Alien Rope Burn posted:I've been working quietly behind the scenes on wrapping up a character today, since I didn't get to it until late last night, is it okay for me to apply or should I just toss it?

On the subject of grimdarkness, I'm totally okay with levity - comics (and the games based on them) should be fun! Plus, my natural writing style runs to the grim, so injecting jokes from other sources would help balance that. And thank you for explaining the rules, ibntumart. They do have a tendency to look complex when they're just poured out in a big text dump, but in play they're a lot simpler.

LifeGetsWorser posted:Well, as far as advice goes, nothing in particular. Your Deadpool's actually a little under-powered (or at least missing a power or two) compared to the official one. Hmmmm, I might step up a power, but mostly I'm thinking of stealing a few of those SFX and the Unstable limit. The milestones are cool/funny, but I plan on breaking the 4th wall just as a matter of course, and I feel like 'Don't hate the player...' is more team oriented, allowing me to play off of everyone else's stuff which should draw me into team stuff a lot more.

I think I could really go either way with Amadeus Cho re: grimdark or star-struck wonder. It'd be a fun thing to play out since underneath it all he's just some clever kid who wandered onto the super scene, and without a cosmic level force of joviality and awesomeness like the Incredible Herc around to keep him balanced he could really go in some strange directions. From what I recall of the official data sheet he's already reasonably well designed. Could somebody with a copy of the book post it for me?

potatocubed posted:Possible alternative? Mysterio found the Reality Gem, had it taken away by [insert cosmic good guys here] but somehow retains some of its power. (In the form of another power set, containing Transmutation and maybe some other reality-bending powers.) That means he can start the game locked in the Kyln (a cosmic prison and also power station built where two dimensions join together) which puts him definitely 'in space' rather than on Earth. Well, there's no way I'm not using that idea. Here's what I have so far, still need to create milestones and come up with a third distinction relating to the fraction of the Reality Gem's powers he has. If anyone has some suggestions for either the distinction, milestones, or power sets, that would be helpful.  Even from the beginning, Quentin Beck, a.k.a. Mysterio, wanted only one thing: Fame. So when the opportunity came for him to pull off what he believed to be the largest heist in history, he snatched at it. And then Mysterio, widely regarded as one of Spider-Man's "lesser foes", stole the Reality Gem from Mister Fantastic. Rather than lording his newfound power over Earth, however, Beck thought bigger, and decided to spread his name throughout the cosmos. For about five days, anyway, before he ran up against a talking raccoon who took him down with a space-bazooka. However, even though the Infinity Gem was knocked from his grasp, a fraction of its power remained with Mysterio. Since no one could tell if this power would fade away eventually, he was tossed into the Kyln just to be safe. quote:Mysterio (Quentin Beck) Oh, and I was using this powerset for the Reality Gem for inspiration: http://thac0satmidnight.com/2013/05/04/the-infinity-gems-reality/ Astus fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Oct 3, 2013 |

potatocubed posted:Go for it - I figured there might be a person or two in your position, since it's the sort of thing I do as well. Can I be the 'or two' on this? I was going to post mine last night but I've been sick with a cough and fell asleep instead. e: well I have the thing here already so I'll just post it up, even if it is over the cut-off. pre:Gamora, the Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy There are many things in the universe that are scary. The Badoon rampaging across huge swathes of the galaxy and leaving you the last of your species is a fate none wish to bear. Doing something bad enough to cause the Nova Corps to send a few centurions after you is something few relish bringing down upon themselves. Crossing the Shi'ar and having the Imperial Guard hunt you down is almost a certain death sentence. And then there are things like Galactus, a cosmic power so huge that it's sheer indeterminabilty is frightening. But the odds of one of these things coming down and ruining your day is actually pretty minuscule, to be actively frightened of them is a little nonsensical. But there are people who go out of their way to ruin your day. And you along with it. They are few and rightly feared, people who can reach the most protected and well guarded and leave nothing but corpses in their wake. And among them one name stands out. And that name is Gamora. 'Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy' isn't something you just earn. Gamora's skill in combat is infamous. Enhanced and trained by the Mad Titan, she mastered every form of combat she was shown to become the best assassin in the universe. And soon stood with new friends and allies and turned those skills against him after discovering his betrayal. It goes without saying that she, like most people, despises the Mad Titan and all he stands for now. With Adam Warlock she joined the Infinity Watch, guarding the Time Gem from those who would seek to misuse it. And for a time found that she belonged to something … good. Something with friends and people she loved, something good for the universe; and putting her skills to more than just assassinations. But that was all in the past. Now? Gamora, though she would never admit it, is lost. She is without purpose in the big wide galaxy, longing to have reason behind her actions again. To belong to something worthwhile. The Annihilation Wave is seen by everybody as a danger unlike any other yet seen, but for her it's an opportunity. She can fight and she can win, and standing with those who will fight and driving back these invaders just might give her life some meaning again. And as for Thanos? Well, a little revenge always did feel good. Robodog fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Oct 1, 2013 |

Yep, that's the one. Thanks! If we're looking for an in-game reason for Amadeus to be out in space, maybe he got wind of the Illuminati exiling the Hulk and decided to hijack a planetary teleporter/FTL spaceship to go and save him?  Amadeus had always been too clever for his own good. First it was smart alecking his teachers, his guidance counselors, and bullies at any and all of the special academies he'd gone to. Then it was sass-mouthing his parents, who only really wanted what was best for him after all. But the biggest mistake he ever clevered himself into was that damned Excello Soap intelligence contest. He took it on a lark, just to see how far his smarts could go and what he got back for it was nothing good. A dead family, a blown up house, hunted by shady criminal organizations and probable MiB dudes alike, the only hero figure who ever did him any kind of good was the Incredible Hulk, who as it turned out was actually a misunderstood and hunted genius just like Amadeus. He'd always wanted to do the Hulk a good turn for saving him that time in Utah, and when his advanced webcrawlers and pattern recognition software picked up some idle chatter between a defunct Stark Industries Satellite and the Baxter building he barely gave it any though before hacking into the feed to see what was up as he ate his crappily reheated convenience store breakfast burrito. Reed Richards and Tony Stark had gotten together and decided to shoot the Hulk into space, exiling him from humanity forever, those bastards! Obviously this was a crime for which there must be a reasonable and just answer. He wiped away the smudge of congealed fried beans and licked his thumb as he eyed the AIM science lab in the distance. Amadeus Cho would go into space and rescue the Incredible Hulk. quote:Solo d8 Buddy d10 Team d6 If it's a little too broken to stack those two 1 XP milestones like that I could swap out SEVENTH AND CLIMBING for something Incredible Hulk-related?

History: Any complex, energetic enough system can conceivably develop life; however, even the cosmic being known as Galactus never expected he would be such a system. Of course, there was the essential dilemma in eating for two, and eventually he ejected the creature that would become known as Gali. More intrigued than anything else, he shared fragments of his knowledge with her, but what he didn't give her was a fierce conscience. Able to survive on comparatively tiny amounts of life - though still a massive amount compared to biological creatures - Gali was horrified by her "father's" appetite. (Not the correct term, but she generally anthromorphizes it to avoid confusing lesser sentients.) Eventually, she fled, going to the one place her father might hesitate to tread - Earth. Earth is a crossroads, overrun by all sorts of invasive species brought by literally hundreds of alien assaults or visitations. Generally speaking, she seeks to remove dangerous - and generally non-sentient - species from Earth's biosphere, as well as the occasional genetic abomination or biological weapon. Once again, generally non-sentient. At times she's instead worked to quietly defuse burgeoning disasters, in order to preserve her meal ticket. She dreads the idea of ending up like her father, gorging herself on entire worlds, and instead seeks means to feed her cosmic hunger in more positive ways. Personality: Gali is much more human than her "father", and is fond of most sentients - at least in the abstract. It's more a position born out of moral righteousness than true affection, in face to face meetings, she tends to find most biological creatures slow and dull-witted from her perspective. Nonetheless, she still finds their art and technology fascinating, when she can pull herself away from her predatory tendencies. Much of her existence is built up on finding creative (and ethical!) means to assuage her hunger. As such, she tends to obsess on her food - and how it relates to her father - to an unhealthy level. Or maybe it's healthy for a cosmic beings, anthropomorphization is hard to avoid in these sorts of texts. Abilities & Resources: Though even though she possesses only a tiny silver of the Power Cosmic compared to her father, Gali is a godlike being comparable to his Galactus' Heralds, though with far greater future potential. She can transform matter and energy, react at speeds far beyond those of most lifeforms, travel across the cosmos in a moment, is immensely strong and nearly unkillable, and so on. Though she has Cosmic Awareness, she tends not to rely on it, as tends to overwhelm her; her skill at "filtering" incoming information is dodgy at best. As a result, she often relies on local information networks and media just as much. Gali retains her knowledge of Galactus' technology, though her grasp of it is the Celestial equivalent of a baking soda volcano. It's still mind-boggling to your average bipedal sapient, but she largely uses it to aid in her feeding processes more than anything else. Generally speaking, she doesn't leave it lying around, relying on compact technology she can create using the Power Cosmic instead. In theory, she could turn to her father for aid, but she is immensely reluctant to do so, and he is inclined to let her survive on her own merits, seeing this as a phase of sorts. Perhaps she'll come around in a few millennia. Her sheet is pretty intimidating to lay down! But truth be told, it's largely based on the numbers for the Silver Surfer and the other heralds in Annihilation. I'm pretty new to Marvel Heroic, so if anything is entirely out of hand or could be handled better, I'd be glad to hear suggestions. Edit: added an extra limit at the last minute, Local Cover.

Robodog posted:And also in the comics Gamora has a healing factor, which isn't covered on the sheet here at all. Should I just leave it as is or is there room to tinker? I think most healing factors are classed as having big dice on Durability rather than removing Stress. So you 'heal' by not taking the stress in the first place and say you close the wound quickly, or lesser injuries fade away to make room for the new one etc.

As I recall, that's basically spending 1 plot point (or doom die if a bad guy) to instantly recover all stress and trauma.

I did see that Wolverine and Deadpool did have a healing factor on their datafile sheets, yeah. But I'm not super familiar with the system so I wasn't too sure on the specifics of it or anything like that. But yeah, removing physical -and- stepping back seems a little overpowered. The removing -or- stepping back seems more reasonable. But for Gamora hers did seem to be less of that kind of instant regeneration and more recover from almost anything over a little bit of time, which the stamina might actually cover.

The removing -or- stepping back seems more reasonable. But for Gamora hers did seem to be less of that kind of instant regeneration and more recover from almost anything over a little bit of time, which the stamina might actually cover. It's not overpowered, really. Remember, physical stress is only one way to defeat an opponent, there's also mental and emotional stress, as well as complications. Plus, the only way to take trauma is to be Stressed Out, which prevents you from taking actions for the rest of the fight unless someone tries to heal you. So, there's not too many times where being able to step back physical trauma would be as big of a deal as healing physical stress, and you can't use the SFX if you get stressed out either. Plus, Wolverine or Deadpool are just going to heal those injuries after the battle anyways, that's what they do. That said, I'm not familiar with Gamora, so I don't know if she can straight-up regenerate wounds or if she just heals faster. The former would justify the Healing Factor SFX, the latter is just Stamina. Edit: Also, the "recover physical stress" doesn't mean heal all of it, you just compare your Stamina die to your current physical stress. If it's equal or higher, the stress is gone. Lower, and it steps back by 1. So with Stamina d10, if you took d12 stress, then Healing Factor would only reduce it to d10. 2nd Edit: Actually, Gamora does have the Healing Factor SFX, just renamed to "She Just Won't Quit." Instead of just healing, you get angry as well. Astus fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Oct 2, 2013 |

 DECISIONS It wasn't easy to choose the characters I'd most like to see The Mighty Thor, as played by LifeGetsWorser Amadeus Cho, as played by Puppies are dicks Jol'Ynne, as played by Elfface Karolina Dean, as played by Brother Entropy Deadpool, as played by Error 404 Galacta, Daughter of Galactus, as played by Alien Rope Burn Mysterio, Master of Illusion, as played by Astus Ronan the Accuser, as played by ibntumart Everyone else joins the queue as alternates should one of the players be unable or unwilling to continue. My plan was to write up an opening post and get things going today, but suddenly my day's looking a bit full. I'll try anyway, and we should be ready to roll this evening or tomorrow. Notes: Mysterio needs another Distinction and another Milestone. Deadpool's 'two at once' SFX should probably be scaled up to 2d8 instead of 2d6 to match his increased Weapon die. ...and I'm sure there was something else I was going to mention but I've completely forgotten what. E: That was it: I'm totally ok with Amadeus Cho having a slightly cheesy combination of milestones, or a 'find the Hulk' one if you want to change them.

Also, on reflection, I think I'll swap out Step Three: Profit for the official milestone that uses my Unstable limit. It would mean I don't have anything officially cosmic, but still plenty to keep me going and useful with the team. Also, how often are we shooting for posts? I can guarantee several per day, but I know others will have less opportunity. I only ask because this game looks fun and I'd rather have things take longer than have people burn out or the game die.

Also. I'm a bad comics nerd. So I never got into it enough to read whole runs and the last comic I read with any regularity was the new Blue Beetle, and the Civil War tpb before that. So...anything else is likely to go over my head, or be gleaned from wikipedia. I read cable and deadpool back in the day, so I can pull off a good deadpool though.

Error 404 posted:Yep, at least until I'm obnoxious enough for you to try eating me. Given Deadpool's relationship with Death and Galactus' relationship with Death, it would be the equivalent of eating her aunt's yappy (vicious, tumor-ridden) pomeranian, i.e. not the finest of ideas. But then, healing factors do always have interesting permutations for cosmic devourers on a diet...

Ooooh, even if it's just an easter egg, I hope at some point we get to fight Lowtax (the south american Jaguarman that some goon wrote into an issue of something years ago that BSS shat itself over at the time)

But I've never heard of that. That's awesome, I must go look that up.

As for Lowtax, I very occasionally poke into BSS and lurk a couple threads, so I have no idea where or who to point you to, but I wanna say this was around 2008, maybe 07.

potatocubed posted:Believe me, I'm in the same boat. Wikipedia all the way, plus I've read the Annihilation comics. (And some of the follow-ups: the Thanos Imperative was a pretty cool mini-series.) I'm going to be playing fairly loosely with Marvel canon here to start with. Annihilation is like the one comic Event from that mid-late 00s era that I never got around to reading back when I regularly read comics so it'll be nice to not have to worry too hard about what actually happens in the plot. (I even read Annihilation: Conquest and War of Kings and those were terrible! But somehow I was too good for Annihilation proper)

I'm pretty sure Galacta even considered cloning Wolverine's cells and making a Healing Factored planet to snack on to satiate herself. So there's always that possibility...

WolvEgo the living planet! Super excited to read about this wack cast going into space to punch bugs. I can field any canon question you care about, Potatocubed.
