There are alleged screenshots, somewhere, somehow.

Allegedly.

Wraith hates Martians.

@Hillan

Wraith is known for two things.

1) Loving Dick.
2) Canada

[Sep]

well alrighty, my first post is up to join the rest. i'll be off in a few hours for the next week like i said. if i need to make any changes, i'll make them then. i'm looking forward to reading posts when i get the chance :3

@Zoey Boey

Really good post. I enjoyed getting to know Batgirl and getting a feel for her, and you really incorporated the world into it and gave a real feel for Gotham.

It's better when I hold the phone closer to my face, how is this? I took the colour straight from Hawkeyes costume in your banner.

@Sep

Whatever's easier on the eyes, bud.

I think Wraith is the same as me, without a stern contrast between the colour of the text and the colour of the Guild its just really hard to read and just kinda blends together.

I appreciate you trying to be accommodating.

I have been thinking of just trying to distinguish between prose, dialogue, and thoughts of the character using italic, bold, and speech marks. The way coloured dialogue looks is very aesthetic imo but I have never been very good at picking suitable colours that looks good hehe

Honestly experiment as you will, but I feel like there's no need too if you don't want too. Use of colours is just a thing very popular in these games.

Most people tend to pick based on their character, green for Hulk, Purple Hawkeye, Red for Flash, stuff like that.

A lot of people also colour code their supporting cast, it's just to make it easier/nicer to read I think. Though anyone that has a different reason, feel free to correct me!

Always find it interesting.

[Mao Mao]

I assume that the colors issue is about my post also. So, please tell me what colors are causing issues and I will change them as soon as possible! And if they need to be lighter or darker.

I have less need in this one. My Blue Beetle stuff had a fair supporting cast though... made it easier without so many clunky "X said", "Y spoke forcefully", "Z whispered", etc.

Kept dialogue at a quicker pace for readability... and let's be honest, the dialogue was the main draw card.

@Mao Mao

Yours is fine with me, it's all very light/high contrast. To put it how my eyes work, your Wondy speech and overall text are very similar in colour.

It's not a problem though :)

Feel like this discussion always happens once the IC starts in these games.

@Hound55

Yeah I totally get it. In some past games where I have a lot of self-interaction I've done the same thing.

[Retired]

How's Dark Magenta work for you guys, @Retired, @Sep?

@Sep

The shade that Sep used works much better against the dark background. I am not colorblind, so I can't speak in that regard, but just from a purely "does this color show up well" standpoint, the shade you used, Hound, clashes. As do certain shades of red and blue that have been used in the IC. Those more brilliant shades that people tend to gravitate towards cause the edges of lettering to 'bleed' and make it difficult to make out against the background without focusing.

[DocTachyon]

Been pretty busy the last few days, between work, a friend's birthday, and the actual mountain of X-Comics I'm trying to get through. Xavier post should happen in the next few days, but then after that I owe @Retired a post.

Really impressed with the IC so far! As usual, you guys are bringing a lot of talent and raw skill to the game. This includes old hands like Bounce proving that he has mastered child characters (and, apparently, mastered fleshy blobs of alien overlord), and relative newcomers like Zoey Boey giving us some quality introspection against a genuinely sweet opening post. Great stuff all around.

Also, I'm working on some guy as a supporting character. If anyone else was cooking up something for him, let me know and I'm sure we could work something out.

some guy

if images don't load for some reason: it's Wolverine

Look, up in the sky! Its a bird, its a plane- its a post!

@Cybermaxx

High Q score on that post. It tested very well with people who have furniture based surnames.

[Dead Cruiser]

Keeping my eyes open for an appropriate place for Doctor Fate to jump in.

In the meantime, I may be drafting a Driving character. How would we feel about Thor as King of Asgard? That's not the character I'm proposing, but would be important to it.

Related, is anything going on with Storm right now?

@Dead Cruiser

King Thor while not actually playing Thor would depend on the concept. We're hesitant too establish characters we aren't directly playing, just in case someone wanting to play them comes along.

@DocTachyon will know better about Storm but I can't think of anything.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Sep It shouldn't invalidate Thor if someone wanted to play him.

My idea was for Magni Thorson, Thor's oldest child and heir. Due to a potential threat against the lives of the Asgardian royal family, he and his siblings have been sent away to other worlds, under the care of Thor's allies.

Magni has been sent to live with his mother and stepfather, Storm and T'Challa, the latter of which he doesn't really get along with.

As a character I'm imagining Magni as mostly just being a young and impetuous Thor. A divine prince living in exile, and none too happy about the matter.

@Dead Cruiser

It doesn't invalidate the character (other GMs can over-rule me on this) but it does lock a popular character into a specific chain of events in order to allow a much more obscure character be written, while also locking Storm and T'Challa into certain events. If that makes sense?

IF you want to do the Impetuous Princling of Thunder why not just use Thor? Have him be at his 'Year 1' preset.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Sep I don't have a problem doing that, I just thought it would be an interesting spin. I didn't actually plan for him to be around Storm/T'Challa all that much, owing to how much he butts heads with Black Panther. He would mostly be a nuisance for Director America, who was one of Thor's closest allies on Earth.

@Dead Cruiser

I see where you were going with it, but we just feels like it ties up too many big names (while you may not interact with them often, the setup limits what they can do).

[Dead Cruiser]

I can sit on the idea. I have a few more irons in the fire. The question in the meantime is if anyone wants a golden wizard to explode into their scene.
