Blue Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! I'll think about it. My concern with joining any campaign (even a PBEM one) is typically my timely participation; If i don't think I'm going to be able to hang in there then I don't start. At the moment the only generated character I have in this vein is primarily water-based and therefore limited (Unless there was tons of oceanic combat), and the back story makes too many presumptions about the campaign world. But if an idea strikes me soon, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! Austrailia was a bastion of power led by a relatively cut of division of the US army. The greatest and most revered man in Austrailia is General Patton. Very unlikely. In the real world, Australia only had about 7 million people during WWII. It had a massive influx of migrants after the war. Presumably this wouldn't have happened if the war had continued. Also, it's unlikely that any US commander would be "the greatest and most revered man in Australia". A "relatively cut off division of the US army" would have been just another division fighting alongside a larger force of Australian, New Zealand, Dutch, British, Papua New Guinean and Fijian troops. In other words, nothing special. You could consider the possiblity that Australia might have elected a Communist Party government. The CP was at its peak during WWII. Without the Cold War it may well have eclipsed the Labor Party as the "left" party of Australian "mainstream" politics. This has the benefit of potentially causing more peoples' heads to explode than merely promoting Patton to "the greatest and most revered man in Australia". I actually started designing a character for this game, but I don't really have the time to play. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started designing a character for this game, but I don't really have the time to play. Bummer. My reason for suggesting this was that the Army led by Patton was trapped on the Continent by really powerful Axis forces. This lead to more action being seen here than in the Pacific Theater. Patton and his Brigade/Company/Division or whatever formed a nucleus around which a successful counteroffensive could occur. Given the drawn out nature of the war a likely result would be Patton becoming a foreign born hero like Lafayette. The end result would be a more American and less GB influence on the continent and Patton could be veiwed more like our George Washington. Anyway that was just one of the "nuggets" that was sparked by reading just the opening paragraph in nexus's call for players. It is his world so I am very much certain I am wrong on this and that nothing of the sort occurred. It was just a fun exercise.

Hawksmoor Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! I think this was asked before but I will go ahead. In the Silver and Golden Age Magic or Unexplained power origins were quite common, at least in the DCU. I wanted to know if an Angelic gestalt with magical or magitech powers was acceptable in the proposed genre. I lean towards the magitech mostly because I want him to hold a weapon. MP with Flaming Sword, Staff, Sheild, Holy Bolt thrower settings(slots) and would like to add a slightly different direction/flavor to the campaign ala Dr. Fate or Dr. Occult. If that is unacceptable to the milleu how are battlesuit/OIF armors envisoned in your game? Would the concept altered to fit symbolicly (Angel) but from a solely high tech end work better?

Hawksmoor Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! Little Backstory on my proposed PC The Crimson Seraph Real Name: Mattiew Malakim Nationality: Naturalized Citizen of the United States of America Height: 5 foot 7 inches (Normal) 6 foot 3 inches (Hero) Weight: 167 pounds (Normal) 167 pounds (Hero) Eye Color: Grey Hazel Mercury-like silver pools Hair Grey and balding Golden in long ponytail General Appearance: Mattiew Malakim is an older gentleman. He looks much, much fitter than his age. In fact since his empowerment he is fitter than many 18 year old athletes. His grey hair is kept closely cropped to his head and his favored attire screams “College Professor!†For an image I think Patrick Stewart is a fine choice, plus Mattiew has that French accent, although over the years he has forgotten all but the most simple phrases and kid songs. When he transmutes into the Seraph he gains muscle mass, height and hair! Although his weight remains the same since his form is infused with a mystical quality. As an Angel-like being, the Seraph has three sets of ivory wings sprouting from his back; his wings must be free for him to fly. Although he can fly in relatively small places, in cramped situations he relies on his two smaller wings, his wings need at least 5 feet of room to work properly. This armored suit is made of modern materials and is a deep red color with tiny golden rivets. When his Infinite Weapon is not in use it transforms into a bracer and sits on his right forearm ready to respond to his commands. Because of the tremendous change in his appearance, Mattiew has decided not to conceal his transformation. He has a Public ID. History: Mattiew Malakim was born in the village of Nantes in the French countryside. His was born days before the war began. His father sent his wife and their young son to England as the war broke out. His father died in the early days of the war. Mattiew was never to learn exactly what happened to his father. His mother, Mariah Malakim worked as a seamstress in Wales, and cared for her young son throughout the horrible early years of the conflict. In 1945, the Malakim’s were granted a visa to the United States, as part of a population protection move designed by Roosevelt and Churchill. 100 Liberty ships departed from Great Britain under bomber and destroyer care. 65 ships made it to Boston Harbor, the rest were sunk by German U-boats. His mother was given a job as a seamstress in a parachute making factory and young Mattiew was placed in a group home for young children. Mattiew quickly proved to be exceptionally bright and was entered into kindergarden when he was four years old. Academics proved easy for him, plus after school he could slip into the factory and spent time with this mother, although they were not allowed to live together. The war drug on an on. At the end of the decade the Atomic age was entered as both the United States and Germany unleashed the mighty power of the Bomb! Mattiew attended good public schools and applied himself well. At the end of the 1950s, with no end of the war in sight, Mattiew was brought before the draft boards. Looking over his records they determined he would be a greater asset to the War Department’s Research and Development programs than as a soldier. Mattiew worked hard. He honed his skills in a number of projects, never as a lead scientist but constant and a tad brilliant. Yet, Mattiew found himself despairing. Would the war ever be over? In the early sixties he found God. Catholic by birth and tradition he had never really believed or possessed faith. Through God, Mattiew found himself a changed man. The steady and inexorable push of the Allies against the dwindling Axis only reaffirmed his faith. The symbol of Free Spirit and the other mystery men gave him and the rest of the world hope. Finally, the power of the Reich was broken. The War was over. Mattiew married on VE day. He married a nice *snip* girl at the local university. He settled down to start a family and began to teach at the college and work on a new an exciting technology from the war: computers. He and Josephine never had children; he believed it might have to do with the EM fields and exotic chemicals he was exposed to for years in the government labs. Nonetheless, they were happy. Time moved on, and for a little while the pain of the war grew less. Then Josephine was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer. The doctors said it was likely linked to the Nazi Saboteurs’ lacing of Pittsburgh’s water supply with an unknown chemical in the 1950s. Hundreds more previously asymptomatic people were also displaying similar disease characteristics. Mattiew and Josephine said their last goodbyes only 9 months ago. She hung on despite pain and debilitation for so long as doctors worked on cures. Mattiew lost his faith the day Josephine was buried. He refused to attend the chapel services at the University as he had for 20 years. He drifted through his work at the department. In his grief he was lost. In one moment of rage and grief, he left his class in the middle of lecture and strode towards the Campus Chapel. There he railed at God for causing so much suffering. For killing his father, who he never knew, for killing millions in the war, for taking Josephine, and for not taking him instead. He shook his fist at the altar. And as he did a glow filled the stained glass behind it. Bursting forth into the room, the light covered Mattiew and entered him. The Light changed him. Recovering he felt a peace, a completeness he had never known was lacking. The statue of the Archangel Gabriel was visible as he sat up in the chapel. Tears on his face he thanked God for his grace and stood up to leave and return to his home. Over the next nights, Mattiew was changed mentally, his dreams became profound vehicles to impart major truths of the universe and God and mans place in it. He found he could speak another language, he knew more obscure details about Angels, Demons, Witches and other ‘magical things’ than he was certain was recorded. He was also changing physically. He was in fact not growing older, but younger and stronger. But the changes would not stop there. A younger faculty member in the Humanities department saw his black board one day and noticed something odd. Instead of recording notes in English he was using the mystical language of the Celestials. Dr. Molly Mathers just happens to have a book on Angelic glyphs so she recognizes and comments to him on it. Dr. Malakim is stunned and begins to hastily erase the board. She stopped him and asked if he knew what he was doing. She asked him what a few of the symbols meant to him. He responded at first dismissing it as a freshman prank but she would not relent. So he told her and as he spoke the words he had written an terrible transformation occurred to him. No longer did Dr. Mattiew Malakim a mild mannered professor of advancing years stand before her instead a vision of divinity and grace hovered in the air, Golden-maned and six winged rippling with power and glory. At that moment Mattiew knew. He knew he was destined for something greater. That the Powers-That-Be wanted to help mankind, and through empowering him with a fraction of their essence he would be that tool. He knew that his powers would continue to grow, but his divine spark was complete in instructing him on how to use his abilities. He set out that day to help people, oppose evil in all its forms, and bring down righteousness on those that need it. Equipment: His Infinite Weapon is a magical construct that possesses the ability to shift between many forms. It is both gladius and aegis for the Seraph. Its magitech construction leaves it virtually indestructible. Only powerful magical forces could unmake it and then only through days of work. His armor is a loan from one of his old contacts in the War Department. That favor is used up, but it could be repurchased or upgraded to a contact if needed. And that is what I have so far. Ideas?

Waited many years to have a child but finally gave birth to Alicia and then 6 years later Richard. They did have problems due to her mothers family not approving of marrying a westener ( especially due to the war ), and as such they have suffered a campaign of racial abuse from the local Yakuzza. Whaterver experiments had been performed on her mother had made here a latent mutant, whose low level effects were a heightening of her physique, she displayed far greater strength and speed than any 16 year old girl could possibly have. Alicia hid her talent but decided she would take up ballet, to help with this she also enrolled in a local china town Martial studio, seeing as the japanese Martial schools she approached rejected her very forcefully. It was on her 18 Birthday that her latent powers developed when she was out with her boyfriend they were attacked and kidnapped by Yakuzza thugs. They planned to stage a suicide pack and hang them in her boyfriends room, They hung him first and as he was dying of asphixiation came for her, her fear and terror broke the barriers holding back her talent, she broke free teleporting madly about the room attacking with her martial arts, unprepared for this they broke and ran. By the time she cut Nathan down he was dead. There was a investigation, the yakuzza killed it. She decieded something had to be done and since the authorities could not, she would. Alicia named herself Sylph after a mythical creature, honned her skills and powers and took to the streets as a superhero protector of the downtrodden and oppressed. Powers Her powers are heighened physical stats, master level Martial skill, and finally versatile Teleportation. She can scan over a wide area and teleport anywhere in the city that she sees trouble, she also uses this power to plan raids and tip of police. She has a very high Dcv but this makes up for the relatively low def and rdef, can deflect and reflect most ranged attacks and finally has learned to teleport other object and to even scramble them, needless to say she does not use this last power on people. She is usefull for a team due her Intelligence gathering powers and ability to Teleport the whole team anywhere in the campaign city. In combat she is more of a distraction for high def characters as her max attack is a 10d martial strike, so she goes for mentalists other MAs and thugs. I imagine her capable of duplicating the opening scene from X2, and as such i realise she is a bit of a Nightcrawler clone, but hey what Teleporting Martial artist isint?

Blue Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! Well, I just sent a character. If it's applicable to the game then I'll have to decide whether I'm in or out. Hopefully I'm not coming across as "unenthusiastic". It's more that I'd love to do this, I'd just hate hit-and-run if I find myself unable to fulfill the time commitment. I sent it in HeroDesigner 2 format; I hope that's acceptable? If not it'll just take me a second to generate an HTML or RTF file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin1 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! Vorsh, We have lots of points. Could you give Slyph some useful NC skills or contacts or perks or talents. Like Fascination, Magesight, and Rapid Healing? Those are from Fantasy Hero, not FREd, although they pop up in HeroDesigner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlin1 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Re: Join Team Freedom! Let me tell you guys something about hearing back from Nexus/Kim: give it time. Nexus is running, like, eighty-four PBeM games at the time being, and I've applied to eighty-two of them. Patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
