Sounds good. I think starting this Wednesday would be good. Since we all decided on the time, any other potential players will have to make that time work for them or not join.

About the rules system for the Traits Rolls, would you guys prefer it I, the GM, does the rolls and tells you the results or would you like do them yourselves. The former would speed things up as I could do the rolls and the results all at once rather than them telling me what they are doing, me telling the player to roll, having them roll, then telling them the results after adding the modifiers and then them taking their next action.
The dice rolls would work by using the forum dice (zlioGgsq1-20) and adding the modifiers.
In a unrelated matter, I am going to try and draw myself a profile image tomorrow.1-20

I'm in favor of letting you do the rolls

If Mandragons is okay with it, I think it would be the best option as it is the quickest.

I been thinking about how the game should start. I'm feel that a good start would be White Kitsune arriving at the Brock's house to try and recruit them to fight Grendel at the same time Paladin has arrived to meet the Brock siblings on the behalf of the United Heroes.
Tell me what you guys think.

I like it. On a related note, I assume that Einn's Burrow doesn't have any UH office? So Paladin would probably have to report/call in to the nearest office. Anchorage, maybe? (I'm just trying to flesh out some details).

Yeah, the United Heroes don't have an office there since Grendel arrived on the scene. He killed almost half of them and the rest were pulled out. Since Grendel rarely doesn't anything major outside of theft and drug dealing, the authorities leave him be as they lack the resources to actually deal with. So the local office can be in Anchorage. Perhaps trying to start one in Einn's Burrow can be part of Paladin's mission? Or least once he encounters some other metahumans in Einn's Burrow.

I don't know, going to their house, as a vigilante feel a bit creepy, but on the other hand waiting for them on the way to their school is creepy too... in fact thinking about it it's probably be the least creepy way except for a genuine chance meeting so yeah. Going to their house is something White Kitsune would do.
Edit: Grendel killed half the UH of the town, and he systematically kill other metahuman because he feel threatened by them, but he's left alone because when left alone and not threatened he's only a petty criminal? Wow... Well that give White Kitsune a good argument against joining the UH if it's offered.

Yeah, I like that. "Due to the recent upswing in metahuman activity, we're sending you to Alaska to gauge the situation and, if necessary, start establishing a team there."

Great! That settles the back story of the game and we can carry things from there. I personally foresee a great period of turmoil with Grendel trying to crush these upstart metahumans, evening going as far to hire some metahuman muscle (something he has never done before). That will probably be even more local manifestations thanks to the fighting (but let's deal with that as they come if they even come).

AceOfSpade White Kitsune wouldn't be able to meet David on the way to school as due to his mental derangements, David as deemed education irrelevant. As for Grendel, he is pretty much a petty criminal. In fact, he has only killed two baselines since his manifestation and gives any new local manifestations a chance to skip town. As the UH leaving him alone, they just don't have the manpower to take him down when there are more active threats in other areas. In fact, if it wasn't for his habit of killing any other metahumans in town, Grendel would only be a C-class supervillain despite his power. For the record, 'half of the UH in town' is only a couple of single powered exemplars as there was only four exemplars and one paragon superheroes in town before Grendel arrived on the scene.

Hmm... Sorry to say, but I might not be able to join this. Job is shift work, five days a week, random days, sometimes more shifts. So... Sorry guys, I guess.

Aw too bad There may be ways around this thought, a mising player happen often enough in tabletop RPG, maybe you could play a character with good reasons to suddently dissapear, random teleportation, other obligations outside his Cape/Cowl life... could be challenging if you have to dissapear or come back in the middle of a fight because it span two sessions and you couldn't be on both though
