The Silver Age Sentinels.

[Light Roleplay, Casual-Friendly, and Silver to Bronze Age Fun themed Super Group]


Liberty. Justice. Security. Peace.

These are the four pillars of a better world: a land of hope, freedom, and truth, where life is not a burden to endure but a joy to experience. There are threats you cannot conquer, tragedies you cannot avoid, and sins you cannot punish. We are here to help. We will support you when you stumble, keep watch when you sleep, and help you achieve the unreachable. We will show you how to touch Paradise. We are The Sentinels, and you are safe on our watch.



Who we are, what we stand for;
Silver Age Sentinels focuses on what heroes do best -- being heroes.


What does a "light-roleplay, casual-friendly environment" mean?
By "light-roleplay" we mean to suggest that the Supergroup is RP-friendly, and we want to create a welcoming environment for people who enjoy that aspect of the game (since we do). That said, many of us sometimes focus a little bit more on stomping tail than lengthy monologues.

By "casual-friendly" we mean to say that we will never ask players to put the game before their real lives, jobs, family or friends. Planned events will be kept to a minimum, and they won't be mandatory. If a player wants to log in and just beat up a few bad guys on his own, without having to get involved in whatever RP or missions are going on with the group at the time, that's perfectly fine with us.


To be frank*, we specifically, intentionally exist as an alternative to Heavy Roleplaying super groups, with lengthy recruitment and application processes, constant, back-to-back or continuing events, and more subplots going on at any one time than anyone could ever keep up with.

We are about roleplaying, and playing in character, but not to such a degree that someone might become lost if they don't keep up with current events, or left behind if they are unable to log in as often or regularly as some of the other members, nor are we so large that you might feel lost in the crowd.

If you want a fun group of mature roleplayers to hang out and chat with, in and out of character, without feeling that you will get left behind if you aren't able to log in four nights a week, then we are looking for you!

If you prefer to roleplay with [and your own characters are] more classic tights wearing, "Heroes' heroes", and wonder what it is today with all these gun toting thugs in masks, taking money for their so-called good deeds, we're the team for you!


If the above criteria spark your interest, or at any point while reading that you wanted to high five this post author, please click the link below and take a spin through the Information boxes on the front page which go into even more specific details of what we are about, both in and out of character. Light or casual roleplayers, looking for a home away from heavy angst, enjoy a small team feel, please move on to the next few simple steps!

Read those info boxes, and click the "Join this Guild" button to generate a few questions to answer that will go into your very own recruitment thread. Post in that new thread for your availability, and I or one of my officers will respond by attempting to schedule a good time to meet you in-game!

This team has existed since old beta, and has been through a few roster shake ups, one after beta ended, and another with the great player fallout of October. I've long kept the group an invitation-only, small and 'best kept secret' type of group for all this time, and I have only recently decided that it is time to open the doors to actual recruitment.


~Rune, proud leader of the Silver Age Sentinels.

    Also of interest is the Miniature coalition of associated super groups.

    The Silver Age Sentinels is most easily identified with The Defenders, a loose collection of like minded and noble heroes with some extra fun and humor injected, but slightly better known and much more respected. Founder and team leader; Rune

    This is the main team, and where the majority of us spend our time in character. Almost all of the Vibora Bay leveled characters reside here, haha.

    GLOBE is a SHIELD like international agency with UNTIL and PRIMUS clearances, headed up and ran by Super heroes. Founded by the Fighting-Canadian [a Canadian 'Captain America' homage], and currently led by an American Speedster hero with a sports car motif. Deputy Director; KnightHawk.

    This alt team is the home for many of our more modern agent hero alts, such as Stormwatch, with a slightly more bronze age, heroic feel. In characterly, this groups 'Aero-Carrier', The Artimus, serves as the HQ, transportation, communications and logistical needs of all the other groups as well.


    The Young Sentinels is our newest addition to the Coalition, it is a younger but no-longer-in-training super hero team similar to the flavor of the New Warriors, or Teen Titans. Young Justice fits as well, with some extra Runaways and Power Pack flavor if desired. All Ravenswood Academy / Homeroom Alpha characters are also Young Sentinels as a "Cover". Co-chairmen; Conductress, Amethyst


    Ravenswood Academy is a School in the Pen & Paper lore, nominally an ordinary (if highly exclusive) private school, but secretly intended primarily to train young superhumans in the proper use of their abilities. Kristina Pelvanen, formerly the superheroine Rowan, founded Ravenswood Academy in 1989, and still serves as headmistress after she retired from her heroic life. It's secret "Homeroom Alpha" is the actual training program underneath the Academy, and only it's specific teachers, students and thrusted allies know about it. Senior Class Rep; Amethyst

    This alt team serves as an area for In-training Teen concept heroes, for younger X-men and New Mutants types in particular, but being a mutant is not a requirement, merely having special powers or training and the recognized need to be further trained and educated is enough. Teen Angst in moderation welcome. :p


    The primary difference between the Ravenswood Academy and Young Sentinels is that the Academy group is for and about students, the Young Sentinels is about young super heroes, whether it is the 'younger adult' flavor of the New Warriors from the 90s, or the "Younger but hand wave off the school stuff" type of Teen Titans thing going on like Teen Titans, Runaways or Young Justice.


    The Golden Age Guardians are our allies and friends, in some cases better known heroes but all taking a "High road" moral stance with the younger members looking forward, even eager to learn from the older members. Co-chairmen; Red Eagle and Blue Eagle

    Close in concept to DCs Justice Society as a team of older, well experienced world war two era heroes and their descendants and legacies. Shares some common ideals with Marvels Invaders and their teen sidekicks from seventies comics. In many ways they really are, both in and out of character, the "Avengers/Justice League" larger and better known super group, to our own intentionally smaller "Defenders/Justice Society".

    There's never a shortage of people to run with in the Coalition, and a good amount of awesome (and often times, hilarious) role-play and plot-hooks spring up.

    I don't regret throwing my hat in with this lot at all!

    The GLOBE Coalition, which is mainly the Silver Age Sentinels and it's alt teams, is over sixty members strong, more than half of which are regular players, on at least four days/nights a week.

    We're still growing, and if you have interest, take a look at the first two posts for all the relevant information!

    Thanks for the response, I think that your group sounds great for me, but I do have one nubtastic question: What is a "silver age" theme? Is this like the chronological silver age, or a reference to a color scheme or what? :P

    I'd love to join up, btw.

    Hi Dopehandz. Answers to those questions are found in Information boxes on the top left of the front page of our Super Groups website, but in a nutshell, Silver Age style is like the Comics from 1956 to 1971, encompassing all of the sixties.

    Not everything there was silly like the old Batman TV series, although there certainly was a ton of that, there was also the first ever hero dying in the line of duty [Ferro Lad and Lightning Lad in classic Legion of Super Heroes comics], the introduction of dramatic soap opera elements and characterizations to comics book hero plots, [Spider-Man], really sexy characters [Power Girl, and tons of others], the first "Big" Cosmic story-lines and some truly psychedelic stuff too [Dr. Strange, Jack Kirby's Forth World, The Eternals, and so on].

    Although I am the leader of the modern age superhero group, the Blackwatch Defenders, I like how there is someone who has got a Silver-Age supergroup running around in game. Perhaps maybe the two groups can meet up and form an alliance of sorts ^_^. Anyhow, I'm gonna give you guys a friendly bump.

    First off, thanks for the compliment. We try to stay respectful and fun with everyone we encounter within the group or outside the group. As for us getting together, yeah I am looking forward to it. It would be pretty cool if the Silver Age Sentinels and the Blackwatch Defenders had a friendly alliance. I have you on my friend list so just hit me up with a in game mail if you would like to know a bit more about my group.

    Also

    Friendly bump for the SAS ^_^

    Last nights party celebrating the one year anniversary of our allies in the Silver Guard went great, and a collection of Young Sentinels stayed around to keep the party going until the very end. We had a great time, and so I'd like to give a thank you to all of the Silver Age Sentinels and GLOBE Coalition allies.


    Also, the Celebration of the GLOBE /Silver Age Sentinels alliance will be held on Friday, Sept. 3rd at 6 PM server time, all friends and allies are welcome to join us! Prospective new members, please come by as well!

    Hello,

    I'm new to CO and I've been looking for a SG to join and came across your post. I'm looking for something different in an MMO and so I figured RP'ing would be fun. Since you advertise "RP casual" type environment I think it'd be a good fit for what I'm looking for (I have almost zero RP experience). I'm also looking for a SG that wouldn't be bothered too much from my alt-itis that I seem to get in every MMORPG. I have four toons right now.

    Cheers,

    Hi Rune it is I the mighty Badger! Constant forum lurker and quick quiper. I've never online RP'd I've played a few MMO's and always just RP'd in my head. I RP in real life D&D, Star wars, yada yada yada. I've wanted to give it a shot on champs but most groups have brutal rules and schedules and what not. I however, have a job, a dog, a house, a mother in-law, and a pregnant wife about to explode. Needless to say my time is stretched a bit thin. So I was wondering...ummm, ahhh...ummmm...Can I play with you guys I'll be quiet and won't get in the way I promise.
