Who: Professional Science Leopard Vanessa Goldpaw & any unaffiliated superheroes
Where: Anywhere around the city – and perhaps beyond.
When: Any time mid February to early March, pretty much
What: Apparently being a celebrity science genius and running a hugely successful business is no longer enough for Ms Goldpaw: she's looking to pick up unaffiliated heroes to run her own team.
Warnings: None yet.

Goldpaw Industries hasn't been up to much significant business lately. Vanessa has been busy enough – she always is – but she hasn't been working on anything terrifically interesting. Which is probably why she's been planning a personal project.

So far no one else is on it. But she's hoping that soon they will be...

Over the next few weeks Vanessa will be snooping around after unaffiliated superheroes. Generally competent ones are ideal, but what she's looking for above all else is 'undiscovered talent' – she's looking for lesser-known heroes to pick up and make big by cramming them into her GOLDPAW-BACKED COOL SUPERHERO TEAM.

Despite being a shapeshifter, she has been choosing to do her snooping in her usual leopard woman guise – even for top secret projects like this, she never uses her powers. She has probably been wearing a wide brimmed hat and high necked coat, though. Sooo surreptitious.

Feel free to either have your character notice she's been surreptitiously following them around or repeatedly lurking in the background while they do hero stuff and thus confront her or specifically attempt... to hide... lmao, or just be going about their business with whatever degree of obliviousness is appropriate while she approaches them! This is open to any unaffiliated superfolk, even if you think they would make terrible team members or you plan to have them refuse an offer – PM me or hit me up on plurk or AIM if you want to work any specifics out.

Vanessa nodded, slowly, beginning to get the shape of this situation, from the context of what her potential recruit had said before.

"So a sort of – Alternian Ghandi?"

Di smiled. While she didn't know the details of that man's campaign, she knew the basics. He was a hard figure to miss.

"Like an Alternian Ghandi. Sadly, in his time he was not successful, but his message lives on today and there are many who continue to practice and spread his teachings. Myself being one of them."

"So you teach other Alternians who've fled the Empire about this... way of life?" Vanessa prompted her. "Or is this some kind of... resistance movement?"

"More of a resistance. We go by the Sufferists," Her nose wrinkled at that. She hated the name, just like she hated the title of Sufferer but there was little she could do to change it now, "While it did begin as a peaceful movement, it has gained loftier goals, though there are some divisions as to what exactly those goals are, and how the Signless is viewed."
