Alright. Lets get this ball rolling again. You're up Sheik.
Six watched the Yuan-ti as he spoke, watched the emotion flicker across his face in mannerisms almost entirely alien to his more human-centric experiences. He'd have to make a point of learning how to read this one, though for now the tone of voice and vocal inflections were a pretty good indicator. When he finished and held out his hand, Six pushed off his ship to stand wholly on his own two feet, but didn't yet uncross his arms.
"I can't promise you the first shot at Gortex. My list is full of people with a grudge against him, and most of them want his head as badly as you do. I'm not going to pretend to be their master any more than I am yours, so if one of them beats you to it, that's life I'm afraid." He took another step forward and uncrossed his arms. "That said, a team needs cohesion. I need to be able to trust that when the shit hits the fan, you can be relied on to follow my lead. You're not going to be any use if you can't be a team player, so I need to know now. Will you be able to follow orders during our missions? If not, you can go your merry way, no hard feelings. If so, you're still your own man off the clock. One hundred percent. That's the best I can do."
If the Yuan-ti accepted the offer, John would nod and grasp his hand firmly (and briefly) before retrieving a datachip from his jacket pocket and handing it to the other man. It would contain the coordinates for the meeting place on Red-6, as well as a timeframe for when the meeting in question was to take place.

I kind of like the idea of escalating bosses. The first few might end up being easy, but that will go away quickly.
Hey! Dynamo! Ole' buddy, ole' pal!
Drall sent me a PM asking if I wanted to be his partner, so here I am! If you'll have me.
And I'd be cool with either intermediate or enhanced human, same as Drall. I've got characters ready to go for both.

Ok, first things first: Ambiguity in a CS is not a license to powergame. Sometimes the reviewers miss something that will need to be clarified if it comes up later on in a PG manner. After all, (and contrary to popular opinion ;) ) I'm not god.
When I read the net power originally I had assumed that it operated on the basis of interrupting the neurological signals from the target's brain, and was too preoccupied with the more blatantly PG aspects of the character's abilities to give it the attention it deserved. Now that it's come up again, I can say that the way you describe it working (interrupting and stockpiling the body's electrical impulses then releasing them all at once) is fine, but just flat out saying that it paralyses anything and everything just because is definitely OP. When I read abilities like that, I assume that their damage is based on use against a human (unless otherwise specified), and so their use on other beings will have varying effects. That's a given with just about any ability.

Oh, I wasn't referring to Diabolus as far as buffs. He's leaps and bound more powerful than Ahven is. It would be one of the smaller characters that would need buffs to take on several superhuman opponents at once. If we fought Diabolus he'd be just fine as is, and maybe a little too much anyway.
Likely because he believes the paralysis net will affect Rauchnaut normally.
I'll try and get a Six post written tonight. I'm going to assume that anyone who hasn't chimed in since TJ left is no longer interested. I also have Saturday off, so I'll probably work on getting a new interest check set up then to draw in some new blood. Because we could always use more blood... ;)
Would you prefer a nerf, Vordak?
Yeah. That other power I mentioned would be the second trappable power. Though he could feasible charge a trap with essence transfer then throw it at something, and when it hit all the energy would be shoved into the target and feel a bit like a freight train. Or if he placed it on the ground and they stepped on it hilarity would ensue. Lol.
And I vote for buffing as well.
