@The Mad Hatter so are you planning to have the IC up and running tomorrow?
Lol that's good. One of the easiest ways to get on his good side is with food.
Lol, it's fine. Jeff will do his best to keep objects, especially sharp ones, between them in order to keep his personal space.
Jeff's first impressions/ level of acquaintance:

Jacques: He is a good man, strong and proud. The resistance would be lost without him. Jeff just wishes the man would stop leering at him so incessantly, as it made him very uncomfortable. Still, He would consider Jacques a friend.

Ruben: Jeff thinks he understands Ruben, and believes they would be good friends if either of them ever made an effort. As it stands, they are on good terms.

Mahmud: Such a nice guy, he's been sort of a father figure to a lot of the young rescues Jeff has brought in. He even gave Jeff some tips on how to optimize his home forge.

Piper: Jeff had come across her path a few times. He never knew what the story was with that woman. She seemed to have her fingers in every pie around the city somehow. Still, Jeff believes she can be trusted. However, he does his best not to get too close, a strong woman like that could make him lose focus too easily.

Wendy: A true angel, this woman does miraculous things. Jeff has been in need of her services on almost a daily basis, and respects her abilities above anyone else's. However, because of the social awkwardness of having someone heal your wounds repeatedly, Jeff has never really spoken to her much beyond the superficial.

Naomi: Jeff finds her fascinating, but has never really been able to penetrate her invisible barrier. He wonders frequently if her ability could help him make sharper, more durable weapons.

Katerina: Jeff has come to her several times, in hopes of finding out when the next attack on a super might be. Kat often explains that she can't see the future, but Jeff still persistently asks for anything she can offer. He also feels that their working relationship has made them friends, at least in a loose regard.

Phoebe: She seems like a good kid, lots of potential. They are on friendly terms, though they haven't spoken much.
Chit Zai was growing frustrated with the woman before them; She clearly knew more than she was leading on, and it was wearing on his patience. However, he was starting to believe his initial was response was wrong. There is no way this woman is working for Iluq, only those whom are truly malicious would make ties with such a monster, this woman seemed all too peaceful. Chit Zai took in a deep breath, exhaled, and scanned their surroundings once more: things were about to get worse. He could see two water benders fast approaching from the city, and he knew without a doubt they were the ones that had given him so much trouble in the city. They were no ordinary benders.
Without hesitation, Chit Zai demanded "Look! you're either for us or against us, so help me get the Avatar to the western shore now or stop the games and attack already."

Without waiting for a response, Chit zai began moving the index and middle finger of both his hands through the air in circular motions. The enemy was still a long way off, but if he got just the right charge to it, he might be able to put them down long enough to get away. The air crackled around his hands, and the static build up was palpable. Still, he continued to motion in the air until the built up charge threatened to tear his body apart. All at once he pointed his fingers at the attacking waterbenders, and a bolt of lightning escaped either hand; it was an incredible force, plenty of power and speed, but his aim was off centre enough that he wasn't even sure if he made contact. The blast, however, kicked up a screen of dust which hopefully would serve them well in their retreat.
Kazuma was in an uncomfortable but cozy place. The commotion going on around him never even registered, which was unusual for him; but then he probably never drank as much as he had the night before. He was still drifting through his unconscious state when the crew gathered at the table for breakfast. Finally something rocked his peaceful state when Fenris came charging into the mess hall and slammed into the closet door. Kaz jolted but held on to his sleep expertly. Fenris whined and slammed into the door again. This time the shock was enough That Kazuma jerked himself awake and fell into the door.

The closet door swung open, Kazuma pouring out onto the floor in front of everyone. His head was spinning, and eyes glazed over. As if the hangover wasn't bad enough... Fenris began licking Kaz's face until he go the response he wanted. Finally unable to resist, Kazuma laughed and patted the wolf's neck.
"Okay okay, I'm up buddy." It came out between gasps for air. By the time Fenris let him be, Kazuma realized he was not alone. Still laying on his back, he tilted his head back to look at the robust crew of pirates observing him.

With incredible speed Kaz shot up to his feet and immediately placed his hand on the wall to balance himself. Seems he was still a little drunk as well. "Look I don't know who you are, but I think you all should go." He offered as politely as he could while still being firm. He thought it was fair.
Glad to see things are moving along now. I will post when I can. Maybe tomorrow but I can't guarantee anything until Monday.
Perhaps Jeff could be going to her regularly to find out when the next super will be attacked, and try to get ahead of the crusaders. Just a thought.
Well I missed a lot.


LOL, yeah, bad time to take a break.

I wouldn't worry about it if i were you.
@Drake Baku
I'm gonna be honest with you; I don't want to accept him.
You already have one extremely powerful (the most powerful) character that I am already a bit iffy about, but I allow out of the goodness of my heart. If I accepted this guy, too, you'd have the two most powerful characters in the game and I just don't want that. I can't give you any good explaination as to why, but it just rubs on me the wrong way.
You also have two characters who are able to "shut off their emotions", which is not only an extremely difficult thing to do and usually only happen with the help of some kind of psychosis, lots and lots of drugs or a serious alcohol intake, but also something that would make them into what we in daily speak would call "Super Soldiers".

I have to make opponents for the Resistance to face that can match the level of those they have to fight. Usually, I'd make the antagonists as strong as the strongest protagonist and if I were to do that, only your characters would stand a chance since they are far ahead from the others, power-wise.

If you were to fix him, I'd say the only way to do so IMO is to lose the "Kill Switch" to his emotions and the second power (Electrokinesis).

However, as I attempt to be a fair and just GM, I ask the other players their opinions.
This goes for any sheet, really. If any of you have an issue with anything (including my own characters, of course) don't hesitate to let me know. If you don't want the other players to know, you can stay anonymous by shooting me a PM instead and I'll take care of it.


Well, I hate to pile on, but since you've asked for our collective opinion I will offer mine.

The character (drake) is most definitely overpowered. The CS says he only has one real power, but then goes on and on about his different powers. Shapeshifting into a dragon, accelerated healing, fire, lightning, etc. It's just way too much, especially when you compare it to the rest of the player chars who have very simple abilities. Second, the only REAL downside to all his power is that he must remain emotionless, which I can understand your reasoning behind but it makes for a really boring character to interact with. Lastly, your writing ability (and please understand I am simply stating my objective observation, this is not a personal attack) doesn't seem well honed, which means you probably lack the skill to somehow MAKE this character interesting to interact with, let alone two whom are similar.

If anyone disagrees, please explain where I am wrong, but this is the way I see it. My advise would be to reduce the power, get rid of the emotionless concept and start from there. Perhaps in time he could unintentionally use some bigger ability because he let his emotions get away from him, then you have an interesting struggle of him trying to regain control over himself without losing what makes him human.
