On a related/unrelated note, I think I've enough interest from both threads to make up an IC/OOC where people can start posting their characters and I can start adding more info to the main section above. That should be up either tomorrow or Friday.

Awesome~
I look forward to it.

Talking about powers, I was thinking about one that acts as "imperceptibility", something in these lines: every time you leave one's line of sight, all memories pertaining to you disappear. Something with infused power (Like jumpers and others that can infuse powers).@Nightraider

All right, I will start looking into my character and picking out what I want. I will also see about obtaining the Wild Card books and familiarizing myself, because frankly, the universe sounds cool.

Are we limited in what type we could pick (i.e. Joker, Ace, Deuce)? I was thinking of going Ace or Ace/Joker depending.

@FantasyChic I bought the first book and I really love it. Well, The Long, Dark Night of Fortunato was too "elaborate". Apart from that, I recommend.

Also, the spanish book cover is nice. (My Kobo's ebook cover is the spanish despite being in English)

That sounds fine. Just remember though, that the power is reflective of the person's unconscious desires, thoughts or fears. So this power is going to have to reflect the personality of the character. How you play that up though is up to you. Are they a shy, lonely person who believes that no one will ever notice them and so that comes true when they're infected? Or are they a brash, confident type who, deep down, is deathly afraid of not being forgotten? Something to think about, if you want :P

I don't know how I would but I have EPUB files of the books and if you have a E-reader or reader program... I would however suggest that you purchase said books. The website Ebooks has a selection of them for relatively cheap. It is an amazingly detailed universe.

You are limited, in a way. If you go back to the main post and look at Rule 5 under "Da Rulez!", you'll see what exactly you can and cannot pick in terms of number. There are also tips on powers and how to write your character to fit in the Universe.

I wouldn't say it's "elaborate" more than it's "dark and adult". Plus it sets the stage (plot) for the next 2 books so it is kinda/sorta a necessary story for the set up. This is for the books now, not us. I'll just add that Books I-III are probably the best in the series overall. IV is a bit of a let down and V would be kinda necessary to get a real idea of where we, the players of this RP, are in the world.

Overseer, I'm going to have such a time adding all this new info into the IC and OOC posts.

We're live guys! Ace High Straight (A Wild Cards (realistic, world driven superpowered) Casual/Adv. RPG) OOC

@Athoriel @Defacto @FantasyChic @Ermine

Just a reminder again guys that the OOC is up.

@Athoriel @Defacto @FantasyChic @Ermine

I am aware, I am just having difficulty making my character.

@FantasyChic anything in particular? Feel free to post questions or anything in the OOC

@Nightraider

Just deciding on if I wanna be a straight Ace or an Ace-Joker and what have you. Basically deciding on powers. Just not sure what powers my character should have. I don't want powers that are too intense, but I want unique ones. It's just hard.
