What the heck, can you put me down as a strong maybe? I'll download the pdf tonight and read it over and see if I can get up to speed.

Worst case scenario I can't do it and my character gets eaten by @Yodaking

Without having looked at the rule book yet, this is what I'm thinking about as a back story.

Spoiler Alert!

Xander "the Ghost" Xillium, was an inter-galactic bounty hunter in pursuit of an escaped fugitive from the Void inter-dimensional prison named Cellulite. Cellulite was hiding on Earth with the use of a Transmutation Devise that allowed him to appear human. Once Xander finally located Cellulite, Cellulite didn't go willingly and a ferocious fight ensued that left Xander near death.

During the battle, Cellulite endangered many local human lives, including a brilliant military research scientist named Samantha Williams. She was grateful to Xander for seemingly having saved her life so she rushed Xander's broken body away to safety. Not only did she nurse him back to health, but she also knew what the Government would do to him if they found him, so she also kept him hidden from her own colleagues. The recovery took months and the two fell in love during this time. Once Xander had fully healed, he asked Samantha to leave Earth with him and travel the stars, but she did not want to leave her home. She was also convinced that the research she was doing for the government was paramount to protecting Earth from galactic threats posed by the likes of Cellulite.

While Samantha was at work, her secret research facility was attacked by a group of supervillains calling themselves Omega Pox, which included their newest member Cellulite. They were looking to make off with technology the military was working on, and Samantha was killed during that conflict. Xander vowed to stay on Earth in Samantha's memory and protect her home from the scourge of supervillains as well as other threats from outer space. Cellulite must be captured and returned to the Void, only then will he consider returning to his work across the wider galaxy.

Could go with the more tech savvy Boba Fett type or the alien genetically powered Lobo route. Not sure what would work best with in the rules and quozl's plans.

I love that story! That's so good. And let this be a lesson to all of you, about the importance of fitness to combat cellulite. And it's a wonderful story.

[quozl]

As long as you all can come up with reasons why you've teamed together, I'm fine with whatever.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Just purchased it. I hope to read through tonight and begin character creation tonight too.

Cool!

I could seek out a local PI to help me track down Cellulite and the Omega Pox. That would bring me into contact with Dad_Scapers character.

and/or

I could be familiar with Lou's characters parents having encountered them on previous hunts and been aware of their child's presence on Earth. So After Samantha was killed I sought her out as a possible ally on Earth in my fight against Omega Pox given that I really don't know anyone else on Earth.

Not sure about how to tie in the Rock Star. Maybe he's living on the street in his Van on the same block as the PI's office and so they know each other?

[Dad_Scaper]

I got it. I’ll expla later this evening. If Q doesn’t mind me doing a little world building.

[quozl]

I definitely want collaborate with you all in the worldbuilding. Post your ideas!

[Dad_Scaper]

I will. I’m on my phone now. It should blend with whatever you have in mind.

All I know is the Everlovin' Rockstar could use some extra chedda'. Them royalty checks ain't what they used ta be if you know what I mean. *guitar riff*

I was thinking this was gonna be a lot more time intensive than that, but that, I can sure as heck commit to. Super interested in this now.
