Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

I'll get to finishing my first post and re-read the Andy/Zeke posts before getting it sorted. Should be done in a few hours at most.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

I believe MB has had busy times, but I do recall an earlier discussion where potential Multiverse Shennanigans were nyxed.

@Sep

Superman's entire altered origin hinges on "multiversal" scenarios. Food for thought.

But like I said, I can go back to the drawing boards if needed.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

At this point it seems we've made acceptable compromises going forward and all we need is to see if MB is cool with it by end of day.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

I don't want to be the reason someone doesnt play a character but it doesn't feel reflective of what I've written so far in my sheet and post to suggest my Kara 'wouldnt' be a Metropolis character in a relatively short time span. I don't think its helping my sense of being a bit ambushed that this was obviously considered in collaboration but yet I didn't make the cut for that.

If people want a more traditional Supergirl/Powergirl split I can probably still have fun with that I'd just really rather stray away from the idea of confirming which one is the 'real' Kara or not if we do play that out.

@Ezekiel

My two cents is this:

I did not intend to ambush you or put your interpretation into question. I thought I was familiar with every sheet in the game and didn't see Kara's name in the GOTG roster spot. That's on me and nobody else. When I made my character in collaboration I tend to always ask my parent character's (through DMs or otherwise) for their consent of approval and I do have a working relationship with Andy in games that stretches back quite some time.

Whatever it takes for both of us to be able to have fun (if accepted) I will do.

Insofar on the group dynamic, my perspective of the two Kara's conceptually is everyone comes from different Krypton's potentially so the traditional alternate dimension Kara (Power Girl) and same timeline Kara (Supergirl) seem largely not in play. I believe also both our Kara's have different goals, as I never intended my Kara to even be looking for Kal-El in the first place. However us three want to develop on there would be fun and interesting. We are in a scenario that allows for more interpretation and variation then traditional games in the past would allow. If my concept is still a non-factor, I will find something else to do, but in terms of heavy collaboration characters I admit I don't have a lot of options.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

Ooh, whoops didn't see Zeke there. So looks like I have to do some last minute conferences with them as well as Andy.

Having two Kara's around isn't exactly something I thought about. Worst case scenario I save it for a rainy day/whenever the next game is. Best case scenario we have Power Girl and Supergirl at the same time? Either way, failure to do a full read of every sheet is on me and if MB wants to tell me its no good, them's the breaks.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

After discussions with @AndyC, well, you know which way the wind blows with me.

This allows her to lift objects weighing up to 300,000 metric tons, roughly the mass of the Empire State Building. This works in conjunction with her gravitational field, which can extend into any object she touches to prevent collapse. When focused into a physical strike, she can deliver punches and kicks with a force roughly equal to an artillery cannon, though with exertion she can deliver a strike of over a hundred kilotons of force. ◼ Invulnerability Kara's immense strength and gravity manipulation can also absorb tremendous impacts. She is impervious to most conventional weapons, with anything short of high-yield explosives being little more than an inconvenience. She can withstand the impact of a 5-megaton nuclear warhead, though doing so would render him unconscious. ◼ Super Senses Kara is capable of seeing the entire electromagnetic spectrum, focusing her vision to a subatomic level, looking through solid objects, and zooming her vision out to several light years. In addition, her senses of hearing, smell, and touch are superhuman, though not to the extent of her vision. ◼ Heat Vision Kara can emit energy through her eyes in the form of high-powered lasers. These can be focused with surgical precision, or released in a high-yield blast with a maximum output of 50 petawatts from each eye. These beams can easily cut through anything short of Vibranium or Adamantium. Using her Heat Vision drains Kara's energy reserves quickly. ◼ Flare State In desperate circumstances, Kara can burn through all of her energy reserves at once, entering a temporary “Flare State” that amplifies all of her powers exponentially. In this state, she can move the mass of entire planets, move at a significant fraction of the speed of light, and absorb attacks with the power of a large star. However, she can only remain in this state for a few seconds at a time, and doing so leaves him completely drained of her power- every second Kara spends in the Flare State leaves him powerless for an hour afterward. ◼ Enhanced Intelligence Either the result of natural affinities or her father's genetic modifications, Kara has comprehensive intelligence that is advanced at a baseline level. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Kryptonian Codex Kara carries a codex with her to integrate with other systems. - W E A K N E S S E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Kryptonite Irradiated shards of the lost world of Krypton, Kryptonite crystals are inert in their natural state, but when an electrical current is put through them, they emit waves of radiation that are poisonous to kryptonians. Exposure to Kryptonite radiation causes the power plants of Kara’s cells to melt down, reducing her powers and causing pain and disorientation. The stronger the current is focused through a crystal, the more intense the effects of Kryptonite poisoning can be. In addition, wounds caused by Kryptonite weapons do not heal, creating permanent weak spots. ◼ Sensory Manipulation Kara's enhanced senses can be used against her. Sound-based attacks can cause her pain, as well as disrupt her equilibrium and make flight near impossible. In addition, light-based attacks can cause her temporary blindness. ◼ Non-Physical Vulnerability While Kara and other kryptonians are nearly invulnerable to physical harm, she has no defenses against attacks that are non-physical in nature, such as psychic abilities, magic spells, or manipulation from supernatural entities. - L I M I T S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Inexperience The universe is a lot more lively in this century than it was in Kara's time. She may be accustomed to baseline levitation and other Kryptonian powersets, but not with the immense capabilities she will be gifted by her DNA. The raw speed, power, and sensory overload will take some time getting used to and narrowing down to a comfortable level. ◼ Age The difference between an adult and a teenager with the same powerset are immense in terms of precise control, strength, and endurance. While Kara has the vigor and impulsive tenacity of youth, she does not have Clark’s raw volume of strength and power. She can exert herself to push herself to his level, but it does take a considerable amount of stamina. Consider her power threshold halved at the baseline level in contrast to her cousin. ◼ Power Reserves While her peak strength may appear to be limitless, her endurance isn't. Kara's cells can store tremendous amounts of energy, but when that energy is spent, it takes time to replenish. Overuse of his powers or exerting them beyond their threshold can leave Kara severely weakened for a time, and burning through it all to enter her Flare State will leave her completely powerless for hours. -

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... ________________________________________________________________________________________ An impossible task. An inevitable fate. In the mind of Kara-El, the people of Earth were a footnote in the history of Krypton, a template for what once was and never could be again. If she knew her father was going to extradite her to another place in time for hope to avoid the fate of their world, well, she would’ve prepared herself for it a little better. Young, inexperienced, and consumed by guilt she finds herself jettisoned into a temporal rift as Krypton itself fell into chaos and destruction. Kara, now alone and consumed by grief that she will never see her family and friends again must try to find a way to secure the future of not only herself but heed her mission to ensure the fate of Krypton never comes to be. Where her temporal pod lands will dictate how her story truly begins... P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking lead from Andy's Krypton changes, I was inspired this morning to return to one of the characters I feel I can write in my sleep. The major crux of this Supergirl, outside of the provided changes, is that while she is inexperienced she isn’t particularly ignorant, serving as kind of a middle point between traditional concepts of the character and New 52/Adventures versions. What I hope to achieve is, well, actually writing in this game on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (as time and energy allows). I’ve spoken with Andy to some length about what we could do going forward and if things don’t work out if circumstance strikes I have some solo villains lined up that don’t dip into Superman’s pie. Coordination and collaboration is the key of my strengths, after all. If this seems to be acceptable I can start discussing introduction plans with Andy and more precise integrations going forward. Thank you for your patience as always.

Ultimate One Universe: Resistance

Superman/Fantastic Four double feature has really reinvigorated me, so maybe it'll help me get back in writing gear with a new concept. Hope everyone is doing well.

The way things had escalated in such a short time was something else.

These were the kind of situations you saw in fiction and it did shock Paul, even if he had remained relatively composed given current events. When the first reports went out he had thought how disease control would handle things, how the military would coordinate, and how to plan around it. He was impulsive, but measured, then again all of the thinking he could possibly do was thrown into a blender when he came to realize his daughter wasn’t anywhere safe. Paternal instincts came in from there, and then, he went to find his very bitter and quite upset ex-wife to try to coordinate their efforts.

Considering the papers he had left at her door over the weekend he was surprised she hadn’t turned into a raving lunatic. Fortunately, that had not happened so far; though, she was a very loud and manic person.

“If you think so.” He remarked, as he stopped his car, knowing Diane would want to investigate. His eyes scanned the road for any trouble, and then back to the tracker app. “If they won’t help, it won’t take us long at all to find her.”

It wouldn’t take him long to go a mile, barring the troubles he had driving.

Sorry about being a bit late, it was a hectic week but I'm finishing up my post right now.
