Omega Man

Marvels of Mountain City

Seeing that this still appears to be open and is oriented around a large group with a large cast of characters, I am hopeful there still exists room for added interested parties. With that hope in mind, would it be possible to cast another character into the collection, @Omega Man? Something along the lines of a more neutral path and dipping into hose things feral and mystical at the same time such as an incarnate spirit which uses powers of that variety? Do let me know, I did read over the thread so far once but given the raw amount of material, for the better of course, it is possible I may have missed something.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Let's see what you've got!

@Nightknight - CS needs a Potential Storylines category with one or two ideas of what you want to do with your character.

@Omega Man Should I clarify what equipment he uses, such as a sword, bullet proof vest, etc?

@Nightknight

Yes. lol

Marvels of Mountain City

@Omega Man Cool! Thanks! :) I'm not quite sure what archetype to categorize him, but I know what powers to give him. Should I post his sheet here or wait to post him in the new forum?

@Nightknight

Go ahead and post it here.

Marvels of Mountain City

Any thought on when we'll get started?

@Still Lake

Sometime in the next couple of days. I'll get an OOC finished up soon, and we'll shoot for a Friday start for the IC. I'm off Sat-Mon but I work long hours Tues-Fri.

Marvels of Mountain City

Still room for now, especially for an additional villain. @Nightknight

Marvels of Mountain City

Here's an updated list of accepted characters. I'm really looking forward to this and it's fun trying to figure out who might go into our first superhero team. If we even form one LOL

Huntsman – @Still Lake
Savior – @Metamore
Empyrean – @Ruiner
Enorme – @rocketrobie2
Harbinger – @Clever Hans
Noir – @Double
Kaze – @Kazemitsu

Pineapple Pizza – @The Bork Lazer

Marvels of Mountain City

@Omega Man So... is that an "accepted" then?

Also, I don't think I'd ever heard of Crimson Avenger until you mentioned them. Huh, there are similarities. Purely coincidental though as, like I said, I had never heard of Crimoson Avenger before now. My main inspirations were Batman Beyond (the Terry/Bruce dynamic specifically) and Philip Marlowe (a series of pulp detective novels) with a tiny bit of Constantine to give it that mystical/paranormal flair.

@Double

The OG Crimson Avenger was more like the Green Hornet, and was one of the original stars of Detective Comics before Batman came around.

EDIT: And yeah, everybody in that post of mine was accepted. I just haven't had much sleep the last few nights trying to get some things done in time for tax season.

Marvels of Mountain City

@Double Noir reminds me of the last Crimson Avenger to appear in DC Comics before the New52 relaunch.

@Kazemitsu I enjoyed this character quite a bit before, can't wait to see if he's any different....

@DocRockAccepted also!

@role model Sounds good to me!

Marvels of Mountain City

Hey, here's an offer to anyone interested: want to play each other's villains? I have room for a secondary character, and we're a little sparse on villains. If someone wanted, we could make personalized villains for each other's main characters - make the universe feel a little bigger. I think it'd be fun for our heroes to have their own little rogue's galleries, and I wouldn't want to play my own character's personal villain because then I'd be RPing with myself every time they interacted.

Let me know if that sounds neat to anyone!

@Still Lake

Remember community created sandbox characters are also a thing! Most of the enemies I mentioned in my CS will be of the Sandbox variety to kinda kick that whole thing off and give everyone at least a little something more to go on. Some quick details about some of them....

Asylum - Ever see the tv series Legion? Or check out the Doom Patrol series featuring a character called Crazy Jane? Here's something more recent... has anyone seen Split? Asylum is a man with multiple personality disorder, and similar to Legion and Jane each of his personalities has a different superpower. He could have a personality and power to go up against any and every hero if need be. And if we have any early dropouts... their characters may become part of the Asylum.

Ax-Man - This guy's gonna have a history with my guy whenever I decide what his backstory will be. Essentially a serial killer with a healing factor.

Heartbreaker - This woman can control any male human or animal. Just a word can enslave any man to her will. She's one of the more successful bank robbers on the eastern coast.

the Valentine Gang - All around bag guys with their hands into just about everything from weapons trafficking to kidnapping and extortion. So far none of them have been seen using any sort of powers. What began as three boys and their sister with heart tattoos turned into a gang of roughly 30-40 criminals to varying degrees.

Mountaineer Newspaper - Their Editor in Chief will be something like J. Jonah Jameson and use his paper to trash any hero he can. After his son couldn't be saved years earlier by the superheroes of the city [he died when a building collapsed], the Editor will claim none of them are good enough for the people. He will also spin the truth and claim the heroes are breaking as many laws as the criminals.

^^^ If anybody wants to help me develop any of those for the sandbox of characters players can use let me know!

God the biggest chunk of the serious rework done on Dr. O'Hara. He's meant to be the ultimate wildcard, showing up in people's storylines to be a source of chaos. I'm working on balance, I don't want his personal storyline to be anything much bigger than adding weirdness and existential feelings, bouncing between perceptions, and be the source of some interesting conflicts. It's just hella late right now and I've been slugging at that for awhile. Going to finish it up tomorrow.

@Ruiner

I can't wait to see what you've got! The images you used earlier made me think of some type of energy being that's human body died in space. Something like a cosmic Negative Man [from the Doom Patrol]. Depending on what you roll with I may use a cosmic character as a Secondary.
