"Are you looking for a Themed, Lore Based, Super Group that's Unique and Challenges you?"
"Can you make a Great Character with ONLY a select group of powers to pick from?"
Then maybe, just maybe, you can be an Angel (That Rocks!)
Angels of Avalon
Angels of Avalon is an “All Female Character (Challenge Type) Super Group” There are limitations on Powers, Costumes, Builds, Temporary Powers, and Naming Structure. So it is definitely NOT for Everyone!
All Angel powers are based on Elemental, Limited Non-Tech Weapons, and Hand Combat.
As with all Challenge SGs (like an All Blaster SG) the Limits ARE what Challenge you. Angels of Avalon is based on the Legends of King Arthur and City of Heroes Lore. The Isle of Avalon (The Base) contains locations that link to the 7 Mystical Wonders of the World.
We play as an SG on Wednesdays at 8pm EST (7pm CST) on the Excelsior Server. But you can play anytime, of course. We only ask that you play your Angel at least once a month to stay Active. Our Base Code is AOA-32721 (Come on in, and check it out!)
(Be sure to read the signs on the Island’s paths so you don’t get lost)
Note: This Template may seem long, but it reads fast!

Naming Structure
Naming your Angel is easy. It involves using Angel as the 1st Name. The 2nd name is based on your primary or secondary power. If the power name is not available. You can use another language to make that Power’s name.
Example: Angel Fire can be renamed to Angel Ignis (Latin). Angel Ice can be renamed to Angel Kori (Japanese)
Member / SG Setup
The following Parameters are part of the SG’s Setup in order to keep things fair for all players:
1) There is only room for 15 of each type of AT for a total number of 150 characters.
2) There is a limit of two (2) Angels from one REAL Person. You cannot have 2 ATs of the same type.
3) Once the 15 limit for one AT Type has been met, that AT type will no longer be accepted in the SG.
4) There are 10 floors in our Angel Tower in the Base. Each floor has 15 pedestals for Angel Statues.
5) An Angel Statue represents a player with their power name placed on the base of the Statue.
And that's about it for our SG Template
We apologize for this lengthy SG Post. We just wanted to be clear on the SG parameters. It may seem like a lot, but it is basically about the Costumes, Lore, and Having Fun. (Yes, Fun!) For more info you can message either @Darkkeepr or @Ivory Kix
And Now, a Special Thanks to all the Commentators from our previous SG Post. Your Comments, Suggestions, and Critiques were read and some were applied. We did shorten the post (a little), and cleared up some misunderstandings, as well as try to be less verbose and long-winded. As you can see!
Oh, and this reminds me of another post I made back when…
Just Kidding!
