he invited Bay City's Champions up to Emerald City so that the two teams could work together, with him busily sabotaging the Champions. His underhanded efforts came to naught, but the other members of the two teams formed a good working relationship, and nobody else realized what he was up to. (Or at least didn't say anything.) Other times, such as when the team almost found out what it looks like when Princess loses her temper after she found out that the rumors about her and Tenfold having wild sex in Cabo came from none other than the man himself, have come close to seeing him kicked out of the group.

Currently, Tenfold's efforts to keep the team's absence from Earth from the public has ensured that his most recent errors of judgement are being overlooked. It's something of a shame that he's so focused on fame, really, because he's also surprisingly loyal. Whenever the 'Sentinels Scramble!' call goes out, he's always one of the first to arrive, and never sends his apologies because he's got something else going on. On the other hand, it's been noted that his life is kind of empty other than his drive for fame and membership in the Sentinels, so he really doesn't have anything else going on.

Tenfold -- PL 10

Abilities: STR 5/1 | STA 6/2 | AGL 5/1 | DEX 6/2 | FGT 8/4 | INT 5/1 | AWE 5/1 | PRE 6/2

Yes, there's no real question about it. On t'other hand, he raised a valid point in the process.

I think his greatest fear is being set back to to his pre-Stormer life as a university student AND that he might've been far happier than he is now had he stayed that way.

Probably not -- he was never that good of a musician.

Firepower

Image

On the one hand, Nathan Collins feels like he has come a long way since the day he first arrived in Freedom City to attend Claremont Academy. After all, he was part of the Precursor Stones quest! And yet he still feels like he's easily overlooked. It's almost like some writer somewhere had introduced him as a member of his current team and then had absolutely no idea what to do with him afterwards ...

Actually, it's exactly like that. Cripes this guy is boring.
