Here's the discussion thread.


Dotting in!


Female Human

I'll get a profile properly sorted soon


Defenses: Dodge +7 (+12 Evasion); Parry +4; Fortitude +7; Toughness +7 (Defensive Roll, Uncanny Dodge); Will +8; Hero Points Gained: 1; Current Hero Points: 2 (second line) (third line)

Elton, slight change to order of Zion High sending a recruiter and working with the firefighters during the summer.

During the first month of summer break while at work and shadowing the firefighters (from the safety of the fire truck) during a rescue, one of the firefighters got trapped in some falling debris, making it impossible for the other firefighters to be able to access where their friend was trapped. Parker made his first save by phasing through the metal beams that had trapped the firefighter to get him out before where he was trapped got consumed by the fire.

That save made the news, and though Parker was not shown (nor identified) on the media, it got the attention of Zion High, who found out Parker's identity after talking with the fire chief of the station.

As Parker's mother is adamant about keeping her son's privacy/identity confidential, could the recruiter from Zion be someone with mind-reading, and gained the knowledge of his name that way as opposed to the firefighters revealing Parker's identity to the recruiter?

Yes. That can be a viable alternate. :)


By the way, I'm using this name and avatar, but let me know if I should switch to my character's real name (Catrina) or have a more human avatar.


DOT (big big dot)
I will make a Mach 3 profile tonight!


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

We're missing one. I'll private message him, after he responds we can start.


Hola. Como esta.

Nice to be picked. Let me catch up a bit.


OK Dotted. I think that I'm good to go.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Alright, we will start tomorrow.


Female Human

Are we allowed to come to school via private transport?

As Jessie has a tricked out bike (extra security. GPS. Bonus Toughness and Speed. Total 15pts)

Yes. You are allowed to come to school via private transport. :)

@EJ

I was wondering, i had 3 options for what was killing her, just wondering which one would you have for this game/world?

Radiation
Dark Matter
Anti-Matter

PS.
I linked her outfits and looks in her profile. Only main difference i think would be the hair colour

Gotcha. Well, Dark Matter is off the list. After all, for the astronomers scanned all the sky using all colors of the spectrum. And they never found any evidence that it exists. Anti-matter can be detected, but in minute amounts. So, Radiation is the only logical choice.


Female Human

understood


Wonderful introduction, by the way!

If you mean me, I appreciate it. Wasn't sure if it covered the needed points. Yours I too think covered the looks of her

Though since my description of people etc is somewhat bad, I went with the picture link in her profile. Barring the red hair

Father is Japanese, mother is English.


Defenses: Dodge +7 (+12 Evasion); Parry +4; Fortitude +7; Toughness +7 (Defensive Roll, Uncanny Dodge); Will +8; Hero Points Gained: 1; Current Hero Points: 2 (second line) (third line)

Dealing with half-night's sleep and currently half-asleep. Making a coffee. Once it kicks in will catch up on the gameplay.

Will also organize/update my profile (though that might not be until tomorrow).

Where is Zion City located?

In, as the DC Universe book says, the Central US. In Missouri.

Thank you. I googled it and top results said there was not a Zion City in the DC universe.

Bit late, thanks for the invite! :)

You are correct. There isn't a Zion City in the DCU, as of yet.

That should work.


Female Human

Hope im not over stepping with how she acts. im just seeing it that shes been on a short leash most of her life, finally being able to explore, a lot of things are just exciting and new to her, so shes a bit reckless. i have a few other thoughts about the current scenario if people want to ask. nothing NSFW, i just feel i should offer instead of just blurt it out on the boards :P i can always spoiler it too


I've been fine with it.


As long as no sentence ends with the words 'gimp suit', then I'm fine.


Catrina looks around guiltily and hides the gimp suit, carefully ensuring the sentence doesn't end with those words.


Female Human

There's something about Jessie:

Jessie is Poly and Bi. So she doesn't mind flirting or being flirted with. And if anything blossoms romantically, shed make sure how her partner feels about her being Poly


Timothy's theoretical response:
Sex outside marriage is a sin.

I agree:

She agrees to a point. While I agree whole heartedly.

I'm good with it, and am comfortable with how the Young Justice series handled such developments with the 'fade to black/cut to different scene' after showing the characters start to kiss technique.

Parker's outlook:

Parker is hetero, though would be not opposed to poly, as his outlook has been more shaped by 80's romantic comedies, which typically depicted 'the boy gets the girl'/'the girl gets the boy' monogamously. A primary goal he would have regarding any romantic relationship(s) he develops is that he does not do anything to hurt his partner(s) feelings.

In a theoretical situation that the girls are both trying to seduce him into kissing one of them before the other one, he might get flustered as he does not want to hurt either of their feelings by kissing the other one. So such a situation would probably resolve by whichever girl kisses Parker first.

Based on the dynamic Catrina has with her grandmother, Parker's attraction to her might grow.

For the Archie comics veterans amongst us: so far from Parker's perspective, Catrina is the 'Betty' and Jessie is the 'Veronica'.

His ya-yas' advice to him, summed up is "Treat women as if you are interested in courting them but not as if you are already courting them."


Defenses: Dodge +7 (+12 Evasion); Parry +4; Fortitude +7; Toughness +7 (Defensive Roll, Uncanny Dodge); Will +8; Hero Points Gained: 1; Current Hero Points: 2 (second line) (third line)

Parker's (analog) watch does not have a glass lens. Instead the lens of his watch is made of synthetic ruby.

7 is max non-powered human limit for attributes. Is there a maximum number of skill ranks for non-powered humans?

I did not see one mentioned in The Basics or Skills chapters, and some of the high DC examples include things non-powered humans can do.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

7 is the max for non-powered humans. I think there isn't a maximum number of skill ranks. I'll ask around.


Defenses: Dodge +7 (+12 Evasion); Parry +4; Fortitude +7; Toughness +7 (Defensive Roll, Uncanny Dodge); Will +8; Hero Points Gained: 1; Current Hero Points: 2 (second line) (third line)

Thanks.

Parker's perception 'training' was initially from playing sports, then babysitting his younger cousins, then during his brief time of petty crime: to make sure no potential witnesses were paying attention to him before pickpocketing and during his joy rides (to prevent car crashes).


Wayne Kyle-Lane Bruises/Wounds: 0/0; Hero Points 2/2; Conditions: None

Well, I see people have been busy while I've been at work. 31 posts. Hopefully we won't have too many runaway posts. I'd hate to have to quit my job. :)


Catrina's outlook:

I'm not necessarily looking for romance or the like. This is high school, though, so I'm not opposed to crushes and drama and such. These things happen!

That said, Catrina's a relatively innocent farm girl who's got a permanent chaperone (that she doesn't always appreciate). So it's another complication.


Wayne Kyle-Lane Bruises/Wounds: 0/0; Hero Points 2/2; Conditions: None

Wayne is more straight than not. He's messed around with a friend or two but romantically is into women. Probably a 1.5.

As for being poly, he's not looking for an exclusive relationship now.

Yes, they are excited to play.


Female Human

I was simply surprised with how much I could RP. Due to time zones I'm often either the last to post or the first. Seldom between.

I'm sure this won't happen much. But it is a refreshing change of pace regarding the type of games I've been playing


Female Human

Carina, you're welcome to spoiler a conversation with Jess if there is something to be talked about before training

I was thinking about a hero name

And I came up with the following

Guyver Unit 7
Unit 7
Mk. VII

And so, her hero name is simply Vii (Vee)

Thanks. It was quite the effort :P

As a roleplayer, I do not want to read the girls locker room spoilers.

Viewing the campaign as if it was a series we are watching, I want to read the spoilers (as viewers see all the scenes).

Which way would you prefer us to treat such spoilers: as roleplayers/non-viewers or as viewers?


Female Human

Peeping Tom! :P

He might have unintentionally started to be one. Adjusted my last post in gameplay.


Female Human

Are we mixing Marvel and DC?
