I thought about it for a while Aqua, and my question is....

Why a demon? And if a demon why one with powers? Most of his stuff is techy, if you ditch the sword and the demon powers you have a relativity consistent power set there.

...You do have a point, Imca. I intended for Daniel to, for the most part, be similar to his WAOA counterpart. But I guess that since we're already making edits, I might as well fix that...

You could just remove his demon powers. >.>

I don't have much of relevance to say, other than if you're stuck, try thinking of what particular role you want Daniel to have or what you want him doing in the game before you start deciding what to include/discard. I know, rather obvious thing to say, but it's helped me from making things over-convoluted for my characters.

I know I said I could unbench Tira here, but I don't think she'd fit with the setting as you guys passed on to me last night, so I'm rolling another char here:

  • Name: Rocket Raccoon
  • Origin: IRL, the Guardians of the Galaxy comics (though he existed long before he joined the team); in fiction, Halfworld
  • Physical Attributes: He's, well, a raccoon. A bipedal, talking, gun-toting raccoon. 4 feet tall, weighing in at 55 pounds.
  • Weapons: Anything that has a trigger and shoots projectiles (bullets, lasers or whatever) is fair game. He's fairly well stocked about them, though he's a bit partial for guns larger than his own head.
  • Powers: None, unless you count being an anthropomorphic woodland critter as a power.
  • Abilities: Strength, agility and sensory perception proportional to those of a raccoon (well, duh). But don't let that fool you: there's more to Rocket than meets the eye. Aside from his guns, he is a skilled martial artist, adept with all the guns he uses (no matter how unwieldy they may appear to him), and a masterful strategist.
  • Weaknesses: Whatever can kill regular raccoons can kill him too. But Rocket is no regular raccoon; being smarter than the average and knowing his way around a battlefield makes him a keen survivalist.
  • Personality: He's short-tempered, snarky and can be kind of a jerk sometimes, but he's a loyal and trustworthy, making him a staunch ally to have around. I'll try not to make him the psychopathic loon Brian Michael Bendis is writing him as.
  • Power Grid: According to the 2009 revision of the Marvel Handbook:
    • Intelligence: 3 (learned)
    • Strength: 2 (normal)
    • Speed: 2 (normal)
    • Durability: 2 (normal)
    • Energy Projection: 1 (none)
    • Fighting Skills: 4 (experienced fighter)

So that's basically it. Pending approval.

OK, so what's the method of entering the game? Is there a hub I should come across, or something?
'Cause you told me we can't do Ass Pull here (besides, I don't like this practice myself), and I think just poofing in would maybe count as one AP.

Just say that your character is knocking at Samus' office door. She's the one responsible for employing new recruits.

I hate to do this while we have two new people on the list, but I seriously do think we should put WAOAA into its now yearly (At the same time funnily enough I think its the time of year) hibernation after this plot, and send the ship to WAOA again.

This time is about 1 month earlier then we normally do but lets look at the activity rates of the RP's, WAOA hits about 5 pages a day, and WAOAA about the same right now, this is being compounded by all the other new RP's out player base is split amongst and its just tearing the already sluggish community down to nothing.

For those of us who have been with us, you should know by now and I know better by this point, this wont be the end of WAOAA, it will likely be back in a few months once people get active again, but seriously, would we rather have 2 nearly dead RP, or one that is at least moderately active?

Side note, this would fix the lacking a GM problem WAOA has at the moment, since I would be more then willing to GM there, although I am gonna propose something other then Dragon Ball if I do.

TL:DR : Annual proposal to merge WAOAA back into WAOA for a while, other peoples thoughts on the situation?
