No, no. I didn't mean that. I was just fooling around and picturing a scenario--- Unless?

Just curious but who is all going to the New York event?

If there's any trepidation over this one for any reason (like my game activity, or setting questions regarding source material) don't hesitate to reach out, I agree that it's odd, but I'm pretty confident in the concept.

When are we getting a Goku app tho [+]

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty-three years ago, the world as we know it almost ended. Mass destruction of souls tipped the metaphysical balance in ways that would have collapsed the cycle of life and death, creating a world with neither. It may have been a better world, especially for those who fear death, but it was averted. Things did and still do remain as they are. Chad did not save the world himself, but he was there supporting his friends along the way, recognized for it in some ways as others went unnoticed, and that was fine. Since then he’s found footing in a boxing career, becoming world renown after more than a decade in the ring. But for all his strength, he has so much buried within that hasn’t seen the light of day. The part of him that burns to fight has grown cold as hard fists are covered in padded gloves. The part of him that flourishes from helping others has withered under the spotlight. The devils in his shoulders are whispering to him to seek something more, and he is one chance encounter away from listening. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ An off-handed reference to Bleach in the Discord channel discussing this experimental game in this lineage left me wondering: how could I make it work? While most of the setting would be relatively difficult to incorporate due to its deliberate distance from Earth’s society and human perception, Chad is what’s called a Fullbring, and can use his powers without turning into a ghost that’s invisible to most people like the majority of the rest of the cast. And he’s also Chad. Bleach is a favorite story of mine, but in a cast of phenomenal characters, Chad is at once among the main cast and is only passably fine. The 'Yamcha' of Bleach, if you will. Part of my aim would be to expand and focus on a relatively secondary character in the source material. An angle with which to do that is his age. Comics are cyclical, rebooting characters and moving their storylines forward in time (Captain America was once displaced from WWII by only a couple decades…). But manga start, go for their length, and end, with really popular ones continuing on in some fashion (Bleach included as we wait for its continuation after a tease several years ago now). To represent this, I set the Bleach timeline at exactly the length it is in canon. The main conflict of Bleach concluded in 2003 over 20 years ago, the epilogue set 10 years later too long over. While he has so much context to his backstory, in the RP he’s a gentle giant who’s boxing career is leaving him cold, his superhero career being born out of an intersection of the fighting he enjoys (at odds with his defensive pacifism) and the kindness and will to help others that are so central to who he is. In rediscovering the self he hasn’t touched since high school, he’ll rediscover the strength he tempered alongside his friends, and perhaps see some inner devils along the way.

Speaking of getting Ghost Rider started, I just want to check with Pacifista and Hillan whether you have anything in mind for Jubilee, or if you're okay with me having her vamped-up as a supporting character for my run?

<Snipped quote by Pacifista>

I genuinely don't know enough about Bleach to be comfortable accepting this sheet into the game. While I trust you as a writer, this is feeling outside the bounds of my comfort and limits as a GM.

If anyone else wants to weigh in, I'd be happy to listen, but I've been mulling a response for several days now, and I keep coming back to no.

That's completely fair. If you have anything specific you want to ask (like about wider setting implications), I can do my best. I also have a first post done, so if you'd like I can finish the follow up that concludes the section and PM them to you if you want to get the vibe for how my take reads.

<Snipped quote by Pacifista>

That would actually be great and incredibly helpful for me.

<Snipped quote by Theyra>

Planning on hopping in with a post in the next day or two.

It's a bit iffy if the turtles will join or not (got more hours at work so yea lmao) but I hope to.

C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight another woman died in New York and nobody cares. This City is just like Gotham; turning people into background noise and letting the rain wash away the edges of what's left. She'll be a line item tomorrow, if she's anything at all and then it'll just happen again. I used to think it was all random; all bad luck for these women, but that kind of chaos is never so clean, and never so evil. I never believed in hell but I’m starting to think someone else does and they’re patient enough to build it one life at a time. Her name was Holly and she thought this was her break. New city, new start. One good night away from something better. I’ve heard that story before. By the time I found her someone had already decided what she was worth. Just another girl to force through the cracks and let her name disappear twice; once from the street, then from the record. Somebody built this entire system and it's working exactly as intended. Vicki Vale thinks she can drag it into the light. Maybe she can prove it exists. Me? I don’t need proof. Somebody knows why this keeps happening and when I find them, I’m not asking twice. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) __________________________________________________________________________________ Above all, this will be a self-contained story delving into all things cult, occult, and the cyclical nature of power and violence. Nine lives, nine posts, one story. I want to lean into my weird and wonderful way of twisting a narrative into something character driven and exciting, and hopefully compelling to read. It will be from the POV of Selina/Catwoman navigating her search in a new city (there are a lot of players in Gotham already so this may not work there) with a side support of Vicki Vale offering a different perspective on the case and disappearances, with an altogether different motive, and some appearances of Felicia Hardy as New York's original cat.

My apologies, Catwoman is accepted.

For some reason, I thought this was a WIP.

In other news, I've started construction on a Discord server for us to encourage more communication and collaboration. Joining is completely optional, but open to everyone.

I'll also add this to the OP for easier finding.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

When the discord bot tells you no even when you agree to the rules. Lol

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>Awesome! I will write up my second post by this weekend and PM both to you, plus anything else I might feel is important to mention.
