UUMIE!

 

[UnseenMaiden]

Chas! How's the superhero business treating you?

Chas! How's the superhero business treating you?

Not bad, not bad.

I'm obsessed as always.

Hopefully my GM technique has improved since our PoT days.

I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU THOUGH

How's lurking treating you?

 

[UnseenMaiden]

My baby is healthy and happy but I'm bored as hell when she's sleeping.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Congrats on the Baby, but take the time to appreciate the boredom. Soon you won't have anytime to yourself

 

[UnseenMaiden]

Oh I was a nanny for years and years. I know it. I just need something for my mind to chew every now and again.

Ain't that the truth!

The way I understand it, Intellect and Combat work differently from the other rankings.

90 is the accepted human maximum or thereabouts. And with those scales it's only above 90 that you get into the exponential jumps that you get with superhumans.

Like, with Combat Deathstroke would be a 91, Karate Kid would be a 93, but Batman and Nightwing and Red Hood are all 90s.

With regards to Intelligence, human geniuses are 90, as well. Only with vastly supercomputational intellects like Brainiac and their ilk do you get into the mid-to-high 90s.

So you were fine with having his intelligence be 70ish, because that's still quite high for a human it's just not upper-level-human-genius.

And you're absolutely fine with having his Combat be 80s, because he'll have instinctual advantages from various animals and training from other Titans (if you want him to have a connection to The Titans in his backstory).

Wait wait m I getting this straight?

Deathstroke will be able to out-battle The Bat????

Of course. Deathstroke is an Augmented Human. He has a sort of Super Solider serum enabling him to Access more than the usual 10% of the human brain used by a normal human. Hell he can even keep up with the Flash. (Or at least predict his movements).

Bat's is only at the peak of Human development.

 

[TertiusHuman]

Schweet!!!

Never knew Mirakuru can be so awesome!!

Puts another spin on my Venom character

 

[TertiusHuman]

OK if I get OK'ed with Beast Boy, what is the idea? How much of the IC should I read to get a kinda drift of where we are at or is there some sort of manual which will give me kind of an idea what is going on?

 

[Varshanka]

Go Beast Boy Go. Welcome aboard, don't mind the Kaos.

Well, remember that numbers only tell part of the story.

Peak-level humans have been able to do Deathstroke a mischief in the past-- but it's always one of the hardest things they've ever done. Sportsmaster was able to match Deathstroke but not outright beat him in the "Young Justice" cartoon. In the comics, Deathstroke basically disassembled Nightwing on at least one occasion-- and since then, I've seen Nightwing opt to throw Slade off-balance, secure his objective, and get away rather than attempt to engage him in a straight fight.

But Batman has beaten Deathstroke. Bats kept Slade's sword on the wall of The Cave for awhile as a trophy, and I remember Deathstroke threatening him "I'm coming back for my sword one of these days."

So numbers are numbers.

But Batman is Batman.

Read as much as you can of both the IC and the OOC. It'll give you a feel for the historical context and cut down on continuity lockout.

If you wanted to take kizkiz' suggestion and join in with RP!Kiz' storyline, I might pay special attention to the events in New York tied with Kiz' arrival, especially the block-wrecking fracas presently going down with John Constantine.

If you wanted to do your own thing with an intro, be thinking about a major North American city that you want to start off in. (Probably also New York, if you're connecting him to The Titans. If not, anywhere in North America is fine, I have ideas as to how we can plot-hook you into the Big Event that's just down the pipeline.)

Oh I agree totally with that statement. Hell Bat's takes on Superman and damn well holds his own. He knows everyone's weaknesses and how to exploit them. I think our dear Rider would definitely pick him as the Lancelot.

Batman would definitely be a dual character.. Lancelot and




The Dark Knight


MUahahhahaha

 

[kizkiz]

Nice one.

[ChasNicollette]

Aussie, have you decided what city you're going to have Velocity start up in?

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Well you have a lot going on in New York and now San Fran. I was thinking that as she is actually trying to hide out she might try to avoid the Major hubs, but still be in a decent place.

I was thinking Major University. She is trying to catch up on her education so perhaps MIT. That would place her close to New York as well but away from prying eyes allowing her to just be a regular kid.

 

[ChasNicollette]

MIT is in Cambridge, so that's close enough to Boston to work.

That works!

Okay, thanks

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

If you want I can do an intro post before everything kicks off. I do have one all worked out.

It might help to sort of have her established a little, however I didn't want to post once and then just sort of post with mundane things to keep her going, so was hoping to only do it when next Arc was ready to go, or very soon before.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Go ahead and drop your intro, please, if that's okay?

I don't know how soon the Event will kick off, but I'm aiming for soon.

Arrow and Rider, I think this will happen next morning for you guys, so, sorry for derailing your picnic.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Awww and I was looking forward to that picnic. Dammit.

Okay post coming up.
