Heritage Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Okay, I really like how these two very different teams are starting to shape up. The last background stuff I'm going to be putting up is about Lake City itself, just defining some of the major neighborhoods; I already posted about Central Lake City, and will follow up with the North, West and South Sides. Wyrd and I chatted so I think we're coming along there, which leaves Prince and Cent/Kazou as far as working out characters. I'll be PMing Cent some suggestions. Prince, I'd be fine with either Apollo or Chance; once we know how Cent wants to go, we can figure out which of your two would be the better fit. I'm hoping to have this game start next week, probably not earlier than next Wednesday, since that's the next time I can be sure of having unlimited free internet.

Wyrd Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I hate to tell you this, but Wednesday is generally my busiest day, meaning that I am not even checking the site for much of the day. It is one of the two days I get to get out of the house in the week, so I enjoy what I can of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Fair enough; since my online access is still uneven, I can't hold that against anyone else. I expect we'll start slowly at first and then hopefully build up steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Traveler Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Doing a quick post for a update as to my status... I should be around through the early half of the weekend so if there are any final questions I can answer them or get my first inaugural IC postings in. Thank you for your patience.

Prince of Boredom Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Okay, so here's the crunchy bits for Apollo that I'm thinking. This is my first M&M3 character, so I'm always open to constructive criticism. Hopefully it's easy to follow, I built him in HeroLab and this is the easiest way to output it. Apollo - PL 10 Strength 1, Stamina 2, Agility 5, Dexterity 5, Fighting 1, Intellect 1, Awareness 3, Presence 1 Advantages Attractive, Benefit, Diplomatic Immunity, Benefit, Security Clearance 2: Top Secret, Favored Environment: Space, Ranged Attack Skills Acrobatics 2 (+7), Athletics 4 (+5), Close Combat: Unarmed 4 (+5), Expertise: Space Travel 4 (+5), Insight 2 (+5), Perception 6 (+9), Persuasion 4 (+5), Ranged Combat: Cosmic Blast: Blast 10 2 (+7), Vehicles 6 (+11) Powers Cosmic Awareness: Senses 1 (cosmic, Awareness: Cosmic Awareness) Cosmic Blast: Blast 10 (cosmic, DC 25; Accurate: +2) Cosmic Force Field: Force Field 10 (cosmic, +10 Toughness; Impervious) Flight: Flight 8 (cosmic, Speed: 500 miles/hour, 1 mile/round) Life Support: Immunity 10 (cosmic, Life Support) Space Flight: Movement 3 (cosmic, Space Travel 3: other galaxies) Offense Initiative +5 Cosmic Blast: Blast 10, +10 (DC 25) Grab, +1 (DC Spec 11) Throw, +6 (DC 16) Unarmed, +5 (DC 16) Complications Fame Honor Motivation: Patriotism Responsibility Languages Native Language Defense Dodge 8, Parry 5, Fortitude 8, Toughness 12, Will 5 Power Points Abilities 38 + Powers 74 + Advantages 6 + Skills 17 (34 ranks) + Defenses 15 = 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Okay, posted the last major stuff I've planned in the General Info section, though I might add bits and pieces as I think of them. Prince, I'm copying your character so I can look it over on my laptop at home, so I will have feedback for you in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotemyname Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Wow, as always, H, you're turning up the heat on the fluff. I didn't think one city could be so detailed! Hah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks, HH! I also cleaned all the entries up a bit, hopefully making them easier to read. Also someone asked earlier if the Alliance Orbital team (that's you guys in the space game) were going to function as base security on OS1, what with all the alien races living so close together and all, ala Babylon 5. I did like that show a lot (though it was very uneven at times) and I'm sure it influenced me a bit, but no, in general security will be handled by a designated security team, most likely a mix of humans and Nameless agents. That being said, assume that at least something bad will happen on the base requiring your characters to have to intervene, because otherwise where's the fun in being stuck up there, right?

Heritage Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Augh, I need to get cable internet at home ASAP! Sorry for the long delay! Okay, since all the characters are approved in the street game (aka HoH), I'm going to start that one up right now. What are the status of the various characters in the space game? I've got completed and approved sheets for Gakusha, Sigil and Lusungu; what's the status on Kat, Wyrd? I sent a PM to Cent today to see if he's still interested in playing, and if so with a version of Aurelius, since there's considerable overlap between him and Apollo (who's sheet looks fine, BTW).

Wyrd Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I've got the character completed, though admittedly I've been a bit busy and haven't finished up the summons. I could probably start as is, and just hope that I don't need any of the summons that haven't been statted out yet... Besides, you'll need to approve the stats on the summons. That's the biggest downside of this character concept, the number of different characters I need to work up, and my own insistence on making each of them truly unique.

Heritage Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pure linkiness! IC OOC Prince, do you mind statting up Chance as a possible alternative? Me and Cent are gonna try and make a go with Aurelius, and there would just be too much overlap with Apollo (both are super-strong deep space travelers).

Prince of Boredom Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I can Heritage, but I'm not sure what Apollo sheet you're looking at. Apollo isn't superstrong at all. he shoots stuff and has a forcefield (maybe that's what you meant...) Edit: And here is Chance. Jack of All Trades and spaceship pilot.

quotemyname Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's in the same sub-forum. You really can't find it? Sorry, I didn't mean to come across insultingly there. I was still half-asleep. Yea, I've never used this forum before. And the ONLY threads I've been reading are the ones that pertain to this game. I had no clue where to go for it. But it's cool. I got my links, so I should be good now. Heritage: Is there anything else for our game that you'll be posting here? Can I stop watching this thread?

Heritage Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Prince: Yeah, it's not like Aurelius and Apollo are exactly the same, but Cent's character also flies in deep space and shoots energy blasts, so there is still considerable overlap. Chance looks good, but I'll let you know as soon as I can which character of yours we'll be going with; sorry to keep you in suspense! Hellhound: At this point, I'd say you can keep your eye on the OOC thread; this sub-forum is pretty much just for character approvals now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Boredom Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Ah, didn't realize he shot energy blasts also. When he said Superman-esque I assumed it was more beating people up with fists. In that case then, yeah, they seem pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrd Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sorry, I've had a really busy couple of weeks, combined with poor health, so I've been using what time I had online for games that were already going.

AceWildcard Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well I don't know which game I want to be in yet. Right now I don't know which games were open and not to be honest. I didn't want to cause problems by posting in any of them at that time which would disrupt the flow of the rp. I don't like to do that for other players. I want to get in at a time which would be appropriate and at a time the gm and others would allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushingMountain Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. I think what Heri's trying to say (through his back pain) is: We're really at an early stage in both games, and so there are still ways to work you in to either story. Of course, I could be wrong, and if I am, I'm sure Heri will correct me. I'm saying don't be shy. People in here are (for the most part) friendly and open. If they have a problem with things, they'll let you know in a nice way, and try to help you overcome it. Hang out in chat, and talk to people if you think it will help (I'm Kael in chat, BTW).

AceWildcard Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 First off what age group will the characters be in. As well as what type of story will be doing. I have a few character ideas in my head, but don't know which to do right now. Basically they are from an idea for an story in my head, but wanted to also see how the charcters worked out in concept or at least in the cocpet of a superhero.

RushingMountain Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 In general, if you're looking to join a game, Ace, hang out in chat and talk to people. You usually get a better turn around for how good a game is/games are, and as a consequence, you can make a more informed decision about the game. Basically, heroes exist, and see to be governed to some degree by the law. I suspect that almost anything that would fit into a Marvel/DC comic would find a place here, but it's supposed to be grittier than 4-color comics, but not dark & angsty (if I understand correctly). To me, it feels a bit like the Stormwatch universe, but the aliens are more alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 RM speaks truth, Ace; I'd hadn't really thought about it, but Stormwatch (as opposed to The Authority) is about right tone-wise, not that I'm up on every aspect of that particular universe. Main things you need to be at least eighteen and not a known felon; I'd also suggest reading over the General Info thread, as well as reading over both games so far: General Info: The Home of Heroes (PL 8 game): Alliance OS1 (PL 10 game): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 well I got an super hero concept or two done. I was wondering where I send it to be view at? I thought I sent it to one of your guys, but I don't know if the person was just off or if I wasn't suppose to pm such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceWildcard Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 well I gotten my idea worked out. Just that I don't know if it's the right time to do it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 To be perfectly honest Ace, I don't think now is a good time to add another player to either game; I am barely holding this universe together with the group we have now, so I don't think adding a new factor now would be wise. If I can get a new job that pays better in the next month or so, and can get my internet situation figured out, then we can resume this conversation. Fair enough?
