World of Heroes: Reboot -- Discussion Thread

I mainly just didn't want to clog the RP with yet another parallel plotline. I think that can work, though. He can show up late and I can just say he made some stops on the way there to get some "party supplies".

@Shadowbell: Well, I'm stumbling over a similar problem, and I get the feeling that at least several others may eventually as well. Namely, we have good superhero concepts, but we haven't gone into detail on their secret identities at all. It may not be that necessary for some of the Registereds, since I guess they're government employees, but there's still the looming question of what they do in their spare time.

Windrider is 20-ish, right? Does he go to college when he's not out fighting crime? What else does he do for a living besides caring for his sister, and how old is his sister?

At least J.S. can do typical Rich Idiot With No Day Job things and probably doesn't need to attend school due to having several doctorates worth of information in his head.

Arguma's a 7-foot+ tall alien who looks like he's part whale. He couldn't exactly have a secret identity even if he wanted to.

@ Nman: I don't think Charity would mind. :P

Charity is a college student in computer sciences - her free time is spent with video games, guns, computers, or locking her room-mate out of the room so she can work on said computers the 1337 way. She's very fond of her father, but doesn't see him much since he's a very busy/wealthy business man. Her two older brothers are mechanics.

Alright, posted. Since you appear to be in a different time zone, instead of waiting 8 hours for a response, just assume Wildcard goes along with whatever Charity comes up with, be it walking or driving or whatever.

Daniel/Windrider is 22, his sister is 16. When not fighting crime he attends college, his parents left them enough that he won't have to seek a day job for a while.

Reporting in with completed profile.

Posted again. Isaac is right about to see Lucunditas fall out of a tree...

Kali is 26 and pretty much spends her time acting like an unruly college student. Even though she's never been to college XD

She does have a college-level grasp on advanced biology though.

Based on the way she's been acting so far, I'd say she's really like an Adult Child...

In other words a male college student.

If this plotline with Jack hadn't kicked off, I was going to have Strix investigate the crater as well.

Probably for the best this way, since otherwise he might have had to fight Arguma The Living Tank.

@Statofarius: Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I though your character could only transmute to metal's, and as far as I know, leaves aren't made of metal. Is there something I'm missing here?

Jack doesn't age, and his body is can transform itself into different materials- that means that if any part of his body touches metal, his body becomes metal, and he can transform his arms and limbs into metal weapons.

The metal part was an example. You want me to nerf it down?

No — if he can transform into materials other than metal, then I want you to explicitly state that on the profile. Don't even say, 'he can transform into metal,' say that he can transform into any physical material or the like, if that's what he's truly capable of. In the DC Universe, there are several heroes that went by the name 'Amazing Man', who have the same powers that you do. They can transform into metal, rubber, stone, even fire, and just about anything else, and at the same time, they weren't overpowered. So there shouldn't be a problem with it.

I'm terribly sorry, it was my poor choice of words, but yeah, he can transform into any material he touches. Material, not elements. So if he touches wood, he can transform into wood, same goes for rubber. Again, it was a poor choice of words, the metal thing was supposed to be an example.

Okay, good to know. Just make sure it' on your profile.

Hmm...where to take Strix for now...

Have him run into Arguma and Tertius while investigating the robot?

Have him try to steal the shards of the robot's eye lens for further analysis?

Some other third thing?

Why don't you have him try stealing parts of the shards for future analysis? The Non-registered need to stay in the loop somehow.

So should he try stealing the shards Arguma brought in or slip through a tightly cordoned off police zone and past at least one tank-sized superhero to try and recover some of the leftover ones?

IS it "Captain Nuclon", "Nuklo", or "Nuclo"?

...Call him whatever you like.

@Dblade: It'll probably be best to just sneak into the Police Department and steal the shards them. Robert currently has them into office, but is busy... 'relieving himself', before he gets the shards transferred over. So if you go in now, well, there's your chance right there.

Perfect.

Edit: Shards secured, unless you'd like to have him interrupted or have a "chat" with Robert in which case i'll edit the post.
