Everyone's fighting some battle of their own.
Well, Sam can't drink coffee, but Piper would love to meet students at her favorite Starbucks! :3
The New OOC and Hangout
- Thread starter welian
- Start date

I'll keep trying, even if I'm not good enough...
Yep! That's how it works~
Before I replied with that little thing, I had actually written down both of the outcomes (but I thought it was too much! MY COMPUTER REBOOTED TOO, I lost it) and in it (coming from the idea that Mitch might have made the request in the chatroom openly) Kendrick messaged back a couple of instructions, some of them being: "Don't forget to bring a toy you like. If you have none, I suggest you delay this little project by a couple weeks. Get a toy and spend some time with it everyday. Weird request? Probably. Just trust me on this." and later on (after the whole part about date and time and schedules) "Would you require a daily reminder?", just in case.
yoikes
The (Not So) Evil Mastermind
But doesn't that also means that by spending a lot of time around Kendrick, she also spends time around his toys?
If Mitch need to prepare her own toys... She might go for Gundam or fighter jet models lol
Necessity4Fun
I'll keep trying, even if I'm not good enough...
Yeah! If she would prefer it goes that way... But it's not only standing by and watch, Kendrick knows that so, this is a list of things that I can picture happening:
A) Mitch and Kendrick befriend each other a bit first;
B) Kendrick lets Mitch hold Ted, and not longer after it starts ridding on Mitch's shoulder while they walk (It is Kendrick doing that unconsiously);
C) He picks up 5 toys to bring for the next weeks, and teaches Mitch about how to take care of them (You can expect 'lessons' in re-painting, properly dusting and maybe replacing a mechanism... Not sewing tho, He doesn't do that, Petra does);
D) Sharing all kinds of stories about the toys;
E) Showing off some tricks, maybe?
It can be either annoying, or an enjoyable time together :3 (It's similar to what we do about our pets, is it not? >w<)
Ohhhh, Manipulating a Jet model through the air sounds cool as heck!

Hey E'rbody! I managed to make a Christmas prompt creepy! (Other than the Krampus one!)
Kinda proud of that.

Unofficial Episode 2 timeline to follow. Please comment if there is anything important I left out, or if there are extraneous details you think could go.
This is a project for welian's "Welcome to AEGIS" package to help orient new players, so I tried to introduce some names as well as major events.
I will start on 2.5 later this week, after I have some feedback.
Hope to have 3 done by the time 4 goes live...
@Necessity4Fun how is ep 1 coming? Can I see it when you have a draft for comparison and anchoring level of detail?

Episode II
Attack of the Knights (also birds)
Saturday January 14th 2040 began quietly, but by the end of the day, you'll understand why you need a whole timeline for just one day.
4:00 am
A surprise snowstorm quietly rolls into baltimore, coating everything with snow and ice. Much of it will be gone by late morning, but it makes getting to class difficult for many students. Several teachers are busily getting ready for Saturday classes. Students are still asleep
9:30 am
Numerous students come to the realization that they will be late for 10 am classes due to weather delays. Reactions are various, but largely amusing, several involve involuntary slapstick.
10:00 am
Classes begin. Things seem normal enough. Asher, AKA “Ravemaster” runs his Mental Discipline class with a throbbing base, while Aaron AKA “Solo” takes a quieter approach. Student drama abounds, but is pretty much indistinguishable from a 'normal' classroom. Across town, several events are unfolding simultaneously, their banality belying the chaos that will inevitably follow.
A nondescript black van parks in front of the commonwealth headquarters. Scarlett Chernov, head of commonwealth (AKA “Basilisk? Gorgon? One of those, I forget, and can't find it referenced) fails to notice it and will come to regret it. She is too focused on messing with Agent Harry's planned tour of commonwealth for a 'lucky' few of 108's students
Director Swan (AKA “Audio”) and his longtime frienemy Hunter Ward (AKA “Red”) are meeting for breakfast at IHOP in the Owen Mills Mall with one of the junior teachers, Eve Knox (AKA “Jericho”). The school's disciplinary counselor Klaus Vos Scheiffer also happens to be visiting the same mall with his adopted daughter Minah. A few students are also visiting the mall, having no classes to attend, and at least one of them will be numbered among the dead by the day's end.
Katherine Huang (AKA “White Tiger”) the school's new hire for community service classes heads for the Baltimore zoo in the back of her father's limousine to meet her new students. Allen McNabb (AKA “Lazarus”) makes a personal visit to a student to bring him to the zoo. That he seems utterly oblivious to how creepy that is hints at his true nature. That student will not survive the day to make complaints.
10:09 am
Classes at 108 are well underway, when a disturbance alerts the students and staff to the presence of an intruder. After a bit of keystone cops shenanigans, the intruder (Avecca Zayn) is quickly subdued. As events unfold, it becomes clear she is biding her time, and should have been restrained immediately. Aaron leaves Asher to watch her and goes in search of a missing student.
10:11 am
Portia Clemmond, (AKA “Feedback”) is abducted at the mall by anti super terrorist elements who will later identify themselves as the 'Knights of Raguel.' She manages to scream before being subdued, alerting Audio and the others that ominous events are afoot.
10:12 am
Two students, Joel and Chris sneak off from Harry's boring tour to find some coffee. Joel will never be heard from again. Chris will ride to glory on a filing cabinet. Yes, seriously.
10:14 am
A student using her fire based powers at facility 108 in an attempt to stop Avecca from escaping sets off the fire suppression system. Surprisingly this is a relatively primitive sprinkler system rather than something more robust. Fortunately it will wash away the 50 gallons of coffee efluvia that Aaron vomited in the hallway in a fit of vertigo. All the lost students are found and now it is time to evacuate to the clinic building. Avecca is badly concussed by one of the students, but makes one last bid for freedom. Aaron captures her and brings her to the clinic while the rest evacuate under their own steam.
10:15 am
Students on community service duty assemble outside the zoo. Within less than three minutes Terrence Fowler (AKA "Ostrich Whisperer") has unleashed utter chaos. Katherine Huang orders students to restore order, but goes to the back exit to assist with evacuating civilians, leaving the students largely on their own. Two students Eden and Leon ride off, improbably, on ostriches. Allen McNabb falls down a lot, but is somewhat helpful in policing appropriate student language in a school setting. Danny Travis is particularly egregious. One student, Tabitha Crane grows 150 feet tall. Her clothes do not. Her new friend Victoria is mortified for her, but mainly focused on not letting anyone get stepped on. Danny snaps pictures. Two other students, Jordan and Lucas go after Terrence to try to stop his reign of bird poo. Kyle Keysor falls asleep, but dreams up an angelic force to protect the public as well as some clothes for Tabitha.
10:23 am
Terrorists use Portia Clemmond's abilities to seize control of the mall's PA system to deliver their message to an unsuspecting public. Attempting to blend in with the crowd gathering in the mall's central pavilion, Red, Jericho, Audio and Klaus gather around the terrorists to stage what they hope will be a swift end to the plot. Unfortunately, the terrorists are well equipped and prepared to deal with supers. Their body armor is doped with contact detonation anti personnel explosives which severely injures Jericho. Red attempts to save three supers the 'knights' have hostage, but the terrorists immediately murder Portia Clemmonds, who's 'feedback' powers remote detonate numerous car bombs all around the mall. In the ensuing chaos two of the three terrorists escape except the one who was disabled by Klaus's poison gas attack. Audio broadcasts a call for help to emergency services and any blue card heroes in the area, while Red prepares a private room to interrogate the lone remaining 'knight' who, as far as any witnesses are concerned, had already apparently died...
10:24
Lucas and Jordan team up to take down Terrence Fowler. Jordan manages to disable and subdue him while Lucas is chased back by a final onslaught of angry birds. Tabitha falls down in the parking lot, downing powerlines and crushing numerous cars before shrinking back to normal size. Audio's call for help is heard at the zoo, but nobody is really in a position to help. Lucas tries to rescue some birds from the downed powerlines, but is kicked by an angry ostrich and apparently killed. The commotion wakes Kyle, and all his dream constructs disolve into some kind of oily goo with Tabitha in the biggest lake of it. Victoria tries to come to Tabitha's aid, but slips in the goo and nearly drowns. Danny helps her and is caught in the act of helping by a returning Katherine Huang who is appalled by everything that has happened, but praises Danny to Victoria's chagrin. McNabb rescues Tabitha from the goo, and offers his lab coat to help her stay warm. As his last conscious act, Terrence orders the birds to help people, and they work to undo the damage. Katherine Huang quietly quits AEGIS and rides away with her Chauffeur
10:25 AM
Director Chernov gets multiple phone calls which the students eavesdrop on through one of Mary's Portals. The director goes outside and is met by a barrage of flashbang and smoke grenades as well as being tagged by a sniper bullet. That she is not killed suggests a kidnapping attempt rather than a simple murder plot. Either way, a second teleporter, Jamie Bishop foils this by transporting the director out of harms way. An unnamed commonwealth agent is murdered on the roof across the street by a turncoat agent named Marley, partly to cover for the sniper, partly for suspicion of stealing of lunches from the common fridge. Meanwhile, Mary, Kendrick, and Kennith try to establish a safe zone for the director and get some reconnaissance on the attackers while Jamie brings the fight to them. The attackers seem to be affiliated with the knights, but are considerably less well equipped. The students however, are quite inexperienced in combat, and are quickly pinned down by the sniper. Kennith is shot in the arm, and two of the men from the van confront them and offer terms of surrender: hand over the director. Just then, a filing cabinet lands on the taller man, ridden by Chris from the second story of the HQ. The other man turns out to be the first man's son and attempts to murder Chris, but is beaten unconscious. Chris is badly injured. Kendrick and Jamie almost manage to catch the sniper, but she escapes in style with a daring leap from the roof.
TL
R:
Saturday classes at 108 are interrupted by an intruder, she is injured attempting to escape and hurts the elderly school nurse when she tries to help her. There is much drama, which is ironic given how badly the day has gone for those NOT at the facility.
The mall is attacked by terrorists in high tech armor. Several teachers respond, along with a few students, to disastrous results. Many civilians are killed. One of the 'knights' is captured. Viral video released by the knights spins the disaster as being the fault of the heroes.
Commonwealth HQ is attacked by a splinter cell of the knights. They are less well equipped than those at the mall, apparently being intended as a distraction, but are nearly successful in their attempt to assassinate Director Chernov. They are foiled by a ragtag group of students with no help from teachers, and no deaths other than one of the knights, and a commonwealth agent surprised by a traitor. Two 'knights' are captured, but the sniper who shot the director escapes. The turncoat, Marley, also escapes.
In an apparently unrelated incident, the zoo erupts in chaos as a mentally ill man with bird control powers unleashes a birdnado. The students, urged by the new community service teacher, attempt to help, doing hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage, but managing to avoid any civilian deaths. One student is laid open by an ostrich kick, and apparently eaten by birds. No body is found. The community service teacher quietly quits and disappears.

Finally found the Traitor commonwealth agent in 2.5 flashback...
Edited it into ep 2 summary; will have 2.5 summary soon, but covering only the time actually after the events of ep 2.

Oh man, Episode 2 sounds like it was exciting. I'm new to this roleplay, so that summary is going to help a lot. So, I've got a few ideas for characters that I just wanted to throw against the wall in here and see where they bounced. Let me know what sounds interesting or what's already taken. (I've been through a good bit of already existing characters, but there are a lot.)
Titan, able to manipulate a strange irreproducible liquid metal compound, very chemically similar to Titanium, that he is able to manipulate, solidify, and carry around with him in finite amounts less it become chemically inert and cease to be manipulated. It also seems to share the effects Mercury has on normal human bodies. Titan has been found to be exempt from this poisoning.
Rescue, possesses the ability to hear the thoughts of the distressed and panicked in a mile radius. Thoughts usually pertain to details of the situation that is causing them distress, what could help them, or in the worst cases...their last regrets.
Round One, granted the ability to enforce a 1v1 combat rule on anyone within eyesight, and a mile after being affected. Combatants afflicted find themselves unable to fight anyone other than that person. This does not force the combatant to begin attacking their "opponent", but bans them from targeting anyone else besides that person while under this effect. Round One can end this effect and begin it at a whim, but can only effect one set of two combatants at a time.
---
These are just some ideas I've been playing around with. I was a bit antsy with Round One, due to the whole thing with barging in on the player agency of other characters, but I thought I'd throw him up there with the others regardless and see how he fairs. Let me know what you think about these guys, and also, these aren't all of the character ideas or power concepts I have in mind, just the ones that have been thought of the most.

@DamagedGlasses OH YOU'RE OUR NEWEST IT SEEMS!
WELCOME TO THE RP!
Titan- I like the idea, It seems pretty neato without being too overly complicated or restrictive in any way. However, I must ask, and I'm assuming the answer is a yes, can he also produce this liquid metal compound?
Considering he can also carry around finite amounts, I'm assuming there is a limit to the amount he can produce if he does?
Rescue- Oh that's a new power that I haven't seen before!
I really like the idea simply because of It not really being done before. Looks like a very specialized variation of Telepathy. Would personally love to see a character with this power being implemented into the Rp!
Lord knows we need someone like that XD
Round One- Hm, I'm a bit skeptical about that one because It literally forces a player to solely and only be able to "fight" one person. Could end up resulting in an very awkward stalemate as well if both combatants refuse to actually attack each other and nothing else really helps. Would personally suggest staying away from using such an ability, but I'm sure someone here can probably think of a way to modify that power and make It much more viable.

Yeah, Round One idea was a hesitant one. To me, the main use would be, "Running away from some super baddies? Make them only able to focus on each other, and make a getaway." Or, in a villainous standpoint, pick a random civvy for the hero following you and see how he deals with that.

Welcome welcome! Glad to see you aboard! Feel free to ask us anything!
Titan! My first thought is that he literally can sweat bullets lol. Could be a fun power, but specifics will likely be looked for when it comes to the character critiquing process. Such as how irreproducible is it? what about a super power that can reproduce any material? And how much control does he have over the stuff?
Rescue. A fun variant of mind reading. Something to keep in mind with it would be how the power determines danger from other emotions. For example, a bystander of a terrorist attack vs someone who is about to get hot coffee spilled on them. Does Rescue determine what is best needed or does the power tell him? Something to keep in mind is you might need to ask for more details from player characters of the specific information isn't in their post. Not a bad thing, just something you might have to work for.
Round one. This is one I would advise away from. As it could be interpreted as reality bending, which isn't something that is normally allowed. One easy way around this would be that he can create force fields but only around two people, regardless of the shape the force field needs to be in. Meaning only those two can interact with each other.

My thoughts on these concepts:
Titan: It's a very exotic power, the ability to manipulate a 'finite amount' of a compound that shares the properties of Titanium and Mercury. I'm assuming that the power is passive, since otherwise once Titan falls asleep, his material would become inert due to a lack of manipulation. Second, the codename seems to be a bit misleading. When I read Titan, I thought 'strong, powerful, demigod-like', not 'can shape lumps of metal. Third, as @St Stare already stated, where is this material coming from? If it cannot be created by normal means, how does it come into existence? And which properties of Titanium and Mercury does this 'Unobtanium' take on?
Rescue: Sounds cool in concept, but I can see problems with filtering. People in the modern world experience anxiety, stress and panic on a daily basis, at what level of panic or distress do people 'ping' on Rescue's radar? And God help her if she's ever within a mile of a home game of the Cowboys....
Round One: This is mind control. Pure and simple. Round One is 'perfectly' manipulating the minds of two individuals so that they can only target one another. As has previously been mentioned, if the 'combatants' do not fight, it becomes a moot point.

@DamagedGlassesHey hey! New person! Welcome! For character ideas, mostly all been said, but I will jump on bandwagon. I agree third one is a no go.
LOVE the second one for team play purposes, but agree with CapH about concerns for mental health of character.
Titan is neat-o. Name change though…. hmm. Maybe Hephaestus? (Not a titan I know, but know for manipulation of metal.)
Forge, maybe? Or Gallium? (liquifies at body temperature, solid at room temperature)
Or what about Oxide? No reason, just sounds cool to me. Maybe that is why the metal spoils if not worked: it oxidizes
Mint. Shine. Shiny. Silver splasher. Sliver. I like that last one. Sliver. (used as villain name in Gurps campaign once!)
Anyway, welcome.
Looking forward to seeing CS. Did you put in Ap at help desk yet?

Titan is neat-o. Name change though…. hmm. Maybe Hephaestus? (Not a titan I know, but know for manipulation of metal.)
Forge, maybe? Or Gallium? (liquifies at body temperature, solid at room temperature)
Or what about Oxide? No reason, just sounds cool to me. Maybe that is why the metal spoils if not worked: it oxidizes
Mint. Shine. Shiny. Silver splasher. Sliver. I like that last one. Sliver. (used as villain name in Gurps campaign once!)
Anyway, welcome.

Alright! Firstly, thank you for all the warm welcomes! You're all lovely people!
Secondly! Loving the feedback, and I can understand where a lot of you are coming from. Now, I couldn't include all the details of each power in my first post without turning it into a wall of text, instead of a tasty hook, but I'll elaborate a bit more and answer some questions.
Titan - Firstly, Titan secretes the chemical compound from his pores, like he does sweat. It comes from a different gland of course, but I can elaborate on that further depending on whether or not I use the power in the end. Regardless, said metal compound, let's call it "T-Metal" for now, is irreproducible in that it cannot be found naturally, and is found very rarely in labs. This is due to the fact that T-Metal is made up of many conflicting elements, making a very unique compound that is contradictory.
Most don't possess the secret ingredient that Titan possesses to make it all work. His hardwired subconcious. Titan's mind has been altered in a way, by the same change that brought upon T-Metal, to treat a certain area of his subconcious as a mental muscle able to push and pull on the elements making up T-Metal to keep it active. That's why Titan loses all collected T-Metal after he falls asleep or unconcious, waking up the next morning to start collecting more of it. That part of his subconcious isn't active while he is asleep, and can only handle so much T-Metal liquid, which is what creates the limit on how much active T-Metal can exist at the same time. Inactive T-Metal quickly degrades, coagulating into peices of rust that are identical to rusting iron.
Honestly, anyone with the right set of powers could keep T-Metal stable and active, but Titan's mind is hardwired for it. Others may have to study the make up of the compound for a while to make sense of it and do what he does as consistently as he does. I also saw some comments about Titan's name, and even better, some suggestions. I honestly created the power, before the name, so yeah, not much thought put into it. @Gus Sliver reminds me of Magic the Gathering, but you know, it has a nice ring to it. I'll have to give it some thought, but thank you!
Rescue - I'm glad you guys liked this take on telepathy, and you brought up a lot of good points on the downsides of this power. We do live in a very stressful world today. I could very well come up with a degree of "filtering" somehow on the power, but I'm both in love with that idea and the potential effects having some of the downsides could make for an interesting character. Another thing I will have to look into as I go into actually making a character.
Also, Rescue's power does not give them the best path to follow on how to solve the issue. It does, however, allow Rescue to gain insight in how to get something fixed or work if the person in question subconciously knows how. Such as, "Where did I put my keys?" or "What was this guy's weakness?". Rescue doesn't gain the information straight out of their head, but does find him gravitating towards the solution, such as where the keys are (under that fake plant) or attacking the enemy with his weakness (for example, salt).
Round One - Haha, yeah. Lot of good arguments against this one. Threw this up with the other two to see what feedback might come of it, and in the end, I liked it. That being said, this will definitely not be one that I will be using. I care to much about the rights of other players to even try and give it a go with some heavy modification. Awesome name, though.
Thank you for the feedback, @St Stare @KingHink @Captain Hesperus and @Gus. I appreciate it!
Also, Gus, I did put up a Application in the Help Desk late last night! Welian got to it earlier today, and I'm pumped up about getting a CS in the works. I'll either be using the ideas I got here today, or throw out 1-2 more ideas before I'm settled and see how they float. Regardless, its gonna get done!

I'm heading off to bed now because I have another exam in the morning, but I'm glad to have you on board, Glasses. Things are hectic in this RP, so never feel shy about asking what's going on.

GUYS! I'm so sorry I've been MIA. Finals have been kicking my ass x.x But they're over in less than a week and I can get back to writin' and stuff :3

Justice RIDES AGAIN!!!
Don't worry! We saved Morgan from the poison gas attack!
(Of course, we may have disintegrated her with optic blast, depending on where in the room she was standing…)
Focus on school. Episode four starts Sunday!

So, I'm getting ready to start making my CS, but I can't find a blank version of what everyone else is using. Now this either means I've missed it, since it seems a lot of people have a similar format, or I just need to "copy pasta" someone else's and fill it in with my own information. If there is a third option, let me know, because any answer is a good enough answer! o wo)-b

I JUST adapted to the old one!

I'll keep trying, even if I'm not good enough...
Welian said to not rush it >w<
There ARE people already migrating to it (or doing new characters using it) and such but for now, it's not obligatory or anything~
Heck it's not even on the RP Manual yet! XDD

No, like the first one since the site change got rid of BBcode :ClosedEyesCrying:

I'm saying to not rush changing to the 'new' one, the one in this thread XD
