Courier Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I guess the big issue is whether we're going to seduce or destroy.I also suggest high levels of cipher and influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Question: Does Eufiber exist? Tainted Euf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Where applicable, yes.And I imagine there will be ample opportunity for seduction AND destruction, even where the acts aren't intertwined.We will need some way of dealing with powerful do-gooders, after all. They won't all have weak wills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Courier: No Eu. I updated the rules for this, thank you for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Saint-Etienne Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I deliberately didn't take Influence to start with. My rationale is that Tomas would concentrate first on survival and comfort and is only now (as the game starts) starting to think about wider goals. I'm looking forward to grabbing influence, contacts, followers etc in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Question: Is the entire "sterility" issue around on this world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Supers can have kids, but it's not apparent yet whether or not they inherit their powers. Part of what Novus is trying to do is to determine if the ability to have powers is genetic gained or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How does Taint work? Same as in the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Rose Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Rianna doesn't have Influnence, but rather backing, and contacts at high levels since she runs a major corporation and knows people around the world. She doesn't have Influence in that she's not a public Icon, (which for this sort of thing is a blessing) but she is someone who has alot of control over certain things and can find out information if needed.

Jaime Lowery Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Max: Superpowers at extremely high levels can cause many sorts of harmful effects on the super, which means Taint functions like in the book, 'cept it's not called taint IC.

Jaime Lowery Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Since we have 4 of 7 chars green-lighted, I declare Code Blue. You may begin posting pre-prologue fictions (no XP), and you can clear with me what your character is doing on November 12th, (IC date) if you haven't already.

Courier Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Character submitted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Ok, 5 of 7 confirmed, so I announce a rough start. If you're confirmed, begin posting your first prologue post. Title it Prologue: Character Name(s). Each character should post what they're doing on IC date of Nov 12th. After you folks are ready with those, I'll start responses.

Courier Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm assuming we shouldn't pick a common location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 A common location would be excellent. I'm personally familiar with Houston and Dallas, and have been to the mall area in DC, but that's it for me and big cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic1 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I like the mall area in DC if were going for a common location. Not sure what Siyu would be doing there yet. But I am familiar with the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Char submitted. Also, William doesn't have influence, contacts, allies, or very many resources. There's going to be a lot of development IC for William, including the building of his ego and heading over to 'the dark side'.From reading the prologues, I'm assuming that everyone has their powers at start and knows how to control them completely?Then I'll need to tweak my backstory a little, unless there's room for an IC eruption.

Courier Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Originally Posted By: StargaizerFrom reading the prologues, I'm assuming that everyone has their powers at start and knows how to control them completely?Pretty much. Doc was stronger during his eruption but that's a different problem. He's a precog too btw.http://www.kontraband.com/pics/20106/Leveling/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think an IC eruption sounds cool. But yeah, I think we're all going for the seasoned villain thing. And I didn't mention it in the profile because his powers aren't publicly known but Siyu's a gravity controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Stargaizer, I think Will could work. If you don't mind, he'll get kidnapped and pressed into the Novus. (No Good Deed's Teragen equivelant. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 *shrugs* Sounds like a good a start down the road of villainy as any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Fox, Stargaizer, if you don't mind, can you share the prologue started with Caroline, as I have a thought where a friend of Caroline's new host takes her to Will's restaurant. This friend is interested in Will. It'll improve some of my setup planning.Do you mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Lowery Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Also, the rest of you, please post the prologues if you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't mind at all, but I need some details. Who is Will and what restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Story Guide Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 *picks out a brownie of anihilation* Excellent.....On a slightly more serious note, could I get a quick general run-down of the types of characters and powersets in the game? While a little overlap might be fine, I do want to make sure that I'm not making a carbon copy of someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 If it helps any, specialist telepath is probably open, since that's what I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Dr. Aeon: Temporal Manip, Precognition, (very) weak Telepathy, and a closet theme that might not come up.And for the record, he is *not* evil. He's strongly motivated to take over the world, but that's a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I get the feeling most of our chars aren't "evil". They just have clear cut goals and they get to them with ruthless efficiency. Sociopaths perhaps, but evil no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalmonMax Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I was gonna say...See, at first, that's how I tried to think of my character. "Not really evil." But as I tried to get into her head and work out her motivations, I very quickly realized that nothing really made sense for her. Evil tends to be so self-destructive, it was hard to come up with a reason that a mega-intelligent character would go that route.Bloody-minded vengeance or outright sadism aside...but those themes are already very well represented here.

The Story Guide Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ummm.....my character concept is evil. Not the black-hat-and-moustache evil, but he's definitely not just 'misunderstood' or doing what he's doing 'for the greater good'. He's doing what he wants because he can and doesn't care about other people or what his actions take from them. He can work with others towards a common goal, but he's not going to rescue kittens or back down from a plan just because someone he (or you, or anyone) knows is going to be hurt/killed/ruined/whatever. That's not going to be a problem, is it? Also, he's got other motivations than selfishness as well as a backstory to support his callousness and misanthropy, but explination is not excuse for his actions. He's not a hero, anti or otherwise.

Logic1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not at all for me at least. Siyu's basically a terrorist. He does operate for the GG but he won't be helping any old ladies across the street. He's only concerned with his goal. So, it seems they share a common work ethic.

Courier Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I see that in order for Doc to function in this group he's going to buy into the 'greater good' ideal... that's not a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
