@Yin Jingshin If it means easing the minds of my fellow Rpers in this Thread, I'm willing to compromise a bit. But I feel as if you (Yin) want Ara to be, for the majority of his fights, on the downhill. What exactly is your vision of Ara and his weakness to this common metal?

With the Splinter Group or Champion's resources I'm sure they could acquire some once they discover what God Fist's weakness is.

I know its a rare metal but with the few people that have interest in it, I'm sure there will be plenty to cripple God Fist with. To reassure you even more, you should know that God Fist will not know that Tellurium is his weakness during the start of this RP. I would like for it to be contained in Champion's database but I'm fine if a few of the Splinter Group knows as well.

I don't usually take the opinions of my fellow Rpers on my characters, but I must admit that I'm enjoying the teamwork.

In addition to the kryptonite, what if your char has a limited threshold on his 'cosmic battery' before he's drained of his power? Additionally, his stronger feats such as the 100+ ton plus can only happen under times of great stress or emotional discharge

@dragonmancer I'll take the emotional limiter into consideration.

I guess Poly will be the deciding factor in all of this.

I don't want to be a damper on your party but... There was a slight expectation in me that this was supposed to be around street-level characters and not city-busters? We already have a dragon and then basically a god who wants to come to the party, so we'd have two people easily trampling buildings easily like whilly-nilly. I'm not sure what but I dont think we're facing Galactus anytime soon or an alien invasion so both of those characters are overpowered for the situation we're in. The only feasible character that has the slightest chance of winning is Caden's augmented character, due to his various enhancements and still he'll lose almost 10/10 times even against base form of Lancelot and not to mention the God Fist character. The rest of the cast is useless in fighting the other two even with everyone pitted against them.

Either way, my two cents on the things but yeah. Rare metals, emotional limiters and anything else wouldn't be able to do anything to stop even 500 lbs of force coming onto your body and completely decimating you with Mach 1+ speed almost instantaneously. Too fast to catch and too strong to hold down for any physical limiters to accurately be used either way. Comparing our strongest character from the two, Poly's character couldn't take that and Yin's character's rapid regeneration wouldn't help with his whole body decimated in one blow. If we are going to accept two characters of this caliber, I'm going to reconsider about my character abilities so they don't become collateral in just the mere shock waves.

@WanderingSpirit yeah I'm not to sure how strong Lancelot should be, I put those stats in and I'm waiting for the thoughts on the gm to see if it should be nerfed. And the dragon form is only used when necessary, because otherwise its too dangerous for civilian and allies to be around, let alone cities. But that brings up a good question.

@MrDidact@Polyphemus

What are the levels of how strong the villains would be?

Edit: I also had a thought that at some points for events or when Lancelot does need to turn into a dragon, kilgarrah takes over so the team now has to neutralize him.

@Renny Well in all honesty his character defies classification under the traditional archetypes because as far as the world knows, there are no aliens. Depending on the exact nature of his cosmic heritage he may be more supernatural however. There's a tradition of cosmic supernatural beings in mythology such as eastern dragons and lovecraftian horrors. If he's unaware of his true heritage he could believe he is metahuman, but otherwise he defies the traditional categories. I'd also consider lowering his reaction speed. His strength and flying speed is one thing but since this RP can feature player vs player, the other players should at least be able to get the first shot in if they're skilled enough. If someone makes a speedster it's generally understood that they're not strong to balance out the game.

@WanderingSpirit Much like the real comics there are a variety of characters of multiple levels and believe me when I say that Poly and I will try to keep the game balanced as much as possible in the IC. And there are different kinds of power besides physical, I'm sure there are energy or attack based characters, magic characters, psychic characters, and what not who could knock God Fist out of commission if they're good enough. Your character could defeat God Fist with the right applications of his power.

@dragonmancer Villains in the game range from anywhere from Joker level physical strength to Doomsday and they're all legitimate threats. I'm going to go ahead and say God Fist is the absolute ceiling for physical strength levels in PCs.

@Renny Your character is pretty OP that's for sure. But a kriptonite type weakness could be a good answer. But instead of it being some kind of strange space mineral, how baout it's something more common, like Iron? (It doesn't have to be Iron) I'm just thinking it could be itneresting for him to have to deal with losing his powers fairly often, and working his way to getting them back. Or perhaps he has to be in direct sunlight? They say superman's powers are tied to the sun, the more sun he gets, the stronger he is. Perhaps being in the shade severely ddecreases your power, while at night you have none at all. Could be a good compromise?

The sunlight thing could that @Yin Jingshin brought up could be and interesting in dynamic with my character who can only use her powers in dim - to pitch darkness. She also keeps smoke bombs to generate darkness when none are readily available. So maybe he could have a way of generating artificial light. Just an additional thought.

I was thinking that if this more a street level type of Hero RP that I could submit a less powerful Character than Friction if that is the case

I can't speak for them, but considering Didact is ok with the dragon and God Fist and said the heroes come in varying levels of power, I think she should be ok.

@RumikoOhara You're welcome to submit another character if you wish but your concept is fine. I'm ok with the concept of the dragon and God Fist, I have participated in RPs with characters of vastly differing power level. But it is our job as the GMs to make sure the game offers equal challenge to all players and that the game is balanced, and that's what we're trying to do.

@arca9 It's a good sheet, the only thing I need clearing up is if she's supernatural what is the specific origin of her powers? I'd just like some clarity on that.

Alrighty, folks, for starters I'd like to thank all of you for conducting this disagreement in a civil and constructive fashion. I've seen too many RPs where this kind of argument would devolve into the online equivalent of a shouting match, and I'm very glad to see everyone here is above that!

@Renny
I think the tellerium weakness is a good compromise. Thank you for being flexible! In addition to that, I would say that his youth and inexperience count as weaknesses as well. You're in, with the understanding that you're not going to play God Fist as some kind of invincible Mary Sue (not that I think you will, just want to make my expectations clear). I guess the onus is on me and MrD to make challenging, creative villains.

@RumikoOhara
That's a very creative power! I can honestly say I've never seen that one before. Consider yourself accepted, unless you put something batshit insane in the rest of her backstory.

If you're still working on character sheets, don't fret! Plenty of time, just let me or MrD know when they're ready.
