Greetings Earthlings!

The Phoenix Project is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for several years. The main premise is that the Phoenix Knight is a superhero that was first sighted in the late 1930's and his presence seems to trigger the activation of superpowers in some people. The whys and wherefores of this I will explain as I go on (if any interest is expressed). The first few heroes here are either related by blood or back ground.

As always comments welcome and its crossposted to tandj_asmp

Voila! – Latest heir of the Spencer family heroic legacy. Flashy speedster that dresses like a stage magician. Likes to affect sleight of hand as his speed tricks. For example he would wave his wand and then at super-speed tie the bad guys up. Works at the family investment firm heading up the IT department.

The Spencer family tradition started when the hero Doc Auger and the Phoenix Knight first met. Since then two or three member of each generation has been super powered. Doc Auger founded Spencer & Spencer Securities in 1954 using his abilities to predict fairly accurately the financial markets.

The Patron – The grapevine say he was a hero back in the 1950s and after his retirement he decided to use his resources to help novice heroes. His organization is called the Gladius Project.

The Patron is actually the son of Doc Augar, the minor hero Scout. He was injured early in his career and had to retire. He used the extensive family resources to start the Gladius Project to aid and mentor new heroes.

The Project also employs many non-powered persons to gather intell to better aide the cause.

Subtext (Megan Matheson) – A quiet telepath and empathy. She is quite ferocious in combat in stark contrast to her normal reserved personality. She is a graduate of the Gladius project.

The reason for her savagery when in battle is that she feels all too well the aggressive emotions around her and they overwhelm her somewhat.

Megan makes her living as sculptor, she works in many mediums and does some work in miniature gaming.
