Campaign Description: Majestic is a state sponsored group of heroes that work for the United Kingdom. Majestic has been created to protect the UK and all of it’s territories from any threat…from outside, or within. The player characters are heroes. They will fight to protect the public against villains and villainous agencies. The player characters must be good guys capable of working together as a team.
Importance of the
Player Characters: Very Important. While there are other heroes in the
world, the player characters are effectively central to
everything in this campaign. They are responsable for the protection of all British interests. There will
occasionally be crossovers with NPC heroes, as well as
characters from other campaigns.
World
Description: The
Global Guardians Universe is a four-color comic book world
full of larger than life characters. Technology is more
advanced that the real world, and magic is real. Aliens
and creatures of legend roam the earth.
The Story So
Far: Majestic was created by Winston Churchill in 1947. Churchill’s goal was to create a special group of heroes that could react to and take out any threat to the UK in a moments notice. Qualified candidates went through weeks of physical and mental tests just to get the opportunity to try out for Majestic. If a candidate passed all of the tests and trials, there was one final hurdle to cross, a meeting with Churchill and the mysterious Agent 1. If the candidate passed this final test, he was assigned an agent number and sent immediately to work.
One of Majestic’s early missions included capturing pro-Nazi scientists who were trying to find a way to bring Hitler back to life. On an island off the coast of Spain, the team fought through the uber clones of chief scientist Dietrich Grubber to get to their objective, the reformed and sentient brain of Adolph Hitler. Just as the Majestic team thought that the fight was over, Grubber set off the labs self destruct mechanism, which filled the complex with gas and caused a huge, fiery explosion. Sadly, Fey fell to the blast, which resulted in the first Majestic casualty. Her name, along with seven others, adorn The Wall of Fallen Heroes on the Majestic floor of the MI5 building.
Today, Majestic is a special branch of MI5. It’s mission was, and still is, to defend the UK and all of her territories from the threats of super and supernatural threats. The early Majestic members, such as Sir Gawain, Druid, and The Huntsman, still work for Majestic in administrative positions. The person known as Agent 1 is still the executive minister of Majestic. Whether or not he is the original Agent 1 is anyone’s guess.
Local Relations: Majestic has good relations with all countries that are friendly with the UK government. This does not mean that all royal subjects will welcome members of Majestic with open arms. There are separatist groups fighting for independence from the crown, and those of the upper class that want even more power than they have now.
Morality: Majestic is a four-color campaign, and for the most part the
morality of the campaign will be four-color as well.
However, there will be some crossover between good and evil,
and things will not always be black and white. Characters may
find themselves making difficult decisions, but should always
try to be good guys.
Realism:
Strong, but the heroes won't be expected to make ridiculous
efforts and take huge risks to accomplish their goals. In line
with the game’s story, the players will have to really make
their efforts "flash" so that the characters seem bigger than
life. Action sequences will be cinematic and descriptive.
Characters won't die unless they show themselves to be too
stupid to live or are going out in a blaze of glory. How you
role-play the character will do a great deal to determine the
realism of the game, so please put some soul into your
characters.
Outlook:
Positive, but with dark moments. The team can always beat the
badguys, but there are always more criminals willing to step up and take thier place.
Seriousness:
The game is going to be fairly serious. This does not
mean that there is no room for humor. Witty repartee, creative
use of powers, and the way you play should provide plenty of
humor in the midst of even the direst
situation.
Continuity: The game will be entirely serial. Player
actions in one scenario will have effects on later scenarios,
and continuity will be enforced. Adventures will move linearly
through time, bad guys will remember who you are and what you
did to them, and the press will print your exploits for the
world to see. |

Building a Character for Majestic |
|
Imagine your favorite
James Bond movie. Add in aliens, mutants, and magic, and you'd
have the Majestic campaign. Characters should be from the UK
or one of it's past or presently held territories. Character backgrounds
should be submitted initially. Based on those, I will
select a team lineup and will ask for character
sheets.
All Majestic
characters should follow these guidelines:
