I welcome competition, not only to encourage others to step outside of their usual wheelhouses, but also to encourage myself to step outside of my usual wheelhouses.


No direct competition. Not from me, at least. Just similar lanes.
For the record I'm probably looking at Constantine, to the shock of absolutely nobody.


Hm.
I'm going to play Thor.


In DC, Thor was a puppet of Hitler. Fun fact.
The Cold War spanned a long time. Is there a specific decade you had in mind, @Sep, for the JSA disbandment, or?

I ask for no particular reason.
I'll get my actual Spidey post up tomorrow.
I need to finish a post for something else tonight.


"Something else," he says. I'll try not to be offended.
You can always get started and if anyone else wants to hop in midway they are able to do so.
@Retired can i ask about how victor's sheet is looking? it's been 5 days since i added the sample post to it, though i understand if it might have flown under the radar given that a lot's happened OOC since then.


You're absolutely right. Thank you for reminding me. It was moreso me losing power and missing your post saying you updated the sheet.

@udonoodles is accepted!

At least you had a keyboard...

There was a time I was writing posts with a controller.


It was the on-screen keyboard lol. I had to use the controller to select every single character.

This is a moderate event and as such can accommodate three or four players at most. The content of the event is directly tied into the ongoing NYC gang war as well as the superhuman arms race in general. As such, the outcomes of this event will have a noticeable impact on future events.

As a mini-event, you as the players are in direct control of how it is resolved. I as the GM have set up the plot, but I leave the rest to you. While I am happy to answer any clarifying questions in the OOC, I will not be contributing to the event in the IC until it is completed. All NPCs are jointly controlled by the responding players.

The parties involved are:

  • Antonio Rodriguez AKA Armadillo - an up until this point unknown superhuman who has been genetically modified. He is employed by Roxxon Energy Corporation to see to the safe transport of their illegal weaponry out of the city.
  • The Big Man's assault team made of various gangbangers and thugs, led by mercenary Mortimer Norris, and wielding an impressive array of firearms and some minor high-tech gadgets. They are, including Mort, a total of fourteen men strong after the untimely death of one member.
  • Various civilians on the surrounding NYC streets.


To be considered safely resolved, the following must be achieved:
  • The safety of all innocent civilians in the area.


The following are additional, secondary goals that can be achieved:
  • Prevent more loss of life for the assault team.
  • Defeat Armadillo.
  • Apprehend some or all of the assault team.
  • Secure the (currently still hidden) advanced weaponry inside the tanker's drum.


A reminder that not all goals need to be achieved. In fact, the responding players can choose to fail any or all of the above, including the primary goal. Failure to resolve, such as writing the death of civilians and/or the escape of the criminals, is entirely within your power and choice, and will equally be considered an end to the event. All outcomes are valid, positive or negative, or a mix in between. I will take whatever outcomes of the event occur and make note of them for the future.

I recommend using the OOC to coordinate with other responding players. Please use your best judgment in choosing whether to participate based on your characters' locations and current predicaments.

Most importantly, have fun!
