[OOC] The League - Superhero Sci Fi and Urban Fantasy RP

[Polyphemus]

Think I'm going to go with a nonpowered badass for my second char.

[Rin]

Mine seems to currently be a metahuman with tactile telekinesis, but... We'll see how that pans out. Really, just wanted to give them some manner of flight, so yeah. ^^;

[VitaVitaAR]

So here is the witch.

[VitaVitaAR]

So, um, going to introduce her now. ^^; Need to work out how.

[MrDidact]

She could show up in the middle of the training mission if you wish.

And I just finished the main entry for the White Fellowship of Sorcerers. Which took almost an hour. And is only one entry. Man.

[VitaVitaAR]

Yeah, I was thinking that, I'm just trying to decide how to have her do so. ^^;

[VitaVitaAR]

And there we go.

[Falkon]

Hey, Mr. Didi, with the Fellowship's rulebook being cowritten by the Faery King, I figured it'd probably be a good idea to ask about the Fae. Specifically, if you plan for both the okay Seelie Court and the evil Unseelie Court to exist in the game. Because if so, Changeling's origins would be of the Unseelie, and if not I may need to do some minor modifications to the character.

[LeeRoy]

I'm totally gonna enter this, I've wanted to join a good Superhero RP for a while. Just gotta ask, what's your opinion on aliens? Not that the character I'm entering will necessarily be one, I'm just curious if I'd have the option.

[MrDidact]

Falkon, well the Laws of Magic the Fellowship's "rulebook" was written by the first Elder Council. The Accords which are basically magic Geneva Conventions were co-written by Oberon. I have a basic understanding of the Fae, and I know that neither of the Courts are wholly good or evil but have morality that can't really be understood by mortals. I'm trying to draw this RP's version of the Fae from various sources so if I have any questions I'll ask. So far what I have in mind is that the Fae used to be united under Oberon but after his mysterious absence the Fae split into the Winter and Summer courts with Titania and Mab left as Queens of the Seelie and Unseelie respectively. If I have any questions I'll definitely ask.

LeeRoy, As I said before Aliens do not yet exist in this RP. Any discovery of the Extraterrestrial would be a monumental event and that hasn't happened as of yet.

[Rin]

...I might need to fudge quite a bit of the Lovecraftian stuff a bit, then, because most of it is pretty much "ancient gods of extraterrestrial origin". ^^; But I guess if I make them interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial it might work.

[MrDidact]

I was always under the impression those Lovecraftian gods existed in a different plane anyway so that would be fine.

[LeeRoy]

Less a different dimension and more outside of the known observable universe. Technically they're still within the universe, but they have technology so indistinguishable from magic that they can get to our world with ease.

[Rin]

Basically, yeah. If I remember right Azathoth was specifically at the center of the universe but I might be remembering wrong. ^^;

But yeah, for the the purposes of this RP the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods are originally from another plane of existence. Really, the only thing I'm a little worried might need more than a little fudging would be if the Mi-Go race ever show up, and that's because their home planet Yuggoth is most likely Pluto. XD But I dunno, probably easy enough to say that it was originally mistaken for Pluto and it's actually another dimension too. Maybe. Hmmm.

...My gosh I am rambling.

[MrDidact]

It's all good Rin, my fingers are going to start aching from all the crap I'm typing right now. You could always say the Mi-Go are from a different dimension too. I'm glad I have someone who actually knows all this stuff here though haha.

In this RP, all of those cosmic horrors are considered captial B Bad news by the Fellowship and attempting to summon them is a breach of the laws which often results in the Magus hunting down the sorcerer, beheading first, and asking questions later. So obviously the relationship between much of the Fellowship and the Eldritch Knight is somewhat strained to say the least.

[MrDidact]

And I just finished the entry for the Department of Superhuman Affairs, hopefully being an entertaining read, foreshadowing some of the threats we will fight against (or even play as in the future), and sum up how screwed up the political and social situation in America is because of the Awakening.

[VitaVitaAR]

So I'm kind of thinking about something I like the idea of for Charlotte, but, um...

Basically, would arranging a contract with a ghost, but not raising that ghost or controlling them, count as necromancy? As in, the ghost would already be there, Charlotte would have just found and contracted them.

[MrDidact]

Spiritual mediumship such as contacting a ghost is considered perfectly legal by the Fellowship, they don't have a problem with a spellcaster contacting a ghost as long as they don't start raising them from their resting places or taking control of them.

Just keep in mind that for the most part ghosts in this universe are only a shade of a person, a memory of them raised by the circumstances around their death. They may have a semblance of personality, but they aren't full-on sentient beings just a shadow of the real thing. There are sentient spirits in the rp but ghosts are not.

[VitaVitaAR]

Awesome! Okay. I had a few ideas for ghosts that Charlotte has contracts with, eh-heh.

Edit: Oh nevermind.

[Raineh Daze]

I have no objections to being the weakest. Invisibility and any kind of offensive ability is a terrifying combination, and I don't think there's all that much that could come in a package with invisibility, anyway.

So, how can I actually get involved in the IC? XD
