The Heroes of Beacon - The Next Chapter!

[Lady Seraphina]

I have scoured the internet looking for anything that might make a good theme for my character but I could find nothing, the closed I came to was Loki...the I realized that it was the Marvel version I was looking at. Does anyone have any suggestions.

LokiLeo789

The Marvel version of Loki wasn't actually that far off from the myth. Try looking at the Norse Mythology version of Loki, aside from having super powered fights on earth with the Avengers Marvel Loki isn't that different from Norse Loki.

Also, hugs. All the furry tiger-boy hugs.

Can't stand furry hugs, death to tigers.

Does anyone have any suggestions. And are there any open teams that want my character? I feel like he would be an Assassin.

LokiLeo789

I'm not sure what you intend to do with him, so I merely looked up act of betrayal in regards to what I found in his personality. So, uh, he may not have much of a background or build, but Pelops seems like a good candidate. It gives you a lot of things to build off from if you so choose, but you must remember that it's simply a theme and whatever you do with your character shouldn't necessarily be hard rooted in the story of another. Just alluded to. But, his story centers around Tantalus, in that he was the son that the king had chopped up and attempted to feed to the gods for who the hell knows why. He was found out and Pelops was reassembled (with a new shoulder, since Demeter absentmindedly ate his in her grief over Persephone). Uh, he was taken in by Poseidon, but then thrown off Olympus because Zeus is an asshole and was still mad at Tantalus. Lol. *Shrug* If anything, maybe look for any tales of the fae in Celtic mythology or any African tales that would fit what you had envisioned for your dude.

[quote=harinezumikouken] Thanks guys, I will look into it again and then see what I need to do.

[Lugubrious]

Say, once I get accept if I get accepted which team should Gray, Penumbra, and Umbra join up with? Also, just took a look at the document and i'm now pondering on which combinations Gray is, because technically he is a Hybrid no matter how you look at it, and i'm finding a hard time determining which two Hybrid types he is along with his other two personalities. I mean, he literally fits almost everything depending on what weapon type he is currently using.

Savo

I will accept him if you explain to me how being able to do pretty much everything doesn't make him overpowered. As for fitting into a single roll, it's not what he can do, it's what he likes to do, and does best. Shiro was three classes before Hari decided that he was the better Warrior.

[paigesweetheart]

When is this gonna start lol

[Lugubrious]

As I look at the stats on the document, I see 10 warriors as the most populous, 8 gunslingers and assassins tied for second, and a measly 2 supports. And one of those is an NPC.

When is this gonna start lol

paigesweetheart

Soon. Unfortunately this sort of organization takes a while. I've postponed it to Tuesday afternoon and I'm not inclined to do so again, so by all means that should be the day.

[shadowkiller912]

Any critique for Seilber?

By the way quick note, I decided to rename Mayumi to "Sarina Tala Dei." Changed it after finding the new appearance of her. I did not feel the old first name being right with the new pic. Also what team would be available for Sarina?

shadowkiller912

Consult document please.

Lugubrious

I did not even know we had one. Anyway after looking at the characters on team F and e, I'm leaning towards team F right now. I lke the current roster on it right now. By the way Lugu, are their any rules I need to know about editing the documents?

Nope. Just pick a color and introduce yourself in the comment section so that we know what you're up to when you add stuff or move it around.

Remember the one health bar thing, along with the squishiness of the two clones? If you manage to get a hit on one of them, it will do a lot more damage than smacking the actual tank. Ex: Let me say he has 10/10 hp. If you hit Gray, it deals like 1 damage to him. However hit Umbra or Penumbra and it does lets say 3 damage. Defeating them will also sort of defeat Gray, however you can't keep hitting the clones, expecting Gray to be defeated. You have to hit Gray to down him once he is on his last legs. And remember, Umbra can become cocky as hell which forces Penumbra to get his head straight. This can endanger the two of them which may cause him to be defeated. Also, to top that off, he needs to conserve his dust. He can't perform most of his interesting abilities without dust and seeing as there are three Grays, he can chew up dust rather quickly. Lets say Umbra uses up all of the fire and ice dust, bam the other two can't use fire and ice. Lets say he reloads using a dust thingy. The weapons are reloaded, however they all lose the same dust amount. This not only could screw him over in battle but leave a huge dent in his paycheck. Also, if you take away his weapon, he can't perform his semblence properly. The clones and him won't get the boost unless all three of them are out, and the only way they can all be out at the same time is if he has a weapon that can transform into three specific things. His weapon works like his personality and his disorder. They're all the Sam person, yet they are not. I can tell you a couple of more things if you wish about them, and how he isn't too overpowered if these aren't enough.

But he can still provide some Tanking and Support, just primarily a Warrior/Combative type.

A sembalance is an innate ability specific and unique to a certain person. There is no reason its ability to be used should be halted by the user lacking a weapon. And I don't think the sembalance was what Lug was worried about I think it was the fact that you said your character could wield basically any weapon.

She's going to gut him if he tries.

Prince of Seraphs

Well, on one hand it is entirely possible for a semblance to be diminished without a weapon. Abel's Surge is really only effective on hyperconductive objects, like the Ampere, so in order to do anything but shock people he touches he needs to wield his weapon. I was worried, not necessarily about his weapon or semblance, but about how he can perform any role needed. I'm going to accept your character Savo, but when you place him on a team, try to limit him to no more than two roles.

[Sho Minazuki]

So what'd I miss?

[Agent B52]

My team plots to kill me make me a hero and confusion about who used which tank. Also discussion on the mythical origins of our characters. I kind of feel bad that my guy isn't loosely based on anyone other than (very) loosely off of Hephaistos.

I can easily make that happen. Tbh Dust equates to magic in this world and each Gray uses Dust. It can be from range to close combat depending on which Gray it is so I have one of my roles figured out. The next role is the one I got from adding up a Tank and Assassin. Where do a find middle ground? Warrior. And there are the two roles I can have him perform while working together. Hybrid - Warrior/Mage. Now which teams are available...

[Agent B52]

Oh and yes, ^ powerlevel discussion about a character. Cannot forget that. I'm staying well clear of that for now.

[Sho Minazuki]

Jack's role is obviously assassin and duelist.

Agent B52

Roll with that Trope! It does have quite a lot of potential! For example, maybe something happens to Marcus that could make him lame/paralysed? That could be a pretty solid storyline!

[Agent B52]

That... could work. Most of his combat potential isn't dependent on his fitness. Perhaps start off with an arc where he starts to show potential as a hunter and possibly reconcile with his family. Then BAM, suddenly an injury paralyses him from the waist down or he loses a leg or something. I prefer dismemberment but I'll see what happens IC. This is actually a situation his family's okay with because scars earned in battle are proud ones etc. They suddenly switch to being warm and coddling albeit still with a condescending overtone. After a heart to heart talk with his team or something he comes to realise he can still do a lot of good on the front lines because hey with his semblance the footpedals are redundant (as are pretty much most manual controls, he originally designed Unsubtle for people without a semblance). That means he has the world's most lethal wheelchair and why not put that to good use? So he gives his family the proverbial finger and gets back in the saddle. Preferably just in time to play cavalry, let Aurellius surf Unsubtle into battle for a glorious Big Damn Heroes moment.
