@Aro is my only connection to the outside world when I'm stuck at work. He's agreed to be another Co-GM so I've got one for the villains as well as the heroes.

@Double My main concerns with the suit was the lack of weaknesses as well. With the Predator you had more skin exposed, he could still be cut and shot, etc. The powers of the suit are fine, its the lack of weaknesses that needs to be addressed. Bright lights was a nice suggestion [IDK if that effects snakes or reptiles though], if he can still be subdued by magic or telepathic attacks that should be noted if he doesn't have standard humanoid weaknesses, etc.

@Carlsberg She's still accepted, go 'head and post her in the character tab.

I'll give Aro his ribbon now. Again, now we've got a Co-GM for the heroes [Lmpkio] and one for the villains [Aro] so if I'm not around questions should be directed at them but final say is still mine. If I'm not around for any extended period of time I'll figure something out. @Lmpkio will help me with the sandbox villains, and @Aro will presumably help with sandbox heroes to use as fodder.

Welcome to New Athens, a city of adventure and intrigue on the Atlantic Coast of North Carolina. In New Athens, a hero is made every day and a villain every night. A thriving metropolis, New Athens is a modern city built in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and extending to the Atlantic Ocean with several valleys and one large river that connects to the coast. Over the years the city thrived with coal mining being it's main source of revenue however New Athens quickly became a leading industrial city on the eastern 'States with several noteworthy corporations' factories and plants. Westman Chemical Plant, Napier Valley Ammunition Plant, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company, and Wells Helicopter are just a few of the reasons people choose to live and work in the grand city of tomorrow. The Olympian Gazette is widely known for its stories of new superhumans and celebrities, as well as the general local news. Midtown is where most of the action is, as well as the Mercury Mall. Subdivisions, landmarks, and schools include Lee Heights, the Kirby River, Shuster Elementary School, Universal Avenue [one of the longest streets in America], Simon Middle School, Kubert High School, Riverview [ghetto subdivision], Highland Park, Warpath State Park [in the mountains], the Museum of Tomorrow [tech museum], etc. The city sees a number of tourists as well, all trying to get a glimpse of superhumans in action. New Athens has more superhumans than any other major metropolitan city in America with a general population of over three hundred and sixty thousand residents with an estimated fifteen thousand superhumans possibly within city limits. And who are these superhumans?

May 3rd, 11:52 am...

A young man with glowing yellow eyes rode a mechanical snake towards the city New Athens on the coast of North Carolina. Arkylius had tried to be a hero in the undersea city of Atlantis, but his friend, and main mode of long distance transportation 'Jake', was the reason he left to be a hero abroad. The King had ordered the robot creature dismantled by the Royal Guard and the young Atlantian chose to flee. Ark was only about a half mile out from the beach now, and put the stealth mode on Jake activating his invisibility tech that Ark also possessed in his would be supersuit.

The twenty-four year old young man swam to shore the rest of the way at a remarkable speed, and on foot immediately began looking around with wide eyes and dreams of having a life of his own on the surface. The Atlantian walked into a shop on the boardwalk and wanted regular surface dweller clothing and a bag for his gear. He walked out with black swim trunks and a white t-shirt with something spray painted on it. And some sandals that looked like they were made for a teenager with some sort of ridiculous image printed on them. The bag he purchased to carry his gear in also had flowers on it, as the boy had much to learn about the surface world. When it came time to pay he simply put down a handful of gold coins and a large bottle cap sized jewel. The owner looked completely happy as the stuff probably only costed him ten or fifteen dollars total. The jewel by itself would go for about twenty times that alone.

Ark continued up the boardwalk with his bag in hand. Aside from not really knowing what anything was supposed to be on land, he seemed to fit in effortlessly. He came upon 'UNIVERSAL AVE.' that had a sign close to it on a bus stop reading 'The Longest Street In The Nation. EST 1882'

There was no reason for Ark to go in either direction of this famed street. However in the distance he saw for the first time the Appalachian Mountains. He wanted to go towards those, but on Universal all kinds of things transpire. The longest street in the nation goes right through downtown and midtown, as well as towards Westman Chemical's quarter of the city.

1:37 pm...

Shayd the Indestructible Man awaits in the Kirby River upstream from Westman Chemical plotting his next strike. The black behemoth didn't know that STRIKE was watching him from their hidden mountain fortress with satellites only the smartest minds in the world could operate.

It's cool, shit happens I suppose. But if you see an opening down the road and we're down a character or two lemme know!

@Carlsberg I think we can work her in as she was since she wasn't a guns and ammo style vigilante or one who runs around with the arsenal of a billionaire. The tk powers really set her apart. I'll look over the revised sheet in a bit though if you wanted to change her...

@Double yeah we've still got room for another alien. An alien law enforcer though, especially ala Green Lantern will have to have a superb character sheet. Couldn't be as powerful either!

@Lmpkio thanks for watching over this. I'm gonna get to work on the IC now, been a long day...

I was kinda under the impression that this had died. No activity in the OOC or IC either one for days usually tends to kill RP's and this one's been pretty inactive for being posted a month ago. My CS was last to be accepted and that was 17 days ago....

@MsMellow Yeah I think this character will fit in nicely, accepted! Get with @FantasyChic and @Lmpkio for the cosmic stuff that'll be going down in the game.

EDIT: Going to work for a few hours then I'll be back home and starting on the IC. Got way too distracted last night and ultimately passed out after giving up the laptop.

U N I V E R S A L ™ (Accepting New Players!)

Accepted.

U N I V E R S A L ™ (Accepting New Players!)

My honest opinion? I'd love to see what you had for a Capt. Marvel-esque hero. Genome seemed cool enough but you really seemed to lose the steam to put her out there in the RP after already laying out a lot of groundwork. Can't really make heads or tales of the other idea though since you haven't posted a WIP sheet or anything but Capt. Marvel is a favorite of mine as well as a similar character in Malibu Comics' PRIME.

@FantasyChic It's actually my wife working on finishing the Alien Outlaw character, and yeah her whole reason for signing up was to collaborate on some either mystic or cosmic stuff... and she went cosmic.

Side Note: I'll be in the titanpad shortly to begin working on an opening IC post.

Oops. Posted it into the wrong tab.

@Pirouette

It's okay, that's ten kinds of accepted. Definitely wanna see how she handles a giant robot snake.
