Note that all conceivable spots for this SB have already been taken, but if you do wish to join, please PM me. Please refrain from posting in the SB, where only the profiles and the eventual posts should go. There is a DT and a titanpad for this though.
I also apologize if this sounds fractured and confused, as most of the discussion for this has already taken place.

The 'One Timers' and 'Replacements'
Spoiler
1) You can act as a 'replacement': if one member drops out, you'd immediately take over. If you want to commit a bit more seriously than that, then feel free to work out the profiles together or something of the sorts.
2) You could be some form of Monster of the Week. As in, you show up, employed by some main character or just if you're asked to make mayhem to further the plot, then leave after a couple of pages at most. Or something of the sort.

The Plot
Spoiler
…Eden. A curious country, by all definitions (except, of course, those of its inhabitants). The people there long since mastered the art of Black Mana, a corruption of the original magic system which keeps the universe up and running. Black Mana is practiced by all: those who don’t are viewed as heretics. It’s powerful, very powerful, and oh-so-easy to cast, but – the price of extreme power – it twists the mind of the practitioners, until even the most strong-willed fall down into the spiraling clutches of complete monstrosity.
Of course, everybody does this now, and like all convenient things, it’s now deeply rooted into the very day-to-day life of the Edenians (they themselves don’t like that term, so be wary. Of course, tourists don’t stay much there, for reasons that will become clear to you later), so nobody considers using it a sin of any sorts. Corruption has set in fully and is stagnating… Eden is now a city of decadent pleasures and alluring traps, masking a fate too horrible to comprehend.
A city of broad avenues shaded by imposing trees, a city of mansions and castles of all sizes and eras, a city of theater arcades, five-star restaurants, and clubs. A city where one can easily lose himself in all the amenities and eye-catching beauties.
Lost in a maze of material comforts, what all but the most enlightened sages do not realize is that, before humans were created, before even the Gods were born, there existed a Primordial Being, a great Elder God of Chaos, commanding all the Elemental Powers. Out of His great Rage the Gods were created, and the Gods, fearing the Elder’s powers, created the rules of Mana to sap at His boundless strength. And for a time there was peace.
But then the Gods created humans, and the humans, being, as is their nature, greedy and lustful, corrupted the balance of Mana and created Black Mana. So Order was weakened, and the Elder Deity took his chance.
But even the most enlightened sages can’t spend too much time pondering these theological conundrums, as there’s plenty of mystery and intrigue going on in the very city to keep the most arduous heroes and daring politicians busy.
Big Bads are gaining power. Rumor has it one seeks an Artifact, but not just any Artifact. No, he seeks the legendary Artifact of Chaos, the Staff of Isfet. An Artifact so great and terrible it was rumored to be locked away from the Gods themselves. Still others have formed a coalition to subvert the government and seize power, and then with darker, more ambitious plans.
And now, arduous, enterprising, cunning villains, I welcome you to Eden. Beware.
