Good Superhero-Game?

[Michael Tree]

<This talk of Hosiris makes me wonder when people will realize that Thor, god of Thunder was really the mighty god of breaking weapons...he just had a terrrible lisp...>

Ha! Don't tempt me. There's enough godly weirdness going on, what with lovecrafting elder gods buried under the school, and their history teacher being Ares, Greek god of war and slaughter. (He's big on the gruesome violent battles aspects of history, and especially disliked the backtalk from the smartass genius dog).

The characters are all students at the Empire Valley Institute of Learning, a school run by a "reformed" villianous leader for the children of supervillains. The PCs, in a fit of adolescent rebellion, naturally became heroes. Though I'm still not sure about the dog.

I usually spell it "Joseirus", but yours works too.

His full name is Jose Pacifico Juan-Maria Ramirez. And he's a devout Catholic...

Ah, I couldn't remember how you spelled it.

He created quite a stir when, after accidentally throwing an unconscious schoolmate half a mile into the air, he flew over to Freedom City's Catholic Cathedral for confession. In his flaming chariot radiant with glory. Soaring through the front door past the massed worshippers. And emerging with the elderly archbishop in his chariot and flying into the sky. All broadcast on television.

Some day there may be a Catholic St. Joseirus, patron of Ancient Egyptian Gods of Mexican Wrestlers.

I had no idea *that* was the name of our school. That's beautiful. And by beautiful I mean awful.

Though I'm still not sure about the dog.

He's beyond good and evil. Or perhaps he's Hund und Überhund. Either way, he still can't pass basic typing...

Joseirus was trying to throw the alien spike-stinger appendage buried in his head half a mile into the air. The fact that his body went with it was an unfortunate accident. I got it right on the second try. Well, righter.

Didn't he want to become the next Dr. Doom anyway?

Now that hurts my brain!

 

[Thotas]

Um, guys, part of me is afraid to ask ... but the rest of me insists. STAT BLOCK!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

what with lovecrafting elder gods buried under the school,

That should make biology class very interesting.

"Hey teach- why do all the hamsters have fishy eyes? For that matter...so do the chickens...and the bean plants..."

Chem might be freaky too.

"Class, today, we're combining some unusual elements to see what we get: Calcium + Thorium + Hydrogen + Lutetium + Ununumium...in other words, we're making CaThHLuUuu today."

and their history teacher being Ares, Greek god of war and slaughter. (He's big on the gruesome violent battles aspects of history

ARGH! Athena (Minerva) would have made a better history teacher (Wisdom & War were her thing)...Ares (Mars) should have been the Gym/Football coach!

Let he who is without NPCs named Dr. Mephisophocles, Tawny Portal and St. Gorge throw the first stone.

Righter?! You threw away part of his face with it!

I wish it were Athena. My PC Chris had to sit through a class with Ares right after he noticed I was wearing the bracers of Hercules. That went down really well with him, as you can imagine. Luckily Joseirus was playing on his gameboy at the back of the class and got caught, which took some of the attention off Chris.

Or maybe Joseirus got caught in science class. Where the teacher is Doctor Octopus, BTW.

Our game also takes place with us as students of a school, but our School anagram is NOT E.V.I.L..

The head of cheerleading is the bbeg, big bad evil girl. =)

Who's casting stones? By 'awful' I meant beautiful. It all comes full circle.

Heh, I still have to write up the whole legend of the Serpent and St. Gorge, detailing how the saint saved Narayan by besting the Serpent Oroborus in an eating contest...

Righter?! You threw away part of his face with it!

Yes, but part of his face and all of his body stayed behind.

We should do a crossover! Chris vs. The Girl Who Hit Back!

It could be an annual or something.

Chris woud hit a girl who hits back, right shil?

Dr. Mephisophocles

Does he have rivals named Triple-Aeschylus and Dr. Whoripides? Does he have a sidekick named Eristotle? Does he know the speedster named Nietzscheetah?

Mephisophocles is from my D&D game, so he doesn't pal around with superheroes.

He's Professor of Ineffable Inquiry and Un-natural Philosophy at the University of Narayan in Narayan:CITY (CITY is 10 cities interconnected by magic gates). He does have a familiar named Doubting Thomas, a colleague named Gaspard Obeserai Illigitamo, a nemesis named Nadir Akmad-Medhi (who's truely the lowest of the low) and an undergraduate in love with him by the name of Dalenda Wrothchilde, from an ancient family of pirates turned winemakers.

CITY does sport an ethnic group called the Polyneecheeans; brown-supremacist Hawaian-esque tribal fascists who worship a volcano...

Dude, she's a maniac. She can lift like the sun and moon, and is indestructible. OMG. Yes, she hits back too! Lol!

I have to fight her soon. I'm not looking forward to it. I dont know if I can hurt her with full power attack and extra effort combined. Its gonna be ugly.

If any Greek-Artifact-stealing woman beaters wanted to help, I wouldnt say no. Of course, my character is also a girl(and 16, to boot, I mean beat..I mean doh!) so not if he's gonna hit me, anyway!
