[Light Role-play, 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.
This team has existed since old beta, I long kept the group an invitation-only, small and 'best kept secret' type of group, and I have decided that it is time to open the doors to welcome in more like-minded Role-players.
Please be aware that our recruitment process, short though it is, is primarily focused on players. Characters and role-playing take a backseat to finding great people for us.
What does a "light-roleplay, casual-friendly environment" mean?
By "light-roleplay" we mean to suggest that the Super group 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 Role-playing super groups, with lengthy recruitment and application processes, constant, back-to-back or continuing events, and more subplots going on at one time than anyone could ever keep up with.
We are about having a good time, and role-playing in character, but not to such a degree that someone might become lost if they don't keep up with current events, nor are we so large that you might feel lost in the crowd.
If you want a fun group of mature role-players 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 role-play 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, please click the link below and take a spin through the Information boxes on the front page which go into even more details of what we are about, both in and out of character.
Silverage.enjin.com
Light or casual role-players, looking for a home away from heavy angst, enjoy a small to medium team feel, read those info boxes, and then click the "Join this Guild" button to generate a few questions to answer that will go into your very own recruitment thread.
I or one of my officers will respond by attempting to schedule a good time to meet you in-game!

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. Intentionally contrasts to the more typical Avengers or Justice League style RP Super groups, we want them to have the center stage if they want it, while we gain respect and make a difference in the background at times.
GLOBE is a SHIELD like international agency with UNTIL and PRIMUS clearances, headed up and ran by Super heroes. Founded in Canada 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 our shared setting, this groups 'Aero-Carrier', The Artemis, serves as the HQ, transportation, communications and logistical needs of all the other groups as well. Our private chat channel is named for this faction.
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 is intended primarily to train young super humans in the proper use of their abilities. Kristina Pelvanen, formerly the super-heroine 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 trusted allies know about it. 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.
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.
About a year ago i stumbled on this SG by chance and thru their interactions became a gold member with 3 set nights a week just for the RP. Awesome SG, awesome leadership. Just all around great people to spend some time with.

Yes, we are! Holiday activity spikes up and down oddly, of course, but we have people on at most any time normally.

As always, great members makes for a great super group!
Welcome to the Sentinels, Elerond!
Welcome to the Sentinels!
I am a little bit older for rp games or multiplayer games or computer games at all :P
also I am not good at chatting or things like that ( to be honest I am not sure I can use the chat screen)
But I like to be a part of your team... @powercommand my name, ingame name is leggyshot
thx anyway
I'll add you to my in-game friends list, and keep an eye out for you.
Have you visited our website and applied there yet?
But this time round I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Just upgraded my account to gold and looking for a supergroup.
I like your post and wonder if you would consider me for entry to your group.
I would prefer an in game invite or conversation, as I have been led to very fancy looking websites before by guilds/groups/clans etc only to find it was perhaps set up in their 'glory' days or even just by someone who can build a great website.
The group isnt necessarily that active in game.
So since it will be in game where I meet/group with people I would rather see that there are in fact members online.
Sorry if I seem to be ranting, it's not my intention and hopefully you were just looking for a new Invincible tank and its both our lucky days.
Game handle: captain_stryfe
Character name: Guardian
Thank you
Hey, no worries from me, I know what you mean. We are quite active and many older members have recently returned so we're actually more active than ever!
I'll add you to my in-game friends list, accept a friend invitation from @Rune, but be aware we do require the online app to be entered on our website before a formal interview will take place.
Never hurts to run with us and see if you like our style first, though!
You'll see us all on Silver Age Sentinels, Young Sentinels, and Globe super group titles!
I'm completely new to the game and looking for a group to join. I've looked over your website and I like what I see. However, I'm a little confused about the guildportal application process. I see that other apps have been posted automatically, so I didn't want to just post on that forum...I think I'm missing something.
I've been roleplaying for many years, although I wouldn't consider myself hard-core about it. I used to play pen & paper games years and years ago (before the interweb), like D&D, Champions and Gamma World. Most (well, lets say all) my online rp has been within Ultima Online, which I've played on and off since 1999, both official servers and custom rp emulators.
I'm not real familiar with alot of the in-game communication optons at this point. I'm not even sure what my contact name is...I think its @solbrother...but I could be wrong. But that's my username, so I'm guessing thats it. I have one chr so far, named USApe. I don't know how critical it is to have a Silver Age type chr, but I could easily come up with something for my 2nd chr slot. I've been reading comics since before I started playing role playing games. Y'know, I think I still have that old Champions game with a bunch of old chr sheets in it. I may just dig thru those for some ideas.
So anyway, any amount of help would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Eric McK
Welcome aboard!
after reading here and on your Website i think you all would be really a good SG for me and my Heroes.
Not a fan of Applications but i will go threw it for this SG since i really love the Concept.
You can rach me under @Wildthing if needed.
Talk to you soon and Application will follow soon as well.
Regards
Great, I'll be looking for it, and adding your handle to me in-game friends list.
-Sincerely @clerniece
Replied on our forum, and /friended you in-game, please accept on your sOcial panel. Looking forward to meeting you!
I'd like to take a moment to welcome the following relatively new members of the Sentinels family of super groups.
@moxiedanger

@Vesta18

@queek
@Fabulist
As always the reason we have such an amazing guild is because of all of you, our outstanding members.
Sentinels, Strike!
I'd be interested to be part of your guild. I'm a light RP casual player so your guild sounds perfect.
I played City of Villains for a while and like it, and I was saddened by the closing of CoX.
My name is @nothingness641.
Then while logged into Guildportal [make yourself an account there if you don't already have one, it's free], at the top of the front page of our website, hit "Join this guild" to be given a short set of standard questions for our application.
The website spawns a thread for you which is marked public and so you can go to it in our forum as a visitor and post in it yourself, I and/or one of my officers will respond to you there or in-game.
My in game mail is @Darkmatter (I think) I'm on EST time but am on quite a bit and @ varying times.
Looking forward, and hoping to hear from you guys.
Hi!
Got your application on our site, and I added you to my in-game friends list. Just hit O for sOcial panel, and go to Friends tab. @Rune [that's me!] will be listed there for you near the top, as "Invitation received" you'll need to accept it or just type /friend @Rune into your chat line and hit enter.
Then we'll see one another online and be able to meet up easily to set a time for your interview.
Hit the link in my sig, you know you want to.
But you, too can be one of us, just ask yourself, "Do I want to join up with the finest lite Role-playing guild in Champions Online?"
If the answer is Yes, click the link in my sig!
Sounds fun~
Sure, hit our website at silverage.guildportal.com and read through our information boxes there, post an Application and add me, @Rune to you in-game friends list. :biggrin:
Come celebrate the Fifth Anniversary by joining up with the original Lite RP Super Group in Champions Online, the Silver Age Sentinels!*
*Or perhaps one of it's fine sub teams or allies, such as Globe, Young Sentinels, Ravenswood Academy, Golden Age Heroes, Young Golden Age Heroes, Blackwatch Defenders, Ultimate Guardians, Firewatch Initiative and the Eternals.
RIP Caine
Thanks, Taco. You're like, the coolest evil guy I know!
Required due to GUildportal closure.
I'm looking for a SG that accepts light RP where I can get and give assistance when people need it.
I've actually looked into this group a little bit, and most of what I've seen I like. But there is one thing I'm uncertain of, and that is whether or not my character would fit into the "culture", because he is, in effect, a hero with silver-age morals and an inferiority complex because he's not as powerful as he thinks he should be. I can't really place what comic book age he would fit into. He spends quite a bit of time unhappy or exhausted ("I must be a better hero!"), so he's not classic silver age. Then again, his superhero costume actually looks like a superhero costume, his nemesis is very silly conceptually, he would never fit into the excessive violence or over-the-top-ness of the 90s, and horrible things don't happen to him or the people he cares about.
Sounds like a fine fit to me. Put in an application at our guild site; Silverage.Enjin.Com
Although, I wouldn't call my character depressed; just very self-deprecating.
I'll try and get on after work Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
I'll be on the lookout for you!
