[OOC] Nemesis 13- Original Universe Supervillains

[Frettzo]

@UrbanEvolution, that's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about down the line, actually. I'm up to doing something about it. Maybe Dragonfly's blood has a stronger effect on her without being addicting or drugging her up the moment she drinks it. It could lead to some interesting teamwork while fighting the heroes.

That would also put him in a good position with Crow, as he'd be able to request things from her as long as he keeps supplying with blood when needed.

[UrbanEvolution]

@Frettzo

It's probably gonna be really addicting lol

I can see it getting to the point where he's literally telling her to fuck off necause he doesn't feel like getting leeched in the middle of the damn day outside of combat.

[Frettzo]

@UrbanEvolution

If it's that addictive, then that's very possible. Though Crow could find some mad scientist willing to replicate his blood! It'd be expensive, but then she wouldn't have a need to try to ambush Dragonfly when he's coming out of the bathroom or going to the grocery store.

Which makes me wonder, how to hell does Dragonfly buy groceries? He's got an unmistakable build and appearance!

Dragonfly doesnt live his life like how most people do. He moves around a lot. His 'home' is a small enclave he's built outside of Chicago in some woods, but he oftetimes squats in abandoned buildings or junk yards.

In other words, he doesnt do grocey shopping. He mainly hunts down stray animals in the night (in extreme cases, the homeless). Despite what the press says most of the time he doesnt actually 'lose' to Damselfly as much as he gets the fight going and then cheeses it. It's why he is yet to be arrested. At that point he fucks off to the woods and then waits for a while before coming out and planning another strike.

In other words, he doesnt do shopping. He hunts and kills in the night and steals what little he needs. Actually having a stable place to live at the start of the RP is going to be strange to him since he hasnt had since he was seventeen. It's going to put him on edge. He'll often prowl the quarters in the night and probably wont feel comfortable sleeping in the beginning.

Since he recieved the letter in the middle of buttfuck nowhere he's probably gonna move when this shit's over.

[Polyphemus]

It's funny you should mention that- how you received that letter is going to be something of a plot point. The people getting you all together don't lack for resources and do have a general strategy for taking it to The Coalition. Or you could all just ignore that noise, pile into a Toyota Camry, drive to Coalition HQ in Midtown and start breaking shit. It's up to you!

On a side note, go to the OP and check out the awesome title header SepticGentleman was kind enough to make for us!

[UrbanEvolution]

pile into a Toyota Camry

@Polyphemus

Fitting Dragonfly into a Toyota Camry will be hard.

Fitting Dragonfly and everyone else into a Toyota Camry will be harder than actually taking down the Coalition.

Then comes this issue of it being capable of driving and that hurts to even think about.

[Polyphemus]

But imagine the entrance you'd make, pulling in front of the building in a ludicrously small car and announcing your intentions to destroy the Coalition. Then spending thirty minutes getting untangled.

[UrbanEvolution]

Their first act of destruction will be removing the roof of the car.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here and trying to think of excuses that Benedict will come up with to explain how Damselfly 'beat' him with no weapons to the other supervillains.

[Blue Demon]

Ginny will not be apart of any road trips of they're only using one car.

@UrbanEvolutionGinny also has a hard time justifying loosing to Mixtape.

@UrbanEvolution

The solution is obviously for one of us to go full James-Bond-Villain and purchase a boat-sized 70s muscle car. Armored, of course.

EDIT: Better yet, the company car should be a giant Rolls Royce-styled Tank.
EDIT EDIT: A google search has provided me with knowledge I wish I'd had all my life...

This was a thing!

@Polyphemus

That actually reminds me that I've neglected to give any thought as to exactly who is recruiting all these villains.

[Polyphemus]

Alright, guys, so here's where we're at.

Right now we have nine completed characters. You've been very patient and you're all obviously very excited. I would absolutely love to include @Diggerton@Riptide@shaitarn and @Ghost Queen, but I recognize that in this hobby sometimes you have to cut your losses and move forwards. The four of you, please don't let me rush you, and if you've decided not to participate, that's cool too.

But as it stands I think it's time we move forwards and open the IC. It'll be up sometime in the next twelve hours. @Diggerton@Riptide@shaitarn and @Ghost Queen, if you're still interested you'd be more than welcome to join after the IC opens.

That is, unless anyone objects?

[Frettzo]

I'm good with moving forward. Besides, it'll probably take a day or two for everyone to post their introduction post anyway.

Also @SepticGentleman, I like the new header!

[SepticGentleman]

@Polyphemus I have no objections. Late entries can always work out fine.

Also hey, first posts should have us all getting to St. Louis one way or another so, I'm guessing air travel. But after that we just wait for your go to bring us all into the evil meeting room?

@SepticGentleman

We can do it that way, or just cut straight to the evil meeting. Whichever works.

[SepticGentleman]

Flights over would be a good way to introduce our characters internally, so I'd at least like to do those. After that I'm not picky.

@SepticGentleman

Might give us a chance to have our characters interact some too.

I was planning on saying that Benedict traveled by open train cart to open train cart over to Missouri and then legged it to St. Louis since Illinois and Missouri are right next to one another (and Shawnee Forest, where his enclave is, is like two hours away). Whatever we do, I can explain Ben getting there right on time despite traveling by foot and train over flight.

Since Ben doesnt have much reason to really be on a flight to begin with since he's so close, he could be one of those who meets the group as they land. Idk.

[Polyphemus]

There's no way Ben can possibly get on a plane, but luckily he's closer to St. Louis than anyone else except maybe Ginny.

[SepticGentleman]

I could probably just have Frank and his adjutants (and maybe some armed backup) drive over in an inconspicuous vehicle of some sort. Longer trip than flying but they'd be more prepared, which'd make sense given their occupations.

@Polyphemus

Private jets are a thing maaaaan.

Ginny probably just walked.
