Injustice: Clash Between Worlds

Kurt Halner
Kurt and Spiderbolt had been at the doctor's for quite some time already, they had arrived almost immediately after the fight with the dark-goblin and, after a rather large amount of money changed hands, Spiderbolt was placed, on an operating table and the doctor looked at him and grunted. A few hours later the doctor came out of his operating room, a room off to one side of his small apartment, and looked at Kurt. "Whoever this guy is, he's lucky. None of those arrows pierced anything vital, i got them all out and your friend there should be alright once the wounds heal up."

Kurt nodded to the doctor and walked into the room where Spiderbolt was now recovering on an old hospital bed wearing nothing but a paper hospital gown and his mask, his costume folded up neatly on a chair nearby. Looks like the old man kept his promise to not take off the mask. All that was left to do now was wait for the anesthesia to wear off, as he waited Kurt chatted idly with the doctor about heists he had pulled off and the new things he had acquired through rather nefarious means. He knew the doc wouldn't go to anyone with the information, he was the most tight-lipped man in the city, after all, if criminals knew he would blab about who came to his practice and why he'd be out of business and probably dead before sunrise.

Hank McCoy
Hank growled as he stood back up he began walking toward Feraliss and Tyrian. The wolf had gotten in his way, he would kill it too. Hank stopped when he suddenly found himself in a stone cage which molded into a cube and became clear. Diamond. Hank growled, in his feral state he didn't know what this was but he didn't like it and began beating on the walls with his fists, trying to break down whatever was blocking his path. He continued like this for quite some time until he collapsed from exhaustion, his hands swollen and bloody from the attempted escape.

Rescue on LP-301a

Ten years ago earth's first colony in another star system was attacked. The message was cut short before we could learn who, or what, was attacking our colony. All we know is that whatever happened it was bad enough that they had tried to evacuate the colony for one of their advanced scouting camps. We don't know if they succeeded but your mission is to find out and potentially evacuate the colony if need be. You will be put into cryosleep for the duration of the ship and woken up when it arrives in orbit around the planet, LP-301a, in ten years.

Brief History

2034
Humans discover faster than light travel and begin scanning the stars using a dozen orbital long-range telescopes looking for a planet that would be suitable for human life.

2061
Humans discover a suitable planet, named LP-301a, a desert planet with an earth-like atmosphere and liquid water. The nations of the world begin collaborating on the construction of a colony ship named SEED.

2065
Construction of SEED is complete and the world's governments begin recruiting nearly one billion people to travel on board SEED in cryogenic chambers and become the first colonists of LP-301a.

2068
Recruitment and training is complete, SEED is fully operational and is sent on its way to LP-301a.

2078
SEED arrives at LP-301a and touches down, the colonists are awoken from their chambers and the very first human colony in another solar system is established without a hitch.

2079-2129
SEED is operating as expected, the colonists have formed a functioning government on LP-301a and are checking in with earth semi-annually as directed. They have explored most of the planet during this 50 year period they have established several cities and towns all across the planet and begun mining operations to supply their own metals.

2135
Earth receives an emergency transmission from LP-301a that they are under attack, by what is unknown because the transmission was cut short. Earth's governments have decided to pool their resources and send a team to investigate the planet. The nations of earth build a long range vessel named the Lacrosse that will be sent to LP-301a with a small crew to investigate the source of the attack.

2145
The Lacrosse arrives in orbit around LP-301a.

LP-301a

LP-301a is an arid planet orbiting a class G star (the same class as our sun). This star has only two other bodies orbiting it, both are uninhabitable gas giants. LP-301a's surface is primarily sand dunes. There is a salt water ocean on LP-301a, though it is smaller than anything seen on earth. This ocean covers approximately 9% of the planets surface.

Sand Dunes: 74%
Mountains: 10% (not all mountains reach high altitude)
Ocean: 9%
Salt Flats: 5%
Jungle: 6% (only exists surrounding fresh water oases)
Tundra: 1% (only exists at high altitude)

Notable Fauna

Name: Lizard-dog
Description: a large quadrupedal reptile that lives in both desert and jungle environments. They have brown or dark green scaly hides and stand about 3-4 feet tall and are 5-6 feet long (not including a 4 foot tail). They have long legs with three flexible, clawed fingers on the ends (but no opposable thumbs) that are used to fight or climb trees.
Defence: Claws, Teeth, Powerful tails that have been known to break human bones on impact.
Behaviour: Lizard-dogs are not aggressive unless provoked. They will warn you when they are about to attack by howling, screeching and slamming their tail into the ground. They travel in loose packs that gain and lose members frequently as they travel. They can be, and have been, domesticated in some cases as a food source or a method for keeping stinging ants away. They apparently make good pets as they are highly affectionate.
Diet: Stinging ants and Cutpurse apes
Other: They are immune to stinging ant venom.

Name: Burrow Beetle
Description: A large beetle-like creature with a dark shell that stands 1 foot tall, 3 feet long and 3 feet wide. They have six legs which are very flexible so that they can bury themselves in the sand or dirt and wait for their prey.
Defence: A thick chitin shell and razor sharp mandibles
Behaviour: These beetles, though somewhat smaller than other species prey on just about anything that moves and are extremely aggressive.
Diet: Lizard-dogs, cutpurse apes, strong-arm apes
Other: Their shell is so strong that it can stop most bullets. The only truly effective way to kill one is to cut off its head, step on it with a platform or blow it up with explosives.

Name: Stinging Ants
Description: small ant-like insects that only measure about 8 inches long. They have black, red or brown carapaces (the colour seems to denote a different colony) and have long antennae on their heads and have six legs which are used to dig.
Defence: Razor sharp mandibles, venom
Behaviour: Stinging ants are separated into multiple colonies based on colour, these colonies will dig complex tunnel systems in the dirt that they use as a hive. These hives are not permanent and are abandoned mere months after they are finished. When different colonies wander across another's hive they will invade it and try to kill the current residents. Researchers seem to think that the ants have evolved to dig hives in order to defend themselves against other colonies while simultaneously using them as a breeding ground to hatch their young and bolster their numbers, hence the extremely complex tunnels that often end in dead ends or loop around endlessly.
Diet: Burrow beetles, cutpurse apes, strong-arm apes
Other: Their venom is potent enough to kill a man with a single bit, the fact that they travel together makes them even more dangerous. The only effective way to survive an ant colony crossing your path is to entrench with flamethrowers or use lizard-dogs to chase them away.

Name: Cutpurse Apes
Description: A small simian species that walk on all fours but can stand on their hind legs and use their small hands to manipulate objects. When standing on their hind legs they are about 1 foot tall and have an extremely flexible 1 foot long tail. They have white or grey fur with slightly darker stripes.
Defence: None
Behaviour: Cutpurse apes are a communal species that live together, they tend to stick near the families of strong-arm apes in their local area and when a family of strong-arm apes dissolves and heads out into the jungle to find new homes cutpurse apes will often ride along on a chosen strong-arm ape and steal any food that ape doesn't eat.
Diet: Jungle fruit and meat (only during migration)
Other: They get the name cutpurse apes because they are incredibly curious and are not afraid of humans so they will often approach humans and take anything that isn't strapped down. Some people like to keep them as pets.

Name: Strong-arm Apes
Description: Large, fat looking apes with black fur and thick arms. They walk on all fours and their large upper bodies prevent them from standing on their hind legs.
Defence: Powerful arms that have been reported to be able to crush burrow beetle shells with repeated blows.
Behaviour: Strong-arm apes are communal creatures who live together in the jungles. Once the elders of the family die the family group dissolves and the children wander off into the desert looking for a new jungle to live in where they will join a new family group and begin mating with a chosen female. Strong-arm apes cannot climb trees so, when hungry, they will group together under a fruit bearing tree and begin striking it and throwing sticks and rocks into its branches until fruit falls from it. They are usually passive and will only attack when an intruder gets too close to their young. They will try to scare away intruders before attacking by throwing rocks and large sticks at them and howling.
Diet: Fruit and meat (only when migrating)

Platforms

Platforms are mechanical vehicles that are used for a variety of purposes. Most are used by civilian contractors for construction work or other manual labour. The military has developed several platform designs of their own that are used for combat. Most platforms are bipedal and stand about two or three times the height of a human being and very few are fully enclosed. The only platforms that are permitted to be fully enclosed are military platforms, even then most are still open. The platforms being sent to LP-301a on board the Lacrosse are civilian construction platforms that have had their arms removed to make room for guns (see platform one), standard issue military platforms (see platform two) that have cockpits that rotate separately from the legs allowing them to strafe while firing without sacrificing speed and a Mobile Command Unit that has been modified to be automated and used as a mobile storage unit to carry food, water and any spare parts or weapons that the team finds (see MCU).

A couple ideas for a superhero RP

So that's one vote for the super-powered retirement home. I was hoping for that, I liked that idea.

A couple ideas for a superhero RP

That's sort of what I had in mind actually. The government builds a retirement home for superheroes and supervillains and then stuffs them all in there. Everyone still has their powers, just maybe less powerful or less reliable (for example cyclops from X-men is losing his eye-sight so his lasers are now more akin to really bright flashlights or spider-man has arthritis so his wall-crawling is either really slow or he gets stuck sometimes), and they all still have old grudges and habits so you might have Von Doom running around building evil robots out of kitchen appliances and unleashing them on the nursing staff or something.

A couple ideas for a superhero RP

I watched the movie "the incredibles" with the family today and had a couple ideas for some RPs that might be fun to try. The first is about superhero homelife and the second is a retirement home for the super-powered.

The first idea is rather serious and was basically taken right out of the incredibles, two superheroes fall in love, get married and decide they want a family, so they retire from the life and finally settle down in suburbia and get day-jobs, have a few kids and try to live a normal life despite the fact that both they and their kids have superpowers and they have to hide them from their friends and neighbors.

The second one more light-hearted and would hopefully end up being a comedic RP rather than a serious one and is exactly what it sounds like, all the super heroes and villains have gotten old and retired, in response to this the government has set up a retirement home for the super-powered. All the heroes and villains retained their powers but are older and are retired, living together in a retirement community built exclusively for them in Florida.

Do either of these ideas sound interesting to anyone? I thought they might be fun to try for a while and if they're good we keep going and if they get boring we let them die.

Team Awesome

GG was gone for a while and should be back soon but I have no idea what happened to the others.

Lost Planet-esque RP

Anybody have any name suggestions for the RP? I'm getting ready to put up an OOC but I can't think of a name.
