My first priority was obviously getting somewhere to stay. While I could in theory just camp out every time in my tent, sooner or later someone would take a shot at me while I was doing it.
Plus, you know. Beds were nice. So was heat, even if I didn't really need them to endure the elements anymore. More importantly walls were harder to see through, and drew a lot more attention if attacked in the middle of the night.
So I needed somewhere to crash. I could use the good old 'tent on a roof' method a few times, but long term I needed housing, and I just wasn't getting in the cash flow I needed to afford hotel rooms each night.
Honestly an apartment was probably out of my budget range as well. Even if I kept eating off of the Mercy of Strangers-
...Idea.

Mind providing a couple ratings or maybe any notable feats before hand?

A cape asking for a place to stay? Sounds fishy. Either you can join up with the Protec. and they'll get you a place to stay or you're a villain, in which case I certainly don't want you in my house.
EDIT; He says he's going to fight super crime, but then why isn't he just joining up with the institutionalized heroes? It's a pretty nice paycheck, or so I've heard.

Yeah, seems like, it's too audacious to be otherwise.
...
Listen, Brass, it cool if I call you Brass?
If you kick skinhead, ABB, and Merch ass, I'd put you up, frankly this shithole town needs more heroes anyway and I certainly ain't gonna be the ass who risks the chance of not getting one cause he needs a place to crash.
Drop me a PM, I'm down if you are.

Yeah audacious is one word, but the cynic in me doesn't want to believe I can get a personal superhero by saying here sleep on my couch. But if it is legit, my couch is so free, and I offer free pancakes!

Probably cause some people don't really trust the Proc.
They been here how long and accomplished what exactly?
Seriously, they're pretty much losing to all the streettrash in the city.
Can't remember the last time I heard about them actually taking down a villain and putting him behind bars and had him stay there.
Basically, they just don't get things done.
An Independant has a lot more freedom to do things, if something doesn't work, they can try another way.
The Proc has a few miles of red tape to deal with.

Any chance for some wild and crazy cape stories, and I might put you up.
The garage is kinda drafty, but you can mess with it how you want.

I want to believe, but I put the likelyhood of this being real up there with someone coming up to me on the street going heres the keys to this new car! Brockton isn't this lucky or my dad might still have a job that payed more minuim wage
@Urthemiel
You are going to make a hero your personal b, isn't the whole point of this is that he needs a plac eto stay so he can help the rest of us?

No so much ballsy as lack of options. I'm an obvious cape and don't really have anything along the lines of friends or family anymore, so I'm not really bothering with a civilian life. New Wave isn't taking on new members to my understanding, and while I don't deny their status as heros, the methodology of the Protectorate is a bit to...corporate for my tastes. I've also some personal issues with their methodology, so I'm flying solo for now.
Reporting Cape name is 'Malfean'. I'm new. First action was the Endbringer fight in Canberra, but I've done some work against both the Merchants and E88 so far.
As for ratings... uh... Trump I think? I accumulate lots of little powers in response to time and stress to exponential results. Currently have augmented learning, healing, durability, a striker power that augments physical blows with green fire and limited combat augmenting shape shifting (wings, claws, armor, sizing up).
Is there a thread to get confirmed Cape status or something? Or should I just wait for a Mod to PM me?
Edit: Woah that's a lot of replies... Okay thank you people of Brockton Bay.

Nope. Don't feed me that 'red tape, no freedom to do what's necessary' bullcrap. That very same red tape is what keeps vigilantes from murdering the criminals they catch and keeps Tinkers from fucking around with shit they don't get. Everyone knows the story of that one guy who broke through to that other Earth and got himself killed in the process. What if he messed up even worse and we ended up with some cataclysmic end-of-the-world crud?
The Protectorate fills a very much needed role of overseer.
EDIT;
@BrassGreenFire
Just PM a mod with a pic of your costume and some landmark. And just let me say, that power is stupid awesome and you could help a lot more people in the Protectorate. Whatever issues you've got, you can work out with them, even if you just do a contract/business relationship type of thing.
