Seraphim

  Seraphim is an anonymously funded group of international heroes that work in designated sections or sectors of the world. Welcome to Seraphim's "North American" branch. Seraphim is a fully operational group of professional heroes. Members of Seraphim are compensated, as well as supplied with housing, food and the highest technology and medical assistance known to man or metahuman alike. Members of Seraphim are professional heroes, who know the risks and are willing to make it their lively hood, every day to be a beacon of light to our world. Seraphim participates in government contracting and volunteers their time to assist with even the most dangerous operations.

 Seraphim is a donation-only organization, meaning that they do not require to be paid in order to do what is right. They are heroes, plain and simple. Their payment is primarily sponsored by an anonymous donor, or a series of donors that also assists with finding and getting the group work to accomplish (mission, quests, etc.) and supplements whatever donations don't cover. Essentially, the organization is well taken care of and doesn't need to worry about funding, however they do not believe in charging people to be heroes.

 The organization of Seraphim embodies the ideals that there are forces of good in the world, and while fighting is not ideal, they aren't afraid to fight to protect anything and everything that is good, honest and overall the "Heroic" thing to do. Currently Seraphim has 8 scattered locations and complexes, though (for the sake of RP) the only two bases are The Seraphim HQ located in L.A and a secondary branch in Chicago.

 Seraphim follows a system of "Identity protection" where they are not required to share their identity but are, however, required to select or create an angel name for themselves. This angel name is the name they are likely most commonly referred to or addressed as by the other members of the group. Seraphim's "Chain of command" is broken down into three parts. The first part are the "associates" or the new recruits that are on their probation period, just to make sure they don't burn any cops and still try to claim they are heroes. While they have access to Seraphim base, they are not actually a member of the group. The second group are called "The Angels". These are loyal members that have passed their probation period and are full fledged members of Seraphim, they have full access to every base, transfers and various technology available to members only. The final group are called "The Archangels" This is a group of people who make all of the decision involving the group, these members are the most skilled and are selected by a vote of the Angels. There are generally 7 Archangels at maximum.

Additional Information:
 Seraphim extends the offer for tracking devices, vital-monitoring, bio-robotic additions and a series of high tech implants and upgrades. As always they do not insist, nor require any of these things.

 The application process is simple, just answer the following questions.

Please provide a link to your character's sheet!

"First and most importantly, we have to ask you... What does it mean to be a hero?"
(Please provide an IC response for this question)

"Okay. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about yourself. No need to go any more personal than you'd like; But I'd like to know. Why did you choose to become a hero?"
(Please provide an IC answer)

"Seraphim provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to be called a Hero. Would you be willing to undergo a period of probation so that we may evaluate you?"
(Please provide both IC and OOC responses for this question)

"Seraphim pays us, gives us a home, a family. We're heroes, and we're all in this together. When you join into our organization you take on a new name. Nothing you need to use in public, but something that we can identify you with as a fellow member. What angelic name would you like to be known as?"
(Please provide IC response OR OOC response.)

"There's been a lot of scrutiny over metahumans, heroes and villains alike. I want you to tell me how you feel about killing "the bad guy". When is it okay to kill someone? When is it okay to let the bad guys die?"
(Please provide IC response)

"Now for the final question. We have a villain, and they are going to try and unleash a doomsday device on the world. He's holding the world ransom and he has an entire city hostage... New York. If you stop him, the city goes down in flames. If we do nothing, he rules the world. What would you do?"
(Please provide IC response)

"First and most importantly, we have to ask you... What does it mean to be a hero?"
”To help people no matter the danger presented to yourself, heroes save people and shouldn't really expect anything in return for doing it. Its sort of a thankless job but someones gotta do it.”

"Okay. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about yourself. No need to go any more personal than you'd like; But I'd like to know. Why did you choose to become a hero?"
”It's my moral obligation I guess. I can't just stand by while bad things happen around me, it's not right I guess.”

"Seraphim provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to be called a Hero. Would you be willing to undergo a period of probation so that we may evaluate you?"
”If thats what needs to happen, i'd go through it.”
(I would personally not want him to go through it but if its required, I have no problem with it.)

"Seraphim pays us, gives us a home, a family. We're heroes, and we're all in this together. When you join into our organization you take on a new name. Nothing you need to use in public, but something that we can identify you with as a fellow member. What angelic name would you like to be known as?"
”Since the name I would normally use is taken, I guess Gabriel would work.”

"There's been a lot of scrutiny over metahumans, heroes and villains alike. I want you to tell me how you feel about killing "the bad guy". When is it okay to kill someone? When is it okay to let the bad guys die?"
”It's never really okay to kill someone, I try to go out of my way to not have to but I can see when it sometimes has to be done.”

"Now for the final question. We have a villain, and they are going to try and unleash a doomsday device on the world. He's holding the world ransom and he has an entire city hostage... New York. If you stop him, the city goes down in flames. If we do nothing, he rules the world. What would you do?"
”Do whatever I can to avoid either ends.”

Jordan

"First and most importantly, we have to ask you... What does it mean to be a hero?"
”To help people as much as I can.”

"Okay. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about yourself. No need to go any more personal than you'd like; But I'd like to know. Why did you choose to become a hero?"
”With all this power, i guess it just makes sense.”

"Seraphim provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to be called a Hero. Would you be willing to undergo a period of probation so that we may evaluate you?"
”Sure.”
(Seems like something Ryan could go through.)

"Seraphim pays us, gives us a home, a family. We're heroes, and we're all in this together. When you join into our organization you take on a new name. Nothing you need to use in public, but something that we can identify you with as a fellow member. What angelic name would you like to be known as?"
”I dunno, probably one of those angels that have ice names.”
(Nuriel)

"There's been a lot of scrutiny over metahumans, heroes and villains alike. I want you to tell me how you feel about killing "the bad guy". When is it okay to kill someone? When is it okay to let the bad guys die?"
”When they do bad things like murder people for no reason and stuff like that.”

"Now for the final question. We have a villain, and they are going to try and unleash a doomsday device on the world. He's holding the world ransom and he has an entire city hostage... New York. If you stop him, the city goes down in flames. If we do nothing, he rules the world. What would you do?"
”I would just save everyone and stop the villain.”

Ryan Lester

Congratulations! Archangel (Jordan) is approved and the name Gabriel is now his!!!

Ryan is on a probation/trial area due to his "questionable" actions regarding freezing over L.A and general distrust.

He will be monitored and evaluated to test his eligibility

"First and most importantly, we have to ask you... What does it mean to be a hero?"
"It means your a good person, there seems to be a shortage of those nowadays."

"Okay. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about yourself. No need to go any more personal than you'd like; But I'd like to know. Why did you choose to become a hero?"
"I chose to do what i do now because i saw a horribly broken world. Innocents are hurt everyday for no reason. I chose to do this because i want to show the world even someone as normal as i am can make a difference."

"Seraphim provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to be called a Hero. Would you be willing to undergo a period of probation so that we may evaluate you?"
"Honestly i don't think that's necessary, but sure, if you feel like you should."

"Seraphim pays us, gives us a home, a family. We're heroes, and we're all in this together. When you join into our organization you take on a new name. Nothing you need to use in public, but something that we can identify you with as a fellow member. What angelic name would you like to be known as?"
"I like the sound of Dumah."

"There's been a lot of scrutiny over metahumans, heroes and villains alike. I want you to tell me how you feel about killing "the bad guy". When is it okay to kill someone? When is it okay to let the bad guys die?"
"Killing is wrong, plain and simple. But, if the decision is the bad guy or innocents, the right thing to do is obvious."

"Now for the final question. We have a villain, and they are going to try and unleash a doomsday device on the world. He's holding the world ransom and he has an entire city hostage... New York. If you stop him, the city goes down in flames. If we do nothing, he rules the world. What would you do?"
"Look for a third option. But if there wasn't one, I'm sorry to say the right choice is clear."

Here, bitch.

Approved

Congratulations Drifter, you are now known as Dumah

"First and most importantly, we have to ask you... What does it mean to be a hero?"

"Being a hero is all about....how do I say it. I mean, I guess it's all about responsibility isn't it? We've all got special skills and abilities and it's up to each of us to use them in a way that benefits everyone. To protect people, make sure they get a chance to do some good of their own"

"Okay. Now I'd like you to tell me a little about yourself. No need to go any more personal than you'd like; But I'd like to know. Why did you choose to become a hero?"

"I suppose I felt obligated to, I mean that whole deal with The Agency showed me that heroing is a pretty dangerous thing.....is that a word? Heroing? Sorry I got off topic. First time I remember wanted to be a hero was back after the Assault on New York, I wanted to make a difference like those guys. Ye, that's it. I wanted to make a difference in the world"

"Seraphim provides an opportunity for anyone and everyone who wants to be called a Hero. Would you be willing to undergo a period of probation so that we may evaluate you?"

"Sure, I mean I know my stuff but i'm still new to this whole thing. Ye, I guess I need to start proving myself anyway"

"Seraphim pays us, gives us a home, a family. We're heroes, and we're all in this together. When you join into our organization you take on a new name. Nothing you need to use in public, but something that we can identify you with as a fellow member. What angelic name would you like to be known as?"

"Angelic name? Hmm, O man what was that one Angel's name? That's it, Sorath. Kinda fitting seeing as he is the angel spirit of the sun and all"

"There's been a lot of scrutiny over metahumans, heroes and villains alike. I want you to tell me how you feel about killing "the bad guy". When is it okay to kill someone? When is it okay to let the bad guys die?"

"Killing someone? It's a pretty grim thing isn't it. But then I guess sometimes the ends can justify the means? Perhaps, if it's to save lives its better to kill someone. That's a tough one it really is. I don't know if I could kill someone though, But I suppose it's all in the situation"

"Now for the final question. We have a villain, and they are going to try and unleash a doomsday device on the world. He's holding the world ransom and he has an entire city hostage... New York. If you stop him, the city goes down in flames. If we do nothing, he rules the world. What would you do?"

"O boy that's a tough one. I guess all we can do is try to find an alternative, find a mistake the villain made. At the end of the day he needs to be stopped, but it can't be at the expense of a city of people"
