Omega Man — Roleplayer Guild

@Eviledd1984 Yeah right now it just depends on the quality of the character sheet.

~KL~

@Divine Darkness I remember both Thundercats and Silverhawks [both were created by the same guy], but Tigersharks came last and had a lot fewer episodes. I tried finding them online but didn't turn anything up. Aside from the main guy though, everybody else for the most part looks pretty lame.

~KL~

Jem, MASK, classic Transformers, Snorks, Go-Bots, Thundercats, and of course He-Man and She-Ra I remember...

But wasn't Gummy Bears on Fox Networks before Disney got the Disney Channel, and wasn't that in the 90's?

EDIT: Nevermind I looked it up. It premiered in '85 and lasted six seasons into '91. I think I'm right about the Disney shows on Fox at the time before Disney Channel became a thing though. Looking back at the list I see everything but Voltron, but you mentioned the K-Mart equivalent of Transformers when you said 'Go-Bots' so you get respect points LOL. My fondest memory of Go-Bots was the goodguys HQ or vehicle  looking like an ATAT walker from Star Wars...

~KL~

I just barely remember the Silverhawks. And I believe I had Flashback and Copper Kid action figures as a kid.@Divine Darkness

I had the Quicksilver with the built on arm canon, Copper Kid, Hotwing, Bluegrass, Hardware, and Mon-Star. I might dare say that Silverhawks is the one cartoon that can compete with classic He-Man for my childhood favorite. I can't believe nothings been done with this property since the 80's! It's ripe for an anime remake, a like action flick, ANYTHING. Including an RP with an all new cast of 'Hawks...

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>This is the one true Zod:

Everyone else is just pretenders to the throne.@Burning Kitty

Pretty sure they gave him the facial hair in the comics because Terence Stamp looked like such a badass with it in Superman 1 & 2. Before that Zod looked like a cop without even a mustache to his name...

I stand by the REAL Zod. Accept no substitutes.

~KL~

At least use an image of the one true Zod... LOL

"This looks like home for the next few centuries..." Col. Bluegrass.

The Limbo Galaxy was in chaos once more. The Silverhawks, lead by Quicksilver, had finally met defeat at the hands of Mon-Star and his mob. Commander Stargazer was slaughtered by Mon-Star himself. The rest of the 'Hawks were laid to waste and ripped apart by the rest of the Brimstar Mob. The only surviving Silverhawk was Colonel Bluegrass, who was being protected in the infirmary of Hawk Haven. His body, like the other 'Hawks, was partly organic but around 75% to 85% robotic. The Silverhawks were all volunteers who underwent a process of being augmented with technology to withstand the effects of hyper travel through space. The Colonel sent out a distress call, and within two years Earth had another batch of volunteers ready to go. It's time to clean up the galaxy. 

Do space themed adventure RP's suit your taste? If I could compare this concept to anything it'd be equal parts Terminator and Star Trek with a dash of Space Ghost on the villains behalf. Should be plenty Sci-Fi for just about any kind of fan...

Silverhawks Wiki for additional info...

This RP will be loosely tied to the 80's cartoon it's based on. However, none of the other 'Hawks introduced later on in the series will be cannon in this game. The entire cast from the original series except for Bluegrass were all killed in action against the mob. You don't really have to be familiar with anything that came before beyond the basic concept. The cowboy, missing his robotic left hand, will be our mentor. The volunteers will need to fit specific archetypes to a degree, but nothing too major. I honestly just wanted something a little more sci-fi and less to do with superheroes despite a lot of similar bits here and there.

The year is around 2620, Hawk Haven is built on a large asteroid orbiting a ring shaped space colony called Bedlama that is similar to the ring design of Halo. There's maybe 15 planets in the Limbo Galaxy as well as several sub-planets and a handful of other Halo-like colonies. Penal Planet 10 and 11 are both also on opposite ends of the 'galaxy star limits'.

Archetypes:

Pilot [for Bluegrass]: the Mirage has been destroyed, so whoever the new pilot is will need to find a new ship.

Field Leader [for Quicksilver]: the 'Hawks would-be-strategist and most well rounded abilities wise.

Brute [for Steelwill]: the muscle of the group.

Hotshot [for Copper Kid]: the showoff with an edge [speed, marksmanship, special weapon x2, etc just pick one]. 

Sibling [for Steelheart]: the older or younger sibling of one of the 'Hawks.

Concept Hawk 1: in the cartoon later 'Hawks were introduced with gimmicks. Tornado control, altering time, and magic were all abilities seen in these heroes. CH 1&2 can be similar characters.

Concept Hawk 2: in the cartoon later 'Hawks were introduced with gimmicks. Tornado control, altering time, and magic were all abilities seen in these heroes. CH 1&2 can be similar characters.

___________________________________

If I can fill a few of the archetypes then I'll start an OOC and IC for this. Honestly the last several Hawks introduced in the cartoon were all gimmicky, so if we have more than two concept Hawks it's cool. At least one of the members of the team must be from an alien race of some kind. We'll take on some of the classic villains from the tv series as well as a couple originals tied to our characters. 

So c'mon people, it's like equal parts Star Trek and Terminator. The RP itself will be a bit more serious than the cartoon campyness of the 80's, but things like space taxies and the satellite casino owned by the android Pokerface are still gonna be around.

@cunfuzzler Do you care if I go ahead and let Batman drop in and mention putting a team together? Since you were looking around and leaving an opening of sorts? I know since it's a vampire Batman and a tech'ed out Catwoman the relationship would be quite different, but just having some sort of history is enough to start a convo between them... I can grab two of you [Catwoman and Booster] in Gotham and a couple in Metropolis once Bats gets there...

~KL~

So not possible while in the middle of a fight to just rip it off a face.

I don't think of spiders as ferocious. I'll think tiger when writing the fight instead.@Burning Kitty

When I said spiders I was mostly thinking about the size of the ones on peoples' spines, but ferocious in that they'd keep coming after you. A wasp or yellow jacket would've probably been a better analogy. 

@Renny Go ahead and work up a CS, you don't really have to know anything about the DC universe. The characters we create only have to be similar in name only, you can completely rework any concept as you wish.
