I'm pretty...I'm more hoping he doesn't eat any of the pcs.

@Demonic Angel

I actually dare him to try and eat Zaad, Khan's Nox Shadow Demon... Gritty and salty.

@Fallenreaper *Remembers I need to go off and build more lore tonight for Sampson. Maybe will stop being lazy and put up his CS tonight..* I expect I'll be giving you more stuffs soon.

@VATROU

*buzzes more and at a greater vibration...*

The latter was just me being a smartarse. The former? Well, again, a lot of his history occurred "off dimension" on other sites and may have limited bearing to this game. Just illustrates his experiences and history more... which I detail as it becomes relevant IC anyway.

@Hound55

Smartarse doesn't show up in text... BELIEVE ME, I've tried and failed! :p

Still would help to have a area where you can access the information when you're ready should the person involved in it be busy right? At least I think so, but that's me and I'm strange! :p

Add on:

Also...Getting a wonderful hype as I'm enjoying this activity and back and forth. *bouncing off the walls.. almost.*

@Fallenreaper: I will try to fill in some more of the new OP as the day continues. Also, I found where the code mistake was that was giving you the error message. There was a stray [indent] code in the character sheet section, right before the "character name" entry.

@nitemare shape: The beginning of the game started in February, correct?

@Dedonus

Ah, thank you Ded. And give me a second while I look at it as I was writing. XD

I think, personally, our Lore section should go after Characters but before the Character Sheet.

@FacePunch

Well, another option is put the CS in the Character thread section that way while the player is looking over the Characters, which I've seen people do often, that will linger in their heads and it also relates to it. That would leave the bottom open for mainly Lore because some of the Lore aren't just connected to PCS but the world and plots too. Example, Midas and Genecorp are leading corps in their fields which means almost everyone can spot their label and know who it is. Yet the references are rarely used as descriptions. They are also apart of the world as well because of that fact.

My stuff for Vigilante comes from over 3 or 4 different websites of game worth and several years of play... frankly I don't want to scare the living shit out of anyone trying to come to terms with the game, that's why I tried to keep mine fairly simple and broad strokes need-to-know in the app itself (with specific mention of his relation to magic).

@Hound55

To be honest, I thrive and get inspiration from reading Lore and such. Even large amounts, but when I first joined I had, even now I'm still having trouble figuring it out, who had what or where to go for information. Right now, it's not an issue. However, I know others who feed off that as well and while I agree it might scare off newbies, there's way to do it without literally making it visual until they need it. At least if they know the source or person to go to, it helps some. You also don't need to make summaries into extreme details, but rather board strokes with enough detail that you have some idea of how it works.

With just my stuff alone I'd need a Lore thread. Then considering everyone else adding their lore, companies, PC friends. Et cetera. So should we put up a community Lore thread?

@VATROU

That's actually up to everyone, I can't answer that alone. So it might be best to vote on it, but the big question is who to send the votes of yes or no to really. *looks to @nitemare shape, @Dedonus and @Hound55.

Vigilante will punch your gods in the face just so he doesn't have to learn a bunch of new lore..

He already has to learn new history for this dimension!

@Hound55

Who says you have to learn it right now or at all? The Lore Thread, if we make one, would be more of a dictionary of information over our creations. You can just use a table of contents to skim to the current topic and research what you need at the time you need then pm the creator over the source if you need more information on their key thing. It seems like you would need to anyway due to the communication clause in the OP. Are you telling me you never used a dictionary ever before when you were looking for information and didn't bother memorizing it? :p

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

re:color That was a typo. I meant note, not know...

@Dedonus

The main reason I made the chart was so people could see the colors against the guild background as it's easier to chose a fitting color. It's easier when you can visually see it in action, at least for me. The background on the link is white, not grey after all, so not all colors will show up well in grey. The deep, dark colors in the blues and purples don't but they show well in the white since they are close to black. They make it hard to read unless you highlight them which isn't an issue, but can be a annoyance some times. There's also a very, very subtle differences between the white that doesn't seem easy to spot on the grey background. So the chart did have more than one purpose while I spent hours working on it. This isn't me whining or hurt, merely stating something I think you might've not known or realized.

Feedback:
-I don't think the "Welcome to The Create-A-Hero RPG" needs to be in that large of font. We already have a banner at the beginning. To me, it almost feels redundant.

@Dedonus

I can alter that no problem.

-Here is some help for characters in the hero/villain/w-t-l examples:
Hero: Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man.
Villain: Joker, Green Goblin, Magneto.
Walking the Line: Punisher, Deadpool.

@Dedonus

Thanks.

-For character speech color, you might also want to know that the colors are also in the "Formatting Cheatsheet" below the reply box.

@Dedonus

Very well, I'll eliminate the list then.

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

Look at that... It's all prettifull!

@Hound55

I'm still trying to attempt to figure out a place to fit the Lore without it becoming over clustered and messy, namely because I think the last thing that is helpful is for the OP to become a information dump. VAT gave me like... over 10 pages worth of Lore in a Pm alone and that was skimmed down. Adding that much to the OP, I think, might be rather messy while we still need to add stuff about the Greek Myths (@Dedonus: I know you use key scriptures for your stuff idea wise, a brief over the Gods that appeared might be ideal, and what sources you use for your greek god inspirations since there are so many and not all are ideal.), the companies like Midas (@nitemare shape: I need a sort summary of the company, including a list of any key NPCS associated with it for the OP. Like what I did here from Jacqueline's CS:

GeneCorp is a leading corporation settled firmly in the area of genetics, pharmaceutical, medical research and healthcare products line. To the public eye their base is in the health and well being of their customers across the globe, several branches all over America. However, behind the scenes their true income lies in classified government projects and biological weapons development for the military. A recent success is the drug known as formula PX36 or the SES, Soldier Enhancement Serum.

), and anyone else with villains that had high connections to things if something they have sticks out (It's not easy for me to keep track of everything in this rp as I'm not directly involved with the plotline since I'm still stuck in limbo...).

I'm assuming, for simplicity's sake, that tech is pretty much based off marvel level and the high grade stuff isn't accessible for everyone, including the common joe. :p I have also most the Magic stuff from Vat so far, but anyone has something they want to add or need the data for their own PC, let VAT or me know as we can pile it onto you vigorously. Just beware, you might end up like NMS...

*done rambling and hope she wasn't being bossy >,<*

As I sneak peek, and since @Dedonus asked for a reference, here's the outline so far. It's not currently done as you can see even for the outline stage, but any feed back would nice even if it's just to say what you like or don't like about it. I'm still tweaking things though and might be getting carried away a bit so @Nitemare Shape...I'm so sorry if I do. >,< I find doing this a bit therapeutic oddly enough, and sometimes the positive feed back is a wonderful thing too.

I would put it in a hider, but currently a tag is misaligned but I can't find the thing. Oddly, it seems not to show in the finished design so if anyone finds it, mind pointing it out for me? I would appreciate it.

Rules and Expectations

* Stay true to the personality and abilities of the character, such as no Cyclops moving planets with his optic blasts, Dazzler defeating Galactus, or Aunt May as Galatus's new Herald...

* Do NOT rip off existing heroes in comic universes. Come up with your own creation. If your character is too similar to one in Marvel, DC, or other comic companies, you will be asked to change it or come up with a new character.

* Before starting a game wide event, check with the GM to ensure it will not conflict with ongoing plans. Such events should NOT be your introductory arc.

* Gods and other deities are not allowed. However, characters such as Darkseid and Odin, who may have been worshiped as such; are.

* Reality warping and cartoon physics and other such powers are not allowed.

* Do NOT criticize another poster’s character. We are not all Stan Lee or Shakespeare. Constructive criticism is okay as long as it is not offensive. This rule applies even if a poster asks for feedback.

* Your character should make sense. Wolverine doesn’t dance in the flowers. If you have a meek character, they shouldn’t be smacking other characters around.

* Communicate with others in your arc. This is key to the fun. It doesn’t matter how many fights you win, it matters if the fights were written well.

* The Game Masters have the final say in matters of character acceptance. You are welcome to alter the character to make it less powerful or more creative, but arguing with the Game Masters is not allowed. This is a game, let it be fun.

* You are allowed three characters. However, if you are new to the game we recommend starting off with one. You can always add another character later.

* This is a working environment, so you can travel to different places using your powers or vehicles. Don't miraculously pop up unless you're a teleporter or such.

* If you are new to the RPG, your first arc should be your origin arc. There are NO pre-established characters in this RPG.

* You can reside in any place in the New Universe. Note, however, that the main city is Lost Haven, Maine. This is where a lot of the action will take place. You can also travel off-planet.

* Don't do anything RANDOM like chopping off board user's heads or what not, unless you're a villain chopping off NPC victims heads, then whatever, go with it, as long as it's not technically RANDOM.

* Don't be killing people without reason. You know your weaknesses and strengths, what you can do or can't. Dazzler will lose against Thanos one on one, but may be able to use her allies to help her out or she can run away.

* If you want to take part in this, just fill out an app and your name and character will appear on the roster, pending approval.

* You can form super villain gangs, superhero teams, alliances, the works.

* There can be a number of stories going on at once, using different people.

* Act like your characters; ASSUME their traits and personalities.

* There are endless places to go and endless things to do: ENDLESS possibilities so get creative.

* There should be MINIMAL cussing and swearing in posts.

* No obscene topics! NO exceptions will be made for the RPG.

* People who disobey these rules, some more major than the others, will get BOOTED by the Game Masters.

* I made most (if not all) of the character banners in this game. If you join and would like one, feel free to ask.

* This game has OPEN ENROLLMENT. There are no limits on the number of players who can join. Feel free to fill out a CS and join the fun!

Btw, folks. Getting an outline for the OP format so you all know what needs more detail, information, etc. Then we can start filling it in when we have an outline that works well. I can't say we all like, mostly because we most likely won't design one we all like and will be happy with since we all have different tastes. However, aiming to work out something that would help tidy the OP up some and make inserting the lore/world stuff/etc easier.

@Fallenreaper

I'm at Drill right now, should be done by this afternoon and have something up late this afternoon/early evening.

@ShidenBlades

Cool and was worried for a bit my Jinx had started to spread. XD
