We are a heavy RPSG looking for some new members for story arcs as well as individual RP. Silver and gold are welcome!
History-
The Blackwatch Defenders started as the idea of a wild and wooly world adventurer, soldier of fortune and all around adventure seeker 'Dash' Dana Kopra. An America of Finnish descent volunteered to aid Finland during the Winter War of 1939 out of familial and national pride. Flying aircraft and doing a bit of ground fighting suited him[ after he lost his sixth plane, he had a great kill to shot down ration of 5:1 but the Finns didn't have a lot of aircraft to go around]. After the winter war treaty he went to the UK to join the Eagle Squadrons.
He'd met Charles Sweeny and was eager to help the war effort against the Germans. Through Sweeny he meets The Black Owl. Between the three of them an idea forms of a colorful group of flyers with a license outside of the Royal military or any military, with the quiet consent of the governments they aid, to fight the evils of the Axis powers. The Blackhawk Defenders were born.
The Black Owl also suggested to Kopra that mystery men and emerging superhumans should be recruited wither they could fly or not. [At the time he meant fly aircraft, since flying superhumans were quite rare at the time]. With similar goals in mind, the groups worked together and the Blackwatch and Blackhawk Defenders were formed.
Unlike other heroes and adventurers the end of the war was just the beginning for Kopra's team. The Blackhawk half was finished, the military grade fighters were to much and mothballed or sold. Most 'Hawk members either joined the new US Air Force, Royal Air Corps or other force depending on their nationality. Most 'Watch members either retired or fell in the war. Kopra did neither and a few others, mostly in the support staff he'd gathered kept an eye out.
Later he would call this the true origin of 'The Blackwatch'. As he was later quoted;
"I saw the world as the British did. Stalin was up to no good, I remember him from the Winter War and no doubt he'd be up to something bloody and he had his fair share of supermen. Well, there we were, the supermen watching, waiting for the day we'd be needed. That was the true mission of the 'Watch. I just didn't know it yet."
Since the rocky beginnings in WW2 the Blackwatch has kept an eye on the world and the dangers that threaten it, ready and able to fight for freedom, hope and to end tyranny. Like their founder, the Blackwatch is a little wild, weird and sometimes controversial. They may not be the heroes the world expects but they do the job that has to be done.
We have weekly events and random strangeness!
