Link to IC thread Diamond City. A coastal American city known as the center of the world. Business, entertainment, politics: all of it is centered in this one city. The Shinning City, it's called. The one place everyone goes, everyone knows about, and everyone depends on. Up until a couple of weeks ago, it was still a relatively normal place. People got up, went to work, hated their jobs, commuted home, ate dinner, and went to sleep. A perfectly normal American city.  Then, a young girl flew out of nowhere and stopped a bank robbery. Calling herself "America's Sweetheart", she became the first in an explosion of costume heroes and criminals roaming the streets of the city. Some are just loons in costumes. Some have a menagerie of powers that allegedly are everything from magical to alien to mutant to special tech to excreta. There was an incident recently on the docks where two beings claiming to be Typoon of Greek Myth and Thor of Norse Myth fought to stop a hurricane from hitting the city. Some of these heroes and villains have come and gone. Some can't seem to take the life. Some just mysteriously vanish. The only one still chugging along as a public icon is America's Sweetheart. That is where you come in. You're a group of heroes who want to actually make a mark on this place. To do that, you're banding together in a team. To share the burdens and pool resources. You guys are going to change the world. This is a Four Color FAE game set in Diamond City, a expy of New York City. This is a Play-By-Post game to be hosted on the SOMETHING AWFUL forums and using Orokos for dice. I am seeking four to six players for the game. In your app, please provide:
We can chat in this discord. Recruitment will stay open until October 7th at 11:59:59 PM EST. Covok fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Oct 9, 2018 |

I'm interested. Please wait for this post to be edited with my sign-up. Isaac "Ike" Matthews, Wielder of the Spirit Sword, aka Wizard-Knight   Ike, age 23, was a young reporter and writer for the Daily Diamond Bugle when a twist of fate-an expose about a junkyard-placed an artefact in his lap. Curious about the sword, he drew it from it's sheathe-and saw Spirits for the first time. Indicted into a new world (and tasked with dealing with troubles concerning spirits, spellcasters, and a few common ne'er-do-wells), Ike sighed, rolled his eyes, and hoped this would be over with. High Concept: (Reluctant) Magic Knight Trouble: Why Am I Even Here? Aspects: Budding Young Journalist, A Delinquent In My Youth, Lateral Thinker Approaches: Clever (+3) Flashy, Sneaky (+2) Quick, Forceful (+1) Cautious (+0) Power Facts: Spirit Magic (I can command spirits to do my bidding to cast spells) Memory of the Blade (I know how to use the Spirit Sword in combat through it's previous wielders) Moderately Enhanced Physical Skills (I'm a bit faster, stronger, and tougher than your average Joe) Spirit Tongue and Eyes (I can see and speak with spirits) Stunts: Been In This Situation Before: When I'm in a tough spot, I get +2 to Flashily Overcome if a previous wielder was in the same situation and I do what they did. Spirit Unification: Once per session, Isaac can "fuse" with a nearby spirit to grant himself powers related to that spirit's domain. Delinquent-Journalist's Intuition: Because I have experience with both lying and dealing with liars, I gain +2 to Sneakily Create Advantages by either seeing through a lie or lying myself.

  Ranger Latoria Morgan II, aka Hyperspace Strider interview transcripts from the Daily Diamond Bugle posted:7:38:04: "See, back in middle school everyone used to go 'poo poo! It's that crazy chick with the Sharingan!', and it'd put a real damper on things you know? First of all, remembering the folks you're bringing justice to are just kids watching the same shows as you wasn't, great, for the heroic self-esteem. And second, I liked Sasuke as much as anyone, and believe me there are worse reactions to having your eyes bleed out, but part of me always wished that only one of these bad boys worked like this because in the manga..." High Concept: Psychic Nerd Fencer Trouble: "I am a genius!" "Oh no!" Other Aspects: It's Like One of My Anime; Technically Still a Federal Agent; Fields Medal Runner-Up Approaches: Careful: Mediocre (+0) Clever: Average (+2) Flashy: Average (+2) Forceful: Fair (+1) Quick: Good (+3) Sneaky: Fair (+1) Power Facts: Extreme Reaction Times (I can parry a bullet without breaking a sweat) Premonitions (I have a sense for when something is dangerous or important to what I'm looking for.) Applied Mathematics (I can dodge into a separate dimension for short periods of time.) MacGyver-esque (I can improvise useful gadgets with anything nearby) Stunts: Witness The Power Of My True Art: Due to Latoria's mastery of High-Dimensional Destreza, once per session she can warp herself to exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Not Idly Do the Chains of 3rd Street Fall: Latoria's experience as a national park ranger lends her a +2 to Cleverly overcome challenges related to investigation.
