Open story to for us returning to Paragon after the long absence. All DP members feel free to post in the story as they come back.

So did we decide what and where the DP were for the last 6 years and the status of Paragon City?
We had a couple in game discussions of the team having moved to Detroit, and one of an alternate universe.
I know what I had Crimsonstar doing the last half decade but want to incorporate what disbanded /moved DP into the story.

Several of us talked about it one night and the consensus that everyone seemed to like is DPPC was ultimately shut down from the aftermath of Blind Loyalty. Some moved onto Detroit to start a chapter there, some just moved on to other places. Que in 2019, a resurgence of super powered villain activity in Paragon City has resulted in an outcry for some of the more famous supergroups to step up into the light again. This led to Homeland deciding that maybe it was time to start up DPPC again. They reached out to Lady B, who after spending about a year setting up the Detroit chapter, moved back to England. They requested she return to the blue & white and start up DPPC again, and after thinking about it, she agreed.

Perfect! I'll probably be telling both Crimsontar's and Lady V's stories.
God I missed this game and you people so effing much.

And Mars and Alex have 'entered the fray' so to speak.

Modified my initial post slightly to reflect stuff mentioned in Crim's initial post.

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps there is general alert that Tania sends out, basically all our comms start blinking, a signal to report to headquarters. That way we can all jump in as we are able, rather than waiting for a specific call. And you won't have to keep editing your posts. I'm not sure if I should start up Stacey's story in the return thread or start a new one. I'm going to have her talking to Jenny, and joining the DP at her suggestion, so I could have their stories interlaced. Thoughts?

Actually, that's a good idea Wondie, the general activation signal. I'm working on my next post now, and I'll throw that in there. Kind of like an "Avengers Assemble!" type of deal.

Okay, for those posting in the future "The call" has been sent out. Any post of arriving at the base or calling in for verfying clearance Identity, the following security classification should be used:
Patrollers/Sergeants: Lancelot 01
Leftenants: Lancelot 02
So an example of stating your clearance would be:
says to the guard " Sergeant Maxim, Theodore. Codename Pistol Pete. Lancelot 01; Pete 003 Bravo Charlie 2105."
I can't wait to see you guys posting in!
EDIT: Also, for clarification. the phrase "Rising Dawn" in the communication, the meaning of it in my post is that it was a pre-agreed upon code that DPPC was re-activating.

Okay, so, "Lancelot ##" comes from your rank, where does the rest come from? Made up by you for your character?

Dawn Knight is a robotic character, and a combination of knight errant and general bodyguard for Dawn Patrol members. In game terms, he's a broadsword / shield scrapper. My original idea was that he was a "gift" from Lady Jane - ostensibly a sort of olive branch / apology for the events of Blind Loyalty, and acts exactly as you'd expect - formal, courteous, helpful, and all too willing to charge into danger to protect other members of the Dawn Patrol. However, I'm leaving open a story hook that perhaps he's the new mole to replace Sgt. Darling, and has some kind of hidden surveillance/sabotage protocols. That said, if we ever run with that storyline, I of course want Dawn Knight back after it's over . Something like, oh, we caught him, ripped out the surveillance programming, and he's back to being the Dawn Knight we all know and love/tolerate. Anyway, my point was that I'm not sure how to introduce him into RtP. Lady Jane has already visited and then been escorted out of the city. It could be that she just dropped him off in storage on her way in, but then I feel like I'm intruding on Bot's territory. My other idea was that Lady Jane slipped a crate containing Dawn Knight into Skritchie's effects, but to me that feels odd and kind of forced, for reasons I can't quite explain. Something that just occurred to me as I write this, however, is that following Lady Jane visiting and being escorted out, she ships Dawn Knight over from England - again, ostensibly as an olive branch, but secretly her new mole in the DP. Does that sound viable?

Does that sound viable? Just because of past history/stories we've done, at least in-character wise, Lady Britania, Crimsonstar, and Scarlet Scorpion will never trust anything that comes from Lady Jane, so would be immediately and forever suspicious on anything that came from her as a 'gift'. If I may suggest, what if you went with something along the lines of Dawn Knight was sent by Homeland R&D for us to test out as a new fast-deploy robot? Something that a Patroller in need of back-up could call out when no other Patrollers were available, or one of the command officers could send out on a specialized mission? That way, if you wanted, you avoid the stigmata of automatic suspicion of the command staff, but if you wanted to do so, could still slip in some 'alternate programming' rp involving Lady Jane from time to time as part of Dawn Knights activities?
