Hora Powers


He's not exactly stronger than the Tiste, but whatever.
I seem to have cleared up a few of the sub-powers, or abilities that are listed unnecessarily, so Ophioneus has 13 powers.

And he was supposed to be a decent villain, which is why I didn't make him an instant pushover.

If you haven't noticed, none of the characters are try pushovers, even the seemingly near powerless Damien.......... And one more thing.

Vid, I don't think we need a villain that's outside of the main villains ready, because it will lead to a completely different sub-plot that will not relate to the main plot. Plus it's just going to be a filler and won't really accomplish anything for the characters if we got sidetracked.

I kind of don't what another event that threw the whole RP into disarray, like Cellini did with the earthquake and pretty much forced the characters to leave a lot sooner than expected.....

Apart from Siberia where the prison is, where will the other focal point be located? I mean, not everyone is going to be in Siberia...I mean the civil war for e.g. we need a solid platform for it.
So which city, which country?

Logically where the highest concentration of Free Superhumans are - possibly Japan since that's pretty close.

During the civil war, Japan will be defending the country from Parh and Order, but not actively fighting it. It was going to one of the safe havens from the chaos that was going.............. It's meant to be the country to getaway from the war.

I don't think it should be a focal point......... Unless you convince me otherwise.

If there's no focal point then how do we structure the RP and allow characters to interact with each other if they're scattered across the world?

Siberia is suppose to be the focal point, where it will gather all the characters that were previously scattered, so they can fight.

Besides what are you planning that Damien or Ushio will not be with main group who will be in the center of the conflict?

Hiro could travel as a doctor to a war-torn area. Others may already be in the conflict.

Ah, but that's only for the people who are captured - there are still many characters not captured.

I'm so confused now........... Are we talking about before or after the characters go to rescue someone from the prison?

Maybe, if he gets better, I was planning for Hiro to be wounded somehow....

Erm, not sure - the RP will start with some people captured, some not. But are we going to start off straight away with a rescue attempt?

For the people who was previously in the RP, most of them are going to go for a recap, and then the situation that will lead to the rescue attempt for the characters.
