Nessaja Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I could get into this. We're costumed super heroes though, without superpowers right? (Besides godo fighting skills, probably.) Or do we have powers or weapons or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blonde Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Any weapons would be up to you. As far as super powers... no "Superman" stuff but if a reasonable idea regarding super powers is put forward we'll discuss it. I'm trying to keep this as much in the realm of reality as costumed crime fighters can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessaja Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Okay, I'll try to get my sign up posted by Monday. I was thinking of going for a character a long the lines of the Rocketeer (if you are familiar with that character, Blonde. If not, I'll try to find some information on him.) Not exactly like the Rocketeer of course, but something like it involving believable technology, etc for the time period. [B]EDIT: Actually, I had a good idea. My character will be called Lady Luck. And if it's okay for the RP, she'll just be extra lucky. (There was some sci-fi story where a character was bred to be extra lucky, but I can't remember the name of it.) How does that sound?[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blonde Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 I remember the Rocketeer, ha, nice. I actually just saw that movie again for the first time in like ten years the other day. Lady Luck, good name. As far as her being "extra lucky" that doesn't neccesarily have to be a special ability. I'll allow you to work out your character's back story obviously, but maybe... she was raised by Gypsies that told her she was destined for good fortune and that it would guide her for her entire life. Just throwing an idea out there, work it however you see fit. [url]http://gypsymagicspells.blogspot.com/2007/11/lucky-leaf.html[/url] That site has some gypsy lucky charms and signs of good fortune. Maybe this has given her an ere of confidence, making her try riskier things because she believes she is luckier then the average person, and it's almost always paid off in her favor. Just a thought; the whole scientifically engineered luck thing kind of seems a bit silly, no offense, but I like the potential for the character and enjoy the name. Of course do whatever you thinks works the best, its all about how the material is presented. I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting.

Nessaja Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Oh I know, it is silly. I wasn't planning on building my character in that way. It was just an example of how it's been done before in other stories. :animeswea And that's a great idea, Blonde. But when does this RP take place by the way? Because I was thinking of having Lady Luck's birthdate be 7-7-77 (but if that would make her far too old, I'll just keep the month and the day the same.)

Mr. Blonde Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well the newspapers end in May in 2018, (date at top) but the story will begin in Jaunary of 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 [size=1]I have my character! Woohoo! As far as costumes go, do they have to have masks or something like that? I was a bit aprehensive to go for a 'secret identity' because of the character I have in mind, but I can deal with that if I change it a bit. I'll post my character when I get a reply.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessaja Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks Blonde, that's perfect (I think) for my character. However, she might be only twelve years old. :animesigh So if that's too young, I'll just keep the month and day the same. I kind of wanted to play an older character anyways. Vicky: Yeah, I forgot all about that. I don't even have a costume planned for my character yet. D= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D=[/QUOTE] Twelve might be a bit too young, but I like the idea of an older character, a sort of aging femme fatale... Older but still kicking arse and all that jazz. Costumes can be whatever you'd like, Vicky. Masks and what not aren't neccesary. Don't take "Secret Identity" too literally, I just wanted people to know I wanted their 'crime fighter' name and not their real name in the sign up, but it's perfectly fine if they're one in the same.

Nessaja Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Okay, Blonde. I'll just keep the month and the day then. As soon as I figure out her costume and accessories, I'll get my sign up posted. Thanks for all your help by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLarge Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 [SIZE=1]Just a quick question: are the only villains we're fighting the organised crime types, or are there costumed supervillains as well? Surely a wave of costumed crimefighters is going to spawn a wave of similarly-costumed bad guys as well, right? Or was that going to be something for later in the story? Also just realised that the Face is played by Vinnie Jones - interesting choice! [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blonde Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 [quote name='DeLarge'][SIZE=1] Also just realised that the Face is played by Vinnie Jones - interesting choice! [/SIZE][/QUOTE] I was waiting for someone to notice that. I think Vinnie Jones has the perfect British gangster face, but I suppose thats just from growing up watching Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch. There will be comic book type villians, but I'll reveal those later in the RPG and they won't be as black and white as most villians are, for now we'll focus on the gangsters and criminals. For instance: my first post will be my character breaking into the Treasury Minister's house and... we'll you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLarge Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 [SIZE=1]The Endless has already capitalised on it, but I just wanted to let everyone know that the police officer I put into my first post, Detective Inspector Mark Rutherford, is an NPC available for anyone to use. I figured what with all these criminals getting murdered, a character in the police force would be a useful one to have around. So please feel free to stick him in your posts if need be.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My post tonight, just to keep updated, haha. Or if not tonight then tomorrow morning but I dunno how that translates to everyone else across the globe =p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessaja Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah, my post tomorrow too. Sorry for the wait, Blonde. Also, I like how the RP is going so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 So sorry, finals are coming up. I'll post this weekend. (Meaning tonight at the earliest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessaja Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yeah, I'm sorry too Blonde. I couldn't get on the computer, thanks to family outings and such. I'll get my post up today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blonde Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Alright, I'll probably post again after Darren to tie some more things together. Looks interesting so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLarge Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 [SIZE=1]In that case, I'm not going to post until after Blonde has - I feel that if I tried to add anything at this stage, it would basically be a repeat of my original post. I need some kind of direction to go in before I make my next post.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky informed me she plans on posting today, so as soon as her and Darren have posted I'll put mine up and we'll all move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 [size=1]Done. Hope that was okay. Ten points to whoever gets the two movie lines used in the post!
