Hmmm so the DBZ route of healing light? Okay but powers are not instant/free move and someone competent with sniper rifle or uses a bazooka to get you out of cover will wreck you. And to everyone:

There will be leveling up points. Max is 5 points. Get a 1 even if done nothing. Helping get mission done is 3. 4 and 5 are for rewards by playing your character, like a real character and making it entertaining.


Also thinking of where to start.


Anyway decided to start this thing off.  Away we go! ( Keep in mind, fictional WW2. So there will be conflicts and operations/missions that did not happen in our history.)


- Paris Island, South Carolina, USA. 1940.


At the marine training island there were a convoy of trucks. Heading to main base. Along the way the drivers talked about their cargo as the day was wet with rain. “ Can you believe this Fubar!? The Krauts are smashing Europe, Japan thinks it is big time and our government is investing in these, these people!”

“ People Yeah, But Marty. These people seem to be exceptional and could be of great use should we get the call.”

“ Whatever Brown, the truth is the war has started in the Western Hemisphere, hush hush but we need them?! Yeah only reason that crazy Australian bastard is calm is the booze. Heard he blew up three of the good guys when he was “hired.” And that little girl gives me the creeps.”


Everything stops. Afterwards the truck doors open as the Marines escort the new blood out, them being you guys. Lead on into a building in which a man with a very nice suit was there. Brown sun kissed flesh, ocean blue eyes, built tall and broad as he looks them over.

“ About bloody time. Kidd  and Levin are having a field day. So then care to get started?!”

Claps his hands to gain more focus as he spoke up.

“ As of now you no longer exist to the outside world. You are with us now. We are a joint team of paranormal fighting unit that dates back to Ancient Rome. We are Black Book and we call the shots. You people will be working with us and sent around the world to silence hostile paranormals. We are mobilizing again because we fear certain things may or already have fallen into the hands of the enemy. So you must stop them dead in their tracks. Right now, what matters is you getting to know each other. Also work as a team. One can only live on your own power for so long.”


Makes a smile that is so white it shines. “ So, get to introductions. I am Brian Rosetira, current head of the Rosetira family and owner of Black Book.”

Cue two more men coming in. One man was blonde, white, green eyes, 5’ 6 and broad build. “ I cannot work with this heathen sack of scientific shat anymore! When will we be killing things?”

“ Oh I agree, cannot wait to be out of here, doing field research.” The last Man was tall and thin. Extremely so like a man made of sturdy branches. He was Freakken pale with red eyes and white hair in a dark uniform. He was the tallest at 7’1.

Brian speaks more. “ This tall Scholar is Levin, the man in white is Davey Kidd. The other agent, Danny O Hare is currently in the field. You may even get to meet him. That aside, we wil be doing training, boot camp, Weapons and seeing what makes you special. Note that just because you cannot do anything special, does not mean your limited. A man with a knife can gut a wizard by not believing the wizards bullshit. Keep that in mind.”

Hand gestures and exits the stage. Along with the two other note worthy npcs.

Just Marines now as a typical Sarge McNasty shows up.

“ How many have you killed!? Because it takes a hard heart to kill. We wil try to beat weakness outbof you, if that has bedennpurged then we will reshape younto do it at a better pace. Now then!”

Cue barracks. Not bothering the buzz cuts. They were to be trained, just not official army. Still, getting weapons training and work outs.

( Build your relationships my pretties and no worries, actions will happen)


Edit: Phantom Brigade is a Unit in Black Book org. There are four. Just a heads up.

I say we use storm magic with albaest to make magicpunk rail guns. To shoot st air targets.

B? Try to find a flank, though given situation nothing is good, and cannot risk bullets, especially as you maybe hitting your own Tripp’s, or local wild life.

Err T Levin can make his own shit up given the fact he had a idea of the resurrection with Fallas tools. He can always make his own shit up ( which he plans to do. In the New World.)

1:A
2: B and C


Plot post

As the he sailing off to North America, Levin gets talked by thevother prisoners, given his reputation and everything.

“ Gentlemen, we all have sinned and have blood in our hands. Back home we were scum, now we are off to a new land. If we play all our cards right, we can be heroes. We could wash the stains of Failure and make a difference.”

He notes to himself no more human experiments, unless he himself is the subject.

Name: Bob
Age: 20
Nationality: American

Bob is just an ordinary army grunt. He was put in the squad by mistake and now he's seen too much and can't leave.

Stats:
Strength: 5
Speed: 6
Constitution: 6
Wits: 6
Will: 7
Intelligence: 5
Perception: 5
Power: 0

(Is this type of character okay? Or does it not fit in the canon?)

Works out fine for me. You can be “ Rambo” as in a highly trained killing machine armed to the teeth.

You gaining stats can mean you become a shredded mofo, not exactly super natural, but better than a normal grunt, in time.

Edit: Whoops.

I'm a little confused as to what "automatic safe success" means, by the way.

Basically since stat limit is 30.  It means auto success if 4 based on objective.

Rolls are divided up and the amount of successes add up. Though that depends on situation.

Someone with 8 in Strength hits a Nazi shoulder cia Punch.

Auto success and roll of six. Success + 4. Basically due to success, knocked the target down and wounded. It alive.


Now if Strength was 30 and connect with target, it looks like something out of Fist of the North Star ( Hyper bloody violence as poor bastard explodes in blood and meat fibs.)

Power stat is either to amp trick or get more tricks/improve trick every five levels.

So in Tria case with 8, two tricks, two tricks only, psi translator ( otherwise nuls how people understand.) while second trick should be nightmare monsters. ( though Mental Constructs, enchanted stuff and other supernatural stuff is just fine. Also ifba names enemy has high enough will, ignoring the damage.)
