[OOC] Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Should I make my entrance separate from the collab post and then join in that once the entrance has been posted? I ask because I have some backstory stuff I want to get in there with the entrance and I'm not sure it would flow very well in the collab.

@fdeviant

In cases like this, I suggest using your best judgement and follow through with it. Which in this case, it might be ideal so we don't have random mention of things that don't relate and then abruptly shift back to the scene. That's part of the reason I wanted everyone to do a intro post first so they could get everything not directly related to the plot done and set up their PC to just hop in. It makes things easier normally.

@Fallenreaper

I'm planning on getting a White Witch post up today or tomorrow and I'll throw in Joseph's entrance along with it. Then I'll hope on over to the collab and go from there.

@GamerXZ It's up to you really. Depending upon your powers there could be pros and cons. Even with some kinda Paperbending superpower water will be a major weakness. Sure your power may be able to force the paper to hold it's shape longer but it won't be as strong.

While literally everyone has clothing. You could take a look at Kill La Kill for some inspiration regarding fabric based powers as well. They have some interesting powers despite the outrageous fanservice.

Another good superhero anime is. Concrete Revolution. Which take a look at the more political aspect regarding how the public and government view heroes and monsters.

@VATROU

The other idea I had was for someone whose power was to bring to life the things they drew, but I guess something like that would be too overpowered, eh? XD

[fdeviant]

My post was sort of rushed so if there are any outstanding grammatical, spelling, or content errors, let me know.

@GamerXZ

.....Not necessarily.

@nitemare shape

Oh, hey Nite. So, what makes you say that? Cause from what I know, the ability to bring things to life by drawing them can be quite the Game Breaker.

[nitemare shape]

It depends on how powerful the constructs are, and how you use it, really.

If you go and draw, say, every comic book, video game, and movie character you can think of, and they have all their powers somehow, yes. Completely overpowered and IMO, kind of random and silly.

But if it you use the abilities sensibly and it makes sense in game, it can be quite interesting. But my concern with a powerset like that is that it can easily fall into camp, which wouldn't quite fit with this setting. But if it's done right, it can absolutely work.

@nitemare shape

Alright, thanks for your input. I'll take some time and get a character sheet up XD

@nitemare shape

Say,um, for a character whose power is "drawing things to life" what kind of Hero type would you use for them?

[GamerXZ]

Sorry for the double posts but just want to ask, how fast is that human-altering energy dome expanding?

@GamerXZ

I would probably go with "Other" for that.

And as far as the Domes go, that would be a good question for @Dedonus

Ok, thanks. XD

The post-Pax Metahumana situation would be easy to explain. Seattle, LA/Pacific Point, Dallas, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Chicago had the metadomes. Furthermore, since Thunderbolt dumped the device that was hidden in Lost Haven into the Atlantic Ocean, he single handedly either crashed the North Atlantic fish market or something very similar to what happened in Agents of SHIELD when the Terrigen Crystals fell into the ocean will happen.

Pre-Pax Methumana? I don't know.

@Dedonus

@GamerXZ

I can't speak for Ded but I'd guess that if you aren't in the above cities you won't get powers from the event. However there's always other ways to get powers. I'd also assume that we plan on stopping the domes via taking out the big bad before they can expand too far.

These are all assumptions. So.take them with a grain of salt.

[Dedonus]

@GamerXZ

What Vatrou said is pretty much on the money. Since the devices that originally generated the domes have been destroyed, they are not growing very fast.

Oops.

[nitemare shape]

What to do when you're bored and just want to post, but all your characters are tied up in arcs?

Go to your NPC's. Just because.

@VATROU

Ok, cause I was thinking that my character got his powers from being exposed to one of those domes like you mentioned earlier as an idea XD

[Fallenreaper]

@fdeviant None that I spotted, and when you post in the pad let us know. I'm going to give you about 3 days before I reply in the collab and have Rach likely do something stupid.

[fdeviant]

@Fallenreaper I'll let you know. It should be either today or tomorrow hopefully.
