[OOC] Superheroics 101

[Shorticus]

Wait. That's his actual superpersona? Angstbomb?

I'm carefully reading all the character sheets to figure out which of you my supervillain can take in a fight. Just FYI.

Doing the same to the villains

@Shorticus

His EX called him that unironicly. Damn darkfae.

@Turnaround Amy

Then you're doing it right!

Pretty sure Thug could beat up the calculator. :p All the others might get dicey.

I don't like the odds of any of our group against the dinosaur. Not saying none of us would win, Maw is without doubt capable however the post-fight be be bad. I suppose conscious could also beat just about anything with an organic mind assuming it can in some way understand her.

Then again, I've not made the effort to go through everyone's character sheets multiple times looking for the various feats and possible X-factors, leave that kind of work to Wiz and Boomstick. On that note, since I have no idea if/when my internet will stop being, I'm going to go watch some lovely youtubers build a rainbow fortress in a town owned by a fluxed apprentice.

[Hellis]

Oh god. My RP's are cross pollinating.

[Shorticus]

Honestly, as far as superhero/supervillain duels go... I'm just imagining the raptor getting thrown across the room by a tiny Korean girl.

And running around in confused circles after the fight is over.

EDIT: Honestly, though, I just imagine some of the mid-fight dialogue between the superheroes and supervillains would be awesome. Can you imagine, say, Invader X having a chat with our resident mathematician as others are fighting?

[Hellis]

Angst Bomb is up!

[Drifting Pollen]

Angst Bomb is up!

@Hellis

Angst Bomb ahahahahahahahaaa! Goodness, we have some hilarious personalities around here...

*hides behind teammates*

[Hellis]

Allright. We seem to be going at neckbreak speed with applicants here ^^. I am super excited

[neogreggory]

When I read Calculator I couldn't not think about Barbra Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl. Or Oracle once Joker(I think it was joker right?) breaks her (legs?/Spine?) and she is bound to a wheelchair.

So of course playing and sometimes thinking like a villain I personally look forward to seeing a similar pain be inflicted on Calculator. Granted I also fear her, because while she on her own is about as useful as a blade of grass in a super battle with proper help, or rather acting as help with the right people I know she would dominate the battlefield.

Shiro of the guild Log Horizon is not someone I would like to fight, nor would I want to face a team led by any living Calculator.

@neogreggory

All fear the great and mighty nerd!

In all seriousness, though, it'll probably be a while before the teams actually end up running into each other. By that point, we'll probably all have an extra power point or two, which can have major effects on a character's skillset. And of course, the team dynamics would come into play: can the villains get along together? Do the heroes function as a group? Hard to make matchups when one RP hasn't even started yet :P

If it does come down to a fight though... well, I came to this site via the Arena. *cracks knuckles* I know how to play that kind of game.

@Drifting Pollen

It may not result in an all out brawl, but Phai's gotta visit her dad sometime...

Do the heroes function as a group?

@Drifting Pollen

Calculator could make the team function really well, but looking at these personalities it may be a long time before that happens...

[Song Book]

@neogreggory

Jhehe not her plan to rule the world through mind control. Hehe.

@Drifting Pollen

Uhh one question..

Did you get insperation from a show called The Librarians? I see some similarities between the red head Cassandra aand your Calculator...

[Foxxie]

My CS should be done for you, soon, Hellis.

Just hold on D:

@Song Book

Never heard of it. I did draw inspiration from a certain super-powered character, but it was a completely different one... looking at Cassandra's wiki page, the similarities do seem striking, but I can assure you they're pretty much entirely coincidental.

[Song Book]

@Drifting Pollen

Very Coincidental. I love that show so i drew connections.
