[OOC] The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

[DrewVonAwesome]

@DrewVonAwesome That's why the focus is downtime in our civies in-game, the holidays will always get to even the best of us. I'm physically drained from all the running around. @rocketrobie2 had Momentum trying to befriend Bulk Lad in his last post!

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

I didn't see that yet. I'll get a post going tonight or tomorrow.

[Omega Man]

I'm in the Legion titanpad now!

CONGRATULATIONS @rocketrobie2! You're the first hero to move up a level reaching five posts in game! Where do you want the stat point to go? And remember if it's in Attack or Defense you gotta list the name of your move!

~KL~

[Omega Man]

@rocketrobie2 and myself have BOTH leveled up [working on card updates as I type this before work] and there's two or three more of you on deck to level up. For the sake of saving space I'm going to remove the absent players from the stat card group now as well.

@Gisk Since your guy is inspired by existing material you can begin at Level 2 stats. Where do you want your next stat point to go? (Since it's Capt. Marvel I'm gonna go ahead and put it on strength so I can post his stat card before work. Your stats also needed an extra point on Health, so you've got 2 more points now on Health than you had before.)

~KL~

[Gisk]

@The Kid Lantern Yeah, Strength is just fine.

I kind of wanted to wait until a crisis of some form to reveal my character, as I wanted his secret identity to remain secret from most at first, but I don't know how long that will be. Is it work waiting?

[Omega Man]

@Gisk That's cool if you wanna wait until I have more badguys show up. It'll likely happen while we're still in our civies, then your guy can come in clad in his costume and take it down...

~KL~

[Gisk]

Sounds good to me, though I might make a little fluff post today, just to bump the thread and introduce my character's secret ID.

[Gisk]

No one needs to interact with him, but I put him downtown in case someone wants to.

It's really just meant to be a kind of introduction until I get to whip out his super powers.

[rocketrobie2]

@Gisk I gotta say, Tommy seems pretty rad. I really love Captain Marvel and just having Tommy hang out at a classic arcade makes him all the cooler.

plus I freaking love guitar hero so plus one there too.

[DrewVonAwesome]

If activision has any say it would be a heck of a lot higher than Guitar Hero 13 by that point...

@DrewVonAwesome

The devil is always in the details homie...

On a street in downtown Metropolis, there was an old fashioned video arcade. “Old fashioned,” here meaning “cheap.” They didn't have any of the latest games, many in fact being nearly a thousand years old(the hardware long since replaced, but the game itself remaining unchanged). The upshot was, if you didn't mind the lack of modern neural feedback, it was a very affordable place for a gamer on a budget.

@Gisk

LOL

~KL~

[Gisk]

It is indeed. I actually went back and forth about what number to choose for that. The other game was important too.

Happy New Years and all that.

[Omega Man]

So... HAPPY NEW YEARS YA'LL!

I just wanted to chime in and let you guys know I'm steadily working on shifting the plots to keep everyone on their toes and to make this the best game possible. Also, I'm reworking a few characters' micros a little including new ones for Hawk [I needed to uncross his arms and I'm working to make his Nth metal armor look more Hawkman-ish], Momentum, as well as anybody else who might want something tweaked for like an avatar or something.

Since we also lost a few people I'm gonna make it an option after players have ten posts in-game that if they wish they can pick up a second character. Don't start getting too worked up though cause there's only a few of us right now around the halfway mark. Just wanted to toss the idea out there though so you can begin thinking about how you might wanna spin a second character.

~KL~

[Omega Man]

New sig, you can see some of the tweaks. Momentum got a new symbol and gained about twenty pounds in muscle and a little more height, Hawk's helmet is getting tweaked [and I'm gonna give him a weapon and play with the wing design more], and I dropped Bulk Lad down to his normal form since he hasn't went incredible Bulk in-game yet.

I'm in the titanpad if anybody's around!

@The Kid Lantern

I did have him be all bulky when he ended up in the training room with Hawk. The transformation was in between posts so I have no idea if it came across or not.

[Omega Man]

I think I remember reading it that way now, IDK what I was thinking. But I time skipped that mission anyway since @knighthawk got quiet on us for a bit LOL

Anybody hear anything from @Tengri lately? She's the only female on the team now...

~KL~

[Gisk]

@The Kid Lantern

If gender ratio is an issue, it would be very easy to change my Captain Marvel to a female.

@Gisk

Nah it's cool man. If I think we *really* need them to make it look like less of a sausage party then I'll just create a new member or two as an NPC.

@The Kid Lantern

I like the new symbol and I really like the little vibration shadow thing he has going on though I'm not to big of a fan of him being that buff. I kinda imagined him to be a little scrawnier than most of the group. As for sleeves vs no sleeves I like 'em both. One seems very classic while the other more fits Pano. The only thing clothing wise I liked more about the original though we're the gloves.

@rocketrobie2

*Goes back to search micros* I gave him gloves early on?

My standard sized hero base is what I used on Ultraboy and Ferro Lad, the slightly more buff base was used for Capt. Marvel, buff teen was used for Hawk, Cosmic Boy, and Superforce. I *think* Bulk Lad uses my standard short teen base while the newer Momentum used the tall base [because he was more lean]. I edited the shoulders and skinnyness of the forearms to mirror their shape more in the original micro base I used for him [I can't find it anymore for some reason]. I use the short and tall teen bases when I don't want them to appear as fit as the others who have more detail in the abs, legs, and ribs.

If you want I can put him on a shorter base and give him gloves, his head fin though is gonna make him tall looking either way. The micro he's on now actually has less muscle definition with a lack of what my wife calls 'ribletts', the extra definition line in the shoulders, as well as less details in the chest. The other base I used for Momentum I liked because of the shape of the torso, and it may have been skinnier than the base I used, but I have no idea where I saved/found that base...

If anybody else wants, to show an evolution of characters, I can make tweaks/updates to the micros similar to what I've done with Momentum once everyone begins leveling up. I'm already thinking about putting a little more white in Ultra Boy's suit...

~KL~

[rocketrobie2]

@The Kid Lantern Lol, I guess I must have just imagined him with gloves or something. Also now that I look at him again I kinda like the amount of muscles that he has in the new micro. I think it might have just been a matter of 'this is different so I don't like it' but I actually like the changes in height and all now.
