Superheroes of the Trust OOC Thread II

[Victim]

Star should start a blog.

And put what in it? Anything related to superheroing seems likely to run into security issues. And Star has tended to be somewhat reticent about many personal things even with people she otherwise trusts - IIRC, Viridian was the only one she's told about her problems with her power (not that other people would be unable to know considering the Trust's records). She thinks that revealing more of herself generally makes her less likeable.

And, in the current situation, it seems likely that she'd draw a ton of negative comments, which seems unlikely to improve her attitude.

Put whatever Star wants in it. It would help to establish us at the "cool" superheroes, the real next generation of people who protect the world. And it puts Star and the rest of the team more in touch with the man on the street (or at least guy on the internet); the team has largely avoided public attention up to this point.

And maintaining a public presence would have to work better than hiding yourself away like all of those dark vigilantes in the 80s. Mention how you're cooperating with the police investigation into KB's death, etc.

 

[Victim]

Maybe.

I wouldn't say we've been entirely news-shy, especially with people like Nitro. But that's someone who was already somewhat famous.

 

[Victim]

Were we going to move to ATT?

 

[Hammerhead]

Maybe not mid-thread, at least.

Were we going to move to ATT?

Once you guys leave the base/take action, we will move.

Kirinke -- You can't keep making stuff up about the world that is clearly mission-relevant. If Hope would know something, declare a knowledge check and I'll give the answer.

Noted. And next time I will

(Hammerhead -- the Janjaweed are a real group, and are the ones primarily responsible for the genocide in Darfur. They are not a supervillain team)

Yeah, I guess that's what I get for not watching/reading the news. However, Errant is probably not so willfully ignorant, so I'm going to do a slight edit to my post. In order to free a necromancer from an extradimensional prison and wipe out an entire superteam, chances are they've got some kind of supervillain backup.

Actually, rereading my post, I never really said that they were a supervillains, but yeah, I was totally ignorant they were a real life organization.

I've been talking with Matt about Hope and I've decided to retire her, because she just isn't working well with the group dynamic.

I'm considering creating a Telikenetic elementalist, one who can manipulate ice, cold, air, earth and water through a form of telikenisis. Nothing magical or mystical, her powers are plainly mutant in nature.

BACK GROUND
Elysia comes from a powerful and wealthy family of mutants. Both of her parents are missonaries, using their wealth and powers to help impoverished and stricken countries like Ethiopia. Her father is a native of Greece, her mother is a United States citizen and Elysia was born in the US, giving her a dual-status in both countries. Growing up in Ethiopia, she developed her powers early and was trained in them practically since she could toddle upright. When Barrington's forces started to invade Ethiopia, her parents stood up to fight, but were greviously injured and evacuated. Elysia chose to stay, using her knowledge of the area and her own abilities to confound and delay the enemy, earning her the nickname Dambudzo or Trouble.

Her basic ability is telikensis, which she uses to manipulate fire and earth and associated effects. This is because her doctor father is a powerful telikenetic and fire controller and her botanist mother is a powerful earth/plant controller. Way back on her mother's side of the family, there were several strong telepaths, however, in her, this ability is latent, but it's enough to give her the ability to communicate with intelligent creatures as well as being able to understand any written language
