[OOC] The Other Guys

[Silver Carrot]

I got sick of waiting, so I posted.

[The Wanderer]

She turned her bitterness at the crowd into smugness that she was being a better hero than Mr. Whatshisface in this regard, at least.

@Silver Carrot

Meanwhile... two blocks away...

[Sigil]

Ole!

@The Wanderer

What?

[Sigil]

@The Wanderer @knighthawk

Characters who have not posted yet in the IC now have an opening. Game on.

[The Wanderer]

I don't see why not, but... are we allowed to land hits ON ourselves? For example, in a fight, you might mention a counter attack and enemy might make, but can we add on additional attacks towards ourselves?

[Sigil]

So long as it's fluff and flavor text, sure. If it becomes an issue, ie will alter story or isn't quite believable to npc motivation, I will send you a pm and ask you to edit. Sound good?

[The Wanderer]

Aye, alright with me!

[Joegreenbeen]

Is this still open.

[Sigil]

@Joegreenbeen
Sure. Shoot me a character concept in line with the theme of the setting.

[Predacon]

If this is still open I would like to pitch my character, Carl T. Ruth aka Doctor Truth. He’s a medical school dropout who’s become a full on paranoid conspiracy theorist. His power is that if someone has physical contact with him they develop one paranoid/conspiracy idea which stays with them for between a couple minutes to a half hour, depending on their mental fortitude. After the thought dissipates some sliver of it might remain in their subconscious, but that doesn’t happen the majority of the time. Other than that Doctor Truth’s only other skills is hacking and wrestling skills from being on his high school team. As such he gets beat up a bunch and has to be doctored by his older sister, who is an actual doctor and one of his contacts.

@Predacon
Still open.

I'm a little hesitant about your power set, or more specifically how it will play out in a Saturday Morning Cartoon style setting. It reminds me a little of the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight.

[The Wanderer]

Got bogged down for a few days with class starting- will get back on it starting tomorrow

[Joegreenbeen]

I'm thinking of doing a spy of indeterminate European ethnicity. He's down on his luck and and really needs cash, and is willing to do some pretty crazy things to make ends meet. On of these things may have been signing up for a medical study involving a magical octopus. (I'm having some trouble thinking up a character, so I used a generator. I found the octopus thing and it fit perfectly with the power I had in mind.) This lead to him being able to have his fingers extend 10 feet, become very floppy, and kind of sticky. After he has finished his business with his floppy fingers, he can return them back to normal. I've got some other details from that generator, like his personality and that. This is kind of what I've seen some others start out with.

@Joegreenbeen
The spy part I'm a little iffy on, but the rest looks right where it needs to be. The only reason I'm iffy about him being a spy is that these guys are supposed to be just starting out their careers as heroes; being a spy would give him access to stats and training that would far outstrip the college student and accountant presently in play.

Squid Fingers, though... good stuff. Draft me a character sheet and PM it to me, I'd like to see where this goes.

[Joegreenbeen]

Oh, the spy thing would be after he gets his powers, he wouldn't be trained in that field. My bad. ;D

[Sigil]

@Joegreenbeen
Let's go with that, then. Magical octopus experiment gone awry. PM me a char sheet, we can go from there.

And it you don't mind, a link to that generator. You've piqued my interest.

@Sigil

I stuck it in my sig.

[Sigil]

@Joegreenbeen
Character looks spiffy. Jump on in, I believe our remaining protagonist is about to get into a melee with the tazer-handed robotic Agent Smith.

I was going to post, but today was unusually busy. I'll have alot of time on my hands tommorow, my families driving to Boston. I think I might try to write on my phone. That'll be fun.
