Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

So guy in charge of the mass surveillance organization is willing to work with the heroes but he is knows to be politically active so you don't know if he is passing on a bit of info about a villain in good faith or because they are politically inconvenient.

I like it.

Seconded in all categories.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

Put up a new setting element. The superprison, similiar to the Raft in Marvel Comics or Blackgate Prison or Arkham Asylum in DC.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

Gateway prison.

An island fortress secretly run by The Way.

Where is the prison located?

-Near the City. The prison is located on the outskirts of the city, within a few hours’ drive or boat ride.

How does the prison control its populace?
-Extreme Violence. The warden gives the guards a long leash when it comes to the amount of violence they are allowed to use when
quelling prisoner resistance.

What are the prison's open secrets? (Pick two)

-The Prison Makes Prisoners Worse. People are not rehabilitated at this prison. Instead, minor criminals come out hardened, and dangerous criminals emerge from the prison more psychopathic than ever.

-Downtrodden Populace. A significant portion of the population of the prison is there not because they have committed crimes worthy of
the prison, but because they have unfairly been classified as a major threat to the safety of the city by politicians with an agenda.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

Name: Emily Kessler

What is this person fundamentally like?

A spunky, rising star of a reporter.

What kind of media outlet does they work for?
Print. The media outlet produces newspapers or magazines. Emily is also part of the online version of the Detroit Beacon.

What is the source of their greatest bias?
A Past Encounter. This person had a past run-in with a powered individual that left them scarred or in awe of people with powers.

Emily is works at David's Brock's newspaper, and is a better reporter than him. They where engaged to be married, but David broke it off with a text message and nothing else. Emily, way to smart to fall for such a dumb tactic, has managed to brow beat her editor, David's old family friend Bernie Jacobs, to what is really going on. David was shot and accidentally changed into Shade, and is too cowardly to confess it to her. Now she is trying to reconnect with him...and try and get the scoop of a lifetime.

How do they cover superheroes?
Opportunistic Coverage. Their work touches on heroes as just another source of news, no more exceptional than coverage of politics, sports, or entertainment news.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

So Shade, you just going to keep defending me so I can pummel this guy with Punishment rather than healing myself?

This guy is a weird fight for me because I can Hit him harder because he Hinders me but I really need to heal myself and the Hinder would hurt me there.

Name: Ziven Null
First Apperance:

Sort of like if Elon Musk were running facebook. Wealthy and sort of super hero obsessed.

What is this person fundamentally like?
An ambitious spotlight-hog media executive.

What kind of media outlet does they work for?
Internet Media. The outlet is a website or social media network.

What is the source of their greatest bias?
Missed Opportunities. They were passed over for promotion and still seek a “big break,” sensationalizing stories for a bigger audience.

How do they cover heroes in their work?
Exploitative Superhero Gossip. They spread rumors and tabloid gossip, profiting from the salacious and often untrue reporting.

Allow me to rephrase.

Shade, keep defending me so I can pummel this guy with Punishment rather than healing myself.

That ability you used is a Reaction? I think I have the same one. So no harm if you use it to block for me. Especially now that it's 6 on 1.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

So that's the scene over. Will leave it up for roleplaying for now. I will be on holiday next two weeks, though I will have access to internet, I don't know if I'll have energy after babysitting my niece and nephew during daytime.

Will try to get in one or two posts a week. But will probably hold of on setting up a new action scene for now.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

Evie needs a complete redesign, she is boring as hell tactically. She should wade through minions but has zero abilities that allow her to target multiple foes. Using overcomes to deal with groups of them feels like cheating, but Principle Of The Indestructable is about all she has for that kind of thing. Am not using a third of my Green and Yellow abilities, and two-thirds of my Red ones. Hrm.

The GM may allow you to take a minor twist to effect more than one target.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

Honestly I'd appreciate a minor rebuild as well...putting a full d12 into density manipulation seemed fun, but I ended up not using it until I was in the red zone basically. Radiant is a much more on theme power to have that strong.

Re: OOC: Setting Creation and Out of Character

@Shade. Janey would have started her career during the villainous takeover of Canada. She is very publicly vocal about publicly decrying the current Canadian government. She focuses mostly on helping refugees and has probably done some runs across the boarder in secret, so there are probably rumors about that.

We hadn't talked about there being a Canadian government in exile or anything.

If you've seen the Handmaids Tale, think something along the lines of what Captain America would do if her were exiled in Canada.

Before I reset the Scene Status thread remember that you have 4 hero points to use in issue #3.
