So character concept is below.  I am going to pick the best 5-6 concepts so this is not going to be first come first serve so take your time.   You can hit the "select" below and then control "c" to copy it into your post.   Please PM me your character concept first and when I give you the go ahead, you can post it publicly here.  This way the game thread is not cluttered with character concepts that were not approved.<br/><br/>Also I do want to state that I am a fairly flexible guy, so if I come to you and ask if you are willing to alter your concept a bit, it is because I am trying to build a group of people that have that "Avengers" feel to it.  It does not mean that everyone is going to be BFF's, I would like there some friction as I think that would aid in character development.  However I do not want a a character that could sabotage and break the team either, so if I am coming to you, it is because that not because I am trying to do a GM power trip, or wanting to tell you how to make and create your character.<br/><br/><strong>Setting Info</strong><br/>Year: 2102<br/>North American Union Capital: New Haven, CT<br/><br/>The Sentinel war started in the year 2027 and lasted to 2052.  During the course of the war, a state of martial law was declared.  Congress was disbanded and any opposition to the Sentinel's was quashed by the Sentinels themselves.  SHIELD was decimated and relegated to nothing more than a small insurgent group by 2030.  The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and other organized enhanced human groups were either killed or locked away in concentration camps by 2035.  The next five years the Sentinels made steps to solidify their control over North America and eradicate the enhanced being threat.  Their next step was not only to launch operations against Europe and South America, but to breech the dimensional barrier to assault Asgard and Olympus.  This was foiled by a enhanced being group named the Redeemers.<br/><br/>Working with what remained of SHIELD, and an underground resistance group of human military forces calling themselves the North America Liberation Army, the Redeemers and the mutant underground fought a long and protracted war against the Sentinels, forcing them to abandon expansion operations and to fight the threat that managed to rise up again in North America.  It lasted ten years, but finally ended when the last Sentinel production facility was destroyed in the Adirondack Mountains and their command center in the ruins of New York City were destroyed.  The operation cost the lives of the Redeemers and the Mutant Underground, and three quarters of the NLA, but the most disastrous and crippling saga in human history since the Holocaust of World War Two was over.<br/><br/>It is now fifty years later, and still the world is rebuilding.  From the ashes was formed the North America Union, a government that had been in place for the last forty years.  The last five years had seen the restoration of the United Nations, though it now resided in Geneva, Switzerland instead of the what was the United States.  Still it was a positive step towards global diplomatic efforts being restored and the specter of war being put into the past.  Much like the American Civil war did over two centuries before, the Sentinel War opened the eyes of the world to war and how the extinction was no longer a theoretical exercise, but that the world was perhaps a heartbeat away from it being a reality if not for the sacrifice of people that the world tried to commit genocide against.<br/><br/>Many thought however that enhanced beings causing civil unrest or worse was a thing of the past.  Humanity however can be a singular and selfish race with a short memory and only interested in its self interest.  Once more enhance being using their abilities as a threat against society was happening, and the law enforcement of the time was unable to handle it.  The world needed a response.<br/><br/>It needed heroes.<br/><br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0;
