Guess Who

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Guess Who you realize you have until tomorrow night, right? It's not much more time, but it's more time. I take it none of your teammates are assisting you? That reminds me, I still don't have a definitive name for that team yet. Was it Regrets?

@Lugubrious

I know I have until tomorrow night, but I'm just too tired from work to do it right now and I have both school and work tomorrow so I don't think I'll be able to do it then either. Also, I'm pretty sure we're in two different time zones so your tonight is closer to my noon.

Yeah, no one on my team was interested in working on it so I've been doing it by myself this whole time.

Our Skype group is literally called Team <name pending>. We still haven't all agreed on a name.

Heroes of Beacon - Contest of Champions

I apologize for turning in an incomplete entry, but I just don't think I'm going to finish this even if I were to be given an extension. There are just some things, like personality and semblances, that I'm just completely stumped on and I just started the new semester so I have even less time to work on it than I did before. If I don't receive any credits for this I understand.

Alex Glaukos

Member 2

Name: Alex Glaukos
Based off of: Alexander the Great
Sex: Male
Color: Light Blue (Glaukos is Greek for Light Blue)
Personality: The joker of the group, even when the team is facing off against grim odds Alex will usually find some way to sneak in a witty remark. If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s one of the most skilled fighters on the team, they might have tried to kick him out long ago for finding his so irritable.
Armament: Alex uses twin Xiphos as his weapons and is known to have beaten every opponent he’s ever fought, whether they be a large, bulky soldier or a quick, light footed Grimm.

Armament: Huang uses a large staff that has a long, sharp blade on each side. When he wishes for it to transform though, the blades fold into the staff as the staff curves to become a longbow. The “string” of the bow is actually a hard light construct and so are the arrows. Whenever the string is pulled back, an arrow suddenly appears where it should, giving Huang an unlimited supply.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

My Hider

Oh, Ironwood better not be dead. I will be upset.

@Lugubrious

Spoilers

Yeah, to see him do that cool fight against the Alpha Beowolf (or whatever it's called) only to have him get shot in the back a few minutes later would be such a disappointing death. He at least deserves a cool death where he dies fighting a huge ass army of against an opponent that completely outclasses even the best Hunter.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

New episode is....

Really cool. I get the feeling that the next one will be cooler. If they're suffering for want of good animators, they're doing a good job of hiding it.

Last day for the contest, folks.

@Lugubrious

Spoilers

Yeah, I actually forgot about that while watching this episode. Really sucks to be Beacon right now what with having to fight off three armies now. We got Grimm for days, plenty of White Fang, and every Altesian robot you could ask for. It's almost like the Battle of the Five Armies all over again.

Anyway, anyone else see the new Hellsing Ultimate Abridged episode?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

In case anyone else is doing the current contest besides myself, I just found this. I wish I had found it before when I was struggling to come up with a name for the characters, but oh well.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Anybody notice that we've got more pages of OOC than the old HoB thread had IC posts?

@Prince of Seraphs

You seem surprised by this. I don't know why. Have you seen how active this RP is in the OOC what with us always talking about shows we all watch or arguing whether a certain character should or shouldn't be able to do something?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I'm starting to get the feeling that, compared to the schools everyone else here went to, I had the worst. I even took AP U.S. History too.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Four days left on the credit-stravaganza contest, people.

@Lugubrious

I'm probably halfway done with mine. I just need to do the weapons, semblances, and appearances.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Just finished watching Lazer Team. It was pretty frickin' funny. Definitely met my expectations. And we finally have a release date for Day 5. Been so long since that first trailer came out I almost forgot about it.

Also, stay after the credits for deleted scenes.

X-Men: The New Era

So! Thoughtful arc and I wanted your opinions A SMALL 3 post arc or so in the future, an x-men level event occurs in our neighborhood so the teachers arrange for the students to travel to the location to function as crowd control while the heavy hitters do what they do.

This gives the players an opportunity to Rolelay one of the big guns for a few posts and perhaps act as inspirations for your characters. I'm not sure who here plays MMO's but it would be like going on a one-time event and being handed a epic-tier character to play around in for getting a taste of power.

Thoughts? ALSO! Who wants something specific to target your characters? I was thinking of Mr. Sinister coming to raid the school for new DNA samples for his experiments. This will be an excellent way to remove characters who have dropped out and possibly bring them back as villains.

@knighthawk

Yeah I agree with Kaiser. I do my best to avoid roleplaying as established characters as well do to the fact that they're not mine so I don't know them as well as I would a character of my own creation.
