Craig ST Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Still Interested I've had a couple of concepts but neither I am quite happy with yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've been following this thread, it even got me back into DCUO. If we're doing a game on a superhero MMO, I'd like to port my main from CoH... but a) healers aren't that big a deal in M&M and b ) can't figure out a way to make her backstory work. So, I might be interested, but I have no idea of a concept... yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny "Maglev" Queen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Actually a healer can work, thing is Healing is just a replacement of the Treatment skill that doesn't require tools, and is more expensive in terms of PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig ST Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah but Damage in M&M isn't nearly as bad as some other games. So while you can be a healer, it isn't the huge deal it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny "Maglev" Queen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yep, pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm thinking of an elemental summoner... I tried that once before and it didn't really gel, but I think that was the background that I went with. Scientific background, but given magical powers by the exobytes. He still doesn't believe in magic, but he can use it to summon elemental minions, give himself elemental powers, or move via the elements (thinking fire/earth/air/water and maybe wood). ,, I don't know, maybe.

Craig ST Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The idea isn't bad. Might be hard to pull off on 90 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 All the powers would be in an array, he could only do one spell at a time... and he could still be in college, which would cut down on his skills and advantages. ,, I don't know, I might get down to crunching numbers tomorrow; unless I come up with something else.

Aphrodite Pandemos Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 You could make a summon array without summon. Make the powers with the descriptor I'm summoning something to do this". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphrodite Pandemos Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 So, it seems everyone is stuck on that 90 points is too few to build with. Should I give 10-15 more points or is it ok as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm good. I'm not saying that because its done (though... yeah!), I'm saying that because fewer points forces us to focus and hone our characters (in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig ST Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 While I certainly wouldn't turn down more points, I don't think they are actually required to build a functional character. Mine is almost done, just working out his complications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 No, I actually wanted to have little fire/earth/water/air minions running around to do my bidding... the elemental control is slightly more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z-Nochlev Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 My PC is to the ST for approval/edits. Just so people know my concept, he's an obsessed detective with a temper problem. His obsession is crimes involving children - he's built a reputation being relentless when it comes to solving cases with minors as victims. Granted, that reputation is in Russia and none of you have heard of it, but I'm sure Batman knows. Because Batman knows everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargaizer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ok, I think I have it done. Master's student in physics that enjoys cosplay/reenactment (i.e. DCU version of SCA) on the weekends and during breaks. He's always been a big fan of the chivalrous knights of old, but still has those star filled eyes towards the future and a greater understanding of the cosmos. He was on break and coming to a grand tournament that was being held in (I assume Metropolis?) and that's when he was infected with the exobytes and abducted by Brainiac. ,, His powers are magical/mystical in nature. Primarially he has the ability to summon elemental minions from his surroundings. Alternately, he has the ability to summon the elements to himself, giving him traits/abilities based on which element he is focusing on. Also he can fly... what good mage can't fly? ,, That's about it. Sending the crunchies to be approved, going to work on a more detailed background.

TeleForce Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Jordan here. The character I am going with was in the US military and was injured in the war in the Middle East (maybe Kandaq or another of the DC fake middle east countries?). He was Honorably discharged and had been recovering/coping with his injuries until the Exobyte hit him. ,, Should we be discussing what the Exobytes gave us in terms of powers and whatnot or should we save that as a surprise for the first thread?

Jenny "Maglev" Queen Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Tele: I think we're okay with keeping OOC and IC knowledge of the other player characters seperate. ,, As for Jenny, She was abducted fire in the sky style from her folks' cabin in upstate New York and that is how she got sucked into all this.

TeleForce Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 So , while I can't speak for what Moira is going to do with the game, I thought I would share one of the motion comics from the MMO this is inspired by.

Stargaizer Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ok, crunch and fluff (stats & background) submitted for George Baker.

Jenny "Maglev" Queen Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well, the only reason why I took a callsign was the fact she'd start using it once we get past the "tutorial mission" as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Okay here is a question for you Moira. When we got hit with the Exobyte, how much knowledge got transmitted about what we can do? Are we aware of the current powers/tech/other stuff the exobyte gave us or do we have to figure that out through trial and error? What about information about the original wielder of our powers, do we have any idea of who they were before the Exobyte digitized them and their goodies? Do you want the answers to these questions to be uniform across the board or should each player be answering these questions for themselves ,, I only ask because my idea for TeleForce was that he is using the same name that the original power wielder used. In other words there was a TeleForce in the future and my character is using the same name and costume because that is what the Exobyte dumped on him.

Aphrodite Pandemos Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Jordan, it's "muscle memory", so to speak. You know what they are, but learning to use them will be the fun part.

Aphrodite Pandemos Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 "You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the fortune you seek. But first...first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see things wonderful to tell. You shall see a...a cow...on the roof of a cotton house. Ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind--yea, your hearts grow weary--still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
