OOC Discussion

Oh my god he's going to flay me alive and make me serve him beer in a Bavarian costume.
 
Right, so 1 would be below average in stats then? Well, I gave Sam average intelligence then. Being homeschooled, she likely doesn't have as much academic knowledge compared to anyone who's grown up with proper schooling. I also gave her average defense since she's far more of an offensive-type of character when it comes to fighting.
 
Average defense is reasonable. Intelligence isn't book smarts though, it's like... How bright or clever a character is, how good they are at recognizing patterns. So she might not be book smart, but she might be very clever. :)

Ah, I was trying to figure that out. Hmm, I'd like to think she's a bit clever. Back to the drawing board (i.e. writing board) then!
 
I bumped up her intelligence to 4 and took some points out of her health and energy to compensate accordingly. I'd like to think Sam is relatively clever in both her smart ass-ness and her ability to fight people or, at least, confuse them with where she is or something.
 
Sam strikes me as fighting like an airbender, lol


And Frixz, please. My dignity and innocence is at stake!

She's no where near as peaceful as one and she's more than willing to take down her enemy rather than maim them lol.

It may be worth noting also that 3 is the limit for 'normal' humans. So 4 is too high unless you mean for her to be superhumanly clever.

Gah, I'll get this right one day.
 
Right, so I'll just give her 2 for intelligence then. That's enough for her to be a smartass and still be able to think out of the box without being crazy smart, yeah?
 
Here are some 'Marvel' Guidelines you might find useful:


Health:


1 Aunt May, 2 Doc Ock, 3 Hawkeye, 4 Cap, 5 or 6 Spidey. After 6 you are talking more about Holy CRAP! territory. 7 or 8 is wolverine, 9 is Hulk and maybe Thor


Strength:


1 Aunt May, 2 Hawkeye, 3 or 4 Cap, 5 or 6 Spidey again.  7 Thor, 8 Thing, 9 Hulk


Defense:


1 Uncle Ben ;)  2 Doc Ock, 3 Spidey, 4 Cap, 5 or 6 Wolverine 7 or 8 Iron Man, 9 Thing


Agility:


1 Prof X, 2 Aunt May, 3 Doc Strange, 4 Cap, 5 Daredevil, 6 or 7 Spidey, 8 or 9 Quicksilver


Intelligence:


1 Hulk, 2 Aunt May, 3 Cap, 4 or 5 Peter Parker, 6 Doc Ock, 7 or 8 Tony Stark, 9 Reed Richards


Willpower


1 Molecule Man (pre secret wars) 2 Spidey, 3 Aunt May, 4 Punisher, 5 Thor, 6 Loki, 7 Professor X, 8 Jean Grey, 9 Doc Strange


Energy


1 Aunt May, 2 Daredevil, 3 Cap/Spidey, 4 or 5 Reed Richards, 6 Sue Storm, 7 Johnny Storm, 8 Cyclops, 9 Jean Grey


1 to 3 is normal human range, 4 to 6 is standard issue super human, 7 to 9 is godlike territory. 


There is no zero, so one covers you from slime mold up to just marginally below average.


Likewise, nine is where they stop measuring. So 8 is chartable, but nine is OFF the charts.


Hope that helps in general terms. I will get to the nitty gritty now.

I find your lack of Deadpool QUITE disturbing.
 
I would give her 8 for agility since she's got similar powers to Quicksilver, except I use her physiology as a weakness so her sometimes compromising balance means she's not going to have Quicksilver's level of agility. At least, not yet. ^^
 
Altruistic is not the word you want for the third trait, I think. That description belongs in the fourth trait, reinforcing the idea of impatience. Altruistic means a selfless concern for the well being of others, which kind of goes with the first trait of kindness. Maybe replace the third one entirely? 


Shy? Mistrustful? Introverted? Loner? Rebellious? Irreverent? Religious? 


Now, somehow, it is time for late bus duty. I have some thoughts on the power set, but I will let that percolate while I chase students from the dark corners of the halls.   History seems ok. That is where I grabbed the list of words for possible trait three from. 


Back in a few whiles.

Okey dokey, I'll edit accordingly once I'm back on my laptop.
 
Edited her personality traits and replaced 'altruism' with 'rebellious'.
 
Yea. It's a school wide social media real time chat app that she recovered from a previous year. She sent out invites to everyone I 
 
MaybeAaron will finally get a clue about the existence of the sub basement! :D  


In other news, I just realized I have been offering critiques in ooc thread.


Mea Culpa. I will try to do better.
 
Writing instructions for the Halloween thread turned into me attempting to program a dice roller that writes to a file.
