I'm struggling to see the downside of starting the game sooner? It enables those that want to post sooner the ability to do so. If you're not ready by Friday, you don't miss out on anything because the game has been open for one more day and other people have been able to post.

I'll be out of the house all of Saturday, so doesn't make a difference to me.

Not that I can technically vote for either option, anyway.

I'll probably not be able to post till Monday because weekends are generally quite busy for me, so either one sounds good to me.

Maybe as a compromise, open Friday but count for inactivity as if we started Saturday? That way people who want to go in early can, and people who'd prefer to prepare still have their usual allotted amount of time.


And that's why we pay Doc the big bucks.

I agree with Morden to the flavour of Doc. No harm can be done by opening the IC early but no point in penalizing anyone who isn't able to post early.

I'm honestly cool with either one, but I prefer sooner to later. If we've got two whole weeks to get in our first post before the cutoff, one day isn't a huge deal-breaker one way or the other.

Yeah, if you and Hillan are all set with whatever the opening post is, then there is zero logistical difference between Friday and Saturday start dates.

"Ya last gunfight ain’t always the one that kills ya. Sometimes it’s the one that don’t."

What makes a man an outlaw?

What drives a man away from civilisation, and turns him to seek the harsh solitude of the desert? To seek such a barren place, so scornful of humanity that he spurns it entirely, and walks out into a wasteland devoid of life?

What makes a man turn against his nature? What takes a good heart and noble soul, and twists both until they are unrecognisable, even to a mother, even to the very individual himself?

For Jonah Hex, the answer was Love.

Born November 1820. Died August 1863. And now, some 200 years after his first arrival, Jonah Hex rises again from beneath the sands of the Sonoran Desert and walks back into the world of man. His head swims with figments and memories, his brain frantically seizing any thread of reality it can find, past or present. Family. Slavery. Freedom. Betrayal. Names and faces fade in and out, but nothing feels as real as the sand in his boots or cold steel in his hands. But for Jonah, newly alive and lost in the modern world, merely one question remains.

What makes a man come back?

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

"Now Roman", you say, confusion in your voice, "are you sure you have not made a mistake? I appreciate Daredevil is defunct, this being a DC game and all, but this 'Jonah Hex' fellow hardly looks ANYTHING like Constantine. Are you feeling well, my good man? Perhaps you are an impostor. Yes, that's it, a charleton, masquerading as our dear Roman. WHO ARE YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR ASSOCIATE??!"

"Now Now," I reply, the faintest hint of amusement tinging my response, "I heard of this wonderful new technique from some respected colleagues of mine known as 'trying something new'. Now I know this is shocking - originality has not always been looked well upon in our line of work - but I must admit some fancy took to my mind that night and I resolved to experiment. So behold, gentlemen! The fruits of my labour!"

I also love cowboys and westerns and love mixing the genre with spooky supernatural goings-on. I don't know much about Jonah but I know a little about surly, miserable men with guns. This will be a Jonah out-of-time, reconciling having to rediscover his own history through fragmented memories with having to learn this strange new modern world and how to live in it, as well as trying to figure out why he's even alive 100-and-something years after his death deep in the desert. There will be heartache, mystery, bad guys and gunslinging, and hopefully three or four iterations of this game from now I'll be the 'Jonah Hex' guy and a Constantine sheet will seem just as bold and mold-breaking.

No one would ever seriously call you "our dear Roman," though. I'm starting to suspect those weren't genuine quotes.

@Byrd Man That's fine, i'm going to do a you and say that i've pretty much given up on that one. Primarily because i think most of the stories that i had in mind didn't really work in a world that has only just been introduced to super's. As such:



Yes, i know that there's a Non-DC character in this, but i think he fits the theme so well that i can't throw this in and not ask if i'm allowed him.
