Campaign Description: The Wranglers are a group of heroes brought together by the State of Texas.  The Texas legislature voted to create a semi-nonprofit organization funded by corporations and fundraisers throughout the state, in order to assist the police force in cases they are ill equipped to handle and the occasional case the police are unaware of or think unimportant.

Importance of the Player Characters: In this campaign, the PC's are of paramount importance and of the most integral value, perhaps even beyond other campaigns. Being the first state-sponsored "team" of meta's in the history of the great state of Texas, the Wranglers interpersonal relations and the relationships developed with public agencies throughout the campaign will guide not only public opinion on meta's in general but affect their sponsorship as well. The players and characters will experience - and be expected to facilitate - an accelerated rate of growth and development. On a global scale, the Wranglers aren't going to be terribly important, but might be known in some select circles and anyone who pays attention to the superhero industry.

World Description: The Global Guardians Universe is a four-color comic book world full of larger than life characters.  Technology is more advanced that the real world, and magic is real.  Aliens and creatures of legend roam the earth.

The Story So Far: For the last five years, the crime rate in Texas has been on the rise, everything from petty larceny and drugs to violent crimes. The local, state and federal police forces were quickly becoming overwhelmed. There seemed to be no stopping the rise. The public outcry was immense, and the populace was beginning to leave for safer areas of the country. The final straw came four months ago, during the Texas A&M and U.T. grudge match.  These rival teams pulled in a capacity crowd and provided an opportunity for someone to escalate the violence and bloodshed.  An anonymous tip led the Austin police force to the stadium in response to a potential bomb threat.  Unfortunately, the police arrived just as three large explosive devices blew out the western section of the stadium, resulting in massive casualties and loss of life.  Over 8 thousand students, residents and workers lost there lives while the injury list topped 20 thousand people ranging in severity from minor cuts and scrapes to critical burns and trauma.  The aftermath of the explosion left area hospitals in short supply of medication, plasma, and beds.  Those that could be moved were airlifted to various hospitals throughout the state.

Local Relations: Police, fire departments and other governmental agencies are more than willing to accept the help of the Wranglers. While the local authorities probably won't initiate contact with the team, if the Wranglers did happen to show up, they would not be turned away. The team's successes (or failures) will drive many reporters and newsmen to great lengths to uncover their secrets. All of them. The media attention might drive the authorities to occasionally pry where perhaps doing so isn't terribly appropriate.

Morality: For the most part the morality of the campaign will be black and white though at times characters will have to make decisions that cross boundaries. When faced with difficult decisions the characters should always try to be the good guys.

Realism: The Wranglers will be a fairly realistic campaign but with some opportunity for cinematic efforts. Characters will not die unless they prove themselves too stupid to live or are going out in a blaze of glory.

Outlook: Mostly positive, but with some dark moments. The good guys will usually win; but, there are no guarantees.

Seriousness: The campaign will be fairly serious, though a creative player will find chances to inject some humor through the creative use of powers, and character interaction.

As you are applying for a job with the state of Texas, a resume is necessary as well as a standard background check. These will be in the form of a resume and character background. Based on those, the GM will select a team lineup and will ask for character sheets. Character resumes should contain educational and professional experience and character backgrounds should include some items of why the character is where they are when applying for a new job.

And finally, character backgrounds should include what general skill sets a character has in addition to a detailed description of their powers

All Texas Wrangler characters should follow these guidelines:
