Are you a criminal person with a certain skill set interested in using your skills to make money while helping others get revenge attain justice?

Leverage International is recruiting!


This will be a role playing game, based on the TV series 'Leverage'.

Discussion thread

Game thread

Information / Data Dump Thread

You will be playing a former/current criminal recruited by the Leverage team to be part of a new 'Franchise office', and given a mission; someone who is basically using their power / knowledge of the law / etc. to steal from innocent people. Your mission will be to stop the target and get payback for the people they've messed with.

If you don't know the series Leverage, think of your favorite heist movie (Ocean's 13 for example) with a much smaller crew and the coal of being Just Like Robin Hood.

I plan to be using the Cortex Plus Leverage system. I don't expect players to know the system, I will do my best to provide all the information you'll need in the discussion thread. If you do have questions, either ask in the discussion thread or send the question(s) in a private message.

EXAMPLE:

Sign up Sheet:

Character Name: Colin Mason

Nickname/Major Alias(es): Chaos, the Kobayishu Maru

Primary Role: Hacker

Secondary Role: Grifter

Worst Role: Hitter

Attributes: (Using Focused)

Agility: Good

Alertness: Great

Intelligence: Great

Strength: Average

Vitality: Average

Willpower: Good

One distinctive characteristic you have: Digital Drunken Master (Able to find unusual angles to attack problems, has trouble when the old ways are the best ways)

Background: Chaos was recruited as a 'second level' Leverage agent, back when Nathan Ford was running things. Chaos considers himself a master of digital warfare, easily the equal of Hardison, and usually comes across as arrogant(which he is). Chaos has been alternatively an enemy and an ally to the core Leverage crew, with Chaos's primary motivations being his own self interest and ego.

Character Picture/Description: Picture, the one on the right


Feel free to give your character's characteristic an evocative/colorful name, as long as you explain it. Please note that the characteristic must be something that can sometimes be good and sometimes be bad. This should basically be 'What is both your character's greatest strength and your character's greatest weakness?'.

Sign up Sheet:

  • Character Name: Josephine "Jo" Northmoor
  • Nickname/Major Alias(es): Honest Jo
  • Primary Role: Grifter
  • Secondary Role: Thief
  • Worst Role: Hacker
  • Attributes: Focused
    • Agility: Great
    • Alertness: Good
    • Intelligence: Great
    • Strength: Average
    • Vitality: Average
    • Willpower: Good
  • One distinctive characteristic you have:
    • Finesser: Jo has a natural charm and tendency to captivate those she's trying to scam, and is determined enough to wriggle her way out of any verbally sticky situation. However, this can backfire if she slips up even once—losing both her confidence and control over the situation yet still remaining prideful enough not to back down, even when she needs to.
  • Background: Jo was initially a carefree job-hopper before she found her niche in selling broken or nigh-worthless goods for a profit, soon expanding into elaborate scams and schemes so as to build up a false reputation as a trustworthy and honest saleswoman. With a couple of bad jobs crippling her public perception early on, she soon began developing even more underhanded skills in cat burglary and general thievery in order to legitimize her business in the public eye even further, and while by this point seriously considering an early retirement in the hopes of preserving her somewhat patched up reputation, her skills are still at her prime and she's more than ready to let herself get involved in a few more jobs before she moves on yet again.
  • Character Picture/Description: 5'10". Likes to keep herself wrapped up as much as possible. Green eyes, though they're almost never seen since she so rarely removes her sunglasses. Has an athletic frame due to her experience in thievery.

  • Character Name: Kevin "Mikhail" Johnson

  • Nickname/Major Alias(es): Mikhail/Misha

  • Primary Role: Hitter

  • Secondary Role: Thrifter

  • Worst Role: Hacker

  • Attributes: Focused

  • Agility: Good

  • Alertness: Good

  • Intelligence: Average

  • Strength: Great

  • Vitality: Great

  • Willpower: Average

  • One distinctive characteristic you have:
    • Thug at Heart: When it comes to more dirty methods of interrogation or combat in general, Kevin is amazing, but isn't good at "playing nice." This often leads to some yelling whenever he has to squeeze out some information.

  • Background:
    • Growing up in the slums with his mother and no siblings, he often did whatever he could to get money for his family, regardless of how dirty the job would be, as long as it paid. One of the recurring jobs was during school, being beating up bullies, which he got good at fairly quickly. This allowed him to make a decent amount of money growing up, the money quickly racking up and allowing him to take martial arts classes.
    • His mother soon found a boyfriend who seemed a bit too good, suspiciously so. The new boyfriend often made hints at how Kevin was a tough guy with not much to show in scholarships but phrased it as to not upset Kevin's mother.
    • He decided to take on dirty jobs for a decent profit whenever he's not working as a security guard so that he can have a decent amount of leisure money while still paying for his apartment.
  • Character appearance or description: 6'4" with a muscular build, African American skin tone, blue eyes, and black hair. Clothes: A grey t-shirt with a black hoodie, as well as navy sweatpants, and some black and white running shoes.

Looks good, can't wait to get more players and start this thing up.

Hoping for at least one more player; I could try running with two but the system is really geared to groups of three to five.

  • Character Name: Dr. Gordon Adamos
  • Nickname/Major Alias(es): Doc
  • Primary Role:
    • Mastermind
  • Secondary Role:
    • Hacker
  • Worst Role:
    • Hitter
  • Attributes: Focused.
    • Agility: GOOD
    • Alertness: GOOD
    • Intelligence: GREAT
    • Strength: AVERAGE
    • Vitality: AVERAGE
    • Willpower: GREAT
  • One distinctive characteristic you have: Bedside Manner. Doc was, unsurprisingly, a doctor in a prior life. Might not have a "medical license" and it might be "illegal" for him to practice medicine, but he still has the training and knowledge that come with that.
  • Background: Doc was a successful doctor up until a decade ago when he refused to take place in a scheme to fast-track a dangerous medication through clinical trials, and [Evil Pharma Company] discredited him by planting evidence, resulting in him losing his license. Since then he's been using his considerable free time to lurk the seedy underbelly of society (and taking online classes) in order to learn the ins and outs of the masterminding and information game, with the goal of one day taking down all of the VIPs who were involved in destroying his career.
  • Character Picture/Description: Probably something like this. (Just... ignore the sword, it's hard enough finding people who aren't teens on safebooru, let alone male.) And figure less bishie and more "early 40's".

[up] Dr. Adamos's information has been updated into Chaos's files. Please let me know of any changes. Otherwise, approved.

Also, NEW PLAYERS WELCOME.
