Attache

SG Name: The Sentinels (formerly the All-Star Sentinels of America from Virtue) RP/RP Friendly: We are an RP group Theme/Era: Golden and Silver Age in Theme but the era is today Redside/Blueside: Blueside (Only Heroes and Vigilantes need apply) Recruitment Message: No matter the threat or what we face, Sentinels Stand Together! It is a confusing time for our heroes. Some distinctly remember the universe unraveling seven years ago. Others do not. While we all carry memories of the last seven years, some of them feel false, fake. Was it just the Sentinels that fell apart or was the multiverse torn asunder? With global disasters and crime on the rise, some of the old guard are coming back together to safeguard the Earth and to seek the truth, no matter where it leads. We're old school style crashing into modern times and we need fresh blood to tackle new problems. Join us! A few OOC guidelines so applicants won't be blindsided: - All applicants will have a role-play interview with at least two (or more) Sentinels. These are almost always done at our base, the Sentinel Sanctuary. - All applicants must have a bio in place by the time of the interview. It can be in any format but there must be a bio. - Costumes are a subjective element on which opinions vary widely but we tend to lean towards classically style costumes that would fit best in the Golden and Silver Ages. Look to those eras for inspiration. Golden Age costumes often have a pulp feel, sometimes with co-opted "regular" clothing elements. The Silver Age was all sleek spandex and a space age feel. - Names are another subjective element on which reasonable people can disagree. One person's trash is another's treasure. We tend to love evocative names that speak to the eras we revere (names that have a bit of gee whiz pop to them) but also realize that names can go fast. Proper spelling and punctuation will be expected and we generally don't accept members who have missing or added punctuation or characters to facilitate getting the name they want (i.e. no Mr Name, Ms. Name-, Mr. Name', or xXxMs. NamexXx). There are still good names out there if you hunt for them. Made-up words that evoke the powers/abilities/characteristics of the hero can work great. The Venture Bros. has many examples of these kinds of names for inspiration. - When we like an applicant, we like 'em so we tend to be forgiving if some of the elements mentioned above aren't quite what we envision. That said, we are interested in tightening up the theme a little so keep it in mind! - We are, by design, meant to be a smaller SG. A 60 member max with a potential 5 characters for each player. As a smaller SG, we need an active player base. If you can only play once a week or once a month, we are probably not the SG for you. We need people who play more nights than not. @Attache is my global as well. Reach out to me or to our Prime Sentinel @ApeChild if you are interested! UPDATE: After a brief resurgence, the returning Sentinels slowly faded away. I was a fun reunion but if we make another go of it, it will be a different incarnation and under the original SG name. This SG has been disbanded.

Yes! I forgot to mention that Lightning Clap was the only one, initially, I'd planned to skip. Thanks!

@Attache before and @Attache again. Attache (my wannabe Statesman sidekick) was my first 50 on Pinnacle before I moved over to Virtue where I was mostly known as Liberta and Doctor Epoch and a couple dozen others. A handful of the All-Star Sentinels of America are back as well. The new SG name is The Sentinels. Find us!

Thanks for the thoughts! Appreciate them!

First, about me - I don't need to build for 100% maximum efficiency. I like to take the occasional second travel power or power(s) just for theme. But if I get on a PuG, I want to be able to hold my own. Is anything in the primary and secondary that is pretty underwhelming and skippable? Reading them, I kind of dig most of them but I would like to squeeze in 2 travel powers as well as the Fighting epics.

As someone who frequented and loved the Virtue Name Watch, this absolutely was not my experience either. I regularly grabbed names that I later released (and posted) when a concept didn't come together. In getting literally dozens of names from people over the years of the Watch, I never had one person solicit payment nor have I even heard of what you describe happening. People being people, I can well imagine that it did but I believe it was the exception, not the rule. One of the things I and others used to do was post long lists (sometimes themed) of names that we found available. I cannot even begin to say how nice it was to hear from people in messages or in-game thanking me for a name I dug up that worked perfect for an idea they had. It can get tough when I server has been around awhile and some folks just like single word names. I tend to be one of them. I still would find the occasional gem on Virtue even in 2012. It was fun finding cool names so late in the game.

Hey everyone! Our RP SG is back as The Sentinels on the Everlasting server and we are looking to reconnect with our old members. If you were ever a Sentinel, reach out here or to me in came. My name is also my global. We're looking to get as much of the old guard back first before we start actively recruiting so we're hoping to hear from you. Thanks!
