Project Daedalus OOC Thread II

Now, while Tyrone's Charisma is pretty good, it just falls flat on its face around Misha

Yup, but it's not just charisma, but how you use it. I've invested enough skill points to only be marginally behind him in the areas of diplomacy and such. He's definitely the 'natural' about it though.

And I dislike pie, becuase it is friggin' hard to get sugar free pie.

Unless someone is trying to specifically convince someone of something, I just tend to go on straight Charisma bonus, but even so, he is still better at diplomacy, I'd also like to say that while I like Tyrone, his personality just grates on Rachel, its not personal or anything, he just is not gonna jive with the upbringing she has, so he most likely has a penalty of like -2 to her, but thats not to say she cannot be convinced of stuff by him, he just needs to approach it right.

But wouldn't the wolf nature of Rachel's personality be pretty boggled by Misha.

I mean in her eyes he should be the Alpha and Tyrone the Beta. But he isn't actively trying to take the position, which would confuse the heck out of her, leading her to believe he is a lone wolf, which is not a good thing to other wolves.

Misha is a natural... but in the same James Bond or Batman are naturals... cool under fire... smooth, but often loners by nature... he could be a leader but I never intended for him to be a leader in the Superman kind of sense... that is what Tyroc is, he leads by example... Misha can learn to respect that...

Misha isn't a role model... he has the high charisma because he can get people to trust him, or awe them, or scare them, he can read people, and he can manipulate people. I picked Leadership feat because he has training in small squad tactics, and can effectively help people to do their best... it works well with his Assessment feat... he can find weakness and help the team exploit it

Hope everyone has had a happy 4th of July...Independence Day for us Americans...and I guess it's a weekend for the Canadians up north, so that has to count for something.

Alternatively, for the Cripple thing, you could make it a Power Stunt that's essentially Strike +4 (Extra: Slow). It still does damage, albeit not as much as a straight attack at a more vital area.

Interestingly, Jennifer (and me personally as well) are far more drawn to Misha in this argument than Tyrone...an argument essentially started by Tyrone telling Misha to stay in the helicopter, since he was never very forthcoming about his powers.

There is a definite split in the party between the BioGen escapees and the new Aegis members, similar to the brief split between Kelly Mitchell and the rest of Legacy, who shared many common experiences. Tyrone seems to be the leader of one faction, and enjoys the backing of the BioGen escapees, while Misha was chosen as the representative of the new members. Jennifer's recent note about Tyrone only choosing BioGen escapees and AF members is particularily true. While Tyrone may not trust Jennifer, Misha, or Rachel, he should still try and include one of them, to gain that trust.

Tyrone, through his generosity at the mall, offering rides to people in his Caddy, hosting the barbeque, and stereotypical New Yorker attitude, has also probably annoyed Jennifer and Misha, two independent-minded characters. He's acting like a patron. Some people don't want help in solving their problems.

I don't pretend to understand Rachel the wolf woman.

This certainly is an interesting argument. Heck, I don't think Gen:Leg has ever had an interparty conflict this big

 

[Tokiwong]

This is quite the issue but one that I find very interesting... and obiviously everyone else does as well

 

[Calinon]

Actually, Tyroc was only considering people who could fly and potentially gain super flight for the possible go ahead group. Who it was, was just coincidental.

 

[Mimic]

As soon as I saw Misha, I figured him and Tyrone would be bumping egos, just didn't think it would be so soon.

I was about to post this, but I caught myself first, Rachel isn't all that forethougty in Beast mode, but they still are valid points, and heck, I want to know what you all think OOC what should happen to this guy.

Rachel sighs at that, not even bothering to shake her head, it was pretty obvious what she thought. "If someone is in danger I am not going to fool around playing keep away. If this guy was just some base-line with a gun, he'd already be in a bodybag, but cause he's an elite, we have to let him trash a city, possibly killing people, just so we can be humane about it. Are you gonne be the one who is out your family if he knocks over a building with people still in it? Are you going to end up in an orphanage or be bankrupt when he destroys your families store?" she asks sarcastically.

"Cops have guns for a reason, to use when its neccessary. When some guy draws on a cop, you better believe the cop is going to shoot him, looking at all the damage he's caused can you tell me his fists are less dangerous then bullets?"

Well, I'll let you guys ponder that for a bit. I'm a bit busy right now, and I don't expect another post from me until Saturday evening. Until then, get ready to rumble!
