[OOC] Avengers: Heroes United!

[Hound55]

Likewise will stability points and earned interrupts be kept up to date IC or in periodic OOC posts?

[AndyC]

Andy, should we start putting things in the "Characters" section? Wasn't sure if you wanted to put something in the first post on there or what. Might be a good place to store the "clues" that we find about the Big Bad

@HenryJonesJr

That's a good idea. I'm gonna do that.

Likewise will stability points and earned interrupts be kept up to date IC or in periodic OOC posts?

@Hound55

Both, most likely. I'll make sure there's a tally in the OP once IC goes live, but I'll also post to draw folks' attention whenever there's a change.

[Master Bruce]

Eh, we had not-so-great quality at the Hype sometimes as well. Hell, I know I sucked when I first started.

@HenryJonesJr

I wasn't gonna say anything...

*flashbacks to own Nightwing posts in WOH Season 2, first year*
*eye twitches at the lack of spaces between commas*

[mickilennial]

I always feel like the new guy when it comes to this group, I swear.

[AndyC]

I'm gonna give y'all through the weekend to allow for some more folks to sign up, and then barring some unforeseen catastrophe, IC will go live on Monday.

[mickilennial]

Alright, looking forward to it.

[Hound55]

Sounds good.

[Taka]

I know I need the sample post. Got this far without my computer crapping out. Will edit later.

Player Name:
Kal-El

Character Name and Alias:
Thor Odinson the God of Lightning

Origin and Brief Bio: (Provide one paragraph summarizing the character's origin and the highlights of their career up to this point)
Thor Odinson has lived for over five millennia as a warrior for the Asgardian Gods. He stood a testament to their strength, willpower, and also their arrogance which led to Odin sending his own son to Midgard to learn humility. There he met Jane Foster, a woman who would come to be his lover, and he crafted bonds with many heroes. One particular hero would be Steve Rogers, who Thor regards as Earth's Greatest Hero and his best friend. Unfortunately Thor found himself in a harrowing predicament. He let his anger manifest into a warrior madness, an act due to Loki's tricks and losing an arm, that led Thor into a battle with various heroes including the Hulk. A battle that injured civilians and caught Odin's ire for his son's foolish disregard. Exactly one month later, Thor had returned to Earth but without his hammer. He had become unworthy and he would need to prove himself like he did many millennia ago.

Powers and Abilities: (Describe what the character can do)
Being a god, Thor is physically what one would call a powerhouse. Beyond his monstrous physical attributes, Thor has spent most of his life in war, garnering a vast understanding of strategies and tactics though Steve Rogers is still his superior. He is also well versed in most forms of combat, armed and unarmed. Lastly, while Thor may have lost most of his magic, he can still channel some of his lightning and mundane energy blast.

Brief Sample Post:

"Look at you. Weak as a newborn baby without your hammer." The red giant of man remarked as he placed a right hook on the god of thunder's jaw. A single punch turned into a quick combination of various punches. So much force packed in the red giant's fist, known as the Juggernaut, that sound of fist on face could be heard down the street. Earth shook from each blow and Thor could barely mount his own offense. For a moment, he could only imagine that this was part of his punishment for his foolhardy nature in the past. This thought process held control over Thor's mind and body, keeping him from being the man he could be.

"THOR! FIGHT BACK!" Suddenly a young voice rang out from the crowd of people that were watching the titans battle. It was the voice of a boy that still held belief in the god of thunder, a boy that knew of Thor's foolish battle with the Avengers and still screamed for Thor to fight on. While Thor may have hated himself for the things that he had done, he could never discount the love that people held for him. That love and belief was all a god needed to truly fight.

Juggernaut threw another fist but this time Thor caught it with his uru metal arm. His feet didn't even budge as he stood tall against the red giant. It was at this moment that Juggernaut knew he had chosen the wrong opponent. Thor brought a swift haymaker to Juggernaut's stomach, knocking the wind from the villain's sails and forcing to take a step back. Another blow landed in the form of a kick to the shins and then a quick step inward to get behind Juggernaut. Thor wrapped his arms around the villain's waist to hoist him up, bend backwards, and slam him head first into the concrete.

"I may be without hammer but I am still a hero. Lest you remember that." Thor said in a confident voice, axe in hand, pointing at Juggernaut. He was the God of Thunder but heart he was always an Avenger, hero of Midgard.

IC is live, folks!

Thor looks good so far. Once you get a sample post in you should be good to go.

[Byrd Man]

Hopefully I followed the rules right. I didn't necessarily solve the issue in one post, but I tried to set it up so that could be a solution.

[HenryJonesJr]

Byrd, I hope to god Howard's podcast is about how the Philly Phanatic is a serial killer

Also, if we ever get a sandbox game going I want to see that shit play out.

Also, also Cap will be on the scene soon.

[Byrd Man]

You'll just have to sign up for Turpentinebox to find out. Go to Turpentinebox.com and put in the promo code Phan1 in the checkout box for 20% off your first three months.

...

Yeah, I listen to too many podcasts.

[Master Bruce]

Crap. I took too long in writing my introductory post that I didn't see that you'd replied already, HJJ/Cap. I'll edit my post to acknowledge your presence.

@Master Bruce

You gotta be concise and quick, Meebs. We're changing the game up!

[Master Bruce]

I know! And I'm rusty! These kids today, with their new-fangled speed and their bip-boppin' ability to make concise and to-the-point responses...

Edited appropriately, by the way.

[HenryJonesJr]

All good. Maybe we should try and check in when we're writing replies moving forward? That way we're not stepping on one anothers' toes?

[Byrd Man]

Yeah, I usually have another tab open that I use to check for any new posts before I hit the post button.

[Master Bruce]

Right on. I'll be sure and make that my go-to move in the future. I'm not used to games where the replies take less than a day.

[AndyC]

On that subject, do we wanna get a Discord server going for this game? That way we can just drop a notification in group chat for when we're working on posts.

Speaking of, one more post is all y'all need to KO Marko, if someone feels like doing the honors.

[Byrd Man]

I volunteer as tribute.
