Superhero Game (Closed: sandbagged by a cursed Character.)

I like it, I'm taking this to PM.

 

\o/ Yay!

Edited: Whoops, was supposed to be Sex: Male, Sexual orientation: Straight. Changed that part

 

Had wondered about that...

 

Yeah, just a tad weird when the thing talks about super villainesses getting the knot, with a homosexual preference.

 

Oh, BTW, friendly bit of advice? Non-con behavior will have all the negative consequences you would reasonably expect IRL...

 

Just have to put it in their mind. "I don't have to turn you into the law enforcement. I mean, we all have rough days and nights, so maybe we can negotiate..." *hand on thigh*

...just cause he doesn't necissarily follow through with the whole release thing, doesn't mean he doesn't hint at it. *cough*

 

That's... Questionable, at best: veers into the Comand Rape category: and remember, I did say "all", not even MOST of which are legal ones...

 

In case it hasn't become apparent yet, Nemo has issues with Non-con themes. Which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. However, It's probably best to keep away from anything that could even be remotely interpreted as a non-consentual act. Including things like Blackmail and Mind Control.

 

What counts as average for a normal human in stats?

I'm thinking of a super soldier experiment. Except she isn't much of a soldier. She would rather take action selfies in the middle of a fight than follow orders.

 

Oh fine, i'll be good. Promise. >

That said, I tried to even things out on the character to try to not make it OP, but to make it a threat. Suit can be tampered with, stolen, and as with most tech, doesn't do crap against magic and psionics.

That said, since it is a suit, it can always be further upgraded for powers. Granted, I don't want to do the iron man thing and have like.... a suit for everything, or batman's utility belt and shark repellent spray.

 

True origin: Dragon, hence flight, electrokinesis (elemental affinity with lightning, extended to all electricity), magical talent. Born in Europe, specifically Austria, but couldn't deal with all the competition for resources and power, and so he moved out. Spent most of his life as a recluse, hiding in Alaska, studying magic from several tomes he bought with him. However, over the course of the past decade or so, he's left Alaska, instead moving into the big city, where he slowly accumulates wealth and art, as well as consorts, in his guise as Henry Chesterfield, art dealer and playboy, and indulges his more violent urges as Captain Thunder.

Henry Chesterfield: The man of mystery in his city's social scene, Henry Chesterfield arrived from nowhere seven years ago, with a full bank account, a charming wit, and an interest in both art and women. He lives in a luxurious apartment, and is rumoured to be Captain Thunder's sponsor.

Captain Thunder: Captain Thunder fights crime with a square jaw, a sense of truth and justice, and lightning bolts he shoots from his hands as he flies around the city. He first developed his powers at age twelve, when he touched a live wire in the dingy orphanage where he lived. Rather than kill him, the shock activated his E-gene, giving him lightning powers and the ability to fly. Not long after that, he was adopted, and his parents, on learning of his powers, taught him the sense of right and wrong he carries with him today.'

 

I actually don't know: This was GE's system originally, I just stole it.

Oh, THAT'S going to end well... *Chuckle*

 

Well, if we're setting a baseline. Maybe the average human is about a 5? Would give a bit more context on how a character is ultimately more super human than a human.

Each point above that might be a multiplier of how much how a character is than that base line, or weaker as the case may be. Like, if we set it as each point above 5 is 1.5 times higher. So, the average man can deadlift 155 lbs. If we used 1.5, that would mean the physically weakest on the team, Wild Hunt, can lift roughly 232.5.

Put into context, our highest strength character, Amun-ra can deadlift 67873.6 lbs (rounded) or 33.9 tons. I think in super hero terms this could actually fit pretty well, especially since in both Marvel and DC 34 tons lift is definately strong, but it isn't the upper tier of limit.

It might change a bit when you get into IQ, since otherwise we get some wonky numbers...

But i'd suggest each stat gets a multiplier above 5 to determine roughly how strong, smart, agile, ect something is.

 

Also keep in mind that I assume that the characters are going to progress as the story goes on. Our stats and abilities will improve.

I wasn't really sure how much more I could add to Morgana's story. There's not really much of an origin in her powers, because they probably developed naturally due to her heritage and she mostly immerses herself in wealth and grandeur while not really having too many emotional connections due to having a god complex and is probably a bit of a Egocentrist.

Overall she's not really a good person like most of the classic superheroes. Her motivations for being a "superhero" are almost entirely driven by the love and devotion that she enjoys from performing such acts and uses such things to fuel her affluent lifestyle. That's also why she doesn't have a secret identity.

(Also this post is mostly to just mention that despite being quiet, i am still interested in playing)

 

I had hoped you would say something to this effect: expect your origin story thread in a few minutes...

 

Hopefully I did this right.

Name: Victoria "Visy" Sydney

Gender: Female

Age: Appears around 18

Race: Manufactured human

Appearance: Visy has short deep red hair. Cut short on one side while the other hangs down to about her jawline. She has the toned fit body that she keeps in shape with minimal effort. Thanks to her modified genes. Packing an ass of someone that does squats every day. Again more her genes that any work she actually puts into it. Along with a perky set of A cups. Normally she sports a nice tan as well. With no visible tanlines.

Orientation: Heterosexual

Strength: 20

Agility: 16

Precision: 8

Constitution: 14

Willpower: 5

Perception: 5

Intelligence: 5

Wisdom: 5

Charisma: 14

Technique: 8

Notes: Visy, along with her twin brother, was an experiment of her mother, Lassira Sydney. The owner of a large genetics company. A bit of a secret government project to create super soldiers. While the strength, speed and power are there the project was put on hold. An army of such people being deemed too dangerous should they turn on their masters.

Visy spent her years in school excelling at sports but less so in her grades. While it seemed the physical enhancements had worked flawlessly her lack of increased intelligence had been seen as a failure. Her brother seemed to be much the same.

Once the project was closed down her brother vanished. Not to happy about having been made a guinea pig by his own mother. While Visy was quite enjoying the many advantages it had given her. Now out on her own she does the the hero thing more for fun than anything. Having a fan club on various social media sites she loves the attention more than anything else. Often posting selfies with captured bad guys and pictures of herself in skimpy workout clothes. Not that she actually needs to workout.

Unknown to both her, her brother and anyone with out top secret clearance they are actually clones of their 'mother.' Having undergone extreme genetic modification from the start they look different enough that no one would be able to tell.

 

OK, character idea is great!

Right up until this part.

Even if the character THINKS she's 18, looks like she's 18, and is physiologically mature, I can't sanction having a five-year-old in a sexual RPG*: sorry.
*(Or anyone who's not both at least 18 Terran standard years old: AND chronologically, physiologically, and psychologically adult for their species, whatever that is.)

That said, if you're willing to deep-six those two sentences I will start your origin story PM in the morning or shortly after you give the go ahead if that hasn't happened by the time I wake up again... (Which could happen much later, I've been known to not wake up till Seventeen-Hundred, if I'm exhausted enough...)

 

All fixed

 

Wow, that was prompt! I'll start it before bed instead!

 

If you're still interested in playing this character respond to the thread!

Barring that, everyone should have an Origin Story thread up at this point, I've missed you somehow, speak up!
