The Good, The Bad and The Spandex: Discussion Thread

Sorry I haven't done anything yet, been really preoccupied lately. I'll write up a concept when I'm home from work.

Its OK.

As for Miles and Jack, that's up to Cwest but my guess is that they took one look at the battle at the Train Station and said, "screw it we are outta here." He can always bring them back when he wants to.

While I don't want to give players the impression that a leitmotif is *necessary* to join the game, if anyone lists all of them in one post here I will link to it in the Signup Thread.

Traveler is kind of a contrast: he's attracted to paranormal stuff (hence his travels) but he does not want to interfere (he's a reluctant hero, but he is a hero.) Maybe his theme should have existentialist overtones?

I don't think Emp got Jones' phone. But if she did (or another agent's) she might be able to hack at least their location. Keep in mind tho that TALOS has more than technological defenses.

School is in session!

Well, it will be when it actually starts.

So anyone else have any ideas for Tethystra?

Also if I would've known you were making a school spinoff of this, I would've had Siren signed up for that one, not this one.

It's not too late. Maybe you could transfer her there? We could even make an arc of it, have a TALOS agent show up to recruit her.

That works. I'll just have to think of a different hero to bring into the main game.

The idea for the spinoff came after you joined Thrall. But sure you can transfer the character.

BTW I'm joining too, with a new character.

Ok, so to elaborate:

Sebastian is more or less just looking for a fight at the moment. Whether he gets it by antagonizing our local Science Hero into attacking him, or allying himself with her against Dawn doesn't matter to him. In other news, he isn't looking to kill anyone, either- it's more or less both him and The Shadow merely wanting to test his new form.

Tl;DR: Seb wants to fight something to test out his new undead body and The Shadow agrees.

For the record, Dawn cannot teleport, he just flies *very* fast. And he didn't leave, he's in another nearby rooftop trying to figure out what the deal is with this intruder. If he finishes off Eisendrachen for him, so much the better.

Kinda like Amethyst

Speaking of which, this seems like a good point to bring Amethyst back in since he was hospitalized right along side Warlock.

All right, I'm gonna try and post for Siren and Tethystra relatively soon, if I can find something for them to actually do.

In the meantime, I will say that I may or may not transfer Siren over to the school game, and thus I'm making a new "hero" for this game. I guarantee he'll heat things up.

Ooh. Spinoff.

Erm, I don't have any other character ideas...

Would bringing in one of Rine's old copies work? Or should it be a whole new concept?

EDIT: Done. His abilities are inspired by One Punch Man (although not nearly as powerful) and his likeness is based on Jack Darby from Transformers Prime.

So, I made my character also... And just in case, that house Dimensional Guard is using? It was made by Merlin.

Ah. That would explain it

I'm assuming that Dawn casts a shadow, by the way. If he doesn't, well... sue me xD

Yes he does. Except when he glows really hard, which he 's not doing at the moment.

Is the art gallery the same thing as the museum of art? If so, I should probably wait to bring in Ignis.

Speaking of which, Tethystra is still basically in limbo. What should I do with her, seriously??

She could intervene in the fight between the Belladonnas and Umber.

I don't think so; the Museum has already appeared twice in the game -once when the Neonazis tried to steal The Conductor's flying train, and when it almost got burnt down by Warlock- and it had more than just art exhibits.

The Art Gallery is probably the same where The Abstract manifested during Halloween. At this rate, people are going to think its haunted.

And yeah, at the very least Thethystra should notice the Evil Mojo going on near her. What, if anything she will do about it is up to you.

All right, she can intervene, I just wasn't sure where in the casino this was happening.

And to be honest I'm not entirely sure what's happening because it's being a Mind Screw.

Unless Tethystra is telepathic, she will just see some women acting very strangely... but being a sorceress, she probably can feel The Shadow's influence upon them. She probably doesn't know what that is beyond some primal evil tho.

All right, finally, finally posted for Tethystra again. Sorry about all that.

Wow I am just, really not doing things.

Just one concept per post, right? Cuz I dunno if I wanna add in Rudy's Parents' business stuff as a concept or not, still.

Do it at your own pace. Only when it might slow things for other players should you worry.

And yes only one Concept per post.

Right. And now we can play multiples? Guess I joined at the right time, then.

Now, Concept.

Otherwise known as SUD, Super-empowered Under Detention is a relatively low-key organization tasked with keeping the just-powerful-enough superheroes/villains under control. This could range from a mere impossible intellect to someone who is simply Made of Iron - so long as they're in the range of superability without being one of the bigger threats, SUD keeps a heavy eye on them. They often deal with methods of reformation, should such an individual go awry with their almost-stoppable powers - anything from rotting in a cell for a while, to being sent to a much larger police force, to even taking them on as temporary SUD officers. Founded by a young Sylvester Ulysses Dent, SUD began as a minor volunteer organization in several neighboring cities. Over the years SUD has become more prominent, and is slowly but surely making its way across the nation to protect the innocent civilians however they can. Their newest headquarters is, of course, located in downtown Easton.

Your typical SUD officer carries the following: a high-powered, long-range stun-gun; a black & gold uniform, complete with light armor and a helmet with protective visor; and a sweet specially-issued moped for fast traversal.

(dunno if that's like good enough or not, but if not, then there's an edit button for a reason)
