You know when you've been playing a game for a long time that you have to change the character profile to suit the character...

 

I think that was the longest post I've ever written...

 

So Rapture wants to save the world. Thoughts?

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Sounds fishy.

[Varren Rehn]

Maybe so.

 

The fishy part is "How is she gonna exactly do it?"

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Who knows.

 

Oh yeah and I made Christine in HM! Link!

 

I think she turned out pretty good, if anyone wants to request me to take a crack at one of their char's in HM I'd love too while I still have the creative vibe.

[Kaitholas Cage]

Uh, Natalie or Jared would be incredibly nice Flex.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Mkay, I'll take a look at their descriptions. Want them in suits or normal clothes? More options with suits.

[Kaitholas Cage]

Suit for Jared I guess, though if you want to do one for Natalie you'll have to design it.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Care to give me the suits description?

 

Also I did Harbinger.

 

His glasses stare into your soul.

[Kaitholas Cage]

I just wrote it. I'll send it to you via Skype.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

What is this HM program? It seems like a good drawing program. Also, could you do Knower/Odysseus in HM as well?

[Varren Rehn]

If you want to take a crack at any of my characters, feel free to.

 

I also need to add you on skype o-o

[Sir Flex Nardius]

I finished Jared and PM'd him to Kaithas, waiting for his reply.

 

Gonna attempt Natalie then Knower.

 

Hero Machine isn't a drawing program persay, its like a designing program. Everything's drawn you choose stuff put it together color it, combine items and whatnot and can save your work for later. Its pretty cool but takes a little while to get used too

[Varren Rehn]

So uh, (trying to start a conversation)

 

I know M day and all the madness happened...

 

But what's the exact time that the RP's backstory starts? Is it before the civil war, or after?

[Constructman: Black Knight]

It says in the first post that Apocalypse, Decimation, and Ciil War have taken place. But it also says that the Phoenix Force killed everybody 17 years ago. What year does this Rpg take place in? If it takes place in 2012, we may have a continuity error.

[The Snark Knight]

Well, you see, this is a bit of an unworkable subject. Because this RPG does is fact take place more or less in 2012, and and the events that killed, well, everyone occurred seventeen years ago. But if we assume that those events did indeed occur, then there is a rather large issue.

Which is pretty much why these things are rarely, if ever, mentioned in detail in game. Marvel canon is simply too big and complex to make fit exactly.

[Varren Rehn]

I do like this statement.

 

Dates never really impacted the Marvel universe much anyway...

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Also remember that this is our own reality.

Marvel-(some random number) it is not the main one. So these events could have taken place before they did in the normal marvel universe, also they could of went down a bit differently.

[Basilisk]

I think the tactic of "ignoring the past until we can't avoid it" should serve us well. 

[The Snark Knight]

I think the tactic of "ignoring the past until we can't avoid it" should serve us well. 

You see Basilisk here?

Be like Basilisk.

...

minus the plans to take over the world. i have enough of those to deal with

[Varren Rehn]

I still prefer my evil plan to save the world.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to shut me down on that. It almost seems to unreal that I'm going through with a plot I came up with...

[Basilisk]

minus the plans to take over the world. i have enough of those to deal with

 

Shhhh! 

 

Jeeze man, the moon laser isn't even done yet. 

[Lord of Adders Black]

If you're going to start on continuity, you're going to have more to look at than just the RPG. There have been so many retcons and redos in the Marvel canon proper that trying to organise a date for anything is going to be impossible. 

If worst comes to worst, just have John sell his marriage to Mephisto or something. That tends to solve everyone's problems with no backlash whatsoever, right?

[EmperorWhenua]

EW's profile of honey and happiness:


Name: Armin Stohl, 13th Earl of Stonehill
Codename: [The] Brewmaster
Age: 40
Sex: Male
Faction: None.
Power(s): Armin has three powers:

• The ability to create a wormhole across the user’s known space, connecting one place to another via a tunnel that enables instantaneous travel. He can create the cosmic bridge and sustain it as long as he concentrates on it, and it will fade after enough mass goes through, roughly the mass of a car. Effectively, this is transportation, only requiring more action than mere thought as the user needs to enter the portal to have the desired effect.

• The ability to transmute liquids to toxic substances, basically turning it into poison. The effect is gradual; a bottle can be turned toxic in a blink of an eye while it would take a much longer time to make a vat go bad. He can affect the potency and severity of each poison when he transmutes it.

 

• He also cannot have his sex and/or gender altered in any way, shape or form.

Appearance: Tall and of regular build, Armin has a shaved head and thick eyebrows that hover above brown eyes. He has a prominent sharp nose and a bemused grin framed with a close-cropped goatee. Almost perpetually dressed in a wool three-piece matching suit of striped green, giving him a gentlemanly and cultured appearance overall.
Weapons: To defend himself without using his powers, Armin carries a Beretta Px4 Storm chambered for .45ACP with a 17-round magazine.
Skills: He’s a relatively solid shot with a gun and a competent kickboxer, but his true mastery lies in brewing beers and ales.
Personality: He is a clever man and is shrewd in business and jokes alike. Despite his caution to hide his true potential, he is not paranoid and is rather relaxed, though not arrogant.
Weakness: His wormholes draw a lot from his mental faculties and they can backfire if he is distracted from the portal. His mutant powers are a secret he keeps to himself and will only use them in battle as a last resort and will fight with his fists if he has a chance with it. Though he can defend himself, he is physically unaugemented and can be taken down with strength like any other man.
Bio: A moderately wealthy man from Austria, Armin Stohl is a beer connoisseur and brewery owner. He makes some of the most exquisite ales on the market and truly loves his work. Most of his wealth comes from inheritance since he is the head of a noble house in Northern England. His seat is Thornhill Castle, though he rarely ever visits the place except for vacations and the one week a year he must accomplish his noble duty there. According to records, his family was given the estate after the previous family was murdered mysteriously. It was given as a black gift hundreds of years ago but the family turned it into a good blessing. Still, the house has its secrets.

 

But despite his good life and background, he lives a second shadow life.

When he was young, he discovered his talents and quickly realized he was special. He used his powers for benign uses at first, such as procrastinating a little more since he could just warp to school in a second, or quietly putting animals out of their misery in compassion, but still kept them to himself. As he grew older he realized there were others like him with powers of their own, but he didn’t feel like he belonged in the company of such mutants. Over the years of practice with his powers he become quite powerful and seeks to extinguish or nullify the other mutants, ostensibly to be “special.” But there is a mysterious twinkle in his eyes, too, and time will tell what it betrays.

[Varren Rehn]

Adders is right.

 

Dealing with Mephisto always works out well.

 

We should(n't) retcon the entire RP at the end, so that way, we would(n't) have a plausible reason to re-do everything differently.

[Basilisk]

Dealing with Mephisto always works out well.

 

When has making deals with demons and Outer Gods failed? Never!

 

It's worked out for me so far. Nothing bad has happHAILCTHULHUPOWERTOTHEOUTERDARKMAYTHEWORLDFALL ened so far. I'm fine. 

[Kaitholas Cage]

So, Flex made Natalie. Looks pretty epic: http://i700.photobuc...zps90d75aba.jpg

And because I was bored I made one a while back using the gimp: http://i1294.photobu...zpsb8b966f8.png

Note: I had this picture for months, so I can't remember who it actually is.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Also I re-did John's face. Drew it myself. Only because HM does horrible men faces.

 

Before:

 

After:

 

Also re-did the masked version:

 

New.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

I'm thinking about drawing some of the X-Men characters.

Anyone want me to do any of their's?

[thelonewander]

If anyone can do Scott, that would epicsauce.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

Hey, you know how we have the X-Men and the Neo-Avengers in this game?

Do you you think that we could use a new Fantastic Four as well?

[Dallas Winston]

please please please nooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

-Tyler

[Lord of Adders Black]

Wouldn't any new Fantastic Four logically have to include Franklin and Valeria Richards? Both of whom are pretty much god-tier superpowers now, when they're not even in teenage years (I think...), let alone when they're adults. I can't see them being approved

[Constructman: Black Knight]

@TPTI: it doesn't have to be connected to the original four; it could be a completely unrelated roster, they just have to share the same idea of the FF.

And wouldn't the Richards children have either been killed or seriously depowered from the Phoenix's attack? It's hard to hide if you're an omega-level mutant.

[Lord of Adders Black]

Given that they can both warp reality and time wit but a thought I'd say it would actually be easier for them to hide. Just pop into a different century for a bit until the Phoenix has calmed down

[.:Advent Aeternale:.]

To reiterate something I said earlier, I'm not particularly feeling the idea of fleshing out this universe with more and more rehashes and next generation variants of current Marvel superheroes. It sounds restrictive and lazy as far as creation and development.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

Yeah very true. New original teams are free to form. I don't think we need to revamp any more canon ones.

[ZHX]

Say, anyone in New York City able to interact with Mikhail?

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

So much this. Constructman, you've got a creative brain in there somewhere; use it, and make us feel bad for ever doubting you.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

@Hubert: who? I have ancharactwr in NYc available right now but who's Mikhail?

[ZHX]

He's an electric SHIELD member who was taking a break from his job when the Helicarrier got whoomed.
