The Mavericks

So, I got it into my head to bring Lara Damon (Damon Fury) to CoH. Now, you may be asking yourself, "Self, do I even know who this Damon chick is?", and answering something along the lines of, "Dude, I don't even know what you're talking about half the time."

Let me splainy...

No, that'll take too long. Lemme sum up...

Lara Damon was this really cool chick I played in my Yahell group that was from this really neat world I'd made up in my head that I eventually went ahead and wrote up for a D&D campaign that lasted like a million billion trillion years and even now is taking up a couple of shelves on the desk with piles and piles of notes... *takes a breath, continues* She grew up in a castle cuz she's like a princess (but don't call her that cuz she'll hurt you bad) who was supposed to marry this really really boring elf guy, so she was like "See ya!" and took off. She fights, she cusses, she plays dirty, she hangs out with pirates and vampires, she drinks (a LOT), she gambles, she does the opposite of what anyone expects her to, and there's a little larceny in her blood (just a little, I swear).

Got all that?

She's one of your anti-hero heroes. My favorite concept pic is this one, which a friend helped make all purty for her web page (which is long gone, I think). She's one of the good guys. Usually. Most of the time.

Anyway, I told Mike and Steve that I made her for CoH, and they were like "DUDE" and I was like "yeah :)" and they asked if I was gonna put her in one of the SG's.

Um...it's not that I don't like any of the SG's available in Champs United, but I was at a loss. Maybe the Allies? Meh. She'd tell you she's not a joiner.

So, I thought "What if I started an SG that fit?"

Thus, the Mavericks has been born. This is not a group for cape-wearing HEROES who are out to make a better Paragon City. This is a group for renegades, rebels, and rogues. This is where...hmm...okay...scenario:

While rescuing the CEO of whatever company from the stupid sky raiders, he tells you that he owes you his life. You turn around and say, "Well, that's nice. Thanks. Say! Is this a picture of your son/daughter? Is he/she seeing anyone right now?"

Or this:

Most of the stolen goods were recovered when you were sent to the Hellion hideout.

See where I'm going with this? Yeah, the Mavericks will get the job done, and they're certainly not the type that would actually take advantage of someone in trouble. They just...might have an ulterior motive or three lurking somewhere beneath the surface.

Sound like fun?
