Current I rolled my eyes at the Status Bar; it's like these people thought the First Person Smartass trope was *so* overdone. As if they've picked up any YA books since Twilight was hot, right? Me neither.

Obviously, the bottom team has had their Sports Shonen training arc. Didn't you see that brand new technique that one guy revealed at the most dramatic moment? Or the flashback that other guy had?

Louisiana winter is only bad because the air is 90% water. Not as cold, but you're basically taking a bath in it. No amount of layers is enough to keep you from getting soggy.

I don't know if I'll be seen in any particular light for saying this, but I may have a suggestion to significantly cut down on spam traffic. A particular website I've used in the past for memes and such has an admin that's fairly open about some of the stuff they do system-side, and they revealed at one point that, based on their detection methods, they believed 90+% of bot, spam, and fake-ad traffic was coming from India and China (possibly a few others, I don't remember). I'm not sure how they did it, but they implemented some method of automatically banning, or just not allowing, any and all accounts/IP addresses from those countries and now the problem is quite literally non-existent on that site.

I don't know if RPG has any members from those countries who would be affected, but it seems to me it'd be a pretty clear cut way to give you guys some relief from the constant battle. These seem to be popping up a lot more often than they used to.

"Right now, you can still turn things around!" Zetta Man shouted. Taking the wallets instead of raiding the teller drawers probably meant they'd gotten less than a thousand dollars. If they gave up peacefully, they might get off with only petty theft or a class-1 misdemeanor despite the assaults. "But if you run from the police, or attack anyone, you're going--"

The garish shirt caught his attention first---a civilian! The thug couldn't be allowed to endanger anyone else. He pushed faster. The thief's lead had shrunk to less than a hundred feet, and in an instant he was within arm's reach---

A fiery blast rocked the ground beneath the criminal, and the conflagration writhed around them like living serpents! Zetta Man veered off, twisting against the recoil, his thoughts racing. No one else was here besides that civilian--and no non-hero/villain would act that nonchalant upon seeing a super-battle, no matter how many times it's happened to them.

"Hold your fire!" Zetta Man shouted, his voice booming like thunder. Pieces of the crystalline shell were splitting apart, from the extremities inward as the blue flames circled the villain like a cloud of angry wasps. The blue-and-orange suited hero reached into the eruption, grabbing the villain by their armored shoulder to try and yank them out of the fiery column. In the process, his super suit---normally impervious to your average mugger's knife or box cutter--was slashed several times from the forearm down to his fingertips. His Zetta Field, focused over his skin, shielded him as if his body was wrapped in steel, yet even so thin red lines traced over his flesh...
User smithcasts spamming those magic spell threads. This is apparently a consistent thing now, though I don't know if it's possible to IP block wherever they're coming from or something of that nature to prevent new bots.
If you could, yeah, but for things like thugs or randos, you don't need it. not unless they're important.


Right, okay. This crystal guy is very much just a dumb thug, not plot important at all unless some bigger villain recruits them as a henchman or something. Thanks!
Ah, it just occurred to me even though I've already posted: Do I need to make some kind of NPC profile, if I'm just throwing out a "generic" villain or whatever? Like, they're not a character I intend to play as, but if GM or anybody else wanted to use them again they could. The bank robber Zetta Man's currently chasing basically has the powers of the Diamondhead alien from Ben 10, just that they form the crystals as a shell over their body rather than being made entirely of it.

"Susp...on foot...cutting thr...trees betwe...onport Road and Archer..."

Zetta Man knew how to tune the Zetta Field to the most common police frequencies, but he never got perfect reception---he was a human, not a machine, after all. Nonetheless, Charles R. Mitchell---known to his friends as Chad, and his enemies as the "Dynamo Hero, Zetta Man,"---flew just under the treetops faster than any sprinter. He shifted his muscular frame from one side to the other as he weaved between the dark trunks. A forested park area snaked between two large apartment complexes. In a nearby bank, trembling customers were missing their wallets and other belongings. Some had bruises and small cuts.

The bank robber was a dark silhouette, skinny but human shaped, inside an exoskeleton of moving crystal. The pale green substance was faceted like diamonds, and thick enough to obscure the person's features. They clutched a bag in one large, blocky hand, and ran for all they were worth---which was not exceedingly fast even by non-superhuman standards.

"Stop!" Zetta Man shouted, "Surrender now, and you'll get off easy!" They turned their armored head, and faced him with wide, white eyes. "I said stop! I don't want to hurt you!" Almost tripping over themselves, they redoubled their speed. The hero grumbled under his breath. "Of course. Why would they ever make it easy?"
Hello there, I'm hoping that you guys are still taking entries?

I'm typically kind of a long-winded writer, but I've been thinking I should try condensing my posts more and learn to do better with less, so that I can post more frequently overall. So I thought it might be a good exercise to join this RP and keep things short-and-sweet, if you'll have me? I've got a character WIP, but I don't want it to feel too out of place with the other profiles--just let me know if there's anything at all that needs to be tweaked, downgraded, etc?

My apologies to everyone, but after several days of consideration I've decided to close down this RP. I especially apologize to those of you who'd just joined us, I'm really sorry and I appreciate the level of effort you went through with your characters. It's unfortunate, but right now my IRL priorities are elsewhere and I just don't think I have the energy to continue this story. There's no need to worry, and I thank those of you whom I'm sure are concerned for me by this statement--I'm fine, it just seems like RPing in general isn't really in the cards for me right now. No doubt I'll get back around to it at some point, it's just one of those things. But leaving an RP in hiatus isn't really my style, so I feel it's best to end it here.

Again, I'm sorry to all of you and I'm very grateful that I got to write with everyone. May we cross paths again some day!
