When the terrible events of September 11th hit the United States the US military was at first upset that the heroes that populate the world who fight for justice were unable to fight off this terrible evil.
Problem was terrorist organizations while the privy to some heroes who make them their targets had warned of some form of attack was imminent. As the 911 commission discovered the inability for government agencies to communicate or even take action with Intel they received was hampered.
The creation of the Department of Homeland Security was seen by some as a way for the government to police the citizens of the US. First thing that the DHS did was follow suit that some large international companies had done and that was “employing” superheroes. The agency was backed by this move by the Pentagon to form The Sentinels. This group was placed under military command while being funded by the Department of Homeland Security.
Based in Chicago at a former group HQ called the Valliant’s now left vacant for several years due to the groups falling apart from political pressure, public opinion and infighting. This base was also built using alien technology that the former team’s leader had left. As the government found out, dismantling the technology from its source completely rendered the item useless.
The government who know controlled the property thought it best to utilize the technology to help their new superhero team, The Sentinels.
How I plan to get these guys altogether..
When we all get together to play here is the setup. (I dont care if my players read this, nothing they do will save them) Each player has at some point in thier recent lives has exhibited thier powers to the public. The government has them on file, but the bad guys are in bed with the good guys so to speak. There is a list of recruits for the Sentinels, and the big bads plans could be ruined if this team comes to form.
The big bad starts making hits on these heroes. The players are also targeted. So on day one. Each player is going to get a small encounter prior to them all meeting. They will win, of course, no point in killin off new characters especially if you worked hard in helping them make them. and they all get invited to the new Sentinel HQ.
I always found that starting off a group of players in any game is rough for the first session. If the meeting is less than stellar it could have adverse effects at how the players like the game.
