Game Background

Welcome to Freedom City Hero!

Freedom City. You could scour the entire planet and never find a more vile, drug infested, gang ridden city. And to make matters worse a whole host of super villains have decided to make Freedom City their new home! Freedom City National Bank has been robbed a half dozen times in the last month!

Enter the League of Heroes! The League has many famous members such as Captain Fantastic, Elasti-gal, Gadget and The Speedster! You, however are a junior member of the League. Having just discovered your powers the League's leader; Captain Fantastic, feels the rampant, unchecked crime of Freedom City is the perfect training ground for you.

Alignment And Reputation

Alignment
There are only three alignments; Good, Evil and Neutral. Heroes are good while Villains are Evil. Neutral is an alignment reserved for NPC's only.

Reputation
Reputation is a vague way of determining how the general public perceives you. A Positive reputation (+1 to +10) means that the people look up to you as their hero. A negative reputation (-1 to -10) means that the people fear you.

There are two main ways to improve or damage your reputation, they are:

1. Civilian Casualties
2. Collateral Property Damage

It is true that on occasion loss of civilian life and massive property damage is unavoidable, however the unjustified death of civilians or destruction of property will result in a negative reputation. Likewise, taking great care and going the extra distance to save civilians and property will result in a positive reputation.

How This Effects the Game...
Once a Hero has joined the League of Heroes they are members for life. There is only one exception to this rule. Any hero who, at any time, has a Reputation of -5 or lower may choose to switch sides and become a villain.

Likewise; Any villain who, at any time, has a Reputation of +5 or greater may choose to switch sides and become a Hero.
