Aren't you subscribed to your own roleplay?

@Dedonus

Yes.....I just never think to look in my subscribed threads...

[Robeatics]

<Snipped quote by Robeatics>

Between the end of season one and the new one there’s going to be about 2-3 months, I think. That might not be a good idea since there’s no IC during those months between. That means your PC’s acts would’ve been ignored until S2 started and I can’t see honestly any of the heroes or villains ignoring that.

I might suggest asking someone to become involved with Lisa, as in find her during this Season and while you’re waiting, you and that person can work out over the morals, interactions and more through memories that you can insert when it fits.

@Fallenreaper

What I meant was that Lisa goes into the city after Season 2 starts. But that's some solid advice and a good heads-up regardless, I'll be sure to PM a few people and see where it goes. If anyone wants to set something up, please let me know. I have few very set goals with Lisa, so I'm flexible.

@Robeatics

A few that come to mine are:

@Blue Demon, who has Christine And Ginny, @Natty, who has Gabbi, @Culluket, who has Babel, and @Hellis, who has Broker and Runes. Those are only a few, but their cses weren't easy to find without some thread searching which is why I wished everyone that was accepted would've putted their CSes in the the Char section. If one of the people listed did, I didn't see it save for Hellis and Culluket for sure. XD I also believe @Turbowraith is joining next season and yet to make his PC, which might be a good choice in creating one that's a good option right off the bat for Lisa.

[Robeatics]

@Fallenreaper Oh man, this is so helpful. Thanks so much, you're great for looking all that up for me.

[Fallenreaper]

@Fallenreaper Oh man, this is so helpful. Thanks so much, you're great for looking all that up for me.

@Robeatics

No problem. I'm pretty good at making connections, both with my own PCs and others, so it's not a issue with me. Though some requests take longer than others. Like Ic scenes. XD

@Fallenreaper

Probably should have said something beforehand (although i don't think my CS was actually accepted as I never finished it :P ) but I honestly don't really have much time right now to join many more RPs :/ That being said if my schedule frees up more or something i'll give Gabbi another look and reapply! :) Apologies for any confusion!

@Natty

Understandable. I figured I pull some names out and put a mention next to it so you all can detail or clear up any misunderstandings.

[Blue Demon]

I never moved my CSs over since I figured because I was waiting for season two I shouldn't post them here. XD

If you guys want I'll put them in the tab with a note that they're season two only.

Also, I'm still up for planning with my two characters. Nothing has been established apart from Hellis' Broker and Maven/Ginny are connected.

[DearTrickster]

@Blue Demon If anything making these connections now would be ideal since there's a lapse. Brainstorming arc ideas and approaching others who are waiting for Season 2. Idk about you but writing a little here and there with a brand new character helps a lot to get a feel for 'em. Then when Season 2 does officially kick off you'll be that much more prepared with full steam.

:D

@DearTrickster

I, myself, am doing memories with another player between Benjamin and her PC Fenrir. They will end up being connected before the start of S2, which allows me room to determine their relationship and as they progress ICly, those memories will be inserted along the way.

[Hellis]

I also have Cabbie and Parasite.

Cabbie is in Lost Haven, Parasite in LA. Rune is in New York and Broker can be anywhere due to his power.

[Robeatics]

Cabbie looks super awesome (seriously, I love scrappy heroes like that), and I think it'd be interesting to see how Parasite handles an unrestrained empath. They're both really good characters, but I'm leaning more towards Cabbie. They could be good foils to each other, and exploring the power dynamic between world-level heroes and street/city-level could be fun.

Speaking of which, I feel like I should really specify Lisa's powers a little better on her CS. I don't want to be able to pull a bunch of powers out of nowhere simply because my CS is so vague. I guess now is the time for those changes since I haven't interacted with other PCs yet.

@Robeatics

My suggestion, notify the GM that your PC is an evolution based hero (which I did with Rach, mainly as her powers will evolve in time from their current ones into others) and in your current CS list the current powers, their limitations and such right now. Then, before you have them change or grow, pop the GMs with the information change and where at in the CS so they can look it over then give the alright or asks for changes. I've already done that with Racheli and NMS was good with the method which reminds me she'll have another power addition to her CS in S2 after this event due to Odette's actions.

This would also allow you to start off as 'street' level then grow into world level instead of starting off in a set power level. This might also be an interesting aspect to apply and explore creating a moral issue when she starts to 'outgrow' or push against boundaries Cabby might found uncomfortable and find herself struggling to help prevent Lisa from crossing. I'm assuming Lisa's world power, isn't she? Been a while since I looked over her CS. XD

[Fallenreaper]

Natural Selections Arc:

@Nytefall, @EnterTheHero, @fdeviant, @Gamerxz, @NeutralNexus, @DearTrickster & @Tearstone

Alright, here's the game plan. I'm hoping to have NN's, Trickster's and my post done by Next Wednesday. Gives us a week and few days in the event RL comes knocking, so I believe it should be enough to wrap that up. When you have time to spare, NN, let us know and we'll continue to wrap that scene up and post it.

Hero, you need to post that collab between Gabe & Justine before Thursday, which gives you plenty of time. As far as I was aware, it's finished and should be easy to put up within that time frame unless you two need to add more? (noted that Justine was waiting at McDonald's and doesn't know the location of where she's heading and should) If it's not done, you have until Saturday to get that done.

Now to the rest:

I'm aiming to keep the momentum up and keep this thing moving at a steady pace namely as we're nearly to the climax folks which means plenty of baddies for everyone to beat up. Gene Co, after determining what's reasonable, will be entering the fight between Cowl, his thugs and Odette after the clash begins. AKA, I'll let you all clash for a few rounds (posts) then I will bring in Gene Co which so we can clash for another round and determine what happens.

All fights/conflicts will be mostly winging but I want the focus to be mainly on the story creation which means Cowl and Odette will get away. For none named or any important NPCs, they are free game for shared manipulation in fight.

How I want to approach the climax is pretty simple: due to there being 8 players, and likely 8 or so PCS in the mix, it would be much easier to do simple posts for the fight save for collabs during moments of teamwork between a max of 2-3 players, including Villain Players. Mainly as a huge collab would be too chaotic and hard to smooth out with so much going on, not to mention none of these heroes have ever worked together so it's not natural they would suddenly work like a team. This would allow, too, each individual to get some ass kicking in and give the impression they are doing their own thing with little or lot of success. The over all plan, like who goes for Rach or holds off the goons or if they just leap into there, is up to the Players and their characters. With some luck and energy, we'll likely have this done by the end of this month at latest or sooner! ^-^

[Robeatics]

@Fallenreaper Yeah, I do like the idea of changing and growing more than just starting out Icon-class and not being able to move much further up from there. She is world-level, but she's so inexperienced with her powers that a capable enough city-level hero could incapacitate her for a little while. Heck, with her cuffs still active, any civilian can shoot or otherwise smack her cuffs hard enough to activate them, which knocks her out for at least a minute or two. She runs extremely fast, but hasn't developed any rapid reflexes yet, so she's about as fast and skilled at fighting as a suburban housewife. Just don't let any of her blows land. :o

@nitemare shape, does that sound good to you? It would just take a few minor edits to my CS.

@Fallenreaper

Will there be a post on your or Trickster's end that initiates this? I agree that a massive collab right now would be messy but I know personally I'm afraid to take the reins for fear of making another mess. I guess I'm asking for a little direction, maybe a suggestion as to who should collab with whom and etc.

@fdeviant

First off, you did great fdeviant with the last collab so don't think you made a mess. In fact you prevented stagnation which is a key killer of rps and arcs alike, so don't ever be worried about pushing forward as long as you 1. make it clear in the OoC, 2. wait a day or two for an answer, and 3. talk to me to make sure you're not stepping on my toes. It's pretty simple and so far, you've been a lot of fun to have in the arc as has everyone else.

To answer your questions: Yes, Tricks, NN and my post will be setting up the scene for the heroes and what they have to deal with. I have an additional post, which only forewarns of Gene Co arriving later, and gives structure to why/when Gene Co is coming. So base line outline for the to do list is as follows:

1. Hero's collab with Tear brings in Justine, who will likely meet everyone there at spot indicated a bit away from the Ironworks/whatever.
2. NN, Tricks, and mine sets up the scene you'll have to deal with.
3. I might suggest talking out plans, ideas or how/what you all would like to do in the scene in order to make sure you get to play it out in the arc while we're working on the Collab. The details I can give you is there's numerous armed military thugs, a containment unit for Rach (which she'll likely be in and unable to help), Cowl and Odette waiting for Gene Co to arrive. @NeutralNexus will likely give details on the box as well as the threats around it like his men, their weapons, etc. As for the collabs, think of it this way: are there any characters in the group of Heroes you would like to see Joseph team up with or Villain you want to engage with? If so, give a shout out to the player, wait 2-4 days for a yes or no. If yes, then create a doc/pad and make a small collab.

Another way of doing it would be if you see a pc struggling then give a shout out in the OoC for a team up or request for help, then write a small fight scene. I'm trying to keep this as simple but give as much freedom as possible as I don't like railroading or assigning stuff, unless it's to move story, because it feels over controlling.

The Heroes main goal, over all, is to get Rach away Cowl, and Odette and later Gene Co when they arrive. So a good idea first is to locate Rach at least and see what condition she is in, then next is to assert what issues they have to deal with.

[Robeatics]

Alright, made the changes! I've scaled back her powers significantly, so she can still pack a punch and bench-press cars and everything, but she's more of a city level Meta with a lot of growing room.

[Blue Demon]

You know guys I never received a yea or nay on moving my CS over since I pointed out they were S2 only. Anyways

@Blue Demon If anything making these connections now would be ideal since there's a lapse. Brainstorming arc ideas and approaching others who are waiting for Season 2.

@DearTrickster

Connections would be ideal. I've tried it a few times. Lets see if anything happens this time around XD

Chris: Chris is going to be showing up at Lost Haven just as season 2 begins because of what happened here in season 1. (And that's all I got. I figured if worse came to worse I'd just bumble my way through life the RP.)

Maven: Since I've been told I'm not allowed to set up my own City she's going to be moving into another one. XD At which point she would have established a small base over the gap between S1 and S2 and at the beginning of S2 she's ready to make her move. I'm still not sure what City she'll be trying to take over except for that it wont be Lost Haven. Because she's not touching that crazy with a 100ft pole. Also, Broker had a hand in Maven's life. It was more of the subtle variety. I'd have to go back and find @Hellis' post to remember just what sort of hand he had other then he pushed her towards being full on evil. Unless he remembers but it's been a while.

Christine Wilson

_{Theme: Turnin' by Young Rising Sons}

Character you have created:

Christine "Chris" Wilson

Alias:

Gargoyle

Speech Color:

Grey Goose, D1D0CE

Character Alignment:

Hero

Identity:

Secret

Character Personality:

Chris is typically a very happy person. She likes to look on the bright side of things. Her first instinct was to see the good in people. Not the bad. Nor did she like to be a serial doubter. However that doesn't meant that Chris is happy all the time. She has her ups and downs like anyone else. She's stuck in a dead-end job that she doesn't enjoy very much. It doesn't pay enough but she can't find another one. She's also just come out of a long term relationship that ended badly. But she's trying her best not to let those things hold her down.

Chris loves the finer things in life. She likes designer clothes and accessories. Whenever she can afford it she buys the better quality things. She also loves spending time outdoors. Some of her favorite pastimes are outdoor sports such as Skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. She also loves to go fishing with her family during summer vacations.

Chris is a very moral person. She's not religious like her mother. She's more agnostic like her father. She doesn't disbelieve but doesn't believe in an all knowing God. Or any deities for that matter. Though that's never stopped her from deciding on her own moral code.

Chris is also very much a family oriented person. She loves her parents and her siblings. One day she hopes to start a family of her own. But she hasn't had much luck in that department.

Uniform/costume:

Chris repurposed some of her skiing body armor into her crime fighting uniform. The top and bottom doesn't quite match, since it's made to be worn under other clothing such as jackets and ski pants. The steel toed boots she bought just for the purpose of crime fighting. One day she hopes to be able to make her slapdash uniform into something cooler looking, but she just doesn't have the sewing skills or the courage to ask someone to do it for her.

Images

Origin Info/Details:

Chris is the youngest of four children. She has three older siblings. She has two older brothers and one older sister. Her eldest sibling, Mark, is seven years older than her. Chris and her siblings were raised Catholic like their mother. They were baptized and christened. Devon is the only child who still practices. As far as Chris knows Mark is atheist and a firm disbeliever. And Whitney is a Holiday only observer. She only goes to church on the two major holidays. As for herself she's agnostic. She doesn't have a problem with religion. She just doesn't believe in God or any other deities.

As a young girl growing up Chris was spoiled being the youngest. She was able to get away with most everything. Luckily for her parents she seemed to come pre-installed with a fierce sense of right and wrong. Even as a little girl she found it hard to lie or to deceive her family. A trait that made her older siblings very protective of her. And surprisingly the only thing that Chris has misused. When she was young, very young, Chris found out about her particular ability to turn into stone.

Chris remembers the day vividly still. She had been playing outside and had fallen out of tree. She wasn't supposed to be climbing the big oak in back, but she had done it anyways. But she had climbed too high and lost her balance. She should have been seriously injured or dead. Instead she was fine. She remembered watching as grey covered her body. She remembers the child sized hole in the ground. She remembers the horror she felt as the grey retreated leaving her normal. But she wasn't normal.

Chris knew from all the days at church that people with powers were bad. God didn't give people powers like she had. So she kept them a secret because she didn't want to be a bad person. As Chris grew up she realized however that her powers weren't evil. They just were. It was up to her to use them for good or evil. Of course by that time she had come to the realization she was a teenager and far more interested in sex and dating than she was in her powers. Those were just annoying and something to keep secret. Boys and girls on the other hand...

Chris got good grades in High School despite the fact she spent most of her time chasing tail. At the age of eighteen she was accepted into a local college. She ended up dropping out after her first year much to her family's disappointment. But school just wasn't for her. She ended up working as a receptionist at a local furnace repair store. There she stayed for the next few years. She became very proficient at her job, but she wasn't happy. However despite that she was unable to find another job that would make her happy. Everything just kind of went down hill from there. She was dumped by her girlfriend, Lily, of three years. It was because of Chris' "lack of ambition".

The accusation hit Chris hard and knocked her into a depression. The dark mindset threatened to devour her whole and leave a stranger in it's wake. Until Chris began to follow the news coming out of New Haven. The first time she had watched the news from Lost Haven was about an event called D-Day where heroes, super powered people, saved the world from demons. After that there were news stories about those heroes as they foiled crime waves, robberies, anything.

And then the entire world was dragged into it when a cosmic entity tried to devour the Earth. Chris remembered huddling in her apartment with Lily thinking they were going to die. That they couldn't possibly survive. But they did. Thanks to those heroes in Lost Haven. Shortly after Lily had dumped Chris. All Chris had wanted was for the two to be safe.

Beer bottle in hand Chris found herself back watching the news weeks later. A mad scientist was trying to turn the world into metahumans. Chris had snorted at the screen dismissively. The man was a fool. There were metahumans here already. They were just like Chris. Deadend bums. No ambition. No drive. But she could be like those heroes. She could have drive. She used to. Back when she was young she wanted to save the world.

The idea slowly took hold and soon it became a goal. Chris cobbled together some old skiing gear and set it aside. She even went so far as to move to Lost Haven. Then finally, somehow, the courage to step out her door and become something set in.

Hero Type:

Brick/Muscle / Shape Shifter

Power Level:

City Level

Powers:

Gargoyle Form

Chris has the ability to turn herself into stone at will.

• Stone skin
  • When Chris transforms into stone she literally changes her skin into stone. This means her innards are still normal and not stone. When she talks about her ability she says she turns into stone, but that's not completely accurate.
• Stone Manipulation
  • Chris can take stone from existing statues or formations and add it to her body while she's in her Gargoyle form. She's able to dictate where it goes and what shape it will take. (See bullet point below)
• Morphing capabilities
  • While stone Chris can add more stone onto herself and use that stone to change her appearance. This can happen either by adding stone items such as arms, wings, armaments, etc. Or by making the stone make her look like someone else.
    Another way to think of it is that the new stone acts as a sort of second layer that she can manipulate at will within about a three to five foot radius (The radius is kind of malleable. EX: If she makes herself wings that can extend up to ten feet on each side she can maintain them even though they technically extend outside her radius. However in order to do so she'd have to sacrifice all her other additional stone to just concentrate on the wings.
• Increased Strength
  • While in her Gargoyle form Chris' strength is increased. She hasn't tested her upper limits but it appears to be about twice the normal human capacity. She can lift cars and hit hard enough to crack concrete.
• Increased resistance to injury
  • Chris can take a lot more damage than normal people while as Gargoyle. She's far more resistant to physical attacks and some magical attacks. However due to her squishy innards, anything that can pierce her stone skin is just as dangerous to her and normal humans. Also Chris doesn't have any healing factor. If she gets damaged, the damage remains even when she returns to her human form. She cannot use other stone to repair damage done. She can give the illusion it does (but it really doesn't do anything for her). EG: Chris loses an arm, she can make herself a new one, but when she drops the stone she still is missing an arm.

Weaknesses:

Gargoyle Form

Weakness in her Gargoyle form

• Stone skin
  • Her innards are still normal and not stone. If there's an attack that can penetrate her stone skin it will do damage to her.
• Stone Manipulation
  • Chris can only work within a certain radius (3-5 feet) without sacrificing stone for showing off. Also the more bulk she adds on the less maneuverable she will be.
• Increased resistance to injury
  • Chris doesn't have any healing factor as Gargoyle. If she gets damaged, the damage remains even when she returns to her human form. She cannot use other stone to repair damage done. She can give the illusion it does (but it really doesn't do anything for her). EG: Chris loses an arm, she can make herself a new one, but when she drops the stone she still is missing an arm. And will most likely bleed to death unless she seeks immediate medical attention.

Sample Post:

It All Comes Tumbling Down

^{Something That Could Be}

Chris could feel a sharp pain erupt in her chest. She staggered back a foot or two and looked down in horror. Bright red blood was leaking through a small hole in her chest. It was like the stone wasn't even there. Chris tried to gulp in a breath but failed. Her grey stone eyes widened as stone crumbled around her.

Away went her disguise. Away with her stone mace. Away went her fake face. Away went her armor of stone. All crumbled on the ground. Until all that was left was Christine. Her stone skin slowly disappeared back into her. As it receded color returned to her slight form. Her skin turned brown. Her eyes black. Her naturally curly hair began to move in the wind.

Knees hit the ground. Her body twisted awkwardly as stone got in the way. She ended up sprawled on top of jagged shards of it. Stone that had once protected her now causing her more pain. Chris's eyes began to flutter closed but she forced them open as foot steps moved closer. She tried to turn her head to look but failed.

A boot nudged her over and sky rushed into view. The villain she had been fighting leaned over her. The woman's long blond hair draped around her face like a halo. Her left eye was blackened but other than that the woman was beautiful.

"Just a little girl." The villainess murmured looking down at Chris. She knelt down gracefully next to the fallen hero. The woman shouldered the gun that had been used to kill Chris and placed it on the ground.

"Just a girl." The woman repeated. She brushed a feminine hand over Chris's face and looked almost in shock at the fact she had wiped away tears.

Chris's entire body was screaming for breath. For air. For the pain to go away. But there was no relief. Not until her vision began to darken. The darkness was soft and painless. Chris found it easy to embrace it. Far easier than anything in her life had been. The last thing she heard as she spiraled down into death was the villainess.

"I'm sorry."

Ginny White (Maven)

Character you have created:

Ginny White

Alias:

Maven

Speech Color:

White, 000000

Character Alignment:

Chaotic Evil

Identity:

Secret

Character Personality:

Ginny can only be described as a split personality. She doesn't suffer from a psychotic break. Instead it stems from her two lives she lives. The first is with her friends and co-workers. To them she is a very nice happy, talkative person. She likes to be around people and go out to dinner or to just get coffee. She's very sociable and strikes up friendships very quickly. The only negative thing you'll hear from friends or co-workers is that Ginny is a very busy person.

Her personality as Maven is very different from her effusive and charming side. She is foremost a very cold woman. She doesn't smile, voice platitudes or even engage in physical contact. She distances herself from everyone. She actively distrusts everyone and makes them jump through hoops to even earn a small crumb. Apart from a job well done the only other thing that gives Ginny pleasure is chaos. She often messes with people just to see the outcome of her actions. The chaos isn't regulated to just her minions. She also messes with the clients. She'll sell information to multiple people without regards of alignment, be they good or evil, she doesn't care. Sometimes for kicks and giggles she'll give information to both the heroes and the villains just because. She'll probably one day watch the world burn because she was bored. And she's okay with that.

She is extremely hard working in both her personalities and will never cut corners. She rarely delegates anything. It's a control thing. In both aspects she loves money. She likes the finer things in life and you'll never see her in blue-jeans. She's always dressed up. But she's never overdressed or not classy. Ginny can pull off a lot.

Uniform/costume:

N/A

Origin Info/Details:

Ginny's mother and father were poor. Not poor, poor but pour enough there was never any extra money. What was left over from frivolous spending went to booze or drugs. Needless to say home life was no life for little Ginny. Ginny spent most of her time at after school activities or at friend's house. Still there was a large disconnect between Ginny and her friends. She just really didn't bond with them on an emotional level. Whether it was from neglect at home or that she was far smarter than everyone she knew it would take a psychologist to determine that.

By the age of fourteen Ginny was accepted in Harvard on a full ride scholarship.She was accepted into the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program. At the age of fifteen she was able to be emancipated from her parents. At the same time she changed her surname legally to White. As in she was white-washing her past away. By the time she was seventeen she graduated with a MD degree. By the time she was eighteen she was accepted onto Axell Corporation's research division.

Meanwhile Ginny was already laying the foundations for her organization she named The Network. It started off with students she meet at Harvard. She would talk them into small things for her. All the while pretending she was working for someone else. Gradually the waters became muddled and while The Network new Ginny had been there from the beginning, no one suspected the young girl was the mastermind. Since Axell Corp. was also located in Massachusetts there was no need to shift her organization. Instead she began burying it in the seedy underworld. By the time Ginny was twenty it was well known that for a hefty price Maven could get you any information you desired.

Ginny's upward movement hit a snag when she turned twenty-two. She was arrested for embezzlement for company funds. Ironically it was by a dirty DA who worked for The Network. He had been making a play against Maven, not really realizing who he had moved against. Ginny cleared herself of the false charges and returned to work the next year. The DA was directly quietly to move and was never seen from again. He wasn't the last who tried to over throw Maven but he was perhaps the only one who came close even if it was from sheer dumb luck.

Over the years both The Network and Axell Corp grew. Axell grew into a world wide pharmaceutical company. Ginny now heads up the research division and only reports to the board. The Network is large enough now that Ginny is making moves to expand it into other states and maybe even overseas.

Hero Type:

Psychic

Power Level:

City Level

Powers:

Psychometry (ESP)

Whenever Ginny touches and person or object she can get a "reading" off of it. For example, if Ginny touches a door knob and concentrates, she can see the last couple of people who also touched the door knob and know when they did so. However not all readings are clear. The older the object is, the easier it is to get a reading. If there was a traumatic event attached to the object, the easier it would be to see it. The newer the object is, the harder. People are extremely hard and most readings are nonsensical. Ginny cannot get readings off charred objects (if nothing has touched it after the burning) or liquids or gases.

Eidetic Memory

Once Ginny has seen/read/smelled/heard/tasted something once, she'll never forget it. However it's not all active recall. She can "forget" things if she doesn't consciously think about everything pertaining to the subject/issue.

^{Prior OP for Ginny in another RP}
I never made this because I did my sample post for Chris instead! Check that one out.

Idk about you but writing a little here and there with a brand new character helps a lot to get a feel for 'em. Then when Season 2 does officially kick off you'll be that much more prepared with full steam.

:D

@DearTrickster

Thanks for the advice. I'm 100% not worried about Maven. This'll be the 3rd time I've taken her for a spin. I have a certain fondness for my evil villainess. On the other hand I'd love to do what Fallenreaper is doing and have inserts of events that happened between the seasonal gap with Chris. Because she needs the love. :D

I, myself, am doing memories with another player between Benjamin and her PC Fenrir. They will end up being connected before the start of S2, which allows me room to determine their relationship and as they progress ICly, those memories will be inserted along the way.
