farik Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 This isn't actually a WWYCD thread I was just wondering which repeat WWYCD thread characters people enjoy reading about. So I'd like to accept nominations for most popular WWYCD thread characters. Once I have the maximum pollable number (10) I'll post the actual poll so if there's a character you want to nominate you should nominate them quickly. Only one nominee per poster please.

OddHat Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll Husky and his amazing Huskatonian Technology! Talion - I'd like to GM this charater Bowman - Nicely cynical Gwen the Fairy - Cool personality, fun history Sailor Io - cool sounding campaign world Special Agent Trent - Nothing like a hero who hates his job Dr. Pain - I'd like to play this character Starguard Uncle Slam Anthem Mask of Justice - Great golden age character Blackcat Flippant - Great name, cool power Microman II - Well thought out backstory and personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaphysician Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll Mask of Justice: seems to represent the Golden Age/quasi-Pulp elements to a T, and results in interesting, yet logical ( sort of ), responses to scenarios. ( case in point: the Seeds of Evil scenario ) Husky/Kenneth: Am I correct in assuming this guy is pretty much the preeminent hero in his world??

farik Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll Husky/Kenneth: Am I correct in assuming this guy is pretty much the preeminent hero in his world?? Not really. The Leviathan 5 are the number 2 team (the #1 team is "The Penultimates" they're a super organization consisting of the second best of the world, unlike the best in the world their egos aren't as big so their an amazing team) but Husky has a huge amount of fame and a veritable army of robotic support. So Husky isn't really pre-emminent but alot of the world thinks he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farik Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll As I said I can only take one nominee per poster so the current list is Husky Tallion Bowman Mask of Justice StarGaurd And I'm nominating Uncle Slam So there are 4 slots open. BTW: someone listed already who didn't make this list can be nominated by someone else to be included. Remember only 1 nominee per poster please.

Zed-F Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll Much as I like many of the other characters, I have to go with Flesh Gordon for hilarity value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKJAM! Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll Looks like nobody wants to be the one to close out the nominations.... This would be an...interesting hero team. Mind, the CVK characters might have real problems with Talion's powers. Battle cry: "For the love of God, stop shooting at me!

Chuckg Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll ... you know, Starguard's exactly the sort of person you'd stop being unlucky around. Removing curses is something she does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's like a walking good karma fountain. AAMOF, I'm going to petition the DM for a "Luck, Usable by Others" thing. SHe's about had it anyway. Edit -- Jeff just approved a hefty "Suppress vs. Unluck, 0 END, Area Effect, No Range" as Starguard's 'default' VPP allocation when she's walking around. Thanks for helping me think of it.

Blue Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll BTW... how will this be decided? On the entire post history or do we post a new WWYCD for the nominees and see what they do with it?

nexus Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Re: WWYCD popularity poll "Talion's got scars that never heal!" "Starguard could heal 'em" "Could not! They never heal!"

I don't think anybody on the New Sentinels has Unluck, but it'll be interesting seeing whether people notice this property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, my answers all feel kinda generic anyway compared to you guys I was planning on posting a new thread with a poll. I'm going out of town for the next 4 days though so if that final nomination arrives I won't be able to start the poll until Sunday at the earliest. Once that last nomination is made though I'm fine with someone else posting the poll using the 10 nominees identified by this thread. Husky Tallion Bowman Mask of Justice StarGaurd Uncle Slam Microman II Sailor Io Flesh Gordon ??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
