On the Record  Posts: 6340 Joined: 22 Aug 2008     | Going to call Pyrokinesis right here and now, PM with my character sheet will be done within the hour. I was vaguely interested in the last one but I missed the signup ;< |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1261 Joined: 29 Jan 2008     | I'll get my sheet to you soon. Probably going with Hydrokinesis, just to spite Amnestic, and because I like water. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 657 Joined: 8 Jul 2008     | Calling Mind Control, epic power. (Don't worry, I'll give myself enough weaknesses to prevent godmodding.) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 804 Joined: 10 Sep 2008     | Can I call Antimatter Generation/Manipulation? It's a bit hardcore I appreciate. If not, I'll find a new power... EDIT: No issues? Good... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1585 Joined: 5 May 2008     | I'm gonna go ahead and call time control. Limited obviously. Perhaps only the ability to slow time down in order to gain an advantage over enemies, but not pause it completely, and this effect would only be temporary. If that's too powerful/godmodd-ish(?), then perhaps telekinesis. EDIT: As I'm not an avid role player, would someone care to explain to me what trench coating and mary-suing are? I know what godmodding is and I want to make sure I don't do whatever those other two are. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 898 Joined: 27 May 2008    | Sigh... A day and a year to make a new character sheet. |

Respectively: Mary Sue and I believe this is a trenchcoater definition. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1585 Joined: 5 May 2008 |
Why thank you, I'll make sure my character is neither of those. EDIT: By the way, is this meant to be a 100% serious RP or are elements of comedy allowed? I have the strangest urge to make my character a screw-up. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008   | Took me a little longer than planned, but here's my sheet. Definitely an improvement on Deus...a big improvement... Jobz; The last RP was not at all 100% serious - I myself have made a character half cliche, half mutant, and have not taken myself far too seriously in the process. You aren't required to outfit yourself in tight spandex, but you don't need to be a tortured, dark avenger either... Yeah, I look back on Deus, and try to refrain from hitting myself. A large improvement on my character in the first, I'd say, and whilst I failed to take myself too seriously, I hope I don't come off as entirely stupid - if it is silly in places, it is intended to be quirky, or entertaining. At least, I hope so. Rex - I'll be PMing you with what I'd like for the 'random' aspect, hope everything above is acceptable. Hell, if you were okay with Deus, you're probably okay with this. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1657 Joined: 7 Mar 2008  | I feel Jazz was a strong enough characther that I can use him again. Would that be OK? |

On the Record  Posts: 5391 Joined: 14 Jun 2008   | Do I need to have partaken in the first Hero RP to participate? Because this sounds fun |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1058 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 |
Nope - others have already signed up that were not in the first. In fact, I think only The Logician and I are have returned from the last one. Don't take my word as law - I'm usually on at very different times to Rex, so I made a habit of bitching for him, and on occassions even being helpful during the GMT daylight hours. What I mean to say is - right now I'm correct...I think...but I'm not always... The first was very fun, and whilst it did not last long it certainly had potential. Hence why I've been poking Rex in an attempt to get this going again. |

Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 10303 Joined: 28 Nov 2007 | I call shotgun! Er...control of wind. Typing up character sheet. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 898 Joined: 27 May 2008 |
Aerokinesis or Zephyrkinesis, just to stay with the *kinesis theme. |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 10303 Joined: 28 Nov 2007 |
Thanks. The more you know...CAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! *thumbs up* |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 898 Joined: 27 May 2008 | And knowing is half the battle!* |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1585 Joined: 5 May 2008 | Alright, well I finally got this written down. Hope it's right. If there are any problems with it let me know so I can fix them. As I said I'm not an avid role player :P. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4269 Joined: 13 Aug 2008   | I am heartily considering joining, asuming that there is no rule against having a superpower where I can summon armies of crabs from the depths of the ocean to defeat my enemies. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 657 Joined: 8 Jul 2008 |
I'd go with crabs. Crusteacokinesis. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1269 Joined: 1 Jun 2008 | Alright, so far we have 12 people who've expressed interest Amnestic - Pyrokinesis That's right at the limit of what I want in this RP so I think I'm going to go ahead and close recruitment. Unless someone drops or other extenuating circumstances come into play this will probably be our cast list. So far I've recieved character sheets from : Overlord Steve Which means I still need them from : irishdelinquent When I get all the character sheets I'll post the more detailed character list so you all know who everyone is. I may also do some miscellaneous tweaking so all characters are relatively equal in power. I'll tell you straight up, I'm really tired right now. So, I've read the character sheets I've recieved but I haven't really assimilated them. I'm assuming right now that no one has made a trenchcoat or Mary-sue but I'll give it a more scrutinizing review later and be able to offer actual commentary. If anyone has I'll just ask you to fix it, it's not a killing offense at this stage. So far though everything looks good. To answer a few questions
Depends how big the "army" is. I look at having animal minions as a legitimate superpower and thus have nothing against you controling some crabs. If it gets to the point where your main attack is burying the city in a living typhoon of snapping gesticulating red doom though, I'll probably draw the line. You may wish to think of a more effective way of summoning them though. The sea isn't always nearby and as far as I know crabs move somewhat slowly. Alas, Overlord Steve is correct however. So, I will assume that your cooking skills are merely at the limits of human ability. Your omelets will still put 90% of the populace to shame but they will not count as a "Superpower".
Not at all! We'd be happy to have you.
Perfectly okay. I liked Jazz in the old one, lots of interesting uses for his power.
Humor is always appreciated. Plus we have Iron Ninja in this one so the chances of it being completely serious are pretty slim. Feel free to make your character as silly as you like so long as it can still function. I'll be vetting the character sheets after I recieve all of them anyway so, if it gets too ludacris, it can always be reigned in slightly. If you want a screw-up, my advice is to make a screw-up. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I think thats it. Just wanted to check in before I collapsed. If you all have any questions you can post them here or PM me. Oh, and what Timezone is everyone in, out of curiosity? I'm central which is GMT-5 I believe, though I'm up at pretty weird hours so that may not mean all that much. |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 10303 Joined: 28 Nov 2007 | GMT-8. I'm on if I'm not sleeping for the most part, though. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4229 Joined: 27 Apr 2008   | Wait, can I still get in on this? I was in the last one after all |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1585 Joined: 5 May 2008 | @ Rex: I noticed the sheet says Time Control beside my name, my power has been changed to Telekinesis. As for time zone, whatever time zone the east coast of the US is in. I believe it's GMT-5 but I could be wrong. |
On the Record Posts: 6340 Joined: 22 Aug 2008 |
Technically I'm GMT. However my sleeping pattern is somewhat...skewed at this point (going to bed at 5PM, waking up and getting out of bed at 11PM) and as such my timezone is pretty flexible. I blame the Escapist for screwing with my biological clock. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4229 Joined: 27 Apr 2008 | Character sheet is up in original post, and my timezone is GMT -7. |

Damn it all!!! I need a minute to think... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4269 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Apparently I'm GMT+12, so it's 4:05 pm right now. Here be my character sheet. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1261 Joined: 29 Jan 2008 | Sorry for the delay, lots of school work to do. without further delaying, here's my... I don't know how, but he seems to have gone slightly Aquaman-ish on me. Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be too useless. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4229 Joined: 27 Apr 2008 | I don't know Irish, sounds more like a waterbender then aquaman to me. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1969 Joined: 26 Jun 2008   | Sorry for bailing out last time. I learned that my internet was going to go out for 3 weeks(which was actually a month.) and i had to exit out. I don't know if i'll join this again but i probably will. I just need to think up a new character and then i'll join.(For those who don't know, my last character had pyrokenisis and since that was taken i need a new power and character.) If i can't think of one i'll PM you, okay Rex? Plus i think controling water was taken. Wasn't it? Oh, you took it. sorry. |
