Realistic or Modern Another welian trainwreck: Dumb Superhero Academy Shenanigans

[call me rae]

There is no combat system.

Okay thanks for clarifying that.

 

[TheDox]

So I'm now leaning heavily towards Telekinesis and possibly Telekinetic constructs, as I was previously (before wanting a more 'general' set of psychic powers).


Hopefully that's considered less overpowered, although I may still try cramming a couple more powers in...


Again, not doing it for power or OP-ness, I just like having a lot of options/utility.

Fear me mortals, I'm working on the profile layout as we speak.

Here's a preview - behold, the Heroism Meter!

Less Heroic	Points	More Heroic	Total	Description
Flighty	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Courageous	00	Do they have a pair of steel, or do they prefer to exit before chaos strikes?
Selfish	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Altruistic	00	Are they motivated to help others, or do they help themselves first?
Chaotic	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Orderly	00	Are laws and regulations "suggestions", or written in stone?
Cruel	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Kind	00	Are they genuinely nice to people, or do they enjoy causing distress?
Reactionary	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Proactive	00	Are they content to watch events unfold, or do they jump in and guide things?

There's no set amount of points to distribute among the traits - some characters will be genuinely good people, and some won't. That's life. Each heroic trait (or lack thereof) goes up to nine points, with 5 being right in the middle.

Same, I'm feeling a little apathy coming onto this character, a selfish reactionary he might be.

Dude, that's just what I was thinking. xD

Mine will probably chaotic and flighty


Strange (NOT!), but she will also not be full on bad

I'm looking forward to that, your font is killing me though lmao.


P.S This sig is perfect if I say so myself.

Courageous, Selfish, Chaotic, Cruel & Proactive


Yeah probably like this.

 

[welian]

It occurred to me that you all might like to see what one looks like filled out. I'll use a character of mine that @Zahzi and @Giyari would recognize, Jules. She's basically a timid perfectionist.

As you can see from this example, she's very orderly, but not really the nice or most helpful person to be around - she's dead-centered on her own work and coming out on top. She's also very flighty and reactionary, meaning that she avoids conflict and doesn't try to get involved on whatever is going around her - a "not my problem" sort of woman.


All total, I used 21 points - 21 of 45 is around 46%, which means she's probably fail at being a federally sanctioned hero if she were a student at this school.

 

[Uncultured]

Just wondering, is there going to be a numerical point system for powers and combat prowess, or just personalities?

Yeah, the font....... I get that a lot.


And yes, the signature is awesome, and I love it~

 

[welian]

There is also a point system for basic stats like strength, speed, and intelligence. That is the one that gets limited by your character's rank. There is no system for combat prowess, as there's no combat system. Besides, I am running on the assumption that the vast majority of you will be playing teenagers. As a general rule, unless one is in an organized martial art or gets into a LOT of fights at school, the average high schooler isn't exactly a professional duelist.

Lol, Gawwwd. "I'm 16 and a double black belt in Krav Maga"


NOPE

Hey, I'd let some stuff slide if their parents like, owned a dojo or something. I've met people who are oddly skilled for their age, because it's something they literally grew up with.

 

[philocaly]

It's sad to say that I've seen characters like that before, 2 OP 4 U. At a way too young age.

 

[Uncultured]

My character is a 14 year old orphan emo with complete skill mastery and a fifth degree black belt in BJJ and a sixth degree black belt TKD who carries three samurai swords at all times and has a hidden armory in the school under the main stairs. Sue me.

Tokyo Ghoul rps are a hotspot for those things.


I HATE IT!!!!

I also have daddy issues and I'm super ugly with long blonde hair, tan skin and beautiful emerald eyes and I weigh 5 lbs. But everyone says I'm fat.


I cry every time I see characters like these.

Yes, those characters suck


Flaws are interesting too!


They are a load more interesting to write!

The worst are the super fast people who don't have super speed who watched way too much Naruto before writing their posts who think that moving at the speed of light requires no powers and that everything can be dodged through the power of B*******.


Also, to those who may have thought I was serious before, totally kidding


or am I....

YES!


I mean it is okay to dodge well!


But not get hit at all?! BS!


Hope yer' not.
