<div>[[Image:G4ec.jpg|frame|right|GURPS Fourth Edition Basic Set]]One of the biggest problems with [[GURPS]] Fourth Edition is that many of the firearms haven't been converted yet. These charts are the hard work of the Lesser GURPS Gun God Curtis Handsaker, a.k.a. Z09SS on the [[Steve Jackson Games]] forum[http://forums.sjgames.com/ ].<br />

<br />
While Meta Forces is registered as a Hero SG in Paragon City, it is not. Meta Forces is actually a Division of the U.S. Army, Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer. Despite being U.S. Army, applicants are accepted from all U.S. military services, and all allied military forces.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
'''Base Upgrade Construction is Complete'''<br />
<br />
SgtMj Cherenkov recently completed his stint as the Base Improvement Oversight Liaison, and in a recent debriefing with General Washington, Mssgt Riley, and Captain Fletcher announced that the new construction is complete and online. The base layout was changed, allowing the addition of a third Teleporter Chamber, and two additional Teleporters.<br />
<br />
Base teleporters are now available for the following zones:<br />
<br />
'''Atlas Park, Kings Row, Skyway City, Boomtown, Faultline, Founders' Falls, Independence Port, Terra Volta, Brickstown, Dark Astoria, Founders' Falls, Eden, and the Rikti Crash Site.'''<br />
<br />
Our ally, Joint Task Force Hero, also has the following teleporters in their base:<br />
<br />
'''Crey's Folly, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, and Striga Isle.'''<br />
<br />
And finally the SuperNaturals now has their first teleport beacon to '''Croatoa.'''<br />
<br />
We now have access to teleporters to every zone that has a teleport beacon.<br />
<br />
SgtMj Cherenkov would like to remind all Meta Forces members to be courteous at all times, but especially so while in our coalition bases or while on the coalition radio frequency. Failure to render proper military courtesy when due will be grounds for an Article 13 hearing.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />

As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

To those who serve, and those who have served, in the Armed Forces of the United States and its allies, we in Meta Forces are honored to say; '''"Thank you."'''</div>Seanr451https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php?title=Meta_Forces&diff=45963Meta Forces2007-03-14T15:38:31Z<p>Seanr451: Teleport Beacon changes</p>

<div>''Last updated: March-14-2007''<br />
<br />
While Meta Forces is registered as a Hero Supergroup in Paragon City, it is not. Meta Forces is actually a Division of the U.S. Army, Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer. Despite being U.S. Army, applicants are accepted from all U.S. military services, and all allied military forces.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
'''Base Upgrade Construction is Complete'''<br />
<br />
SgtMj Cherenkov recently completed his stint as the Base Improvement Oversight Liaison, and in a recent debriefing with General Washington, Mssgt Riley, and Captain Fletcher announced that the new construction is complete and online. The base layout was changed, allowing the addition of a third Teleporter Chamber, and two additional Teleporters.<br />
<br />
Base teleporters are now available for the following zones:<br />
<br />
Atlas Park, Kings Row, Skyway City, Boomtown, Faultline, Croatoa, Independence Port, Terra Volta, Brickstown, Dark Astoria, Founders' Falls, and Eden.<br />
<br />
Our ally, Joint Task Force Hero, also has the following teleporters in their base:<br />
<br />
Crey's Folly, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, and Striga Isle.<br />
<br />
We now have access to teleporters to every zone that can be teleported to with the one exception of the Rikti Crash Site.<br />
<br />
SgtMj Cherenkov would like to remind all Meta Forces members to be courteous at all times, but especially so while in Joint Task Forces' base or on the coalition frequency. Failure to render proper military courtesy when due will be grounds for an Article 13 hearing.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />

==Special note==<br />
To those who serve, and those who have served, in the Armed Forces of the United States and its allies, we in Meta Forces are honored to say; '''"Thank you."'''</div>Seanr451https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php?title=Meta_Forces&diff=45615Meta Forces2007-03-09T03:13:22Z<p>Seanr451: Base construction update.</p>
<hr />
<div>''Last updated: March-08-2007''<br />
<br />
While Meta Forces is registered as a Hero Supergroup in Paragon City, it is not. Meta Forces is actually a Division of the U.S. Army, Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer. Despite being U.S. Army, applicants are accepted from all U.S. military services, and all allied military forces.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
'''Base Upgrade Construction is Complete'''<br />
<br />
SgtMj Cherenkov recently completed his stint as the Base Improvement Oversight Liaison, and in a recent debriefing with General Washington, Mssgt Riley, and Captain Fletcher announced that the new construction is complete and online. The base layout was changed, allowing the addition of a third Teleporter Chamber, and two additional Teleporters.<br />
<br />
Base teleporters are now available for the following zones:<br />
<br />
Croatoa, Eden, Faultline, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Independence Port, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Striga, and Talos Island.<br />
<br />
For informational purposes the SgtMj would like to remind everyone that our ally; Joint Task Force Hero, also has the following teleporters in their base:<br />
<br />
Creys Folly, Galaxy CIty, The Hollows, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, and Striga.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />
<br />

Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

<div>''Last updated: Jan-02-2007''<br />
<br />
While Meta Forces is registered as a Hero Supergroup in Paragon City, it is not. Meta Forces is officially a Division of the U.S. Army, Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer. Despite being U.S. Army, applicants are accepted from all U.S. military services, and all allied military forces.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
By order of Mssgt Riley (U.S. Army, ComOpVir) the teleporter beacons have been changed, and will remain locked onto the following zones:<br />
<br />
Eden, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Kings Row, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Talos Island.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

<br />
Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
By order of Mssgt Riley (U.S. Army, ComOpVir) the teleporter beacons have been changed, and will remain locked onto the following zones:<br />
<br />
Eden, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Kings Row, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Talos Island.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

<br />
Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
By order of Mssgt Riley (U.S. Army, ComOpVir) the teleporter beacons have been changed, and will remain locked onto the following zones:<br />
<br />
Eden, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Kings Row, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Talos Island.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<div>''Last updated: Dec-27-2006''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
By order of Mssgt Riley (U.S. Army, ComOpVir) the teleporter beacons have been changed, and will remain locked onto the following zones:<br />
<br />
Eden, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Kings Row, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Talos Island.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

<br />
Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
By order of Mssgt Riley (U.S. Army, ComOpVir) the teleporter beacons have been changed, and will remain locked onto the following zones:<br />
<br />
Eden, Galaxy City, The Hollows, Kings Row, Peregrine Island, Perez Park, Steel Canyon, Talos Island.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

==Special note==<br />
To those who serve and those who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and its allies we in Meta Forces are honored to say; '''"Thank you."'''</div>Seanr451https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php?title=Meta_Forces&diff=39811Meta Forces2006-12-27T09:57:42Z<p>Seanr451: /* Roster of active duty personnel */ Updating the roster</p>
<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
The base has undergone recent renovation. The reception area has been vastly improved with the addition of a waiting room and security scanners. A complete medical wing has been added, along with a long list of medical supplies available for all members. The rear storage room has been converted to a barracks for those members who do not wish to live off base. Finally, additional fire safety gear has been added at multiple points around the base.<br />
<br />
The General and Master Sergeant Riley have both extended their personal thanks to Lieutenant Shaw, who did an outstanding job supervising the recent construction and renovation. Additionally, the General was so pleased with the work that he has also signed and placed a ''Letter of Commendation'' into Lt. Shaw’s permanent record, and ordered that the "Employee of the Month" preferred parking spot be awarded to Lt. Shaw for the next 90 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />

==Special note==<br />
To those who serve and those who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States and its allies we in Meta Forces are honored to say; '''"Thank you."'''</div>Seanr451https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php?title=Meta_Forces&diff=30613Meta Forces2006-08-24T23:05:08Z<p>Seanr451: /* Scheduled events */</p>
<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
The base has undergone recent renovation. The reception area has been vastly improved with the addition of a waiting room and security scanners. A complete medical wing has been added, along with a long list of medical supplies available for all members. The rear storage room has been converted to a barracks for those members who do not wish to live off base. Finally, additional fire safety gear has been added at multiple points around the base.<br />
<br />
The General and Master Sergeant Riley have both extended their personal thanks to Lieutenant Shaw, who did an outstanding job supervising the recent construction and renovation. Additionally, the General was so pleased with the work that he has also signed and placed a ''Letter of Commendation'' into Lt. Shaw’s permanent record, and ordered that the "Employee of the Month" preferred parking spot be awarded to Lt. Shaw for the next 90 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />
==Scheduled events==<br />
<br />
There are no special events beyond the Monday night teams currently scheduled.<br />
<br />

<div>[[Image:G4ec.jpg|frame|right|GURPS Fourth Edition Basic Set]]<br />
This annotation project is intended to provide a cross-referenced source of information about the GURPS 4th Edition roleplaying system. It is ''not'' intended to replace the core books, nor should information from the core books be copied to any page on the wiki.<br />
<br />
==About GURPS==<br />
[[GURPS|A complete description of the GURPS system can be found on the GURPS page.]]<br />
<br />
All information on GURPS rules and systems has been moved to that page.<br />
<br />
==About this project==<br />
The goal of this project is to create an annotated guide for selection and interpretation of the rules of GURPS depending on the style of game your group wants to play. It was started on 02 June 2005 by [[User:Adalger|Adalger]].<br />
<br />
==How to contribute==<br />
Most new pages should fall into one of the following categories:<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Character Points|Character Points]]===<br />
The heart of character generation in GURPS are Character Points, or CP. Points can be ''spent'' to purchase traits for the character. And negative traits can be taken to generate additional CP to make more purchases. <br />
<br />
The Game Master of a game decides on how many points players may have to generate characters. <br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Attributes|Attributes]]===<br />
New rules or information on GURPS attributes (Strength (ST), Dexterity (DX), Intelligence (IQ), and Health (HT)) or Secondary Characteristics (Perception (PER), Will (WILL), Hit Points (HP), Fatigue Points (FP), Basic Speed (SPEED), and Movement) should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Advantages|Advantages]]===<br />
Advantages are quite simply abilities, traits, or powers that have a positive overall impact on the character. They range from simple (and low-cost) things like improved vision, or hearing, all the way up to Super Powers. Advantages, like disadvantages are divided into several categories. Physical, Mental, and Social. They are also divided into Exotic, Supernatural, and Mundane. These categories help the referee decide which advantages will be allowed in his campaign.<br />
<br />
Any new, renamed, or combinations of advantages should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Disadvantages|Disadvantages]]===<br />
Disadvantages are traits that have a negative impact overall on the character. Some disadvantages have minor benefits. A person who is Honest is restricted from doing illegal acts but can become known for honesty and net a positive reaction bonus for it. For the most part Disadvantages are going to be more restrictive than beneficial and in those cases where the disadvantage does not negatively impact a character it's value can be reduced or even removed.<br />
<br />
Any new, renamed, or combinations of disadvantages should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Skills|Skills]]===<br />
Any new skills or skill conversions from other systems should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Magic|Magic]]===<br />
GURPS third edition had a number of magic systems built to suit a variety of settings. What was called "Standard Magic" was built for Fantasy genres and deals with casting spells in tactical time units. Standard Magic is little changed.<br />
<br />
If you have rules on different types of magic systems or new spells they should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Powers|Powers]]===<br />
If you have used the rules (especially those from the Powers book) to create specific powers they should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Psionics|Psionics]]===<br />
Psionics have changed dramatically in Fourth Edition. Whereas previous editions had a variety of powers and skills specifically under the psionic umbrella, these powers are now generic in nature, and classified as advantages. <br />
<br />
Any new powers that are Psionic in nature should be placed on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS House Rules|House Rules]]===<br />
If you have any suggestions on how to interpret the GURPS fourth edition rules in certain situations, or rules that you use that are altogether new they should go on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Templates|Templates]]===<br />
Templates and Meta-Traits (which are really just certain types of templates) should go on that page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Weapons|Weapons]]===<br />
One of the biggest complaints about the Fourth Edition is that the copious amounts of weapons data haven't been converted yet. Conversions are here.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Armor|Armor]]===<br />
We have the same problem with armor as we do with weapons. In addition, many people feel the armor stats (particularly weight) in the Fourth Edition Basic book is just wrong.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Equipment|Equipment]]===<br />
Any new stats or conversions of equipment or vehicles should go here.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Genres|Genres]]===<br />
If you have information (such as a review on a specific genre book), or helpful information about running a specific genre with GURPS it should go on that page.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, a new page might fall into a subcategory -- e.g., ''GURPS: Cyberpunk'' might be a subcategory of ''GURPS: Genres'', and you might want to create a page on Cyberpunk terminology, which would logically be most at home within the ''GURPS: Cyberpunk'' category. However, ''please'' avoid creating additional subcategories unless there is a ''compelling'' reason. If you have any doubt, please solicit discussion on the Talk page for the category where you're considering creating a subcategory.<br />
<br />
If you’re creating an article about a specific GURPS world, please include a link to it from the GURPS Genre page.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Tactics|Tactics]]===<br />
An article about general tactics would be very useful to any player that finds his character in a violent situation. Especially if that article includes tips and tricks for using the GURPS Fourth Edition rules and techniques during combat.<br />
<br />
===[[GURPS Terminology|Terminology]]===<br />
An extensive article on specific GURPS terms, both official and otherwise should go on that page.<br />
<br />
==What to do==<br />
Don’t feel that you have to write a long article. If you have an idea, even a small one, go to the appropriate page and add it.<br />
<br />
A good start would be to pick your favorite genre. If a page for it exists, see if it says everything that needs to be said. If not, start it!<br />
<br />
Other things that need to be done:<br />
*Clarifications of rules that you think are hard to understand.<br />
*Lists of limitations and enhancements people use, with value modifiers, per skill/advantage/disadvantage.<br />
*Observed/common abuses of rules/skills/advantages/disadvantages/enhancements/limitations.<br />

<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
The base has undergone recent renovation. The reception area has been vastly improved with the addition of a waiting room and security scanners. A complete medical wing has been added, along with a long list of medical supplies available for all members. The rear storage room has been converted to a barracks for those members who do not wish to live off base. Finally, additional fire safety gear has been added at multiple points around the base.<br />
<br />
The General and Master Sergeant Riley have both extended their personal thanks to Lieutenant Shaw, who did an outstanding job supervising the recent construction and renovation. Additionally, the General was so pleased with the work that he has also signed and placed a ''Letter of Commendation'' into Lt. Shaw’s permanent record, and ordered that the "Employee of the Month" preferred parking spot be awarded to Lt. Shaw for the next 90 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
The base has undergone recent renovation. The reception area has been vastly improved with the addition of a waiting room and security scanners. A complete medical wing has been added, along with a long list of medical supplies available for all members. The rear storage room has been converted to a barracks for those members who do not wish to live off base. Finally, additional fire safety gear has been added at multiple points around the base.<br />
<br />
The General and Master Sergeant Riley have both extended their personal thanks to Lieutenant Shaw, who did an outstanding job supervising the recent construction and renovation. Additionally, the General was so pleased with the work that he has also signed and placed a ''Letter of Commendation'' into Lt. Shaw’s permanent record, and ordered that the "Employee of the Month" preferred parking spot be awarded to Lt. Shaw for the next 90 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence.

Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==CURRENT EVENTS==<br />
The base has undergone recent renovation. The reception area has been vastly improved with the addition of a waiting room and security scanners. A complete medical wing has been added, along with a long list of medical supplies available for all members. The rear storage room has been converted to a barracks for those members who do not wish to live off base. Finally, additional fire safety gear has been added at multiple points around the base.<br />
<br />
The General and Master Sergeant Riley have both extended their personal thanks to Lieutenant Shaw, who did an outstanding job supervising the recent construction and renovation. Additionally, the General was so pleased with the work that he has also signed and placed a ''Letter of Commendation'' into Lt. Shaw’s permanent record, and ordered that the "Employee of the Month" preferred parking spot be awarded to Lt. Shaw for the next 90 days.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

(The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, the Motor Pool Department Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+ levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 8:00pm Pacific Standard Time to around 10:00pm PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />
<br />

<br />
At 8:00pm PST on August, Meta Forces personnel will assemble in Steel Canyon, at the gate to Siren's Call.

At that point whichever member of Meta Forces wants to acquire the Combat Invisibility temp power will speak to Warzone Agent Brinson. The mission will be set and the team will move out. During the mission if the Meta Forces team encounters anyone on Longbow's official registry of villains (i.e. player-characters) the team's orders are to approach the individual(s) and affect arrest.<br />
<br />
Once this mission is completed the member who spoke to Warzone Agent Brinson will receive the Combat Invisibility temp power.<br />

Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Benefits of membership==<br />
Being a member in good standing of one of the best Supergroups on Virtue has additional benefits:<br />
<br />
1) Pride in being a member of one of the most challenging and fun Supergroups.<br />
<br />
2) Being able to count on your Supergroup to run events, and help you out when you need it.<br />
<br />
3) We ask that you always play in supergroup mode. This allows you to show off the Meta Forces emblem with pride, and allows us to get the prestige we need to continue to improve the base. In return whenever you need Influence to purchase Enhancements (starting at level 12), you need only contact a ranking member to be issued a large batch of Influence. (The one benefit many of you truly care about) A level/prestige earned schedule may be posted at some later date if we feel people are abusing this. Otherwise just let us know you need new Enhancements and you’ll get them.<br />

During the mission if the Meta Forces team encounters anyone on Longbow's official registry of villains (i.e. player-characters) the team's orders are to approach the individual(s) and affect arrest.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the Virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt.

<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />

If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />

<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
'''1) Soldier members'''<br />
<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
'''2) Droids'''<br />
<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
'''3) Volunteer members'''<br />
<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.''<br />
<br />
'''4) Kheldian members'''<br />
<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.'''<br />
<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.'''<br />
<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
'''Mandate 4) Always represent well.'''<br />
<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
===Soldier members===<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
===Droids===<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
===Volunteer members===<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
'''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.'''<br />
<br />
===Kheldian members===<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
===Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.===<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 4) Always represent well.===<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
===Volunteer members===<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
'''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.'''<br />
<br />
===Kheldian members===<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
===Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.===<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 4) Always represent well.===<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unum Plurabis - Out of one, many...'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Founded in August of 2004, the Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare.<br />
<br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
===Soldier members===<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
===Droids===<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
===Volunteer members===<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
'''Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.'''<br />
<br />
===Kheldian members===<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
===Mandate 1) Aid heroes of Paragon City in defense of the city.===<br />
The Prime Directive of Meta Forces, and the reason for its existence.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 2) Only officers are allowed to lead Meta Forces teams.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 3) Never refuse any request for aid unless otherwise instructed to do so.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you, and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
===Mandate 4) Always represent well.===<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
==Special Events==<br />
20:00 PST on July 31st, Meta Forces personnel will assemble on the North end of Valor bridge in Independence Port. A ranking officer of extremely high security clearance will lead the team through the Respec Task Force. If you've never participated in this mission before (and even if you have) it promises to be a wild ride.<br />
<br />
At some point in the near future we will run one of the six surviving eight task forces on each Meta Forces night so that anyone who wants to can earn the '''Task Force Commander''' badge.<br />

==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the darn game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, gets together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and A.L.I.C.E. packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero-like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
===1) Soldier members===<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
===2) Droids===<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to Combat-Medic, Motor Pool Division Head.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
===3) Volunteer members===<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of soldier members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
Due to the popular nature of this position, Meta Forces is not currently accepting applications for volunteer membership. Stay in touch with your local recruiter as this may change soon.<br />
<br />
===4) Kheldian members===<br />
Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.<br />
<br />
As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice.] Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
===1) Be respectful.===<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
===2) Always be ready to help.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
===3) Follow orders===<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unem Plurabis'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare. <br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the damned game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, get together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and alice packs. <br />

==Rules==<br />

<hr />
<div>Meta Forces is an officially registered Hero Supergroup in Paragon City. Brigadier General Jack Washington (U.S. Army, ComMetFor) commanding officer.<br />
<br />
The Meta Forces (Operation Virtue) group is primarily comprised of Special-Ops soldiers from around the globe. They are not Super-Humans, they are simply the best that the world's militaries can muster to fight at the side of heroes of Paragon City as they battle evil wherever it can be found.<br />
Meta Forces night is every Monday night from 20:00 Pacific Standard Time to around 22:00 PST. We often schedule special missions, accolade runs, and occasionally task forces. In short, Meta Forces night is almost always a memorable one.[[Image:Mf01.JPG|frame|right|''E Unem Plurabis'']]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Meta Forces project was started out of a need to keep a governmental hand in Super-Human, or Meta-Human, activities inside the country. Several of the forces that are hard at work inside Paragon city are external threats. Council forces and Rikti are two very clear hostile forces from outside of the government. <br />
<br />
Soldiers from any friendly nation or any special forces group from any branch of the armed services can apply for transfer to Meta Forces. The training is rigorous and powerful at the new Fort Atlas, just outside of Paragon City on Route 5. There the Special Tactics, Equipment, Armor and Meta training facility trains soldiers in a unique brand of urban warfare. <br />
Simulators and confiscated higher tech equipment give soldiers a chance to face some realistic battlefield conditions before entering the Outbreak training.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
This is a concept Supergroup. We're not concerned with the nerfs of Issue 6 or beyond, we're not concerned about diversity, we're just going to play the damned game. The concept is to build a Supergroup that plays together on Monday nights and over the weekends, get together whenever they want to, all try to stay in relatively the same range, and slowly enjoy the content of the game. We're looking to improve our base, kidnap Statesman's cat and ransom it for better helmets, P.O.V.'s (player operated vehicles), and alice packs. <br />
<br />
No, not just anyone can join, yes we have a dress code and character templates. We make characters for the challenge of trying to be a human in a superheroes world, with super hero like droids backing us up and moving us from place to place. It's fun, you should try it. It's certainly challenging.<br />
Recently, Brigadier Washington has authorized the C.O. of Operation Virtue, Master Sergeant Riley, to begin recruiting Super-Humans into Meta Forces. These volunteer members must follow the same Code of Conduct as all Meta Forces personnel, excepting only that they are allowed to wear their original costumes. As civilians, volunteer personnel are not allowed to hold rank within Meta Forces, and they are required to attend (and pass) a Standard Tactical and Procedural Class at Fort Atlas prior to being allowed to patrol Paragon City as a Meta Forces representative.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
You have three character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.<br />
<br />
===1) Soldier members===<br />
The most challenging and rewarding character to play in Meta Forces. Also the only characters that can advance in rank and thus be authorized to lead a Meta Forces patrol.<br />
<br />
AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.<br />
<br />
Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.<br />
<br />
Special equipment: Characters of 20+levels can take a special power that glows or some such, like hasten and describe it as a high tech toy. Nothing prohibited.<br />
<br />
Costume: Helmet is optional but encouraged. We use the soldiers helmet, not the tech helmet. Body armor of some sort is also encouraged. Camo green is our army uniform color, though DCUs are also allowed. Arctic gear, jungle camo, or mountain, or urban camo is also fine. We wear combat boots and usually a tactical belt. Gloves are optional, but really no soldier goes without them for long.<br />
<br />
Only soldier members can lead teams, unless otherwise instructed by a higher ranking member of Meta Forces, such as a squad leader or the CIC.<br />
<br />
===2) Droids===<br />
Droids are another type of Meta Forces unit from the motorpool. The U.S. Army has been trying to perfect artificial intelligence since the Rikti invasion, and have now been offered by Hyperdine and Cyberdine, several models of combat droids.<br />
<br />
AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.<br />
<br />
Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.<br />
<br />
Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.<br />
<br />
Costume: You have to look like a droid, not a human. Full face covering. Try to stay away from the medieval helmets, they look dumb on a robot. We already have one like this and he looks like he was assembled in Mexico from spare parts. We call him the conquistadroid when he’s not looking.<br />
<br />
Meta Forces droids are required to act like droids. You can have personality, as long as its droidish. Yes I just made that up, but remember droids are created to serve by the U.S. Army. If they didn’t serve a purpose, they wouldn’t be used. So no obnoxious or disobedient droids. Droids may interrogate individuals to determine if "full control" is authorized by their credentials. Any member of Meta Forces should have "full control" status, allowing him to order the droid into a potentially deadly situation. Abuses of this control should be reported to the C.O. of the motor pool, Captain Fletcher.<br />
<br />
Other metas should be assisted. Meaning, if told to run in with your empathy/rad droid and draw fire, for a Meta Forces player, you say "Yes [rank/name]", but for another Super, you say "I’m sorry but that conflicts with my self preservation protocol", or some such. If at any time you need or want to leave a non-Meta Forces group, you can be recalled to base for any number of reasons.<br />
<br />
===3) Volunteer members===<br />
Anyone who has proven themselves to a Meta Forces officer may be allowed to join as a volunteer member. These are simply standard Super-Humans who wish to join Meta Forces, and are willing to follow the rules of Meta Forces and obey the orders of Meta Forces officers.<br />
These positions are primarily reserved for the alts of primary members. Any Super may apply however, and if they prove themselves worthy, both on and off the battlefield, this condition can be waived by any Meta Forces officer.<br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
All Meta Forces personnel, whether a U.S. or allied soldier, a droid, or a civilian volunteer member are at all times subject to the [http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm Uniform Code of Military Justice]. Before you are allowed to join Meta Forces you will be briefed on the U.C.M.J., and sign a statement agreeing to adhere to and be subject to the U.C.M.J. as interpreted by the Judge Advocate General's Office, and the commanding officer of Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
While in Paragon City, while in uniform, or at any time in which the member is identifiable as a member of Meta Forces, personnel are also required to abide by the following standing orders:<br />
<br />
===1) Be respectful.===<br />
All civilians, police officers, military personnel, and Super-Humans are to be treated and addressed in a respectful manner at all times. This means answering with sir or ma'am, and being polite at all times. This applies even if the person you are addressing is in custody, and even if they are a known Villain. Remember, you represent Meta Forces and the impression they have of you is the impression they will have of all Meta Forces.<br />
<br />
===2) Always be ready to help.===<br />
Meta Forces personnel may not refuse a request for aid, especially from a police officer, or civilian who is obviously being victimized. You are expected to do what is asked of you and to monitor the @virtue911 channel at all times. Meta Forces personnel are expected to give one hundred and ten percent at all times.<br />
<br />
===3) Follow orders===<br />
Meta Forces personnel, just like regular military personnel are required to follow the orders of ranking members at all times. Personnel who disregard this directive may be subject to an Article 13 hearing, and the punishment may be anything up to and including a Dishonorable Discharge from Meta Forces, and possibly deportation to the former member's country of origin.<br />

'''NOTES:'''<br />
#Dual feed mechanism, can alternate between ammunition sources. Different types of ammunition can be loaded in each source.<br />
#Any type of round can be loaded and selected in any order from the magazine.<br />
#Anyone hit by a fragment will take an additional 1d of burning damage each second for 20 seconds, or until the fragment is removed. See M-15WP (p. W98)<br />
#Scatters mines in the area of effect. Roll SM+3 or less to hit a mine. 300 lb minimum weight to trigger. Mines do 6dx2(10) cr ex damage to the underside of the triggering item.<br />
#High Explosive Squash-Head, if blast fails to penetrate armor, 10% of damage rolled bypasses armor and inflicts damage anyway.<br />

<div>[[Image:G4ec.jpg|frame|right|GURPS Fourth Edition Basic Set]]One of the biggest problems with [[GURPS]] Fourth Edition is that many of the firearms haven't been converted yet. These charts are the hard work of the Lesser GURPS Gun God Curtis Handsaker, a.k.a. Z09SS on the [[Steve Jackson Games]] forum[http://forums.sjgames.com/ ].<br />
<br />
Until GURPS High-Tech comes out these stats should be very helpful. Frankly, I'll be surprised if the official stats are much different.<br />
<br />
If you find mistakes or have an issue with a particular weapon stat please make a notation on the [[Talk:GURPS_Weapons|discussion]] page before making any changes.<br />
