Gaming W/Jemal: Mutant Rising OOC (Game has started!)

[renau1g]

Well, things look to be coming along fairly well, does anybody have anymore questions? How do you guys feel about starting soon?

Gordo's ready to try and turn his life around, I just hope this whole superhero business doesn't get in the way

 

[Arkhandus]

Red Impulse ready to go. Though I'm still not sure what kind of connections he might have to anyone besides Kid Super. Didn't have much to go on earlier.

 

[Shayuri]

Agh! Who was it that Cass did the interview with/article on?

I liked that idea for a link in. Heck, maybe even more than one of you.

Or if any of y'all are into weird things, perhaps you read her blog.

Ya know.. that's an interesting thought. I bet every super in the world has been webcrawling for info on supers since this started. There are probably blogs and groups springing up everywhere full of supers, wannabe supers, fanboys and crazies.

The odds of Roy being on a local group are high. Heck he might even have started a 'kid super' facebook page...

 

[Shayuri]

Which brings up another question.

Are we starting out super, or developing powers in the game? If we're starting out super, how long have we been?

The pregame teaser made it seem quite recent.

 

[Arkhandus]

It was Dusk, except Relique had to drop out, so that angle's not so good now....

The way I'll be opening will be to give a bunch of 'links', IE stuff happening around town that one or more of you may be involved with. I'm currently looking through your background info and the links you've formed with each other for ideas on how to tie you into things. Basically my opening post will be a couple of "in this part of the city, this is happening" leads, and you can each feel free to decide where it would make most sense for your character to show up. (Some of you will have more obvious choices than others).

As of my opening post, you'll all have had powers for no more than a month. If you want it to be less, that's up to you. Heck, even if somebody wants to just develop their powers in game that's fine too. Now, someone asked a while ago what 'time' it is. I'm thinking early summer, school is going to be letting out soon (Not sure when high schools let out in the states). Kid Super's gonna have to worry about studying for his finals while he tries to save the world - Like teens don't have enough things to worry about nowadays, eh?


OH BTW, if any of you feel like/want to write in (non-super powered) NPC's feel free and give me a bit of a personality/background to work with and I'll run their ends of convo's with you, try to get a bit more in depth gaming going. I do foresee some solo stuff happening with the way this game is set up, and that'll help keep things moving.

I'll try to get the game started this week, just need a bit more time to go through the character bios.

Added an image of Nighshift to his listing in the Cast thread. Thanks Andor for reminding me Hero Machine existed! I highly recomend it, and it's freee too! HeroMachine 2.5 - The Ultimate Fantasy Entertainment Hero Machine Generator | UGO.com

EDIT: oh, and not a strong link, but let's note the vet hall can be placed pretty much anywhere, say in front of/right besides a certain comic book shop? Rawling could then at least know Red Impulse by sight, maybe even bought a few things from him as a gift for his war amp charges (he'd need some serious advice there )? Plus, if the store is not wheelchair accessible, Nightshift would have had a few things to say about that to the manager (sort of a neighborhood watch thing for him)... Anything else comes to mind?

EDIT: A simple way to connect could be to say you're neighbours/live in the same building/whathaveyou. Red Impulse, Kid Super and Shayuri's reporter all come from the same type of background for example (young, school, low means). Wouldn't be a stretch to think they could live in the same neighbourhood as well.

Roy's friends and family.

The Band

Lisa - 16 5'5" blond hair, green eyes
Lead singer of the band. Roy has had a crush on her for a couple of years now but is too shy to do anything about it. She like to dress barbie dolls in rocker outfits and rides a vespa.

Chad - 17 6'2" Dark hair, brown eyes
Big, gentle, black guy. He plays the keyboard in the band and is the tech geek as well. Probably the smartest of the group he also manages the bands website. Like turtlenecks and Dr. Pepper, drives an ancient and rusty sedan.

Bob - 16 5'4" dark hair, blue eyes
Bob is the short, angry, drummer. He likes to argue for the fun of it, but is a loyal friend. A huge fan of chinese food, he has an old Harly-Davidson sportster he's been working on for 2 years now. It's going to run any day now, he swears it.

Family

Dad - John Ellings is an engineer at a local HVAC plant. He's a private man who tends to be pretty conservative.

Mom - Judy Ellings works as an elementary school teacher, and is active in the community.

Elder brother - John Ellings (jr), 3 yrs older than Roy. He's in the army, currently serving wherever the GM pleases.

Little sister - Amy Ellings is 14 and discovering boys. Roy's protective older brother instincts are starting to kick in.

Andor - Exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. If you could add that to the end of your character sheet in the rogues gallery, it'll make it easier for me to find when needed.

Binder - I like that idea. OK, from now on the vet hall is right across the street from the comic book shop.
