(3ug5kull) Greetings all! Below is one of many lore releases from our Lead Content, Skipjack, in upcoming months. Keep your eyes peeled for more as we move forward! Enjoy! ========================================================================================================== Paramount: The Man behind the Mask by Aleyn Tallistro Members of the motorcycle club Riders of the Wild Hunt took eighteen people hostage at the San Cielo Central Courthouse Wednesday morning, demanding the release of their leader, Steve Patton, from San Cielo Penitentiary. The bikers barricaded themselves inside Courtroom Three as hearings began for the day at 9 a.m. Authorities evacuated the courthouse while San Cielo Police Department officers rushed to the scene. Hostage negotiators were called in, and SWAT members in full gear, along with several snipers, surrounded the building. It has been a century since this scene unfolded in July 1992, the first time the man named Protocol came to the aid of San Cielo. Protocol answered Police Chief Robert Pattons call for assistance that day alongside the ever-present Paramount, and their initial cooperation led to the formation of Valor, a group that has faithfully served and protected the citizens of this great city for 100 years and counting. A century of protection for San Cielo, all because one man chose to become a superhero. Paramount has long been celebrated as the first superhero in the United States, the first person who decided to use his superhuman abilities in the service of his community. Since then many others have followed in his footsteps, and continue to do so all around the world. But just who is Paramount? Although he has chosen to maintain his secret identity all these years, he has given us a few hints. It is well known that he served in the Caribbean Conflict of the early 1980s. His friend Protocol also served, as have several other members of Valor. We also know he is the only member of his immediate family to be so long lived, though his family name (whatever it might be) has carried on through his siblings descendants. He has stated that he has chosen to remain a bachelor, lest his superheroing work lead to the endangerment of his potential family. Finally, we know that his public records were sealed in 1996, when Valor was officially recognized as a law enforcement agency by the government of San Cielo. What little factual information we have on the man in the armor really doesn’t matter in the end, though. We have seen him stand up to gang violence and fight to save our streets. The citizens of this city have watched with bated breath as he ran into a fully engulfed building to the save the life of a child and her beloved cat. When the war came to our doorstep Paramount was there, fighting round the clock to protect our community. And he was there afterward, to help us rebuild and heal from the devastation. The actions he has taken, the choices he has made, and the lives he has saved define the man far more than a name ever could. He is Paramount, and while he is still a man, he has taken on a mantle of leadership few others could hope to bear. Courageous yet gentle, willing to take the risks so that others dont have to, because he has gifts that enable him to do so. Working with his own gauntleted hands to rebuild our great city. Paramount has given so much of himself to this community. But it is out of more than just a sense of duty, or a willingness to do the right thing. In this reporter’s humble opinion, he acts out of love.
