Sapphire City OOC Thread

Welcome everyone to Tenbis City. First things first, if everyone could repost their character sheets here, that would be great. Secondly, on posting rules. I'm going to copy Andraria's rules here. Partly so that everyone is using the same rules when posting, and partly because they provide all the information on your character's status at that moment that anyone would want to know, making everyone's job that much easier. To those of you unlucky enough to get avatars from kpenguin,don't worry about the image (though I am going to see if I can get images for everyone). Also, it might be worth keeping the php code, so you can quickly copy and paste it.

Next, world information. Everything that is happening in Sapphire City is canon, and all of Andraria's world building still applies. But as we are playing in a different city, there are different heroes and stuff you need to know.

World Information

With all of that done, you can now go to the Out of Mission thread and make your first IC post, where we will gather the team before the we start Mission 1. Also, while we do the prologue, everyone can discuss whether they want to be in alpha team in beta team for the first mission. Usually I'll give you a hint to what both teams will be doing, but since it is the same mission regardless, and I'm just splitting you up to make combat go faster, it doesn't matter.

Do we use colors for our character's speaking? If so I call Purple.

Are the teams set or are they determined by the needs of the mission?

Thanks for remembering colours. I forgot about that.

Alpha and Beta team will change every adventure, so everyone can get a chance to play with each other. You will be allowed to choose who is in which team each time, but I will have some conditions, mostly making sure that everyone gets the chance to play with everyone else and that certain players do certain missions that were built around their character.

Prophet_of_Io, I don't think you haven't forgotten anything



Also, I edited the Out of Combat thread to give the time and the location of warehouse, as well as correcting the fact that it was nine heroes, not eight. Forget about Passage, who counts as a member of the team even though she will mostly just be teleporting. Looking forward to seeing everyone's first IC posts.

I'll be claiming Gray as my color. Also we should probably wait and see what the missions are before wanting to jump on one team or another.

EDIT: Oh yeah, how are the invitations sent out? Also I can imagine if Boo's known about this team hideout, she's probably sleeping in it somewhere.

Most of the times I will give you some idea about the mission, but this case is an exception. While you will be split up to make combat and stuff faster, you will both be working on the same mission, so there is no need to know any specifics until I reveal them. For every other mission, though, I will give you an idea before you select teams.

Also, the invitation comes whatever way will be best for your character to get it. Most of them will just be done by an e-mail or text, but with Boo, it will probably be contacting Malaya.

After reading Helios's background, i just came to realize that right now Alana has an alien race that will hunt her down. Even if Alana never joined the team, she would have eventually met up with them due to Empirion.

Glad you liked Avengers. I've already seen it twice, including the midnight premiere. Currently my favourite film of the year and I've watched a lot this year.

Question for you MnM gurus. How does secondary effect work? Do you purchase both the primary and the secondary effect then apply the secondary effect modifier to the later? Or do you get the secondary effect for 'free' once you add the modifier to the primary effect?

Well from what Reg's told me, you can modify powers after you've bought them so long as you've got the points for the mod.

Btw, is anyone else going to drop by the warehouse? Vulpini and Inspired maybe running out of things to talk about.

Character Sheet: Please post the link to your character sheet here. I do not really care where you host it, so long as it is easy to access and you can keep it up to date. If you just want to type it up, that's fine, but put it after the form or tuck it under a spoiler tag. Remember, it should include everything from abilities right through to equipment.
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance: Tall Dark-Skinned Male (Half Hispanic) with lean musculature. Has a tribal tattoo on his left shoulder and wrist.
Costume:Dark Blue, With red on his chest, shoulders, and streaking down his arms.
Powers:
Roger managed to steal a belt which covers him in a form fitting Repulsion Field, making him super tough and strong and able to fly and fire repulsion beams. In a fight, Roger goes for the straight forward approach and starts swinging punches. It’s not so much that he isn’t creative, but because that’s what he knows he’s best at.
Without his belt, Roger is a slightly above average street brawler.

Personality:
There was a time when Roger was the worst of the worst. Running with Gangs, doing drugs, and being involved in crime. The problem was that Roger didn’t care about anyone or anything, not even himself, so he was able to do a lot of bad stuff.
But now he had a sudden change of heart, now that he was able to see that the world was much bigger than anything that he was familiar with. He’s started trying to turn his life around.

Background:
Roger Garcia was a kid growing up on the wrong side of town and in a broken home. His mother went missing on the streets one day, and his father devolved into a hopeless, angry drunk. With no one for him at home or anywhere else, its small wonder why he turned to gang life for a sense of belonging.
He stayed with the gang for a number of years, peddling drugs, getting high, fighting other gangs, until one day the gang heard about a smuggling operation dealing with all sorts of high tech super gear. Thinking that they could get a leg up on their competition, they planned a raid on their warehouse.
It didn’t go well. At all. These guys were incredibly serious about protecting their stash. They had barely managed to open a single crate before a bunch of power armored mooks descended on them, and they weren’t pulling any punches. It took everything he had and then some to escape with his life. When he was far enough away, and his excitement run down, Roger found himself alone in an alley and some kind of shiny silver belt.
With no one around and curious about what it was he risked his life for, he strapped it around his waist. Suddenly, a red energy surrounded his body, and he slowly lifted into the air. He didn’t have long to marvel at this miracle, when he quickly shot up into the sky in an unexpected trip of the cities sky line. He was in awe at just how big the city actually was, how beautiful it was when he looked down at it. Then an idea popped into his head: just how far could he go?
Only one way to find out.
He shot straight into the air, like a rocket, sailing past the layers of the atmosphere and into the black reaches of space. He adjusted his course, and landed on the moon. He couldn’t believe it; he was actually on the moon. How many times when he was a kid had he dreamed about being an astronaut, landing on the moon and exploring the galaxy. Thinking about his childhood had him thinking about how he turned out now. Obviously, life had turned out very differently from how he imagined it back then.
That was when he looked up at the earth, and he stood in awe. The world turned out to be much bigger than he thought it was. It was bigger than his father, bigger than his gang, bigger than the ghetto he lived and grew up in. It was so big, so full of possibilities he had never considered before, never thought possible… gave up caring about.
No more, he decided. No more run down apartments, drunken fathers, and no more gang life. The world was a big, new place to live in. He was going to turn his life around, and now he had the power to do it. He left his home behind and moved to Saphire city, an easy feat to do considering how fast he moved. He stayed at a community center for a while, fighting crime and doing good, hoping to catch the interest of a superhero team, until the day that Sabre finally took notice of him.
Finally, life was turning out well for him.


NPC: Wilson Jeffers; Aging African American Man who runs a community center

Wilson is an old man in charge of Tenbis cities down town Community Center, who helped Roger get a place to live. He doesn’t know about Roger’s criminal past, but he’s been in the business long enough to know that he was likely involved in something less than legal, but he doesn’t mention it. He does however know about Roger’s secret identity as ‘The Rocket Man’ as the papers call him, and has become an important source of moral support. Roger now works at the Community Center and lives in a nearby apartment.

Just so everyone knows I'm not being lazy, I'm going to let you talk a bit before Paladin comes into scene and we start the adventure, so everyone can introduce their character to each other. Nice to see nearly everyone is posting now.

Also, I have sent a pm to Pinnacle so hopefully Pinnacle will turn up here soon

Ooh, nice fluff I like it.

Also I'm judging the Heros Alex knows based on what I think he would remember. The reason he's not familiar with the flashy Heros is because he doesn't want to be one, Reaver is a hero without powers that, like him, fights crime on a local level and even if he only heard one obscure even rumor based story, it would've stuck. But if you think he shouldn't be aware of him I can edit it out

Quick question.

How many of you guys have been on the news in some way? Just to see how many inspired would actually recognize.

In Inspired's case, her major appearance was about two weeks ago when a witch by the name of Inkwell attacked the redjacket convention center.

You've probably seen a bit of Helios. I kind of want to play him as having been working with Paladin on and off for a year or so, just having her support and training but off 'heroing' on his own. So possibly some minor crime stoppages and rescues, but nothing huge.

One change I will ask. Paladin has been away from the hero scene for six months and only been back for a month. Helios can have worked with Paladin before and after her break, but of course cannot have worked alongside her during the six month break
