Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Shalimar]

I finally got my laptop back from the repair shop. No more posting from a PS3 for me (Shudder), or an I-Phone (ugh); give me an actual keyboard to type with any day.

Agamon, how about Holding Back? Its not really important, and I probably wouldn't take it, but I am a bit curious since you nixed untapped potential.

Are there any rumors about a teen team being put together, or anything like that making the rounds in the UN, or where influential peole might hear about it?

 

[Agamon]

Well, UP gives you another +1 when using EE. I don't see why anyone wouldn't take that as a feat. Feats so good that it's silly for anyone not to take it are borked, IMO. Holding Back is a drawback, however. And I 'm of the "If it's a drawback, I'll make sure you know it's a drawback" school of thought.

So again, I can see where it could fit and help build drama, but I might not allow it with certain builds.

And the prevelant rumor is that the schools are there train the future teams like JL, but not necessarily a teen team. Pessimists might say it's an indoctrination camp to get young elites to think a certain way...but more on that later.

I had to think a bit about this one. On paper, there's no difference between Barcalona and Mudaba Adin. Any elite child in a UN nation can apply to the schools, and no member nations at this point are refusing to cooperate. Not everyone is accepted, but if you are, the UN foots the bill.

Are there too many elite children for the UN to accept everyone that applies? I mean you made it sound like the schools weren't close to capacity... Do the UN member nations (and non members for that matter) have their own academies for Elite children to take up the slack?

Way to tease on one of my favorite supers themes.

What I was thinking there is that the UN might not sponser a teen that can turn paper different colors, or grow their hair really fast...unless further research can show that it may be of some use to helping the global community in some way (say the start of some untapped potential...there's those words again). The UN is not being completely altruistic here...but I'm getting ahead of myself.

And not to say they turn away thousands of apps and accept only a few. There are only a relative handful of elites at this point. Not all elite powers are useful, but those of the students at the Institutes will be, and those that are deemed worthy are not turned away. But then, not all of them sign up either. The cause of the breakout from a couple years ago is not certain, but it is certain that, if the current trend continues, the number will increase as time goes by, thus the schools that are bigger than they currently need to be.

Happy you approve. I'll write up some of the current power groups later tonight. Pantheon ain't quite what she used to be...

Sorry, I implied but didn't really answer the second part of the question. There are plans in their infancy to develop schools apart from the UN, but nothing firm yet.

Well, there goes my first two character ideas.

And Shal: trying to post on the internet with a PS3 or iPhone? I think that's the new deepest circle of hell. My sympathies for your past plight.

 

[Shalimar]

The I-phone is fine for reading forums and on the go, but not when you need to do serious typing. The PS3 would be better, if I had a PS3 Keyboard, but its never come up before.

Unfortunately HP wiped my PC when the problem was completely unrelated to the hard drive. Oh well, its good to clean out the cob webs once every year or 2.

I am very much interested in joining this, if there is still space left.
