The Broken Drum - Casual drop-in chat for out-of-work adventurers

Astrape squirmed a little under the heavy barman, not wanting to disturb the man too much as a certain part of him was pressing against a certain part of hers in such a way as to not feel too bad at all. In fact it felt pretty good. Moving her hips a little to get better friction she began to grind her part of her anatomy against it, letting the sensation fill her up inside as she let herself be overwhelmed.

Across the room Bronte lifted her head for a moment, her dazed eyes scanning the scene, taking in the sight of her sister pinned between the rocky half-troll and the metal man before sighing despondently and slipping back to sleep on the surprisingly intact bed. "Just make sure you remember to use protection this time." She bellowed as her eyes fluttered closed. "We don't want to have to wipe out another village of your offspring, do we?"

Suddenly Astrape realised there was someone underneath her and shifting her buttocks aside she realised her metal hunk's face had been buried beneath them. "Oh, I'm so sorry," The lightning goddess said quickly, removing her hand from Geoff's bulging coinpurse as she quickly clambered out from under him. "I didn't realise you were down there."

@CAS1006 I'm bet Cas is glad he asked now.

BattleCorp™: Combatant Creator

@Genni Unless otherwise stated in the game, your health and energy replenishes. Buffs and debuffs also dissapear.
As an alternative, I was thinking to have a turn or two without an enemy instead. In that time, they would have special actions (rest, chat, examine, etc) that would normally not be avialable in a fight.

@Behemoth542

I think the 'rest period' idea would be good, since players could then choose to Rest and regain health or Recover/Eat/Meditate to recover energy.

If a player hadn't taken much damage or used much energy they could instead Interact with the fallen enemy in order to gain bonus XP or possibly a bonus to their abilities for the next battle, which would then reward players who'd performed well taking the enemy down quickly without taking much damage, and give players who'd been more defensive or not been targeted by the enemy a chance to gain some XP as well.

Plus if anyone wants to spend the time making out with Nightingale in the medical tent they're more than welcome, for a modest fee.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

@SpookySquid

For a moment CC's full attention was drawn to the sight of BB's tight panties stretched over her crotch as she lay on her face before the player. Reaching out with her hand CC was tempted to slip it in between the woman's thighs and do nasty things to her until BB squealed, but at the last moment CC managed to get ahold of herself and instead moved her hand to help BB back up onto her feet.

"Here, let me help with that," CC said in a friendly tone, kneeling down in front of BB to pull her jeans up over her thighs for her. For a second CC's face was less than an inch from BB's sacred mound and she couldn't help but breathe in the beautiful woman's scent before quickly climbing back onto her feet with a smile. "There you go, all better now." CC said as she watched BB fastening up her pants before turning her attention to the console.

"Have you any idea how any of this works?" She asked her new friend, pointing at the panel, the monitor and the blinking lights, but not really expecting an answer. I wonder which words it is she does know, CC pondered, hoping 'Oh God Yes!' were amongst the woman's repertoire. As the thought of BB saying those words to her in a certain context filled CC's mind she reached out and tentatively pressed the deactivate before looking up to see what it might've caused happen.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

What I'd like to get your opinions on is whether I should take the time to figure out a plot and iron out the major details before making the interest check, or just make it as the vague idea that we have so far and see what the majority of interested people want. I see benefits to both sides.

@Cyclone

The problem with fleshing out a plot in advance is that players may start to wander away from it, in which case you either have to step in to try and force them in the direction you want them to go, or start rewriting everything to take into account what's happening.

I'd still plan on playing as a Fairy captured by the Dark Mistresses and converted to their side though, in case you'd like to include that in the plot. :)

Harrowmounts Plight

Uhm, so since Mayumi is fighting off with her sword and bow and arrow or what not, I'm thinking either Karasuma needs a wielder to be helpful or the last souls that she consumed can allow her for some upgrades so she can fight herself?

@karamonnom

I wasn't sure if you still wanted Mayumi to be swinging you around so thought it best to have her stick to her own gear for a while. She could always grab hold of you to give you a boost if you'd like her to?

Harrowmounts Plight

As she slew another of the demon beasts Mayumi realised that all her Soul Trap Crystals were now growing brightly, having absorbed enough of the spiritual energy from her thrusting sword attacks to reach their capacity. "Everyone, get clear!" She shouted over her shoulder as she tossed the crystals quickly into position around the room. "I'm going to try something a little dangerous."

Pointing her bow up at the ceiling Mayumi visualised four arrows and waited until they'd all formed in front of her before releasing the bow. The arrows flew up at the ceiling before ricocheting down towards the carefully positioned crystals, which formed a circle around most of the demons in the room.

Codename: Prometheus (a super human rp)

Full Name: Vivienne Almeida
Codename: Nicotine
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Ethnicity: Latina
Nationality: Brazilian
Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Weight: 42kg (mass affected by powers)
Appearance:

Nicotine

Personality: While appearing bubbly and playful on the surface Nicotine has a vicious streak hidden beneath and can strike without warning when provoked.

Classification: Metahuman

Powers/Abilities:

Smoke-form

Smoke-form (Typhokinesis)

Intangible

Nicotine has the ability to transform her body into smoke, becoming a cloud of intangible gas which can fill a space of approximately 200m² while maintaining enough density to obscure vision. Dissipating herself any wider that this makes Nicotine translucent to the point of invisibility.

Omniscience

While in her smoke form Nicotine is aware of anything which happens within her cloud, although cannot sense or perceive things happening outside of her area of control. This awareness can become overloaded when she is spread over a wide area, necessitating her to fully concentrate on one area at a time in order to monitor activities, for instance a single building or other location.

Incapacitation

In high concentration states Nicotine can use her smoke form as a weapon, binding and trapping a target in her coiling vapours or forcing herself over their mouths or into their airways to suffocate them. Studies have shown exposure to Nicotine's smoke form has no long term health implications for those around her, and once recovered her targets may act and move as normal.

Weaknesses:

Windswept

While in her smoke form Vivienne is subject to atmospheric conditions, such as winds, thermal updrafts and turbulence from objects passing through her.

Involuntary Activation

Vivienne's incorporeal nature can sometimes trigger involuntarily, especially during highly emotional situations, leaving her unable to act on objects physically until she regains control of herself.

Waif

Even in a solidified state Vivienne has very little weight and can easily be knocked aside and thrown around by almost any opponent. She makes up for this somewhat with her skills in hand-to-hand combat, but still lacks the physical strength to easily cause damage to her enemies.

Weapons:

Nicotine can shape her smoke into solid, non-mechanical shapes, for instance blades, bludgeons and stabbing weapons. These blades can be thrown at distant targets but lose cohesion the further they are from her body, becoming nothing more than vapour after 187m.

Gear:

None. As Nicotine's power affects her whole body at once she is unable to carry any items, even clothing, while using her abilities. She normally gets around this problem by forming clothes from her smoke, although technically she's almost always naked.

Skills:

As a former supermodel Nicotine knows about fashion, presentation, psychological manipulation and seduction. She is also talented in a number of 'persuasion techniques', especially when it comes to influencing men. With her father's streetfighter training Nicotine is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, able to use her abilities and combat techniques in combination to take out most opponents easily.

Brief History:

History

While growing up in São Paulo, Vivienne had no idea that her parents had once been the famous crime fighters 'Tufo' and 'Bull Dinâmico'¹ believing instead that the strange leather and latex costumes she found in their closets were something personal and best not to be discussed with their teenaged daughter. Having hung up their tights when Tufo had become pregnant her parents had gone into the Superhero Protection Programme, leaving their lives behind to be relocated safely away from their old nemeses in order to give Vivienne a normal life.

At the age of seventeen Vivienne was spotted by a talent scout for one of Brazil's largest fashion houses and soon found herself appearing on the covers of magazines across the country, and over the next few years she soon became recognised as one of the rising stars in the fashion world. With her international debut just around the corner her career hit a nosedive when a rival model gave Vivienne a poisoned cigarette in the hopes of eliminating her competition. The plan worked but not in the way the rival had planned as the cigarette caused Nicotine's powers to trigger for the first time, turning her body into vapour as she walked down the catwalk in the middle of an international fashion show, leaving her clothes behind on the floor and Vivienne naked and exposed before the world's press.

Returning home in tears, her dreams of fame and fortune shattered, Vivienne was welcomed by her parents who, after revealing the truth of their own past, set out to train their daughter in the use of her newly awakened powers. Her mother, sharing her daughter's vapour-like abilities, taught Vivienne how to manipulate her density at will, forming solid shapes and vanishing into mist at will, while her father's tough street fighting skills allowed him to show his daughter how to handle herself when she needed to.

After several years fighting crime on the backstreets of São Paulo, the woman once referred to as 'The Star Who Streaked The World of Fashion' is now ready to re-emerge as 'The Star Who Beat The World Of Crime'.

_{1 - 'Wisp' and 'Dynamic Bull' in Portuguese}

Other:

Heavy Smoker

Vivienne can almost always be found smoking a cigarette, usually using a signature cigarette holder formed from her own smoke. While she tells people that she needs to do this to maintain her smokey existence in reality it's more just to annoy people she doesn't like.

Lover

Bisexual in nature, Vivienne is currently in a committed relationship with Harriet Robinson, a fellow fashion model from The United Kingdom she first became friends with during her time on the catwalk. Vivienne doesn't know that the poisoned cigarette which triggered her powers was given to her by Harriet, who had been tricked by Vivienne's rival into believing the cigarette had been laced with an aphrodisiac she could use to her own advantage.

'Superhero Slut'

Vivienne secured her first contract as a fashion model by performing lewd acts with an executive from the fashion house for which she ended up working and a sex tape of these acts is available on the internet for those who know where to look. This, along with the embarrassing first display of her powers and her open and honest attitude regarding her sexuality, has led the social activist Constance Whitehouse to start an online hate campaign against the 'Superhero Slut' who she feels is no proper role model for the world's children.
