Super Heroes Wiki-Prologue

--Edmiao 21:43, 8 June 2008 (MST)I begin the Supers wiki-prologue. I would say that any and all should edit at will. you may change anything that i have written, delete it, alter it, change a single name, add to it, whatever. If anyone objects to things for specific reasons, discuss on the talk page. I present an outline of thoughts that arose from friday post WW below.

Outline

Viho and Brim are acquainted from archaeological backgrounds

Emir abu-Kaliq hires Brim to do a dig somewhere in africa. In this dig they find a coffin/box which is removed by Emir to parts unknown

Later, during Desert Storm I, Elemental is unleased on the battlefeild. Somehow realizing that this was the thing he dug up, Brim starts to feel bad about giving it to Emir. He contacts Viho to seek aid to take down Elemental.

Together they stop Elemental and find his memory book, and are able to erase or strike out the line that Emir wrote that said "you are the loyal servent of Emir abu-Kaliq." Elemental returns to the states under the stewardship of our heroes.

Somehow, would be good to integrate Gabe's and Deiter's characters into the above as well. feel free to add villians, make setting changes, whatever. general descriptions of the characters would be helpful.

Supers Prequil

Chapter 1: Uneathing an Element

(In which Brim is enlisted by Emir, Elemental unearthed)

Chapter 2: Iraq War - Eruption

On March 20, 2003, a coalition led by the US invaded Iraq. During the lead up to the war, Saddam Hussein was given several opportunities to allow UN weapons inspectors unfettered access to potential weapons facilities. The fact that he did not allow the inspectors in was, in part, evidence that he had significant weapons caches and thus had little to fear from an pre-emptive invasion. Covert US intelligence unearthed the foundation for this confidence: Iraq had a new weapon.

(Alternately, in Iraq war #1: August 2, 1990. Saddam Hussein launches an invasion of Kuwait and rapidly secures the country. The west is concerned that Saudi Arabia will fall next, effectively corning the oil market under Iraqi control and the US moves forces into Saudi territory on August 7.)

American intelligence suggets a significant step forward in Iraqi arms in what is initially described as mechanized body armor, but later is seen to be what appears to be a man cloaked in lava (??). It appears that there is only one prototype, but it is unstoppable. On February 2, 2003, the most high tech covert ops (a little help here?) are sent in to neutralize the threat, and are soundly defeated, but yeild valuable intelligence on the threat. Oddly enough, the operator seems to consult an instruction manual frequently when out of combat, as if unfamiliar with the operations of his new armor. This despite the fact that it moves with unimaginable agility for a mechanism of its bulk.

--Gdaze 22:15, 8 June 2008 (MST) I'm not really interested in fighting for the government, at all, so I vote anything to do with the war down. I really want to play more of a supers world, as in we fight villians, not forign powers as much... but m'eh.

Chapter 3: Desert Storm - Storm Clouds Rising

(In which our heroes join the fray and contain/rescue Elemental)
