Starkweather's Association

Starkweather's Assocation is a heavy RP VG annexed to the blue-side S/VG Villains of Paragon City. In an attempt to liberate the Isles from Recluse and his Arachnos army, Starkweather moved a portion of his forces to The Rogue Isles. They aren't "heroes" or "vigilantes," rather, a fighting force that'll do -anything- to free the Isles of Recluse's tyranny; thus, attempting to create a future of complete order.

Backstory

A few years since John Starkweather rebelled against Arachnos, John returned back to Paragon City to rebuild his organization, the Villains of Paragon City under the facade 'Phalanx of Paragon;' in an attempt to destroy Longbow and it's flourishing hero populace from within.

However, not everything went as planned...

In due time, a small group of members found out Starkweather's true intentions and rebelled from his ranks, creating a counter-measure group known as the Safe Havens. Months later after initial revolt, his facade was successfully unmasked thanks to the FBSA with the aid of the Safe Havens, sending him and his entire network within the City to go underground once more. However, they still plotted for another way to destroy Hero Corps, anything that could cause them to win - from the spread of the viral agent known as the 'R-Virus,' to the bombings of select facilities, many ending in failures and the moderate success rate.

After realizing how a multi-networked establishment such as his couldn't remain in the shadows for so long, he came to a conclusion that there was one place in the world where one wouldn't need to hide themselves, one place where true order was needed: The Rogue Isles.

Having no intention to abandon his agents in Paragon, he began to move in select paramilitary units and operatives into the Rogue Isles...

Recruitment

The SA recruits in villains, Destined Ones, almost anything that can help their cause, including former Arachnos agents.

Alts are carefully watched and maintained by Officers of the SG, we only allow /one/ alt for each level 50, although, there may be some exceptions. Additionally, inactivity up to 30 days will result in a boot from the VG, unless given a good reason not to.

Even though the SA has a wide arsenal of members; we don’t tolerate in-fighting. Verbal assault is controlled, but manageable to a point. Extension in disobedience will result in an IC punishment.

Additionally, if your member is a still employed member of Arachnos, OOC approval will be needed to have your character in. Along with IC interrogation and reasoning for joining the SA, finally, your request to join may be denied.

IC and OOC rules

1. IC rule: Listen to the higher command: They have their position due to extended time in the SA, unless the order is foolish and unwise, obey them. This goes for training modules, battlefield combat and even cleaning the apartment -- however, the other officers must give an acceptable reason before punishing a lower rank, and cannot label any member a "traitor," unless given permission by Starkweather.

2. IC rule: We aren't the enemy: We're liberators and fighters against Arachnos and Longbow. In-fighting is /HIGHLY/ discouraged, including arguing. If this occurs, IC punishments will occur, and arguements will be stopped via "the communicator".

3. OOC rule: Learn how to text fight: Considering the VoPC/SA will get into RP text fighting, learn how to text fight. Others within the group will be more than happy to teach you how to do such a well-needed skill in roleplays. God-modding is discouraged around the VG, and if any OOC hatred formates around your opponent, avoidance is recommended.

4. OOC rule: If you want a friend in who doesn't RP, teach 'em!: Face it, we were all "noobs" in roleplays before, but we eventually learned how to roleplay properly. It would be your responsibility to teach the new recruit you brought in the following: IC (In Character), OOC (Out of Character), brackets, proper sentencing and punctuation, and finally, text-fighting.

Due to the fact that John's forces in the Isles are in constant watch by Arachnos, the best guise avaliable was buying out an apartment complex in St. Martial, which is now where SA "privileged" soldiers (Players) operate out of and live at, while the rest of his Isle forces (NPCs) stay in clandestine cells throughout the islands.

Deep down in the basement of the complex, the apartment has a communication's relay to converse with his other cells and coalitioned allies of the Association; additionally, shushed experiments may he held down within the basement.

((Note: The SA needs a base architect! :O -- If you feel up for hard work and editing the apartment (base), send me a tell at @Heaven's Night!))

Global IC Chat Channel

The extension of the SA and VoPC requires a long-range communicator for members on both sides. The global chat channel 'Signal Alpha Beta' runs from a relay beneath the basement of the apartment complex, which is upkept by mechanics daily. The channel itself was made for upcoming RP events, situations and even casual talk.

Stories

Stories such as the ones below are actual IC events written in ‘story form.’ While some have not be played out yet, they are bound to in the near future. While some stories are VoPC, others will be SA.

Subpages

Link: VoPC/Created Weaponry: The VoPC and SA has confidential connections to rogue scientists and agents of select worldwide organizations such as Crey, Malta, Arachnos, etc. Due to elongated research and experimentation, the villains have managed to create new forms of weaponry, whether it is an organic super weapon to a simple modified rifle.
