Department of Emergency: Limit Tested Agents
Department of Emergency was a department of PRIMUS. They act as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for supernatural or catastrophic disaster. The Limit Tested Agents represent those who can handle ANYthing. They are pushed mentally, emotionally, and physically to and BEYOND what has ever been deemed possible. DELTA are often first response to emerging calamity, and also "clean up" crew dealing with the aftermath of dynamic super-heroics ranging from psychological response to engineering and construction.
Because they are literally the best in their field DELTA are now on permanent assignment to UNTIL as official liason of the United States Peacekeeping and Relief Effort.

Mentiac's Notes:
I have this idea for a team. Membership is maxed out at 8 and I'll tell you why. I want a group of dedicated heroes willing to really test the outer limit of their unique abilities. My prodigy, Agent Kontrol, is perhaps the smartest woman on the planet. I want her to enlist a team of our mightiest heroes. Below is a short dossier of who I reccommend for the squad.
DELTA is a squad of the best:
The Smartest Hero in CO - 685 INT
Character: Kontrol@Jaybezz
Mind Control
The Fastest Hero in CO - 680 DEX
Character: Speed@Rev668
Speed
The Strongest Hero in CO - 652 STR
Character: Sphinx@apygoos
Lion Manimal
The Toughest Hero in CO - 617 CON
Character: Cliff-Side@CBV

((Well the purpose of being an Endgame SG is that we will EVENTUALLY be the absolute best.. but if you want to test your metal against a DELTA member hit us up. We are Limit Tested Agents for a reason.. we have some AWESOME builds (END and CON both surprised me), and though we are not a PvP team, we call ourselves the best for a reason.
Opening membership up has come up recently and the answer has been we just want 8 members so that we don't fight over Mods/Gear found in the endgame missions. Many of the builds you see above are just getting started on their endgame experience and I dont want to take away from the awesome story we've got going.
PRE and REC are still completely open until players claims them. The only factors that will remove a player from their DELTA status is a lack of playtime with the rest of the SG. We're a dedicated group.. being AWOL will get you terminated.))
How are you getting 500 foot knockbacks with 563 STR?
I have 607 STR and Roomsweeper hits for just over 500 feet.

im not sure, to be honest, dunno how crytpic does their math for that stuff but my roomsweeper is 501 feet, uppercut on fullcharge is 114 feet, do not ahve haymaker as massacre is more in character for Sphinx
Yeah, it probably has something to do with diminishing returns maybe...unless you have a +50% knockback gear slotted somewhere. I get 509 feet with roomsweeper.

As a Member of Delta you can miss up to 4 Scheduled mission times (M-W 6PM-9PM Server) before being considered AWOL. Also just because you're going to be gone does not count as AWOL if you let people know before-hand. Once your status is marked as AWOL (membership level) you are eligible for replacement.
Figure I'll let you guys know beforehand.

We found that Invulnerable Power Armor Builds work REALLY WELL with END single stating. Anyone care to try it out?

Took this rookie out on patrol last night in Vibora City and ran into some clowns who thought they were speedsters and wanted to race me. Me! The fastest dude alive! So after reaching the finish line and downing three pieces of piazza they finally come strolling and get all angry that they lost so spectacularly and decide they wanna fight. I'm like "aw man, I got this rookie here watching my back....great.." then before I could really get a hit on either of them Cav smashed them both with his brain! Again, me, the fastest dude alive, and I barely got a hit before he had those guys running.....priceless. So after seeing him in action gotta say, nice addition.
Psychiatric Evaluation:
I took Agent Cavalier on our first tour of UNITY Hotspots. Agent excels in ranged combat and completing mission objectives with minimal threat to self or team. Shows high levels of n Ach behaviors, perhaps signs of being least experienced squad member. Overcompensation for stimulus from nociceptive pain trends seems to boost power levels exponentially. Adding to the record - note assessors worry that agent will hide personal cost of trauma will lead to latent negative effects in the unconscious psyche.
Agent shows extreme knowledge and information on the Qu'laar. Though his file shows only brief tenure in Project Stargazer, he managed to soak up many subtle nuances in hive mind behavior that escaped even my intellect. Subject is seemingly proficient in a leadership role when the subject is familiar, however Agent Cavalier also showed impressive, uncharacteristic restraint when not in lead role. Superego is well aligned to heroism. Subject passed confidence testing[ ------------------------------------REDACTED FROM RECORD------------------------------------].
Project Mind Game Stronghold Report:
Agents Speed, Cavalier, Sarge and myself responded to the immanent threat of Menton's control of Stonghold. Sarge, having use of no psychic defense techniques recused himself from the mission for the other agents safety. I used a remote psychic link to look at the situation inside. Strongholds power inhibitors are seemingly malfunctioning, allowing massive prisoner breakouts on all levels. Agent Maronni briefed us with the situation outside.
Upon reaching 0.5 Kilometer proximity Menton's influence showed impressive levels. Agent Maronni and I were able to protect the squad from external influence. Agent Speed's action potential protected his synapse from direct control. On recognizance to find a VIPER Synaptic Expirator Agent Speed somehow became susceptible to outside influence's cognitive behavior modification. It is quite possible that in his brief time away Speed consumed . Upon recognizing his influenced behavior Agent Cavalier and Myself upped our mental defenses against Menton's coming attack. Agent Speed however was faster than the speed of thought, defeating Agent Cavalier before I could reestablish behavior normalcy.
Agents Speed and Cavalier show signs of egoistic narcissism, however I believe the fallout from the internal scrimage will be negligible as Agent Cavalier seemingly understood the situation of Menton's control. The two personality types are very potentially volatile. I have taken preemptive steps by stimulating their hypothalamus to relative homeostasis.
Director Kaufman, then authorized PRIMUS air strikes on the Stronghold Compound. Extensive trauma expected for both inmates and personnel. It is to be noted that Sidn.. Grond attacked unprovoked. It is unsure if DELTA was the target of these attacks. Research from Dr. Dupree shows promising results for mental rehabilitation for the grondling effect and Project Greenskin will soon be able to .
Mission objective changed after Air Strikes upon Stronhold seemed to passify the prisoners not experiencing extreme control from Menton. Agent Cavalier led in a.. complicated mission near Area 51. I differ my notes to his Project Stargazer Report.

So like if your on when I am and you need help I can don my DELTA costume and help
BTW I do like your costumes
Next week I have a feeling I might be up at ridiculous times in the morning or late night so I might be able to catch a glimpse of you guys as I have before hand.
My PRE is currently way too low to match you standards (346) and I fear not being able to match those standards without crippling myself in someway, as with AT's it can get quite odd to balance them out..

Maybe even bring some Darren's Piazza? Just saying...
Agent Kontrol requesting a full debriefing on our new DELTA medic. Agent "Glimmer" is unlike any I've encountered. Her knowledge of the star charts is increasingly interesting. My link even to GATEWAY station does not have information on some of the star systems she has very intimate knowledge of.
Perhaps more curious, it would seem that tales of her Xarnathian race are so similar to fables I heard as a child.. old tales in Vibora, the same that pre-dated the rise of the Vampires and Lychans also told of "the Fae". Faeries have been hinted at before but never have I seen someone so similar. Trader Jack himself planted rumor of his own faerie heritage. Glimmer's power to manipulate light and her unnatural beauty seem to fit so many of the old fables. But if knowledge of her race pre-dates Princess Allorah's arrival. If there is an official delegation in play it shows sign of malevolent intentions, the princess shows no signs of knowledge of an official delegation so any Xarnathian's found on Earth may have come on their own accord.
I noted the similarities in her abilities and the Nephilim, but they are so different in appearance it seems unlikely of a relation. However with her ability to bend light itself I do not know for certain that she can not alter her visible form. She is by far the most beautiful humanoid I have seen. Her luminescence seems to provide an unnatural attraction and trust in her. Her cheery demeanor shows zero signs of mal-intent.
I am not recommending a full mind read or psychiatric evaluation at this time. The action, on a royal dignitary, could be seen as hostile and has more potential for harm. She has proven her worth as a DELTA, and I am willing to give a cautious blind trust in her nature. The knowledge and information she brings is invaluable. Keeping her as a DELTA is the safest course of action - whether she be friend or foe.

DELTA and Project Newton Prime member designate: Speed.
For the record I hate writing these things. Anyway, here it goes.
Agents Glimmer, Sarge, Cav, Cliff and myself were finishing up patrol of a few known hotspots for bad guy activites when our intel bands went crazy. Sarge and Cliff were called back to their respective Projects for some super secret missions.(I honestly think Sarge wasn't really called anywhere, I think he's just old and needed to go watch reruns of Matlock.) Anyway, Cav, Jem (I will be calling Glimmer by the name Jem from here on out as she looks just like the 80's cartoon rocker chick.) and myself went on to finish our partols.
Upon finishing our hot spot patrols, those of us left (Jem, Cav, and myself) returned to UNITY HQ to debrief when their danger alarms started going crazy too. Apparently a scout out in Canada had reported "The Tower has gone active." and since we were the only DELTA members active guess who had to check it out? So we get the intel and get told how very, very dangerous this mission is and then we get sent on our way.
Jem, Cav and I reach the Tower and yes it is very much active. The "perfect man"'s tower is all glowing and shiny and there's clones of him everywhere. Small clones with guns, huge super strong clones, and zombie like clones that tried to control you mentally and made glowie worm like thingies come out of the ground and attack you. (Ask Trol...er Agent Kontrol for clarification as to what "glowie worm like thingies" are.) He also had wierd dogs, dinosaurs, and at one point we were even attacked by a near invincible test dummy.
Huge pipes funneled fluid throughout the entire complex later to be revealed as Teleios's dna. (Not his man juice, by the way, thank sweet muppety odin for that as i busted as many pipes as I could, ran all around in it and even got some in Cav's hair. Also made inappropriate jokes about Cav's now "Something about Mary" hair.) We made our way up the tower busting pipes and turning off power stations on each level.
Jem, Cav and I reached the top floor and there he was. The perfect man, Teleios, up on a platform. I got bored about three seconds into his typical big bad rant and started looking around and that's when I saw it. A really, really, REALLY, huge brain. Right in the middle of the floor and the pipes were all around it.
Trying to keep this long story from getting any longer, we had to beat up the huge brain which was gross and spongy and did not like my mocking (yet witty) banter as it started shooting lightning at us. ( Maybe ask Agent Cav if it was a Sith lord.) Anyway, while beating up the Big Brain we didn't notice Teleios escaping. Just too much coming at us for three agents to breach his tower and take him out.
All and all I consider this a win. Though we didn't get Teleios we did shut down his entire operation, chased him out of Canada, coexisted as a team, and showed that even just three DELTA agents are nothing to mess with.
Time for piazza and beer....and a pretty lady.

First of all I would like to say I am really very happy today and pleased to be here! DELTA has been a great team and have quickly become my Earth family. All members are so exceptional in their skill sets I cannot imagine working with a better team. To this day I have yet to find an adversary we cannot defeat. Would it be prideful of me to say we are becoming Earths Best of the Best?
Not to say we have not had our share of challenges. (oooh how I do not like that Gravitar!) And I am particualrly fascinated by the alien race known ad the Gadroon. Who are they and what is their purpose here on Earth. I have dealt with them before on my own home planet of Xaranthia and have found them to be nothing more of a nuisance as they are not very intellegent and easliy defeated. Agent Kontrol and I have found that they do not work on thier own accord but that they seem to serve some "Queen". This "Queen" does not seem to be of the same species as the Gadroon. Who is she?
On a side note: who is this 'Jem' person that agent Speed keeps refering to? I will have to do some research into human historical documents to satiate my curiosity.
Thank You and have a WONDERFUL day! - DELTA Agent Glimmer
It is clear to me that if you want to PvP with a Technology character single stat INT is the way to go. Using Quarry I have the INT up to 766 in combat. This leads to a 65% penetration buff using INT sepecialization.. also cooldown on actives is massively reduced and you can double up on all of your self buffs like BCR and Evasive Maneuvers because they are allowed to stack.. (That's 48% dodge just from R3 Evasive Maneuvers alone).
But the penetration is key.. I was able to use it with Storm of Arrows, Assault Rifle, and even Lead Tempest to amazing results. Concentration + INT/Quarry meant that simply casting range attacks gave my toon a full bar of NRG. I was able to take out many of the previously hard to kill Invul Dodge characters using low, continous DPS to melt them down.. this was me doing it without using teleport/stealth/hiding around. Sniping things with sniper rifle or focus shot was also incredibly effective as a tank killer.
It's worth mentioning that should you want it I got the stun time up to 10 seconds as well.. while players can use active defenses while stunned, it's generally enough time to turn of any self healing buffs they have. It's a great way to keep opponents on the defensive using an offensive passive.
With Glimmer's SS PRE Aura of Primal Majesty I am able to get 100% hold strength and even higher penetration. Match this with the Penetration Gear from the Hero Games vendor and you have a nearly unstoppable munitions/archery character.
More results when I have them..

Busy day in the city, team was patrol when we got word Jack Fool had taken the Mayor hostage. Agents Sarge, Speed, Glimmer, D.A.W.N and myself responded. Got on scene and saw Jack Fool had a bunch of minions with him, so we made a quick plan, Sarge took the left side, Speed took the right side, D.A.W.N flew air support and Glimmer got the Mayor and the other hostages. As for me, I took on Jack Fool himself.
We had a good old sword fight, his demon blade vs my psi-blades. All his demon powers and blood magic didn't help him, I'm 20 times the swordsmen he is. After I disarmed him he tried to come at me with his claws only to get hit from five different dircetions as everyone else had finished up with the minions and getting the civillians to safety. Speed worked on his kidneys, Sarge hit him in the knee caps, D.A.W.N with a big old lazer blast to the chest, Glimmer with a light blast to his eyes, and I hit him with both my pis-blades in the gut. He dropped like a ton of bricks.
We load up Jack into a paddy wagon to take him down to the Strong Hold for a hot sleep. Unfortunately he escaped in route. Doesn't matter he shows his face again Delta will take him down.

Project Stargazer:
DELTA received a distress call from Major Jason Larke of Project Stargazer. It appears the Qularr had begun to build new force field generators. The same generators were used in their invasion of Earth to keep heroes out. DELTA sent Agent Cavalier on a Stealth reconnaissance mission and his report revealed that the Qularr's plans had progressed much further than what we'd thought possible. We had only 5 minutes to shut down 5 generators in hostile territory.
The Qulaar hid the generators underground on the beaches of the Wayfarer coast. Agent Cliff-Side used his tectonics to get our DELTA agents in. Myself I ran as fast as I could to manually shut-down the generators. The hive queen's control of the thousands of drones kept my influence low so I had to work fast. Without Agent Glimmer there to translate the Qularr controls I used my technological skill to shut the generators down the fastest way I knew how.. Smashing the Hardware! The damage I performed is not irreparable but until Stargazer can form a full assault on the Qularr on Wayfarer coast it should hold off their generators.
With the generators disabled we then could then stop their biologists that were creating a zoo out of the many organisms found on Monster Island. Handily defeating their zoologist, we had saved even a human civilian. I personally walked him to safety and
The operation took fewer than 5 DELTA agents and could very well have changed the tide of the Qularr threat.

I don't want to live in that campaign.. tabletop nor online.
There is a virtual world living in a server. That world has rules just like ours does.. physics, mechanics, etc. If you intend to exist inside that world, you will follow that worlds rules.. no matter how much dissolution you allow yourself.
Good luck with that. You seem to misunderstand how a RPG works. The value is not arbitrary, they are given in an even way to the players who invest them in traits.
You seem to advocate that your traits don't need to match your concept... Good luck with that.
Please follow your own advice.
