I'm really curious what has (potentially) has happened to our characters in this bleak future. Dammit, Grate! Stop writing so good!

Telling us about the NPCs would be clear spoilers, and there's probably spoiler stuff surrounding our own characters... Plus the fact he would be basing the acts of our future characters based off their actions in the present at the time, so there's likely not much consistently accurate he can tell us.

Though I am curious about Benjy and Scales' daughter: How does her parents' genetic structure affect her? I suppose she could be a muggle, yet it should also be possible she inherits the mutant gene. It would also make comic-book sense for Little Amy to manifest mutations and powers resembling her mother.

Also I feel that 15 people doing basically the same things would be kind of overload.

I honestly can see Cornelius being the one responsible for the super prison, and at the very least he would of tried taking over Hightown during those six years. Though if anything, Cornelius was probably making "sinners" drop dead by ripping out their blood iron and then finishing them off with that.

I cannot decide whether Cornelius is aiming to be a more competent Norman Osborn / Iron Patriot or Xorneto.

Cornelius is aiming to be the messiah, to fulfill the one constant wish of humanity: Peace. He will do what he must to bring about that holy world, and to ensure its protection & constant evolution. Trying to compare him to or call him a villain with wicked goals will only anger him.

Just clearing it up right now, does Cornelius have a twin brother and is he pretending to be another guy pretending to be himself?

Xorn reference or did I unintentionally something? Either way, Neil just has his little sister Mimi who's like a shy puppy that obeys her mother mostly because her commanding presence and personality scares the girl. I suppose his dad might of tried getting Neil illegally cloned, but that would of been after losing his son to foster care eight years ago.

Looks like I missed quite a bit last nightsmile. I wonder what happened to Luna and Victor in the future. What kind of experiments were they on?

Look at all these questions that only time will answer!

@Xorn: oh dear, just remembering about him makes my head hurt.

In regards to the RP, this style of G Ming is not my usual style. I prefer to have players interacting with players instead of me feeding events for them to react to. This is only to get the characters out of school and into the wide world out there.

I figured the Benjy/Scales Child Powers thing is pretty non-spoilery and perhaps even unimportant. Just wanted to know if she would inherit either her father's mutant gene or mother's croc-ness (if not both), if her mutant gene would give her powers and mutations resembling mama, if she would just have random mutations, or if she'll be a muggle. Tis possible for Mutants to produce normals after all.

Oh yeah, Grate, if we do teleport to the robber how will that whole event be handled? Oh, and regarding everyone going to the robber: I figured Neil would just make a disguise with the metal in the area when they arrive instead of disfiguring the desks at school.

I wasn't entirely sure how to handle the teleport but there it is. If anybody else wanted their character to come along say they grabbed onto Blake just before they left. I'll leave it up to the next GM post as to how close they managed to get to their intended target - they might be a little out as Blake is unpracticed but should be quite close. Also Blake is still glowing as he accidentally activated his physical enhancement power by focusing so hard but he doesn't know that himself yet.

Hm... Is there enough metal in the area for Cornelius to sufficiently disguise himself (entire body coated, adding several inches to his height, enough material to mold a feminine appearance)? He would try his best to disguise himself, and the only holes he would leave would be just small enough for his eyes/nose/ears.

Well, he would merge it all into one suit so he wouldn't need to constantly hold it together. He already has skill with molding and moving the materials under his control, so the most likely problem would be his reaction time.

Well, I would say Cornelius honestly doesn't believe anyone there can truly disprove his beliefs. He fully thinks himself to be right, not out of arrogance but because his beliefs make perfect sense to him. Thus its a lot like trying to tell a devout Christian to their face their religion is wrong: They'll look at you funny, and nonchalantly reply you're an idiot for not understanding things the way they do.

There's literally nothing you guys could say to Cornelius to make him "realize the errors of his way". He'll just get mad the more everyone tells him off and his beliefs. Because to him, his beliefs are true, right, and perfect. So another analogy: It'll be like telling a scientist (Cornelius) that cold moves to warmer things and completely insisting on that even as they repeatedly tell you that's beyond stupid. So, yeah, the best you could hope for is Neil temporarily suppressing his beliefs to play people to his advantage.
