Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

[Agamon]

You know, a friend and I have considered what a society where the height of male fashion was tights would end up looking like. We ended up with an odd sort of superhero setting totally obsessed with amateur sports for both the usual reasons and as a personal fitness program geared towards looking good in those oh-so-stylish tights. We figured that in such a global social locker room, notions of personal space have probably taken a hell of a beating.

...interesting topic of discussion, that must have been.

Well, he and I had fun. We ended up rationalizing a lot of genre conventions very quickly. We agreed that the world we were arriving at would be pretty scary and we'd not want to live there, but you could knock together a viable near-future superhero setting out of it...if your players had a high tolerance for being creeped out.

I think our future could be worse than every male other myself wearing tights. Sorry, but I have standards, no matter how much fashion may sink into the depths of depravity. Although really, in many ways, it would be something of an improvement; nowadays most fashion items seem to simply rehashing things from earlier decades. I'm still waiting for the damn tie to go out of style.

The mission against Genocide is going way too well. How does Possession work again? Genocide doesn't get a save every round, does he?

By the way, Toki, the Legacy team is a civil organization, not a military one, correct? IE, no court martials or the like. Another question...is being on the Legacy team in any way linked to attending or living at the Institute?

Well, we presumed that some segment of the population would not be persuaded by the new trends, especially as they would be at least strongly associated with a relatively extreme fitness craze and general athleticism. Not everyone is going to sign on, and not everyone would be welcome. Fat guys in tights would still be out. Anyway, the dystopia was more with the high school sports cult on steroids vibe that came off the society as a consequence of the fashion.

I'm waiting for the tie to go out of style too. What a stupid piece of clothing. Fashion in general isn't exactly sensible, or even sane. Ever see a woman who's crammed her toes into those tiny points for decades? I have. She'd permanently dislocated her middle toes so they wedged up against the rest of her foot and pointed straight down. The two toes flanking were almost as bad, but angled in under the middle. I tell you, it's western foot-binding. But I digress. At least ties don't cause permanent deformity.

Of course, the practice mission is going to go exactly as we plan. I'm betting the real thing goes nothing like this.

With Posession, Anika gets him for 1 minute, then he gets a save every round (without the cumulative +1 bonus per round as long as she keeps the effect sustained). Up until then, if she makes him do anything he's totally against doing, he gets another save (with a bonus if it's major).

Being a violent guy, she's going to keep fighting with him, and just redirect the target of his aggression (and hope neither of the two unknowns are loved ones or something...).

Oh crap, I bet Toki gave him a basket of kittens on the premises for just this occasion. When we find them, we'll want to take them with us and Genocide just wants to have a nice snack.

Legacy vs. the Cute!

It is for the most part a sub-division of the UN forces, but a civil arm. People don't get court martialed, or what have you. But you can be suspended, censured, and punished for actions on and off-duty so to speak.

Legacy at the moment, is tied to the Institute.

Ryan rolled a 23 attack, the Telepath rolled a 20, she was stunned and bruised, the aura knocks her out, she rolls a 10 Toughness save.


I forgot that in the game post.

For some reason when I think of the Cassie/Chance thing the whole 'Cleavage girl' clone issues from Supermegatopia comes to mind. Must be because it's a monday.

Can Kelly tell that the other students don't actually believe her?

I have 3pp left unspent, if its ok with you I'd like to spend them now.
I'm going to spend 1pp on Ultimate Effort: Diplomacy
Spend a 2nd pp on 4 ranks of diplomacy, this doesn't actually raise her bonus, it just means that she would affect males and females equally, making her attractive feat superfluous mechancis wise.

Saving the last pp, unless you'd be willing to let me buy a specialized HP that would only work to power my 2 Ultimate Efforts feats.
