Looking for Interest--Fullmetal Alchemist (using Mutants and Masterminds)

[Raylis]

The movie rocked, definatly setup for another.

this sounds really awesome, I loved FMA and just picked up M&M so appeal on both sides.

If this goes forward I'd like to try my hand at Eylsia, would definatly be interesting. A bit surprised on not seeing Russel and Fletcher on the character list.

As I mentioned above, the movie is assumed not to have happened at all in the timeline of this game, and nothing in the movie is necessarily true (in fact, two small things were changed from the TV series, even). As mentioned in the first post, Fletcher is also available as a character--I just haven't statted him up yet because my Face to Face group weren't as interested in him. He still has all his good old olant alchemy tricks.

A note on Elysia--how familiar are you with the M&M ruleset? I ask this because while most of the characters (probably 100% of them except Elysia) are easily playable with 0 knowledge of the rules, Elysia is the trickiest to play (though she's totally awesome and very rewarding as well). Since you have the rules, if you are conversant in them, you may be a good choice to play Elysia all around, so that could work nicely I can post the 'public' version of Elysia, but it is not as inspiring as the full character. This is because some of her stuff (like everyone except Al) is secret

I recieved my copy a few days ago and everything has been making sense. (played Silver Age Sentinels before, M&M is much easier )

Cool--Elysia is a bit unusual in that she has a fairly-involved ability (it isn't on her public sheet though) that she can use as a Move Action (luckily, I didn't make it a free action or you'd be tempted to do it every round just for kicks!) Here's public Elysia--notice she's only got 54 of her points public, but she's still kick-ass with daggers, just like daddy

ooh. Just that little tidbit is shiny. If/when this gets going definatly want to play Elysia.

Just for kicks powers are fun, had a super hero type who could create soap bubbles-that was fun. Especially during the villanous monologue.

That sounds like it could have been pretty funny

Yeah, Elysia is one of two characters who have no alchemy (Selim is the other one), and since she and Rose have the fewest points in their public character sheets, I have taken to promising that they are indeed both awesome characters. This has worked with my Face to Face group for Elysia, as everyone wanted to play her as at least one of their top three. If I wind up playing this and you join in and Elysia seems a bit daunting, I can help you out a bit with some ideas for standard things to do

Hmmm...if stonegod comes back again and one more person shows interest, I'm going to put up a recruiting thread. I have room for 6 , but we really need four (Al, Rose, and then two members of the set {Elysia, Lust, Clara, Selim}

Alphonse Elric--If you don't know who this is, leave now

I would post an interest...mmmm, more Rystil goodness...but the quoted bit discouraged me!

Nah, only kidding, just dropping by to say I'd seen the thread...though I really would be a complete FMA newbie.

Yeah--I must say, I have two little brothers, the one I always mention when I say "my little brother has X book" and then another one who is a curmudgeon who hates all fantasy, and even he likes FMA. I used to think anime was stupid after seeing some bad ones, but FMA is awesome. Playing this game would ruin the entire series for you However, if you go watch the shows really fast, at the rate we're going, you could be done before it starts (NOTE: Rystil does not condone watching the illegal subtitled version. In fact, he actually prefers the English dubs over the subs because the translation of the text has much more interesting and better nuance, at least for the one episode the crazy 'subtitles are the one true way' fans made him watch )

Anyway, Alphonse Elric is one of the two main characters of the show, so if you didn't know his name, it means you haven't watched even a single episode. Some of the others, on the other hand, are more obscure (though Rose, although not a super-main character, does appear in Episode 1)

Another thing that's great about FMA is it's huge cast of interesting recuring characters. Who would have thought that Ross and Bloch would actually do anything and then they actually did so much. Also, there are practically zero continuity errors and inconsistancies. Oh yeah, and it's got a great soundtrack. Er, but now I'm just gushing.

There is one episode that doesn't have Ed or Al in it.
