Sorry to do this but I have to bow out of this game, work has become a monster lately and I find that I barely have enough time to post on the games that I am playing let alone start new ones.

Which is unfortunate because this looked like it would have been a blast.

 

[Karl Green]

Hey Kid A, yep Dove is cool, PL 8, with 3:1 skill (1pp gets you 3 points for skills). Post him over in the Rogues Gallery and use spoiler tags if you want.

Hey Mimic, that's cool thanks for letting me know. Maybe later

So it looks like we have a slot open if anyone is interested. I know that Kevin want talking about it on another board, so we will see if he shows up here

Hey Karl (and everyone else!),
you said there was still room (over on the M&M boards) so I thought I'd catch up and offer a few character ideas...

Let me see if I have all the "taken" characters correct and then I'll list some choices for me!

Radiant - Huntress
garyh - Cyborg
hero4hire - Arsenal
Doc Hazard - Robin
Mordane76 - Superboy
Nuke261 - Hawk
Kid A - Dove
Mimic - Raven



My CHOICES:
Aqualad, Beast Boy/Changeling, Starfire, Terra
or what about Brainiac 5 from the Legion?


My FIRST choice is Terra, because she rocks... heheh, seriously she's my favorite.
let me know which works best and I'll work up stats for you to look at soon.

hehe all of those would be totally fine with me. I like Terra also, but it is up to you.

Terra I think would be PL9 normal skills (1:1). Aqualad, Beast Boy and Starfire all sound the same also. Brainiac 5... hmm I would think 9, with skills at 1:1 except for Science skills which would be 3:1 (plus his super-int of course).

looking at the current team again here's my breakdown on my choices (just thinking out loud)

Huntress, Arsenal, Robin
Cyborg, Superboy
Hawk & Dove

With those teammates we will have lots of "normals" with skills and gadgets (that's actually great, my first M&M test game was with Karl playing Batgirl and Superboy... as it turned out Batgirl rocked much more!)
We also have some power with Superboy, Cyborg and Hawk.
If I remember correctly Dove is a good mentalist (???)...
And Cyborg fills in a little of the Intelligence needed.

does that sound right?

here's my picks and their aid to the team...

Aqualad: if water happens then Aqualad would rule. Even though people are usually against the water guys... I've always loved Aquaman and his sidekick. He brings strength, some mental controls and an extra environment expert.

BB: shapeshifters rock... comic relief with a strong power rocks harder. BB would definately be a great addition for the team with his very broad abilities. I've thought about building him in M&M, similar to the way he's portrayed in the newer cartoon I'd probably want to FLAW his power by limiting his changing ability to only being able to change into the same critter once every major battle....... otherwise taking the "best" form all the time would be an issue to get the most out of the stats, and I've never liked that.

Starfire: Strength, Ranged attack and a fun girl, I like the dynamic Star could bring with Robin in the group. But of my choices she's the most redundant in abilities to the rest of the team I think...

Terra: another fun girl... I've always loved Terra. And I think she probably has the MOST different/effective power to add to the group. She's my favorite so far.

Brainiac 5: if Karl would allow it, and if we needed a big brain - Brainiac could be fun, having travelled from the Legion's future to end up joining the team... just a thought.


unless anyone has any suggestions, I think TERRA is my best choice.
thoughts?

Terra I think would be PL9 normal skills (1:1). .

TERRA it is then!!

so any suggestions on her powers as I start to make stats, I'm sure you know her better than me.
what are our limitations on adding to, or changing their abilities subtly?

[Karl Green]

hehe

well the cartoon netweek Teen Titan Terra is pretty close to the oringal Terra from the comic, along with her powers... except she is better looking in the cartoon (she had buck teeth in the comics ewww)

So Elemental Control: Earth, with Stunts: Create, Destroy, Elemental Snare, and SUffocate would all work, and the extras Elemental Blast, Elemental Movement, Elemental Shield and finally Flight should cover it all (6pp/level plus 8pp for stunts). She often carries other people around on her 'rock' platforms, but I would think that could be a special part of her TK from Earth Control

so here's my quick research on Terra...
I wasn't a big reader of the Teen Titan comics, I have read the Judas Contract and familiar with the TT cartoon. What else should I know or think about when making her and roleplaying her??
Specifically has any of the Judas stuff happened?
With Nightwing and the other team members this will be important to know, especially if they'll need to "forgive" her when rejoining the Team.

here's my info...




TERRA

Tara Markov, half sister of Geo-Force, was the illegitimate daughter of the King of Markovia. This royal blood gave her the power to control earth.

Terra became a mercenary, doing dirty work for others such as Deathstroke the Terminator. She joined the Teen Titans, fooling them by staging a battle vs Deathstroke. She then operated as a spy for Deathstroke, eventually giving him the information he needed to kidnap the Titans. Eventually, Jericho possessed Deathstroke, foiling his plan, and Terra went crazy and pulled the whole H.I.V.E. complex down upon herself.

In 1991 another Terra appeared, almost identical to the first, as part of the Team Titans from a possible 2001. She was one of three characters ostensibly from that future who were not wiped out in Zero Hour. She was told by the Time Trapper that this was because she was not from the future at all. Subsequently she discovered Tara Markov's coffin to be empty.

Further evidence suggested she is genetically identical to the original Terra, but due to her horror at what Tara Markov did, Geo-Force decided to spare her this knowledge, thinking she would rather not have a past than have that one.

Terra also featured in the Titans animated series. In this setting she also betrayed the Titans to Slade (not called Deathstroke in this continuity), but was portrayed as more "lost" than evil or vindictive. The animated Terra sacrificed herself to save the Titans, becoming a statue. She was voiced by Ashley Johnson.
She is a small teenage girl with big powers. Gifted with amazing earth-moving abilities, Terra can make rocks fly, mountains crumble, and the ground tremble beneath her feet." Terra may also have feelings for our resident animal lover, Beast Boy. However, there might be more to the "hip, funny young hero" than what initially meets the eye...

After she mistakenly thinks Beast Boy told Robin their secret (that she can't control her powers), she runs off--with Slade continuing to watch her every move. She later returned to the Titans tower later on, and asked if she could still be a Titan. After gaining their trust, she became the sixth Titan to live in the tower.

The Titans later found out that she was working alongside Slade--giving him information on their weaknesses, their Tower defense system and more. Though Beast Boy promised that no matter what she did, he'd never stop being her friend--but the handing of his friends over to this mad-man was too much for him to handle.

Beast Boy's rejection turned Terra completely over to Slade's side, and felt no remorse till the very end about her decision. Terra took each of the Titans down, one by one, until the city belonged to Slade and her. What she didn't realize about the Titans though, is they don't go down easily--they returned to defeat her and Slade, only to find out that she had decided to leave Slade's side. Once she found she was unable to, Slade gained control of her body via the suit he had given her--it tied into her nervous system, allowing him to fight as long as she was up and willing.

She turned her powers onto Slade in her last effort to save herself from a horrible fate. Though it seemed everything would be all right in the end, Terra's powers had triggered a volcano --one that would annihilate everything in it's path. Sacrificing herself to save her friends and the city, Terra stopped the volcanic eruption from happening; for this sacrifice, she was turned into a statue made of the rapidly cooled lava. Though no safe way is known of extracting her now, the Titans are actively seeking a way to free their friend.
