Children of the Atom (Inactive)

Game Master DeJoker

Mutants of the School for the Gifted
The characters are heroes/heroines each striving to help make the world a better place for both mutants and normals. But as always there are those who do not think mutants belong in the world of normals and others who feel that since they can they should exploit the world for their own benefits. Then of course there are the other individuals that fill out the full spectrum of the Marvel Universe. This game takes place in a slightly alterred universe within its own timeline within the multiverse a sort of What If if you will where somethings are different and somethings remain the same.



As the subject states this is for Character Creation Finalization because it states if you post to this thread your character will automatically be posted to the Character tab. Where I can hopefully take a look at it.


Trying to reactivate game.


[Story Teller]
Estaban and Takula are relaxing in a low-scale joint within New York City enjoying its amenities at Takula's expense as usual when they hear some hollering from outside and glancing out the window see several hoodlums accosting a business man. They seem to be playing keep away with a small brief case like item and the man seems rather frantic about it.

[Esteban]
Esteban excuses himself from the table and heads out the door, trying to find a good spot to change into uniform. If there's no time for a whole costume change, he will at least put on his mask and "horns" and wrap his cape around himself.

[Takula]
Tak does some quick math and leaves an appropriate amount on the table. Then heads to the bathroom to change into his costume in one of the stalls. Once in the stall he pops a small case out of his belt buckle, drops it on the floor, and then shrinks down next to it. Grasping the case which is now relatively suitcase-sized, he flies up into a nearby vent, and changes into his uniform.

[Story Teller]
Esteban changes into his costume on the roof and stashes his backpack to be retrieved later and then moves to the edge of the roof to see how things stand.

Takula slips into the bathroom and sets his pocket case down on the floor and shrinks down to 6" and while hovering over the floor picks up the case gets into the venting system. Once changed he flies out and around the building, as the vent goes out the back of building.

The two heroes view the situation from their different angles and basically see four hoodlums accosting a man in a business suit. A thick briefcase lies open off to the side and the four hoodlums are playing keep away with a purple iridescent canister that the man seems rather frantic about. Then things go from bad to worse as one of the hoodlums misses his catch and the canister hits him in the head and shatters covering him in purple iridescent goo.

Their is but a brief moment of shock with those gathered, before the goo covered guy screams and continues to scream with the scream changing from fear to rage from human to inhuman as his body grows and changes.

OCC: You are both 1 area away from the current situation and it is your turn.


[Esteban/Bantha]
Bantha leaps down near the "suit." He looks at the creature and then the suit. "Hey man, what's with the purple kool-aid goop?"
He uses his dodge action to form a big shield between the creature and himself.

[Story Teller]
Bantha's question seems to snap the man in the suit back to the hear and know but his only response is to turn a flee. The other 3 hoodlums are also beginning to back away as their friend finishes its transformation into something not so nice looking. Meanwhile Blindspot is guessing that he was unable to effect the target because it was in a state of flux.

Mutated Human

[Esteban/Bantha]
"Hey Ugly! Why don't you lie down on the sidewalk while we get some science down here to help you?" Bantha stays behind his shield, not bothering to look for his tiny friend.

[Takula/Blindspot]
"Oh no you don't. We want answers." Blindspot chases after briefcase man, trying and failing to take his eyesight from him. "You got handsome joe handled, right Bantha?"

OCC: 15 results in a White (Failure)

[Esteban/Bantha]
"Absolutely. He's going to lie down and wait for the friendly white coats to arrive."

[Story Teller]
The man in the suit continues to run and seems to be totally oblivious to the 6" man flying after him.

Meanwhile the transformed or mutated hoodlum lashes out at Bantha its clawed hand passes through the shield as if it were not there. Although Bantha does notice the dispersion of the remnants of clothing it had on its arm just before those claws rip into his flesh.

OCC: 55 results in Green (Damage: 27)

[Takula/Blindspot]
"S&*&!" Blindspot glances back at Bantha and decides to round about and charge the chemically altered man. He slams into him forcefully.

OCC: 57 results in Green however if the column shifts to attack apply to a charge when I am shrunk, I believe that puts the charge at Unearthly (+2 cs for Shrinking +1 cs for Moving 1 area) which makes it a Slam result. Even its just 1 shift from the Movement that puts it at Amazing which is also a Slam. Damage is 36 for Endurance +2 for Area move for a total of 38

[Story Teller]
OCC: Okay we hold on to that and let Bantha react first since Blindspot would (A) Need to have noticed what was going on behind him in his blind spot ;) and (B) Turn around and get back there

[Esteban/Bantha]
"Ow! And what? My shield?!?" Bantha is aghast at this turn of events. "Time to put you down, Grimace!" He gives up on the shield and attempts to wrestle ugly to the ground... failing utterly.

OCC: Strength 1 results in White

[Story Teller]
As Bantha moves to grab a leg and begin his grapple, Blindspot slams into the creature knocking it back and yanking it out of Bantha's hands. The creature travels several feet and crashes into and through a building.

Note: Collateral damage is negative Karma

[Esteban/Bantha]
Blindspot slammed into the creature as Bantha tried to grab it, causing him to miss wildly. He notes to himself that they may have to practice their teamwork a bit more. Bantha tries to put up a better shield and wait for the enemy to come out of the building. "Hey! That looked like it hurt!" he says to Blindspot.

[Story Teller]
OCC: What do you mean by a "better" shield? This is to say plz post a description in more detail what Bantha is doing to put up a better shield. Also you might want to make a Reason or Intuition check on that to hopefully get some kind of insight perhaps.

[Esteban/Bantha]
OCC: He felt that he must have made a lousy shield the previous time, so now he will really focus. I will make the roll you requested in the dice roller.

OCC: Intuition 5 results in White

[Story Teller]
Blindspot hovers next to Bantha, while Bantha works to reform his shield feeling that what he had formed was somehow faulty. However, as he finishes reforming his shield he realizes that it is no different than before and perhaps there is something he is overlooking in regards to the properties of his shield and the make-up of this mutated thing they are now dealing with.

As this passes through Bantha's mind the two easily hear and spot the mutated creature clawing its way out of the rubble it had been in. As it gets to the jagged opening within the wall it lets out an unearthly howl, like some animal challenging those that had attacked it.

OCC: You two have initiative you are 1 area apart form the creature.

[Esteban/Bantha]
OOC: I assume it is going to target me. Am I remembering the rule correctly that I can choose to Evade this round? Then Blindspot can pop him/it.

[Story Teller]
OCC: Yes you can make all the assumptions you want and act upon them as you will :wink: but I cannot say up front whether those assumptions are true or not. Of course you can only Evade an adjacent attacker and if both sides choose to evade nothing happens. However, your partner is acting at the same time you are and if he engages that kind of makes your action rather moot.

[Esteban/Bantha]
If the ugly comes forward, he probably will only see Bantha and attack him, at which point he will try to evade. Blindspot can do whatever is strategically best.

[Story Teller]
OCC: Okay Bantha to move forward I need at least two things from you.
1) Your Evasion Roll
2) A more specific description of what Blindspot is going to do along with any roll needed to do that.

[Takula/Blindspot]
OCC: Blindspot will use Sensory Alteration to try and blind the monster.

Blindspot flies down and arcing behind the raging perp. He tries to remove the creature's sense of sight, but his concentration is off or the creature has been augmented beyond his ability to affect.

OCC: 29 results in a White (Failure)

[Esteban/Bantha]
OCC:
(You saw the rolls?)
*** Could not find the roll -- although I do recall your Evasion being good enough for the following to happen.

[Story Teller]
The creature charges Bantha and he barely side steps the claws as the arm once more passes through his shield with minimal effect.

Blindspot attempts to blind the creature but is unsure if he has affected it or not.

OCC: Your turn what do you plan to do this round with the two characters?

*** Seemingly missing actions for both Blindspot and Bantha but I have the results of Blindspots action

[Story Teller]
Blindspot sends the creature tumbling down the road this time, trying not to create any more collateral damage. Whereupon the creature gets back to its feet. Blindspot then says, "What should we do with this thing? It does not seem like we are affecting it all that much."

*** The above takes place before the following as it created the break but I do not have a corresponding action for Bantha

[Esteban/Bantha]
"I can try to destabilizing it if I can get hold of it."

[Story Teller]
Blindspot replies, "Well I cannot hold him for you, the size ratio is too great, and this is my most effective size. Now while I could take on a larger size and try to restrain it, that is not what I am good at."

[Esteban/Bantha]
I was hoping you had blinded it and I could more easily wrestle it to the ground. Do you have any way to weaken it or knock it down again?

[Story Teller]
"I cannot say if I blinded it or not, however it does not seem to be overly effected if I have. Perhaps I should determine what its prime senses are and in case vision is not."

OCC: Keep in mind you control what Blindspot does, and you should be able to see the character sheet. Yes/no?

[Takula/Blindspot]
OCC: Identify Primary Sense 73


Male Mutant, F20,A10,S20,E40,R6,I10,P20, Health 90, Karma 36

Blindspot tries again to blind it. Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 22
Bantha then tries to destabilize it. Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 74
