Evos and IST
Posted by Gene
A game that will be PBEM as soon as I get a site set up.
All Rolls will be made using [www.pbegames.com] and rolls sent from that site to me for verification and wherever else you want. Character creation All Characters are Mutant: Induced (Tech Mishap)..Either Animal or Human To roll up your character do the following. Stats: Roll 8d100 and assign the ranks as you want Collumn 1 (FASERIP + Appearance). +1cs to 1 Stat as per Mutant Induced. Popularity is modified by the area you are in and Appearance(1/10 of rank), but base Popularity is 10. Different countries and areas will affect this both to the positive and negative. Appearance Benchmark Shift-0 Hideous Sauron and Daemonites Feeble-2 Repulsive Chamber and Deadpool Poor-4 Homely Toad and Reptile Typical-6 Plain to Average Iceman and Wolverine Good-10 Attractive Jubilee and Savant Excellent-20 Pretty/Handsome Captain Britain, Grifter and Moon Knight Remarkable-30 Statuesque Phoenix, Candra and Mr. Majestic Incredible-40 Bewitching Psylocke, Laura Croft and Emma Frost Amazing-50 Stunning Storm, Voodoo, Zealot and Bruce Wayne Monstrous-75 Radiant Roma and Megan in her true form Unearthly-100 Devine Demigods and Deities in true form Contacts/Talents/Powers: Roll 3d100 and assign the rolls to which collumn you want (Contacts/Talents/Powers). Resources: Roll on the chart modifier table in the PH. Base to be modified is Ty-06. Powers: Choose your Powers as desired, within the rules. Power Ranks: Roll randomly on Collum 1 a number of times equal to the number of powers you have. And then assign to the powers you want. Powers Determination: Other than the following Powers, Powers are drawn from both the UPB and PH and UA & UAA (Ultimate Addendum & Ultimates Addendum Addendum from Dragon Magazine). Powers Not allowed: Magical Power Categories(Any book). Probability Manipulation (PH), and Precognition (Any source). Bonus powers, like listed in the PH DO take a slot. You just have to put them in your next available slot. Origin/World/Appearance Notes: All powers are a result of mutation caused by Nano-Plague. Therefore all Powered beings and Power Manifestations have a Physical Manifestation that is based on the changes the Nano-Plague made in/on the characters. Characters are to be yet to be recruited members of the IST. They will be recruited and trained in game. Their team will be located in America (In a city yet to be determined) and Characters are allowed to be from any country (Though if not from an English speaking one, you must take Language Talent and it does take a slot.) Game Notes: All rolls are to be made using [www.pbegames.com] and a copy sent to me (as well as yourself) from the site. There will be 1 post per week required and if this is not made (without contact from the player to allow me/us to know in advance) I will deduct earned karma. And once you lose all Karma I will put you in the negatives and this will have negative effects on your rolls and abilities. The effects of negatives are also to be resulting from villianous acts as the PCs are supposed to be the "Good Guys" though not from Defeats and unententional property damage. Origin: In 1985, an amazing event occured that changed the world forever. A top secret government science lab had a breach that caused an experimental batch of Nanbots to be released into the atmosphere. This caused an event known as the Nano-Plague. Until that point the world was similar to the one outside your windows, but then it changed. While it affected less than .001%. with a Human population of 4.85 billion, this resulted in a population of 48,500 "Evos" not counting those of Animal Origin. These numbers have grown in the interviening years as more people and animals have changed, keeping basically a static # of both animal and Human populations as "Evos". While the vast majority are possessing of only minor abilities and mutations (Fe-02-Pr-04), there are several (Roughly 1% of those affected) that have powers and mutations that make them above the capabilities of normal men and machines to deal with (Ty-06 +). There are several Evo organizations both good and bad. The primary organization for "good" is controlled by the UN and is known as the IST (International Super Teams) Charged with enforcing the 1992 edicts banning strategic nuclear weapons and military super-squads, the ISTs are the U.N.'s premier peace-keeping forces -- well-funded and well-equipped elite troops composed of the best and brightest Evos.

This resulted in her being removed from the Navy as she was now a known Evo due to the 1992 edicts. Though she was at first worried about the her job prospects and the future, Dolphin was quickly approached by an IST recruiter and after the mandatory training joined the IST and became one of the few, the proud.. a member of IST Hawaii The IST Agenda As set by the Security Council, this agenda constitutes the seven basic standing orders, in order of priority, that all IST must operate under. 1) Enforce the ban on nuclear weapons 2) Enforce the ban on military super teams. 3) Combat international drug trafficking. 4) Protect civilians. 5) Discourage armed conflict between nations. 6) Support global human rights. 7) Provide a visible presence of the U.N. in member nations and maintain a positive public image. The IST Parental Power Structure No organization exists in a vacuum. The IST is administered through several layers of agencies, culminating at the top with the Security Council. Detailing the Security Council and its role in the United Nations is beyond the scope of this chapter; however, its relevant subordinate bodies, culminating with the individual ISTs, are of narrow enough purpose that they can be adequately described here. The Committee On Permanent Peacekeeping Forces The Security Council, like most other organs of the United Nations, has the right to establish its own subsidiary groups. Included in its roster of permanent subcommittees is the Committee on Permanent Peacekeeping Forces (COPPF). COPPF is descended from the Committee on the Afghan Problem (CAP) established by the Council in 1979. CAP was ostensibly organized to investigate the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, but its true purpose was to collect and train a covert team to help the Afghan rebels fight the Soviets. Later it began the process of contracting private teams for U.N. service. When the Security Council initiated the Edicts of 1987, CAP was reorganized as COPPF and charged with overseeing the ISTs. The Committee (as it is usually called by members of the IST Command) is composed of one representative from each member nation of the Security Council. As with the Security Council, its presidency rotates on a monthly basis by English alphabetical order of country name. Its function is to oversee the operations of the IST Command and the individual ISTs. If special IST maneuvers are asked for by a member nation, the Committee is the body which receives, processes, and implements the request. COPPF is also in charge of budgeting for all ISTs. To aid its administrative efforts, COPPF employs a large staff, which occupies two whole floors of the Secretariat building in the U.N. Headquarters, plus offices in the Hague and branches on each continent. This staff does the actual day-to-day support of the world-wide IST network, channeling goods and services, overseeing member deployment, and orchestrating the public relations aspect of the 1ST. A specialized division provides constant technical support for the U.N./IST computer and satellite network (UNET). The general opinion of COPPF throughout the IST organization is low. For the most part, they are considered foot-dragging bureaucrats by the elite ISTs and their field commanders. The exception is the technical staff, who are treated with respect and deference. Those team administrators who are not also Evos are hired and placed by COPPF; all administrators must submit weekly reports in classic military fashion. Team administrators have minimal voice in matters which are primarily military in nature, but for all other purposes are considered to be in command of their teams. For convenience, IST deployments are organized by continent. Each continental division is supervised by a Regional Director, who reports directly to COPPF and shares control over the individual teams with IST Command in times of peace. During an IST mobilization, whether because of natural disaster or potential war, IST Command has full control over the affected region. All reports and evaluations made by team administrators are processed by the appropriate Regional Director's office, which then passes it on to the Committee. Covert Operations Besides the very public ISTs, COPPF still maintains one function of its predecessor organization. Like CAP before it, COPPF recruits and maintains a small, secret team (mostly of Evos) intended solely for covert action. This function of COPPF is never discussed at public meetings of the Committee or the Security Council. Reports and evaluations are processed under several different, innocuous names; the team itself has no formal title. The primary purpose of the covert activities team, not to mention the U.N.'s more conventional intelligence forces, is to search out and identify potential and actual violations of the Edicts of 1987. This information is then relayed to the appropriate IST. The Committee for Law Enforcement A related, sister committee of COPPF is the Committee for Law Enforcement (CLE). Also administered under the aegis of the Security Council, CLE oversees international law-enforcement activity, and maintains close links with COPPF. Like COPPF, it too is a bureaucratic force administering to an active agency. This enforcement agency is the International Crime Task Force. The ICTF is largely derived from Interpol (of which it is an outgrowth). ICTF provides the functions of the latter organization in tandem with IST operations in situations where ordinary police measures would be inappropriate. They also serve as a data pool for the ISTs. IST headquarter computers are linked with ICTF databases, providing access to data not often stored in the paramilitary databanks. Varying ICTF clearances are assigned to individual teams, depending upon COPPF classification of their members and administrator. Outside of cooperation with the ISTs, the ICTF takes the role that Interpol used to play. (With both the advent of United Europe in 1992 and the founding of the CLE, Interpol has begun to shrink to a merely pan-European agency.) It provides, as for ISTs, an international clearinghouse of information on criminals, and fields a large number of agents who work on cases which enter international jurisdiction. Contrary to popular belief, ICTF has nothing to do with international law (which is generally limited to border and resource disputes between nations); it merely provides for an effective means of cooperation between different countries' law enforcement agencies. IST Command Poised between the COPPF and the individual IST is IST Command. Command (as it is called for short) is the level on which individual IST members are tracked and assigned. It is also the level at which organization becomes recognizably military in form. Calling Command a single body is somewhat misleading. Although there is an overall commander of all IST forces, equivalent to a five-star general, Command itself, mirroring the bureaucratic structure, is organized for convenience by continental divisions. Each division of Command, although answerable to the IST commander and her staff, and fully under their command in times of emergency, are at all other times jointly responsible to both the commander's staff and the appropriate Regional Director. For the most part, 1ST Command is not a terribly active level. Its main purpose is to provide a central organizational structure in times of emergency, which can then act and react faster than the bureaucratic structure of the COPPF. The commander has power comparable to the Committee's in determining what qualifies as an emergency or not; at her order every IST on the face of the planet can be almost instantly unified into a single army and redeployed as she sees fit. If an emergency-level situation is confirmed by the Security Council after the first 24 hours, then the commander gains full strategic command of all available U.N. forces and resources, in addition to the ISTs. This authority cannot be countermanded by the COPPF; only when the commander or the Security Council determines that the emergency has ended does her status revert to normal. In the short history of the ISTs and IST Command, such an event has not occurred. The commander of the IST forces is also the field leader of IST New York. This ensures that she is close to the United Nations Headquarters most of the time, immediately available for consultation and conference with both the Security Council and the COPPF. The IST commander has also been known to address the General Assembly and other primary organs of the U.N. during times of crisis. The current (and so far only) commander of the ISTs is Dimitra Poulis of Greece, Evo-named Argurous Astraph (in Greek, "Silver Lightning"), sometimes called the Silverbolt. Now a 20-year veteran of the metahuman military, she is one of the most powerful beings on the planet (see below). Induction and Service Occasionally, an IST may come across a freelance or civilian Evo whose powers would make an excellent addition to the team. In such a case the Field Commander (or any representative he may chose to appoint) may try to recruit the Evo (Or at times even a highly trained Normal). In fact, he is encouraged to do so. If the prospective member agrees, he is registered with COPPF, which schedules his time at an IST "boot camp" and provides his transportation there. Once the recruit emerges from his 12 weeks of basic training, the IST which recruited him has the right to request his assignment. If they decline his services, IST Command then assigns him to an embassy that would best profit from his abilities and training. In some nations, most notably those who select their IST members by draft, the IST is permitted to draft potential members. IST Basic Training COPPF and IST Command run several training camps around the globe for new and old IST members alike. They are often placed in locations that suffer from weather extremes or particularly unpleasant terrain, in order to further harden new members. To make matters worse (for new recruits, that is), IST Command has managed to obtain the services of the six most-hated drill sergeants in the United States Marines! For eight weeks recruits are pressed to their limits Рand beyond Рbefore being assigned to stations around the world. The primary IST training camps are located in Siberia, Arizona, and Sri Lanka. There are currently five secondary camps, with plans for two more. Status, Rank, and Salaries IST Team Administrators are usually of Rank 3-4, although very high levels of Status are unusual. They earn effectively Gd-10 resources per month. An IST Field Commander is usually Rank 6 and Resources Gd-15. Regional Subcommanders are Rank 7. The IST Commander, Argurous Astraph, is Rank 8 and Resources Ex-20. There are no formal names for the Ranks 6 and below; 7 and above are Generals. Rank is indicated by a system of dots embroidered on the member's costume immedimmediately below the squad insignia: one dot for Rank 4, two for Rank 5, and so on. IST members are paid in proportion to their Rank. If the member serves a dual function, such as Public Relations Officer or Legal Attache (q.v.), they receive bonus pay equal to one-half their base pay for each such job that they perform. Team members have all their living expenses covered as long as they choose to dwell in their embassy. A tuition reimbursement plan exists, and members are encouraged to continue their educations Security Clearances Within the various organizations subordinate to the Security Council, there is a six-level security clearance system. Level 6, the highest, is the clearance of Council members. Level 5 is granted to officials of CLE and COPPF who are not members of the Council, as well as selected members of IST Command and ICTF. Argurous Astraph is also Clearance 5 РMilitary Ranks 4 through 8 correspond to Clearance levels 1 through 5 in the IST. Clearance 0 is uncleared. Super Names and Secret Identities Besides performing their military and civic duties, the ISTs have become a new public face for world unity. With the role of ISTs as public relations organs, ensuring that their members are easily known and identifiable is a must. To this end, the U.N. encourages the use of descriptive "super names" and popular nicknames. While most of today's world citizens would be hard put to name their country's ambassador to the U.N., almost all will recognize the heroes of the local IST embassy. Emphasizing public recognition with short, exciting and catchy names helps to ensure the spread of the U.N. philosophy through the ISTs. The U.N. does not accept (as the U.S. and other countries do) the privilege of a secret identity. Since all potential IST members must be security-cleared before being formally accepted, the Security Council insists that full names and other I.D. information be revealed. If the applicant (or draftee) desires, identity data will be stored in sealed records. Otherwise, the information is entered into the Security Council archives and the Secretariat's civil service files. Costumes The U.N.'s policy regarding costumes is as liberal as that regarding super names. If the Evo has or wishes to design a costume, he is encouraged to do so. The only restrictions are that it must be tastefully done and conform to the host country's standards of propriety. Costumes are also required to bear all appropriate insignia if it is possible to add them without destroying any special properties of the costume. The standard insignia for IST member costumes is as follows. The left arm at the shoulder should have the U.N. symbol and beneath it, the letters "IST." The upper right arm, near the shoulder, carries the rank dots and squad letter, if any. To facilitate the creation, repair and replacement of costumes, IST Command maintains a corps of skilled designers, tailors and seamstresses. If an Evo wishes, a costume can be created for him by this division, which also keeps complete patterns for all reproducible costumes in the IST. Any material can be used for a design, from Spandex to Kevlar to envirosuit material. IST membership automatically includes three costumes plus one replacement costume every six months. Additional replacements are paid for out of the member's salary. The U.N. also provides special-purpose uniforms for different assignments. Typically available are all-black nightsuits, arctic gear and cammo patterns (standard, desert, plains, etc.). IST Courts-Martial Since the IST is a military body, members who violate its regulations or the laws of their host country are subject to court-martial. The accused is brought before three IST officers of rank equal to or exceeding his. One of these officers is his field commander (or the regional commander, if the accused is a field commander); the other two are from other embassies. The accused has the right to legal counsel Рoften the legal attache of his embassy. A prosecutor is assigned by IST Command. Procedure is fairly standard: evidence and witnesses, with cross-examination, are presented to the tribunal, who vote on the guilt of the accused and sentence the guilty. If desired or needed, telepathic examination using the "Three-Telepath System" is employed. Penalties vary by the severity of the crime, but never exceed life imprisonment. In some cases, the penalty may be to turn the guilty party over to the civil authorities. IST courts-martial have been rare. Two IST supers have been tried for manslaughter (one was found guilty, the other innocent), and one for espionage against the U.N. (guilty; the spy was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment). Crimes and violations less significant than gross negligence are handled on a case- by-case basis by the Administrator, Field Leader and the Legal Attache. The Individual IST We now come to the level of the individual IST embassy. Embassy superteams number from 8 to 20 persons, not counting support staff. In order to maintain an international profile, no more than two natives of the host country are assigned to any team. Teams over 10 in number are usually divided into squads of three to five persons each. For quick identification, squads are referred to by Greek letters; a member's costume will have his squad letter on its upper right arm near the shoulder. Squads are usually drilled in specialized functions. For instance, Alpha Squad of IST New York is trained in anti-terrorist tactics appropriate for use on the grounds of the United Nations Headquarters. Squads also tend to develop their own custom combat maneuvers, with exotic names like the "fastball special" or the "jack in the box." Where team composition allows, the field commander may cluster similar powers together to create a specialized squad: invisible and/or insubstantial infiltrators and "stonewalls" are common. Squad composition and training is up to the team leader. Command Structure of the Team Within the team, there are a number of important posts mandated by the COPPF. Although several hats can be worn by one person, all these positions must be filled. Team Administrator The Team Administrator is, in most senses, the true commander of the team. He is their chief connection to the Committee, and the conduit through which most organizational decisions are transmitted. His role is also that of the diplomat, as he is the formal connection between an IST and the nation in which it is stationed. In this role of ambassador, the Administrator must be a firm and dedicated representative of the United Nations, able to navigate the rocky waters of international diplomacy. It is not an enviable job in many nations. Often it is the Administrator who takes the heat for excesses committed by overzealous team members. It is perfectly within his rights to transfer that heat to his charges. His other prime function, then, is disciplinary; he has the power Рand the duty Рto enforce standards of behavior and performance from members of the Team. If necessary, the Administrator can initiate court-martial proceedings. More often than not, Team Administrators are Normals, simply because few highly skilled diplomats and administrators are Evos. Several teams do, however, have Field Commanders with sufficient international experience to qualify as Administrators, and who perform both jobs. A Team Administrator must possess the skills of Administration and Diplomacy. Fast Talk and Politics may also come in handy! Field Commander The Field Commander, often called the "team leader," is the military authority in the IST. During emergency or combat situations, the team leader is in sole, complete command of his team; at all other times he shares the responsibility of command with the Team Administrator. The Field Commander's duties are focused on the fitness and preparedness of his team, as well as their deployment. He is in charge of training and organization; his position combines elements of platoon sergeant, Civil Defense Warden, police officer, teacher, and strategist. In all matters regarding the military employment of the team and its members, he has final say over the Team Administrator, although IST Command may over ride him. In times of disaster or other civil need, the team leader is obligated to activate his team and place himself at the disposal of the civil authorities. However, he is not required to be subservient and cater to their every whim; he may refuse any request which he feels is unsafe, unreasonable, or may violate U.N. policy or regulations. If a situation develops which the team leader determines to have the potential to be internationally destabilizing, he may at his initiative activate his team to deal with it. IST Command and the Team Administrator must both review his action within 24 hours; they both have the option of either terminating the mission or approving it. The latter extends the activation indefinitely, subject to termination by the Field Commander, the Administrator, or IST Command. The team leader has the option of appointing a second-in-command. This option is usually taken on larger teams; in action, squads are divided between the Field Commander and his lieutenant. If necessary, the second-in-command is breveted to the same Security Clearance as the leader, and given full access to all materials relevant to commanding the IST. Should the team leader fall in combat without a second in command, leadership automatically devolves upon the most senior member in the team, subject to later approval by the Administrator. The Field Commander is often as much of a diplomat as the Administrator. Sometimes even more so, as the team leader often has more direct contact with the people of the host country. So besides fine-honed military skills, a team leader must also possess the ability to interact well with people, and present himself and his team in the best light. By the very nature of the position, the Field Commander must be either a Evo or (rarely) a super-normal. Most have extensive experience that puts them far above their teammates; many are among the most powerful individuals in the world. Currently, most team leaders are veterans of the old national superteams, with military training and attitudes. The remainder have been promoted from within existing ISTs over the last few years, to command new embassies as they are emplaced. Characters designed to be Field Commanders must have a Rank of 6 or 7, and must possess Leadership and Diplomacy skills in addition to Basic Training skills package. Other social skills are also useful. Dual Field Commander/Team Administrators must also possess the necessary requirements for an Administrator. Public Relations Officer The U.N., despite its financial independence and its IST forces, runs primarily on the goodwill of the people of the world (not to mention their governments). The Edicts of 1987, although almost universally accepted by member nations, still rattled many governments. The formation and emplacement of the ISTs, although agreed to by the nations, was another strain. Since 1987, the U.N. has been treading carefully, lest it truly offend someone; its power depends upon the voluntary participation of its members. To help in this cause, each IST is required to have a Public Relations Officer. The PRO's purpose is to coordinate and promote a positive image for his IST and for the U.N. and its policies in general. Active manipulation of people and events is not allowed, although the PRO may organize public appearances, goodwill trips and the like. The PRO will usually be one of the members of the team. COPPF and IST Command discourage assigning this position to anyone resembling the stereo-typical "mover and shaker" P.R. man common to Hollywood. Instead, their guidelines suggest the use of a team member who has a way with people, training him or her if necessary. Personality and Diplomacy are necessary skills here. Legal Attache As both an advisor on international and local law, and as competent counsel in the worst of cases, a legal attache is required for each IST. Unless a qualified lawyer is present as a team member, this position is almost always filled by an outsider. It is properly relegated to the support staff of the embassy; unlike the PRO or the Field Commander, the Legal Attache is rarely seen by the outside world. Many people do not even know that they exist! The Attache must be a competent lawyer to qualify for the position, with bar certification and a skill of Gd-10 + in Law. He must possess, or be willing to train for, a specialization in international law and in the law of the host nation(s) to which he will be assigned, if he is not a native. Security Officer This may be either a member of high Military Rank, or a military person assigned by IST Command. Subordinate only to the Field Commander and the Team Administrator, the Security Officer is in charge of distributing and revoking team-level clearances, and determining the relative sensitivity of different sections of the embassy. He is also in command of a small team of security specialists who maintain the IST's security systems and who aid the powered infantry in protecting the embassy grounds. COPPF and IST Command provide surprisingly slim guidelines for security within an embassy. Access to the fusion plant, computer center, and other strategic facilities is limited to Clearance 2 or better by mandate, but other than that, individual ISTs are free to organize their security zones as they see fit. It is the Security Officer's duty, in conjunction with the Administrator and the Field Commander, to determine the security arrangements of his embassy, and to program them into the system. Support Staff Over and above the superteam and its governing power structure, any IST embassy will have an additional support staff of 100 persons or more. Many of these are domestic workers who provide a well-kept level of comfort for the IST members. Others are medics or trainers. The remainder are the necessary administrative staff any international embassy must possess. Like the staff of any well-run embassy, though, they are investigated; U.N. security thoroughly checks and clears them before they are hired.

Powered Infantry Besides its Evos, each embassy houses a squad of powered armor-equipped infantrymen. The exact number of infantrymen varies from nation to nation. Housed within the embassy compound, they are the security guards for the embassy, and rotate on the same basic duty schedule as the supers (three weeks on, one week off). As with the team proper, the IST infantry can be activated by the Field Commander for active duty outside the embassy. In the past, this has been as a peace-keeping force, riot police, anti-looting patrols following an earthquake, and interdiction forces used to capture a ring of drug smugglers. The same restrictions, vis-a-vis confirmation of activation within 24 hours, apply to the powered infantry and the Evo forces. The Typical Embassy The establishment of an IST embassy is a complex process. No small amount of this is due to the difficult task of building or re-building the actual embassy complex. In order to have as low a profile as possible, embassies are designed to blend into their surroundings Рdespite the fact that they are effectively small fortresses! Defensive Capabilities Although the primary intent of an IST is both diplomatic and peaceful, prudent policy dictates that an embassy should be able to withstand the worst possible situations. To this end, these bases are equipped to defend themselves under attack from man or nature. The main alterations are passive in nature. Where possible, the building's foundations (including all sub-basements) are set or re-set on isolation bearings (state-of-the-art earthquake "shock absorbers"). Then the actual structure of the building is begun. Existing buildings are completely gutted and re-fit from the ground up. No matter what its origin, an IST embassy's walls are engineered (or re-engineered) to provide maximum protection. A minimum of 3 feet of steel-reinforced concrete is applied behind an external, decorative sheathing. This provides a barrier with Am-50 material, not counting any ablative or other effect provided by the external sheath. Roofs and floors are constructed with the same composition and strength. Internal Security Inside, the embassy is wired with a sophisticated electronic security system. Controlled through the main computer, the security system controls access to restricted zones in the embassy through palmprint and/or retinal scanning, although it is also capable of voice recognition. There are a number of more conventional intruder detection devices installed in each embassy. All are linked directly to the main computer and coordinated through the Internal Security program. If intruders are detected on the embassy grounds, the security program activates automated weapon turrets throughout the building (and its outdoor areas, if any). These turrets are primarily armed with stun rifles (Rm-30 Stunning); those in particularly sensitive areas may sport blast rifles. The turrets are generally programmed to fire at any target detected after an alarm is activated; skill level is Ex-20. Turrets have Rm-30 material, and are -1cs to hit because of their small size. Being connected directly to building power, they have an unlimited number of shots. In general, security measures tend to be hidden or camouflaged (requiring a Rm-30 feat roll to spot), particularly in the so-called "public" areas and zones of heavy traffic. Most members of IST support staffs never even know they're there! Prompted by its common appearance among Evos, U.N. researchers are attempting to develop a practical, large-scale force field technology. If they are successful, force field generators running directly off the embassy fusion plants will provide yet another layer of defense for ISTs Offensive Capabilities Although IST embassies are intended primarily as defensive installations, most do have some capability for offensive action. The exact level of this armament varies from embassy to embassy. Many are simply equipped with externally- mounted versions of the security weapon turrets; the majority of these contain non-lethal antipersonnel weaponry such as stun rifles, although blasters of pistol strength are also used. These turrets, like their internal counterparts, are camouflaged and computer controlled. Their activation is not automatic -- the Field Commander must explicitly order their use. In more unstable regions, such as El Salvador and the Sinai, computer linked weaponry is abandoned for human-operated machine guns and the like. With the uncertain conditions in such areas, weapons such as the EX34 Chain Gun are the weapon of choice Рhighly dependable, able to withstand a large number of climactic conditions and deadly when needed. These are permanently mounted on the building but are hidden unless in use. Of course, the IST powered infantry and the superteam itself can be considered offensive weaponry, as well. Please note that although this equipment is spoken of as "offensive," this is merely to distinguish it from the passive or more internalized systems which defend an IST against possible attack. It is a violation of both the spirit and the letter of U.N. regulations for any military force not organized as a punitive or retributive move to take offensive action against any target. Only if the embassy were under direct attack could deadly force be used. Detention Facilities Since many IST missions result in the capture of one or more Evos or so called Super Normals and since many nations do not have the facilities to hold Evo enhanced criminals and terrorists, IST installations include cells capable of holding most Evos. These they share with their host countries when possible, although they are not used for permanent incarceration. Since the state of the art in construction methods can not yet withstand the full force of many Evos' powers, an alternate means of restraint had to be developed. Studies and experiments on biological response to electromagnetism in the late 1980s indicated that properly tuned electromagnetic fields could induce sleep in humans. In 1993, the Deepsleep Box was invented. Initially developed as a medical aid, it lulls the user into deep sleep with an electromagnetic field ("electronarcosis") and soothing sound. The IST holding cells take advantage of the fact that under electronarcosis, the subject will remain asleep as long as power is supplied to the Box. Each cell will hold one prisoner, who is kept pacified by electrodes which lead to an externally controlled Deepsleep Box. For stays longer than a day, prisoners are fed by I.V. (or stomach tube, for those whose skin is too hard for a needle to pierce). Elimination is handled by the low-tech expedient of a diaper. Unless the prisoner's physical person is dangerous, medical staff from the embassy infirmary see to his well-being. Prisoners are flexed and moved to maintain muscle tone and to prevent bedsores, as well as being cleaned daily. An IST will normally have no less than six holding cells. Training Facilities During his duty weeks, an IST member only spends one 8 hour shift each day actually standing duty. The time left after sleep and meals is officially "free" time, but members are required to spend at least ten hours every week in combat practice and training. To this end, each embassy is equipped with a full gymnasium with a weight room. In their initial boot camp training, IST members are given the rudiments of the unarmed martial art of their choice, if they do not already possess one. Once assigned to a team, they must exercise this beginning skill, practicing it under the tutelage of either the embassy trainers or another expert, perhaps a skilled team member. Considerable time is spent in the gym and in other facilities. One of these other facilities is a shielded room known as the "Combat Simulation Chamber." Although it can double as a firing range, the main purpose of the CSC is to provide a place for no-holds-barred sparring and combat training. The only requirement is that all punches over human normal strength are pulled, and all energy attacks are toned down to their absolute minimum. Much as martial arts classes hold roundabout sparring, team members are required to cycle through the ranks of their teammates, each testing himself against the others. The team leader or the training coach oversee all matches, and may impose complications upon any combat. Most common is the "unpowered" combat, used to teach the importance of tactics over raw power. If the team is divided into squads, they are drilled together as much as possible; even small teams are often divided into two or three sides as an exercise in teamwork. When used as a firing range, the computer controlling the CSC provides randomly appearing pop-up targets, and automatically scores each run. A character may use either weapons or powers in a range run. As with all other training exercises, scores and evaluations are passed on to the Field Commander for consideration. Sample IST Embassies New York In more ways than one, IST New York is the headquarters of the IST system. Although IST Command and its bureaucracy is across First Avenue and south three blocks, in the U.N. Secretariat building, the supreme commander of the ISTs and her hand picked team make their home here: 832 First Avenue, between East 46th and East 47th Streets, adjacent to Dag Hammarskj̦ld Plaza and Shcharansky Freedom Plaza. Vital communications are duplexed between IST New York and IST Command, and most command-level decisions originate in the embassy. Physical Plant The New York IST building, in keeping with the relatively low skyline of Manhattan in its vicinity, extends only six stories above the ground, not counting its satellite dish. Over its standard steel-reinforced concrete construction is a three-inch sheathing of reddish-pink marble (which provides, incidentally, an outer layer of Rm-30 Material all over the building). Its overall appearance is Post-Modern; windows are in narrow strips staggered from floor to floor, and tinted to match the color of the marble. The windows are made of tempered Plexiglas, six inches thick (Rm-30 Material). They are one foot wide and extend from floor to ceiling (eight feet) inside. At the front of the building, four huge columns, five feet square, flank the entrance and soar up two stories to meet the bottom of the third floor. The entrance itself has an odd Post-Modern interpretation of an Art Deco feel; two revolving doors, surrounded by geometrical designs cast in their heavy bronze frames, with a normal glass door to either side of them. The building is set back 72 feet from the street; an open plaza stands before it (see Unique Features, below). Behind it, a fifteen-foot-wide alley separates it from the building west of it on 46th Street. The alley slopes down and curves under the edge of the embassy to enter the receiving dock. The armory on the third floor has a concealed door which opens on the alley and allows powered infantrymen immediate egress. There are nine levels to the building, plus the roof. Their contents are: Sub-basement Two: Fusion reactor, electrical generator, water tanks. Sub-basement One: Holding cells (8), combat simulation chamber, longterm storage, vault, morgue. Basement: Receiving dock and associated offices, supplies and storerooms, including ammo locker. Ground floor: Museum of Evos and library, newsstand. Second floor: Mechanicals: air conditioning, heat, related environmental systems including air filtering, cellular radio subsystems. Third floor: Powered infantry barracks, armory, armor shop, parts storage, lockers, mess, off-duty area, firing range. Fourth floor: Team Administrator's office, other administrative offices, auditorium for press conferences, PC network room. Fifth floor: Personal quarters for IST members, labs, library, kitchen, dining room. Sixth floor: Gymnasium/CSC, showers, medic, conference room, labs, technical library, mainframe room, command center. Roof: Elevator mechanisms, primary satellite dishes, helipad. Two banks of two elevators each provide passenger transport to all floors, but require security scan-lock identification when limited-access areas are selected. A freight elevator also connects all floors except the first. Fire stairs also span the entire building. Doors to the stairs are locked from the inside on all floors except the first, where the door is locked from the outside: the stairs can be entered on any floor, but exited only on ground level. The main computer also has full control over the door locks, and will open them completely in the eventof a full evacuation. In the event of fire, the building has a complete halon/foam fire suppression system, with selective area control. Although a kitchen and dining room, fully staffed, are available for the members of the IST, they have full privileges in the delegates' dining room in the U.N. headquarters building across the street. Many frequent a small Szechuan Chinese restaurant around the corner on Second Avenue; it has become a traditional off-duty meeting place since 1991. Unique Features The embassy of IST New York is noteworthy in several ways. First, it is coheadquarters (along with IST Command in the Secretariat building) of all IST forces in the world. As such, it is the primary residence and workplace of Argurous Astraph, commander of the IST. Argurous Astraph is a major celebrity, even in star-sated Manhattan; her presence can and would cause crowds and traffic jams, if she did not take care to limit her casual appearances in public. Secondly, it is the site of the U.N.'s Museum of Evos. This facility occupies the entire first floor of the IST building. It is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 to 5; an admission fee of $4.00 is charged, although access to the Museum's library is free. The fee is waived for IST members and officials. The Museum traces what is publicly known about the genesis of Evos in the modern age, as well as those historical figures who are suspected of theoretically being Evos. Innumerable mementos and memorabilia of many Heros of the past three decades are owned by the Museum Рmuch more than they can display at any one time. The contents of the Museum therefore cycles, and often follow themes that Рnot coincidentally Рunderline U.N. policies and philosophies. One consistent portion of the Museum's exhibits is the thought provoking, and sometimes disturbing, section on persecution of Evos, their use as military forces in the past and present, and such atrocities as the adolescent "volunteer" supersquads of the Iran-Iraq war. Researchers can make use of the Museum's extensive library. Included in its stacks are paper, electronic or microform copies of virtually everything ever printed or broadcast which concerns Evos and Super Normals. Some material is classified, and some is stored in locked shelves, but access is quickly given to most scholars with a legitimate need. The third feature worthy of notice at IST New York is the IST Memorial Plaza, through which anyone visiting the embassy must pass. Approximately 53 feet by 102 feet in size, the plaza is raised above the sidewalk level; two broad steps made of black marble lead the visitor up to it. The plaza itself is paved in white marble hexagons three feet across, and directly in its center is a flagpole flying the U.N. flag and mounted on a six-inch-high white marble disk. Engraved around the edge of the disk and filled with gold is the legend, "In Memory of Those Metahumans Who Gave Their Lives For World Peace," in both English and French. To either side of the flagpole, two 42-foot-square sections of the plaza have bronze plugs fitted into the center of every other hexagon. Sixteen of the hexagons in this pattern have ten-foot bronze columns mounted on them. Each column is a memorial to a single IST member who has died in the line of duty. Like many plazas in New York City, this one is normally filled with people eating, sitting or playing, especially on warm, pleasant days. However, very frequently these crowds will grow silent, as a Evo or two with IST insignia walk across the plaza to stand quietly in the shade of a column, and pay their respects to a fallen comrade. Special Duties Because of their immediacy to the United Nations headquarters complex, IST New York is charged with several special duties. The most important is to act as guards in special situations, such as visits by heads of state or other dignitaries. The IST members are also assigned to guard closed-door sessions of the Security Council. The most unusual of their duties, more or less unique among the rest of the ISTs around the world, is to be famous. In the spirit of good public relations, members of IST New York are encouraged to use their off time to visit the theater, the Metropolitan Opera, exclusive night clubs, everywhere other celebrities go Рand to do it in costume. Despite the U.S. government's support of the U.N., many Americans are still suspicious of the IST. A grassroots groundswell prevented Jimmy Carter's handpicked successor, Walter Mondale, from gaining the Presidency in 1989, because Carter capitulated to the Edicts of 1987; much of that same resentment still haunts the American culture. By making their superpolice into supercelebrities, the COPPF hopes to drain off that potential for trouble by turning it into hero-worship. Only Argurous Astraph, because of her position of responsibility, is exempt from this duty, but that doesn't help her much. P. R. and Local Authorities IST New York gets very good press. Gossip columns and supermarket tabloids cover them with astounding regularity, and even the staid New Yorker magazine has a tongue in cheek "Evo-Doings" column. Until her recent transfer, the Scottish Evo Pouka was a regular guest on Late Night With David Letterman, thanks to her impish sense of humor and her "Stupid Supers Tricks" feature. IST New York's excellent public image doesn't help with the local police, though. Despite the fact that former Mayor Edward Koch welcomed the embassy in 1989, the NYPD views their help as an unwanted intrusion. 1ST aid is not turned down, but members invariably receive a cold shoulder from New York's finest. The general opinion among NYC cops is that most Evos are prima donnas whose appearance steals the credit from the officers who do the real work. Complement Because of the proximity of the U.N Headquarters, and because of the number of special duties imposed upon the embassy, Argurous Astraph has stationed a full 20 supers at the installation. Fifty infantrymen are assigned to the embassy, half of whom are on battlesuit duty. The remainder are assigned more conventional weaponry and armor. (The U.N. headquarters complex has its own squadron of powered infantry, independent of those assigned to 1ST New York.)

Fights very dirty when necessary. Always interested in recruiting new talent, from any source. Visits her family every time she has leave. Hates her American nickname, "the Silverbolt." History Blurb: Dimitra Poulis was born to a poor Greek farming family. In her late twenties, she awoke from a nightmare to find her body turned into shining, silvery metal. She screamed and fainted. When she awoke she found her family around her and her body still not back to normal. They had seen it too . The next day, the town doctor proclaimed her a Evo. though that was fairly obvious to anyone who saw her could see that. He notified government agents, who immediately recruited her into the Greek army. There she discovered her flight and lightning powers under the tutelage of instructors slowly becoming specialists in this. Staying with the military, she took the Evo name "Argurous Astraph" ("Silver Lightning" in Greek) and soon grew in both power and prestige. She was personally responsible for the defeat of Col. George Papadopoulos' second attempted coup in 1986, and was awarded a medal of honor from Greece's King Constantine for her service. By the time she was 30, she was one of the highest-ranking Evos in the Greek army. At 31, she commanded the entire metahuman division of that army. In 1987, when Greece joined the European Common Market, Dimitra and the Evos she commanded were merged with the EEC superteam. Within a year, she was leading that team. With the Edicts of 1987 and the disbanding of the EEC superteam, she resigned her commission in the Greek army and offered her services to the U.N. Three days later she was installed, amid great publicity, as the commander in chief of all IST forces. She promptly moved into her office in the temporary New York IST embassy and has remained on the job ever since. Dimitra is almost a split personality. With friends (and she tries to be a friend first, and a commander second, to everyone serving under her), she is open and available, a sympathetic ear. But, when she has to be, she becomes as hard as her silvery metallic body. With over 20 years of experience, she is an efficient and successful military leader. She considers each of her teammates an irreplaceable resource; she will reduce any plan to the minimum risk that will accomplish the mission. She ruthlessly disregards orders, ignores dollar costs, and opposition casualties! Her teammates have always given her their complete loyalty. Typical Dialogue: "Nobody ever said we had to fight fair."

History Blurb: Ok, yeah I know it is kindof stupid, but here goes. My name is Ronald Eugene Kendrick Jr, known to most as Gene. And this is part of my court appointed anger management therapy. I have no idea how that jackass of a liberal jerkoff determined that I had anger management issues, or how it tied into the the fact that I used my abilities to turn someone, who wanted it, from female to functional male without a medical liscense, but I guess I might as well keep this blog-diary going. Well at least until I get a better lawyer to make another appeal. As you know if you are reading this, I am an Evo. And, while I do have limits on what I can do, I am not a God after all, I do have alot of abilities that are not commonly found amongst the standard "super-set". There are several Evos that heal themselves, but healing others, much less the advanced manip- -ulation that I am capable of, is a fairly rare ability, especially to the extent I can. Those combined with my, mostly self augmented, hyper enhanced physical abilities as well as the knowledge, almost all of which was gained initially from my Nanites, of almost everything there is to know about organic life, makes for a interesting and useful combination especially when I am using it for my business of body mods. Anyway, I guess I have to start somewhere, so might as well start back in 88 when my abilities first expressed. Not to be too arrogant, but I was really one of the lucky ones. Not only did I gain a suite of abilities, along with most of the knowledge that that was needed to put them to use, but comparitively my "Evo trait" was fairly mild and while it made some people uncomfortable, I have seen lots of people much worse off. I was only 17 when my abilities became active, 26 years ago. I quickly realized that keeping quiet about them was the best idea, as most people tended to freak out about those of us who can do more than than "normies". Fortunately, both in recent years, and in the usual societal circles I ran in, someone with the abilities I had was/is fairly popular as long as I dont show off too much what I am really capable of. But, being an apprentice tattoo artist and body mod specialist at the time, the ability to warp and heal flesh and bone to my will made me very popular in select groups. It only took me about 3 years to finish up my apprenticeship, and having learned just about everythng it was possible for me to, I got a loan and opened my first shop. It was a small hole in the wall in Shreveport, about a mile off of downtown. I still have fond memories of the place, and of the people, both regulars and one timers, that came in both for my regular work as well as the "special" services I provided that only someone with my special abilities could. Fortunately, most of the community I did work for is used to keeping their mouths shut except amongst themselfs, and I fairly quickly built up a loyal clientel, including some rich kids who wanted changes for their "flavor of the week" look and some older clients that were scared of facing their own impending age and mortality. I was a good thing as due to them I built up enough of a name and income that I could become very selective in what clients I would, and would not, take. It only took me 10 years and I was one of the better names known in the underground niche market. And fortunately people have become surprisingly more accepting of Evos, something which came as a bit of a happy surprise to me. There are still plenty of people that have issues with both those who live alternative lives, either by choice, by birth, or by enhancement, but alot more people no longer have to worry about the bigotry we once faced, though my current situation shows it isnt completely a open and accepting world. I am about to have to join the damn IST due to my feeling sorry for a young woman three years ago, one of the weaknesses I have always had. She came to me after learning about my abilities from several friends and underground sources. Oddly enough she never did tell me exactly who, which I guess I can respect. What she wanted was something that was mostly possible, if her family hadn't been so damn powerful both financially and politically. I however didnt need the AMA's permission to use my abilites, or presumed I didn't anyway. Unfortunately, according to the law, I was wrong. In changing her from a, rather attractive, young woman to a, fully functional, young man I according to her family and the AMA civil and legal suites was practicing Medicine without a License with Criminal Intent, and due to, I am presuming, her family driving her to testify to it, was taking advantage of someone with mental impairment. Who would have thought in this day and age such bullshit would be a thing. Well I was set up pretty good, and I have to admit, if Paul Diamond and his IST lawyer flunkies hadnt swept in I would be doing much worse. Fortunately I kept my shops and employees, and my wealth I worked to get, I just had to agree to sign the damn contract to join up with the IST for their initial period of at least 4 years. No matter the physical condition I am in thanks to my abilities, I am too damn old to be doing this shit. But at least it will only be 4 years, which is less than a quarter of the jail sentence the prosecution was talking about, and I should be able to turn this somewhat to my advantage as most ISTers tend to gain a bit of fame with the mainstream media and that might help me increase my business too.

As such, she was born premature, and had several ailments (physically and mentally) due to the addictions of her mother and violence of her father (who had wanted a son.). As a result, the girl was often left ignored and unloved within her family, and was no surprise, that she found herself struggling through school and life. Her mother died when she was 6 (due to violence which was paved by drug addiction) and she saw a myriad of girls/women come through her father's house. She was sent to her 'uncles' house (sold) and her life even became a greater hell (even as she disappeared from school in sixth grade). It cumulated in what was going to be a porn/snuff film, where she was going to be the victim. The scene cumulated with her to be killed by a baseball bat. As the scene was starting, the police hit the tip they needed for the raid, and they came as the finale was occurring. However, as the man (her 'uncle') beat her, the Nanites activated. There was growing frustration, even as it was filmed, the police conducted their raid. One of the officers saw as the 'uncle' pulled and fired a gun straight at Gabriela. Instead of death, her powers fully activated, even as the 'uncle' was shot by said officer. Things were a whirlwind afterwards as the case was brought to trial, but though they tried to keep her identity a secret, it did not work. It was also at this time that Gabriel was taken in by the police officer, and began finally started to receive help after all those years of abuse and being ignored. With her renewed strength of mind and body, she began to read and live life. For the next four years, she spent time readjusting, learning under the police officer what a normal life was. And in seeing what the officer did, the sacrifices and the good that occurred, it motivated her to make a difficult decision. So when she was old enough, and felt ready, Gabriela left for New York City, where the young woman walked into the UN offices and signed up a four year commitment with IST. (Think of something similar to what happened to the girls/women in Cleveland, but taped/worse. However, she now has stable influences. Her story was brought out by a very nosy investigative reporter, so her identity is not a secret. What IS a secret is that her mother had run away from her family which are high in the drug cartel. And her maternal grandfather was quite pissed at what he learned (and saw on the various films, including what was supposed to be her final film.). Hence, her father, uncle, and several others disappeared (and were very messily/painfully) dealt with. He (the grandfather) however is in a quandary as he is happy that she is 'doing well' and is rather protective of her (trying to fix what happened with his daughter) even going to some extremes (such as what happened with her father and 'uncle') but is torn whether to bring her into the business (and family) or let her live in safe ignorance.)

CONTACTS (1/4) 1-Military (Commanding Officer of 75th Ranger Regiment) POWERS (8/10) 1-Electrical Generation IN-40 -Range: 11 Areas -E.Point: Any -Nanites have caused body to become a natural generator of massive amounts of electricity. -Can generate either Lightning which is sheer, raw, destructive power and by far the most popular form of this Power. Alternating current which is what our technology is driven by. This Power can either energize or overload normal electrical devices. And Direct current which is what a battery produces. It can energize or overload devices that use DC power. It can also short out devices that use AC power. -Extreme heat reduces this Power's rank by the Intensity rank of the heat. Conversely, extreme cold increases the rank by the cold's Intensity rank. -This Power automatically includes Power rank Resistance to Electricity; no FEAT is required to resist your own Power. (Due to also possessing Electrical Control at IN-40, total Resistance to Electricity is Am-50) 2-Electrical Control IN-40 -Range: 2 Miles -In addition to generation, body and brain have been enhanced to also control various forms of electricity. -Can control all forms of electricity, whether natural, artificial, or Power-based. He can control the Intensity and direction of electron streams and alter the conductivity of materials. He can shape electron streams into any desired form. -The hero can increase or decrease the electricity's Intensity and reduce damage by his Power rank number. If the electricity is Power-related, then the target's Power rank determines the Intensity of the FEAT the hero must make to gain control. -The hero has Power rank Resistance to Electrical Generation. -Because electricity forms the basis for most of our technology, the hero can use his Power to remotely control any electrical device on a Good Intensity FEAT. More complex devices like computers require a more complex form of control and a Remarkable Intensity FEAT. 3-Neural Manipulation EX-20 -Range: 6 areas Duration  Rank/Rounds) 20-Using electrical control can effect the electrical impules both in the brain and nervous system. -Can create the following effects Disruption: The target's body loses all sensations; it falls to the ground, a limp, numb mass of flesh. Paralysis: The target body becomes completely rigid. No chemical can counteract the paralysis while the Power is in effect. Seizure: The target's muscles spasm uncontrollably for as long as the Power is in effect. Or Exaggeration: Nerve signals are actually amplified, causing the target to overact when attempting any movement. -This Power only affects the voluntary muscles; it does not affect the autonomic nervous system which controls the heart, lungs, and other automatic bodily functions. The range and duration of this Power are determined by its rank. The Power normally affects only a single person; affecting more causes a decrease in duration of -1CS per additional person. The target's mind and senses are unaffected by the Power; the victim knows full well what is happening (even if he doesn't know why it's happening to him). 4-Hyper Intelligence - Reason GD-10 -Due to enhanced electrical energy in his brain, intellect (Reason) is permenantly enhanced by this powers rank. 5-Hyper Intelligence - Intuition GD-10 -Due to enhanced electrical energy in his brain, intellect (Intuition) is permenantly enhanced by this powers rank. 6-Mental Invisibility (Static not Invisibility) GD-10 -Due to enhanced electrical energy in his brain and body, Psionic powers are reduced by this powers rank (Gd-10) to affect him before they are needed to be resisted. While this does provide protection from psionics, it doesnt make him invisible to them, instead acting as if he were seen/heard/ect covered with a field of static against them. 7-Energy Sheathe (Electricity) RM-30 -Can generate an energy field around himself that provides defense as listed. -Defense Rm-30 vs All, Am-50 vs Electricity, Gd-10 vs Control and Conversion, Plasma is counted as +1cs vs, Full Environmental Rm-30 8-Carrier Wave (Electricity) FE-02 -Speed:2APR 30MPH /.5MPM to 20APR 300MPH / 5MPM -Weight elf + 50 pounds to Self + 10 Tons -By generating and controlling electrical fields, can transport himself and additional weight determined by amount of energy generated. Initial rank is determined by base power rank. This can be increased or decreased by using suplimentary powers (Takes an action) BACKGROUND: My name is Kevin Striker, formerly of the United States Army Rangers, 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Ranger Battalion, Delta Company. Currently, I'm an Evo and prime candidate to join the United Nations IST. I'll get back to that later. There's not much to say about my life prior to the military. Like my mother, I don't know who my father is, and at this point I don't care. My mother, who I do know, is kind of a idiot and we don't talk; not since she joined that cult out in California. At age six, I wound up in the care of my grandparents and my life finally started taking a turn for the better; they loved and raised me as best they could, I love them right back. My interest in the military got started thanks to Grandpa, a World War II vet who served in the Pacific theater with the 6th Ranger Battalion. He was a great story teller, and granted I think he embellished a lot of it, but it was his stories and him being good role model in my life that set my course. I wanted to join the Army and I wanted to be a Ranger, just like Grandpa. That's what I did. The day after I graduated from high school I went and joined the U.S. Army, and I signed up for the Infantry school. Let tell you, joining the military is a rude awakening for a young stupid kid, but once I got woke up I didn't turn away. It was full steam ahead and no stops until I got the job done. That was the ethic I adopted until I completed my basic and advanced schools in the beginning, that was the ethic I've used for every job I was given after that. Work hard, be smart, and give it everything you got. The kind of ethic they look for in a Ranger. After a few short years of busting my ass, I finally achieved my goal and earned my Ranger tab. It was like coming home very first time. Unlike some of the poor lost souls out there in the world, I found where I belonged and the worked I loved doing best, along with being able to do that work along side other men who shared my ethics and love of the job. Here, my fellow soldiers and I could actually go out and make difference out there in the world. A difference that you could see and really mattered to the people you were fighting for. Something that you could be proud of for the rest of your life. Like my Grandpa was of his time in the service. So I hope you can understand just how @#$%& up I feel, now that part of my life is over with. On my last mission as a Ranger, my squad was running an operation in Afghanistan and we were dropped deep into enemy territory. Our goal was to capture or kill a big time terrorist leader who had given us and allies hard time in this part of the world. Intel said he was hold up in a village with a few gunmen and a lot of innocent people, awaiting the arrival of some high tech weapon that was being smuggled in. This place was deep in unfriendly territory and our enemy never thought twice that would take a chance to send in a team to come and get his ass. We penetrated the villages perimeter, taking out the sentries as we went, and made our way in to where the big boss was holding up. We got in real close before we got made and then it got hot real quick. Most of the people in the village got out of there quick when the shooting started; some of them tried to help their 'esteemed' guest, but they quickly gave that up and got out after a few of them were shot down. Our target and his forces, and whoever was escorting the weapon, made an attempt at a fight, but these clowns were no match against professionally trained and experienced soldiers. We had them routed in the first few seconds of the fight and they were falling back to the big house our target had been occupying, leaving a trail the dead and dying as they went. We were so confident that we were going to close the door on this asshole and his buddies, I started to make the call for an immediately evacuation. That's it. That's the last thing I remember about that night. I was on the radio, making the call for evac, then radio makes his god awful squeal and everything goes dark. What happened? Well this what I've been told from couple of friends of mine after I recovered. Our backup team came in hot and fast after command abruptly lost contact with us. What they found wasn't pretty. Apparently, the big boss decided it was time to cash in on his seventy-two virgins and decided to flip the switch on whatever doomsday weapon that was delivered to them. According the experts that pulled the weapon apart, it sends out a invisible energy wave that cases a violent physical disruption in a living creatures neural pathways, or simply put, flip the switch and everybody's head explodes. That's exactly what they found. Every man, woman, and child, plus every animal in the village, the big boss and his boys and my team, everything in a five hundred yard radius of the weapon was found headless, the soldiers on the scene described it as if a bomb had gone off in their heads, leaving behind a great big bloody mess. Except for one lone survivor they laying against a wall, surrounded by the bodies of friends and squad mates. Physically intact but catatonic. Me. I out of it for six long months. During that time, the doctors and experts figured out that I was an Evo. Given the circumstances, it wasn't too hard for them to figure my powers was specialized towards electricity. Apparently, my powers had already activated and were in their infancy at the time of the mission. It was what kept my head from being blown off, because my body can handle high levels of electricity, including my brain. So, doctors and experts all decided that my powers saved me from being headless but not from being a vegetable for the rest of my life. They weren't sure if I would ever recover. At the end of the six months, a powerful thunder storm that rolled through the area. From reports, the VA hospital I was staying in was struck numerous times. Apparently, my powers were reacting to the presence of the of storm and was drawing on it for energy. I have the ability to manipulate the neural pathways of a human being, and that power was rewiring my own neural pathways in my brain, or, as I like to think of it, restart the computer. Given the nature of my other powers, I was either causing all of the electronics on my floor to go insane, or little arcs of blue lightning was seen crackling over my body. When the storm ended, so did my little show, but I had regained consciousness. Kevin Striker was back. Which leads to my currently situation. See, thanks to the laws set up by UN and its sponsoring nations, I can't be an Evo and still serve in the military. Even though the doctor signed off that I'm good to go in mind and body, they won't let me be a Ranger anymore. The only thing I ever wanted to be, the one thing I was good at doing. The place I knew where I belonged. That hurts. Hurts more then I'll ever admit. But I'm dead yet. Recently I was approached by a fancy dressed, smooth talker named Paul Diamond. He introduced himself as a recruiter for the United Nations International Super Teams, or IST, and made an offer for me to come work for them. He said they very, very interested in signing on a man with my training and experience. What could I say? IST isn't a big leap from being a Ranger, the only being I have super powers. So, I told I'd do it. I signed off on the paper work and now I'm on board the bus to Parris Island with several other IST candidates to begin our eight week training course. I'm not worried about the training, because isn't anything I haven't done before and I know I'll make the cut. The thing that gives me pause is what if the IST doesn’t make the cut with me? Not only are they not my first choice, they are the only choice a guy like me has and still make a difference in the world. I don't know, but I plan to find out. Only time will tell. RANGER CREED Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well- trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor. Rangers Lead The Way!!!
