Just bumping to keep it in our thoughts. Looking forward to the OCE.

More bumping.

Does anyone need help with their character?

What do you say to starting an IC thread just so those of us who are done can start RP-ing? Also is it worth asking if the people who we're waiting on still want to play? Have we heard from anyone besides reaper?

I think I'll go to Rogue's right now and just wing myself a history. It doesn't have to be a novel, does it.

Nope. Mine is only about a page I think, and that's probably more than necessary. So long as we know who you are, why you've got powers, and what you do.

 

[Dalamar]

Done. Stop the timers. Let's see... 25 minutes, including the time to get there, write, get back and watch TV when doing all that.

Sorry folks. RL has been extremely busy lately.

I think I've got the final concept down for my character, but I'm having a hard time putting him down stat-wise. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyway, here's some background:
He was formerly known as Rubber Boy, kid sidekick to the Incredible Colossal Man-Mountain, and along with his mentor he was a founding member of New York City's Freedom Squad.

Now that he's grown up, Rubber Boy has decided to strike out on his own on the left coast. Given his shapechanging abilities, his true name and his past have always been shrouded in mystery (even the Freedom Squad doesn't know his true identity). This has led to his new superhero moniker: NE1.

When NE1 first got to California, he settled in Hollywood, getting work as a stand-in / body double both on- and off-screen for a number of powerful movie and rock stars. He has nurtured this side profession into a substantial income and a growing list of influential contacts.

He has joined the Orange County Eight because he sees it as his chance to finally lead a group of heroes (whether or not the rest of the group feels this way ). He flaunts his wealth, reputation and experience constantly because he thinks it impresses people.



That's about what I've got right now. Looking at Smart/Charismatic hero with the Personality AdvClass, then enough HrPs to give him shapechanging/morphing abilities like Mystique in X-Men.

Any pointers would be helpful and I'm sorry for being so late with this

Okay, the first thing to decide is how many levels of hero you want (also whether or not you want to start with the advanced class). Are there any powers you want besides shapeshifting (page 84, cost 5 HrPs)? If that's the only power then you only need one level of hero (and you've got 3 points left over as well).

For base classes definitely charismatic if you want to take Personality. If you take a second base class, then I'd ask what is it that your hero uses to fight? Strength, speed, stamina, wits, perception, or charm? Take the corresponding base class. Picking one by which talents you'd like to have is another option, or what I find myself doing a lot with d20 Modern is picking according to what set of class skills I need (though you can adjust a little bit by picking an occupation to add class skills).

Hopefully I'm not pointing out the obvious here

Hey folks!!

The game will start Wednesday!!

Please have your character finished by then.

Mirthcard, NE1 sounds really cool.

 

[Krizzel]

Hey folks!!

The game will start Wednesday!!

Alright!!

I've actually been thinking of putting up my superhero game. I guess I won't be able to start it before yours though. I was thinking of starting at first level and playing through the various origins - what do you think of that?
