    The Incredibles Writeups

    This is my 25,000th post, and it seemed appropriate to stay on topic and take a risk...

    I am not that great at character write-ups. I don't have the efficiency edge some do, nor do I have a great attention to detail. It's fine to be that way writing NPCs (there's the "I know what I mean" paradigm, so even in combat if you forget something you can just correct it on the fly), and even for a PC of one's own, it's quick and easy to overcome as, after all, one is making it up themselves. But for established characters...well, I suck, IMHO.

    But I loved the Incredibles and unless I missed it, I didn't see whole writeups yet, which surprises me. I might easily have missed it, I'm behind on some threads, but they aren't in the two or three major Incredibles threads I'm aware of and I did a quick search on "Incredibles" and didn't see anything.

    So I am taking the plunge and contributing for my 25K post the Incredibles...please use it as a basis for refinement, of course.

    I did Mr. Incredible and Elasti-girl as standard 350 point characters for orthodoxy. I did Violet and Dash as lower totals, without worrying too much about it or trying to pad to 350, as that seemed suitable.

    WIthout further ado...and I'll be glad to discuss the rationale if anyone asks...

    Just added the HD files.

    PS - forgot something important - I did get some ideas from one of the threads on the Incredibles - thank you to all.

    PPS/Final Edit - I removed the HDC attachments as the v2s are superior and you can get those later in the thread, done also to save space.

    Well done, Z-wil! I think you captured them all quite well.
    Any chance you'll take a stab at Fro-zone or Syndrome?

    Re: The Invisibles Writeups

    Thanks! I very likely will, actually, but later as these took more time than I thought - coming up with 150 disads is hard based on the glimpses we got in the movie.


    (SPOILER ALERT)




    Whoops, I see when I copied and pasted distinctive phrases from Mr. Incredible to Dash, I left in "show time," which Dash never says. He does often say "uh-oh". I tend to think that's worth 5 points - after all, a more knowledgable villain would have known something bad was about to happen when Dash said "uh-oh" just before the hovercraft slammed into the mountainside.

    So why is the thread titled the Invisibles?

    Be that as it may "Zornwill"; answer the question! Why are the Incredibles Invisible?

    Hey, I was letting it slide. I just got into the write-ups, but it did seem weird.

    The +30 was suggested in that original thread, was that you who did so? Someone reputable here did. I guess I didn't consider that he used this for the robot (good call, maybe) and am not sure still as he seems to be able to lift the robot "normally". I was thinking more of when he ripped himself from the holding device in Syndrome's lair. And was trying to emulate a compromise between a plot device and HERO rules.

    PS - hey, no worries about nit-picking, really! I'm interested in that sort of thing.

    PPS - and extra END probably does make more sense or even as an additional qualifier.

    PPPS - (getting tired! time to relax and wind down and go to bed!) - where are my manners? Thank you!

    Re: The Invisibles Writeups

    Isn't there a non-mainstream comic called "The Invisibles"?
    That's what I thought the thread was about when I read the title.

    As for the write-ups, I didn't see anything wrong with them at first glance.

    Yeah, there is, that's the main reason I really hope Ben will correct the title of this and why I posted the other thread referring to this boo-boo. It's a somewhat controvesial Vertigo title. I like it, but not love it. It's a Grant Morrison work with all the attending virtues and vice of his work.

    As to the write-ups, thanks!
