Deck The Malls With Boughs Of Holly
'Twas the days before Christmas, and all through the mall
Everyone was coming, for the one and all
The signs were hung by the store fronts with care
In hopes the the shoppers would enter there
When down in many stores arose such a clatter,
Security sprang to see what was the matter.
Away to the shops they flew like a flash,
What they found was henchmen, one with a sash.
"Now Roars! Now Crackers! Minions that don't rhyme!
We're taking these toys before Christmas time!"
Be prepared for some silly super heroic action as Dr. Holly Daye, 'Supervillain' and 'Genius' decides to drop in on a…

YAL: Becoming Allies 3
After dealing with the fight club, the 'young allies' end up going after the villains that got away, and what they may have taken with them.

Emitter: Kate Bishop aka Hawkeye II
YAL: Becoming Allies 2
In the aftermath of multiple teen heroes running unto costumed villains and their henchmen kidnapping kids, clues have surfaced that the kids may very well end up being taken so they can be used as combatants in illegal 'underground fights' not too far outside the city limits of New York City. Thus a bunch of 'Young Allies' get together to try to rescue the kids from this fight club. Only what they find there might not be what they expect...

YAL: Becoming Allies
Kids have been slowly vanishing from all over New York city for a little while now, but no place as markedly as Central Park. As such it is entirely possibly for people to be investigating the park, walking it, or doing... Other things there, when something unexpected happens. Something possibly related to the missing kids.

Policy Reminder
This is a reminder that Hero MUX has a zero-tolerance, zero-warning policy on harassment.
Harassment is very easy to detect, it exists most commonly when a player has made it clear that continuation of a given behaviour is unwelcome and the offender persists with that behaviour. No means no, not "not today" or "not for a week". If someone asks you to stop a given behaviour, you should take that as a blanket ban on that action.
Harassment also exists in persistent abusive language and insults, forcing or demanding unwanted roleplay, and stalking behaviour such as tracking and requiring justification for a player's characters' movement and actions. This kind of behaviour is absolutely and unequivocally unacceptable to staff.
All complaints are …
Drugs and Thugs, oh my!
So, hello! I am new to HeroMUX and the wiki, but not so much to MU* life or wiki life. That in mind, I am bringing a but of THUGLYFE into HeroMUX through my primary and original character, Kwabena Odame. He's got connections into the criminal underground through his BG, specifically in the illegal drug world. I'll be doing a lot of smaller scenes in New York City, Gotham City and other off the grid places related to this, leading into some bigger things that, with your help, could create some great plots. So, contact me any time and let's brainstorm some general badassery!

We're sorry to tell you all that Tinkerbell, our Plot Head and Wiki Wrangler, has decided to step down as Staff.
