"You are Vengeance, You are the Night. You are ... ?" Super's Vigilante Game (Open)

[Rkhet]

*Ponders* Errr, I'm going for Batman not Punisher. Sorry if I didn't communicate that clearly enough. Now if you all prefer Punisher I can work with that, but its not what I had in mind to start with.

Hmm... you mean the ex-soldier thing? Or the whole concept?

 

[Kalanyr]

I meant I'd prefer to have characters who can be reasonable trusted to be left alone with a kid for 24 hours and you can come back expecting kid to still be alive.

So someone with a track history of random murder in order to attempt to ease his pain is a touch too sociapathic for where I'm going.

The ex-solider thing is not a problem at all.

 

[Rkhet]

Aha. MMkay. It'll take a couple more days for a new character concept, then.

no please, the theme sounded good. And I don't realy feel like shooting at people all day...

 

[Rkhet]

Can you give us an example as to the kind of quests we'd be doing? Will we be bringing the bad guys to the police? Burying them in our backyard? That sort of thing.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kalanyr, I'm going to bow out. Happy go lucky people become cops not vigilantes. (IMHO of course.)

 

[Kalanyr]

Fair enough Bro.Though I should point out a) happy go lucky not necessary. Heroic kinda is. I want heros not people who even in a comic book universe would get locked up and if it ever actually worked the key thrown away. b) Well comic book conceit seems to indicate that even happy go lucky's seem to end up as vigilantes *Cough* Flash, Superman, I'm sure there's more*cough*.

 

[RobotRobotI]

Unfortunately, we're not allowed to make Flash or Superman-style characters. You wanted normal humans or weak-supernatural heroes. They become police officers, people who would get locked away and turned into experiments become Superheros. =P

Must say I'm still not getting a feel for the theme your looking for.

The character concept I am considering is a 6' 7" tall character named 'Brickhouse' raised in the ghetto he has the ability to literally transform his body into Rock and can merge with stone (including brick and concrete). Is that what you want or do you want a more batman type?

 

[Kalanyr]

*Shrugs* And what I'm getting are characters that are basically out and out villains. Seems I had a miscommunication somewhere.

I used Gotham as an example because its basically all about normal humans, who are admittedly somewhat nuts, but are still basically heroic. What I'm getting are characters who are well nuts (so I guess I got a 50% success) and basically villains or at best on the dark side of gray (this I don't mind so much, the random murders of innocents are a bit past where I draw the line though. The occassional random murder of people who are well pretty definitely not innocent, isn't.).

And a weak (does not have to be supernatural at all) metahuman is certainly allowed. Az was admittedly a little obscure but *hmm* trying to find a good example of such is hard because they don't get the big title comics. Az is basically a really low level brick type (faster, stronger and tougher than a normal human really should be but not to huge extents.). I'm certainly not going to shut down a speedster of non-supreme levels or a blaster or "guy with inhuman aim" etc .

Hmm. And now I'm writing an essay on the difference between Modern Comic Heros and what I view as psychopathic. Heh. Go me!

Anyway I hope that clears things up.
