Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

I'm not dead, just having a loooot of physical difficulties right now.

U N I V E R S A L ™

Yes, all of the stand-up-guyness is because I'm separating his Known History from his more secrets acts of villainy while he keeps up a public face, not to say he's all cackling and puppy-kicking behind closed doors.

BTW, any commentary on the villain I put up anyone? Questions, ideas, suggestions even for the RP generally?

@Weird Tales
I agree. You seem to be using the mythos without understanding the underlying themes and ideas, that being that if even one of these old gods would physically come here, that's it, we're done. End of story... nothing left to say.

@Natsucooldude

Well as a fan of both the Mythos and comics I disagree with that point in terms of comic book things since punching out vast unknowable world destroying beings is a tuesday more often than not. But regardless there ARE some things (Deep Ones, cultists, the Hounds depending on how our universe chooses to interpret them, certain lesser nasties, Nyarlahotep if it amuses him, the Mi-Go) That can be overcome or stopped temporarily or...not outwitted but survived depending on your attitude toward the mythos adapted to these comics. Obviously in the Mythos proper summoning Azathoth would destroy the cosmos and summoning most any eldritch being of unspeakable cosmic horror would be unstoppable, but if we want to use them some modification is acceptable so you'd then either have a story about stopping the summoning by some crazy cultists or I guess modify that to suit the purpose of the universe we're in so that he'd be more an Anti-Monitor level threat.

The REAL problem is that Weird Tales doesn't seem to have sufficient knowledge of the Mythos to work it in properly?

A rough outline for a Sandbox villain I wrote up as a scheming, manipulative but publicly beloved businessman/technologist/general scheming genius. He's meant to have at least some good qualities and generally never stop at least acting like he's a really nice, civil guy who just happens to have plans within plans within plans that often involve the other characters and himself and usually be pretty darned good at executing them, but we'll see.

Gilgamesh Sinn, Renaissance Man

Name: Gilgamesh "Gil" Sinn

Alias: The Modern Machiavelli, Carrion Feeder (detractors/smear papers), The Visionary, Prince of New Athens, The One Man Renaissance

ID:public

Powers: Gil has no superhuman powers or abilities, instead a prodigious intellect applicable to numerous fields, razor sharp wits and the immense resources and technology of the Sinn Corporation are his source of power. That said he's surprisingly physically fit and well-versed in martial arts on a technical level compared to the average businessman, but more for purposes of basic self-defense from a few kidnapping attempts over the years than as a serious warrior. In addition As someone who grew up around munitions makers and began his business and academic lives with weaponry he's incredibly knowledgable regarding a wide variety of modern and cutting edge weapons and he tries to remain fairly proficient in their use, though he generally disdains direct violence.

Known History: Gilgamesh Sinn grew up in a family traditionally in the line of coal mining and munitions factory work, earnest folks who still sometimes barely scraped by from day to day. Inspired to try and build a better future for himself and his family he studied and memorize everything he could possibly learn at first just regarding munitions and weaponry as inspired by his parents but later on about every subject he could get his hands on. He proved to be something of a prodigy throughout his academic career and eventually decided that money was even more powerful than the best weapon he could design and turned his mind to the business world as well.

Now he owns the factory his parents once slaved away in as just a subsidiary of the weapons manufacturing and design branch of the Sinn Corporation, headquartering itself in his hometown of New Athens. The fact that he was able to effortlessly ensure that both of them retired in comfort and luxury and raise pay and safety standards for their former workplace while still managing to increase profits was just a bonus. Already some of the Sin Corporation's inventions whether warlike or meant for everyday utilities are being compared to some of the wonders of the Museum of Tomorrow and Gilgamesh has promised to bring about A Better Tomorrow not just for New Athens but the world.

@The Kid LanternUm, so about this...

@Rin

Well personally I like it and approve.

U N I V E R S A L ™

^^^Sounds awesome. I figured I'd let somebody else name the colleges and such. I'm getting settled into my housing arrangements for the next week [I'm house sitting my in-laws place] but I'm around and will link the titanpad from the iCheck in this thread in case there's anybody who wants to chat about the RP or discuss things as they move forward. I'll check in on it every so often, right now I'm fixing myself a mixed drink, cooking a late dinner, and relaxing. Gonna get to work on the opening IC post as well.

Great, good luck house-sitting. If you want to PM me those setting details or whatever they were feel free.

Doctor Neutrino, the Size Manipulator!

Archetype: Size Manipulator

Name: Jonathan Lowell

Alias: Doctor Neutrino

Age: 32

Powers: Doctor Neutrino is a brilliant scientist who discovered a methods to shift mass in and out of an alternate dimension. Primarily this allows him to shrink himself down to incredibly small sizes by shifting his mass out in a particular way or grow to tremendous size by adding additional mass, though it also has other applications including instead manipulating density in order to become incredibly dense or virtually intangible.

When shrunken down, he retains his full human strength and capabilities and at giant size sheer mass and the ability to move it enables him to be super-strong. The Neutrino Suit also affords him a limited degree of protection in various extreme environments, though it is not necessarily armored or possessed of any weaponry of note.

In addition John Lowell is possessed of a genius if somewhat eccentric mind and has since used his powers to become an expert in all things small from the tiniest aspects of human biology to cutting edge nanotechnology he's assembled by hand to even the very secrets of the subatomic universe.

Weaknesses:

Doctor Neutrino can only maintain his giant form for about five minutes currently, full-body intangibility requires him to hold his breath for the duration of the process or risk suffocation. While he can shrink, grow and adjust the density of other objects, he must currently make physical contact with them in order for the process to work. Currently without his suit he is merely a brilliant if ordinary scientist. His maximum height is a towering 40 stories tall, but any larger and he risks irreppairable damage to his body. His giant form also risks considerable collateral damage if he's not extremely careful.

Alignment: Hero

Personality: [Brilliant, Fun-Loving, Eccentric, Caring, Absent Minded]

Appearance: John Lowell is a bit of an absent minded professor, brown hair often mussed and unkempt, labcoats and jackets often smudged, singed and wrinkled from numerous experiments or just from some force that conspires to keep them that way. He's perhaps humorously not a tall man, about 5'3" when not employing size-altering technology. He has the sort of face that smiles and laughs easily when it's not puzzling over some new task or the general mysteries of the universe, though nowadays his experiments tend to be very hands on and action-packed indeed. His brown eyes can be either reflective or merry but are generally warm regardless. The Neutrino Suit is bright blue with white highlights on the chest, shoulders and sides and it's generally form fitting, though Lowell is hardly an Olympian, the helmet is silver and the visor a has a slightly orange tint.

BRIEF Bio: For most of his younger life, John Lowell was a party boy from an extremely wealthy old New England family without a care in the world except distracting himself from his own boredom. This was particularly difficult because in addition to wealth he happened to have a rather prodigious intellect he felt he was wasting on his admittedly amusing life of leisure. Eventually simple hedonism and partying wasn't enough of a challenge for him and he set his mind to revolutionizing scientific fields, or so he told himself. It took ages of work but he did eventually have a breakthrough, discovering a method to shift physical mass between dimensions. He started building a suit that would let him use his discovery in order to explore the world at all sizes, but before he could do more than finish a prototype a notorious Boston gang leader kidnapped his now aging parents for ransom. Donning his new suit in order to infiltrate the building where his parents were being held hostage he defeated the gang and rescued his parents.

This helped John realize something, namely that doing good out in the world was more rewarding than both hedonism and the pursuit of pure scientific knowledge. Thus he took the identity of Doctor Neutrino, protecting both Boston and the world at large and having big adventures at sizes both great and small.

Storylines: If it's alright I'd really like to come up with my own storylines instead.

Notes: I'm taking some inspiration from Ant-Man, but also the Atom and for attitude, Ted Kord the second Blue Beetle but played slightly more seriously than Ted occasionally was used.

If you want it I'll PM you just a few details at where I want to incorporate a broader arc for the universe itself with some city destroying menace or invasion.

@The Kid Lantern

Sure go ahead.

EDIT: and posted Doc N's CS in the tab. Now he's moved to take a teaching job at Excelsior University in exchange for research funding.
