CHAPTER 1: THE XANATOS GAMBIT

Calvin was not absolutely positive what had set him on this path. Was it that time he got chased by a dog when he was three? No, no, that wasn't it. When Mr.Matthews failed him in math class? Perhaps? Calvin had swung by there a few months ago and incinerated him with his trusty particle beam. Man, the look on those kid's faces was hilarious! And those stupid heroes chalked it up to the Mobius Club! Calvin wasn't even part of the Mobius Club. Back then, anyway. Well, technically, Calvin wasn't part of The Mobius Club. Xanatos was.

Calvin liked being Xanatos. It was even a cool name. Kids like 'X's, right? Not that anyone really knew who he was, yet. Oh, give it time. They'd know. Eventually. Especially once he finished laying out the details. The folks at the club were always so helpful. They even helped him improve his particle beam. Mmmmm, particle beams are nice. Calvin could just watch those faces melt all day. Oh! And then there was the matter of minions. Every successful member of the club had some minions. They went all-out! Robo-minions, thugs, and people with powers alike! They even helped him attach particle beams to the robots.

And then there was the matter of a plan. If there was one thing Xanatos was good at, it was plans. Xanatos Gambits, specifically. It was his humble opinion that you were a moron to not have a Xanatos gambit up your sleeve. It's where he got the name, after all. He wondered if the heroes would catch onto his cleverness, when he made his debut. Probably not. Those cape wearing buffoons trended towards the lower end of the IQ spectrum anyway. Nevertheless, he would swipe the heroes aside, and Archer City would become the great jewel of his Empire... Gambit Empire, maybe...? Xanatos Empire? Aw, hell. The details can be worked out later.

Amy Jones

@shagranoz

Accepted. Like the good(and non-sexual) version of Poison Ivy.

Skye Ryder

@KaiserElectric

Love the name, though, admittedly, it made me think her power would be superspeed. On that note, I wonder why there haven't been any speedster applications? Anyway, accepted.

Finished, please re-review. roleplayerguild.com/posts/3297995

@knighthawk

When I read you sheet, I spent a few minutes trying to find out how much C4 costs so see if your character could actually afford explosive arrows(not that I wouldn't have accepted you if he technically couldn't), so, I'm probably on the NSA watch list, now. But, yeah, spent some time doing that, read a little more... And realized all the arrows magically appear anyway. In conclusion, I'm an idiot. But, anywho, accepted.

Sparrow Wolfe

@Whitewind

I'm down for the Bone Zone. Welcome aboard, accepted.

I'm thinking about making a second character

@Weird Tales

I'd ask you to wait until the RP actually gets started before you do that...?

Anyway, I'm gonna start work on the IC, now.

<Snipped quote by DocTachyon>

Perhaps that's just his way of saying "Are we gonna do this or what?"

You don't need to post often, honestly. We just need the GM (you) to get us started. We're ready and waiting to go! This is isabel good problem to have, it means people are interested in this RP.

@TheWinchester4

I'll get the IC started up tomorrow.

@DocTachyon

Nerfed him. As for alignment, consider him Hero. If anybody as any ideas to improve my character, I'm open to them.

@Nightknight

Alright, accepted!

@DocTachyonalright, 3rd times the charm

@Amelian Draco

Accepted.

this looks dead

@Weird Tales

Look, dude, you've been a pessimist this whole time, since the interest check. Just because I don't post as often as some of you doesn't mean it's dead.

Spectacular!- A Superhero RP

It would be easier to have something on the CS like "alignment", no?

@Defacto

Yes, that is a good idea. Adding it. Those already accepted don't have to add it, though.

Spectacular!- A Superhero RP

Terribly sorry for the lateness of my post. And I do realize it says I've been on the thread this whole time. I think I may've left my Ipad open to this thread. Also, I'm reading from the last page up so... Everything will be in backwards order from when it was posted.

I still haven't got my character looked back on after some edits I made.

@Nightknight

Still quite a bit powerful, and you're gonna want a bigger personality and biography sections if you want to approach that power level. I'd recommend cutting his strength down some, perhaps make him a tad shorter(25 ft? 20?), make his silver scales resistant to bullets/lasers, but not entirely immune to them, and cut down his endurance, too. Even then you could probably afford to add to his personality and history. The bigger and better those sections are, the more comfortable I am with letting people have powerful characters.

Just out of curiosity, how many others are we waiting on before we begin?

@Poke

When the character applications start to slow down a bit more and/or when we hit 6-7 accepts. Though, even when the RP starts, I'm planning to keep applications open pretty much forever, unless you guys otherwise object. Also, I still need to post some information about some villains and heroes that are notable in the OP, and I'm considering a character of my own.

Kennith Archibald Archer

@knighthawk

Assuming this is WIP?

A Hathoway

@MonkeyBusiness

Accepted! To the characters tab, with ye.

@DocTachyon I edited my CS and defined Simon's weaknesses a bit more to show the extent of his powers and added a more in depth description of his candy mimicry ability

@Weird Tales

You're good to go, accepted.

@DocTachyonedited it, how dose that look

@Amelian Draco

Just add a couple more sentences to personality. Also, how strong is the lightning? Can he, like, blow up a car in one shot? Less powerful than that? More?

I edited my CS, and updated the broken pics.
Let me know Thanks.

@Pumpkinlord

If I'm going to allow you the power level you're at now, I'd like to see a high-casual sheet for something like this(and even then, I dunno if I can allow being bulletproof.)

Otherwise, axe the adamantium claws and go for something more earth-metal(you can make it cut through a lot, but I dunno about adamantium. And, inf addition to all of his other abilities, I don't think Spiderman level dexterity is appropriate. I mean, Spiderman can dodge bullets pretty casually. And like I said before, I don't think being bulletproof will fly, sorry.

Spectacular!- A Superhero RP

@DocTachyon candy mimicry is so that he can change his body to match those of candy for offensive and defensive purposes

@Weird Tales

I mean, I guess I could see an advantage if you were trying to strech or be much lighter or something. But don't say something like "I copied the effects of peppermint, so I'm now immune to bullets" and we should be good on that front.

Spectacular!- A Superhero RP

@DocTachyon: What are you aiming for me adding? It's just that she has an image, so I'm trying to figure out what else to describe in her appearance aside from height. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

You could go into more detail about some acessory she has or something?
ex. "Her necklace is made frim a rare element, Awesomeomium."
