AXIS (Superhero, Interest)

[The first Galactic Republic]

I should mention that AXIS recruited former supervillains and heroes who refused to go along with FLAGG. You could be one of those if you want.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Well when I say superman I just mean two of the big three in FLAGG have similar powers. They fly around punching stuff. They don't have his more esoteric powers though, like super breath.

I'd say they're like Man of Steel Superman, so if your character could 9/10 MoS Superman then we might have a problem.

Fair enough.

However, then comes the issue of trying to pair street levelers with someone who is roughly on par with him. You either nerf or decrease the the superhuman's IQ 60 points or bring up the street guy to superhuman levels that shouldn't be possible. There IS going to be a power difference. There is no way around it.

This is why I'm saying common sense needs to be used, because character creation from players could lead to this.

I've thought about it for the NPCs though. FLAGG employs regular security forces and they're more likely to show up at the beginning of the RP. FLAGG also has weaker superhumans in leadership roles.

The original heroes don't show up until things get more serious. By that time players can be stronger and more experienced and AXIS can be more prepared. A sorting algorithm of bad guys in other words.

Can my character be a former neutral with wings and power over fire?

Well, it's like the Superman vs Batman scenarios I guess. Even though Superman is stronger, Batman finds a way to win somehow. (Disclaimer: I'm not too well-versed with the superhero lore, so I might be entirely wrong.)

Two questions: What year is this set in, and how evil can the ex-villains be? Present day, and common sense decides, I guess?

[Mundeo]

Is there an app form? I don't see one anywhere.

[Beruka]

Can my character be a former neutral with wings and power over fire?

Sure.

Are Ghost like beings with Access to fire powers permitted?

Err this is just an Internet thread.

The near future. Maybe early 2020's?

They can be pretty evil. However evil you want.

Where will this be set? I presume it's in a specific city.

I haven't decided. It's up to people I guess.

It should probably be in a specific area if not a specific city though.

I say either international *I assume the AXIS is an international organisation similar to that of the CIA, etc* or just North America and Europe. We could have it based in the Americas but have occasional trips to other parts of the world.

Err this is just an Internet thread.

I think this has enough interest to become an OOC thread. Also, what would you think about a character with no/miniscule powers, like Green Arrow? Are those allowed?

@Canadian: In that case, characters can be of any ethnicity, right?

Likely.

[The Irish County of the Beare-Mor]

I wanna be Irish! No particular reason obviously...

[Beruka]

We have a Nation that aspires to be Irish.
And a Nation that actually is Irish.

Yeah that's fine. Even superpowers don't have to be major. One of the major AXIS figures for example just has really good aim.

[Great Canadian Dominion]

Character Ideas:

Timberwolf/Bear: Has the ability to turn into multiple species *Restricted to mammals* and gains all attributes of that animal, such as strength if a bear, or speed if a leopard. He still has the same level of intelligence however. This can be used for spying/intelligence gathering, fighting, chasing people and much more. Timberwolf would be in his early to late twenties or thirties and would be an ex-Canadian army sniper turned zookeeper turned hero.

Polaris: Basically an 'icebender'. Can freeze stuff and manipulate ice. Would be a native who was gifted powers by the god, Igaluk, or so he believes although most don't really believe him and pass it off as a 'miracle' Work in progress.

[The Republic of Atria]

Wanted to have a guy who looks like this.

Wanted to...?

You realized the best superhero was this guy?

Questions:

1. Are major AXIS members just NPC's or do we have the chance to be one?

2. Where is AXIS headquartered?

3. Is AXIS an underground resistance group, a Justice League like group, an intelligence agency of rebel superheros and villains or something different.

Don't get smarmy with me.

Ew, no.

[The Irish County of the Beare-Mor]

Ideas, ideas, ideas.

Phoenix: A Pyrokinetic, able to manipulate and control fire to an extreme degree, and is a masochist.

The Forsaken: An immortal whose immortal alignment changes with each death. (Prob. not allowed. Just listing ideas here)

Leviathan: A aquakinetic, able to control and maniplate all phases of water, and is skilled with its many types of blades it carries

Spark: A Fulgurkinetic, can control and manipulate electricty, namely the flow of electrons and where they go.

Gryphon: A very skilled fighter in martial arts, and a multitude of weapons and is also capable of flight.

(I may think of some later, my mind is a bit clouded right now.)

Leaders are NPCs, but player characters are elite agents.

That's a secret.

It's an underground group secretly funded by global governments, but is left to handle things on its own. The leaders have unlimited authority to do whatever they feel is necessary. It's kind of like CADMUS from the Justice Leaue cartoon, Captain America's secret Avengers or the Thunderbolts from Marvel comics, or XCOM if it was against superhumans.

The former superheroes used to have a Justice Leage like organization, but when they formed FLAGG it became like The Authority or SHIELD during Marvel's Civil War. It's also kind of like ADVENT from XCOM 2 or the Regime from Injustice Gods Among Us.

Clearly the AXIS is based primarily in Germany, Italy and Japan.

[Rhodevus]

Is this based slightly on injustice: Gods Among us?
