Is nuclear war an eventually?

[Tomia]

Will post soon. I was going to post yesterday, but I ended up getting a stomach virus and vomiting multiple times, so I wasn't exactly in the best condition to post.

And guess what?

Yesterday was my birthday. Of all the days to contract a stomach virus...


Buuuut, I also have some suggestions for this RP.

(1. For the apps, we should add a personality section to describe the character's...well, personality.
(2. There should possibly be a Discord server for this RP. It would help with planning and whatnot.

I'm not OP, but personally I like the fact that the app doesn't actually contain personality. From my experience, what I describe in the personality often ended up very different from how I write in the IC. It's better in my opinion to have like and dislike, as this is useful as a 'scaffolding' for the personality I'll be writing for the char.

Just my two cents though, so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm also kind of against personality. Soley because they tend to end up forcing people to use generic terms that don't accurately describe the character.

100% agree. Personality is a very, very complicated thing that can't be summarized in a few words. I'm glad it's not there. Having likes/dislikes is a good foundation for building upon.

Mission Title: Bank Robbery

This is interesting, the first mission we plan to do might actually fit really well for you, it's pretty much a team up of mostly unrelated npcs and your char could help fill out the group. Not sure if it'll be a bank robbery, but we can hash out those details as it approaches

Mission Title: Big Trouble in Little China
]

This should work, interesting writing style for the briefing. Maybe a bit more detail of the setting of it and how you imagine it playing out? That's not particularly necessary though so this should be fine.

The first point has already been sufficiently answered by the others, so I'll just point out that often, a Discord server can be more harmful than helpful in a roleplay. To put it very briefly, it drains activity from the OOC, which can be a very bad thing.

Plus, not everyone uses Discord.

Can you elaborate on that a little further, please? I’m not too sure as to what is wrong with my Mission app.

Not really saying there's anything wrong with it. As an app it's totally fine. I was merely making suggestions to make it better. As to what those suggestions are, I think the style of the explanation felt a lot of details vague. Like the who what where and why is kind of missing. So including a more objective third person description might be helpful. That being said I don't think it's entirely necessary but would just be a good addition.

[New Finnish Republic]

Knocking Red out might've been a bad idea. I'll probably let everyone else post for a bit before I'll at least have him come back to consciousness, although he won't be in any style of fighting shape.

Is this last boss going to be a quick defeat, or will it be a while? Honestly at this point it feels like we've spent plenty of time with this arc, no offense.

Yeah, the plan was to have it be like a quick tutorial final boss thingy to end the arc with a bang. It's not going to take long, don't worry

Regarding Red, I was going to have Alexis round up the wounded chars and treat them a little bit, since she can't do much against the bat. You can probably use that to your advantage.

Alternatively, now's a good time to tell me if you'd rather not have me do that

Nope, feel free.

Feel free to have him mumble something about kicking Roy's ass or something along those lines for comedic effect.

[Entronium]

Are you guys still accepting or no?

[The Republic of Atria]

Are you guys still accepting or no?

I'm more than certain it's still open.

Sure, will do

Yes, the roleplay's still open, like it says in the thread's title.

Oh, alright that makes sense. If that’s the case, then let me elaborate on the mission:
• 1). The person speaking in the summary (or ‘briefing’) is Zoe’s contractor, to whom I have yet to introduce their name via Zoe’s next post. Zoe had been getting contracts/missions from this contractor in mind since her first year on Earth - basically taking up heists and assassinations. Zoe is essentially a bounty hunter and cat burgular for hire.
• 2). Now, I thought the whereabouts of the mission were obvious, but it appears that the specific location in Hong Kong wasn’t clear. The mission takes place in the high-rise slums of Hong Kong, which makes the perfect place to hide away a informant/spy’s hideout; however, the neighborhood has since been infested with the police. Crackdowns and raids have fallen into effect, so the neighborhood will be crawling with police activity.
• 3). Zoe has a long history with her contractor in mind, thereby taking up jobs and missions which are primarily at night; essentially became a reliable source of income. As you may expect for a single Kletterian woman to start her life anew in the final frontier, Zoe wants to enjoy the fun that she never had when she was a kid, so high-class thievery and spycraft is kind of her thing (kind of like catwoman). Plus, Zoe has built up a good yet humble reputation as a very good thief, burglar, and assassin all at once, which is why she is being called up by her fellow contractor in mind.

This seems like a personal arc for Zoe more than an arc for everyone else.

The intel in mind, however, had been under investigation by the Chinese for a while. It was only through kidnapping and beating the informant into submission that the Chinese were able to secretly give the Young Bloods an anonymous tip - specifically one regarding the informant and his work of gathering intel for the Young Blood safehouses. Unfortunately, Zoe and her contractors don’t realize that kind of info just yet - something that the previous operative had before going down to their grave as well.

(EDITED): Zoe has yet to know about the situation, so the mission is only going to introduce her and her contractors to the equation once the mission goes underway.

Going to chime in a bit here: while the above makes sense, I think it's a bit of a stretch to think that Chinese authorities would want to give an anonymous tip to a foreign, small-time team of superheroes instead of resorting to supers within their own nation. Besides that, I don't think the YB are going to be doing missions in places as far as China for a little while.

Not to discourage your arc, but it sounds like it'd have to wait until the YB are pretty well established and have a very good reputation overseas, which will undoubtedly take a while.

Hmm, save this arc in the meantime. I’ll think of something a little more tamed and mild.

Tom did accept it, which means we'll do it at some point. I'm just giving a fair warning that "some point" probably won't be too soon

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Aaand done with a post for Alexis. Since I was the last poster, I just edited it into the post I made for Kiris. Fin, feel free to have Red wake up whenever

I'll write up a few mission ideas and do some archive maintenance now.

[Tomia]

Name: Kross Mathews
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

(Image)

Young Blood?: No

Bio: Kross Mathews is a standard, unpowered employee of the Superhuman Defense Committee. He specialises in security and commonly works with different governments to give talks and inspections of standard facilities in order to ensure that all elements of modern laws are upheld.

As per Pandora’s Lock regulation, Kross Mathews movements, acquisitions and activities are to be covered by the foundation in order to allow for reasonable discretion. After an exceptional record, Kross Mathews has steadily risen through the ranks and is currently holding the position of deputy director of the containment branch.

After nearly 20 years of service, Kross has been able to perform in numerous different operations across the globe. Operating under the codename Blackened Raven, he has proven himself capable of his position after displaying the required discretion, caution and loyalty along with an unrivalled inquisitive nature. (For clarification of desirable perks, see files on operations -REDACTED-, BREACHED VEIL and -REDACTED-).

Kross however has been put into a unique position due to his relation to the heroes Stalwart Shield and Shining Light as such has, until recent administrative changes, been restricted to the level of field agent second class. While an exceptional operative in his own regard, Kross has shown several ‘self-destructive’ tendencies in the form of a near constant use of excessive force, a reckless abandon of safety based protocols and a near unmatched record of drinking on duty. While there are conflicting reports, his aggressive tendencies are commonly blamed on a deep feeling of inferiority stemming from his family ties. According to on staff investigations, it seems to have sprouted a ‘do or die’ mentality, that while useful, has also been shown as a potential liability.

Powers:

• [Agent]: Kross Mathews is an agent of Pandora’s Lock. While his position mostly has him working and travelling alone, he still works with the support and backing of the shadowy organisation.
• Experienced: Kross has spent his whole career punching above his weight level. Undoubtedly, this has left its scars but as a result he has learned how best to fight in a world of gods and monsters. Specifically, by cheating. Intelligence, reinforcements, legalities, brutality and fear are all commonly used weapons within Kross’ armory.

Limitations:

• Powerless. Kross is an unpowered human with a drinking and smoking problem.
• Cover story. While many supers know of Pandora’s Lock and its true capabilities within the SDC, Kross’ cover story is as a desk jockey of the SDC. As such, he’s unable to enter most facilities without first contacting support, delaying his efforts and giving warning to any high level foes.

Weaknesses:

• Smoker’s Lung: While experienced and well built, Kross is far from the ideal image of health. Physical scars, age, a life of drinking and actual smokers lung are all problems continually slowing him down.
• Cocky: Despite his flaws, Kross is nearly unmatched in confidence. While he avoids obvious suicide runs, he has on several occasions, refused reinforcements in favour of acting alone to ensure certain aspects of his investigations.

Greatest fear: Chaos

OOC- So I wrote this up with Kross mainly being intended as a side character. Potentially bringing the odd mission or missive for the team while I acting as the friendly government spook playing the role of a suit.

I have similar concerns as Zark about the bio, feels like I'd like to know more of his backstory and who is. But writing it like a Dossier is a cool effect. Powers and seem fine, though fleshing out his capabilities in the IC will probably be needed, Since he's a side char though I think I can over look these minor issues, accepted.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Here's a few arc ideas for the future. I'll update the archive with accepted forms in the morning.

Mission Title: The Tournament
What heroes would be involved, if any?: The Young Bloods, the Los Angeles Stars, the San Francisco Rising Suns, the Carolina Bluejays, the New York Freedom Fighters.
What Villains are involved, if any?: The Reckoning.
Location(s): New York City
What is the heroes’ objective, if any?: To win the NASL's 53rd Bi-Annual Superhero Tournament.
What is the villains’ objective, if any?: To crash the event as it nears its end and make a public statement against superheroes.
Quick Summary: Created in the midst of the year 1990, four years after the creation of the National American Super League, the Bi-Annual Superhero Tournament has long served as a symbol of the unity between heroes all around the country, as well as the cooperation and friendly competition between the teams that form the NASL. All of this without mentioning that the sheer amounts of cash it rakes in help keep the League up and running smoothly. As we near the end of 2017, the time arrives for the second BAST, and while teenage heroes are still largely frowned upon due to the Young Blood Massacre 19 years ago, the Young Bloods receive an invitation to participate in the tournament. Unbeknownst to them, this invitation is sent by arrogant heroes who think the Young Bloods are easy prey and want to send a message towards any aspiring teenage heroes. Will the Young Bloods prove them wrong, or will they fail to hold their ground against the League's finest teams?

Did I do this correctly?

Not quite. Starting from top to bottom:

If you're using a custom race, you have to make a race app.
There's no bio.
I don't think the OP wants power replication as an ability. Not to mention you didn't explain it's limitations.
The limitations aren't really limitations.
Overthinking is more of a limitation than a weakness.
You didn't explain how EMPs affect him.

I understand that it's a WIP, and that some of these will probably be fixed, but those are the most glaring issues.
