The Agency 2.0-Interest Check

They call it many things. Karma. Justice. Fate. Just deserts. Many cultures have different ways of putting it, but all have noticed the trends that manage the world. How good triumphs over evil, how the underdog overcomes the giant. Most believe it to be some natural consequence of the world. Some say that it is god's hand at work. Well, we don't claim to work for god, that would be a little presumptuous of us. But our employers are powerful enough that many would mistake them for god in their own native universes. You don't know who they are, indeed you will never meet them. But rest assured, our mission is of vital importance. Without us, the whole multiverse would fall apart.

The common people of the multiverse know nothing of us. We work in the shadows to make sure that reality follows the intended course. Imagine, if you will, a train. That train has a track, one that it must run on in order to continue forward. Think of any given universe as a train, and the events that shape that universe as the track. So long as the train stays on course, all is well. But if the train deviates from that course, if events do not follow a given path, then only devastation awaits, as the train crashes, and the universe itself is threatened with destruction. Our employers have seen this happen countless times. And so they have formed this agency, known only as The Agency to those within it, to protect the mulltiverse.

You may be asking, who could possibly be trusted with such responsibility, to protect the lives of billions and trillions of beings? Members of our agency are picked from among the most exceptional beings in the multiverse. Each potential recruit goes through a heavy vetting process to ensure they will fit our needs. The first step is what many consider the last. Death. This ensures no loved ones or enemies will wonder what happened to a recruit, and helps to make sure we have seen all of a recruit's potential before considering them. Then we train them. It is not as long of a process as you may think. Indeed, most recruits learned the skills they need for this job in their past life. Those they did not learn, we teach, or match them up with other partners who will cover the skill gap. Most of the "training" consists of explaining the nature of the multiverse and the importance of our role. And after that, they are deployed into the field.

We do not claim this is a happy job. Agents are often unhappy with particular actions they are ordered to take that conflict with their own personal code. We kill when we need to. We frame, lie, steal, deceive, betray people when we need to. But we assure you, everything we do is necessary for the protection of the multiverse and the greater good.

Good day fellow TV Tropes R Pers. It's time for yet another reboot of an RP from me, this time one of a much different nature then my last one. This is yet another crossover RP. The basic premise here, as I laid out above, is that your chosen character, after they die, is offered a position as a new recruit in The Agency. When we begin the RP proper, your character will have already been a member of the Agency for a long enough period of time to not require exposition on why they are around and such. At least a few days to a few weeks or so. No mass introduction of characters will have taken place, although if individual players want to have characters meet already, that's fine.

As for what the "Missions" themselves will entail, that will vary wildly, Some will be stealth missions where the idea is to remain unnoticed while completing an assigned objective. Could be something like "Stop this villain from doing X to ensure he wins against the hero" or "Frame this guy for the death of a character". Others will be more explosive, with objectives to match. Maybe "Dress as forces of X country and blow up Y." I'm open to ideas on missions and the settings the missions will take the party to. And of course, all is not as it seems. A running theme I wanna establish is that not everything is black and white here. You'll run into resistance, somewhere out there, there may be someone or something trying to work against the Agency, and they might not be as evil as The Agency wants you to think. I'm a fan of moral ambiguity and stuff like that.

Does this concept sound interesting, or do you have questions? Sound off here.

You definitely have my interest!~

I sure liked the brief time we spent together last game, so sure.

Interested. Yes, indeedly.

Certainly interested.

Excellent. we have 4 so far, and I can count another 2 that already otherwise informed me they were returning. Good to see we have interest. At some point I'll get a signup....erm, up. If you got ideas for who you're using, throw em at me and I'll give you my quick and dirty opinion if I know them well enough.

First thought on who to use: Jotaro Kujo. Has a punch ghost and time stopping powers that will probably be nerfed.

You're in Battleworld. You're well aware of my stance on time powers.

That said, regarding nerfs. Because of the setup here, there are potential times when nerfs may be lifted momentarily if the party encounters a threat that requires the use of an otherwise OP power. Should mention that.

I'm up.

I'd just be joining back as Seija Kijin.

Could we act like the War-of-The-Worlds Mission from last time was some big Noodle Incident of a screw-up?

I'm gonna be reshuffling some of NPC's and such, so it won't have happened in exactly the same way. But if you'd like to make references to "That horrible first mission with the aliens", feel free.

Might be interested, though I'm having trouble deciding which character would be better suited out of several.

Alright. I'm gonna see about getting a signup posted up today.
