See thats the sort of thing I am looking to avoid

Bwahahaha you guys are funny! XD

Can't wait to start playing!

I have an IRL meeting in 20mins that will be like 2 hour long (ugh) as soon as that's done, I'll start approving and getting the first IC thread started! :)

Awesome, I am excited.

Question should we be working on character connections or do you have that handled/we are meeting in game?

Welcome Viktoria Zacynthos! Drinks cost money, Ice cones are on the house! ;p

Blain, Any of you can choose to pair up and your first sessions will reflect that. So, yes! Just let me know if any of you decide to do so.

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 33):

Sigh...what flavor ice cone do you want?

I don't have yellow. For...obvious reasons.

:P

hehehe

haha John!

and guys, let me know soon about any pair-ups!

If anyone has a deep background in science or tech, John may have known them.

Any one interested in a team up? If so please message me direct and we can chat.

In reply to Blain Carter (msg # 37):

Would Blain have investigated the crime that turned John into Doctor Zero?

That is entirely possible actually.

In reply to Blain Carter (msg # 39):

Well, this is what happened-but I can't tell you everything because if you just solve the crime and arrest everybody I will lose out on my main bad guy!

You can't just arrest your main bad guy before the first session!

hehehe

So, Doctor Emily Kessler came up with the idea of using a new form of cold fusion for energy purposes. She would harness Zero point energy, that is the energy that would be released upon reaching absolute zero. However, something happened with the reactor, and one person-John Tashiro, locked himself in the containment unit to shut the reactor down before it hit zero. While John managed to not have the building turn into a huge glacier, something weird did happen. A humanoid made of ice and dead cold flesh seem to come out of the accident.

John and Emily would have been available for interview afterwards. The thing is called 'Doctor Zero' because he seems to feed on Zero point energy and is dressed in a jumpsuit and lab coat. Needless to say, Doc Zero vanished after the...'meltdown' is not the right word, but close...and is being accused of corporate sabotage by the owner of Charnycorp, Richard Charny.

Charny is a long time plutocrat, backer of right-wing politicians, and has been sued unsuccessful many times for many crimes, but economic and otherwise. A lot of rumors about backing right wing mercenaries, but no proof. An investigation does reveal that some sort of device was put into the reactor at the last moment. However, there is almost nothing left of the device, and what it did, due to the extensive damage of having every atom is rendered still and all of its potential heat energy absorbed. So...not much to go on as physical evidence goes.

Welcome Lucrezia Anastacia Lopez! Try our new whiskey made with real lizard people tails!

Welcome Tyler Jensen! Sit wherever you like.

Welcome all!

Hm...big cast.

Hey all!  Feel free to just call me Lucy.  :)

In reply to Esperanza Oshiro (msg # 43):

Haha yeah i just had to close the game to new applicants. The game will playout a bit like a sandbox so you will be broken up into smaller groups.


Please see if any other players want to team up for the first scene. Otherwise, as I approve enough character sheets, I will begin opening threads by the end of the week.

Hello everyone, I'm Tyler and I like card games.

I'm leaning into the concept of making card games real though my best friend plays tennis and my family has been employed by super villains as a computer programmer (grandfather) and a soldier/security for my late father.

Still young 18-19 age.with the idea for disguise of trench coat, cloth mask and a homemade shield of wood and a child's tennis racket.

Hey all! I created an announcements thread. Please check it out.

I also created a 'state of the world' pin. Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be further fleshed out.

So so far only John Tashiro, Esperanza Oshiro, and Sarah Collins are ready for approval?


Does anyone want to team up before I start IC threads?

New Background, given the situation we all live in!

John and Emily actually work for the military police state that runs the city. As they have access to actual technology, they need scientists and engineers to fix their gear. Emily and John grew up in families that lived in the richer sections of the city. Those families are allowed privileges that the rest of the people don't get access to. However, both John and Emily met in a secret resistance enclave.

Given how they where both key members of the rulers tyrannical machine, they both could steal small parts of technology to help the underground resistance. Emily knew the cause would need tech to survive, so she was a genius who figured out how to access Zero point energy. The man who runs the supplies for the city, Richard Charny, had tasked Emily to experiment with her research for his purposes in secret. After all, the supervillains who really run the world do not want limitless energy for everyone, just them. If they found out what Charny was doing, they would get rid of him. Emily used this to her advantage, and got the parts needed for John, her engineer boyfriend, to put together.

The plan was working well, and it looked like the Zero point reactor was going to be a full success. However, the enforcers had gotten wind of the resistance's hidden lair, and moved in to take the place down. John forced Emily into the secrets passage with the others, but he had to stay behind to destroy the reactor. In doing so, the enforces shot the device, causing it to malfunction.

The reactor went off, and John was transformed into what the enforcers called 'Doctor Zero'. John managed to discover later how to change back, but he soon realized he could not stay human forever. Not without some sort of treatment with technology Emily and he had no access to...

ooooo John, that is really good. I like that

In reply to Blain Carter (msg # 51):

We can still adapt your background to the new setting. Maybe you worked for the enforcers while really being part of the resistance?

Anyone want to team up with a glass cannon?

I could make a latte machine for you out of thin air as a bonus!
