Editing Meta Forces (section)

==Requirements==
You have four character choices if you wish to join the Meta Forces Supergroup.

'''1) Soldier members'''

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.

AT: Ar/Dev blasters are the preferred. Though MA/Reflex scrappers are also allowed.

Prohibited powers: Travel power, any secondary power that would make them superhuman, like shooting laser beams out of their eyes.

Encouraged powers: Fitness, Leadership, and healing powers that use the tech box.

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.

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.

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.

'''2) Droids'''

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.

AT: Any that doesn’t use prohibited powers. All Droids are Tech.

Prohibited powers: Bow, Dark or Mental powers. Everything else goes, though having an AR/Dev droid seems redundant.

Required powers: A travel power and recall friend are required powers. All others are not.

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.

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.

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.

'''3) Volunteer members'''

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.

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.

''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.''

'''4) Kheldian members'''

Once a solider member reaches security clearance level 50 they will be authorized to recruit a Kheldian alt into Operation Virtue.

As with volunteer members, Kheldian members must follow the same rules as all members of Meta Forces with the exception of uniform regulations.
