It was nearly half a century ago when the first supers started appearing. Nobody knows why. The construction industry is booming.

Until yesterday, the City of Megatownopolis, new capital of the USA, had all its reconstruction efforts sourced through Builders, Inc. As it turns out, the Builders, Inc. CEO was none other than the infamous supervillian, Steve Arkans. Builders, Inc. has been dissolved. Steve Arkans' whereabouts are unknown, but with his assets literally frozen, the day is saved.

Now the City of Megatownopolis really needs new construction companies. Help!

CEO Name:
Corporation Name:

History: (Optional)

Interesting company details: (Do you hire illegal immigrants at below minimum wage to shoddily yet quickly build things? Do you have contacts with Incredibuilder? These should reflect your stats where possible.)

Stats: (Increase stats by reducing others. Stats below 2 suffer a penalty. 0 is the minimum.)
 Funds: 6
 Reputation 0
 Leadership: 0
 Tools: 0
 Work Quality: 0
 Work Speed: 0
 Criminality: 0

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

Funds: Starting money. Very useful for budgeting mishaps, hiring more work crews, or paying workers if you have trouble finding work contracts. Cannot start at 0.

Reputation*: Affects likelihood of winning contracts, but increases penalties for failure. Used for interacting with heroes, especially buying heroic super-tech.

Leadership: Affects CEO's ability to train, manage, or inspire work crews.

Tools: Affects whether you're digging ditches with shovels or super-tech vehicles. Somewhat increases worker costs.

Work Quality: Institutional training experience for how well work crews work. Important for structures that need to survive a hit from Mega Guy's trademarked move, Villain Toss.

Work Speed:  Institutional training experience for how fast work crews work. Important for keeping on top of work in a city with daily super fights.

Criminality*: Contacts with the villain underworld, and skill at carrying out or hiding shady dealings. Can be used to buy super-tech.

Note that reputation and criminality are somewhat opposed, and will be harder to increase the further behind they are from the other.

Rolls are on a D10. 1 is villainous failure, 4 is a bare success, 9 is heroic success, 10 is overshot, >10 are various levels of heroic overshots.

The first 6 get in.

Suggestions for heroes, villains, plots, crimes, or battles are encouraged. They need not be balanced.

We here at Deman INC are a new Corporation without the Funds nor Reputation of others, But we make up for that with better Leader ship and the Ability to LITERALLY undercut our Competitors.

Sorry, I made this game impulsively, without thinking it through. With such high stats, there is little incentive to start with a negative, which is kinda boring.

Starting stats have been heavily nerfed, please redo them. I'll make them a bit easier to increase in-game to compensate.

Reputation and Criminality are now somewhat opposed, and will be harder to increase the further behind they are from the other.

Are former heroes allowed? Considering crazyabe's sheet is apparently fine, I should hope so.

Anyway, I think I can really get into this one and rp properly if needed. Will have to wait and see though.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

CEO Name: Graham Gilliam
Corporation Name: Headstrong LLC

History: Having gotten rather sick of the actions of his former compatriots, Graham recently retired to form a construction business. He hopes to hold the heroes and villains alike financially responsible for the damage they do, and enrich the lives of the people he swore to protect by making the city safer to live in.

In a publicity move to boost the new company's rep, he made his status public by taking off his mask when he announced the company through his hero identity of ShieldBearer.

Interesting company details: The founder has the superpower to make fairly durable translucent barriers, and has retired from the heroing business to "get a real job" as his father always pestered him to. Seeing an opening, he decided to go to work repairing the damage that his more reckless allies tend to do. Protecting whole buildings permanently with his power will require use of advanced technology however, and he didn't exactly make heaps of cash as a hero. Still, he has high hopes that he'll be able to one day protect every building in the city with a specially designed shield generator.

Building strong buildings? Pshaww. You guys gotta be creative.

Spoiler: Offensive Defenses (click to show/hide)

CEO Name: Alex "Preemptive" Tann
Corporation Name: Offensive Defenses Incorporated

History: After successfully shooting IcicleMan's, rest in peace, icicle heading towards him with a nerf gun, Alex "Preemptive" Tann decided to quit his job as a lowly engineer to form his own company! Good thing too, since his company's building was spontaneously demolished a day after he quit by yet another super hero being knocked into buildings by another. If you asked him about this, Alex would solemnly say "I could have gotten that one too" while brandishing his nerf rifle.

Interesting company details: Offensive Defenses Inc. believes in the use of pre-emptive measures to prevent damage to the buildings. Sure, your competitor may have fancy "titanium shutters" but do they have point defense? At least, Alex "Preemptive" Tann is really excited and motivated about this. Though he's not too sure on the whole "getting it done" part. But he's excited.

Interesting company details: A startup company that utilizes surplus damaged base building equipment from bungled alien invasions bought for low, low prices at Crazy Bradford's gray market auctions!
