  1. Re: Powerless Exactly. Come to think of it, one of Sir Johnstone's other universe contacts will probably get agitated and start investigating.
  2. Re: Super-Frankenstein! Actually, if I recall, the left is just superman dressed as Batman for some reason. What makes it even stranger is that he doesn't copy anything from batman. That's his weakness. Batman has no powers for him to copy so he can't copy Batman at all. That means that Batman needs only the simplest of tactics to beat him. Man, what an aweful weakness. "I'm vulnerable to a rare radiation from my homeworld!" "Well, I'm vulnerable to humans." What?!?
  3. Re: Angel, the worst original character concept ever? Remember, Angel's blood heals any wound it touches. Don't ask me why, it just does.
  4. Re: Powerless The problem is, they never violated any laws of physics. Iron Man can fly. In our world you can't make a flying suit of armour like Tony Stark yet, but the laws of physics in the Marvel Universe say that you can. So the scientific knowledge that they had suddenly becomes worthless because they don't know the laws of physics of this universe. (Or they do and can build supergadgets again). Of course, nothing is stopping the more realistic Pulp Hero style people, like Rocketeer, (A guy with a real world style rocket pack, and a gun.) or the 'Stage Magician with no real powers' version of the Shadow.
  5. Re: The Alien Hall of Fame 1.) Bajorans from Star Trek. They were the real Humans. When Star Trek's humans started seeming too sanitized, after Picard and with Miles O'Brien/Julian Bashir, along comes a species with all the passion of present day humanity. They have a past full of defiance against a warrior race occupation just like the British during the WWII Blitz and guerrilla warfare like the French during WWII's Nazi occupation. They have the religious fervour of Humans today. They really were Humans with strangely arousing nose ridges. (or maybe that's just me.) 2.) Dax. Male/Female forms alike, sie was cool. Even turning hir back on hir Starfleet career to carry out a promise that half of hir made a lifetime ago and kill somebody that half of hir had no quarrel with. Spock. The original Vulcan, the logical hero, the man who showed us that Vulcans shouldn't suppress emotion: simply acknowledge it and move on. Kira Nerys. The hotblooded warrior who had the gall to admit that she hated the federation on Star Trek! And yet remained a good guy.
  6. Re: Your Definition Of A Super Hero? My definition of Superhero is two-fold A) A superhero doesn't kill. Yes, that suggests that Wolverine, etc, aren't superheroes. Even suggests that Captain America isn't a superhero. He isn't. He's a warhero. Not that there is much difference since... 'Superhero' is a subset of 'Pulp Hero', which means people who are the heroes in over the top adventures, often with powers beyond those of mortal man or gadgets far in advance of real life or the like. So Cap is a Pulp Hero but not what I call a superhero. As of the movie, Iron Man is a pulp hero, not a superhero. Superman is a superhero. Batman is a superhero.
  7. Re: Bizarre Spell Ideas Pose, Pout, Wiggle. Effect: +8 Com, +20 PRE, Only For Seductive Purposes Target/Area Affected: Self Duration: Persistent Range: Self END Cost: 0 Only To Make Seductive/Friendly Presence Attacks Solely For Purposes Of Stopping Combat (-1), Only Versus Targets Of Appropriate Sexual Orientation (-1), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2) 7 Real Points Mages are all the same, they’re only after one thing! ‘Course, after one look at what she was doing with her…and what she did with her…well, its not like I’m getting paid a lot to kill her, is it? Not so much 'Bizarre' as 'Unorthodox But Effective', as my PC found out.
  8. Re: Powerless Come to think about, it Batman did kill his parents. It has probably been retconned out of existence by now, but Superman once built a time machine and, as a birthday present to Bats, he went back to Crime Alley on that fateful night and stopped the mugger. Then when he got back to the present, there was no Batman and Bruce Wayne was happy, but a kind of spoilt brat. But because there was no Batman, Gotham was a sewer of violent crime, ten times as bad as it is with Batman. So Clark Kent visited Bruce Wayne, revealed his identity and told him about Batman. Even though this Bruce was just a spoilt brat/rich playboy, he was still (Bat)man enough to go back in time and hide in the shadows of Crime Alley, then Shoot His Own Parents!!
  9. Re: Powerless Sir Johnstone is going to suddenly be more like my original character concept: a butler working for a superhero team, who somehow knows almost everybody. Now he becomes: a butler working for a bunch of rich idiots who have decided that they should go fight crime, and who somehow knows almost everybody. He would scream in rage at the damnable creature responsible. Of course, being close friends with the incarnation of reality, a couple gods and other powerful beings means that this is less likely to happen to him than it might to other heroes. He has no powers/superscience/magic to lose. StrangeIron, my Iron Man rip off, is suddenly a normal multibillionaire genius, so he attempts to put together a slightly lowtech equivalent of his suit/gadgets and hunt down the creature responsible. He has enough money to pick up: a rocket-pack (they do exist!), body armour, crash helmet with built in radio and a small oxygen supply (a one hour tank), a taser gun, a pair of pistols and spare ammo. He probably wouldn't be affected in the first place, because I specifically bought a power designed to stop people doing this whole 'it's a dream, you're really just a normal guy daydreaming' sort of thing. It really irritates me to be told "Make a superhero!" and then have him become a normal person. It's not that I don't like normal characters, I just don't like it when people get their 'Everyday Life' in my "Superhero Adventure!".) New Leaf, my current character, is suddenly a normal police negotiator with a green thumb, a fetish for plants/plant related things/the colour green and a harem of ex-cops/ex-crooks. He stand right where he is and talks the mysterious being into reversing his plot, because New Leaf really was happy with the way things were.
  10. Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath Green Lantern, huh? Well, you know what I always say ... It ain't easy being green!
  11. Re: Spreading Good WIll I also thought I'd have this whole 'It's not easy being green' theme going, where I have my character put up motivational posters and things of his role models, She-Hulk, Kermit, various kinds of Orcs & Orks, Hulk, Skrulls, Plant-man, Poison Ivy, Beast boy, and so on. Plus he'd paint his room in the team base light green with dark green curtains/furniture/carpet.
  12. Re: Spreading Good WIll I've just started a new campaign (hasn't started yet, but we've done 'describing the characters we'll be making') and my character is perfect for this. Aside from being immortal and indestructible (He's one of the incarnations of life, looks like a male Poison Ivy. Whenever he gets killed, another body is formed out of nearby plant-life.), he has no actual powers. He does, however, have enough charisma, comeliness and social skill to persuade bad guys to turn over a new leaf. He's supposedly doing it to stop the loss of life that having a lot of bad guys causes, but he empathises with the people he talks to as well. So presumably he would just keep doing what he does, with a little more 'convincing the public that this is a good thing'. Of course, he does occasionally talk his target into something else like, rather than convincing Harley to become a superhero, he'd just try convincing her to dump Mr. J and hook up with Ivy.
  13. Re: Origin in a Box If the game seems benevolent, he'd have his investigator approach the designers with proof of the games effects. Then, if the designers were either benevolently aware of it or completely unaware of it, he'd have them keep making it and start having the charity he set up distribute it to appropriate people. Mostly people like recovering abuse victims, people in dangerous jobs that help people such as the police, all martial arts based superheroes (whether to learn the new style for themselves or to help them to counter it) and any other superhero/trainee-superhero who's willing to be called on whenever Sir Johnstone needs them. Plus a copy for every contact he already has, of course.
  14. Re: Origin in a Box Sir Johnstone would probably not mind the extra heroes, but he might asking for some time off work, to go and help mentor all the new Heroes, who then will be more likely to look up to/obey him. He'd also buy a controlling share of the company and assign an agent to find out if something fishy is going on.
  15. Your team-mate/fellow super Gadross, who has powers based on sound and can outplay/outsing any rock star ever, claims to be the Norse God of Rock. He also says that he is the son of Thor and his wife, the Goddess Sif. Now, whether you believe him or not, his family is in town. The God of thunder and his wife walk through the door. It's your mom and dad. (If your character's mom and dad aren't usually very muscley, they are now.) They look around, see you and say, in a surprised voice... "Name! Um, we've been meaning to speak to you." (If the character is unrecognisable in heroic ID, it doesn't matter, Thor's a god, he'll see right through it. If the character is an orphan, etc, s/he might not recognise hir birth-parents. But they explain, give a perfectly good reason for not telling you sooner. They tell you that obviously they don't expect you to just drop your adopted parents, if any, jump into their bosom, metaphorically, and join the family. But they would like to get to know you and eventually, you will become a god of whatever your character thinks is most important to him, like Godross is God of Rock Musicians and Their Fans, Thor is God of War and Honour and Odin is God of Knowledge and poetry. So WWYCD? And what would they eventually become God of?
  16. Re: Why do the Champions waste so much time being "good citizens?"
  17. Re: The Terminator Franchise RPG Well, that would be interesting if you have it, but I mostly want the ones that can be reprogrammed. My interests lie in massive crossovers with heroes from every franchise I can think of, helping each other against their usual foes. So a reprogrammed T-800 and John Conner, fighting alongside the Charmed Ones, Buffy and Harry Potter against the army of Aliens style Xenomorphs, then bonding over the angst of being 'the chosen one...or three.'
  18. Re: THE BOOK OF DRAGONS -- What Do *You* Want To See? Dragons.
  19. Re: Why do the Champions waste so much time being "good citizens?" ...Champions? Is what you're asking, from my point of view. If they didn't do that stuff then they're just WWE stars with powers and more clothes.
  20. Re: The Price of Power Sir Johnstone might finally get a power since this is apparently a mystical effect and he has been made immortal by the power of an ancient Magic Being (He refuses to call it a god). He would most likely get some improvement to his health, since he can, with enough time, heal any wound or illness. The problem is, he would have been behind this if it hadn't a) required the deaths of people, targeted a hero, and c) been found out. As it is, the murders probably mysteriously stop and the powers gained fade. He is responsible for that, but few ever realise it. White Knight, the power armoured hero, would not get powers because his powers come from cybernetics and then a power armour suit on top. He would ask his team mystic for orders, since the mystic is in command when matters of the mystical occur. He will not kill the culprits.
  21. Re: Superhero X and the Fur Con of DOOM! I carefully didn't mention what would happen to Furry supers so that people could decide for themselves. Remember, the more interesting/funny, the better!
  22. Your character is chasing a lead on a villain who keeps turning people into athropomorphic animals with an Animalisation Spell. It doesn't seem to hurt anyone, just turns them into half-animal forms. You've tracked him from his latest crime scene to a FurCon, where he decides to go out in a blaze of glory, by giving the whole room their greatest wish. He turns everyone in the room into the animal-human-hybrid that they would most like to be. Your character, being within the radius, is also affected. When you apprehend the villain, he tells you that there is no 'cure' for this, it's a one way deal (something to do with a demon or something). What animal is your character hybridised with and how do they feel about this sudden involuntary plunge into the Furry Fandom?
  23. Re: The Terminator Franchise RPG Thanks, found the Cherry Darling. Also got the Uncle Bob (T850)
  24. Re: What does a "20 Comeliness" look like to YOU? First of all, its very hard to answer part two of this question. I don't necessarily see Comeliness as defining what makes you an ideal mate for someone. My brother is very heterosexual, to the point that thinking about considering sex with another man squicks him out as much as furries apparently squick some people out. Yet he still admits that even he would marry Brad Pitt or Colin Firth, so...yeah. That probably makes Brad Pitt a 20 Com. Personally, I'm celibate, straight male. But I were married, my 'five' would probably include Christian Bale. Yeah, I'm straight, but it's Christian Bale. So he's a 20. I'll go ahead and pick five real, five cartoon/comic, for each gender that I call 20 Comeliness in no order. On the real women's front, we have: Christina Ricci Linda Hamilton Summer Glau Gillian Anderson Uma Thurman On the Comic/Cartoon women's front: She-Hulk (not Jenny Walters) Barbara Gordon Pamela Isley Rogue ? On the real men's front: Brad Pitt Christian Bale Antonio Banderas Pierce Brosnan Colin Firth On the Comic/Cartoon men's front Bruce Wayne Tony Stark Steve Rogers ? ?
  25. Re: R-O-L-E or R-O-L-L Both, please. After all, I may love 'role'playing (being a writer and all does help a bunch), but I can also enjoy 'roll'playing (especially when I get writer's block). In particular, no character of mine has ever failed to join a party, even after being introduced to an existing party in midgame. Once, in Shadowrun, I was playing a healer/pacifist dwarf shaman. Despite the fact that he had no reason to particularly like the PC who I met first (who would introduce me to the rest of the party) and even though the character was a gay male, and was therefore completely uninterested in the attractive female elf, he still started to follow her around like a lost puppy/bodyguard. To explain it away, one of my contacts that I hadn't defined yet suddenly became a kid-sister who was an elf and looked very similar to the PC, right down to the same model of cyber-arm.
