Not forgetting his Solid Wall trait, which gives a Defence boost to all allies against AoE attacks.

@Genni

Not forgetting that at all, Although I wonder about a 25 defense versus direct damage attacks.

A Defence boost of 5 for 3 Energy, which only lasts for 3 turns and so could be used to give a maximum boost of 15 for 9 Energy and then maintained at that level for a fourth turn before Brick wouldn't have enough Energy to activate it again. And during all those rounds he'd ne using up his action, so wouldn't be able to attack or do any other tricksy mcguffining.

It's a 2 Point upgrade to increase the duration of a status effect for 1 turn, yes.

<Snipped quote by KabenSaal>
Flare! Kill it with fire!

@Genni

My mistake, only a 25 defense for 2 rounds. Still might be useful if there is a bomb ticking down to armor up to protect others. Could also turn it around for a +15 for one attack to really knock someone's lights out.

Trait
-Gun Safety: Flare can now use guns to focus his heat powers through without melting them

@Eklispe

Marvel/DC Crossover?

O.O Sooooo many great ideas! Maybe it'd be best if we all took a vote and then went from there, since some want a more simpler plot while others want one that is a bit more fleshed out..? Yay or nay?

@Winter Blooms

If we vote, I think it is more than one topic to vote over.
Who?
()Canon Only(including cannon alternate)
()Amalgam
()Originals Only
()All
When?
{}Past
{}Present
{}Future
{}Alternate timeline
Where?
[]Two worlds permanently linked(an open portal in a major city for free flowing traffic 24/7, for example.)
[]Two worlds separated (rare occurrences and limited travel)
[]One world amalgamated (supergladiator flying over Metrocago while darkclaw swings through gothyork)
[]One world apart (Batman trades blows with doctor doom in the blue forest of Pandora)
Why?
<>Contest(good versus evil, one universe versus another)
<>Conflict(all versus one opponent)
<>Conquer(some seeking to use this opportunity to their advantage)
<>Confusion(WTF?!?)

Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

Pilot

• Name: Romeo "Runt" Ramirez
• Appearance:
  4'9", 90 lbs. compared to his 6'0" 150 lbs twin brother.
  
• Age: 14
• Personality: He has big shoes to fill and he is trying his best. But the doubt can be seen, its in his pose and in his voice. He acts uncertain when made to over-think things, he is 'passionate' when driven and reckless to prove himself.
• Motive to live: "I fight, flora beautiful world."
• Background:
  Imagine that you're holding on to two bottles and they drop on the floor. What happens? They both break. But it's how they break that's important. Because, you see, while one bottle crumples into a pile of glass, the other shatters into a jagged-edged weapon. You see, the exact same environment that forged older brother into a warrior crushed baby brother. Now here's the twist, the runt is the older brother.
  
  Its no surprise the world was hell in a handbag, day by day it was getting more different. The two boys thought they were safe in aristocratic society, one of those big folk who buy their way out of trouble. The kids engaging in pointless arts like horseback riding and rapier fighting, that is until the colony they lived on was destroyed. The two survived in an escape pod worth more than most spaceships and worth every penny. They were rescued and prepped for having survived first contact with the enemy, the bigger stronger brother was fitted for an armor, but he couldn't take the stresses of the training and took his own life. "The world is so, damn, ugly." Those were the last words on his bloody lips.
  
  Initially, his brother was meant to be the great hero, Now that it was passed to him, he asked for a number of changed made to the system. His brothers frame was causing massive synchronization failures as he felt he was fighting his brothers ghost in the machine like bickering siblings. He went back to formula and plugged into the system as he designed a new frame of aesthetically pleasing form whose function would be built from. He went from negative synchronization to over sixty in days. Well worth the heavy price as he signed over all family holdings and companies to continue the funding for the project. No, for the survival of the species and a beautiful world.
• Notable Deaths: His twin brother, the one who the frame was made for.
• Other things:

Synchro Rate: 86
_=-=_

Framewerk

• Framewerk Code Name: Rose
• Appearance:
  
• Signature Weapon System:
  Rose whip: A reached melee weapon system made for adaptability on the field, each section is its own separate motor capable of gordianknot contortions and ease of replacement between missions. The two main attack functions beyond lashing until a constriction can be made are the piston jabs of the thorns once wrapped around a limb for deeper penetration or each independently spinning to grind whatever it is to dust and crimson mist
• Secondary Weapon System: Rose bouquet: Retracting both of the 'hands' and dropping the head into the chest, the flowers on the crown and wrists openwide to function as a shield while the frame looks a lot like a rosebush
• Armor Type:
  Medium protection melee assault armor built to endure long enough to land terrible blows. The 'vine wrap' on one leg is actually a depiction of 'either/or' for BOTH legs once he closes to melee range as his brother was originally going to use Savate for combat.
• Special Ability:

Final decision.
10 points, Recycle metamorphosis for 2 points, 12 points left
2 points, buy down stoneskin ability cost from 6 to 5, 10 points left
2 points, buy down stoneskin ability cost from 5 to 4, 8 points left

I assume that later someone can spend points to increase duration of their abilities as well for 1 round for 1-2 points?

Gas Mask will give immunity to the Disorientated status effect (decreased Attack and Defence).

@Genni

My mistake.

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

<Snipped quote by knighthawk>
Gas Mask will give immunity to the Disorientated status effect (decreased Attack and Defence), not the Stunned effect (inability to act.) I know it's a quibble but even with a gas mask getting hit on the head could still leave Brick concussed for a short time, trying to catch tweety birds.

<Snipped quote by KabenSaal>
With a base Defence of 7 and a +3 boost I don't think he needs to worry too much about Defence for now.

@Genni

and a boost to 15 for 3 points, not to mention he can stack stoneskin multiple times so he can do 4 armored over 4 rounds for 30 Defense...Hmm...

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

So:10 points, Recycle metamorphosis for 2 points, 12 points left
2 points, buy down stoneskin ability cost from 6 to 5, 10 points left
2 points, buy down stoneskin ability cost from 5 to 4, 8 points left
2 points, buy down stoneskin ability cost from 4 to 3, 6 points left
1 point, Body armor trait, Counts as armored for +3 defense, 5 points left
1 point, Gas mask Trait, Immune to [b]stunned[b] effect, 4 points left
2 points, Brick blood, Immune to [b]burning[b] effect, 2 points left.

Considering to buy "gopher hole" to have an attack, or raise his attack now and get gopher hole later with a higher attack.

Wouldn't it be better to send Bumblebee, Rocksmith and Sigma up first with the Gas Masks, since they'd also be immune to any provocative music which the Gungirls might be playing?

@SimplyJohn

Brick hasn't thought of that, so far they have affected men and women. He plans to be on defense after throwing the grenade, but bring that up and he'l probably change his mind.
