OOC Discussion

[call me rae]

Sorry, trying to figure things out. How many points are we allowed to have? I see some with 17, some with 20 and some with 23. Also, seems like we have more teachers than students.

It depends on your power level. For instance if you have a D rank power you get 12-14. If you have a C rank you get 15-17 and so on.


Look at the settings post to see what the ranks are and the superhero part of the accordion (the orange part where you read up on the profile sections) for all the numbers.

@theunderwolf - excellent profile. I like the way you explained her powers. Although a point I'm curious on -why the red eyes? Did they change when she got her powers or was she born with them? Not really important I'm just nosy.


@too much idea ya missed one of the personality sections - stern. Loved the detail pit into your powes though, very nice.


@CRiTiCAL ERR0R I love Leo, I especially love how he has deadpool powrs. That's gonna be badass.


@M0N0 if you every need help with names I would use these three websites.


1. Is for last names, just search the nationality you want German Last Names


2. This will give you lists of names on different themes. Baby Name Lists | Nameberry.com


3. This let's you search names by meaning Names - Meaning of Names


Lol I have trouble with names too and these websites are life savers.

 

[M0N0]

I'm fine with names, this time, I actually searched them up and did a bit of research.


Didn't just slap anything on there and hoped It would work. XP


Might use those websites for a few other Rp's though, So thanks for the links!

Lol I'm the same way all my characters used to be weird fusions of literary characters or illiterations becausey mind would blank.


So I would have this Japanese chuck that was Yuki. Hakaru. Uzumaki. Or some weird like that and people would be like ... um that is not how names work.


Or my regular characters were all Harriet or Harry cuz I couldn't think of better names


Then I found those sites and the names got much better.

 

[Dano]

Feel like a complete noob, but what's a limiter?

 

[call me rae]

Feel like a complete noob, but what's a limiter?

It's a device that limits the characters powers. I think it's described in the overview section of the roleplay. Everyone C rank and higher must wear one - it basically puts them on the level of a D rank or normal person so they don't go around wrecking things until they learn to control their powers.

 

[theunderwolf]

@readingraebow yeah, when she "died" her hair and eyes turned unnaturally red.

@readingraebow yeah, when she "died" her hair and eyes turned unnaturally red.

Cool I was curious if it was a deliberate choice or not. For instance my character dyes her hair green to fit with her tree theme.

 

[Giyari]

Edited Jason's class out as @Zahzi has expressed interest in Collateral Damage, and I've just been informed that Director sis a position all in its own anyway

 

[welian]

RINALDI, REI

Fantastic profile! Everything is clear and to the point. Pretty much a waterbender, yeah? You're free to post them up.

Akachi, Ayo

I'm not taking second characters right now, please resubmit Ayo after the five-post period outlined in section eight of the profile instructions.

@Giyari[/URL]


Then Jason is finally approved as well

Awesome! Screw you for making me read such a long bio though!! xD No, you're fine, the only issue is that you need to axe one of the secondary powers.


Also a great profile! Her powers are simple and straightfoward, I love it. I'd like you to go through and spellcheck the profile (there are some punctuation mistakes here and there) but after that, you're free to post her profile up.


@Giyari


Then Jason is finally approved as well

I'll just leave him out of the rp for the beginning, please don't delete the post, I don't have it anywhere else.

 

[welian]

Also a side note to everyone - @Zahzi was my co-GM for the original roleplay that this is based on, and @Giyari and @TheDaftStudent were in that story as well. So if you have any questions about the history of the setting, such as "The Rapture Incident" or "The Muffin Incident", feel free to tag them and ask.

 

[Dano]

Do we need permission to be rank A or just for S? Also - I cannot locate the power level and points table. Saw it once but cannot seem to locate it again


p.s - Is there a way to send individual messages to people?

 

[philocaly]

NOTIFICATIONS WHY U NO NOTIFY ME.

 

[sorrow made you]

@welian, mkay! Axing out perception bit when I get online. =w= b


OR should I axe out the adrenaline bit? O_o?


Which one makes more sense? Dx

Powe levels are under the settings and location tab, below the timeline.


I don't believe you need permission for an A rank just an S rank.


Here are the points

• E: 9 to 11 points
  
• D: 12 to 14 points
  
• C: 15 to 17 points
  
• B: 18 to 20 points
  
• A: 21 to 23 points
  
• S: 24 to 26 points
  

And to send a message to someone specifically you click in their icon and select start a conversation

 

[Zahzi]

@Giyari


If you want the Collateral Damage class, go for it. I DON'T think Red would be a great fit for it honestly. xD


Also, totally called How Not to Kill. : D

Thanks for the info! I guess because I'm new I don't have the ability to start conversations? It's not showing up as an option (yet). So power points are related to rank, what about the Heroism meter? Is there a limit on those or can it be whatever?

You have to have 10 posts and have been on the site for 24 hours in order to have access to start a conversation.


Yes, power points are related to rank. The ranks are in the... Setting/Locations tab, I believe.


As for the Heroism Meter, it all depends on your characters personality/disposition. The more you fill in, the more it leans toward the right side of the scale. The more you leave uncolored, the more it leans to the left side of the scale.

Ahhh, yeah you'll be stuck without PM access for 24 hours and until you have 10 posts on the site, it's to hold off spam bots and the likes


I wouldn't worry too much, it's not that much of a wait and I're bound to get 10 posts in the mean time!

 

[Dano]

Thanks for all the advice! (I'm over 10 posts now so just waiting on the 24 hour thing...)

  Less Heroic	Points	More Heroic	Total	Description
  Flighty	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Courageous	9	Do they have a pair of steel, or do they prefer to exit before chaos strikes?
  Selfish	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Altruistic	6	Are they motivated to help others, or do they help themselves first?

  Reactionary	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	Proactive	9	Are they content to watch events unfold, or do they jump in and guide things?

  
  
  Personality
  
  
  Valor
  
  
  All of his military training is still fresh in his mind. His mentality still perceives him as a soldier. In the event of violence, he will run towards the origin. He will keep civilians out of the line of fire. And he will throw himself in harms way to keep them from harm.
  
  
  Wrath
  
  
  Red has been known to have quite the temper. Worse, he knows how to break someone's limbs in such a way they can't walk again without a cane for the rest of their lives. To legitimately anger him to this point takes awhile, but doing so signs your own expiry date.
  
  
  Sarge
  
  
  "I make training hell so that war won't be."
  
  
  Anyone who has ever said training under Red is pleasant is a liar and needs to have their kneecaps removed. He has been known to drive your soul into the dirt before dragging it back out into the light when they were ready to survive the horrors of war.
  
  
  Fortunately, his job doesn't require this anymore. So there won't be as many traumatizing experiances for the new victims students.
  
  
  Veteran
  
  
  Red is no stranger to combat, nor is he new to the theaters of history's warfare. He has seen the most inhuman acts possible, but has also witnessed the greatest humanity can provide.
  
  
  His experience leaves little to surprise him nowadays. Though more altruistic deeds seem to be more likely to get him intrigued.
  
  
  History
  
  
  "You must have really fucked up if you thawed my ass out."
  
  
  Hunter Ward. Most of history has long since been expunged by the orders of the federal government. A few details can be scrounged up: a child soldier from the USSR and his older sister, seeking refuge in America. Enlistment in the USAF, a highway to citizenship. His military background shows a glowing resume and countless accolades from under four separate generals.
  
  
  In 2018, Hunter Ward became a terrorist. His daughter Layla, a super like him, had been taken away and forcefully experimented on under the orders of the corrupt Commonwealth. To save her and destroy Commonwealth, he formed the infamous terrorist group called Rapture. The clashes between them and Commonwealth were catastrophic, but in the end he was able to recover his daughter, save several other test subjects, and effectively castrate Commonwealth by revealing thousands of top-secret documents regarding their illegal activities. This henceforth became known as the “Rapture Incident”.
  
  
  He turned himself in, at a price. He was thrown into prison without a public trial, but a conventional cell was impossible for someone with his powers. He was placed in cryogenic stasis, originally for multiple life sentences. However, only twenty years later, he was quietly – secretly – released. The feds had an offer for him. Do as they say, and they would pardon as much as they could. They knew better than to lie to him. He was the most competent man to have ever gone through the military, and they needed him again – this time, to teach new supers how to use their powers. It was better than being an ice cube…
  
  
  
• Layla Ward; Daughter
  
  
  The only member of his own family alive; And the primary reason for his past deeds.
  
  
  Being the only surviving member of his family, she's bound to receive top favoritism rights.
  
  
  Given the history of the Wards, no one could complain about this without getting a boot in their face.
  
  
  Brahn Family; Relatives
  
  
  Next to Layla and his old compatriots, these are the only people he considers to be family. Before he was frozen, he always kept tabs on them to make sure they were safe. Now..? Well....He doubts they want his presence around.

• Ability	Points	Total	Description
  Health:	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	5	The ability to resist illness and recover quickly from injuries, overall health.
  Strength	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	4	Physical strength, the ability to strike hard, lift heavy objects, and so on.
  Toughness	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	9	Endurance and stamina, the ability to take a hit and still keep going.
  Agility	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	2	Speed, dexterity, nimbleness - agility is the ability to move quickly.
  Intelligence	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	2	Not book smarts, but the ability to perceive and retain lots of information.
  Willpower	▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮​	4	Strength of mind, the ability to stay focused and determined.

  
  
  Primary Power
  
  
  Metal Manipulation
  
  
  Red is capable of using the available metal around him to his own will; Whether to weaponize it, manipulate it into a shield, or force its movement within, or outside of the earth.
  
  
  Commonwealth has categorized this power under a series of Class S powers capable of rendering an entire city in rubble within thirty minutes given the assumption it belonged to one without experience. With experience, it falls under five. Because of this, Red is held under heavy surveillance on an almost constant basis.
  
  
  His inclusion in AEGIS is to help keep this without errors.
  
  
  Secondary powers
  
  
  Magnetism
  
  
  The ability to draw, throw, and manipulate the movement of metals through the air without physically touching the material can be a terrifying power indeed. Red has used this ability to not only rip through the ground to access the metal below the city, but to bring down metallic constructs in the air.
  
  
  There was a REASON he was put on ice.
  
  
  Galvanize
  
  
  Red can manipulate the metals within his own body to create a defensive barrier that has been hard-pressed to be cracked. While doing this slows down his personal mobility to a crawl, the capability of withstanding the harshest of attacks can be invaluable.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  
  
  Location
  
  
  Red requires metals around him to use most of his abilities. Being placed in a location without metals to use leaves him to his own devices.
  
  
  Which is still a formidable amount of hassle to deal with.
  
  
  Mobility
  
  
  Red's powers generally require that he not be completely capable of heightened movement. Galvanize being the highest culprit here. Not one for dodging or high mobility, Red usually presents himself as an easy-to-hit target.
  
  
  Conductivity
  
  
  Something most kids learn in Elementary School is that most metals are highly conductive with electricity. And if you're a particular sort that is constantly USING metal, then you're in for a shock sooner or later. Electricity is possibly one of the few ways to most likely get past his defense.
  
  
  Unless you're being stupid and announce your attacks like some jackass in a primary-colored getup.
  
  
  Buoyancy-Challanged
  
  
  Oh sure, when just being normal he swims like a normal person. But if he were actively using Galvanize, he's gonna sink faster into the oceans than if someone on the internet has an independent thought.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo @Zahzi - I've been building a similar character all morning ( )

 

[Giyari]

@Zahzi Should we update the relationship section to include our characters? xD


Jason: "Ward, Hunter"


"Killed a lot of my friends over the years, but as a man who would also do anything for their family I understand why. Knew my sister, understands why she's annoying. He also likes good whisky. Red's alright."
