Arenson9 and I want to help motivate and mobilize this community to share Sentinels of the Multiverse with new players. To that end we've planned a series of challenges for the community as a whole, recognition for those people who teach the most new players, and an unfolding fan-written story that will be unlocked as each achievement is reached.
The story is written by one of our youngest Sentinels of the Multiverse fans. The first chapter is below, along with a little information about her.
For our first challenge, can we as a community teach twenty five new players? To help us meet the challenge, add to the count by posting to this thread with: New player count, who taught the game (forum user name), location (city, state/province,country) and date.
If we meet this challenge, we will not only unlock the second chapter, but possibly also illustrations of that chapter as well.
We are in need of multiple illustrators willing to lend their talent to bringing these words to life. If you have interest, send a private message to kirioni and arenson9, preferably with a link to your online art portfolio.
Without further adieu here is the first chapter:
Chapter 1: Danger Calls
by Kiva Turner
It was supposed to be a perfect day to relax for heroes: Legacy, the leader; Ra, God of the Sun; Wraith, secret protector; and Tachyon, fastest woman on Earth. Legacy was planning to go on a vacation at the beach. Ra was just about to check the pyramids. Wraith was going to take a day off from running her business, and Tachyon was going to win a marathon. That is what they would have been doing if Legacy hadn’t noticed something.
Just as Legacy was packing his towel, he sensed danger in the city nearby. It always starts with a cold shiver up his spine; then he knows there is danger and where it is. He immediately called Ra, Wraith, and Tachyon. Of course Tachyon was the first one to the city with her fast speed. The rest of the heroes got there just as Baron Blade and his mobile defense platform were speeding away.
When Blade was out of sight the heroes looked around and saw at least twenty people wrapped up in toxic seaweed! Ra reacted first, burning the toxic seaweed off of eight people, but the other twelve had seaweed too strong. Wraith had brought her smoke bombs and razor blades to help. She sliced through five citizens’ toxic seaweed but the rest was too thick. Legacy and Tachyon finished off the other seven with their strength and speed: Legacy used his strength to pry the seaweed off the victims, and Tachyon taunted the seaweed to chase her so she could lure the seaweed into large aquarium tanks to contain it, then use her scientific knowledge to render it harmless.
Now that all the citizens were free, the heroes had to look for any more damage Baron Blade had caused. When they found nothing else (surely because Legacy had sensed the danger so quickly and Tachyon had zipped to the scene before Blade could wreak more havoc), the mighty heroes went off to fight Baron Blade.
