:headbang: Damnit!!! Knew there was something I was forgetting! Sorry, sorry.

It happens. Don't worry about it.

Remember though, in DC canon, the top JLA and JSA security systems included "and even some of that really scary stuff that Bruce invented." It's analogous to Mr. Fantastic or Iron Man of Marvel Comics. And as far as power levels go for mystic breaks, like we already stated, Doctor Fate would have at least put a major warding system up that, coupled with Thanagarian and Batman's stuff, would have kept out mystic breaks. (Thanagarian sensors have magic field disruption, and since Batman had a working knowledge of magical attacks, he would have done enough to conceal his location from even the Great Lords.)

On the other hand, the use of Wayne Enterprises, now under the direction of the Board of Governors, for use in amplifying earth's tech while incorporating Kryptonian, Thanagarian, and Martian systems to a self-sustenance level comparative to the depiction of universal standards would make sense. You'd probably be talking with Lucious Fox's three grandsons, who have the Wayne stamp of approval from Wayne Enterprise's owner.


Ok well since it sounds like you don't want her base in the cave system at all maybe she could pick out an island or two in international waters or build some type of undersea base.

Ok well since it souds like you don't want her base in the cave system at all maybe she could pick out an island or two in international waters or build some type of undersea base.

Try the islands near Blackgate. There's seperate cave systems there that could be drained for She Bat's use.

Where is Blackgate?

Blackgate is a small island south of Gotham, with a penitentiary on it. It's a maximum security prison generally designed for villains with either no meta-human powers or easily contained powers, though now it's just a maximum security prison with no supervillains.

For a real life idea on what it's like, think of Alcatraz. Only in Jersey, and with some small islands nearby that access a medium sized cave system partially flooded. Gotham's geologic formation was based on a layer of high tensile bedrock (hence the amplification effect of the earthquake precipitating NML) that caused more than just the Batcave to form.

Very Interesting .... I never heard of that, I guess I didn't know as much as I thought. Is there a link that I could look at? If not I could probly make something up using my CC3 software.

I found some more really interesting links while looking for info on Blackgate Prison. I think it will serve Lady Moonette purpose nicely. Also I think that a rebirth of Solomon Grundy would be a great first adversary for Lady. What do you think?

Here's the search link:

Now I have to wait while my character sleeps :D

NEIN!!! Please, Kor, I'm begging you, let the dead and/or undead rest. We're trying to do this as the beginnings of a new cycle, and Woosh has made his wishes of no former DC superhumans to be used very clear.

To clear up, once and for all folks, this is to be toned down with low end power levels and no usage of previous heroes except that which is found in the history books. As Woosh, Breit and I have stated, one or two chars from an older RP might appear, but that's going to be done on an extremely limited basis.

TG Breit. The guys in the elevator have moved, the ball is now in your park.

Calm down arthur for crying out loud, I just read yesterday that SG always returns sooner or later. I was just asking you, do you need to continually jump me every time? So should I make up my own people for her to fight or what?

Pretty much. Breit and I will be throwing some of the big villains at y'all soon, but get your batting practice in whilst ye can.

Dammit! Back to the drawing board.

Its been known to happened in the comic books, I mean look at the dirty trick Lex Luthor pulled on Superman in the newest Superman movie. Creating a new continent with green k mixed into it. My point is that Superman is very well known, to well known actually .... to really be effective. Everyone knows his strengths and weaknesses. Our characters are totally unknown, so you would think no one would be able to do that to them. But you did say that the powers that be have ways of tracking unprotected metahumans. I didn't say it to be mean or to cut your honor down .... it just seemed like a possibility.

Hey Kor. since this is, like, years beyond Batman Beyond... any changes to Origins?

How long would the con be? a week? and would it be now incorporating Electronic RP's as well as VRRPGs?

Last IC post by Breit, I believe, shows Aenima overpowering his would be interrogators. Metahumans have unique signatures, it's just that the few they've gone after (in the thread) were ones that could avoid scrutiny or escape capture easily. Shield/Sunder's conflicting mental state and Breit's EM bender caused the devices to malfunction. Roger busted the only psionic scanner, and proved to be too much trouble to bring in.

Dammit! Back to the drawing board.

We could Deus Ex Machina her. I think a couple of anvils falling out of a transport plane just might be enough to distract her long enough to actually be mistakenly attacked by Dragon Blood. We'll need an Entropy Curse!!!

I'm ruling that Chandra lives in the same building as Aenima, if that's ok. :p

Aenima's in a hotel.

Hey Kor. since this is, like, years beyond Batman Beyond... any changes to Origins?

Yes it would take advantage of new ideas and the higher tech levels. I was envisioning computer games, virual reality, and maybe even something similiar to the holodecks of Star Trek fame. Also I would imagine that even the RPG's would use sometype of table top imaging system to give the game more realism to its players. I've been researching senario's for involving Origins in the terrorist threat. Maybe a terrorist that hates gamers because he or she sees them as major geeks. Also the terrorist could target a movie star that is attending the expo.

Kor, Entropy Curses are very highly amped up bad luck spells. Like being killed while water-skiing underneath a bridge when a car careens of the top and lands right on top of you. Or having a plane that's flying overhead accidentally drop one of the anvils that they're carrying as part of their cargo right on top of your head. Dresden Files: Blood Rites, if you want to see how it actually plays.

Using an Entropy curse to cause an anvil to fall on Lady Moonette and She-Bat in order to distract them is my idea of a joke. :)

Query? I was planning a cameo from retired Police Commish Barbara Gordon... is this allowed?

Here's a east coast map of dc city locations I found on that link you gave me:

Not trying to start anything, just showing it to you

Here's a map of Gotham that you can actually read:

We can use this to accurately describe the locatation of our characters in Gotham.

Kor, noticed ye found ol' Blackgate Island. I shoulda remembered about the bridge though...*mumbles about various stuff, one train of thought leading to another, finally ending with comments about finishing the Sherlock Holmes anthology on my bookshelf.*

King, you refering to Julian in the 'double reading on the kid'?

King, you refering to Julian in the 'double reading on the kid'?

No, I'm referencing Josh, Breit's hero. Double natures with complimentary suppression shadow one on a meta-human scanner, but kinesis of the EM spectrum from low end radio waves to high end gamma rays means the scanners will go on the fritz.

I take it by the lack of Comment I can have a cameo from Former Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon?

Kor... TG!

Eh, sorry JuNii, Barb's dead. we're "a SWAG-ed 150 years after the first departure of the entire JLA original charter members." Since "SWAG" is short for "Scientific Wild Ass Guess," it's not definitive, just in the area. And not just for plot purposes, but seeing as how she was paralyzed, I think Barbara would have passed on by then.

For DM-ing purposes, a new villain (Breit, I give you your lieutenant)

Name: Matthew Howard Zinn
Alias: Wager
Age: 36
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Hair: brown, long
Eyes: Blue

Skills: electrical engineering, computer programming, conventional knowledge of interrogation

Abilities: Scan-only Telepathy. He can read minds, and is aware of the presence of anybody based on their psionic signature (as unigue as your DNA or fingerprint), but he cannot intrude or block the thoughts of a person. Minor sonickinesis (sound bending)

Weakness: psionic backlash, visual sensory overload (flashing colors/lights, etc, give him a seizure).

Bio: A rather unremarkable child-hood, Matthew grew up in Vegas, where he learned the methods and mechanics of Black Jack, Poker, Roullette, and Dice. During his college years, he financed the costs of room and board through his skills at the tables, becoming freinds, and enemies, with many of the pit bosses.

It was after his graduation that his powers first began to develop, at first empathatic readings of deceit, honesty, and other emotions associated with gambling. He eventually became a habitual, and then professional, gambler, often winning enough to pay for his expenses a few moths at a time. He kept somewhat unsteady employment, finding himself at ease during times of unemployment by simply wagering for the money he needed.

After growing tired of Vegas, Matthew took up traveling, and thus found himself in Gotham...

NBD. I thought it was made mention that Batman Beyond was also cannon for this story. seeing that Babs was the commissioner then (thus the possibility of surgery getting to the point of repairing her spine) I just thought it was close enough to have her still around as retired. :p

No, even with advancement in health, living over 100 years past one's prime with a medical history including paralysis repaired years after the inducement is still not yet achievable.

Cool. I think it's time for the first big battle of the RP.

Replied.

Folks there aren't any real weapons normally allowed at Origins. What is all these sword fights at origins? Is this a play or terrorist attacking people at origins or what? I'm just not sure how I to proceed with my character.

Folks there aren't any real weapons normally allowed at Origins. What is all these sword fights at origins? Is this a play or terrorist attacking people at origins or what? I'm just not sure how I to proceed with my character.

Two points.

1) With the advancement of technology, I figure that replicas of medival/20th centry weapons would make telling a false broadsword from a real one almost impossible without testing for an edge. And a dulled sword still hurts. even if it's wooden/plastic. (remember the time this story takes place. Years after Batman Beyond.)

same with guns. paintballs are not lethal, but they do hurt! Airsoft also stings.

2) Add to that groups that may (emphasis on may) be licenced to carry the real deal as part of a historical society or even rping (SCA) may offer the chance of real weapons being 'snuck in.'

So this fight, is just something that got outta hand. Chandra doesn't know if those weapons are fake or not (not), but the fight/brawl is real. I figure, if anything your character can see mine in action (as someone else did) and that will give you a partial 'reason' to establish contact should you need help with your story... you can even 'rule' that the Con's security moves in and rounds everyone up (including lil ole me.) ;)

I'm okay with weapons at the con. Plus, there's going to be a villian/hero battle there soon, so that should make the fighters cease and get out before they're destroyed.

Damn forgot about the sig again :rolleyes:

I'll post tomorrow as soon as I get home from work.

... ok... this is getting confusing...

so far...

There's a Festival and a Con in Gotham.

Origins Convention in Ohio...

so where is everyone?

Me, King A, and Theao have chars in the con/fest in gotham. I assume yor chars are in the Ohio one, right?

Fascinating so far everybody, especially Junii. Although, I'll admit that Wyldside is a little bit too cliché at the moment, the writing style and character behind it more than makes up for it.

Are you talking about Origins in Columbus or the Con in Gotham City? Because I was talking about Origins, but I think I will have Lady show up at the one in Gotham. SheBat is already at Origins and about to get into the fight there. Also I could use Koramerica to RP Columbus Police or Origins Security.

They build very advanced aircraft and space craft as well as star bases, space weapons, and antigrav generators. The Navarone and Airbike they built for SheBat was commission work. Their CEO Gwendilynne Shultz aka Lady Monette is in Gotham right now on business but you could just call the office in New York City to make an order.

Arthur I would like to bring an old enemy of Lady Moonette into the thread
if it's ok with you. She is an evil mutant that can manipulate matter and energy .... I call her Matergy. Her birth name is Tiffany Rethmoore and her powers include shapeshifting of herself, & the ability to reshape the emotions and personalities of others. She owns Rethmoore Pharm. and would have access to the same level of technology as Lady. She would also need a few henchmen, the main one being Monte Kirk Omequist who is her crime boss and CEO of Omequist Industries. What do you think?

THE CHARACTER TEMPLATE

Real Name: Tiffany Rethmoore
Alias: Matergy
Age: Appears to be 25 to 30
Height: 5’5’
Weight: 110
Appearance: Petite Blonde with pointed ears
Personality:[/b] Grandiose Psychopath ;
Grandiose: -- Matergy believes that she is an extremely important person in the scheme of things, an invaluable member of society, and that her mutant powers will help her make some great contribution to her family.
Psychopath: Things that would normally produce guilt, insecurity, and anticipation of punishment in ordinary people produce feelings of self-esteem, security, and self-cohesion in Matergy. She only experiences a sense of being true to her real self when she is persecuting others, inducing pain and suffering, and further experiencing feedback about how much malicious destruction she has done.
Abilities and/or Powers: Energy Manipulation, Heal herself, Reshape Emotions and Personalities
Weakness(es): Her need for experiencing feedback about the malicious destruction she has caused. Her belief that she is invincible dealing with normal people. And her hatred for Lady Moonette, ( because Lady has foiled many of her schemes ). Her Grandiose side believes that Ladies destruction is the only thing that will allow her to fully realize her potential.
Background: Tiffany was born to rich parents who gave her everything she ever wanted and raised her to believe she was someone very special that would someday make a
very important contribution to their family. Early in her life she realized she had mutant powers which only added to her Grandiose ideal of herself. Since becoming an adult she has endeavored to build her own crime syndicate around her. On her home planet she controls world events by reshaping key figures emotions and personalities. In the Nelchizedeke Cluster she has endeavored to expand her control throughout the cluster, but has always been defeated by Lady and her associates in the Cluster. When Lady was transferred to the Sol System Tiffany saw an opportunity to defeat Lady by taking over Earth in the same way she did her home planet.

I don't mind you using her, but the power level seems a little overdone. I'd say that if the healing is low level (Spider-Man, pre-"The Other" storyline levels) and the psionic powers to high telempathy (emotion but not full personality rearrangement) then it's accepted.

On a more important note, I'm sorry that I have been away, my place got nailed by lightning, thus limiting my ability to get online. On an entirely and completely unrelated note, I have decided to never live in Florida.

I think that Ed and Rio are in Gotham's warehouse/ low rent/ light manufacturing area possilby near the docks around #18 on the Gotham map. I don't imagine that area and property near Arkam would be very popular among developers ( ie little to no gentrification / rehabing going on, lots of abandoned buildings, closed down businesses, no- tel motels and even cheaper...

I wasn't aware that spiderman ever had the power to heal himself, so I'm not sure what those levels are. Also I never said she had telepathy or psionics. Her main power is too basically shapechange both herself and others by touch, I call that Matter & Energy Manipulation. I could change the Reshape Emotions and Personalities to a drug that she gives her victims instead of an active power since she does own a pharm. company. You know something similiar to the drug used by US Government forces in X-Men 2. For that matter her healing could be caused by nano technology instead of an active power. What do you think?

Personal Note: I'm sorry to hear about your experience with lightning striking your home. Florida weather has gotten progressively worse in the last few years. But thank God it didn't hurt anyone in the process. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

very cool char. Perhaps she and Aenima could team up for some villianous actions? Could be what we need to jumpstart the main conflict (which is non existant at this point, my bad guys :D)

Tho the Idea of spiderman swinging around in a wheelchair...
or Wonder Woman dealing with "her time of the month"
or heck, batman having to leave a crime scene to use the bathroom (or would that be Bat-room?)

OK, advanced shape changing is fine, and would even cover quicker metabolic function in repairing wounds. It's not point blank headshot wound recovery, but it would cover sprains, abrasions, and faster healing from broken bones.

On a side note, I have figured out what a conversation between Arthur Pendragon and Roger would have gone like (comically adapted from Monty Python):
King A: Now, stand aside, worthy adversary!
Roger: 'Tis but a scratch!
King A: A scratch? Your arm's off!
Roger: No it's not.
King A: Well, what's that then?
Roger looks at his amputated limb, only to shrug off the effect.
Roger: I've had worse.
King A: LIAR!
Roger: Just give me a moment, I'll have to re-grow it.
King A: But I cut your arm off!
Roger: It's only a flesh wound.
They fight. Roger's arm regrows.
Roger: Told you I've had worse.



If you read it carefully, you'd have realized that I don't live in Florida (and what with Hurricanes, rigged elections, the FCAT, and insurance spikes, who would live there?). My place is fine, though the guy two floors below me swears that it's the damn Yanks fault. If you ever come to see me in real life, I will be happy to tell you all stories of the nutballs in the greater Atlanta area. Or maybe just Georgia in general. The Dukes of Hazzard never really did us justice.

very cool char. Perhaps she and Aenima could team up for some villianous actions? Could be what we need to jumpstart the main conflict (which is non existant at this point, my bad guys :D)


Sounds good to me, we just need to come up with a plausible meeting storyline. Although I'm not sure how trustworthy Tiffany might be even with associates. I'll try to research a little more on
Grandiose Psychopath's.

I lived in Atlanta for about 18 months back in 87 then I moved to Orlando. Then In 89-90 I moved back to Ohio.

I'm open to suggestions. After this battle Aenima is returning to the hotel, so if you have an idea, go for it.

I can't believe nobody found my re-imagining of Monty Python's Black Knight sequence funny. What if the Black Knight really had received worse?

Oh, and TG Breit.

Is this still open and/or when would you expect to start another?

Also, I've read through this and I'm not clear if you are basing this off any rule system or free forming it.

Thanks.

Breit .... Moonette ( sorry I said Matergy in the TG ) doesn't have a house in Gotham yet as she just bought Black Gate Isle where the old prison was that are south of the city and the one between it and the city. By now her construction crew should be there on both islands starting to build. She is exploring a cave system she found on the seaward side of the outer island. Her next post will cover her adventures exploring the cave so far.
Beyond that she uses her magic to shield herself and SheBat from being detected by tracers. If you feel Aenima could still trace her you could try to find her in the caverns if you'd like but it should be very hard to do with her magic and the caverns natural cover.
On another note Tiffany Rethmore aka Matergy is flying over downtown Gotham City in the form of a sea gull, she would be much easier to track. Also she is looking for hinchmen to work with her but beware because of her issues she most likely won't play well with someone trying to boss her.

I see. Well, Aenima can find Matergy, and the two can try to strike up an alliance. It can be a shaky one, which could be another plot point for later in the RP.

kor, how many explosives are you going to have planted and how large a terrorist group will this be?


Just the one bomb we found at Origins ( one block east of Nationwide Arena on the northeast corner of Nationwide Blvd and High St ) , one at Columbus International Airport, one in city center mall and a car bomb near columbus state community college. I'm not really wanting any of them to go off, rather I would like to make an interesting storyline where we stop them in the nick of time. I figure the cops should be able find the one at city center mall and the car bomb. Likewise airport security should find the one at the airport and we hear about it somehow ( newspaper, radio, TV, word of mouth, etc ) and we go help get rid of them while saving lives etc .... Since the convention is downtown the car bomb could be the second found, followed by the bus station which is downtown as well, then finish up with the airport bomb.
Do have any suggestions on how to handle the situation we are in now? I could come up with something using my characters only but I wanted to give you a chance to play a part in the battle thats why I had Gino follow me.

one of two situations. I figure the propane fuled bomb at the food booths (where there would be other propane stoves and oils and gas would make for a better blast)

1) you stop them, Chandra stops the bomb (which I plan on having explode.) ;)

2) you stop the bomb and chandra assists with one or two of the thugs.

she'll be groggy now, so the opening move is yours.

and you can have Gino in the fight. he's a decent fighter, just no meta ability.

oh, and we can always Interrogate the suspects and they give us the location of the other bombs, thinking that we'ld be too late to stop them.

Sorry about yesterday I just posted a moment ago. JuNii I left your characters health open to you. If she's alright thats fine, if not I can have her transported to medical help. Lt. Hawks didn't come right out and say the cops are just behind them, but he implied it.

Kor, I'm waiting on Matergy to respond to Aenima.

Cursory examination will reveal that she is unconcious and exhausted. She will have some bruising, but nothing broken (basically, she overextended herself.)

so I would say... getting her out would be nice. but Medical help is not necessary. she'll recover in 15 - 30 minutes.



Oh and query about the MIB's... since this will generate some news coverage (giant marshmallow ball bouncing around town) how... ruthless will these people be in getting their metas?

In reality Ohio's government is not the most forward thinking group of people so I would say that they would be very ruthless. They love to be in control and we represent a threat to their control. But I would like to find and get rid of all the bombs before we have any serious problems with the authorities. Although a good chase scene at some point would add flavor to the storyline, as would an attempt to capture us would. However the possiblity of them ever capturing and holding SheBat is remote at best because of her powers, her company network and finally her newly aquired friend on the east coast.

Yea I'm sure that the explosion and your giant bouncing marshmallow was definately noticed by authorities but remember SheBat had faxed copies of the Documents she found in New York to the Columbus Police Department. Because of this they are aware of the threat but she of course doesn't have a relationship with them like Batman had with Gotham City Police. If caught she would most likely be considered nothing more then a meta human vigilate.

Arthur I was wondering did we ever decide how much game time passes in one RL day?

btw Kor, Is Nikki and her squad evac'ing or are you waiting for Chandra to wake up?

btw Kor, Is Nikki and her squad evac'ing or are you waiting for Chandra to wake up?


SheBat, Chandra and Lt. Hawks security team is now resting comfortably in the basement suites of Matergy International. Chandra is in Guest Suite 3 and is being watched by a company corpsman ( medical technician ) until she wakes up. The facility your character is in is in fact the company fallout shelter and is extremely plush.

Arthur I was wondering did we ever decide how much game time passes in one RL day?

It's a bit hard to say a certain amount of time passes each RL day, sometimes people can't get on daily. It's better to let the time flow in the posts rather then say that a certain amount of time passes per RL day.

What Drac said.

Breit I will post today I am still looking for Wager's powers, I thought I copied all of the characters into my notes but I must have missed his.

************

JuNii I will also post concerning the terrorist in ohio today too. By the way there are always people around that can get in touch with Nikki for Chandra or get her anything she needs. Nikki's offer to set her up in her in her own base of operations is meant to be payment for her help finding and care of the remaining bombs. The only parts of the building not open to her is the armory and other sensitive area's like that. The upper floors are mostly offices though which the company is ran. The employees up there for the most part don't know much about the lower floors because they aren't authorizied to go down there. But she could always easily find one of Lt. Hawks men in the area she is in. The offer is not something she has to except, she is free to leave if she doesn't want to help.

Breit: I have looked through both the OCC & IC Threads concerning Wagers powers and haven't found much. Maybe I overlooked something as all those posts are alot to go through. Could you give me a description of Wager's power so I can figure out how he will fit our plans? Thanks

Thats cool SheBat is going to scan the other locations with her Air Bike then she might make another appearance at the convention. She wants to give the situation there time to calm down a bit before returning.

I have an idea for another character .... this one would be totally new, not another one I have had for years. I'm thinking of allowing the bomb at the bus terminal to explode. Then when firefighters show up to put out the fire a female firefighter is effected by a sometype of chemical or something which eventually gives her powers similiar to Johnny Storm. But it would also make her go mad with delutions of granduer and lust for power making her a villious instead of a good girl. She might end up becoming a member of the new mole hill mob. What do you all think?

Arthur am I to assume that Roger and company has just entered the subway station where Matergy is? Or am I reading your post wrong? If I am reading it correctly then Matergy would definately stand out of the crowd by body language that conveys massive amounts of assertiveness.

Roger has been looking for about half a second. Most of that is the usual split second thinking, and he'll notice Matergy, it was just me getting Roger and Duo off the subway train. Drac and I are operating in really distinct time zones, so we're doing what we can.

Uh, Kor, Rog has got two things on his face. First is the upper mask, and then he's got a pretty big hood up, with aviator glasses. Everything that's under a mask is shadowed (and let's face it, the light isn't good in subway stations), leaving only his mouth (with noticeable stubble) visible.

I don't remember reading anything about that before posting

Yes, it's still there, and now it is an effective facility (no revolving door anymore, now that it's not being used for metahumans).

Cool I'm going to have Matergy set up shop in the bowels of the building. I'm sure there is old subway and sewer tunnels beneath it that she could utilize as entrances and exits for a secret base and one source of new members of her crew.

Uhh, I guess you could set up shop underneath it, but like I said, it's an effective facility. The staff knows when a patient/inmate goes missing, and they had done major overhauls to the facilities to prevent the old epidemic of inmates leaving as others were checked in. Go ahead, just, be prepared.

I've already begun setting up a base beneath Arkham and have told Aenima he can tranport his new gang there. I believe that between Aenima's & Matergys powers and their other resources they can at least successfully build a base there. There are plenty of places to get new members from other then the Arkham population if your major overhauls prove more then we can handle.

Arthur I am not familiar with a character named " Hrocko ". Is there a character sheet for him / her? I need some character information before I can include him / her in a post.

Arthur I am not familiar with a character named " Hrocko ". Is there a character sheet for him / her? I need some character information before I can include him / her in a post.

Agent Hrocko is, along with Agent Baerdin, one of the men in the shadows, a simple NPC that only contacts a person when faced with a problem easily solved by that person. If you want a comparison, consider him and Baerdin to be very secretive, effectively unreachable versions of Nick Fury. They know a lot, occasionally have other verifiable heroes do some odd work, and very rarely get involved directly, and I only use them as plot elements.

As for a character sheet, I can't really provide one. Their orientation went something like this:

Orienter: You'll dress only in attire specially sanctioned by MiB special services. You'll conform to the identity we give you, eat where we tell you, live where we tell you. From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name. Silence, your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're "them." We're "they." We are: The. Men. In. Black.

They aren't really the Men in Black, it's just a movie, but they fit image. Unremarkable. Dismissable. Unless I put them in the field, they're in a highly classified facility located at an undisclosed location doing unknown things. When I have them contact one of your characters, it'll be there, noticeable, but unremarkable.

That will work for most of my characters however I believe that Lady Moonette would be able to discern them readily because of her magic.

Right, about that, um, how exactly would that work? I'd imagine that if they are just sitting at a bench in the park, you wouldn't really notice them, or have reason to. I mean, unless she had a reason to use a discernment spell, they should just go on being indistinctive. I just need some clarification on how the magic aspect would work.

TG Kor.

Moonettes tracking ability for Matergy

Is based in magic and high tech both. The High Tech basically reads & locates Matergy when she uses her power. It is provided by moonettes satillites in orbit as well as other ships that might be in the right area at the time. Her yacht is equiped with these sensors and can easily read the entire Gotham City metro area. Moonette carrys a unit that recieves information from any / all sensor units. If she doesn't use her power the Tech can't find her. However the magic is like a locate spell, Moonette can follow Matergys trail kinda like when the uss enterprise follows other peoples warp trail through space. The magic part is based on the fact that they are related so only family members magic can follow it for the most part. The exception to the related rule is " masters of magic " like Steven Strange.

Moonettes Ability to discern The Men in Black

Is based on the fact that Moonette has cast certain permenent spells on herself for her own protection. They are area affect spells that tell her when a possible danger is near to her and protect her from attack. So while the men in black could effectively keep an eye on her from a distance without setting it off. They would not be able to get within hand to hand / melee attack distance to her without it warning her.

So the familial magic tracking and tech sensors are for Matergy, but as for the general awareness, I take it that it works like a variant of Spiderman's 'Spider Sense'? Thank you for the clarification.

Just so you know .... Moonette has tracked Matergy to the train station using the high tech sensors. The fact that Matergy has already left the station to go to Arkham means that Moonette will now need to start using her magic to track Matergys trail unless Matergy uses her power again. This must be done soon after the fact or the trail could go cold. There are things that Matergy can do to mess it up if she knows shes being followed. These things don't apply at this point in time because Matergy is unaware she has been detected. Also I have not decided that I wish Moonette to catch up to Matergy this early in the thread. Moonettes tracking of Matergy is simply something for Moonette to do right now.

Yes they are similiar except that Spider Sense is biological in nature where
this is magic based.

Arthur I was wondering where Gotham Park is located. I looked at the map of Gotham City and didn't see it.

http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanthor/gothammap4.jpg

I see Robinson Park in the center of the island & Grant Park on the southeast side. Maybe we could use the open area just left of the number 1 as Gotham Park. This would place it in between Crime Alley & Old Gotham. What do you think?

'Tis called Robinson Park, and going by that map, #30. Has a giant lake in the center (actually a reservoir), and a botannical garden on the north side, in memory of the legacy of the Wayne family.

For environs purposes, think of it as something along the lines of Central Park, with plenty of places to duck into to hide very, very effectively.

So do we change the name in the post or just name the open area to the left of the 1 Gotham Park?

No, we're in Robinson Park, and that is the formal name, but everybody just calls it "the park," "Gotham Park," etc. But speeches, pieces of legislation, and flyers all still use 'Robinson.' For sake of IC converstion purposes, the two names are interchangeable.

I didn't know that .... thanks for telling me. Will you tell me where you entered the park? So I can be more detailed in my next post.

Entered at the gate east of the '30' marker on the map, then proceeded to walk along pedestrian paths not shown on the map. Currently located somewhere in that big expanse of park in a general area south of the major portion of the reservoir.

Ok Cool

5 or 6 days

I'll post today

Arthur I didn't say I was sending thugs into the park after you. I said Randy hired neighborhood folks to watch the park for people exiting. He did not send any thugs into the park after you.

Mm, sorry, that was kind of difficult to understand. If that's the case, then could you at least RP B/randy coming across Roger? Or do you want me to do that?

Also, how much time did B/randy spend hiring help to watch the area near the east side of the park?

Not long because I'm sure people are everywhere and they don't need any special abilities to watch the park. Also Brandy has entered the park to look for you. However your character doesn't know of his/her transformation ability so they shouldn't be able to realize she is randy. Finally I will run my character/s and I'm sorry I sometimes take too long but I have had some really crappy things to deal with in the RL this last week.

Yeah, I know, s/he has two appearances, and Raj only knows about one of them.

OK guys, I'm gonna be out of town for the next few days, so my posting will be interrupted. Thought you all should know.

Kor,
Sorry, RL got busy, will post this weekend. You want the next day of Origins or some days later? dunno if your group will try something else or 'exact revenge' on the... Beeatches who stopped them.

Friday the 26th / 9:15pm

Because I work at night I have been sleeping more then I usually do. So I will post tomorrow when I get home from work.

Sorry Breit ... I got side tracked, but I did post this morning. The plan is to start in New York then go to Metropolis later, I have made up three new york gang names. One is the gang that SheBat fought in Central Park, they are known as the Harlem Titans. I am working on some believeable gang member names. The Titans are a mixed race gang operating in and around Harlem. The second gang is the Blackstone Disciples, and the third is the Vice Kings. If you have any suggestions for details concerning these gangs please let me know. By the way one of the gang names I wanted to use for Gotham City Gangs is " The Molehill Mob ". This is a gang that was always fighting Batman, I was hoping Debaser could find and recruit them. There old membership would be to well known to use in this thread so we can just make up some new members. Also they were known to travel through the in the sewer systems to get from place to place unseen.

***************************************

JuNii I haven't forgotten you either I will post something about SheBat today or tomorrow. Were you planning to find another bomb at Origins as your last post suggest? SheBat is looking towards some type of airport thing soon, but her company guys would be available to help you if you needed them back at Origins. Let me know what you think.

Dunno. would the terrorists try again?

perhaps a "big gun" arriving at the airport and so a diversion?

I originally planned for some type of terrorist threat at the airport. So I think they will try one more time. Then we can move on to other things. Do you have any ideas on a " big gun character "?

hmm... was thinking more of a chemical/biological weapons 'expert' coming in but since I really don't know what you want your terrorists to do...

I want them to terrorize Columbus .... the question of what is the best way to do that is the problem.

I've finally made it back. Im lost now :(

a nerve agent/chemical attack via gas released over the city? or at the Con... as a test run?

Where were you and what was you doing just before you left? Then maybe we can all help you catch up.

I don't want to kill all of them, just scare them really bad. To give them a reason to want SheBat helping to protect the City.

Thats fine JuNii I just got back from vacation the 26th and have been working overtime to make up for it.

Breit I'll post this weekend concerning the first gang. I'm going to try to write a longer post this time so it will give you more to respond too.

sounds good kor

Breit I have posted number five

********************

JuNii I am working on a SheBat post

Hey Breit, I'm sure there is at least one female crime boss that Aenima could get involved with. I can make one up for him or you can if you wish. Also concerning Matergies taking on a lover from among the crime bosses. She didn't say that they would actually be lovers, she said she was controlling his mind to make him think they were. In this way she has a man on the inside that is motivated to share information with her. The same could be done with the female crime boss if Aenima don't mind using her like that. Finally I had not thought about the possiblity that Aenima might be jealous where Matergy is concerned. Not that I have a problem with Aenima being interested in Matergy, in fact his interest could be used to make the story line more interesting.

I gotcha, I'm just RPing thta way with Aenima since he doesn't know these things

Kor, something has been bugging me (mostly an endgame thing), but what exactly is the political situation in the home system of Moonette and Matergy, and what sector of Green Lantern Space is it in?

Kor, something has been bugging me (mostly an endgame thing), but what exactly is the political situation in the home system of Moonette and Matergy, and what sector of Green Lantern Space is it in?

Arthur the home system of Moonette & Matergy is the Nelchizedeke Cluster, ( Like my countries region ) their home planet is called Narth, which is located in a southeastern sector of the Andromeda Galaxy. I'm not sure if the Andromeda Galaxy is even in Green Lantern Space, I do know that there has never been a Green Lantern assigned to the Cluster. Things there might have gone smoother if there had been. The Cluster is located near to a number of other systems where hostile alien civilizations live. The Cluster's Star Empire Government is lead by a royal family and is known as the Triadian Federation. The King is an Immortal that is known as Lightwalker, he is assisted by his sister Falkyie in the running and protection of their Star Empire. There technology is far ahead of the Earth's. Moonette basically is an agent of Lightwalkers Star Empire, whereas Matergy is the undisputed crime boss on Narth and is allied with a number of the hostile alien civilizations. For centuries a war has raged between these factions. Now Matergy has come to Earth in the hopes of gaining more allies.

Note: I hope this post answers your questions, if not I would be glad to go into more detail.

@Kor:

Uh, the Andromeda galaxy is part of Sector 2814, which also includes the Milky Way galaxy. If war was that big of a problem, then the GL would have gotten involved, as the Green Lantern Corps is essentially an intergalactic space corps of peacekeepers that spans the whole Universe. I don't know how exactly this would fit in, but if you give me some time, I might be able to figure it out.

For a reference about the Green Lantern Corps, I direct you to the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lantern_Corps).

kor you can RP as a female crime boss. Aenima would only use her for the same reason matergy uses her "lover" for.

Uh ok, Sector 2814 ... interesting, I guess when I created the Nelchizedeke Cluster and the surrounding systems I didn't think to check out the Green Lanterns jurisdiction. ( Maybe we need to research who else may have gotten involved from the comic universes.) The war is mostly a defenseive one from the Triads point of view. Luckily they have been able to stay ahead of the enemy technologically. Lightwalker does lead a group of superhero's on Narth itself, and then there is the Planet Hero in one of the outer systems. I'm sure Lightwalker would welcome a Green Lantern to Narth. In case you wish RP Green Lantern and travel there I could TG you the details of the Royals location on Narth.

kor you can RP as a female crime boss. Aenima would only use her for the same reason matergy uses her "lover" for.

I'll make you a deal Breit, I will RP a female crime boss that Aenima can be involved with if you will RP Matergies male crime boss.

You didn't miss much I don't think JuNii. I went on vacation from Dec. 16th to
the 26th so I haven't posted much concerning SheBat because I have been trying to research the best way to RP an evil character. I think a final confrontation between the forces of good and evil is the best. Because I want to move on and I know you do too. Of course I want good to win in the end.

Hi All:

I find myself unexpectantly unemployed and looking for work as well as in the process of moving to a new residence. I am without internet access at home right now so I am using the libary computer to stay in touch. I'm sorry its been so long since my last time online. I'm mostly moved now, just apartment clean up and job searching now. I will try to post a couple times a week until I get internet service again.

Kor

take care Kor. Sorry to hear about your employment situation.

is the ultimate goal of this to form a new League? just wondering.
