The Overview tab has been updated. I'll add a Setting tab later tonight or tomorrow, with more practical, OOC-type information in it.

 

[call me rae]

Woot!


@welian so I'm heading to sleep now and I work tomorrow morning so I'm just going to post this question in the thread for now in case it's not answered when your done with the set up.


Feel free to ignore it if it's answered in one of the WIP tabs but the question is - what kind of images are we using for this roleplay? Would real models or illustrated images be more appropriate or do you care?


Just so I know how much time I need to set aside to finding a character image.


Anyway it's getting late so I'm going to hit the hay. Feel free to answer this at your leisure as I'm in no rush and I realize you have important thread creation world build-y things to do.

Damn I'm eager to start this! So many powers to choose from..... my brain is going to explode.


I'm feeling one character with Solar Generation/Manipulation and one with the ability to either turn into metal or negate/enhance abilities of others.....


What about you folks though?


Any ideas on what powers you'll choose?

 

[call me rae]

I'm going to try something new depending on what kind of references we can use and how much photoshop hates me.


A team of two D Ranks. 1 is a talking cat. His super power was the ability to turn into a cat unfortunately he lacked the additional power to turn back into a human.


2. Is the one that's going to make me want to tear my hair out. Her power is butterfly wings and low level hypnosis. Basically you know how some butterfly's are supposed to throw predators off by camoflauge or pretty irridesent colors? Basically what she does she can kind of temporarily stun people by making her wings change color.


But that's it. No flying. No shrinking. Just pretty colors.


I don't know how I'll feel like her wings when I go to make her face claim but those are my tentative ideas.

 

[lazee]

One word: I'm interested.

Two more words: I can't count.

 

[Pigeon]

This sounds awesome! I've a weakness for superhero role plays, especially ones that don't focus on combat, so count me interested!

 

[philocaly]

It's here.


Yusssssssssss

 

[yoikes]

I am tempted to make a character that have a power that is both stupid/could cause some hillariousity and strong/effective.


Several idea I had in mind:

1. Literal plot armor/super duper lucky, like Donald Duck's lucky cousin.
   
2. Nullification, but can only nullify by touching (so yeah, has to touch the fireball to nullify it).
   
3. Summoning, but 99% of the time the summoned creature doesn't listen and run amok.
   
4. Someone who can copy someone's power momentarily.
   
5. Someone who has the ability to transform something to something else equal to it. For example, transforming a can of beer with band aid. The only problem is, it cannot be turned back into it's previous form (so the character stuck in a huge debt)
   

Or went for the high ranks instead...


Quick question, how are the power ranks are going to be decided? S and A will surely be limited, right?

 

[welian]

[QUOTE="too much idea]S and A will surely be limited, right?

[/QUOTE]
Absolutely. There will be a limited number of character slots for A and S to begin with, and writing samples will be required with their profiles. It'll be a bit like auditions. I want people to consider lower and mid-ranked characters first. Limits are interesting.

 

[philocaly]

I'll be doing a B rank sound manipulation character probably...


Because B are the grades I always get.

@Chibii what a coinkydink! I've got a soundwave manipulator too! Though he's also like 56, lol

Hint: It's the 56 year old.

Haha1 he's a character from the original RP I've updatted and changed to fit this setting, truthfully, if I'd followed the correct time change, he should be like 63, but I dropped the age slightly... Might make him 63 though, wouldn't mean he'd be unfit, just, wrinkly

 

[welian]

Haha, yeah.... I didn't pull all this world building out my ass in a day. This is stuff from another superherp roleplay I ran about three years ago. I didn't want to come up with a new setting, so I just built on what I had. The Rapture Incident was the focus of the old RP, they were a terrorist group of supers that Commonwealth was trying to shut down.

 

[call me rae]

Hullo chat! @welian I had a question about power ranks. Do we rank our characters by like their highest potential ability or the usefulness of their power in the specific setting of the roleplay.


Example - i had an idea for a girl that her power was teleportation through trees. ( because butterfly girl was going to be a pain in the butt to create using photoshop ). now obviously in an urban setting where their are no trees or very little trees the power is virtually useless, but in a forest or rural setting the power would be much more useful and relevant.


So would she be ranked according to what she could do in the urban or rural setting?

 

[Giyari]

I think, you're thinking too much about it

 

[call me rae]

I think, you're thinking too much about it

Probably but I tend to take roleplays too seriously unless they're like totally ridiculous were reality is only a passing suggestion.


Cuz I like to think of my characters are real people in any given scenario so therefore I like to make sure they fit as well as possible in the rules and society portrayed.


Makes me a pain to world build with but hey I'd rather ask and have the answer be - whatevs - than not ask and have someone chew me out later for taking my character off the rails.

 

[welian]

Teleporting through trees sounds like a fairly harmless power - I image she'd be perhaps a C or D rank.


However, it depends on a few other things - can she teleport other people and objects with her?


The woman who can teleport only herself, and only a half mile a way, is not dangerous unless she teleports into something nasty, such as a grinder or combine - in which case she's dead.


The woman who can teleport herself, and the Empire State Building, and its contents including people, and place it down in China.... is going to be dead because two separate armies will be after her.
