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

[FacePunch]

Has Tartarus Island been used for anything?

[VATROU]

I need to get back into the swing of things. Now that the Guild is running normally. Though I'm not sure what I'll do with Ramsey. He still needs to develop more, and the best way to do that is to bruise and batter his ego. And the easiest way to do that is for him to face a opponent stronger than himself. I was going to use a hitman for that. But maybe a Colab would help as well. Or I could go with a new character. But I don't think I'm quite ready to scrap Ramsey yet. Perhaps I'll see how things go.

VATROU

Tell you what, work for the Cowl and he'll run into all manner of super-villany. Oh, I also may have another villain in the works...what are we missing in terms of threats, galactic monstrosity, or world-conquerer?

NeutralNexus

I could I certainly could. Although Ramsey isn't a Evil character motivated by money. He's more. I'm incredibly bored let's go start some trouble kinda character. Although he doesn't mind killing a few people now and then especially if they are villains. Make him an offer though and he mind consider doing a few jobs. Might be a way to get him more involved in the various archs indirectly. Anyways I'm still not ready to get a post out, need more time than I have today.

[VATROU]

I have to say FacePunch. I don't think Ramsey and Chike will get along. Mainly because Ramsey calls himself Ares, to Mock Iron Knight and the Greek Gods. Though he has no particular attachment to the name. So chances are he'll fight you eventually.

[Dedonus]

While I will let building a shrine of Ares slide because no one likes Ares (my idea was that at the emergence of the "modern" religions, the Athanatoi decided to cease from interfering with human affairs unless something in the past that they did has come back around to bite Earth in the butt), I'm not quite sure how I feel having Hephaestus helping Ares build his "shrine". Ares was the jerk who banged Hephaestus' wife (Aphrodite).

[FacePunch]

This is my line of thought: Ares and Hephaestus are two of the more rejected Greek gods. Neither of them had many public shrines, and the other gods and goddesses tended to treat them poorly. Such as when Hera chucked Hephaestus to the earth and broke both his legs; and or when Hephaestus dragged Ares and Aphrodite naked to the gods. They were both humiliated, ridiculed, and underestimated often; Hephaestus by the other gods, and Ares by both the gods and men. When the Greek gods fell out of humanity's favor, Ares approached Hephaestus with a convoluted plan to gain them the worship they each truly deserved. The two of them would work together to bring the gods back into mankind's favor. Of course, a few decades into their relationship, they started to argue and fight. A lot. The only person keeping the union together is Chike, who acts as a diplomat of sorts when the two bring up their conflicts of old. That's what I was thinking when I made the two supporting characters for Polemos.

VATROU

Yeah. I don't see Ares letting Chike sit by and let some metahuman walk around mocking the God of War. The future crossovers are real.

Sounds like fun. I awaits the day Ramsey faces off against him. Though I hope he has his act together by then, because he won't go down easy.

Well, its fine. Just note that the other Olympians might not be so happy with them when they find out. ;) The other thing I was worried about was how this would affect my hero - god(s) pairs that I have so far established. Right now they are: Raptor / (Wasp) - Zeus / (Hera) Arachne - Athena Iron Knight - Aphrodite / Hephaestus I just wondered how Ares/Hephaestus' actions would affect these pairings (especially the last one).

I'll be looking forward to the drama that will follow. :P Hrm. What have you done with Iron Knight's pairing so far? Because if Hephaestus' actions that you've written are radically different from what I've done/plan to do, I could pull some strings. Maybe pull the whole "But he's not the REAL Thanos!" trick that Marvel uses. A clone, a masquerader, or another god entirely. Perhaps he's Vulcan, looking for revenge against Hephaestus for stealing his thunder? I dunno. We can think of something.

He hasn't done much actually (although there might be something in this post). Hint Hint. Also, @The Fair Lady: The Greek Athanatoi might want to have a word with Mercy. But they have some things of more dire interest to take care of first.

Mmm. I see..

[FacePunch]

Shorter than the original post (by six hundred words), but I hope it was of equal (or better) quality. I think I'll wait for some more posts to pass before I continue his origin arc..

[nitemare shape]

Had some computer problems last night, it seems to be fixed and I'll see about getting a post up soon. I should have something up in the next day or so.

Alright, thanks for the info.

[Robeatics]

Almost done with a post, should be up tomorrow.

[FacePunch]

What have we established about the LHPD so far? Because I'd be interested in eventually creating some sort of detective/SWAT officer in the future. Also, it'd just be a generally good idea to keep the important elements of Lost Haven uniform in nature. We don't want two different people to mention two different uniform colors when they describe the police.

@FacePunch

LHPD are pretty much your standard police force. Though, the tactical units would be in black, so yeah...your typical police force.

@nitemare shape

Alrighty. I guess I'll just use the NYPD as a point of reference, since they seem to be the considered the most standard. I was just asking because around where I live the uniformed officers wear black instead of blue. No idea about SWAT, though.

[Robeatics]

Posted. Forgive the crappy banner, I'll work on something better when I can find a better creator.
