@Spud

We are about ready to start Season 2. We are just waiting on a few people to wrap up the Avengers story arc.

True, but define a what makes a Superhero? Everyone has a different definition, view, and expectation of what makes a superhero or are require to have to be classified as one. The only way you could do that is by defining what makes a superhero in this rp and make every CS fit that.

Ben is an example of that type of hero that might not fit the mold of what you might consider a superhero. Especially with what I'm going to do with his story later down the road and such.

@Fallenreaper

I agree with what NMS and NN have said. Having large monsters roaming around in a setting that is, with some exceptions, much like out own world not make much sense because it would not mirror our own reality. Sure, you could try to make an argument against superhumans, but in this roleplay, the awareness of superhumans have only been a recent one. Therefore, it is an "what if" scenario asking the question about how the world would be like if superhumans existed.

Oh. That doesn't apply to Ded does it? I mean. No. I think I'll just go.

@VATROU

What?

@Inuyasha

You could always pre-write a few posts for S2.

@Gowi

I like Gowi's idea.

Also, Avengers. What's happening?

Question: Is The Hub still a thing? I haven't seen it mentioned except in old posts and I wondered if something might have happened there to have it shut down or something.

@fdeviant

Still a thing. Icon just has been busy with Umbraxis and the current event. ;)

@Blue Demon: I'll take a look at it as soon as possible. I was just a little busy the past couple days.

I think the main issue with Dragons may be because, they're Dragons. I mean how do you ignore a giant lizard flying around that can turn cities into dust.

@Nightknight I'd play around with the idea more, get NMS and Ded involved in the process. I think if your Dragon wasn't super powerful all the time and had to follow similar Rules as the Greek Gods do, then maybe he would be accepted. If his power is limited or if he couldn't act in his more powerful Dragon form and had to rely on a weaker human guise. I'm just tossing around ideas.

If Dragons are super powerful and wholly iconic as Dragons. Then making them appear less could get then accepted.

@VATROU

Part of the problem is that this is first and foremost a superhero roleplay, not general fantasy one. Sure, magic and fantasy elements might appear in Marvel and DC comics, but they are not the most important part of these two universes. In my own opinion (I cannot speak for the other GMs), these fantasy elements should not exist naturally on this Earth or have long since faded away. They should be regulated to their own corner outside of Earth (cf. the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode where the Red Skull was pulling monsters out of the other Asgardian realms).

It does not make sense for a large dragon to appear in this world, which for the most part should be devoid of these types of creatures.

@nitemare shape @Dedonus @Hound55

On the topic of CS I just want to make a quick note about an add on, under Odette's skills and powers I'll be adding on the languages she can speak and read fluently.

Namely French (natively), English, and Common Fey.

@DearTrickster

That is fine.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

Rain drops splattered against the glass windows on the triangular roof of warehouse that was located within the turf controlled by Silvermane. A figure, shrouded by both the darkness of the night and the torrents of rain, climbed up the side of the building and sneaked up to these windows. This thief placed a device that almost seemed like a mathematical compass. After turning the knob on the device until there was a click, the robber pulled off the equipment off the window, resulting in a cleanly cut hole that could allow a single person to comfortably fit through it. Once a line of rope was firmly attached to the roof, the masked figure descended into the dark warehouse.

Crates filled the room. It was no secret that SIlvermane was not getting any younger as each day passed. Therefore, the leader of one of the Maggia crime families had used his ill-gotten fortune to find some means of extending his life, if not even to make him immortal. Herbert Landon’s research was one attempt to achieve this ever-youthfulness. However, due to the intervention of Spider-Man and the X-Men, along with Landon’s ulterior against mutants, this opportunity dried up before Silvermane could reap any rewards from it. However, this Maggia crime lord was not stupid enough to keep all his eggs in one basket. This warehouse, along with others spaced out within his criminal territory, housed other possible alternatives.

After carefully searching the room for a few minutes, the figure finally found the crate that he, or she, was looking for. Taking a crowbar, the thief pulled open the top off the wooden crate, which created an echoing crackle. However, since there were not any personnel around at this time of night, no one could hear the noise. Even if someone did hear what the robber was doing, that guard would have arrived too late in that room to do any good.

From the bottom of the crate, the figure pulled out an orange and yellow, egg-shaped gem that almost fit perfectly in the palm of the thief’s hand. After stashing the valuable item inside a small, protective bag, the thief returned to the robe which was used to safely land on the floor of the warehouse. Once the robber was back on the roof of the building, this individual pulled out a small handheld communication device.

“Professor, I have retrieved the stone.” The thief spoke into the device with a feminine voice, “I will return to base as soon as possible.”

In a Hospital Elsewhere

Herbert Landon laid in his hospital bed. Half of his body, which was mutated by the chemical that he had designed to destroy mutants, was covered with bandages. Due to the experimental nature of these chemicals, the doctors were at lost for how they could help this man of business and science. All they could do was ease the pain and allow his ‘injured’ side to heal.

However, his body was not the only part of Landon that was hurting. His ego was, too. After his accident and the incident involving it, Roxxon, in an attempt to distance themselves from this mess, discontinued Landon’s research and fired him. His credentials as both a scientist and a businessman were ruined in one fell swoop. Scarred beyond repair, Landon had lost all of his dreams in a single day.

Landon heard the click of his hospital room’s door. Peering over, he saw a man wearing a white, doctor’s coat, who had messy brown hair and a mustache.

“I thought you doctors did not have any clue on how to cure.” Landon, as he rolled over away from the man, chided the him, assuming that he was just another doctor who was attempting to help him.

“I’m not that type of doctor.” The man responded to the injured and mutated man. “I have a proposition for you, Mr. Landon.”

“And who are you?”

“My name is Doctor Miles Warren. Specialty, genetics. I have formed a little, well, social circle of like-minded scientists and bright minds.” Miles Warren pulled out a small business card that had ‘Intelligencia’ printed on its front, flashed the card in front of Landon, and then placed it on the side table next to Landon’s bed. “It’s a little group where we collaboration with one another so that we can reach achievements that none of us could have ever imagined doing alone.”

Miles Warren then turned to leave. However, before he exited the hospital room, he turned back towards Landon to get one last word in. “Why don’t you consider this offer while you get better. Then, once you’re out of here, just let me know if you’re in.”

Please Red

Spider-Man will return in Season 2

Anyone older than thirty who holds a respectable position or long held job, or is successful. Two of which King Arthur is a good candidate for.

@VATROU

If that is the rule, then I think Iron Knight is the only "adult" in the room.

Edit: Sorry, Hound. Forgot Vigilante again. He has time traveled so much, I wouldn't know where to start. lol.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Sudden realization that the heroes are wee teens. Certainly capabale but they're so young. Poor Icon, dealing with the apparent difference in maturity levels is bound to be hella frustrating.

@DearTrickster

I won't say they're all "wee teens". Also, before I continue, I will give a warning that the ages of characters that I do not own may not be accurate. Iron Knight is in his early-30's. War-Pulse is definitely an adult (he chooses when he wants to act like one). Thunderbolt and Boom are probably in their mid-20's. Not sure about Radiance's age, but she is definitely not a teenager. Same goes for the White Witch. Arachne will have graduated from college in season 2. Raptor (et al.) and Lyger are still in college, but they are upperclassmen (I think that is true for Lyger).

So Eva is the only "teen". And since she is 16/17 (I think), she would probably still be in high school or entering freshman year in college, if she had not dropped out.

Eva does have a Guardian in the form of a really old Ghost.. So. There's at least two adults in the meeting.. *Intentionally does not include Iron Knight*

@VATROU

Iron Knight is probably the oldest human there. Also, the box awaits you... ;)

Iron Knight: "Icon, I want to see you say 'Doctor Diplodoc' over and over again and tell me that you did not feel awkward saying that name."



Anyways, good post. I'll see what I can do tonight/tomorrow about a post.
