Legionnaire Legacies

So what is this "Legionnaire Legacies" that the most recent episode of Legion Watch mentioned?

Legionnaire Legacies are profiles on individual Legionnaires that involve footage of their pasts. An example format will be given to the players by the mods, and players can write them about their characters. As this is the UP press, these segments must be skewed or biased in some way (albeit in whatever way the player chooses), presenting an image of the character that isn't entirely true or complete. Players are allowed (and encouraged) to make them as ridiculous and off base as possible.

These segments will be run periodically, every few months, and 3 players will be allowed to submit one each period. If more than 3 players volunteer, the 3 chosen will be decided by RNG. Players will only be eligible to submit one if their character is either new, or they have achieved the Activity Bonus with the character during the last Full AC. Players of multiple characters will only be allowed to submit one for a single character during the whole course of the game, to allow as many players as possible to have a chance before the game reaches its planned ending.

The news personalities at Legion Watch will have access to any footage of the Legionnaire's past by using a dimensional Anywhere Machine (the schematics of which was stolen from a research organization that Brainiac 5 lent it to). The device lets them see and record events in other dimensions and other times. This means that these segments can be very intrusive and while events from the future cannot be displayed, they can show accurate visions of a Legionnaire's past. They will send out people to discreetly scan characters during public outings so the machine can be keyed into their timeline.

This is entirely voluntary and player-initiated. No characters will have a Legionnaire Legacies segment unless the player wants to write one.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments.

Espionage Squad

Parker has been quietly biding her time, reading people's posts on the comm network and watching them on missions and around Legion World (from the vents, probably, because...well, she's Parker), gathering intel on who might be good at sneaky maybe-not-so-above-board kind of shenanigans. Because Parker has done her reading on the Legion and knows that there used to be an Espionage Squad, and they really could have used one on the mission that turned into Murderworld.

Now, this is Parker, so she's thinking of it more along the lines of her own crew back home, so she'll be looking for not just hackers and sneaky people, but also people who are good actors ('grifters') and potentially other 'masterminds', though only if they've also demonstrated teamwork abilities. She's been on the lookout for skills, powers, and a certain moral flexibility.

So my question for you: which of your characters may have pinged her radar for any of the above?

I'll be making a post for an actual meeting once I've gathered a few names where she'll actually pitch it to them in character, but in the meantime:

Who wants to be on the Espionage Squad?
