@rush99999 Sorry for the delay, s wedding for this weekend dropped into my la with very little notice so it's been a mad couple of days.

Say. If 1 of the gungirls is from Latveria, does that mean that this RP is set in the marvel universe?

@rush99999

I'd says it's set in A Marvel Unverse, but not the mainstream one (616) or the MCU (199999.)

If pushed I'd say we're on Earth-6924, where Professor Erskine never experimented on the spear soldier serum, Red Skull never discovered the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube and Howard Stark never developed Arc Reactor technology by studying it. The dimensional space also interacts with the DC multiverse, but billionaire Thomas Wayne managed to fight off a mugger in Crime Alley and led Gotham into a brighter, more prosperous future, the Kryptonian High Council listened to Jor-El's warning and took action to save their planet and Hippolyta managed to keep her legs together after fighting Zeus to a standstill.

Did anyone check the room the girls bursted out of?

@knighthawk

Nope.

You've actually worked with comic artists? What is your job exactly?

@rush99999

At the moment I'm a freelance events planner, but a few years ago I was a comic book script editor.

@Genni The one that was stunned was the doberman. Remember, they're mother dogs ripped apart from their cubs.

@Behemoth542

My mistake, I took it the 'her' you were talking about was Nightingale.

Codename: Prometheus (a super human rp)

Quickly turning to smoke Nicotine followed Hardline into the ventilation system, keeping herself cohesive enough to be able to move quickly and with purpose, rather than spreading herself too thin and leaving herself vulnerable when reforming. It felt strange as they wove their way through the air shafts and ducts, having Hardline's metal and plastic body rippling along in the middle of her cloud, and in a way Nicotine enjoyed the sensation of someone moving around inside her.

@SimplyJohn
"It's this way, and then down a level and to the left," she said to the robotic snake, which buzzed back in the affirmative. Nicotine presumed that in Hardline's current form her voice box had obviously been disconnected and she wondered how long it would take the mechanical maiden to reform herself when they reached their destination.

articles of practical superheroine designs.

@knighthawk

Celeste Pille - I don't like most of these, they all just scream the worst aspects of 'feminism' where a few body conscious extremists complain about any form of femininity or sexuality being portrayed without giving any regards to the character's own appearance or requirements. The fact that several of the designs are rip-offs of costumes the characters have worn in various media rather than actually being creative is a big bad for me too.

With Jen she wears the swimming costume because her body grows in the same way as Bruce's when she hulks out, so covering her legs with the redesigned costume would not only be worthless when it gets torn away moments later, but might actually get in She-Hulk's way when fighting.

As for Jessie's costume, all they've redesigned about it is the headwear. Apart from that they've given her breast reduction surgery and made her eat a couple of dozen cream cakes to pack on the pounds. Changing a character's figure does not count as a costume redesign.

Michael Lee Lunsford - These ones I like. The only one I'd have a problem with would be Supergirl's pencil skirt, since from experience I can tell you that tight, knee-length skirts are a nightmare to run in, and if she's expected to be able to fight while wearing one she may as well tie her knees together.

Lord Ingvard - There ones I love, and I may have to steal pay homage to them when it comes to creating some character of my own. Not are they fully functional, but they all work really well for the characters too. My only gripe would be Vampirella carrying a crossbow, which would be a little pointless given her powers, but a girl's gotta accessorise, right?

Having actually worked with comic book artists I can tell you exactly why female characters are drawn with such skin-tight clothing. Because it's simple to draw. When you have to draw the same character over and over having a basic, no frills costume where only the colourist has to worry about getting the palette correct is far easier than a costume with hundreds of details to remember each time from every angle.

Female character are given larger breasts because at a distance you need their curves to be noticeable and giving them a flat chest and smooth hips gives them a silhouette indistinguishable from a male's, which can make action scenes and group shots more difficult to lay out.

Also, I got lost in the XP counting. How much does Sigma have post level up?

@Behemoth542

Here's the current XP list going into the final round:

@rush99999 Rocksmith 118
@SimplyJohn Bumblebee 139
@Eklispe Flare 135
@knighthawk Brick 157
@GodOfWar Heretic 125
@Behemoth542 Sigma 127
@General Scales Psy-Warp 50
@KabenSaal Deimos 50
@Shadowman215 Void 50

Since Psy-Warp, Deimos and Void are all starting on level 2 they automatically get the 50 XP required for that level, based on the training they've been doing back at base while the rest of the party were actually working. :p

Carnegie: "He killed them! My wife! My daughter!"

Mundy: "I tried to burn down the Tempire. I didn't burn it down, so technically, I never ruined his life. In fact, by trapping me in here, he ruined mine. There's no phone here. Do you know how long I've been trying to talk to my mum and dad?"

There was slight zipping sound.

@SpookySquid

CC was about to ask for more information about the two's interwoven past when she heard a strange noise. Instinctively she ducked down and reached into her bag for something she could use to defend herself with only to find herself holding the bottle of liquid soap, her other hand still gripping Mundy's barrel tightly.

"Did you hear something?" She hissed over at her companions, listening carefully to see if the noise came again, and if it did where it came from.

Madison 'Nightingale' Johannson - [LINK]
Energy: 4/10
20 / 4 / 6

Seeing her colleague savagely mauled by the feral beast Nightingale quickly broke off from the battle and rushed over to Phantom, dragging him a little ways clear of the fighting before pulling out her medical kit as the lights flickered off plunging the party into darkness.

"Don't worry, we'll soon have you feeling much better," she said in a soft, seductive voice, flicking her goggles down and activating the night-vision feature so she could see what she was doing a little better, and then jammed a large needle into Phantom's throat. As the chemicals did their work Phantom suddenly found himself feeling a lot better than he had moments before. "Now say 'Ahh'," the combat nurse ordered, holding up a lollipop.

Why isn't Nightingale immune?...Wait...Oh...Actually I think I already know.

@rush99999

There was a clue to that at the beginning of the previous engagement:

Bumblebee is immune to Beguiling Tune: Female Heterosexual
Nightingale is now Smitten with Gungirl 1!

@Genni

An open sexuality can be a dangerous thing when mind-warping sirens are on the loose.

That, or Nightingale's really a man in drag.
