Technically, if she got the most common superpower at some point, wouldn't that mean that she's had two instances of becoming a metahuman? I'd say that that's a pretty accurate correlation, albeit beyond that I doubt there's much more of a connection.

@Space Communist

Well, the sequence went like this:

1) Gained Spider-Man-like powers from the serum that gave Raptor and Wasp their powers.
2) Figure transformed several times by the leader of a trafficking ring (same powers that gave Sammy her powers - Raptor's Sammy, not Lyger's Sam. Confusing, I know!).
3) Changed back to normal by same ring leader. However, healing factor got super confused because it was also trying to revert Aubrey back to normal. This confusion caused her healing factor to randomize whatever it had not changed (harmonizing it so that she wouldn't look like a Frankenstein monster), which resulted in her current physique (minus drider part).
4) Independently, her powers progressed so that transformed into a drider (spider-centaur). Kind of expected since when she gained her powers, she really swapped powers with a villainess who was (and has recently returned to being) a drider.

Also, her tits are f***ing huge

@Space Communist

Boobs are totally a superpower. They can mesmerize anyone, and I mean anyone. I think Arachne should utilize hers more.

@VATROU

Arachne: "Where the heck did that come from? I know that many of the nerds in this roleplay have been making such a big deal about my *cough* problem, but what the heck? You know what. I had it. I'm leaving. Icon, I'm sorry, but you're on your own against Ares. Sorry about that. *begins to leave*

Dedonus: *wraps arms around one of her legs. Is being dragged across the floor* "Please don't go! I'm begging you!"

Arachne: "Fine! But be warned. If I hear anything more about you know what, head will roll."

Be careful, we all know how genetic manipulation tends to backfire. Or cause insanity. Or Busty Driders.

@VATROU

Just to make a clarification. There is no correlation between Arachne becoming a metahuman and her receiving the most common superpower among superheroines. Those were different occurrences. ;) All of my other "monster girls" are realistically proportioned (as far as monster girls go, since most people don't have insect wings, cat ears, or snake tails ).

.... I need to quite finding RPs that end up jumping ship, or least jump ship to the same site!

@Fallenreaper

Don't fear. We are going nowhere. We just want to put that out there as a "just in case"/"worse case scenario" option so that if something ever does happen to this website (although I don't think anything will), we all know where to go. It's like fire drills back in high school (or middle school) where we all have a designated area to go in case of fire.

You might want to change "MCU" unless you mean the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just an FYI.

If this site were to go away tomorrow, I do have another site to go to. But I don't think that will be an issue

@nitemare shape

Well, if you don't mind sharing that site with the class, I'd be willing to continue somewhere else should everything fall apart.

@NeutralNexus

Unless I am thinking of something else, NMS is talking about the SuperHeroHype RPG forums, where this game began. But I could be wrong (but I think I am right. ).

RPGC #5 -- FEAR

The problem with the Bonus Challenges, and the reason I discontinued them, was because ultimately they had absolutely nothing to do with how good a written entry was. Your chances of winning any of those was down to pure happenstance. It did not encourage anybody to write in a specific way and it did not reward anybody who tried to experiment or think outside the box except for those who happened to think of the same arbitrary stuff I did (and only three of those categories happened to be stumbled across).

In essence, the Secret Bonus Categories were no better than lottery tickets (in this awful analogy, each submission counted as buying one).

The Riddles are a bit better (except for @mdk's, which is laughable (Hi @mdk!)) since at least it's somewhat cerebral and presents a challenge for people to work out. But I would argue that they are altogether less engaging than the regular bonus categories were for basically the same reason the Secret Bonus Challenges were not engaging. Case in point: Calling it now that at least one person is going to solve a riddle without even trying to.

@Terminal

I agree with Terminal here. I don't know if I'm warping his opinion, but the challenge bonuses this time around reward people for solving a riddle instead of the actual entry. Yes, of course you need to incorporate that "fear" into the entry, but if you break it down to the fundamental nature of this "bonus category", it really has nothing to do with how well your entry was written. Honestly, I feel that it is a deterrent to trying a bonus category this time around. While I do have guesses for "Glory", "Nyx", and "A Children's Fear" (I think it would sound better as A Fear of Children. Having an indefinite article before a plural noun sounds very dissonant to me), I honestly will not go for them because I don't want to cram them into a story so that that it feels artificial and awkward. I probably will only enter for "A Children's Fear" not because I know the answer, but only because what I think the answer is happens to match what I wanted to write in the first place.

Let me put it in a different way. For the old bonus categories, I felt that they were like a compensatory reward that you could aim for if your entry did not happen to win. I could choose one (or more) category and know that going in I had a chance to win one of these bonus categories, even if I don't win the "popular" vote. Also, I felt that the old bonus categories gave another challenge that you had to incorporate different ideas into your story. While the same does apply to the bonus category for this round, people who win the bonus challenge are actually being rewarded for surmounting an additional obstacle, namely solving a riddle. You cannot even try to compete for the bonus challenge useless you solve the riddle correctly. It is basically rewarding people for a skill that has nothing or little to do with a writing contest.

The Age of Nations

@Dedonus,

The GM wrote that you aquired your ships through raids. Considering 1 of them is described as a Nehalenian First rate my nation might want it back ;)

@Milkman

I'll wait until the New World map is updated before I say anything. ;)

Yeah sure thing! I'll be in the TitanPad momentarily!

Also @dedonus i'll be around if you want to work on Amazing Friends!

@Natty

I started on the collaboration, but I would like to write a little more before you jump in. :)

The Age of Nations

Nation Name: The Queendom of Amazonia
Brief Nation History:
Little is know about the history of the Amazons prior to the arrival of Old Worlders in the Western Sides. Those peoples indigenous to the Western Sides do tell of the Amazons originated from a people who arrived from across the sea centuries ago, whom the natives call the the Asgaya-dihi, or 'the man-killers'. It is rather unclear whether this actually means that the ancestors of the Amazons were actually originally from the Old World or that they came from elsewhere from the Western Sides. Some claim that the former is true because of the Amazons' greater resistance to Old World diseases, the uncanny familiarity of their language and religion, and their physical appearance seems more of a mixture between those of the Old World and the Western sides. However, detractors of this theory point out that the relative lack of Old World interaction with the Amazons could also explain the low rate of infection in the Amazon populations, while their 'Old Worldness' could be explained by their tradition of kidnapping women from neighboring communities (which as of recently have included Old World settlements).

The majority of the Amazon population lives along the Thermodon River, which begins at its source in the Luthoan Mountains in the South and flows northward until it empties out into the Bay of Myrine. The largest city (which also serves as the capital) in Amazonia is Themiscyra. Amazonia itself is actually divided into four tribal associations, or Phyla, each governing over a separate section of Amazonia and having their own leaders. The four groups are the Phyla Sogila, the Phyla Tsytla , the Phyla Adylisa, and the Phyla Daksa. However, each Phyla admits subordinate to a single queen (basilea), whom is drawn from one of the four Phyla. Whenever a heir to the thrown is unable to be found for whatsoever reason, the elders of the four Phyla assembles a council where they select a new bloodline to wield the royal power. The current dynasty of queens have been drawn from Phyla Daksa for the last several generations.

While Amazonia is a matriarchal society and the majority (although not the entirety) of its slave population is male, the male 'Amazon' population is not considered to be inferior to the womenfolk, but they rather have a position of equality. Although there is definitely a division of labor in regard to gender roles, military service is not one of them, which allows Amazonia to muster forces that are slightly larger than a population of similar size. One ritual that the Amazons hold dear is their annual raids upon their neighbors. In these raids, a band of young women are sent out to a neighboring village. Besides material plunder, the Amazons kidnap young women, whom are assimilated into Amazonian society, and young men, who are placed into slavery. Once the Old Worlders started to make settlements within the traditional Amazon "hunting grounds", the Amazons eventually raided these communities too. These incidents have caused negative relations between the Amazons and the Old Worlders.

However, the most significant event in Amazonian history was the introduction of horses to the Western Sides. Almost immediately the Amazons adopted horsemanship into their culture, both militarily and domestically. In combination with their finesse at archery, the introduction of cavalry into the Amazon military culture generated one of the most feared weapons on the northern portion of the Western Sides. Although the Amazons have been importing firearms for both military and domestic uses, the trade of these items are at such a small scale that the majority of the Amazonian fighting forces would not be wielding them.
