[MM2e] Salton City Needs Heroes! - OOC [CLOSED]

[hafrogman]

I'm curious because this is the second wish answer answered non-seriously.

My original idea was simply for the answers to reveal something about the character's personality. If the characters is a sarcastic smart-ass, expect smart-ass responses. If the character has an over-inflated sense of dignity, expect serious answers.

However you think your character would respond.
Joke (a dozen more wishes)
Beauty Pageant (I'd wish that all people, the world over, could live in harmony together. And for more puppies.)
Over Analytical (Well, really it would depend on the limitations of the wish. Assuming none, and assuming only one wish, you really must balance the possible consequences of your actions against the benefits. Wish for an end to disease? Overpopulation. Wish for an end to war? Do we become defenseless? Give me a day or so, and I'll get back to you.)
Psychotic (I'd wish, that just ONCE, just for a FREAKING moment, the voices would STOP YELLING!!!!)

hee hee...I should also say that asking Kitsune a question and expecting a serious answer is generally an exercise in futility. Except when it's not. Which is sometimes.

Keiko sees the show pretty much just as just a chance for publicity and to gain some notice after having taken an embarrassing and public fall. She's not going to be taking it very seriously. Not at first anyway. We'll see how things develop.

It would be interesting if one of the other PC's was involved in her capture too...

1. My ability to heal fairly quickly. It’s nice to know that if I get harmed in any way that the pain won’t last for very long.
2. I consider myself to be my worst fear and enemy. I always manage to piss people off and my desire to keep things civil fizzles when confronted or pushed into things I don’t want to do.
3. I honestly don’t know. I have a strong sense of self preservation and a strong desire for the good will of humanity. I’m guessing that my desire to live would trump saving the world.
4. The ability to heal people. If I could I’d most likely be at or would have started up a clinic of my own.
5. My childhood was typical of those of little girls. My abilities didn’t manifest until I became a teenager. I never really gave any thought to being a hero, I just wanted to survive.
6. I want people to see me as I really am. There’s so much hype about the maniac that I am behind closed doors. I do have a sensitive side and I want people to see that I can behave and act cultured when not pressed.
7. I should hope that humanity would evolve past the need to spread hatred, fear and violence. I’m not exactly a shining example of that but I do know that if people can get past themselves and help those that can’t help themselves that there is a spark in the darkness. That’s all there needs to be. If that spark can light up enough people and those people help more people and so on then there is a chance of humanity to come out of the dark.
8. What do I want to see? I don’t think that matters so much as being only a participator. The viewers are who is important. I certainly don’t wish for anyone to die.
9. I’d say that they have the right to have their opinion. The fact of the matter is that there are some of us that wish to help. If the government eventually decrees that use of powers is illegal without being employed by them or a properly sanctioned job, than superhumans might not have any choice but to work for the government or in a sanctioned field.
10. I’d wish that for those that have more wealth than the average working person to look past themselves and only live off enough money to get by and use the rest of their wealth to help the less fortunate.
11. Phil Collins. To quote him in his Land of Confusion song;
    
    

    There's too many men, too many people
    Making too many problems
    And there's not much love to go around
    Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
    
    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we're given
    Use them and let's start trying
    To make it a place worth living in​

    
    There is a lot of truth in this. My presence here on the show is partly inspired by the song; I intend on using that hands I was given to make the world a better place.

Claws (10pp total)
Strike 2 (Extra: Penetrating 4 [+1]; Power Feats: Improved Critical, Mighty*, Split Attack; 9pp)

* Right now this attack does 3 damage (2 +1 STR damage) and does up to 4 Penetrating Damage.

Taking out Split Attack, what is the total cost then? And would it be possible to increase the rank of Strike to 5?

Well, it's seems unlikely that Ten would have been involved. But if nobody else takes you up, you're welcome to borrow either or both of his parents for the task. Especially if you were causing problems in the EU.

Speaking of my parents. . .

[sblock=For Relique]So he's a good guy, sure. But just how boyscout is Archeon supposed to be?

Because I had this idea that when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Archeon was there protecting the villagers. . . leading to a number of *ahem* grateful peasant girls being very. . . grateful. The early 40's would then have seen a number of births recorded to single village girls who then turned out to be the first generation of Polish heroes. Including the man who would be Ten's grandfather.

Just an odd little flavor bit that struck my fancy.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Parents has potential.

Or I could even have an NPC nemesis...that superhero who just won't believe I've gone straight. Moohoohahahaha...

Oh, and headquarter features...

Karoke machine! Vehicles are always appreciated...especially fast ones. Crime computer? That is...a computer for STOPPING crime, not committing it. That would be wrong.

Ginnel - About shapeshifty...perhaps his powers are tied to the idea of the universal unconscious...an ability to manifest personas from television as they exist in a broad spectrum of human minds. In ages past he might have shifted to Achilles as he appeared in epic poems, or representations of gods and myths. Now these iconic ideas are conveyed in televised characters, but their power is undiluted. I think he'd have freedom to act as he pleases, but it would be hilarious if it was all through the filter of the character...so he could turn into Mr. Rogers and still fight, but probably very politely and apologetically.

Relique, are the answers to the questions supposed to be serious in any regard?

I'm curious because this is the second wish answer answered non-seriously.

It only depends on how your character would view the questions. Does she think these are merely "joke" questions or are they really meant to delve into her character/personality, or were they just random things thrown out by some insane pre-production crew member who thought he could create inspiring tv by aiming for both humor and drama.

Rev -
Interesting answers. You do realize that the producers might decide to buy air rights of Phil Collins music to play when every your character is on screen. They also think they could try to spin public view of Michelle as being the victim (after all her answers were not so violent).

8pp.

Yes.

Public Perception is that he's a boyscout.

Spoiler

However, there are rumors about why an immortal hero would not damask himself after over 60 years of service and most of those rumors do not involve retrobution or war crimes
