Yup! 180!

Just to check, are we going to be thrown together by circumstance early on, or are we expected to make up our own investigative (or whatever) agency ahead of time and start out knowing each other? I like getting to know people IC, so I might play my PC joining in late or something if we do the second one.

I could see a hybrid working out, maybe, like if one of our PIs held a recruitment drive to start a new team :)

That's up to you, guys! I can go both ways. I'd just bring you guys in within the same prologue threads (even if you hadn't known each other first) since we have a nice amount of players.

may I start my own hero agency?

Is FMA style Alchemy allowed?

Whew, that blew up fast, I was contemplating a Gadgeteer with aspects of battlesuit...but a Gorilla Man Gadgeter might be amusing.

Do you have prebuilt templates for the species or are they in a book somewhere? I only have the core book.....

Wanna be a gorilla in a band with me? I love the imagery of that!

Could be...a drummer gorilla who fixes the bionic arm when it's annoying :D Or upgrades it ;)

In reply to Tarrakhash (msg # 45):

You may start your agency if you have the funds. ;)

Alchemy's allowed as long as it's based in science. We're fully sci-fi commited. :)

How many funds do I have?

It depends what level of Benefit: Wealth you take.

How much do heroes make yearly times 3

I was thinking that or an upright bass player or a baritone crooner in a suit and fedora.

I'm thinking we also could use a skinny elf or maybe atlantean piano player to round out our image

I was thinking of going with an amnesiac shapeshifter (defaults to the appearance of a Human).

So, if I'm reading The Cast descriptions and OOC chat correctly, what we are looking at so far is:



Yes?

Lol, so I'm going to go baritone crooner in suit with a fedora because a monkey in a suit is just amusing. Likely going to go with a 'dire ape' so a big gorilla with four arms! Maybe I should play the double sax?

Yep, that's right for me Stormshadow :)


I'm not sure what you're asking, like, in the Atlantis Noire setting? It would probably depend on what a character's doing and who's paying them for it.

My concept is that an Argent scientist decided to construct the perfect being from the genetics up; strong physically, perfect physiology, telepathic demigog, and asthetically pristine.  I play the original draft, where he forgot to carry the cytosine and wound up with what he views as an unsightly, abstract failure.

Basic powers are telekinesis or telekinesis-based.

Ah, alright. Updated then.

This is coming together nicely!

@Tarrakhash: 4 arms opens up lots of instrument possibilities. Maybe you play whatever is called for depending on the song. If you want to stick with battle suit, and you like monkey in a SUIT... :-)

@Silent Wayfarer: Want to join the band? If I made the piano player as a sidekick/minion, I was probably going to give him shapeshifting. I'm not sure why, but it just seems to fit nicely with the other stuff Tarrak and I have going on. Would be way better to get a real person behind that character though. So what do you say, wanna drop a few points into a musical skill and be our piano man?

I'm likely losing the battlesuit and going with a kingpin type of suit with armored fabric.

Also, if we do the whole band thing shall we get a shared HQ? Maybe can get a shared Minion too? I was going to go with an AI minion maybe so it could do stage lighting, computer hacking and sound checks....

In reply to Tarrakhash (msg # 58):

Two tommy guns with trick bullets in a couple of violin cases? Four armed gorilla in a suit firing off two tommy guns at the same time is a pretty awesome image!



I'd be up for some shared HQ/minion stuff like that.

We might want to nail down our motivations and backstories a bit before we really load up. We might end up with a static HQ like our own Lounge, or maybe we'll end up more mobile.

So... we're making a living as a band. Is that it, or is it a cover for us to do something like infiltrate the Criminal Underground? Or are we morally gray and on the fringe of the Criminal Underground, really wanting to leave, but keep getting pulled back in? That latter has a nice tragic, noir feel to it. It would also give us a good reason to interact with the private detective characters.

If the band is just our living, then what are we doing adventure-wise? Good Samaritans who are living amongst the filth who feel compelled to help out? We travel around to the "club of the week" and help the mobster-abused-girlfriend or down-on-his-luck-dishwasher?

ok... I definitely have a really strong mob vibe in my head. I'm fine with that, but don't let me suck you into that if you want to go a different direction.

A different direction could be we're X-Men types trying to go around and find/rescue metas. Could be working for a private benefactor of some sort or maybe a government agency.

You mean the third level of wealth? You'd be the equivalent to a millionaire. :)




The singing mob. My exact thoughts even before I finished reading your post. :)

Made a slight change. instead of Detective Flea, I am now Professor Flea, with a Doctorate in Aetherics. A bit more steampunky with a dollhouse sized base and an awesome ornithopeter (which is also tiny).

I'm debating between a sort of perfect human with no apparent powers and an illusionist.
