Expressing my interest as well. A question, however, how often would you like us to post because I can probably do a post or two a week. Is that acceptable?


A post or two a week is perfectly fine. I probably won't be doing much more than that myself. So long as I know everyone's still active and working on a post, everything's A-okay.

Question: powers. How high are you willing to set the bar for powers?


On a scale from a retired Barnacle Boy to God, I'm hoping people will aim more for the less-than-astonishing X-Men characters; abilities that are good, but not amazing. Like Rogue, or Nightcrawler.

Then again, I may change my mind when I see what you had planned. If you want feedback on this power you speak of, PM me it and I can let you know. We can always work something out.

Good question. I'm thinking a mage type heroine with pyromancy and control over shadows. Don't want her to be to OP, though. Especially since magic isn't exactly "realistic."


Pyromancy and "umbrakinesis," as it's apparently called, doesn't sound too over-powered to me. It sounds like a good combo - very dark and brooding. Ooh, "Firelight"! That could be a good name.

Some ideas don't sound realistic initially, but if the writer's good at handling and explaining it, it'll be okay. The whole idea of superheroes fighting advanced alien life isn't realistic itself at all. So just explain this "magic" well and we'll be good.

I'm more torn if I want to play a male or female than worry about powers lol. Though I think either/or, my 'person' will have some sort of matter manipulation.


Gender Manipulation. Can change their own and others' gender at will. There, I solved both of your problems at once. I'm so smart.

In all honesty, though: go with whichever one you're more comfortable writing for. Unless you like a challenge. Then go with the opposite one. Yeah, I'm really not always helpful. I try, though.

I've been roleplaying both genders for all about 12 years now, they are both comfortable to me. I'll just kind of wait around and see what other CS's pop up and help balance the gender scale with whatever we need more.

I guess a good character is a character who isn't defined by their gender, right? If it helps at all though, there often tends to be more male characters than female, I've noticed.

@Palindromatic Should I bring back my gunslinger and probability manipulator, or make a new guy?

Cause I'm stumped on ideas for a new character.

If you're talking about Warren, I liked that guy. He was a good character. I can see him fitting into the story - he's old, scarred, physically not what he used to be. He could be good!

If you want to bring in another character later, you always can.

I know, right? I'm slow, but I'm also excited. I'm aiming to have it up by tonight, but by "tonight" I really mean "probably tomorrow".

You can post it here if you want me to review the CS early? I wouldn't mind reading it if you have it ready.

Nah, not Warren. Check my signature for a character named Samuel Williams.

Oh, well, you mentioned there would be more information available in the OOC. I'm fine with getting a headstart on my CS, but I was waiting to see what other info you were going to provide us with. I pretty much have all the basic parts taken care of, though I still need to address the longer sections. Like 'Backstory' lol.

The OOC will be up tonight, along with the bulk of the information. I realize it's generally a little easier for people to have all the information at once to help shape the character. I just have this problem of writing too much... now I have too much to write and even more to cut out.

@palindromatic Lol, I'm the same way. It's kinda part of my process. I write a whole bunch of incoherent shit then edit the hell out of it lol.

The OOC is now up! Keep in mind, it may still be an eyesore, and not all of the information is there just yet (mainly the Past Events category). But it's now open for applications.

Drop in and post your CS/say you're working on it whenever!
