IC - Who are the Sentinel Squadron?
They are a specialized team of superheroes and non-powered superheroes who have come and banded together to serve as a "crisis shield" to keep humanity safe from any threats. They're the enforcers of justice and the guardians of the innocent. They are the
Sentinel Squadron.
The Sentinel Squadron respond to threats throughout the United States, with a focus on key areas of high intense conflict (Millennium City, the Southwest Desert and Vibora Bay). At times, the team also venture out internationally and overseas when they are needed. The Sentinel Squadron are also tied close yet loosely with UNTIL, serving as their "unofficial version of UNITY".
The heroes in the group display a wide range of superhuman and non-superhuman talents and skills, in addition; many of the members come from diverse backgrounds.
Led by the supernatural superheroine known as Adversary, the Sentinel Squadron are a dynamic force of good and as paragons of what protectors and guardians should be, they're something that the world truly needs.
OOC About the Sentinel Squadron and the Theme
The Sentinel Squadron is a Medium-Heavy role-playing supergroup with a theme and concept that is inspired by the both the Avengers (regular modern age mainstream version) and the JLA. They are a group of Modern Age (and some Silver and Bronze Age) superheroes who come together and protect humanity from any threat using any means necessary but without crossing the line (killing the villains) and endangering the lives of those they have sworn to protect. The complete story about the Sentinel Squadron is posted up on our website.

Our main goal for us to focus on providing an immersive and fun experience with Champions Online with role-playing and the content that the game provides us. We hold SG-wide story-arcs and events for our members to take part in and we also run RP-related NemCons, Cosmic Villain Fights, and much more.
OOC --Time Zone
The group operates mostly in any of the time zones here in the United States and Canada for anyone who is wondering. It would be best if others who are interested are within one of the time zones themselves although we still will accept you if you didnt.
Doesn't matter to us if you're a lifetime account player, Gold-account player, or a Free-to-Play Silver Account Player. The only things that matter to us is if you're a good RPer and a fun player.If you are interested in joining the Sentinel Squadron, please stop by the application area of our website and leave us an application. If we like what we see, we'll definitely get back to you as soon as we can.

To help gain the diverse assortment of members, we're looking for members who can fit into one or two of these categories. Keep in mind, the regular archetype superhero is also always welcomed.
I believe that when it comes to a modern age style supergroup, diversity is the best way to go. Look at how the Justice League and the Avengers are. That is something we here aim to have within the Sentinel Squadron. Diversity is always good for any supergroup and to help gain the diverse assortment of members In Character, we're looking for members who can fit into one or two of these categories. Keep in mind, the regular archetype superhero is also always welcomed.
Scientist/Inventors: Every superhero group needs a few brainiacs around to assist. Whether its creating gadgets (Hank Pym, Reed Richards, Beast, Will Magnus, etc.), or wearing advanced suits of power armor (Hardware, Iron Man, many others), they often possess the intellect and tools to help fellow heroes save the day or do it themselves. We got room for you here if you fit this category.
Mystics: Now what would a supergroup be without a few sorcerers or sorceresses? In most comics, every good superhero group has them. Those who can fight evil with the forces of the supernatural and arcane are needed. You can be a mage of the traditional kind (think Doctor Fate, Doctor Strange, Raven, Zatanna, etc.), a shaman or shamaness (like Shaman), a healer, a necromancer, an avatar for a great spirit/entity (no Cthulu, please), an enchanted golem/homoculi or just a modern Chaos Mage. We got room for you here if you fit this category.
Regular Modern Day Superheroes: Need I say more . Maybe you aren't some highly intellect scientist or some established legend among superheroes. Maybe you're just a superhero setting out to make a name for him or herself and become the next legend. If so, then the Sentinel Squadron is for you.
Old Schoolers: The Old Schoolers can be divided into two groups but they have the same purpose: There are those whom were heroes in their day and have recently returned back to their calling to help out the modern heroes of today (think the Justice Society of America). Then you have those who have been misplaced in time and find themselves willing to help the modern generation of heroes despite struggling to find themselves in a new world of sorts. Pulp Comic style heroes can also fall into this category as well for those who have them. We got room for you here if you fit this category.
Aliens: With most supergroups in comics, there is always a few aliens who come to help the people of Earth and align themselves with some of the world's greatest heroes. Martian Manhunter, Starfire, and Captain Marvel are proof of this. It would be cool if there the Sentinel Squadron had more aliens in it. I'm a strong believe that you cannot have a supergroup without an alien or more in it . We got room for you here if you fit this category.
Self Aware Androids/Cyborgs: Most comic book groups have their members who are either a self aware Android/Robot (like Vision, Red Tornado, Atomic Robo, Hourman, etc.) or are human (or was) with some cybernetic enhancements to them (like Midnighter, Cyborg and DC's current OMAC character). While the self aware android characters sought to understand humanity or just to help aid it, the cyborg characters often struggled to hold on to their humanity or embraced their enhancements while saving the city or world with their newfound abilities.. We got room for you here if you fit this category.
Brawlers/Martial Artists: The heroes who are skilled in either the various ways of Martial Arts (like Iron Fist and Black Canary) or are deadly street fighters but know when to avoid crossing the line no hero should cross (like Luke Cage ). Heroes who are gifted, highly trained and fearless martial artists or hand to hand combatants are highly welcome.
Elementals: Going into a fight against evil is one thing. Going into a fight against evil while wielding the powers of either fire, electricity, ice, earth, wind and etc. is totally a big difference. Every team has them and SenSquad needs more of them. Whether being born with them (metahuman or mutant..whichever term you use) or gained them somehow later on, elementals are highly popular and here in the Sentinel Squadron, we welcome their presence.
Archers: Have some specialized arrows to help save the day like Green Arrow and Hawkeye? Well we got room for you here. ^_^
The Troubled Hero: Batman and Daredevil are the archetypes for this category. The hero/heroine who's had a traumatic experience which either happened to them or to someone that they cared for. Regarded as a urban legend or a ghost story within the criminal underworld, they are the ones who prey on the gangs and at times the supervillain community as well. Despite being more hard edge and more willing to dish out brutal justice, they have a conscience and will not take a life out of the fear that doing so will make them no different from the "monsters" that they protect the innocent from. We have room for these kind of heroes.
Heroes from the Sea: The hero that comes from the deep blue sea or has ties to one of the many underwater kingdoms known or unknown to the surface world (think Aquaman, Aspen Matthews, Namor the Submariner, Aqualad, etc.). We have room for you in the Sentinel Squadron for these kind of heroes.
The 'Monstrous' Heroes/Heroines: We all have seen these types of heroes around before. The heroes who are viewed by some within the general public as 'monsters' and 'freaks' because of their physical appearance and are at times misunderstood (think The Fantastic Four's The Thing and She-Thing aka Sharon Ventura, DC Comic's Frankenstein, and Hellboy for that matter), yet they're compelled to stand for what's right and protect the lives of others. We got room in the Senitnel Squadron for these kind of heroes.
If you have a toon which fits any of these categories and is willing to help out your fellow teammates, then congrads. Go ahead and send me or any of the Officer members an in-game message to me that's a brief summary about your toon and what they can do as well as a role they can provide. We'll definitely grab you for your IC/OOC interview.
As started in the one of the latter post in this thread, the Sentinel Squadron is in the process of seeking out fresh new players/characters to come join and be apart of our group. We highly welcome both Gold-account and Silver-account players.
What we're looking for:
All that is need is that you:
Why aren't we using our application process? Well, the Sentinel Squadron is undergoing a revitalization of our membership base. With the release of games like Skyrim and SWTOR, the group took a hit and lost a good number of members. Down but not dead, the officers and I are looking to bring in new members and revitalize the group. Coming up with ways to do that, we each came to the mutual understanding that having all new players apply with a written application might not be the best thing to have right now. So, we've decided to go back to how we use to handle our recruitment process for a limited period of time.
While no applications will be required during this "Open Door" recruitment period, all in-game interviews will be carried out more thorough than usual to definitely help us weed out and avoid bringing in any bad apples. All in-game interviews will be two fold: a thorough In Character interview as well as a Out Of Character interview. The interviews won't necessary be hard and intimidating, but they will be performed in a carefully precise manner to help us make sure we're accepting the right players/characters into our family. Just because we're not doing applications at this time, doesn't mean we'll gonna allow just anyone and their characters into the group.
Once again, the Sentinel Squadron will have limited time period of "Open Door" Recruitment. For all of you interested, please check our rules and message me in-game.

Yeah hehe those dolls are a hot collector's item. The one that talks and sounds like Roddy Piper is the more valuable one.
He isn't lying everyone. @Ngai (Ultimate) has been with us since February of 2010. He's one of our core members and quite the amazing RPer among an entire SG of amazing and fun RPers.

Is visiting your SG website often a requirement? For so many SGs/ guilds in MMOs it is and hoestly I dont have enough time
Sure thing. Feel free to drop us off an application for your character on our website and we'll get to you right away. The link to the site is in my signature.
Hope to have you with us
-Adversary89
No its not a requirement, its a tool to help keep people in the loop on whats going on in major Sen Squad story lines, another way to get to know players IC and OOC, and a way to help with Creative Energy if you choose to make a story.
I also lurk on the forums pretty often. And, believe me, I'm totally worth it.
Thank you for your consideration.
Atra.
Thank you for your consideration and hope I get to come back.

We got the application for Omegaman and we love it. I've sent you a confirmation message as well as an invite to the Sentinel Squadron's IC officer/potential recruit chat channel so be on the lookout for any officers seeking out Omegaman on there or even just introduce yourself on there.
-Adversary89
Got it. I'll accept you back in.
Support the Sentinel Squadron, everyone.

Hope to have more with us in the near future.

Are you sure that wasn't the silver age sentinels?
Sounds very similar to my own character (Platinum Guardian) except mine is a Booster Gold/Captain Marvel cross lol.
Haha. I've been watching young justice and have been inspired to make an "angry" version of Superboy... and Booster Gold is one of my favourite DC characters, so the personalities kinda melded together.
Been running around in Brawler Mode whacking Viper henchemen around with my mits.
Yeah Brodiewan, I believe that was the Silver Age Sentinels you applied to (I looked at some of the posts on here.) Anyhow, just drop us off an application for your character and we'll review it to see if whether your character would be right for us or not. Also, the members of the Sentinel Squadron are mostly on in US/Canadian timezones so that may be an issue for you. I'm not sure but I just felt the need to bring that up to you.
-Adversary89
I'll apply later today.
Cool. Swing by our website and fill out an IC/OOC application for your character and you'll be hearing from us as soon as possible, @thejudge345.

I'm based in the UK so know the time difference could cause a problem
I am not a newbie to MMORPG games but I am to Champions-Online. I'm really looking for a mentor(s) in the game to get me on my feet. Then I could be benefical to the group once I know what I'm doing.
My character has the "Impulse" powers and is currently Level 7. My Character name is "Resistance".
If you want to know anything else please let me know.
Many thanks.
