I always been a fan of series and stories like Leverage and Scorpion where not ordinary team of people with very different skills band together to help innocents. Also the recent movie xXx return of zander cage has a little to do with that as well. Movies like Fast Five are also movies that contain the plot I am looking for. Gone in  Sixty seconds is also a good movie to give examples of what I mean.

I am looking for a group of people interested in making a group game with a central plot. There will be a lot of smaller plots for either character development or to just give the team meaning. Basically the game will follow a Federal agent who was given the go ahead to form a team of specialized people to tackle stuff normal law can't. Basically being the robin hoods of the law the ones who break the law in order to archieve a common goal.

There are a couple of Paths people can choose...

Scorpion Path: You all are geniouses(sp?) at a  particular field. NOBODY can beat you and nobody comes even close. However as much as you are smart you also lack the tact of talking with people and showing emotions because emotions is just a feeling that is worthless on the field. How would you solve that?

Leverage Path: You are all skilled thieves in a particular field each. Someone brings you all together to be the robin hood of the people.

xXx: A group of highly skilled people brought together by a man for a common goal. Now they are all wanted but they have a saying 'X takes care of each other'.

Fast Five: Street racing + skilled people what else do I need to say?

Sounds like most Shadowrun campaigns, really. Many of them are teams of mercenaries who try to pick their jobs so that they help the downtrodden. They tend to call it "Hooding" as a Robin Hood reference. It can include helping the poor and/or disadvantaged, or ecoterrorism, or simply bringing a faceless megacorporation down a peg.

And if you want the street racer concept, well there's a whole character archetype that's tailored for it. Plus a sourcebook packed with vehicles and customization options.

this would be more of a no system rp. Focused on interactions more then combat
