The Fluff is up. If you want, you can begin creating characters and picking a faction (Objector, WFO, Darkstar). I don't need you to make a original superhero, but if there is an obscure one or a generic one (I don't want a photo of Supergirl), go ahead and use it.
I have put an example character sheet in the spoiler. Eat your heart out, Spoony.
Spoiler:
Player: Chowderhead
Hero name/ Secret Identity: Dr. Insano, AKA Noah Antwieller
Age: 26
Moral Standing: Chaotic Evil
Costume:
Background: Dr. Insano is a mad scientist. He was created thanks to a time paradox, and is now the scienciest person in the world. He is bent on conquering the world with his child, Son of Insano. He hates goodie goodies, but the hates Ferris Bueler even more.
Superpower: Levatation, SCIENCE!!!
Super Weakness: He is only human, and such, can succumb to all mortal wounds.
Well, that is interesting. I do like the Saxophone, the sexiest instrument ever.
And just because not many people are posting doesn't mean it's dead. We now have five people, and if we get maybe 1-2 more (I'll be PMing my ass off), we can start.
Also, think of your characters. I changed minor Superpower to Movement ability. It makes more sense.
Background: Ryan was born into a middle class family in southern Arkansas. He graduated Hendrix College with a degree in Animation Design, and left for work in Paradiso after being offered a job as a cartoon animator. He discovered he had unusual abilities soon afterwards, but only when he turned 27 did his abilities come full force. He discovered that his abilities were a result of a genetic fault that occurs in one in one-hundred million. He quickly brought these abilities to his control, and became notorious for his brutal sense of justice. He is a hero, when the urge hits him, but otherwise, he tries to make his living as an animator or mercenary, breaking the law very rarely. Ryan has few friends, but the ones he does have are either very special or very useful. Ryan tries to avoid major conflicts, usually working with the Objectors, but fortunately, The Warriors for Order are on good terms with him. His show was cancelled for "suggesting rebellious themes", and as a result, he is starting to get more involved in the conflict. Typically, Ryan is cold, monotonous, and formal to the extreme. Once he is comfortable in someone's presence, he displays his warmer side. The same really, but a tad more friendly and less stiff. Also, he has an interest in Meta-Physics.
Major Power: Kinetic Force: Ryan can create "pushes" and "pulls" of varying power, usually in powerful blasts. Thus, his nick name, Wave.
He can use these in complicated ways to make exotic techniques, such as whirlwinds and shields. Last measurement showed a force of 400 Tons per square inch at 3,672 miles per hour.
Movement Power: Jump: Ryan can use his Kinetic Force to push himself into a tiny form, reducing drag and inertia, to propel himself at nearly the speed of sound. He can do this to others, but it is far less safe. However, this ability is extremely painful, and usually a last resort. Any distance beyond six miles will cause permanent physical damage.
Weakness: Fluids: If submerged in a liquid with a density equal or greater than water, he will be trapped, because he is a poor swimmer, and the properties and density of such materials make his powers almost useless.
NPC: Chueng Isuel
Age: N/A
Faction: Warriors for Order
Alignment: Chaotic Good.
Bio: Isuel is a North Korean master of South Korean Tae Kwon Do, though he only has his red belt. He illegally immigrated to America once he mastered the art, and setup in Paradiso, where he found work that suited him. He works with the Warriors for Order, usually doing undercover and agent type work. Not much else is known, besides his rivalry with Ryan and his taste for Scatting.
Power: Elite Physique: Isuel has physical and mental abilities beyond a normal human, including speed, strength, and reaction time, but less than the average super. Thus, he is victim to wounds much less than super standards, but far above typical humans.
So, I (and the voices in my head) have made a decision. We need some interesting NPC's...
So here they are. Objector ShockTroops (Non-Superpowered foot soldiers) and Darkstar Dread Legion (Non-Superpowered foot soldiers) They operate in teams of 3-5, with the exception of the Objector scout, who works alone.

You can't attach the image to a PM, and you can't attach non-wargaming pics to dakka. I don't know if you even need an account to use imageshack (never used it - I've always had a photobucket account ).

I found a solution. I send one of you the save text in a PM, which you can then copy and paste into HeroMachine 2.5. You can then do the image capture thing, and host it on an image host. Next, you can send me a link to it in a PM, and I can post it. I hope one of you is willing to help me.
My Character. Please tell me if anything is wrong.
Hero Name: Atael, Lord of the Night
Age: 1,846,793 (He is Immortal)
Moral Standing: Evil, He fights for whoever he can, as long as he can kill things.
Costume:
Background: He was summoned from the death grounds of a planet called Feraximus, on the other side of the universe, by a sorcerer called Necorath. He was, in his former life, a great general and military genius, but in his death and re-birth, he became a powerful death sorcerer. He was raised from the dead in order to kill, and collect souls for the death gods, Kalin and Farasax. It is these gods who have granted him his power. He can't talk, as his organic components have long rotted away, but the Death gods gifted him with psychic abilities so that he can comunicate through psychic messages. His psy isn't strong enough to count as a power, but he can use it for comunication. He can hear, but not naturaly speak. Atael is death incarnate.
Faction: Darkstar
Superpower: Death Touch. Death comes in the form of dark lightning bolts, killing any mortal they touch. The soul of the target is ripped out, and sent to the death gods. If he touches a mortal with his sword or his lightning, they will die... Movement Power: Shadow Shifting. This power allows Atael to become a shadow. This lets him move through solid objects, and remove himself from the world, in the sense that he can’t be touched, or touch anyone else.
Super Weakness: Direct, Bright Sunlight. (He can survive in normal light, no matter the brightness, but bright sunlight, i.e. Not Dawn or Dusk, will damage him.) When exposed to sunlight, he has to transform into a Raven, or be slain by the light. Once in raven form, he is mortal, and will be killed as easily as any raven would be. He can't transform back into his normal form untill he is in the dark.
NPCs: Haldrax, Lord of The Dead Bio: Haldrax is younger than Atael, at only 527,193 years old, and is a master necromancer. He was raised from the graveyards of Galan Prime, after a nuclear apocalypse had whipped out the population. He was summoned by Atael as an assistant, to help him in the destruction of Nalar IV. They have worked together for more than half a million years, and now work in total unison with each other. He is, like Atael, pyschic and, again like Atael, can only use it for comunication. Super Power: Raise the Dead. This Super Power allows Haldrax to summon undead minions to aid his cause.
SilverMK2 wrote:You can't attach the image to a PM, and you can't attach non-wargaming pics to dakka. I don't know if you even need an account to use imageshack (never used it - I've always had a photobucket account ).
You can't attach non-wargaming images to dakka in the sense that you can't "attach" them to your posts, or upload them to the gallery. You can post non-wargaming images by using the IMG tags as long as those pictures are hosted somewhere else.
RE: side selction - sure, I will pick another side.
My character:
Name: Iris. Age: Unknown, but believed to be extremely old. Sex: Female. Super Movement: Short ranged teleporting (up to 50m) Super Power: Invisibility Super Weakness: Extremely vulnerable to certain forms of exotic radiation (left vague for ease of narrative). Appearance: Slightly smaller than average height, blonde hair, tanned Mediterranean skin, slim, good looking.
Faction: Good guys. Moral Standing: True neutral.
Background: Iris is thought to have been in existence for longer than humanity and inspired many of its earliest mythologies, most notably the Greek goddess bearing the same name. Throughout history she has acted more or less as her whims dictate, for "good" or "evil", taking sides (or working on her own) as the mood strikes her or for her own arcane and inhuman reasons.
For the last 100,000 years Iris has wondered the globe, pushing and pulling the course of humanity for her own goals or her own amusement. Occasionally surfacing into the mainstream, forming cults and movements before disappearing again, her goals completed.
The stirrings of the imminent hero war have brought her to seek her amusement amid the mortals of Paridiso where she has used her extremely powerful powers of persuasion and secuction to seed yet another cult to do her bidding; drawing on the beautiful people, celebrities and hangers-on who are endemic to Paridiso she has formed a dedicated core of worshipers and a diffuse network of "casual cultists" throughout Paridiso society. All report and act on her behalf, carrying out her mysterious wishes.

Ohhhh... for some reason I thought you meant you can't use the IMG tags in a PM. THAT I do all the time.
Ok, text based then, but how will it play?
Who will we fight?
Will the villans just go around commiting crimes, and the Heros hace to stop them?
Or will there be a storyline?
Background: Not much is known about the Outsider. Striking seemingly at random against fighters on both sides of the moral compass, he seems to be in pursuit of some kind of higher agenda or goal. However, those who have fought beside him describe him as almost as a vengeful ghost, hidden behind a brown cloth suit. Prefers to let actions speak louder than words, which is probably why he doesn’t speak much.
Superpower: Short range teleportation, at the peak of human fitness, can perform 'jedi mind trick'-esque feats.
Super Weakness: He is only human, and such, can succumb to all mortal wounds.
Faction: pursues his own goals, and so is a member of no specific faction. However, he has been known to work alongside the WFO on occasion-though he is definitely not a good team player. In essence, he is an Objector.
Who, me?
Neither really-though I will usually be helping out the side of good (for a change ) if I have to choose, I'll have my own agenda for my actions. Just as any wild card should.
Nnnk, so I was messin with the hero machine and I couldn't make it work the way I wanted it to for my character (not that I couldn't literally make it work, I've used it a few times before, its just that when I was done I didn't like how it looked)
For this reason I am requesting to be able to use a pic from the interwebz for my character instead of the hero machine like LLF...

Name: The Primordial Judge
Age: Older than the known universe
Moral Standing: True Neutral
Background: The being known as the Primordial Judge wanders the cosmos watching developing races attain their superpowers, observing and judging the race when their powers begin to reveal themselves. If they do not threaten the balance of the Universe, the Judge moves on, if not, it sees that the race is utterly destroyed. Now the Primordial Judge has come to earth, sadly, human supers are seen as a threat to the Judge's eye, and have been targeted for obliteration. However, something is preventing it from outright turning earth into dust, a phenomenon that puzzles and disturbs the Judge greatly. Something then forced it to the planet's surface, something that robbed it of most of it's power. Emerging from a massive crater, the Judge began a slow and determined eradication of human supers, and has already claimed the lives of Narto, Cosmic Avenger, Sentinel, Orion, Nefario and many others.
Superpowers: The Primordial Judge travels on eight spider-like legs, each containing a repulser field, granting it flight. In battle, the Primordial Judge wields a great glaive that fires blasts of matter-destroying energy.
Super Weakness: Unknown, it is however undoubtedly whatever downed the Primordial Judge in the first place.

Syrath has long white claws that shine with unnatural energy and carries a personalised butterfly knife which he conceals within his suit. Weapons and powers: Pair of long blade-like claws and other Supernatural powers Weaknesses: Extreme heat and Ranged Weaponry Faction: Dark Star
Seriously - I my character has teleporting, invisibility and a cult... then pretty much every character created afterwards has at least one of those things
You have a Cult, then I will have a small race of creatures at my disposal, Race X.
NPC Name: Race X
Background: A group of alien beings that serve Syrath, Race X are strange and unique beings that use the powers and carry strange living and psychic weaponry. They first arrived on earth during the 1998 after a experiment gone wrong and a dimensional rift allowed Race X to be joined by their leader Syrath who escaped with his minions.
So far, we have three variants of Objector Soldiers: A Recon class, the Agent (AI Constructs that are used as untraceable assassins, teams of ONE);
Spoiler:
A basic soldier class, the Base Trooper (Normal Human Mercs contracted by the Objectors, work in teams of 2)
Spoiler:
Finally for the Objectors, the shock troops, the Elite Trooper (Specialist soldiers used solely by the Objectors, have integrated armor, VERY slow, Teams of ONE)
Spoiler:
Now for the DARKSTAR (What if this was an acronym? Can anyone think of an awesome acronym for DARKSTAR?) Soldiers:
NOTE: These are all AI constructs. They do nothing except for what their master commands them to do.
First off, we have Enforcers: (5'10, have guns and shock batons. Teams of TWO)
Spoiler:
Next, Assassins: (5'5, Sniper wielding. Mild armor, slow-ish, teams of ONE)

All soldiers were made by Kasrkai. Somebody, give that man a cookie!
HOW I WILL USE THE SOLDIERS:
I will roll off. Let's say you are DARKSTAR, for a second. 1-2, you get, say, Enforcers. 3-4, a Assassin. 5-6, a team of Gnats. If you don't like your team paring, I will Roll again. That roll will be final. It could even be the same team you had!
We also have a beautifully written intro by one Mr. Mordoskul, one of my favorite RP'ers on the forum. I will reveal that in the first post of Paradiso lost.
Mordo. Like I said in our PM's, I love you sooo much
Also, I think I'll place all Character sheets in a new post and in the OP. With this, I will also make a list of things missing from people's RP sheets.
Background: Ryan was born into a middle class family in southern Arkansas. He graduated Hendrix College with a degree in Animation Design, and left for work in Paradiso after being offered a job as a cartoon animator. He discovered he had unusual abilities soon afterwards, but only when he turned 27 did his abilities come full force. He discovered that his abilities were a result of a genetic fault that occurs in one in one-hundred million. He quickly brought these abilities to his control, and became notorious for his brutal sense of justice. He is a hero, when the urge hits him, but otherwise, he tries to make his living as an animator or mercenary, breaking the law very rarely.

Once he is comfortable in someone's presence, he displays his warmer side. The same really, but a tad more friendly and less stiff. Also, he has an interest in Meta-Physics.
Major Power: Kinetic Force: Ryan can create "pushes" and "pulls" of varying power, usually in powerful blasts. Thus, his nick name, Wave.
He can use these in complicated ways to make exotic techniques, such as whirlwinds and shields. Last measurement showed a force of 400 Tons per square inch at 3,672 miles per hour.
Movement Power: Jump: Ryan can use his Kinetic Force to push himself into a tiny form, reducing drag and inertia, to propel himself at nearly the speed of sound. He can do this to others, but it is far less safe. However, this ability is extremely painful, and usually a last resort. Any distance beyond six miles will cause permanent physical damage.
Weakness: Fluids: If submerged in a liquid with a density equal or greater than water, he will be trapped, because he is a poor swimmer, and the properties and density of such materials make his powers almost useless.

People with to power issues: blood reaper (Has to many powers!), and BBL (Has one power!)
People with "Immortality" (This is getting knit-picky, I know. Just somehow find a way to be immortal w/o being immortal.): Raptors, Kaiser
I've added a poll, to ask people if they want it to be serious or silly.
If serious, the tone will be gritty, with death and decay surrounding the city, all sides causing widespread panic. If funny, it'll be more like a slapstick-y style, like Mystery Men.
Name: Gentleman Walrus
Age: ?
Moral Standing: True Neutral
Background: The being known as Gentleman Walrus comes from a perpendicular universe where Victorian England is controlled by super-intelligent Walri. The blubbery sea mammals developed incredible steam-powered exoskeletons to help them travel across the land. When war with the Molemanic Empire erupted, the WC turned their SPEXs to a more violent purpose, fastening cyclonic accelerators and other weapons of war to their suits. The Gentleman Walrus found himself on the forefront of the conflict, leading his own unit of Walri in his custom-built tea-powered steam suit. When the Invasion of Molemansylvania came about, it was the Gentleman and his squad that led the attack deep into the strange laboratories of the mole men. During the battle, Dr. Sissshissssissssssisssssshisssssissssssissshissssss unleashed the full might of his experimental teleportation device, transporting the Gentleman Walrus to our universe.
Superpowers: Has a jet pack attached to the back of his suit that allow his to fly. Tea-powered suit grants the Walrus super-strength, along with an assortment of deadly weaponry far more advanced than the most cutting-edge human technology.
Super Weakness: The Walrus is powerless without his SPEX, and can only flop awkwardly if he wants to move any distance.
Name: Clubby the Seal
Age: ?
Moral Standing: Chaotic Cute
Background: Aww.... wook at the wittle seal! He's so cute! Oo, he has his own wittle club! Don't you? Yes you do! You got a wittle club! I wuv his wittle whiskers! He smiled at me! *CRACK* Aw, the wittle seal crushed my kneecaps! Yes you did! Aw, he's so soft! Oo, wook, he's coming to finish me off, aren't ya, little guy?
Super Powers: Mind rending cuteness, Clubby the Seal can work his way into the heart of even the most vile villain.
Super Weakness: Clubby is still just a seal, and requires the Walrus to travel any considerable distance.

If serious, the tone will be gritty, with death and decay surrounding the city, all sides causing widespread panic. If funny, it'll be more like a slapstick-y style, like Mystery Men.
The intro caters to the gritty and dark feel, just look at what happened to our poor 'heros'!
Background: Syrath is a mysterious being, something that mankind will never know or see and really no one should. During the space of human time Syrath has tampered with events in order to benefit himself and has stopped Assassinations, rigid elections and murdered anyone who has tried to top him. All that is known is his Employers do not wish for his failure.
Abilities and weaponry: A Pair of Bailsong knifes and the power to create small energy bolts
Weakness: If unable to retain enough energy for a certain amount of time Syrath phases into another dimension and takes him a considerable amount of time to regain it

Are you an alien or human? Your pic opposes your description.
My guy is imortal in terms of that he will not die naturaly. He is gifted life by the gods of death, and therefore will never die without them willing it. The only way he can die is by exposure to direct light, when not in raven form, or by anything which would kill a raven, when in raven form. The reason he has a weakness is because the universe must stay in balance. A true immortal may never be created.
There is my IC solution to the immortality problem.

Blow a hole in the roof
Use telekenisis to move him outside
Go outside and force him to follow
Catch him when he is in raven form, and do prety much anything to kill him
ect...
Would just like to say that I'm still here, unfortunately I haven't been able to post much lately due to that annoying thing called "real life". Always gets in the way of important stuff .

So, people. Before I open this up to te public, certain people need NPCs. If you do not have NPCs within the next... 24 hours, I will make one for you. Based on a Final Fantasy 10 character.
Name: Asmodius (other monikers: the Raptor. The Night Lord. "Old Jack" Bird of Prey, the Raven, Screech Owl, Deathbird, Vulture)
Asmodius is not a true super but seeks the utter annihilation of them. believing them to be 'psykers'
equipment/powers: flamethrower (short range flame blaster meant to throw arial oponets off of his tail) melta (short range fusion cutter uses a microwave tech, to turn matter into slush witch solidifies within seconds) bolt pistol. (counts as high powered pistol) chainsword (counts as chainsaw-sword). knife. plasma pistol (shoots powerful bolts designed to reduce living matter into the impact area into charbroil. flak grenades(send out a storm of metal fragments), jump pack. (fly) claws. ( they constitute foot claws and hand claws being talons and pounces) power armor. (high density ceramic compound armor desinged to repel small arms fire with a built in infra-red sensor) bolter (bigger version of the bolt pistol and holds 30 rounds rather than ten) pair of fire hatchets.
moral standing: neutral evil
currently working for darkstar behind the scenes. prefers to work with gnats.
Asmodius arrived on the planet as an extraterrestrial human. and kn ows almost nothing abou his own past. he only sees standing in matiral wealth and sadism, where he seeks out thoes he deems unworthy of life, or who stand in his way and kills them. usually by dismembering or disemboweling. he tortures those who oppose him with an unheard of brutality. he commits evil acts for the sake of being evil.he is a geniuse at creating arial weapons. he preaches the power of the mysterious 'four' kings of the warp who grant his small cult of malcontents gifts, to coincide with their persnalitys.
Weakness. well he is a formidable opponet, his realm of battle is the skyline, and rooftops. he gets nervouse and edgy when on the ground and was some trouble walking accross the streets as his massive talons tend to search for handholds aoutomaticly. if he is forced to the ground he will try anythign to get to the Rooftops or airborne again. cute things drive him into a bloodthirsty rage. he can only carry three separate weapons at a time like batman, most of his powers are tech, therefor he has limits to what his loadout is and has to choose carfully. has an ammo limit but his jump packs are promethium fueled and can run nonstop for hours
NPC: The Eversor (the butcher, the slayer, the reaper, the banshee) the eversor is loyal to the utmost, and while he lacks the power of flight, he enjoys cutting down oppnets with his manreaper while on the roofspaces (weapons/equipment. Manreaper. [scythe, dipped in nightshade] Doom siren. [sonic pistol used to blast opponets off of their feet, and stun them] Claws. [his fingers have mutated into stilleto-like claws from the massive amounts of combat drugs pumped into his advanced bloodsteam] executioner 'pistol' (combo needler/bolter)
weakness: wthe Eversor takes the term "dynamic entry" to a whole new level. and as such has no concept of subtlety. if you annoy him he will punch you.
whenever he kills he takes time to reconsecrate himself for the kings of the warp he carries one religious sign. an eight-pointed-star.
(Before yoou say that he is OP know that he is acually at aweakness not having true superpowers and bieng limited to CC or ranged ammunition, along with only his claws, jump pack, and three weapons per battle)

Looks: from the outside it looks like a defunct radio tower atop a massive skyscraper. from the inside it is the refuge of the Raptor. he keeps all of his weapons of death and destruction in here. it extends into the attic of the office building below.
Protection: THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser) emplacements at every entrance
Name: Zetes Age: 3000+ years Sex: Male Super Power: Flight Super Weakness: Although tougher than a regular human, he can be killed by most attacks that would kill a human, though his demi-godhood offers him some protection from death. Alignment: True Neutral Appearance: Strong, well built male, tanned, Mediterranean skin, dark short hair. Ruggedly good looking. Dressed in modern, reasonably stylish clothes with form fitting body armour underneath.
Background: One of the Argonauts, Zetes is a demigod, son of the North Wind and as such has the power of flight. Zetes first came to Iris's attention as part of the Argonauts, where she had been watching their quest from the shadows and promised to protect Phineas from the harpies that had plagued him.
Reportedly killed, Zates and his brother were secretly saved by Iris and have worked with her throughout their long lives, acting as her hunters and scouts. It is unknown where Calais is working at this time... at least it is unknown to everyone except Iris and Zates...
Ryan never made a secret of being a superman. Nor did he have a secret hide-out. When he wasn't working, he was living at home, a two floor home with an attic and a basement, at #495 Shining Avenue. The house has three extra guest rooms, two bathrooms, a large living space, and a large kitchen. It seems totally ordinary, save for the hidden armory in the basement, containing all sorts of illegal high-powered weapons and armor, and a massive stock pile of supplies to last a ten person group a decade.
Hideout Name: Ba’Xeh’Vac (The Place of Death Eternal, in the language of the Death Gods)
Location: Deep Underground underneath the Main City.
Size: A large cave complex, with a central cavern where rituals are performed.
Description:
The majority of the cave system is in complete darkness, unless lit by the glowing red eyes of the Death Lords. The caves are hewn out of a dense black rock found only near the core of populated planets. This rock it the sign of the death gods, and is all but indestructible. It is called Eternogen and is made out of the pure energy which the death gods use to kill people, made solid. The rock is jet black, but will sometimes glow a slight silver in the cracks of its rough surface when a ritual to the gods is performed.
The central cavern is lit by the flickering red flames of the Eternity Torches mounted on the walls, as well as the purple and black flames of the Death Fire in the centre of the cavern. The caverns are filled with the daemons of death which inhabit the death realm and find their way into the real world through Death Fires.
The only way in or out of Ba’Xeh’Vac is through the imposing Portal in the central cavern, directly behind the Death Fire and up some stairs inscribed with ancient runes. The portal is invisible to everyone but the death lords, and will only work on their command. The subway station entrance is collapsed part way down the stairs, but there is a small tunnel which comes out in a wood inside a inner city park near the main council buildings of the city.
Protection: The Daemons of Death will utterly destroy the soul and body of any living thing which enters the caves without the protection of the death lords.
always watch out for those normals... (I wanted a place that coincides with a chaos raptor (BTW I just had an idia, every "day" we state the weather that has an effect on PCs
Skycrawler wrote:I cant get the hero engine thing to work...othere wise i would join.
You can just find a different character maker, or a pic from the net.
About the weather, I think that is a good idea. It should be up to the GM to decide that though, possibly a random chart.
Maybe it could be posted in a once per IRL day post by the GM, which tells you about the day. It could include things like weather and any special events in the city i.e Carnival, Christmas Shopping Rush ect
Possibly something like this:
Weather Chart – 2D6 2-3 = Rain
4-6 = Cloudy
7-8 = Sunny
9 = Thunder Storm
10 = Fog
11 = Snow
12 = Extreme Weather (See separate chart)
Hideout: Luxury penthouse apartment complex at the top of one of the city centre skyscraper buildings.
Iris's cult own most of the top half of the building and it is filled with offices, training rooms, gyms, temples and armouries, as well as libraries, barracks rooms and associated support equipment (kitchens, communication and security room, etc).
Hmmm...not to throw a proverbial spanner in the works, but does my character really need a NPC/hideout? Him being a loner is kind of the whole point...
Little lord Fauntleroy wrote:Hmmm...not to throw a proverbial spanner in the works, but does my character really need a NPC/hideout? Him being a loner is kind of the whole point...
Make the NPC a small animal which he keeps as a pet, and the Hideout as a cave in the middle of nowhere where he lives on his own.
Or something like that.

Mobile Fortress: Cardboard box: Highly mobile, effective VS. Rain.

Okay, I admit it, I may have 'borrowed' his name without asking. But the way I see it he's in no position to complain.

He won't kill me, I am death.
How would that work?
Wait, I have got to see your character sheet, seeing as not only can I turn into a skeleton with a black cloak and with a scythe, but I also have death powers, and my name means "violent death", and also seeing as the Grim Reaper (spirit of death) gave me my powers...

... we should team up if so...
Really, it is in the OP with the others. I would love to work with a fellow lord of death.
Edit: Just read your sheet, and it looks like we would make a good team. Feel free to post that you 'live' in the Ba’Xeh’Vac, and work with Atael, Lord of the Night.

So, Your the G-man, and now you're in Black Mesa?
Oh, and did you get that picture.
Yep, I'll add the pick to the last profile I made.
I made him the leader of The Objectors. Yes, he's psychic. Can you imagine if a tactical leader could just pop an order into yours and your comrades heads instantly?
Napoleon is turning in his grave.
EDIT: "OBJECTAHS! TODAH THE ENEMAH IS AT OWA DOOR! FOR PARDISOH!"
I am pretty good at map making and took orienteering in the boy scouts. (but I dont know any map-making software (I cant use any with pen and paper as we are missing a printer
Hero Name (If applies, also add secret identity): Dirk "Ghost" Bennett
Age: 18
Moral Standing: Chaotic Good (this sounds right)
Costume:
Background: Dirk Bennet lives in a small, aircraft hangar at an abandoned airfield where he restores old aircraft. Not much is known about him. He discovered his power one day when he fell off the control tower and wound up teleporting safely onto the ground. Since then he has kept a low profile while trying to tame his unpredictable ability. He has known about his electricity powers for a while now though
and sometimes uses it for welding or powering small appliances.
Superpower: short range teleportation(ie one city block) elctricity(he's working on a plane that runs on his power). His gear is whatever he has on hand (kinda like MacGyver except not so skilled.)
Super Weakness: Cant swim and is terrified of heights (except when flying)
NPCs: A falcon named Freefall that has the power to turn into a highly maneuverable fighter plane.
Looks quite good, but I was hoping for something more detailed.
Does anyone have access to some map making software, I have seen some free stuff on the web before.
I leave for a measly 4 hours and you all post... On topic for four fething pages?
Good work, everyone! I hope to get this badboy up and running soon, as all members are contributing to the fluff of Paradiso and what the city will look like. I will say this again, good work, everyone!
