The Resistance

Overview

The Resistance is an ally and enemy group in Praetoria.

Background

The Resistance attempts to awaken the populace to the reality of what's going on in Praetoria, and it does everything in its power to get would-be Heroes and Villains educated and out of Praetoria as quickly as possible. Members of the Resistance have banded together under the universal goal of stopping Tyrant and returning freedom to all. Their motivations and their personal goals are as varied as their origins. Some seek revenge, while others want to do right. Some seek peace, while others want personal power. They are clean, wired in, and smart. Among their ranks are hackers, robotics engineers, ex-military personnel, and escaped convicts. Although the Resistance draws strength from a common goal, the diversity of its membership is its greatest exploitable weakness.

The Resistance is formed from numerous cells that operate independently across the world. Its members can be encountered throughout Praetoria City's back alleys, huddling in automated warehouses and factories, and living in the tunnels deep beneath her streets. Its various cells move top side to conduct missions before slipping away to hide or blend into the populace in disguise. Members keep a very low profile and avoid detection from Mother Mayhem's Seers through a small device given to every member that cloaks the wearer's thoughts. According to the media, the escaped mental patient, Calvin Scott, is the fugitive mastermind behind the Resistance insurgency.

Targeting Drone Toggle: Self +To-hit, +Perception, Res(DeBuff ToHit)
When this small device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit and increase your Perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that DeBuff your chance to hit. While in use, any sniper rifle shots you make will do additional damage. This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, while active, the Targeting Drone drains Endurance. Recharge: Slow

Unreliable Stealth Toggle: Self Stealth, +DEF
The Cloaking Device allows you to use an LCD body coating become partially invisible. While Cloaked you can only be seen at very close range. If you attack while Cloaked, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and have a bonus to Defense. Unlike some stealth powers, the Cloaking Device has no movement penalty. Recharge: Slow

Survivor Auto: Self +Res (All), +MaxHealth
You have a greater tolerance to pain than others. You are also slightly resistant to all types of damage. This power is always on and costs no Endurance.
