Gaming W/Jemal: Mutant Apocalypse (Recruitment always open)

Yes fair point.... however I think we've gotten badly off topic


On topic I seem to be having trouble with a alternate character concept everything seems to overlap someone already in the party... So I'm like looking all around for ideas today.

We don't have a science type character, nor tough hero either. You don't need to be super strong, I mean, who needs super strength if you have a gun? =P
Vittorio might be immortal but he doesn't take too much punishment before going down. We also don't have a heavy hitter. Frost is kind in the middle of both.
Hmmm plant control? Poison Ivyshly perhaps
Mind control? we don't have prof X neither.

Cass is reasonably tough, and hits fairly hard. She's designed as an 'all arounder' though, not a specialist.

There could be room for a shapeshifter in the team. Someone able to easily assume alternate forms and appearances, combined with Uomo's moxie and Grid's ability to falsify ID's, would allow nearly unlimited infiltration ability. Such a character could also be quite formidable in combat via shapeshifted natural weapons and regeneration that's common to the concept.

Or you could look into the Illusion power...I have a character in another game who's focusing on permutations of that, and it's promising to be entertaining. Not a powerhouse build, but tricky as hell and loads of fun.

Ok I'm liking the Shapeshifter... that has the abiltiy to step on the toes of ALL the party members not just one

Rather than animal forms I'm thinking a copycat power... Take on the power and appearence of the most recently touched person or material.


Actually I'm gonna go totally punny on the name... Katrina "CopyCat" Hallman

Ok, I come to discover there's already a marvel character named copycat... but seeing as they have like all the english words tied up, I don't have a problem copycatting copycat if no one else does.

Funny you should mention Illusion. I was leaning towards a mentalist of that persuasion in reformulating a character concept.

Ideally, if its not too wide or strange a concept I'd like to play a teenager who was institutionalized because he could see, or claimed he could see, into the 'mental plane'. This mental plane is essentially a jumble of complex ideas in physical but non-euclidean form. While in the psychiatric hospital, he eventually managed to identify a couple of these objects/ideas, and pull them into the physical world. Or perhaps the mental plane doesn't exist and the objects are just a manifestation of his mutant power, its debatable. The first of these object would be 'the sleep of reason', providing access to mental Illusions and Mind Control. The second object would be 'invincible ignorance' providing resistible Invisibility and some defenses.

Sound workable? Sound workable enough that I could add a third object at this point usable only to stab people with?

I love these off-topic scientific discussions hehe , anyways I was planning for Laura to be a tank a while back, but that was when tin-man was playing. So now trying to work on that as much as possible if that helps at all. She doesn't have high standards of strength, nor imperviousness, but working on that. And for those who play with me in other games, yes I <3 the high str, tanky tank.

 

[Moon_Goddess]

Well one thing I liked about the mimic I'm building is I can do the infiltration stuff by mimicking a person, or I can do the tank by mimicking stone or steel

Sound workable enough that I could add a third object at this point usable only to stab people with?

Why? Aint a dagger pointy enough?

well, my PC has the CS "Copycat" but the odds are, in RL, someone, sooner or latter, will also be using your name/monicker
