Generation Legacy OOC Thread Part 2

[Hammerhead]

Actually, remember Metatron's purge? It could be Tommy is part of that. Or that he wasn't, and the ex-members of Pantheon are all really mad at him...if I recall, neither Phase or Surge made the cut. It could also be that Overseer hired those two to take care of a problem.

I think that their agreement very well might. Because then they fall into the trap, instead of scouting things more as Anika would suggest, and Ryan gets captured. The Overseer then uses Ryan to 'do something bad' (tm) and the world is destroyed.

Ahh the Pantheon Purge... that should be cool

 

[Agamon]

Yoshi and Ryan just agreed to something.... hmm... this may just initiate the end of all creation...

If Anika gets much more upset, that could be so...what's that they say about a woman's scorn?

 

[Hammerhead]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Unfortunately for Anika, and the rest of the world, she's likely to grow even more upset. I certainly wouldn't envy Mark right now I mean, playing peacemaker...heck, taking down Strength will be easy.

 

[Tokiwong]

For some reason I just think your problems are just beginning...

 

[Victim]

Taking down Strength: easy. Keeping Strength down: much more difficult. It sounds like he's a Super Con regenerator; even if KO'd, he still gets back up next round. Also, Anika's abilities are adding in a nice dilema. Her possession is the best way to stop Strength (dang it, I keep wanting to abbreviate his name like this STR). However, if she stops him right away (to prevent damage), then the group is more vulnerable to illusions.

I'm not so sure about Tommy and the Pantheon Purge. It seems somewhat telling that the JE hasn't caught Metatron despite their informant - like Tommy is only feeding the UN some information (like enough to purge out unwanted elements). On the other hand, some of the people that get caught seem like the kind of people Cardinal would want to keep. Why save Bishop from Mexico City if you're just going to throw him to the wolves a few weeks later? Especially if you're a precog. Similarly, even though Phase was a mercenary, she seemed to be more dedicated after MC - and even if she wasn't, she still has more professionalism than most elites. Maybe Tommy is throwing all the people who know too much about him into the Purge list or something.

One thing about the current Legacy situation is that how they react to hostages and bystanders will determine in part how others use those things against them. If threatening non combatants is a get away free card against Legacy, then it will be used against them and people will get hurt. On the other hand, taking hostages against the Russians isn't going to be worth the effort and keeps you pinned down. But it's funny seeing how people come down on different sides of the issue.

Kick him squaw in the nuts.

Your hitting the nail on the head here... Tommy is using the UNJE to eliminate dangerous elements to himself within Pantheon, if anything, even if it is not wholly successful it only builds up more hatred between the two forces, therefore keeping them occupied with each other... btw you will be seeing Cardinal sooner then later...

I am curious to see how this plays out, Justice Elite is split on this issue too... Paragon is willing to sacrifice innocents for objectives, and write off as necessary, while Kensei would be much more selective, and hesitant to do so...

Kick him squaw in the nuts.

Now if only it were that easy.

I miss the old Tommy...the young kid who had action figures and thought Mark was cool. Not this new Tommy, who manipulates everyone as if they were action figures. Still, no matter how smart he is, he's received the kiss of death for every Pantheon member: he's dating Kelly Mitchell. That alone spells his doom (Neuro, Rei, anyone else seeing a pattern?)

Ryan falls somewhere in between Paragon and Kensai, when it comes to "collateral damage."

 

[Tokiwong]

All great men are doomed to die before their ambitions are truly realized...

 

[Victim]

Ryan should be in the clear then, except that he doesn't seem to have ambitions beyond beating up the people after him.

Kelly is annoying me (even more than before ). She's so weak, and isn't realizing when Tommy is making fun of her.

Also, I don't think the old Tommy was just a facade hiding the real Tommy. While I think the only inside look on his actions comes when he's making Star, he doesn't seem so plotting and manipulative there. Also, he's commenting about how weird his constant datalink is. Maybe the information overloard pushed him over the edge (INT >> WIS)?

Kicking STR in the nuts won't be enough. Set him on fire afterwards.
