Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren is a little taken back by the nomination, but thinks on it as the others share their opinions. "From what I have seen, a little coordination would do us all good. I wouldn't mind aiding in a little tactical advantage, as I think that I am the least offensive, no pun intended, of the lot of us. Besides, working on a playbook of sorts would be good to get a handle on each of our strengths and weaknesses. Let's get some rest on this ride back, and let's all of us think of ways to help each other out, personally. Once we have those ideas, send them to me and I'll see what I can compose as far as plays go. I'll be asking for feedback as well."

"As for naming maneuvers, I think we can all have part in that. I got a few ideas on how to aid each other in attacks and such, so having a place to try them out would be nice. I seem to be more intent on keeping us all alive in battles, and not on attacking, so it might work best this way. Nitro's gonna be busy with brute force for the most part, Star is the aerial fighter and speedster of us. My powers and training might be best suited for a role of coordinator or leader, but I would like to know if everyone would be okay with it first."

Wren hopes that the others might take him up on this little job, as he would like to effectively work on some tactics that they could all use. As for coordinating them, that's going to be a chore, but one worth exploring.

"I'm all for giving it a try and seeing how it works. I don't think it's so much we're having you be a -leader- in that you give us orders so much as we're asking you to help coordinate us in fights," Viridian opines. "Outside of a fight, we seem to do okay for the most part. Only, instead of writing things down and giving them to you, we should actually TRY doing things. Like, when Star shoots those fireballs, I could make a bunch of illusionary fireballs too. It could make it harder to dodge the real ones. But we'd have to practice it to get the timing right and all. And it might turn out that anyone fast enough to dodge Star's attacks is way too fast for me to threaten, so the illusions don't have any real effect on things. We'd have to try it to be sure."

Megan frowns and whispers back, "I don't want to talk about it right now." It'll just start making me angry again. Star's taste in music could be generously described as diverse or eclectic. An alternative explanation would be that she's seemingly incapable of disliking songs. (I don't really have the knowledge or inclination to be more specific about what she's listening to at any given moment. )

"No. Not me." Like I can handle any more stress. I'm not really sure about Wren either - he's defensive yes, but that's sort of confining. Still might be the best choice though. Hmm, combination ideas...

"I'm not sure that I miss enough for that to be worthwhile. If you could distract someone so Nitro could land a more solid hit, that might be better. Or pick people up and hold them still so everyone can punch or shoot them. I was also considering ways to manipulate shadows. We should be able to move or define shadows as much by creating light as by creating darkness directly. By shining a bright light at something, we can create sharply defined shadow behind it, right?" She pauses, assuming that Apollo or someone digging out their flashlight would provide a demonstration. "So if we get the angles and timing right, Nightweaver might be able to get enough darkness from our target's shadow to max her powers as we attack even without favorable environmental conditions."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. With writing them down, it's easier to get everyone's opinion, unbiased, as they can read up the info on their own time, privately. With everyone talking at once, we see where that gets us. Leader is a strong word, but tactician might be more appropriate in battle terms. As for combos, I like the ideas. Both Hope and I can easily create objects, and with enough teamwork on timing, we should be able to get Nightweaver some nice chances at some shadow attacks. How precise are you on controlling shadows? Say I made an Axe out of cosmic energy. Would you be able to have the shadow of the axe be a weapon on its own? If so, we can double up on attacks."

"As for the setting up Nitro, I can snare a few people for some easy knock out punches for him. But like Viridian says, it's easy to come up with ideas. The hard part is working on the fluidity of the attacks. That's where trial and error come into play. I might work on some new alternatives for my powers as well, as I think a little more offensive power is needed. But, with me not being fully offensive in battles, that leaves me the chance to have the chance to keep an eye on the battle and coordinate the rest of us"

"I've sort of been looking on past battles and I think I'm what you'd call a ranged fighter. While I'm strong, I'm not that tough physically. I mean, Star can take more abuse than I can." she frowned, trying to think up of something that could help. "I think alot of my mistakes is trying to go into close combat. I'm not much of a flyer, but maybe I could practice on that."

"My ability is creating darkness-black out an area, binding tendrils. I've never been particularly good at animating or manipulating already cast shadows. I haven't really tried since I was a kid-you'll laugh but seeing Peter Pan once was enough to make me give up the idea alltogether.

If I put some time into it I could probably do it.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

"That binding might help out Nitro with disabling some foes. Star won't need the binding of opponents, as her orbs seem to be able to get where needed, when they're needed. Apollo, how's that guitar work? Seems like a straight forward bow and arrow when needed. What about up close and personal?"

"That part always scared me to death as a kid," Hope admitted. "I mean, the idea of actually having to sew your shadow back on after it got loose..... Brrr." Hope shivered at the idea.

"You know, I've kinda been working on creating tornadoes. Not big ones, but more like really strong whirlwinds to kinda offset my lightening and hail attack. Sort of a mid-range between the two." she looked at their concerned reactions.

"Relax, I've been doing it at the AEGIS labs, under very close supervision." she looked rueful.
"I just haven't quite mastered it yet and have sort of been um.... Hesitant to use it, because they tend to turn out larger than I want."

ooc:
I think I've settled on Tornado as an alternate power. I'm going to add Variable to her main blast and Conjure Ice ability too.

 

[Vanifae]

Apollo nods, "Roger babe." He casually puts his arm around her and relaxes, "Whatever we decide is cool with me."

Nitro is excited. "And we could name the maneuvers after what we plan to do, like the "Flying Fake Left Jab then hit with Right Hook" Attack, or "Illusionary Fireballs then the real thing" attack. It works really well on TV."

No one really wants to know more about my powers. Don't they care that I just recently perfected my technique on the 3-football fields at a time long jump? Well, not everyone appreciates true craftsmanship.
