It returns with the face of a man the entire world knows all too well. The Jade Emperor, ruthless leader of a small rogue Southeast Asian nation. Heroes have struggled against him since the New Age of Heroes began. At best it has been a stalemate, neither side overcoming the other, only to return to the ongoing war once more. Yet he is also known as an honorable man, willing to stand by his word and deed.
"People of the Earth, greetings to you all. I come to you not as a foe, but instead offer the hand of friendship. My network of sensors has detected an extrasolar object hurtling towards our common planet and will be arriving within the next 180 days. This deathbringer is larger than the one that ended the long forgotten age of the saurians. I, we, cannot allow that to happen again. I am the only one capable of dealing with this. I am the only one with a plan. Stand with me and be saved. If you do not prepared to be lost to the ages. Your countries have twenty four hours to surrender to me. Urge them to show wisdom." His confidence shows no question to this. He alone knows the path to salvation.
The screens return to normal.
Howdy!
I'm looking for a handful of players to tell the story with me, probably multiple parallel stories. I'm not going to be particularly picky about PLs or pps. I am looking for inspiring stories that we can tell together. I'm hoping for some cooperative world building in that direction too. No one character will have all the answers.
A few ideas to start from:
A high power hero that can't solve the problem alone but can be a huge part of the greater plan.
A street level hero that is working to stabilize their part of the world.
A villain that is trying to take advantage of the situation for their own nihilistic desires.
A villain that is trying to work towards the common good- after all, they live here too.
Questions? Comments? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

That said, I'd like to see the characters between PLs 8 and 12. PL 8 being more street level characters. PL 12 being more of the Justice League level characters. But that just describes the depth of the character. Characters could be more wider, having more pp per PL than normal. That also means that I don't need to have a lot of house rules on costs. This also puts extra responsibility on you guys to create a character that is narratively interesting without going too OP.
A rough guess is that:
The crew of the Solera is probably PL 9 and 10.
Otter- You concentrated on character rather than power (thank you!) but I'm guessing anywhere from 8- 11?
Silverfang-8-11 depending on how much power is in the character rather than the organization. Is he a relatively normal person that holds great power over a secret organization or is he an individual threat against superheroes?
Shock- lower or equal to Silverfang? As presented, she's very much a rookie with potential to become much greater.
Prodigy- 10? 11?
Setting- again, what settings make the most sense for your characters? Anywhere in the world is to your pick. There might be parallel worlds? Atlantis probably exists. Gorilla City? Subterannea? I was thinking of having the crew of the Solera start out in South America or Africa (yes, I know there is a variable number of continents depending on who you talk to..) protecting a small tribe from the future. Is the story for your character make more sense on a neighborhood? city? state? national? world wide? area? This is also tied into the PL thoughts above.
Hopefully this makes sense. Questions are our friends.
