Dr. MID-Nite Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I'm using Mirage in an adventure soon. Anyone have clever ideas for using her illusion powers to best effect? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Re: Illusion ideas.... Bus full of school kids = Bus full of Viper Agents My god, the Heroes are Naked! And on live national TV! Projected Illusion: Support wall of building becomes roomy alley. Illusion of Brick villain taunts move-through prone heroes in fron of wall. Team of agents with Viper class gear (Stollen from Viper?) to simulate heroes powers painted with illusions to simulate heroes. Crime spree in front of news team, bonus points for racy crime (robbing Strip Club, Cheerleader's Contest, Miss Millenium City pageant). Projected Illusion: Macho Male Hero is hit with EB, revealed as cross-dresser! Giant Monsters Attack city! Crime wave while heroes waste time. Final monster stis on top of huge pile of C4. Boom.

jackalope Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Re: Illusion ideas.... Mirage convinces the characters that they have been selected by God to safeguard - or possibly destroy - the New Messiah, or maybe it's the Antichrist. Oh wait, that's been done. I'm a big fan of the Fake Alien Invasion ("Wait...those aren't saucers, those are helicopters with fiberglass shells!"), the Fake Giant Monster/Giant Robot Attack (or even the Fake Giant Mirage). But those are all stolen from Mysterio. Here's an entirely new one: Mirage sets up a scene in which a person who appears to be one of the heroes kills an innocent in public, either in cold blood or on accident. The kicker: The dead person appears to be that character's own secret identity!!! There's a headache for you, trying to clear yourself of a frame up for killing yourself. If Mirage is smart (and she is), she'll have arranged for the body to look just like the hero in question, and replaced any forensic info on the character with Alternately, one could frame the character for killing one of his own DNPCs -who is actually being held hostage! The ransom? Confess to the killing and go to jail, or the DNPC really dies. Can the character find their lost love with every cop and hero hunting them down? Here's another one: One of the heros in the team with a secret ID appears on television, and removes his mask - he says it's time to come clean about who he is. But it's not the hero! It's some other guy displaying the same powers, and claiming to be the real him! I don't know where to go with this, but it could cause all sorts of havoc for the right character. And remember, no matter what happens, when Mirage loses she is so distraught by her failure that she offs herself. Or so it appears... Oh, and if Mirage is bested by a female superhero - time for the faked "adult home movies" to hit the internet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
