Sadly I haven't, I'm not too big on comics as I am the other media they spawn.
I think the only non-japanese comic I've ever followed is Umbrella Academy, and I still need to read Dallas.

*looks around and twiddles foot*

Yes, I'm that big of a fanboy for those of you whom haven't noticed a theme with me yet >.>;

@FrozenEcstasy

I don't blame you mate. Watch Comicstorian or Comics Explained to catch up on comics. Or Linkara if you wanna see really bad comics get grilled like Millers stuff.

I'm serious Miller turned batman into a homicidal maniac that loves to mentally torture robin. Its messed up.

Note me saying "Alternate Timeline" Batmans. The DC Universe is full of various multi-verses and characters like Batman have several doubles, even Batmen that seem like the Original Batman we all know and love, but are actually an alternate version.

The "original" batman has always been Neutral Good, neither lawful nor chaotic.

@FrozenEcstasy

True, very true. But what I'm saying is, did you read miller's stuff at all?

He made batman out to be a nutjob. Like, seriously go watch Linkara's stuff on him. xD

Batman has always been Neutral Good, unless you talk about alternate-timeline Batmans.

And the Alignments aren't really as outdated as they are misunderstood. Good does not mean good and evil does not mean evil in their case. Kind of complicated in their theory, it's best not talk about them and just make sure our characters don't all act like crazy heathens.

@FrozenEcstasy

Have you read Batman stuff made by Miller? Thats where Batman gets the more evil sides from. xD. If you don't wanna read them, I think Linkara or Comicstorian or Comics Explained goes over how psycho he is pretty well.

@Archmage MC If Intel wanted Alliances it's best to just give them.

@Gilgex

True I did. I'm just saying they're not as good as they were a few years back is all xD. They need a serious update. Batman has been through all 9 over the years depending on the writer, which is hilarious if you think about it.

@FrozenEcstasy Not everyone is going to play their characters the exact same way. SO in short does it really matter?

@Gilgex

This. Light for example is Chaotic Neutral, but shes only that because thats her personality type. Shes still going to be very nice and friendly towards everyone and try to make everyone be friends with everyone else. I dunno what everyone else is doing, but I think thats a pretty good difference, no?

I'm honestly not a fan of the 9 degrees of allegance. They're too vague themselves to be useful. Lawful Evil for example can easily also be good, while Lawful Good can easily be evil, but fit into their respective catagories due to the tropes they follow.

Dragon Ball Z: The Summoned Sagas

crap man, doing all those colors must've been painful.

Dragon Ball Z: The Summoned Sagas

Light

The green guy, Piccolo they called him, seemed to be the leader of the small group. Well, the people who seemed to flock around him though. One being a short bald dwarf, and the other was a kid from the looks of him. There were also a couple other people, both of them sayans!. With her included they could start a circus! But now wasn't the time for that as she was going to explain why she was there to Piccolo to put him at ease, the sayans who blew her up and that city descended.

They all chatted, Light listening to them but not giving them much concern. It took them awhile to comment about her and how they blew her up, but seemed to give it no mind, the strongest of the group actually looking concerned for a moment.

After more talking, one of the sayans revealing the origins of piccolo which Light wasn't too concerned about, after all, you are who you are, not what your told you are. They started to talk about Cybermen. The big bald one who had blown up the city then started to plant some goop, which turned into green things that started to scuttle around like bugs.

Piccolo commenting that everyone would have to take 4 of them and asking Light if she would help, Light said. "Of course! those guys blew me and a good city up. Gotta make them pay a little." and with that said, she got into a ready stance to take on her cybermen. She wouldn't turn any of them into candy or anything, best to save that move for the big guys.

Guardians: Next Wave [A Science Fiction Superhero Roleplay!] [ACCEPTING!]

I advise starting a regular PM with your Co-GM (if you haven't already) and brainstorming some ideas. :) See where things take you. And then, don't get frustrated. I've published books, and let me tell you, you can't give up when things don't go your way. Work around it, and you'll be surprised!

I have faith that you can do this, Chao :) We all do.

@Morose

you published books? Thats neat. I'm not good enough or consistant enough with my writing to start that xD. I'm still trying to find my groove. I'm starting to move into trying to have more of a Terry Pratchet groove I think, but I don't know how close I am to that.

And yeah Chao, cheer up and be upbeat and things go far. I've seen a few buddies of mine take over a topic when the GM abandoned it and kept it going for double its original lifespan or more just by being upbeat.

Yeah we're all working things out and such. Night.

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>

Well. I think there may be some confusion here. Deadpool and your character Light, are not nearly the same thing. Deadpool is a serious character with a personality that is comedic and silly. Light on the other hand, is a character who turns a concept of cartoons and children's television into an actual power. From what I understand, Light isn't comedic, her powers are. I think thats the main difference. But comedic powers wouldn't be a big deal unless of course, as is the case with light, they are completely unhindered and based on the character sheet alone, seem as though they do not fit the tone or the setting of the roleplay.

I don't think the issue is about you bringing a comedic character into fold. Its encouraged. We need diversity. However, your CHARACTER should be comedic, not necessarily her skillset. And if her skillset is comedic then, you definitely should tone down what she can do. But again, I'm not particularly for the idea, but I won't tarnish it either without giving it a chance. I think if she is a serious character, not in personality, but in realism in relation to the story, it shouldn't be so bad. But I really do advise that you tone down alot of her toon powers and make her more attainable, as in, less godlike. Immortality is one thing, but when she is immortal and can do B-Z, it can be a bit much.

But Intel is boss, so he will give you his rundown of what he thinks. I'm just trying to help you at least come to a compromise with everyone else here. It'd be a shame to see something that could potentially be left out because you aren't willing to make any changes. Sometimes changes need to be made. I've had to make my fair share for characters I thought were wonderful as is, but needed to be toned back to keep in touch with the reality that is trying to be established for the RP. It's all about balance. :)

@Angel Eyes

Well I'd like to know what changes she'd need then. I even told intel I was fine if she needed more rebalancing. Toonforce is a very poorly documented powerset. (I think I said that in the ooc actually) but yeah, I'm not sure thats the problem either. I think they just have a fear of comedic characters. I know, you, Pundii, Morose, and Chicken have no problems with her. Its just those two.

I appreciate what you and Pundii are trying to do.

If they're problem is powerset origin, thats all they gotta say and I can explain that better.

Also, intel, how would we talk this all out in PMs without letting you know the problem and help fix it? I'm curious as to how that could work, as if there is a way, it would be great to do to releave stress all around.
