Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Capabilities and Motivations
Heritage has inherited powers from his family
line, each generation refining and adding abilities.
He has superhuman strength, speed, durability,
bulletproof skin, a warning sense that can alert
him to impending danger, and can fly. He is also
extremely charismatic and inspiring, bringing out
the best in others, often by leading by example.
He makes people want to be the best versions of
themselves. All of these combine to make him an
extremely effective leader, but his greatest strength
is always his resolve to protect others. No matter
what, he does what he considers the right thing,
and more often than not, he rallies those around
him to help.
Personal Life
At first glance, Heritage lives what would be
considered the stereotypical American life:
white picket fence, dog, loving family, barbecues
with friends on sunny Sunday afternoons. This
impression rarely lasts long, however, as his home
life is anything but typical. His wife Emily Parsons
is a Senator, which means that she is frequently
away attending to matters of state. His daughter
Pauline Parsons — who always preferred going by
her middle name, Felicia — has moved out and is
the new Legacy. Paul keeps busy as a member of
G.L.O.B.A.L. and as a teacher, and his decision to
trust Felicia to carry on the Legacy name has
brought the family even closer together.
While in Megalopolis, Heritage spends most
of his time teaching courses on Communications
and American History at the Sentinels of
Freedom Academy of Heroics and Justice. He
is of the firm belief that having powers doesn’t
mean skipping a quality education. His background
as a hero on and off the field comes in handy with
the students, since they know that he’s the real
deal and give him (slightly) more respect than they
would give other adults. Raising a daughter with
powers gave him a lot of experience in dealing
with the special challenges involved with
teaching students who are discovering
new powers and constantly testing their
limits. He’s also an able combat course
instructor, since his nigh-indestructibility
means that the students can really let
loose without having to worry too
much that they are going to hurt him.
While the destruction wrought by
OblivAeon was tragic, it did have one
positive side effect — it showed just how
many people around the world were willing to step
up and help others, many of them with powers
of their own. Because of this untapped resource,
a new organization has been formed to better
coordinate heroes worldwide: the Geocentric
Limited Operations for the Benefit of Advanced
Lifeforms, more commonly known as G.L.O.B.A.L.
By connecting heroes around the world, individual
heroes know who they can call on in their area,
preventing disasters, saving more people, and forging
friendships. Nations can send representatives
to G.L.O.B.A.L. (voluntarily, of course), to learn
more about heroes worldwide and work towards
creating a worldwide community. Heritage is the
United States representative, serving as a consultant
about the kinds of threats heroes can face as well
as putting his considerable charisma to work as an
ambassador for heroes in general. G.L.O.B.A.L. is
still in its infancy, but with more nations signing on
all the time, it could become a true force for good
in the world.
