Their numbers had finally returned, the Guardians of the Universe were back in control, and Oa was once again orbiting a star in sector 0. Mogo, former home base of the GLC and sentient planet Lantern, was also still in sector zero and served as a new training grounds for the rookies in the Corps after taking a smaller form to conserve his energies. The Honor Guard was now headed up by John Stewart and Guy Gardner of sector 2814, and currently helping Lanterns within a ten sector radius deal with a family of Sun Eaters. The city of alien structures around the Central Power Battery was now called New Maltus, and thousands of alien refugees from destroyed planets and star systems had been offered residence. These refugees worked in restaurants, clothing stores, the Corps apartment complexes, etc. and kept the GLC honest. Some six hundred or so Lanterns stationed on Oa had even moved their families there.[/b][/i][/color] [center][img] https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/d/d3/Oa_002.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101024030929[/img] [color=limegreen][sub]The city of New Maltus, on the planet Oa.[/sub][/color][/center] [color=limegreen][i][b]On Mogo the Corps was trained under senior Lanterns Kilowog and Stel. Mogo had been sized down to conserve energy, but had the ability to change his geography, weather conditions, and other things including creating a race of aliens for the Corps to train against. The Boar Beasts varied in size but were much better to train against than other Lanterns or constructs. Aside from the roughly six hundred Lanterns stationed somewhere on Oa, the rest of the Corps actively patrolled the more inhabited sectors in the 3,600 sectors of the universe. There were sector houses throughout the universe, roughly one for every ten sectors or so. In order for the Guardians’ agents to better serve in their assigned duties, these structures were created and shaped like Green Lanterns’ power batteries which were used to hold captives in custody in order to be brought to Oa for confinement in a Sciencell. They also served as recreational centers as well as meeting places for Green Lanterns of the neighboring sectors. A warning system within these buildings notified the ring bearers of any troubles within the sector. Think of it like a space station apartment complex with an Oan rec room somewhere and holding cells.[/b][/i][/color] [center][img]https://img.purch.com/o/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5uZXdzYXJhbWEuY29tL2ltYWdlcy9pLzAwMC8xMTYvNjcwL2kwMi9HcmVlbi1MYW50ZXJuLTI1LTEuanBn[/img] [color=limegreen][sub]The sentient planet GL, MOGO![/sub][/color][/center] The role-play would begin with players either stationed on Oa, training on Mogo with ‘Wog and Stel, or off patrolling their own sectors. If we do this stat based, only the larger battles would include the stat system. Here’s a quick breakdown of the system, basically a simplified D&D set-up… [hider=STAT Breakdowns] The stats for this game will include: I.Q. - (how strong your characters are mentally, for example Brainiac would have a pretty high I.Q. where a rookie's would be less. Average human/alien would be 2.) IQ will determine if your Signature move is worth double [IQ set at 1-5] or triple [IQ set at 6-10] hp. Strength - (1-5 has -1 damage, 6-10 has -2 damage) Average human strength would be set at 2, only characters with heightened or super strength should increase higher! EDIT: However, one could view your strength as the strength of your attacks! Speed - (1-3 has 3 attacks per post, 4-7 has 4 attacks available, 8-10 has 5 attacks) Speed NOW also effects Defense in the same way Attack is effected by Strength. 1-5 speed regains +1 health, 6-10 is +2 health. Attack - (number of attacks) Players will have melee attacks that are not included on your attack stat including basic punches and kicks, an ring blast, and alien tail swipes or bites. Attack is for things like construct hammers, throw, generic alien powers like acid spit, etc... Defense – (number of defense moves) Each defensive move can be used twice per battle. If your defense is 2 and the battle lasts 4 posts you can use 4 defense moves. If the battle rages on for 7 posts you are still limited to only 4 defensive moves total in that case. Defense can't block a signature attack! Health - (IQ+strength+speed+defense) Health is also reset every 8 posts or during time skips in-game! *Signature moves awarded at Level 3 do double or triple damage depending on IQ. The attack/defense itself should include your alien ability. The only defense against a signature attack is a signature defense that can also be a move based on your alien ability. Signature Defense is also the only defense you can use to help another player directly in-game from an enemy attack be it a regular attack or signature attack! At the moment you can only have one or the other, Signature Attack or Signature Defense. Now... that's not a lot of info at all really. As far as stats go, I know once you have 6 points on strength some of you might ask "what's the point of having strength or speed any higher?" and the simple answer is writing limitations. If a character like Superman has 6 strength and a God like Zeus walks by with a strength of 8, in the context of the story Zeus would of course be viewed as stronger. Same thing applies for speed. Power Class - you earn a stat point/level for every 5 posts in-character. Level 1 - 16 points - 1-5 posts Level 2 - 17 points - 6-10 posts Level 3 - 18 points (plus signature attack or defense!) - 11-15 posts Level 4 - 19 points - 16-20 posts Level 5 - 20 points - 21-25 posts Level 6 - 21 points - 26-30 posts Level 7 - 22 points - 31-35 posts Level 8 - 23 points - 36-40 posts Level 9 - 24 points - 41-45 posts Level 10 - 25 points 46-50 posts If the game lasts long enough, and it might, we'll go beyond Level 10 and probably continue on to Level 15. Boss stats will be Level 15 to Level 20 with stats between 30-35 points making a team effort to defeat the enemy a must.[/hider] I should also go ahead and mention this will be on another site (a Green Lantern Corps forum) that I’m trying to get some more traffic in before it dies. We went from about 100 active posters down to about 66 in the last few months. If I can even get five of you guys to join those forums for the RP then I’ll have met my goal LOL. http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24744 This will also be an RP where I’ve provided over 40 microhero heads and 23 body bases so players can create their own GL’s for this RP. So even if we decide against the stat system, there’s still plenty of stuff to keep your interest. So far we’ve got around 5 or 6 interested parties, if I can get somewhere between 10-15 total I think we’ll have a great cosmic themed RP on our hands. One of the Mods of the site is also interested in joining, so if there’s ANY problems we’re gonna have a guy already on call who can help us with the quickness. If you’re interested click the link above or the one in my signature. Plot details, Character Sheet requirements, etc. will be discussed on the other site. Let me know here though if you’re game!
