I've said it may, may times: sub-forums accessible from the main page. That's my only suggestion.

Hey, Ginny, which edition's cover is that? I have a Bloomsbury/Raincoast edition here in Quebec City and it has a beautiful picture of Fawkes on the cover.

Dreamcast looked around himself and spoke nonchalantly. "You most certainly have heard during the last year about the actions of Andromeda. A secret organization constituted of mutants and whose activities, though unknown precisely, are most certainly not in tune with the laws." The mutants looked at him quizzically. Telvi acted again, projecting random data about andromeda as a transparent hologram betweem him and them. "Andromeda is an association of thirteen mutants, no less, no more. ranging from bodyguards, murderer, thieves and adventurer. They are up for any act, preferably criminal in form or concept, as long as they are paid." Various pictures showed of murder and thief scenes were Andromeda was involved. "Up to very recently, the informations we had on Andromeda were scarce and unaccurate. This resulted in the fiasco of Operation Laurel. The plan of thwarting the attempt against Israel's Prime Minister in Quebec City failed miserably, resulting in the blow up of the whole Frontenac hotel and the death of three members of Operation Group Solidearity." This was hard to forget, especially as the three dead mutant were considered among the elite in Canada. "Thanks to recent investigations from Group Rainforest in New York and specially the risks taken by mutant Yromem, we are now well-aware of Andromeda's wereabouts. This group has been formed to destroy Andromeda. Codename: Operation Tsunami. Your first mission to achieve this goal is the capture of Nipple." A Mutant profile with a picture appeared on the holographic screen. The picture showed a young women in a classic Karate stance. Her her was a bright green, and her her skin had a definite green tone to it too. Leather covered most of body but her head and breasts (this elicited some stares from the Men present, which then elicited several whacks from the women. On the shoulder was a very visible [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=417283]symbol[/URL] . [b]Name[/b]: Caleen Dowblock [b]Codename[/b]: Nipple [b]Age[/b]: 25 [b]Occupation[/b]: Hired Killer and adventurer [b]Identity[/b]: The general public and government are unaware of Nipple's existence [b]Legal status[/b]: none [b]Group Affiliation[/b]: Andromeda [b]Strength Level[/b]: Caleen Dowblock possesses the normal strenght of a woman of hi age who engage in intensive exercise. [b]Mutation Type[/b]: Blaster, Invader [b]Known superhuman power[/b]: Nipple is able to charm any living being of the opposite sex and with enough intelligence that stand in her imediate area. They will follow her very orders without any thinking. Even once they leave the direct nearby area, she can keep a slight unconscious control over them. She is also able to fire dangerous green beams of energy from her breast tips. [b]Current Wereabouts[/b]: Currently on a contract with the Hell's Angels in Canada. She is to kill the leaders of all opposite biker gangs. She is currently in Alberta where she assassinated 5 leaders of the Blood Coughs three days ago in Edmonton. As the words faded on the screen, Biddall grabbed a box on his desk. "Our technical department had these made for the mission. Myth?" He threw the teen several small round tablets that were catched unceremoniously. The mutant looked up at him. "What are these?" "Nitroglycerin tablets." He smirked as the mutant jumped. "If you throw them hard enough, they create a small firecracker-like explosion. Not powerfull enough to harm, noisy enough to scare, and big enough for you to work with." A pair of spray paint were then produced. One was labelled "Destruction Red" the other was "Crazy Blue". "Errr... They told me you'd understand." Michael tossed them at Graffiti. "And finally..." He hold out a tuning fork. They al blinked. "This is for you, Siren. This little thing produces a specific sound frequency that multiply your voice's powers by ten. For last resort uses only. One last thing: Stop, you're in charge of looking over Klepto so he don't steal too much." Dreamcast glanced meaningfully at the mutant. "There, I think we are ready. All you are waiting for is our lift." They looked at him quizzically ([i]you[/i]?) and he suddenly seemed to slump over his desk and fall asleep.

Iagree. What annoyed me a bit is that the traditionnal [spoiler]explanation from Dumbledore told us very few interesting things. Most of it we had rather figured by ourselves at that moment.[/spoiler] Noticed the recurrences of socks?

The very first anime I saw was "Spaceship Sagittarius". I never saw very much of it because at that time, I couldn't remember airing times for my life.

Crimson Spider, I know for a fact there will never be enough natural electricity in the normal human body for any kind of "crosswiring" to happen. Besides, there is absolutely nothing in the body that can be assimilated to electric wiring (If I recall correctly, nerves doesn't actually carry electricity in any way. If it was the case, our reflexes would be MUCH more quicker.)

My theme is "Normal" by Baha Men.

For references, other noticeable caracter are: Proffessor Dilbert Doppler, a well known astrophysician, the one who paid for the ship, he's accompannying Jim. The captain, whose name I can't remember and her lieutenant (Good guys) All other members of the crew are actually Sylver's crew, who managed to get them on the ship. Sylver is actually the cook.

Group Blueberry Lognet. [i]It is a chance that we recently captured escaped Experimental Mutant #626. After psionic investigations, it was discovered that he wasn't the serial killer the government accused him to be. We transmitted the FBI informations about the real murderer. The mutant of unknown name is now codename Silex. He asked not to be handed over back to the goverment and it is very understandable. He is now being sent undercover for hiding into one of our outerstates facilities. I received today key informations from New York's Group Rainforest about Andromeda. We are finally able to locate and stop these dangerous criminals. I am joining them myself in order to look out over the best team I can muster. Members of both Operation Group Solidariy and Group Blueberry will be joining in this elite force to stop some of the most dangerous mutants in North America.[/i] - Logging out Dreamcast Michael Biddall disconnected the psionic computer and thanked his human screen "Telvi". He then activated the new special list for the mutant group that would called to be the new force in mutant fighting. Codename: Operation Tsunami. Members: Siren, Biomass, Graffiti, Myth, Stop, Klepto, Fathom and himself. He waited a dozen minutes befor ethe first came tumbling into the room. [SIZE=1]Okay people, let's get this thing started! Your caracter is just going through is everyday life when his "thing" (whatever you want it to be) suddenly starts beeping, indicating there is an urgent mission/reunion. You get into your fighting costumes and into the room where the near-legendary (as a founder of the brigades) Dreamcast is waiting for you.[/SIZE]

Go people! I just want one last player before we start this up!

Oh, I though I had posted his profile: Name: Unpronouncable Codename: The Zebra Age: 30,200 of our years Occupation: (current) Worker at MBO Mall. Identity: Most people believes The Zebra to be a normal mutant with various psionic habilities. Legal status: None. Place of birth: Unknown Group affiliation: (current) Mutant Brigade. Northern Sector, Ontario Division, Toronto Section, Group Blueberry Base of operations: (current) MBO Mall, Toronto. Eyes: Red Hair: Naturally stripped, appears as red Strength level: The Zebra possesses the normal human strength of a man of his apparent age who engages in moderate regular exercise. Mutation type: Outer-Dimensionnal Known superhuman powers: As an Outer-dimensionnal being, he can bend virtually any physical law in his vicinity. By manipulating gravity, he has acquired flight and slight telekinetic habilities. He has proven to be able to render himself invisible. He can also physically feel and touch or manipulate light. By creating a wide array of optical lens with air, he can cause various illusions, which allows him to take virtually any appearance. He usually shows up as a african man with raspberry red air. The full extent of The Zebra's power are not known. It is though he could demonstrate time-bending powers similar to Clockwork's as well as phasing powers. Other: The Zebra's entire body (including eyes, hair and such) is stripped with black and white. He comes form a different, hexadimensionnal universe and was banished here by his familly. Seeking revenge, he joined the Mutant Brigade.

Definitely. As for other ripped off mutants, I didn't recognize that much of any mutants I mostly had in mind so far. Shikaku, I think I'll wait for another member or two, then I'll PM you all to tell you what's going on. And Ben, these are not NPCs, though some may appear (I'm pretty sure I'll use The Zebra and Yromem at some point). They were just given as example.

:therock: Please, can you spare us the Nightcrawler wannabe? Seriously though, try to be more original.

I'll be able to write something tomorrow if you give me some time.

BlueGender, Your mutation type is just "psionist" nice submission. What is your caracter's hair color?

humm... As I've said to Ohkami earlier, Status would be "The general public is unaware of Korey Dreiss' Existence" (I told ya Operation Groups are secret-level) and legal status is "none". Besides, theorically, most of you should be at least naturalized canadian citizens LOL

Group Blueberry is made of "normal people", Operation groups are secret-level groups of specially trained mutant, often very different physically, that only intervene in special missions. And yeah, I think your hability (very well though, by the way, gotta love the codename XD) qualify as blaster.

"Valkyrion! I have good news!" A Wheezing Mared ran in. "Thanks to O'owin's message, we will receive some help from the fire realm. She did not tell me exactly what kind of help it would be, thouh." Valkyrion looked puzzled. "Well, Fire element possess quite a tremendous amount of strength, when you think about it. I'm expecting some sort of spells." Mared explained. "I was also able to locate someone with the Skill Drain hability, but it's impossible to travel between the realms by now." He added, sighing. "I'm not too sure about this, you know. I just hope I can give Doma a taste of his own medicine, if that is still possible." "Don't worry too much." Valkyrio reassured him. "I'm pretty sure he also wants to get back at you for interrupting his attempt on Silistra."

Nice sign-up. Mutation type would be Body modification. Well-written bio.

Oh, and BTW, I'm gonna take about a dozen persons, including me.

I use pitas, simple, and rarely ever down. No banners, just a tiny little link. The only small complain I have is the lack of variety in date presentations.

[i]Mutants, what are they? Some thinks the next step in evolution, I say the next step toward the fall of mankind.[/i] - Senator Kelly. [i]"Exceptionnal" means something that is an exception. Thus we are exceptionnal, and like all those that are exceptionnal, we wish to help humanity. Athletes, genius scientists, artists, they helps in their own ways, just like we help in our own unique way.[/i] - Michel Chatelet "Channel" [i]All we ask is for some trust.[/i] - Michael Biddall "Dreamcast" This is a fairly AU (Alternate Universe) to the X-Men movies (I am not familiar enough with the comic books to use this fandom). The situation is the same than the movies... Without any X-Men caracter. It's year 2003 and the mutant situation is still at bay. Even with the work accomplished by the Organization for Peacefull Human Relations and it's unofficial branch, the Mutant Brigades, many people remain afraid of mutants and yet another mutant registration project recently entered the Senate. The Organization for Peacefull Human Relations is an non-governmental organization working for complete integration of mutants in human society and is made of mutants and regular men and women. They also help new mutants harnessing their newfound powers in MHGs: Mutant Help Groups. The Mutant Brigades are groups of mutants of varying sizes working in concerted collaboration with official government in all domains. They help capture dangerous and criminal mutants, police investigations, scientific research and peacekeeping. -- There will be NO all-powerfull mutants OR X-men caracters (Though you may use powers or names of very secondary caracters, and I mean VERY, and never together). You are asked to be original in both powers and names. You can not mix powers: a mind controller is NOT a telepath and a telepath is not a telekinesist etc. Each and everytime you introduce a new NPC (non-player caracter), you are asked to fill a profile for him to help consistency. I will provide several exemple sheets below in this post. The Mutants Brigades are organized in independant groups that usually doesn't know each others, they are centered around a living place, place of work, school etc. and named by natural things. However, I'll ask that you all be part of Toronto's Group Blueberry or Operation Group #4: Solidarity, for simplicity's sake. Operation Groups (a dozen around North America) are groups of trained mutants that are usually fairly powerfull... and fairly different, most of the times having body modifications. The Mutant File is as follow: [b]Name[/b]: Your real name (nothing too fancy please) [b]Codename[/b]: Duh! (For privacy purpose, Mutants in mission [i]always[/i] call each others by their codename) [b]Age[/b]: Duh! [b]Occupation[/b]: what you do when you aren't on Mutant Brigade-related mission [b]Identity[/b]: How much of the fact you exist, your mutancy and your powers are known to people around you? [b]Legal status[/b]: Citizen of which country? criminal record? [b]Group Affiliation[/b]: "Mutant Brigade. Northern Sector, Ontario Division, Toronto Section, Group Blueberry" OR "Mutant Brigade. Operation Group #4: Solidarity.". [b]Eyes[/b]: If anything special [b]Hair[/b]: See above [b]Strength Level[/b]: "name of caracter" possess the normal strenght of a man of his age who engage in (intensive, moderate, little, no) regular exercise. (If you have superhuman strenght, write as you please.) [b]Mutation Type[/b]: Blaster (ANY form of psionic or physical-induced blast), telekinesist, psionist, seer, telepath etc. (In doubt, ask me) [b]Known superhuman power[/b]: List your power and its effects in details. Powers of magical origins are fine by me. [b]Special limitations[/b]: If applies [b]Others[/b]: What's your personnality? What's your history? Do you possess other specific habilities or weapons/equipment? Please be detailed and realistic. You can choose to reuse these caracters sheets but NOT Gamecube and X-Box (which will remains NPCs). Make appropriate modification if caracter is not member of Group Blueberry. I want you to know that I'll be quite picky in these profiles and I'm not afraid of telling people to get back to basics.

It's originally "Weblog"(web-log), shortened to blog.

I feel quite sorry for you all blogspot stuck users... My blog address: [url]http://circeus.pitas.com[/url] Blog name: Cerveau Optionnel (current) Once Upon a Time (former) Thoughts behind it/reasons for creating it: First a trend thing, but also to learn into HTML and wwebdesign. It became just an habit. It's a bit neglected right now. I'm out on layout, for some annyoing reason.
