[OOC] Tony Stark Academy

[Tachikoma]

Oh gods. . . right, I'm making insisting that it is the Stark Academy and should never be refered to as the TSA an in character trait. In fact, James spends a lot of time composing e-mails trying to persuade Tony that he should change the name to avoid being confused with the real TSA.

[Tachikoma]

Also, is my character accepted? If not, do I need to edit it, or is just flat out rejected?

More importantly, has anyone figured out how to murder liquidate get rid of these godsdamned unicorns?

1) wait what are you talking abo-- OH MY GOD!!! hahaha2) Yes, all are accepted!

See he approved you

[Experiment 249]

Dear GM, I edited my suit, Basically I changed it from a lightweight to a normal weight suit because ERRYBODY is making lightweight suits. It also seemed more fitting to be heavier, since it is a momentum based suit after all

[RumikoOhara]

Iron Maiden isn't light weight, she's a tech Brick

[Experiment 249]

I was exagerating, haha, but I saw like 3 people mention lightweight so I changed it

I figured I'd ask anyway seeing as he posted that before I actually posted my CS.

[Gisk]

My CS is finished, I think. Unless I think of more details, but that oughta give the gist.

[Argetlam350]

Never got an answer in the interest check but I'll ask it here. Is it all right to have a character who also has a symbiote that takes control of the armor and becomes more of an antihero rather then a hero?

[Jones Sparrow]

I will say no to the symbiote, and to an extent on the anti hero... Stark has to trust people with suits. He won't just give them to someone who might go against other good people later on... but if its like a Wolverine type antihero, who is kinda pushed out, but really intents on doing good for the world, then yes!

knighthawk has the best unicorn hahahaha

[Gisk]

What are the accepted stats of the baseline suit that we're working with here? Most importantly, how fast can it fly? I need to know so I don't over do mine, or under do it even.

[Jones Sparrow]

As long as its fair,reasonable, and isn't over powered, its okay. It has to have a weakness of some sort

[Gisk]

Well alright then.

Tell me if it's accepted. It's still on the first page.

EDIT: Also, decided to go big or go home. Scramjets have a theoretical top speed of Mach 24, so that's what I'm going with.

[Gisk]

Other questions, hope I don't get annoying:

1) What sort of format does the Academy have? Do the students live there, like a college campus? Do they go to normal formatted classes in addition to their practical tests?

2) Does that uniform have a picture of the arc reactor on it, or is there literally a reactor built into each one of their uniforms? I figure the latter makes the most sense, seeing as it's something they'll need and it's not built into them like Stark's.

[Experiment 249]

why not put the reactor in the suits, not the shirt?

[Gisk]

Two reasons I can think of.

1) Security. That way only someone equipped with a reactor can operate a suit. Perhaps the reactors are even coded for the particular suit that belongs to the user.

2) I recall in the movies when Stark was working on things he'd often plug them into the reactor in his chest. It's a reliable portable power source.

[Jones Sparrow]

@Gisk: 1) It'll be more like a college campus. There will be dorms, and classes, but not ordinary ones. The classes will be mechanic classes, advanced math so they can calculate things on their suits, a P.E. type class where they use their suits in competitive games, and things like that. It'll be more explained in the IC when i post. And as for exams and tests, their tests will consist of them getting into their groups that are assigned, and their ability to get the job done, and working together.

2) The suit will have an arc reactor built in already. The glowing reactor will be kinda a thinner piece of technology that acts as ID when going into their suits. The reactor will scan the ones on their uniforms, and confirm that its theirs.

Alexis Character Sheet

Name: Alexis "Grandpa" Koyovski

Age: 39

Appearance:

Suit Nickname: Pyro

Suit Appearance:
Alexis' armor is based on the Mark 23 'Shades' armor, a specialized suit designed to operate in extremely high temperatures. Alexis uses this to his advantage, wielding a back-mounted flamethrower and replacing the standard flares with incendiary grenades and the warheads with napalm on the mini-missiles. It is a bit heavier than the standard suit due to the large fuel tank on his back. He has changed the desert camouflage design to matte gray with flames on the arms and legs. Alexis is only capable of walking when in his armor.

Years attended TSA: Fresh recruit

Bio: Alexis is a New Yorker, born and raised. As a teen he was a hoodlum, slinging drugs and running with his crew. He was arrested after burning down the house of a rival gang member, nearly killing them. His time in juvie changed him; after being released on early probation for good behavior, Alexis abandoned his gang and began working to better both his life and his neighborhood. Right out of high school, he achieved his dream of becoming a firefighter like his father. He loved the work; after studying fire sciences in high school, he was able to channel his pyromania into something good.

His was one of the first ladders to arrive on 9/11. On his way back down the south tower to help guide people part of the tower collapsed, crushing him after he pushed several people out of the way of falling debris. Alexis' legs suffered horrible damage, rendering him stuck to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He didn't let losing the use of his legs get to him, however; he became a local role model, talking to classes about his life and helping at-risk teens to turn their lives around like he did. He was working on entering politics when he got an offer from Tony Stark himself to join the TSA, which he jumped on. Figuratively, of course; being a paraplegic inhibits one's ability to jump.

Skill/Ability: Alexis received some medical training when becoming a firefighter; he had been expanding on this after being enrolled, in order to be of more use to his team. He is also a skilled public speaker. Speaks fluent Russian.

Personality: Alexis is upbeat, his positive attitude enough to be grating sometimes. He tries to make light of serious situations, most notably making jokes about being a paraplegic (I would hug you if my head wasn't always at crotch level.)

Relationship: None.

Other: Alexis hate pineapples with a fiery passion, no pun intended. He also hates puns.
