[OOC] Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

[Sedjwick]

Unfortunately, I don't have discord, but I can shoot you a PM to work out the details (I hope having Discord is not a requirement for joining this?).

[Old Amsterdam]

@Sedjwick
Glad to see you're looking into it. Magus is definitely viable, since I see you're looking to Port him.

The Minutemen are being disbanded at this point, however, and are not an option. But like Eklipse said, there's plenty of other options. And we're more than happy to work with you on Trigger events as they are definitely a little odd.

And, of course, the quickest and easiest way to get things rolling is through the Discord, but feel free to use the OOC and PMs to us GMs if you'd like to not join Discord.

[Sedjwick]

Technically, I'm not porting Magus since I'd pretty much have to completely rewrite him for this. I'm just going with a similar power set. I'll get a PM out to you to discuss triggers and other things in a bit (kind of busy atm).

[Eklispe]

@Sedjwick Bear in mind that Discord has a web application that doesn't require downloading, but it is not required. Second-hand to that if you want to PM myself, Old Amsterdam, and ProPro we'd be more than happy to help you work out the specifics.

[ProPro]

@Gardevoiran You know I like the character and we've been discussing her on Discord, but there's at least one thing that's unclear or otherwise needs to be addressed. For instance, we have this:

Kendall cannot absorb tar that is not specific to her power,

soon followed up by this:

she can only manipulate her form to fit within the physical limits of her mass unless she has more tar on hand to work with.

How can she have more tar on hand to work with if she can only use tar made from her body? Either this is some sort of typo or needs to be explained in greater detail. Additionally, there's one important detail in the limitations of her Master ability, which is how the control manifests. Is it psychic? Verbal? Something else? How does she issue commands to those under her thrall?

Lastly, history looks good for the most part except for the very end. There's no "full up" on Wards from an in universe position. The limit is a completely arbitrary one chosen by me for storyline and gameplay balance, so you'll need a different reason for not joining hte Wards for the time being. Maybe a corporation approached her and made a decent offer to sponsor her as a hero, or she's scared of the government having so much control of her life, or something else entirely, but it would never be because "we're full up on Wards, check back later."

As long as these things are addressed and corrected, you'll be all set. Also, just to be certain, you were dropping Overlook as an NPC to make room for her, right? I'm a bit surprised you didn't want to drop Kyoshi actually, but it's whatever you'd like.

@LemonZest1337 I'd recommend giving it a thorough proofread, as there are a number of spelling and grammatical errors throughout the entire CS. That said, it's not so bad that I would even consider denying it, just something to watch out for in the future. I notice that she only has two skills, which aren't related to fighting in any way. That's perfectly fine, as her powers more than make up for any lack of skill. I imagine all she ever needs to do is just throw her weight around and clumsily smash stuff. But if she got boxing lessons? Hoo boy, that's when you watch out! Her strength is... Incredible. Quite absurd. However I am ok with it being as it is since it's just raw strength, and no additional abilities like anchoring herself or objects that she's trying to lift. At the end of the day, she is accepted. Just keep in mind that as a Case 53, she doesn't really have access to a "secret identity" or a normal life, her powers put her on the short list for a "kill order," and heads will roll if its discovered that she's the one who broke her husband so thoroughly. Go ahead and bring her on over to the Character tab.

@yoshua171@BCTheEntity@Eklispe@Lugubrious@solokolos

Hai guys. Seven day boop is here for the Wards and Jacks. (G is excused because OL is both unconscious and possibly about to become an NPC today anyways.)

If we could get those updates rolling out soon (5 days, to be exact ;D) that would be swell.

[twave]

So if Angel were to try and assemble a team would any PCs be interested?

Sylph

Steel tempest

"Silvia. Because I'm shiny. Like silver!"

Name: Silvia

"Sylph means air spirit!"

Alias: Sylph

"I think I am 18, not sure though..."

Age: 18

"I will protect those who can't protect themselves."

Alignment: Hero.

"I owe a lot to these people."

Loyalty: Protectorate.

"Y-yes I am a dragon, no I don't breath fire!"

Appearance: Silvia has a distinct draconic appearance sporting large wings and a long slender tail. She is easy to pic out from the crowd. Add her impressive height of 7 feet and gleaming metallic skin and you've got something that is basically asking to stand out. Her metallic skin is split into strips along her wings leaving small dips in between. This also occurs along her back, legs and the entire length of her tail which ends with a pointed white tip. The back of her head has two rows of horns that gradually decrease in size until they finally stop just above her shoulders. Her hair matches her skin, being a dulled grey/brown with silver highlights. Her hair runs down her back and in-between her shoulders. Finally her face consists of a soft copper colored nose, a smooth pointed chin and neon blue eyes that seem to glow faintly even in the daylight. She has a distinct C branded on the back of her neck underneath her hair.

Her costume is a white skin-tight jumpsuit that cuts off halfway down her arms and legs. It has two parallel cyan lines running from her armpits down the sides of her legs.

"I... I don't remember..."

History: "Wh-where am I?" Silvia said as she rose off the ground. She rubbed her eyes, only to be greeted with the sound of scratching metal. She jumped at the sound, looking around for the cause. What she saw shocked her, she had wings! Not only that but her skin was entirely gray, a soft orange light reflected off her body and she looked up to see the sun was only just peaking over the horizon. She wasn't yet sure if she was dreaming so she decided to try and pinch herself, but again she was greeted with the hideous grind of metal against metal. She tried to think of haw she got there, after remembering nothing it didn't take long after that for her to start panicking. This can't be real! But I, I don't remember anything! Was there anything before this? Why am I here? What have I done? Tears quickly started streaming down her face as she huddled up on the dusty road, wings trembling and tail curling between her legs. "A-a tail!?"

Silvia spent an unknown amount of time on that road, simply struggling to deal with the situation, sobbing and whimpering. She only looked up when a pair of blinding headlights zoomed past, making her jump up and quickly run off of the road. She looked towards where it'd come from spotting a city. It was far away, but it was the only landmark she could see. She quickly checked behind her to see if the car was coming back. After waiting for a good twenty seconds Silvia decided it was safe to move towards the city.

It took her hours of walking but she did make it to the city. By that time the sun was almost directly above her blaring down on her, but she hardly noticed. She was more focused on the dirt dancing around her feet, it wasn't much but it was enough to make her feel uneasy. She had stayed far from the road for most of the walk but etched ever closer as the first buildings came into view. She crossed her arms and folded her wings continuing towards civilization.

Silvia was very quickly called in and confronted by the PRT. When the officers asked for her name and she stuck a blank. she fidgeted under the blanket she'd been given not being able to answer their questions made her uncomfortable. She eventually gave them a name, "Silvia". She's spent the past two weeks trying to sort her life out, with the knowledge she has and the available materials. The only main decision she's been able to make was that she would help protect people, and maybe find out what she is.

Personality

"I will protect those who can't prote--. What? I can't say the same thing twice?"

Motivations: Silvia just wants to help people so they never have to feel the kind of despair, pain or fear like she had when she woke up alone on that dusty road.

"Everyone is beautiful"

Sexuality: Pansexual

"These things are great."

Likes:

• Quiet.
• Company.
• Birds.
• Sweets.
• Hugs.
• Blankets.
• Kindness.

"These things are not."

Dislikes:

• Fear.
• Arguments.
• Electricity.
• Torture.
• Guns.
• Skirts.
• Metal detectors.

"That's a mean way of putting it..."

Derangement: Silvia is a little unstable, prone to lashing out when stressed only to immediately regret her actions. This can happen over little things like an argument or running into a doorway. She also cries fairly easily from thing like scary movies. When using her powers she becomes more cruel and unforgiving as the winds get stronger. These changers are most notable when she uses category 4 winds.

Parahumanism

"I-I can do things other than be a Dragon."

Skills:

Sewing and knitting: Silvia has got a decent grasp of how to repair a piece of clothing, having destroyed many pieces herself.

Good swimmer: Silvia can glide through the water surprisingly well for someone with metallic skin and wings.

Good fencer: Silvia can work her way around a rapier, she's no master swords woman but she'd give your average Joe a proper thrashing.

"This is what the PRT people told me."

Classification: Brute, Mover, Shaker, Blaster

"I'm still learning."

Details:

Dragon skin: Silvia's metallic skin isn't just for show. It's highly durable, able to shrug off bullets and reduce damage taken from explosives. Her body is immune to the cold and resistant to the heat, capable of being rapidly heated and cooled without buckling. She also has a very low external body temperature, making her feel like cold steel. This coat of armor can be shed if Silvia sustains a large amount of damage or the shell begins to rust and constrict her movements. This process is commonly never done in combat and saved for times in private. Her body is left vulnerable for about 5 seconds before it starts to harden again. Any damage done under the armor heals at a rate similar to normal humans.

Wind buildup: Silvia can build charge levels during or outside of a fight, and for each level her capabilities dramatically increase. Category 1 are where her winds are at their weakest and can be identified as thin dust clouds. Category 2 the dust clouds thicken and Silvia's winds gain strength but she looses some control. Category 3 the dust clouds turn a haunting black and clouds start to gather in the sky again Silvia gets more power and less control. Finally Category 4, the clouds start bucketing down with rain and the air in close proximity to Silva gets cold enough to freeze the rain and turn it into sharp shards of ice. Silvia now has tremendous power but very little control over where the destruction is aimed.

Draconic Strength: Silvia is much stronger than the average human being able to lift roughly 2000lbs. She could do physical training to bolster her strength further.

Wind barrier: When Silvia feels threatened a barrier of wind instinctively forms around her, the threat can be as little as her being worried that someone is going to try and tickle her.

Category 1: Barrier is fairly weak feeling similar to a blow dryer. Blowing away things like dust or pepper spray.

Category 2: Barrier is strong enough to make standing near her difficult and could repel small animals and weaker humans.

Category 3: Barrier is strong enough to move bullets and knock people onto the ground.

Category 4: Barrier is strong enough to push cars and divert rocket propelled grenades. Ice shards orbit Silvia, slashing at people who are able to get past the powerful winds.

Mouth wind blasts: Silvia can fire powerful blasts of wind from her mouth after a charge time. To produce this attack she has to visualize air building in her mouth, this is easily achieved by taking a deep breath.

Category 1: Wind blasts have basically no wind up besides Silvia rearing her head back and firing but these blasts are barely capable of knocking over a fully grown person. These blasts are very precise only taking up the area of a football.

Category 2: Wind blasts take a good second to charge up before firing. The projectile would be about the size of a large dog. Carrying enough force to knock a person away and send them rolling along the floor.

Category 3: Wind blasts take 3 seconds to charge and the projectile is just larger than the average person. They are capable of sending cars rolling across the ground.

Category 4: Wind blasts take a good 6 seconds to charge firing a projectile the size of a car. These shots send cars flying and can tear a bus in half. This attack could kill at close ranges.

Tornado creation and manipulation: Silvia can create tornadoes after briefly charging up. Then she can direct them. Her barrier drops when she is charging these powerful attacks. Performing this attack requires deep concentration or blind rage. The easiest way for her to imagine it is having the air swirl around her slowly before she herself spins. After a tornado is made they go into a sort of auto pilot mode and she doesn't need to focus on keeping the wind spinning.

Category 2: Produces miniature 10 foot tornadoes that are able to trip up a person and lift small animals. Take 2 second to charge. These tornadoes can be directed in a straight line and travel 8 meters a second.

Category 3: Produces 20 foot tall tornadoes that can lift humans. has a 4 second charge time and can be slowly directed in a general direction. They travel around 1.5 meters a second.

Category 4: Produces massive 50 foot tall monster tornadoes full of ice shards. That can pick up cars. These tornadoes cannot be moved and take 10 seconds to charge up.

Weather alteration: Silvia alters the weather creating clouds and heavy rainstorms.

Category 3: Produces a moderate amount of thick black clouds and strong winds.

Category 4: Produces a large amount of dense black clouds, gale force winds and heavy amounts of rain.

Flight: Silvia can fly using her wings at a base speed of 30mph capable of accelerating her flight speeds using her wind powers.

Category 3: Flight speed is increased to 45mph, can strafe while hovering.

Category 4: Flight speed is increased to 60mph, losing the ability to strafe while hovering.

"Gotta find my limits!"

Limitations: Silvia's limitations lie in her charge times and maintaining focus. Not only do her attacks have delays, but charging up to get to the next Category take at least 0-5-10-30 seconds of concentration for the respective category. Charging must be done separately from attacks as Silvia has to focus on visualizing her winds becoming more powerful and cannot do this while focusing on her attacks. Striking Silvia in the head is an easy way to make her loose focus and drop a category. Electrocuting her also makes her drop one or more categories depending on the strength of the shock. She also sacrifice control for power as she increases her category, getting closer to being a walking natural disaster.

"A dragon with a sword?"

Equipment: Along with her uniform and Protectorate equipment. Silvia carries a blunt rapier style sword, fashioned from her own shell.

@Lugubrious@Solokolos We're now on day 4 after the deadline warning was given. Unless there are extenuating circumstances going on that you want me to know about, tomorrow is the last day.

[twave]

More dragons.

[LemonZest1337]

This one is going to replace the current one if it gets accepted.

[Eklispe]

@Ninja Feel free to work with us to fix the things I noted.

---

"He has become slightly insane" is a bit insufficient for a derangement. How is he insane? How is that related to his powers? Why does his ability to move faster make him act in a foolish manner and not care about people? If he dislikes rejection and likes social interaction why does he act in a manner that causes rejection and leaves him out of social interaction?

Also I think his weight is a bit low for 6 foot and being fit from exercise, though that's a bit of a nitpick

In terms of triggers he doesn't match Breaker either, though you could expand to fix it.

Also you have a friend in-universe with this power set already. IT can still work, but you need to be rather specific about how it works and make it different from this guy.

worm.wikia.com/wiki/Velocity
"Robin has the ability to change 'states' by seemingly altering the way time or physics work in relation to himself,[2] speeding up at the cost of reduced ability to effect the world"

As for his appearance, an anti-hero with no disguise isn't going to be stick around in that state for long, one way or the other.(That is to say being recruited by the good or bad guys, either of which has an interest in allowing him to operate independently.)

[Eklispe]

@Ninja I hope that I, and by extension, we, didn't scare you off. If you want more information about the world to help create a character we'd be more than willing to provide, given that most of us in the discord/rp have read the source material and are rather knowledgeable about the subject. It'd likely be easier to find the information necessary to make a character more fitting for the universe if you talked to us directly rather than trying to use other sources. We'd be more than happy to have you, if you end up researching all you need on your own or through us.

[ProPro]

@LemonZest1337 Ok, I've reviewed Silvia, and she's good to go. You can put her in the character tab, on the grounds that she's replacing your original character. One dragon Case 53 is enough. :P

[ProPro]

Ok everyone, this round of time is coming to an end. The Wards are debriefing the Director as to what went down on their mission, and the Jacks are about to get back to their own hideout to deliver the mysterious box to Broker. I expect things to go for another 2 updates, maaaaybe 3 but it's doubtful. All you out there that are not part of an independent team, be sure to get your adventures wrapped up, and we'll have another timeskip to the next "chapter" of the game (about 3 weeks this time) and you can post various "interludes" at your discretion.

For the main story teams, the deadline for this post has been pushed back an additional 2 days, simply because I had to rewrite the Ward section of that update. So it's 7 days from that edit.

[Spiffy]

@Old Amsterdam That's a scary villain you got there, well done.

[Eklispe]

@Sedjwick How goes it? Need any help with character creation or whatnot?

[Sedjwick]

@Eklispe Actually, I think I'm gonna drop out of this one. I'm involved in 3 others right now (one of which is barely active, but still), and I have a ton of coursework to deal with in school this semester, so this really isn't a good time for me to be getting involved in too many RPGs. Plus, I'm just having trouble even coming up with a good character for this. Maybe if this is still active in a couple months and I can think of a good character I'll give this another try, but for right now I just can't do that. Sorry.

[Eklispe]

Alrighty thank you for the information, be happy to pick you up at a later date if you feel so inclined.
