You don't need any previous info to join the game though. For returning players, there's something you need to fill at the end of your character sheet. Just so the new players know with whom that character has had a previous relationship with.
About the game
The Other Heroes, is a free style game. Meaning that there's no set plot for it. There's a beginning, and the players along with the GM, sort of just take the game from there. The GM has little idea of the direction the game will take because the players have as much impact in the game as he does.
Of course, the GM would set some initial rules, that the players can't cross, but usually there's a good reason for those rules, in other for the game to reach a nice long life.
The game is intended so that players are not paused by the absence of the GM or other players, they can keep gaming at a normal rate with players that are here, and keep playing with others when the others are around, so hopefully, unless every person involved in the game is not in here the game will be fluid enough.
THE SETTING
People all over the world start realizing they are different from the rest of humanity. And some events out there make some of them realize they might not be alone.
Some weeks ago, Ex-congress man Nathan Petrelli started giving a speech that ended up with him getting shot, and announcing that he will be running for Senator. For almost everyone, Nathan's speech was just another inspiring speech, but for a microscopic part of the population, they simply knew what he was about to say. He was like them.
Special people found other special people like them and they might be more inter related than they know.
THE RULES
I know this is a free-style game but there has to be some rules in order for one player to not have too much power over others and to keep the game peaceful and in order.
1. No canon characters. (There might be presence of canon characters, and if a player has a good idea of how to tie a character to the game it can be done, but since I want this game to be parallel to season 3 having canon characters would be troublesome).
2. No Godmodding. (Respect the other players, it's not nice to make their characters do something without their permission)
3. Be creative. (Even if it's free-style I'll reserve the right to not admit someone using a character that wouldn't fit with the Heroes mythos or that is simply too noobish, I can however give recommendations on how to improve this).
4. Again! Be creative! (If you have a cool idea you want to try, don't be afraid to let me know and implement it, just be careful about how you implement it, because it's not nice to affect too much other players)
5. Respect the GM (Even if I'm not required for the game to move forward, I'll act as a moderator checking that everything's in order).
6. 4 character limit. (Any player can have 4 characters at any given time, I put a rule not to have more than that because it can become really confusing with more characters per player).
7. No multiple powers, with the exception of players pre-approved by the GM, trying to limit it to one or two at the same time.

Name: Robert Slaughter
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Current Location: New York.
Appearance(Pic or description):
Special ability: Remote Memory Access. By proximity his mind can access information and memory data bases nearby, being electronic or organic. This doesn't mean that he can intercept signals, it only means that he can hijack memory data. (example: being near an ipod he could play the songs inside his head, being near someone he could see their memories, being near a cell phone he could access the missing calls list, etc.)
Brief History: Rob was raised and born in NY, his goal in life was to become a detective for the NY police force, but during the time when he was in the academy, he got caught in the middle of a gang war, he was framed by some of the members, which happened to be his old friends from highschool and was forced to spend a couple of years in jail.
After getting out of jail and realizing all his dreams were dead, he started carving new dreams and made a name for himself as a private detective. After discovering his ability, he has used it to his advantage and is now recognized as some of the best detectives in the city. However, having a grudge against the police now, he sometimes takes shady cases in which his clients are not exactly innocent.
During his life, Rob has been involved in many investigations, some of them a bit super natural, like when FBI Detective Audrey Hanson hired him to find the trail of a superpowered serial killer that went by the alias of Sylar. Rob never found him, but after investigating a bit on him he is glad he was never around him. His investigation of Sylar led him to also dig some information in a really shady paper company that oddly enough also had a research facility. Why would a paper company needed a research facility as big as their factory? was the first question that Rob asked himself in the series of questions he was about to form in his mind.
