|
The League of Science-Heroes is one of the older factions in Nexus War history. Originally created by LibrarianBrent after the PEC dissolved, the League harbored all sorts of evil characters. For a short period of time, the League acted as a neutral faction in order to fool their rivals into a false sense of security in what is now known as Operation Rattlesnake. However, after the success of this attack, the League returned to its roots as an evil alliance.
After the new character wipe (at the beginning of the beta version of NW), however, the League, seeing the overwhelming advantage now possessed by evil, in particular the huge DARIS organization, decided to switch towards a good alignment in order to participate on the "underdog" side during the fight for the northern realms, as well as so that their name would actually apply to most of their characters.
Later in 2007, The League set up their Lab in Downtown St. Germaine. It was soon discovered that all the offices had dangerous radon levels, and had to be infused to prevent factions without radiation detectors setting up their stronghold in a dangerous place.
Current experiments the League are running involve turning Lead into Gold by leaving it overnight in the Parliament, testing residual magic levels on various metals after substantial MP application, and using reflection seismology to determine the actual location of Mia Tigua.

[edit] II. Oath of the League.
I will use my powers for good.
I will devote my life to the furtherment of all science, not just the kind that makes things go boom. Though boom is good too.
I will protect the helpless, the innocent, and the good, even those good who need the self-righteous snot kicked out of them. Failing this, I will at least wait until other League members aren't looking.
I will remember that with great power comes great responsibility, that all knowledge is not good knowledge, and that any urges experienced while inventing to lock myself in a tower, hire a man named Igor, and develop a maniacal laugh should be reported to my superiors in the League immediately.
I shall fight for justice, right, and the Power of Science.
So do I solemnly swear,
(Your Name Here)
[edit] Friends and Foes
The League of Science-Heroes is in its infancy after the new character wipe, and therefore has not yet been able to become fully active in Nexus politics and intrigue. In general, however, it is allied with most good factions and an enemy of most evil factions.
