@Dedonus@nitemare shape So. Let's go over this from an idea perspective. The point to most of these larger supposedly magical beings, like Dragons, Krakens and other abnormally massive possibility sentient beings is that they should not be native to Earth, or should have died out by now.

And I can work around that myself. It's why I made my version of Dragons Aliens. Cosmic Beings on the level of lesser Gods so they'd still fulfill the role I need them for later yet not be a main point. After all The rest of the Galaxy I'd huge so while Space Dragons exist they could probably never be seen by Humans.

So. If Dragons were more alien, and had to be actually pulled to earth, sought out on other planets or planes of existence or be creatures that for whatever reason decided to pop in would Dragons be accepted?

Not as a PC. An NPC plot device, sure. But not as a PC character

Part of the problem is that this is first and foremost a superhero roleplay, not general fantasy one. Sure, magic and fantasy elements might appear in Marvel and DC comics, but they are not the most important part of these two universes. In my own opinion (I cannot speak for the other GMs), these fantasy elements should not exist naturally on this Earth or have long since faded away.


True, but define a what makes a Superhero? Everyone has a different definition, view, and expectation of what makes a superhero or are require to have to be classified as one. The only way you could do that is by defining what makes a superhero in this rp and make every CS fit that.

Ben is an example of that type of hero that might not fit the mold of what you might consider a superhero. Especially with what I'm going to do with his story later down the road and such.

Ben is apples and oranges to what we're talking about.

Chances are, with few exceptions, if it belongs in Middle Earth or Westeros, it doesn't fit into this game.

I wouldn't accept an Orc either, just to be clear.

I think what we're getting at is the tone of a superhero game, and what fits into that setting, in which case I agree with NMS. In a modern-day superhero setting, dragons flying around doesn't totally mesh with the world that's been made.

I agree with what NMS and NN have said. Having large monsters roaming around in a setting that is, with some exceptions, much like out own world not make much sense because it would not mirror our own reality. Sure, you could try to make an argument against superhumans, but in this roleplay, the awareness of superhumans have only been a recent one. Therefore, it is an "what if" scenario asking the question about how the world would be like if superhumans existed.

Alright, so I will wait before making the introduction post to our invasion of Doctor Diplodoc's base if anyone at Sherman Center wants to make a post before they leave. I can get this intro post up Friday/this weekend.

@Dedonus Personally I'm good. Eva is way out of her comfort zone and with that last comment. She isn't feeling chatty.

To be clear, I'm not arguing about the denial of a PC. The only reason I mentioned this was mainly as you both kept reminding with your replies that this was a superhero rp. Which seemed to me means you both clearly have a defined thought to what is or isn't a superhero. That makes me concern about meeting that expectation without literally unraveling any fun I got excited over as Ben's story could arguably read more like a supernatural slice of life if I didn't.

God Damn it, I always finish after he gets off... T-T Anyways, you're up and she's weighing how much she has to sweeten the deal or not. Cowl can likely name a few terms for his aid and see if she's willing to bite too.

@Dedonus I want to make one more war-pulse post before we go to the next scene, at least to address the comments made at the merc. @Fallenreaper I will try to reply to your thing tonight as well, but I am strapped for time.

Also, I will not be around this weekend, as I am off in the woods with no signal.
