Superheroes of the Trust OOC Thread II

[Hammerhead]

Neat. Adding my character to the Character Thread then.

Yeah, I'm sure that the other Trust officers were probably involved in Errant's recruitment too. I'm glad that the background fits well with possible future developments.

 

[Victim]

Well, that's not good. Ares was bad enough before.

I think Star is going to try to turn Killer Bee into Darth Vader instead of killing him; burn off his arms and legs, melt away his skin and face, make every breath he takes living agony. I think I like her style.

 

[Victim]

(OOC: Are you going for an accidental kill by electrocution or the knife being better than it looks? Or are you intending to fight the spirits and try to capture him.)

I was basically thinking that any hazards in the environment would be potential sources of free damage with the right attack angle. Free is good.

And her objective is more along the lines of maim/torture than either capture normally or kill. It's sort of like she's putting her own spin on the vengeance - death is too much an end to suffering to be her choice for extreme punishment.

"Isn't that a little dark for you?"

Hope is gonna do her best to stay as far away from him as possible. She definantly won't engage in anything other than witty banter with him.

Heh. At least Star will begin to understand the depths of rage someone can feel when they loose somebody they care for alot. Right now, she's where Hope was when she lost her partner. I get the feeling Star has never really had anyone truly close to her die like that, especially not right in front of her. So before, she didn't really have any concept of that kind of rage and grief.

Yeah, because having one's emotions jerked around by an external force is a great to build common understanding. Especially since being angry and violent is coming with power and some protection from injury...

Hope doesn't know that for sure yet. But she'll probably be a heck of alot more sympathetic and understanding than the others would be, I think.

 

[Victim]

Hmm, that was interesting. I was wondering if the angry spirit thing might be some trick of Barrington's - if his media attacks are painting us as out of control vigilantes, then all the better if he could one of us to act that way. Armored guy popping Killer Bee with a plasma weapon fits into that nicely.

 

[Hammerhead]

Man, that Barrington is pretty slick. Nice.

Of course, the fact that he's using PR attacks against the team is actually pretty heartening, since that means that the team still poses a significant threat to his plan, and that a more conventional attack (like using a death ray) is deemed too risky. Alternatively, he needs the team to be publicly ostracized to incite them into some action he needs to complete his plan.

 

[Victim]

Alternatively, he needs the team to be publicly ostracized to incite them into some action he needs to complete his plan.

This seems more likely. If his plan involves other people choosing to nuke something of his, then that means all options involving super powers would have to have failed or been discarded by that point.
