A random idea

[Rathulfr]

Great idea, @Mike Morbid!  I'm interested, but with one caveat: don't let me pick/roll, because I don't trust myself to not cheat and just roll something I'm already comfortable with.  I'd prefer that someone else roll/pick for me at random, just so that I have absolutely no control over the process -- just as would've happened had I been sitting in that shop at that moment.

 

Also: I'm partial to Blasters and Sentinels, so don't give me a Blaster or Sentinel!  😁

I think that would depend on the effects of the energy beam.  It might be appropriate for some, but not all.  I, for one, despise the costume randomizer since they added tails and animal parts.  Besides, if we've "chosen" to band together as super-heroes/villains as a consequence of being hit by the ray, then I don't see why we wouldn't also choose our own costumes.  I'll probably make mine as ridiculous as possible, of course.

More questions:

 

• Will we be forming a separate SG for this?  If so, who will do so?  If there are no volunteers, I will volunteer.
• When will we play together, if at all?  I'm available US Central time, usually evenings and weekends.
• Can we use one of the many HC Discord voice channels for audio chat?  I really enjoy using the HC voice channels, even when I'm not teamed with the folks there.  It's nice just to have chatter in the background when I'm playing.
• Shall we all put elements of the OP's story in our bios?  I think it would be fun to do that.

I hear you, I used to use the randomizer from time to time to get a starting base, but since they added animal parts it seems to heavily favor them, which I do not.

If everybody is up for that idea, sure!

I'm all for a supergroup, and being as I just started playing perhaps a week ago, I'm also all for someone more experienced than I putting it together and being in charge.

At the moment, I'm fairly much available all the time. I have no idea when my work will be starting up again.

I've never used Discord, but I'm willing to give it a try. My warning, though, my voice is roughly similar to Kermit if he's been sick for a while.

If you want to use the story, by all means feel free.

I have a character waiting in Atlas Park for if/when we do this. Don't worry, I haven't done anything with him yet, other than ooh and aah at the statue.

 

Chilled Fury

-Melee damage (brute)

-Savage melee (savage strike)

-Ice armour (frozen armour)

you got a savage/ice brute on a random roll? thats kinda lucky, I've very much enjoyed both of those sets, they are a bit more of medium experience sets but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it they dont really have that much of a learning curve.

[Mike Morbid]

If it is too powerful, I don't mind rolling again, and using that character for other things.

[Rathulfr]

Using the D100 scales posted earlier, I rolled a Dark Armor/Fiery Melee Tanker, and named him "Flameshadow".  

 

I then created a new SG named "Frozen Felonies Fellowship": base passcode is FROZEN-14581.  I'll set up portals in it for ease of transport, but I won't commit to any design beyond that, so that anyone else who wants to do in earnest can have fun with that.

 

Character Description:

 

I was enjoying a hot fudge sundae in the Frozen Felonies ice-cream shop in Atlas Park when a beam of energy crashed in through the roof.  It bathed everyone in an eerie glow that grew brighter and brighter.  My ears rang until I thought my head would explode, and then I passed out.  

 

When I awoke, I found myself imbued with strange new powers.  I could surround myself with dark energies, and manipulate fire in my hands with the merest thought. Others in the shop were changed as well.  We all decided to band together to combine our powers as a force for change in the world.  We became the "Frozen Felonies Fellowship"!

To make sure I didn't unbalance things, I rolled up a different character. I got a defender with kinetics (siphon power) and sonic attack (shriek). After struggling with a name for a while, I came up with Rocker Wraith.

 

Thanks for setting things up, Rathulfr. Now we all just have to plan a time to get together.

You're welcome, glad to do it.  Please be sure to /gfriend @Rathstar so that we can communicate when we're on at the same time.  I'm usually on evenings and weekends, US Central time.

While I'm not joining this, I thought I'd roll a character for fun and report my results!

49.25 - Archetype: Brute

Ugh, Brutes. My least favorite AT, but that's manageable, just so long as I don't roll--

74.37 - Primary: Spines

... no ...

36.81 - Secondary: Fiery Aura

NOOOOOO!!!

8,  98,  22

0.00 to 9.08 = Stalker (no way.. favorite/best AT, will try again)
94.12 to 100 = Staff Fighting
15.38 to 23.07 = Electric Armour

 

2,  77,  17

0.00 to 9.08 = Stalker (what the?!!..)

76.47 to 82.34 = Savage Melee
15.38 to 23.07 = Electric Armour

 

oops should have read to the end.

 

With Epics

8,  98,  22

6.67 to 13.32 = Controller (there, this is something I have no idea how to play..)

88.89 to 100 = Plant Control

18.75 to 24.99 = Empathy

 

really should have read to the very end... I have to join another SG?

[Coyotedancer]

I'm not likely to join you... 'Just not my kind of theme, I'm afraid... But purely for fun I DID use the random dice-roller to see what I'd end up with if I did. XD

 

81 - Corruptor

1 - Archery

83 - Time

 

That actually wouldn't be a terrible character, I suspect.

'Not a combination I've ever had, but not a bad mix at first glance. 

[ArchVileTerror]

Isn't "Time's Arrow" a novel or something?   It sounds really familiar . . . 

[Coyotedancer]

Time flies like an arrow...

 

… Fruit flies like a banana.

 

(And yes. There's at least one song by that name. XD)

[Wicko]

OK, I found this interesting.  I rolled for a Water Blast/Atomic Manipulation Blaster.

 

So I got Atomic Milk.  I recolored the Water Blast to white for milk.  He was eating mint ice cream when he got hit and now projects milks and can manipulate atomic radiation.  I call him Atomic Milk.

That's the proper name of the ITF.

@Mike Morbid, I was on a couple of times this weekend looking for you, but I couldn't track you down.  I'd like to add you to the SG and give you leadership privileges.  We also need to nail down a time to meet our new toons and play together.

 

Everyone else in this thread that wants to can /gfriend me, as well.  My global is in my signature, below.

 

[Mike Morbid]

If you usually play on the weekends, I can log onto my random character then. I know you tend toward evenings, so perhaps I can meet you at 7 pm Central on whichever day(s) you prefer?

I'll try to be on at 7 PM Central tonight, work permitting.

It was also a 2 part Star Trek TNG episode with Guinan heavily featured.

[Lavitz]

I am interested in this one. I would play this. 

 

I rolled a Demon/Storm Summoning Mastermind.

Not a character I would EVER think to put together, but I welcome opinions and would like to meet up with my other weirdos.

I will roll a back up now.
