Que background fire:

Que ominous music:

Que overzealous “laying it on thick” supervillain rant:

So, it is done. The greatest writers to ever grace the FPL have merged together to create what may be the most dominant super team ever. There must be retribution. I for one will not stand idly by and let the vets have their way unchallenged!! So, I treacherous (that one is for Ivan), am forming the definitive arch-villain team. A good hero is defined by his villain, therefore a villaining we shall go. I will be handpicking the writers to help me form a team of utter epicness and pwn! I am looking for upstarts and up and comers from both the CBUB and the FPL. So, be on the lookout EFers, because there will be a reckoning! Remember: If you can’t join em…BEAT EM!! MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!!

End rant.

Que death metal/gangsta rap montage music:

p.s. This is done in the utmost respect and enthusiasm and to further interest in the FPL game. With that being said...DIE HEROES!! <_<

........

Okay, so here’s the gist of the new villain’s team I am creating. First, for all of you that do not know the former world of Khazan is going kaput as displayed here and here. I was given permission some time ago to recreate a character by one of the FPL greats. Her name is the Child of the Spire. Well, she died in the CoC storyline, but she is now back and with a vengeance. Landon had bigger plans for this character that he never put into action. Sooooo, I am going to create the story for this unfinished character.

Here is the concept of the team to get you guys started on ideas. Quoting Landon:

“Her deal was that she was revealed to be ANOTHER one of my characters, Rasa Sayang, who was a sort of cosmic harbinger of chaos. Where she went, BAD THINGS happened, and it was her "job" to witness these BAD THINGS. She was a sort of mindless entity that acted on primal instincts and whatnot that just happened to take the form of a young girl. With Child of the Spire, she had taken root in the Fallen Tower and was acting as a harbinger for the Fallen's inevitable "fall" and simply killed anyone that got in the way of her "job," regardless of team affiliation.”

Upon her return, she has taken up residence somewhere in this new FPL Earth. She will be found and she will be worshipped; by us. She is the harbinger of chaos and our villainous group will be her protectors. We will bring chaos and destruction closer by acts of random and calculated violence, anarchy and death. We will protect her with everything we are worth. WE WILL BE THE CHILDREN OF SAYANG/CHAOS (Or anything else you guys can come up with)! Are goal is to usher in the chaos, baby! So…now you have something to work with. You may either PM me with your ideas or post them in the character’s analysis (which I don’t believe has been posted yet).

Members of Children of Chaos

Treacherous - Rasa Sayang is mine. : )
Tarvius - psycho/Joker type
Fenris Wolf - Undecided
SilverSurfer092 - Undecided
XenoD - Anti Villain (The Magneto type)
MarvelMan - The Lost everything and I'm taking out my anger on the world type
Technomancer of Nesh - The Fallen Hero
Darkender - Mentalist
Artemis Entreri - Calculated killer
Godspeed-88 - Ego maniac
Culwych - Sadist
Granobulax - Hero
and The Poet (who's thinking of reinventing one of his older characters into a more sinister new character, which would work out perfectly here.)

Remember n00bs (heh heh, Alway wanted to say that in an FPL setting), writing is everything on the FPL and no vote mongering!!

I've got one recruit. They've called dibs on the psychopath type villain. I will post the names of this vile writing cast once I (hopefully) get everybody I request for.

Muahahahahahaa!! *cough cough* hahaha!!

It might be advisable to just create these characters on their own first. If you take the time to read the hero team thread, the characters are all going to exist separately first, and then come together to solve a crisis. The point of this is that the classic good-guy team is a pretty standard fixture in most superhero fiction. A pre-emptive villain response squad doesn't necessarily make sense yet.

I am by no means saying you can't or shouldn't create a villainous team at some point. I'm just saying this is like coming up with the Legion of Doom before Action Comics #1 is even printed.

It should be noted here, or somewhere, that just because a few veteran creators are getting together to talk about continuity, nobody is excluded from writing and/or creating for the new FPL. We're starting things off with a small, controlled story that is a jumping off point for the new continuity so in the future newbies can catch up easily.

My suggestion is to write about a character from your hometown and how that person copes with gaining their powers. Most of these folks start with an origin story.

Since I have no idea how the new FPL continuity will play out, my goal was just to assemble a cast for now. Brainstorm on a few ideas for their characters. Help newbies get acclimated with the little I know about FPL. I am trying to recruit and introduce newbies to the FPL. Writers that I know could excel in it. There is going to be a learning curve of course, but I'm hoping I can help them with that. My goal is n00b recruitment. Then, wait for you guys to drop your thing and work around it. By no means did I plan on creating this whole thing before you guys get off the ground. No way. Also, each character would be it's own separate entity, however, they would work as one when trying to accomplish big goals (hopefully in a few fics). I've got a plan.

I'm open to further suggestions however.

I've got two, though I'm a little scared of what Surfer will bring to the table.

By the way, this will not be the definitive villainous counter point to the heroes team (as I'm sure the "continuity council" can handle that), but it will definitely be a villainous team within the continuity.

I have 5 that have responded, 2 that have asked to join and an unexpected extra that I couldn't possibly turn down. There are still three others that I am waiting for, in the meantime, here's a brief explanation of what I'm doing.

First, as anybody worth their weight in comics knows villains don't work well together. So, I've come up with a workable concept that would bring these evil types together. I will PM common purpose of this team. Feel free to add any comments or suggestions. Once you receive this PM, feel free to create anything you'd like around the perimeters of the concept. Use this down time to flesh out basic concept and ideas of your character.

When I said dibs on the villain type of villain, it's because I think it's really quite silly to say "I have dibs on this type of character." Maybe "dibs on these powers," but other than that, it's silly. You can have multiple of the same archetypes of villains and still have it be interesting. It would create for some interesting dialogue. Same powers, maybe not so much.

I think it's interesting that you think like that. I think if you think like that, then you should be able to create something very interesting.

I can't wait wait until this gets off the ground. I'm glad I joined up. With Treach in charge and Surfer involved I knw this will be big. Although I'm honestly very curious abou who this unexpected extra is.

w00t!! Got one more. That's 10 people and the unexpected extra. I will list the names of the writers of this villainous team later. These people will be all I'm taking. I don't want the team to be too big, but I do want enough to cause a little trouble in Khazan! After all, there has to be good villains for the heroes to throw in the slammer.

Nah, Darkender's in. He PM'd me early looking all sad with droopy ears and stuff. I couldn't say no to that face. I'm pretty full as I need to be right now.

I'm going to give you all the concept of the team and then you should work your bios around that. I would rather you PM them to me. You want things like that to be a surprise. Unless you'd like to post it for critiquing.
