[OOC] Complexity Threshold: A Superhero RP

[Sep]

@Milkman and @Dead Cruiser, character accepted.

I did want to ask though, since Casey's mother was the previous bearer of the mark, was she a superhero? I think it would be interesting if she was, and also went by the name Galaxion, but after giving birth to Casey, Galaxion 'vanished'. When Casey starts being a superhero, people will recognize him as a younger, male version of Galaxion, and will start calling him "Galaxy Boy", until he publicly tells people to stop calling him that. At least, I think it would be interesting since there are a lot of female superheroes who are 'derived' from male superheroes, but not that many who are the other way around. If Mrs. Nakamura was the previous Galaxion, I might say that she was offered a spot in the Dream Corps., whether she accepted or not is up to you, Dead Cruiser. After her powers went away, the appearance of a new Galaxion would really pique the interest of the Dream Corps.

I've finished the first two Dream Corps. members, Justice and Kingfisher, and am still working on the others. Pacifist is partially filled in but not complete yet. In addition to Lorne Industries as offered by @Sep, Kingfisher's company, Crown Heavy Industries is also open for any tech related tie-ins. I actually want @Rin's Zeta to maybe be part of a collaboration project between Crown Heavy Industries and Dr. Coscarelli, with permission of course.

@Stern Algorithm

Perhaps even a bit of Lorne in @Rin (But thats more optional) as it is possible he designed a security system without knowing what it was for.

ThunderTech, the company of Thunderbolt anyone can really play with but since Lorne bought the building and Thunderbolt disappeared it's not been in the best condition.

That's actually an interesting idea. We can go with Casey's mother having been the previous (and first) Galaxion. She likely started in 2020, at the age of sixteen, and then retired after giving birth to Casey thirteen years later. Galaxion would have then been missing for sixteen years until Casey's debut, so I'm not sure how many people would remember his mother enough to associate him with her.

Casey's lineage is very proud, and his mother was likely the black sheep of the family for some time for becoming a superhero. Her happy-go-lucky nature kept her from feeling too shamed by her family to quit, though. Casey gets his attitude (and his looks) from his mother. However, because of the great work she did as one, she reconciled with the family, and they far more readily accepts Casey's heroics.

She probably joined the Dream Corps later in her career, but stayed a loosely-affiliated member.

Time to sit and wait impatiently for this to start.

[Stern Algorithm]

Hey all, sorry for being AWOL all day, today was a bit busier than usual. I want to get a few more of the major heroes up and at least the first villain you guys might be encountering before we start the RP. I'll try to get it started in around 3-5 days depending on how long it takes me to finish the characters. Please sit tight until then.

@Dead Cruiser

OK, that's cool, though anyone 25 or older probably remembers the first Galaxion. Character accepted.

@Stern Algorithm

I am gonna work on a hero who is bit of a bigshot. Though I'd recommend having applications open as usually not everyone from the int chk comes over for the OOC :P

@Sep

It's fine, I'm more used to small groups anyways, so losing a few here and there before anything has started yet doesn't bother me much.

Just checking.

Also will all your chars be PCs or P-NPCS?

Cause theres quite a few :P

Also you could always PM me or another villain player if you want a lead villain. Unless you got a plan.

[Stern Algorithm]

What's a P-NPC, and how is it different from a PC?

I've got a plan. A good villain always has a plan. But yeah, I'll definitely be sure to touch base with you when something's going down.

P-NPC is a player NPC, they aren't a real character but unlike most NPCs if they do anything it is controlled by one person.

[Rin]

...So like a regular NPC, then? Since most NPCs are controlled by the GM unless stated otherwise. ^^;

Anyways, um, was out for most of yesterday and ended up sleeping really early and kind of have stuff to do today so I'll look through the stuff that was aimed at me later I guess. ^^;

@Rin

Not really, sometimes I have support chars who are NPCs.

[Rin]

Well, by the person who made them I mean. Still kind of half out of it right now. ^^;

I also sometimes make NPCs that I let others use :P That's why I class them differently.

@Sep

So basically a secondary player character that is controlled by that player next to its main character?

@Milkman

Nah as there is less development and as I see it P-NPS are like the sidekicks you don't learn as much about. Like Ron and Hermione. You see everything from Harrys point of view, but they're always there.

[Sep]

Will work on my Hero concept(s) tomorrow, during lunch hopefully.

[Stern Algorithm]

I guess they're P-NPCs, I'm gonna use them to push the plot along but character development will mostly be for the player's characters. I'm not really sure how to work NPC's, letting other players control characters unless those characters are so insignificant as to not matter. Or maybe I'm a control freak.

@Stern Algorithm

You're the GM, your word is law :P

The heroes I'll be creating will be designed around more of rescuing people than fighting crime. Thinking I'm going to go with the name "International Rescue" just for kicks xD

[VitaVitaAR]

Need to work on my villain, mostly her backstory is where I'm getting caught up now.

[Stern Algorithm]

Sorry for the delay, I'll get the IC started tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I realized I don't need to finish every NPC to start.
