I'm Jon, I'm based in the UK and this is my first Super Heroes/Super Villains game, although I've been role-playing for about five years now, focusing on the HP fandom, and spiritual/supernatural and historical settings. I mostly play slash relationships, and tend to play more dubious characters, as I find them more enjoyable.
Here I play Alexander Moretti, Crime Lord of Axis City, a man looking to spread his influence over the rest of the country. He owns Moretti Media, an international news-broadcasting and publishing giant, and has recently opened his own science labs and technology manufacturing plant.
He likes to present an honest, family-friendly and above all wholesome image to the public, casting himself as a man who cares about the injustices ordinary people are forced to endure, and trying to reveal the corruption in the City to make it a better place for everyone.
Everyone, but especially Alexander Moretti. Unbeknown to almost all but the most keen and defiant Super Heroes, Moretti heads an army of Super Villains and mundane thugs and thieves, stepping-up his father's gang-war activities. Through this Network of Crime, Moretti hopes to take over the city in a matter of months, pulling the strings on a puppet government and from Axis City, he can turn his attention to the rest of the world.
Moretti owns the Axis City Daily News, or the ACDN, as well as the largest local broadcasting station. He uses it to present the news he wants people to hear, and all his reporters as required to take a strong anti-supers stance in their writing. He employs a great number of people in his organisations, villains, mundane and supers, and will be having a great deal of other interactions when the game starts officially, which should be within the next few days.
There's lots more about Moretti here on his journal, as well as a list of wanted characters. You can contact me via AIM: old aedelwulf, or by PMing me. I also play _livewire and homo_validus if you have any questions regarding them.
