[b]Supergirl's Response
Unless I learn something valuable from my Intuition roll (not likely on a white result), I shall take my cape off and attempt to wrap it around her in an effort to control her positioning, then if successful, return her to the others at the aquaduct.
Before you can something slams down upon you from above pushing you straight into the ground leaving you stunned and powerless.
The pressure eases after a moment but by the time the feeling of powerlessness fades you manage to pull yourself out of the ground both the battlesuited woman and whatever hit you have gone.
Shaking your head it suddenly occurs to you that the feeling of powerlessness came right about the time before you were hit from above and looking around all you can see is the aquaduct where you came from and the city beyond, even looking in the direction where the woman was running you can't see anything out of the ordinary.
If you return to the Aquaduct you can see Maelidek talking to the figure in the trenchcoat (who looks around your own age) whom is leaning against the wall of the aquaduct looking still winded from the fierce battle you interrupted.
With the flaming person no longer appearing as a threat, I shall fly after the fleeing battlesuit persona and try and catch up with them.
in the time it takes you to realise the flaming flyer is down you've overtaken the battlesuited woman who promptly backs off your hearing can hear her swearing vehemently so she seems to be really scared as she tries vainly to try and continue towards the port.
so; I check the shrouded figure who fell and keep my sense of the magic active.
"Sorry I just need a moment by the way are you with her or more of them?" the youth in the trenchcoact asks as you land near him (or levitate nearby if you don't want to land of course)
WFR
He seems to be breathing easier now and seems about ready to get up his clothing shows evidence of having been close to fire possibly some of the fireballs the flaming flyer threw came close on a number of occasions but he seems otherwise fine.
Maelidek:
Spoiler:
You're also sensing Kisaku who seems to be radiating a strong magical force
This seems pretty easy to follow, the only thing I would like to get some answers on are missing details.
1. Why was she in the spaceship which fled Krypton?
One story is that she was sent to protect her baby cousin Kal-El only he was fully grown when she awakened on earth another version of this was she was sent to kill him as her father was supposed to be very bitter about his brother being married to the woman he loved (Smallville version) or the creation of PZ meant any member of the El family served as portals to let the PZ prisoners escape and possess others unless they had sunstones protecting them (Comic version).
I personally believe in the classic story where Kara's home city was blown off of Krypton intact and he worked trying to save everyone but was only able to send Kara to safety.
2. How did she get to Gotham City and what's the story behind Batman finding her?
A massive meteor composed of Kryptonite was heading for earth superman tried to knock it off course but when its true nature was revealed Captain Atom did it instead the resulting blast freed Kara's ship and it ended up in Gotham because Superman was there along with Batman as its sensors locked onto Kal-El.
3. How did she get around to training with Wonder Woman? Did Superman or Batman arrange this?
Originally she was living with the kents but I believe went to live on Themyscira so she could learn to use her powers without harming or alerting the locals to her true identity the Female Furies kidnapped her forcing Kal-El and Batman to pursue them to Apokolips where Batman forced Darkseid to back down and when she returned to earth Darksied tried to kill her but Wonder Woman beamed her out replacing her with evidence that along with the reactions of others present made Darksied belive he had succeeded in his callous act of spite. Kara stayed on Themyscira learning about her powers so when she returned she could operate without revealing her identity nor that of Kal-El
4. What happened in the Darkseid adventure, in which he captured her and brainwashed her to become the leader of the Female Furies? Who are the Female Furies? [ooc]
Oops see above
I like the character a lot, I just never understood the entire DC Universe upheaval. I'm still trying to piece together the Legion situation. It's difficult trying to grasp that decades of comic stories were thrown out the window "as never happened"! Does anyone have the answer to the above questions? I would say if I can find out the answers to these questions, it would be best to pick up the character right after she is rescued from Darkseid's grasp and first don's the Supergirl costume.
I have to admit Identity Crisis annoyed me the most as everything from then on seemed too much like a Columbo episode except I don't mind Columbo I just expect better from Dc and Marvel who should have known better with the mess called Civil War.
I did like how they introduced Supergirl though although I assume they wanted to mess with Kara's background because they wanted to leave their own mark in the Superman mythos even though it really wasn't needed but thats just me, you might want to have your version have a different costume or even hero identity if you want the Darkseid bit left in since he'd hardly miss Superman's cousin since her return but thats up to you.
<you see Maelidek gesture and command the air to obey his commands in a strange tounge (( the gestures at the mini tornado seem to imply this)) then fly toward the fallen figure>
<< thinks to himself; hmm red whirlwind; perhaps the Flash perhaps has Mr. Freeze who perhaps made this ice block captured in a wind tunnel; but that makes no sense as he is usually in Central City though the his speed is legendary, I better see if that tornado can be stopped before anyone is hurt or more destruction ensues>>
Your spell reveals Supergirl and by stopping her flight around the flaming flyer causes him to fall to the floor of the Aqauduct where he lies stunned as well as shivering.
]then I will move to check on the trench cloaked figure who fell; will also keep my senses open to any magic in the area.[/quote wrote:
He appears to be resting currently.
Maelidek:
Spoiler:
There's a strong source of magic in the opposite direction from where you're currently facing specifically in the direction of that explosion that you can now hear but Kisaku has turned to look at long before you sensed it
To Supergirl:
Spoiler:
]Is there water in the aqueduct and if so, how deep is it? Is there anyone nearby the fleeing battlesuit person who might be able to prevent their escape? [/quote wrote:
The aquaduct has very little water in it, most of what's present came from the melting wall of ice the impression you get is that either its closed for repairs somewhere ahead or hasn't even opened for use yet.
And so far noone has pursued the battlesuited figure yet...
Your career as a superhero can be as long as you like, just assume she's just arrived having recently returned from living with the Amazons and is just starting her attempt at a normal life or if you want you can introduce whatever background you want because this doesn't have to follow the comic history after all
Does it appear as if the flaming menace has been reduced in power after my freze breath? I'm uncertain what the red and blue effect is, from me? Something else?
Last I checked super girl's uniform was the same as her cousin's unless there's a more up to date source they're seeing exactly what Jimmy Olsen saw on his photo in last weeks episode of smallville!
Kisaku moves to help any wounded. Otherwise he moves to smother any fires started by the fight. He defends himself when the need arises.
For the DM's eyes only** spoiler omitted **
When you arrive you see someone caught in a blue and red mini tornado being buffeted by what looks like pieces from a wall of ice that blocked one end of the aquaduct, nearby hovering is what you assume is Maelidek whilst moving off rapidly both towards the port and upwards are two others the one heading to the port appears to be a battlesuited figure whilst ascending upwards is some kind of silvery disc.
Slumped on the aquaduct floor is a figure in a trenchcoat who seems to be catching his breath.
Spoiler:
Your power has detected a second explosion from somewhere else in the city this one is considerably larger than the first and seems to be on the opposite end of the city as far as you can tell
After my spell is cast; will fly in to support supergirl by moving toward the ice in the aquaduct.
the plan to stop the fight and sort it out is what I had in mind also and seems wise.
<As Maelidek flies in; you see only his face with a long trail of darkness until he stops moving; kind of like a dark head comet; when he stops the image of his body reforms>
"you in the ice; please identify yourself and state the reason for this disruption the the cities peace."
The figure is flying above the wall of melting ice, the figure on the floor of the aquaduct with the trenchcoat is the figure you saw carrying what looked like the Batman earlier but there's no sign of whoever he was carrying anywhere nearby. I am assuming that map wasn't clear enough to show the line below each stick figure indicating the height they are above the ground
The battlesuited figure turns noticing you for the first time and pulls immediately back heading towards the port area of the city without replying.
The man dressed in rags looking on from atop the otherside of the Aquaduct looks over at you and then turns and heads off whilst the silver disc starts to head upwards.
The flaming figure now shrouded in winds which you're certain aren't part of your earlier spell expecially as they appear to be coloured blue and red at time circles him causing him to rotate rapidly whatever flame he was projecting earlier seems to have gone out and it looks like the odd mini tornado is also carrying some of the ice wall along with it so you're not too sure how close you can get before the resulting winds start to drag you in too.
The man in the trenchcoat has slumped to the ground he appears to be exhausted.
I am assuming she was the one you were addressing?
That's odd I thought Super Breath was pretty much automatic will double check but it seems its a power she hasn't developed yet, doesn't mean you can't pull a stunt using Hyperspeed though
Let me know if I can, if I have to try it as a stunt, let me know what to do.
If memory serves you spend Karma to attempt it and then just use the power rank to roll against and the degree of success indicates how well it results, I'd say in this case it would cost 20 since there is an ice wall melting nearby after all
I'll continue to block blows from the flier and see if he realizes that his efforts are in vain.
"Perhaps you need to cool off for awhile so we can sort out this situation"
I know that in previous comics Superman had a superbreath and could blow really hard and even freeze things by instantly cooling them off. Such powers were not on the character sheet. I'm assuming such things are unavailable but I thought I'd ask anyway. Is there any water in the aquaduct? If so how deep is it? Is this guy on fire so that I might be able to dowse out his flames? If these are not options, I might like to grab him and throw him into the ice wall to cool him off.
That's odd I thought Super Breath was pretty much automatic will double check but it seems its a power she hasn't developed yet, doesn't mean you can't pull a stunt using Hyperspeed though
Ok, a bit tough to decipher what is going on, who is who, that sort of thing. I got the impression that the flaming flyer is attacking at someone who is up against a wall of ice and unable to go any further. What does this person look like? It sounds like the fireball flyer and faceplated iceperson are working together? Does this appear accurate?
Hovering nearby is this silver disc. I'm a bit confused about the person looking into the aquaduct. [/quote
Okay the flaming flyer is airborne throwing fireballs at the young man in the trenchcoat whom has been stopped from retreating any further by the woman in the battlesuit whose faceplate is gushing forth waves of cold however the proximity of fire and ice is causing lots of steam preventing either from directly attacking their opponent.
The silver disc which for visual reference looks like a mixture between a Fantasticar and the goblin glider is hovering nearby and seems to be preparing to enter battle, however another person is present whom is dressed in rags that make it look like he's been in an explosion and he seems content to watch the ongoing fight happening on the floor of the aquaduct before him.
Quote:
Since I'm uncertain who is who, I think my best option is to try and break the fight up.
If space permits, I shall fly in between the attackers and their target. I shall attempt to "take their blows" relying on my invulnerability to protect me. I'd like to move back and forth and stop as many attacks as possible. If I understand things correctly this should place me between the fireball attacker/ice generator and whoever they are attacking (which I'm confused on), and coming up behind them will be the individuals I just met outside side. This should box them in.
You fly in an block the attacks causing the flaming flyer to react with surprise at your presence.
The battlesuited woman promptly pulls back from the aquaduct and is allowing her ice wall to evaporate whilst the pilot of the silver disc has now noticed you and the weird gleaming aura surrounding the disc has now turned slightly green...
Quote:
If I don't understand the scene correctly, let me know.
Hope this makes it clearer will post a link to a map of the area on Friday.
A fierce battle is being waged, the flaming flyer is repeatedly throwing fireballs at someone whose hemmed in from going any further down the aquaduct by a massive wall of ice and is narrowly dodging the attacks of the flyer and a battlesuited figure whose faceplate is projecting waves of cold that is solidifying into ice... mostly because both her attacks and that of the flyer are catching each other turning them into steam which is obscuring their target.
Hovering nearby is a silver disc its pilot appears fused to the vehicle and someone is looking on from atop one side of the aquaduct looking down at the fight below.
Initiative Order:
Supergirl 10
Spoiler:
Thanks to your hyperspeed you're up first any questions before acting?
Skater 10
Freon 10
Mad Bomber 7
Flaming Flyer 6
Kisaku 6
Combatant 4
Maelidek 3 Yes you can it only means you miss the first round
Question: At what age is the character in her life? High School, College, out of College? How established of a Super Hero am I? Also is it permitable to add to contacts...those listed were Batman, Superman, and Superboy. Can I turn Superboy into the Legion of Super Heroes, as that's where she would know Superboy from anyway?
Batman's fine although you won't know his secret identity, also Superman but Superboy is unlikely since he's currently deceased and the only other one is a villain.
The Superboy associated with the legion is in supergirl's future depending on which version you're referring to and as I remember it they tended to make sure visitor's from the past didn't remember their visits to the future anyway.
The one mentioned by Maelidek is the one introduced in the Superman and Batman series who arrived following the destruction of a huge Kryptonite meteor that was heading for earth.
She's barely begun her career so she's as new at this as the others.
"It would seem that the burning buildings contain no citizens in peril nor the freeway. Swooooosh.........The aqueduct requires my attention."
I immediently fly towards the aqueduct while using my x-ray vision to see what the current sitation is.
Ahead of you a fierce battle has broken out a man literally aflame is throwing fireballs at some figure dodging both his attacks but also those of some woman in a full body battlesuit whom is literally blasting beams of intense cold and ice from her faceplate.
A silvery disc is orbiting ahead of the current path with its pilot seemingly trying to circle round behind the battle.
Their target appears to be some boy in a makeshift costume or it could be simple clothing and a mask however he appears to be using debris lying along the aquaduct to block the attacks.
The disc suddenly fires a trio of missiles that blasts into the aquaduct the backblast sends the two attackers backwards and even supergirl felt it enough to blink before being blinded by the blast.
Coming to her senses she sees Maelidek and Kirasu closing in even as the battle ahead appears to be getting worse...
Initiative please, roll a d10 and list your Intuition score
Select the talents you fill fit what you see the character as possessing.
The limits listed in the book allow you to reduce your resources rank by 1 to add an additional talent but I'd recommend not reducing resources below Poor.
You might want to pick up Student which i believe is a talent but what you feel best will be fine.
hmm; more details come to memory; I am still adjusting to the flow of events in this world
someone was carrying someone who looks like batman being pursued by the firely flier.
some robot pursued other heroes or perhaps government agents; I saw a battlesuit; but not much details. I tried to intervene, but was unsure of my success; I thought that those under this pile where in more urgent need.
I shall endevor to help with the fire.
<cast spell to increase the rain upon the burning fires; a real downpour>
What Kisaku covered with earth, Maelidek's spell quenches what remains of the fires that burn in the debris surrounding you.
Kisaku's earth wave has cleared much of the debris but the displaced matter has now coalesced into a literal wall which is still shaky to say the least...
Meanwhile a fierce battle has broken out down the aquaduct one that even makes the fires within the city look dim in comparison...
Greetings heroes; First; is there anyone else caught under the debris here; second; there is a flaming creature attacking a small craft and that needs to be stopped and sorted out; the small craft is badly damaged; I believed it crashed or deposited probably heroes around here; Third and last; I believe that the craft held one local hero of great fame; but ultimately a mortal man, The Batman, I am unflamiliar with many local customs and peoples, but his fame is known even to me.
I am Maelidek, I am here to help. I give a courteous nod to each.
To Maelidek:
Spoiler:
You actually saw someone flying past holding what looks like Batman and being pursued by a figure on fire also flying and throwing fireballs at whoever's carrying Batman and following after the flaming flyer was a silver disc being piloted by someone who was talking like a robot with two passengers one in a battlesuit that has boot jets and the other seemed to be dressed in rags as if he had been in an explosion
Dropping down from the sky, arms outstretched, with one knee up, I land next to the two figures speaking with one another.
"Supergirl at your service. Anything I can do to help?"
As I speak, I scan the buildings with my x-ray vision for unseen victims trapped in the fire. If I do not notice anything that immediently requires my attention and if the situation seems to be under control I shall turn to converse with those I stand with. If something more important catches my eye I plan to whisk off, leaving introductions for later.
Supergirl
Spoiler:
It actually looks remarkably clear as if someone cleared the area before it blew up. There is evidence of fire beneath the debris and they seem more like someone was throwing incendiary grenades however whatever blew up the freeway connection wasn't from whatever is causing the fires as far as you can tell
As Kisaku and Maelidik meet unseen high above the clouds a slim figure flashes through the air cutting close to the upper atmosphere.
The fire below catches her gaze and swooping down she sees a number of fire engines pouring water over a number of burning buildings, a number of figures seem to be rushing around this dark and glittery city but what catches her attention most is a sparkling disc of silver barely holding its own as weird weather gusts around the city keeping the air otherwise clear of air traffic.
She notices something aflame flying down the aquaduct where some kind of massive explosion has sealed off the freeway link from the city to the motorway.
Standing on the debris two figures are talking to each other as another trio including the flying disc she witnessed earlier are pursuing someone down the aquaduct.
Introduce yourself supergirl
Meanwhile the flaming flyer curses aloud.
"Stand still you pint sized reject!" he hollers sending forth another gust of flame down the aquaduct as his intended victim employing various metallic debris strewn along the aquaduct to keep moving and shield himself from attack... however a silver disc looms out from the city as one of its occupants blasts ahead using boot jets to cut across his escape path even as the pilot of the disc seems intent on growing a new set of arsenal to replace what he had just used to blow the freeway junction.
AHHH! FASERIP game! Please, please, please can I join?
Sorry, don't mean to be pushy, I just love this system.
How do we go about picking characters?
You can even create your own character, just above should be a link to the discussion thread where there's a link to Marvel.net where you can find copies of the relevant pdfs to design your character, of course you could also select from the link to Heroic Personaes or check out the site where Supergirl's stats are located.
Finally managing to reorient yourself you find yourself standing on what looks like a large field of debris formed from what looks like the shattered remains of some bridge or overpass and to one side looms a dark and glittering city where you can see some great fire off in the distance.
The shrieking of sirens is very apparent as is the figure who meets your gaze obviously this fellow has just seen you appear and from his gait he looks like he has been busy searching through the debris making you wonder what had just happened before you appeared...
Well, I dont know if anyone is caught in this rubble; I will call out loudly for a few and move through the rubble; ARE YOU TRAPPED; DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE; SIGHT OR SOUND! and watch for clues.
I am quite strong compared to a normal; will move some pieces of the larger rubble and search. I am a bit split on what to do; conflicted; but the combat will have to wait and trust in the police; if anyone is trapped here; they have no other help but me.
A figure suddenly flows out of the debris.
It takes you a moment to realise he seems to be forming directly out of the ground and the debris slowly merges with him as he stands upright looking around him almost uncertain of his surroundings...
I actually watched the episode where he and Naruto fought in the arena then missed the intervening episodes where both he and Naruto were in giant modes and Naruto head butted Gaara.
It does mean I may have to introduce the Twelve... but then there is the Hand of course...
Look forward to see what develops!
Umm....what are the rules for creating a character? Can we make our own using the Marvel rules? Can we take a pre-existing DC character and use that? If so, how powerful of a character is allowable? I'll be on the internet tonight so hopefully this can get this worked out. Would like to try the game. Who's gamemaster...Hopeless or Skater? Or is this the same person? I'm confused!
Check out the threads for the discussion of this game you'll find a link there for creating your own character or even looking at a roster of heroes to select from if you wish.
I was originally playing in this game but have taken over running it and have chosen a new identity for gm purposes.
hehe I went the wrong way on the chart; rolled a 36 as base roll; dont know if there are any modifiers. So I guess that is a white.
After a while you move on using your spell to defuse the fire as soon as the fiery flyer heads off.
You notice signs of traffic as unwary locals move out of the area away from the debris and fighting that can be heard even over the wailing sirens of the fire engines and police cars which don't sound like they'll be coming any closer at the moment.
