Eleven

Wednesday morning. Steel Canyon campus of Paragon University.

In the area of the campus where The Dunelm Group have been granted freedom to operate, there is a small basement room that is dimly lit compared to the rest of the building. No one except member of the group come down to this room. For this room is Eleven’s Dojo. There is no place seemingly for him to rest. The room only contains equipment for his practice, with the walls covered in the variety of “trophies” he has collected over the years.

Not many have the bravery to interrupt Eleven while he takes sanctuary in his dojo. Leon Tasker though has enough trust and respect from Eleven to the point that Leon can barge into the dojo unannounced and Eleven will immediately stop what he is doing and wait to see what Leon has to say.

Leon Tasker “I have just come from the meeting with Dr Roberts and the rest of the team. I thought you would like to know that Dr Roberts has finally managed to all but officially announce coalition partnerships with The Unity Vigil and The Rising Stars.”

Eleven never flinched as Leon spoke. He stood with usual scowling look and replied,

Eleven: “What do you think then?”

Leon Tasker: “What do I think? My stance has not changed from a couple of weeks ago. I would rather we not bother with any other organisation given the attitude of most of them. But we still have a duty to protect this city and if having to work with people outside our team to ensure that happens then so be it. But rest assured that while Brian might happily accept invites from any celebrity in spandex, I’ll make sure we only work with others based on our terms!”

Eleven turns away from Leon and grabs a Bo staff to perform a mild kata.

Eleven: “The Vigil though…….could have be a hell of lot worse.”

Leon Tasker: “Oh, don’t get me wrong. If there was a group I’d be more accommodating with it would be The Vigil. Most of their team have their heads screwed right and they have been doing work with a high level of professionalism for years.”

Eleven suddenly strikes a target manikin with his Bo Staff with ferocity as he thinks of members of The Vigil that recently angered him with what he believed was reckless behaviour.

Eleven: “Yeah….’most’ do!”

Leon Tasker: “Yes I agree. There are still some elements of the group that are more likely to cause trouble than solve it. But as I said, I will make sure we will work on our terms. Which is more than be said about the “Super Powered Big Brother” we now have as allies!”

Eleven tightens his grip of the staff slightly growling in displeasure.
Leon Tasker: “That’s only really come about because Dominic and those he teamed with managed to complete their missions. But it wasn’t half sloppy in my view despite what Dominic has said. It was alright him saying that it did not matter that Sam Huntington got knocked around a bit, because it was Sam Huntington and if her powers did not help her recover, her brother Richard would soon help her out. That line of thinking will only eventually lead to you having to deal with burying the box your colleague or loved one is in.”

Eleven: “Well if Brian is not going to relent on working with them……let Adam and Dominic be the poster boys!.......I’ll only end up using their cameras to take down whatever it is we get asked to take down!”

Leon smirks “That’s not hard to imagine.” Leon turns to leave the room. “Brian will more than likely continue to try and create more official ties. He will eventually invite reps from other teams to visit here to introduce us all. I won’t bother asking you to get involved with any tour of the team.”

Eleven: “What’s happening with this scumbag that faked his licence and tried to make a meta pancake with the Rikti Heavy in Kings the other week?”

Leon looks around to Eleven again. “Despite us now having official allies that situation s unchanged. Other than Detective Freitag…..we’re on our own with this issue.”

Eleven turns to look at another target manikin at the opposite side of the room.

Leon Tasker: “Oh, and remember to keep your comms open. We are still expecting Red Commissar, Volt or Sean to contact us when things start to go down for them.”

Eleven: “No problem there marra….” Eleven suddenly rages out and fires off a powerful fireball at the manikin he was looking at. The manikin explodes instantly on impact.

Eleven: “That’s some unfinished business I’m looking forward to help out finishing!”

((Still happy to organise meets with Dr Roberts to create coalitions with other SG’s IC. Let me know in game on GGOOC or a tell to @Eleven to arrange something.

At some point soon I will want to organise with representative of SG’s allied with to have an open RP session on this post or perhaps a specific post on it’s own for Dr Roberts to give a tour of The Dunelm Group’s temporary base in Steel Canyon and formal introduce the whole team.))

Yes please!

This is probably where you are going to get more RP out of me than anything else that goes on. Its not that I have a dislike for GG/PD meets and want away from them, far from it, they serve an important need for the scene.

But I am of the firm believer of that line in Matrix Reloaded of never truly knowing someone until you fight them, or in this case with them.

I would have signed up for the RWZ meet the other day but I was helping out other GG'ers in Croatoa arcs at the time. That was OOC but was still a cracking team and I enjoyed it.

I did do some RP missions with Do Lo Might on the weekend though IC with DPS Girl, Josh Stormcrow, Sam Hunnington and Fanservice Girl and that was great. It was because of those IC missions that I strongly believe it led to me interacting with other characters in GG that night more than I have ever done.

So I'm all for it happening more often and will sign up in the future. Forum would be natural place to set them up, although for me personally, it is getting to the point where I am more likely to be contactable in game than here. If I am not logged in the game then I am usually busy with something else and can't guarantee that I can check the forums as much as I would like.

Did a respec last night and I have followed closely your build with a few differences, mostly because I already took Mu Mastery back at 40.

Went through Gaussian's Story arc and I must say already before any IO's were put in the survivability is much better and I seem to be more effencient at taking down mobs. Still had a couple of faceplants but they were simply Power Surge crashes leading to rubberband deaths most of the time.

I did manage to fully IO out Knockout Blow but I have not had a chance to muck on with the toon more until later tonight. Running around wth the SG and I should be able to fully IO out another power if not two.

So cheers very muchly for the help there!

Can I just point out that Friday is actually the 29th, not the 30th. That will obviously be on Saturday.

So best you confirm which day it is.

Only reason I know this is because the 29th is my cake day.

And because its my cake day I won't be able to make anything in game on Friday or Saturday.

One more thing......this is essentially Pro Wrestling within CoX right?

Like I said the other day on GGOOC...."I can't get away from the ruddy thing!"

I've done some tinkering around based on the advice so far and come up with this build.

Looking at the totals its obvious that the new build has better resistance and defense. I have left hasten and put in lightning reflexes to help with recharge still. Looks like that you were right in saying that I should still have attacks available to me. I have still managed to slot some good damage to my attacks so foes should be down before I worry too much about powers not recharged.

The only concern I have is with my endurance use. I have dropped Conserve energy in order to fit many of the new powers in but I am using more endurance per second than previously.

I'm hoping that 30sec recharge on power sink still means that it actually is not much of a problem. Although I have put 2 endurance modifications in Lighting field instead of an accuracy and damage. I can't tell from the planner, but will that go to help recovering some endurance lost?

I got my Brute to Lv 50 some time ago now and I thought my PvE build was generally good enough for what I wanted it to do in battle.

Having been on a few high end TF's recently though it seems it does not survive as well as it probably should be capable of.

Having read most of the posts here it seem that Tough and Aid Self are popular with most Brute builds and I can see why. Looking back at my original build though I am not entirely sure which powers can be dropped for others as I have had many people in game tell me different views.

At least on the forum I can digest suggestions better and see actual numbers with Mid Planner builds.

Here is the current build of my Brute:

A few notes.

This is a PvE toon and I am aiming for it to be as tank-ish as possible.

I am an RP'er so most of my builds are based on RP concepts. However while I do try to build my toons based on a particular concept, I still try and maintain a balance of keeping to a concept while not making the toon unplayable in actual combat. For this particular toon the powers I have chosen are part of the concept, but there is nothing that I would say I can't drop. For this toon, being a SS/Elec brute is enough to cover the concept.

As you can see there is not anything other than simple IO enhancements in the build. I do plan to fill the toon out with IO's but I am not too worried about making a plan for them at the moment.

If you do fancy posting an IO build, then by all means but keep in mind I have planned to put certain levels of IO's into my toons based on their positioning in my Tier List of toons. You can see my Tier List by following the link in my sig to my Union Handbook page with a list of my toons.

Cheers.

How do I get the various badges and things in a PvP zone if I'm primarily a PvE person and want, say, an accolade power?

[/ QUOTE ]

You go in and you do it. Like I did.

What you don't do is complain you were attacked while PvEing in a PvP zone. It's one of the hazards of PvP Zones, one that they remind you of every time you enter one of the creepy places.

Should badge gathering content have been put into PvP zones, knowing that many 'badgers' don't like it? Yes, because it's unfair to deny the PvPers stuff just because someone who religiously collects badges won't like it.

I don't really like PvP either, but I have all the PvP Zone exploration badges and a few of the other ones. As far as I recall, I was never attacked while hunting them, by the way.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would it be denying PVPers if the accolades were gained from pure PVE?

[/ QUOTE ]

Let me rephrase then. Why should you deny PvPers from having content such as Badges simply because a minority group collect all Badges and don't like PvP?

Which Accolade are we talking about here, btw?

[/ QUOTE ]

Villain accolade Born in Battle which give 5% endurance boost requires the badge you get for spending a total of 5 hours in Sirens Call. Can't quite get the name of the badge where I am posting from as wiki page is blocked.

There are also a few explorer badges that cover that and another accolade badge.

I know most of this off the top of my head as I am trying to get all the accolades for my Lv 50 Brute that increases health and endurance.

Personally the badges from the PVP zones don't bother me really. The expolorer badges were a case of in and out quickly before being roped into a fight. The 5 hours in Sirens will be awkward but do-able for me.

Its the 10 million damage badge that has me freaked out at achieving!

((Ok, so I don't have any heroes that can join your SG Point, but I am still trying to get SG Coalitions sorted out for my SG and also keen to do more IC mission based situations. So consider this a start of Dr Roberts making enquires.))

The Dunelm Group continued their daily routines as they normally would do. With the Rikti retreating back for now it meant that the team wee not always on alert for calls from Vangaurd or keep a close watch on the skies.

However the working atmosphere within the group has become frosty at best. Ever since the events of last week, meetings have been very sterile and almost without emotion as business is being discussed.

It has distressed Dr Roberts that the team has become this way which was not part of his original vision. The only reason why the team has not fully disbanded is because of the common sense of duty to protect the world.

Dr Roberts read through his morning paper as he would do usually but it has now become another way of him to concentrate on other events in order so that he does not dwell too much on his recent problems.

As he reads the paper he comes across and advert for R.A.P.I.E.R. Curious at the advert Dr Roberts studies it further before grabbing a nearby pair of scissors to cut out the advert. He takes the cut out to his wall of notes and pins it in the middle of the board.

Adam Dennison enters the office and moves towards Dr Roberts to see what he is up to.

Adam Dennison: "What are you upto here then my brother?........Ya haven't quite got the concept of pin the tail on the donkey have you!"

Dr Roberts: "This, my strange man, is another peice of contact information that might just help me towards my recent attempts to create official ties with other organisations in the city."

Adam Dennison: "Are sure that is still possible my good brother. Considering the rest of the team ave become rather edgy lately with everyone outside the group.......sharper than an obsenly un-needed 16 bladed razor!"

Dr Roberts: "I somehow doubt that Leon, even with his current way of thinking will dislike the offer of working with a team with a similar military background to himself. In fact its probably the very people he wanted me to look for, just explaining it in the worst possible way."

Turns to Adam as he continues, "I still believe what this team needs is to network with other groups for the benefit of the city and the world. I am hoping that the outburst last week is just down to stress from being stretched as we have been with Rikti attack again on top of all the other problems we deal with.

Adam nods unstanding what Dr Roberts is suggesting.

Dr Roberts: "I would not say anything to the rest of the team if you would be so kind Adam. I would much rarther work on this alone for now and make it aware to the group should I get close to deal."

Adam Dennison: "Of course my brother.......Just call Zippidy McZip Zip!......In fact...no thats terrible, don't ever cal me that!"

Dr Roberts smiles at the remark as he returns to his desk to carry on making notes for upcoming lectures.

I'm with FFM for this saying that whoever did this were in no way representing the RP scene and those who are a part of it as a whole.

If I was there when it happened I would have wanted to knock their teeth out.

And I am not meaning IC!

Although wanting to and being able to are entirely different. But I would have most certianly looked to getting it reported along with your own report.

((Sorry, this ended up taking me longer to write than I thought!))

Tuesday late evening. Kings Row Hospital.

The Dunelm Group quickly meet up at Kings Row hospital as news filters through that Eleven was knocked out during the closing moments of a Rikti attack in that area of Paragon City. Dr Roberts, Adam Dennison and Do Lo Might scurry with concern, looking for the room Eleven has been put into. Shortly after the team make it to the window of the room Eleven is emitted to, Leon Tasker arrives from Galaxy City, storming through the hospital with great displeasure.

Leon gets to the room and bursts in to the shock of the rest of the team and the medical staff trying to attend to Eleven.

Medic: “I’m sorry sir, your going to have to step outside so you can allow us to continue to treat your colleague.”

Leon Tasker: “Oh yes? And what are you doing exactly?”

Medic: “We are doing everything we can to get your colleague to regain consciousness. But so far everything we have tried is not working. We can’t inject anything as our needles are snapping when we try incision. We are going over his body to see what is broken that might be causing him pain but we can’t find anything that is broken ether”

Leon Tasker was sarcasm: “Have you tried his wallet?”

Medic looking confused: “What?”

Leon moves the medic out of his way and rushes to Eleven’s jacket pocket that contains his wallet. The wallet does not contain anything other than a few Dunelm Group contact cards and his Paragon City Hero License. Unfolding it out he begin to read what the license says. The medic aimlessly starts to look around the room in embarrassment now realising that his patient is in fact a Meta Human.

Leon Tasker: “Here we are then, medical notes in case of being emitted to hospital….Patient has indestructible skin meaning injections are not applicable in treatment. Patient is found to be immortal so life threatening injury is extremely unlikely. In the event of patient being emitted to hospital, simply contact Brigadier Leon Tasker, that’s me by the way, and allow his staff to treat the patient.”

Leon folds the license back up and walks right into the face of the medic. The medic starts to worry what Leon might do to him.

Leon Tasker: “So I suggest you and your team stop wasting your time here and go to any of the other rooms here that have civilians that have some real injuries from the attack that just happened around here that need serious attention!”

The medical team look at each other while stood hesitating. Leon looks at them all with shock at them not moving and screams, “MOVE!”. The medical team rush out of the room. Leon walks over to the door and slams it shut in anger. Do Lo Might cowers in a corner looking somewhat frightened, as if he does not want to be in the room. Adam looks on sombre and decides to keep quiet so that he does not risk making the situation worse. Dr Roberts flairs up slightly as he addresses Leon.

Dr Roberts speaking loudly: Brigadier Tasker! You will calm yourself sir! These people were only trying to help.

Leon snaps back: “Oh come off it Brian! You and I both know what will happen here. Eleven will wake up not a scratch on his body, feeling the pain of the ordeal but ignoring it as he will be madder than hell! These kids working here did not think to see if was a meta human or not, probably because they thought, oh he's not wearing a costume!”

Dr Roberts: “Look, I can see why your upset with Eleven for going on another rage fit. It could not happen at a worse time..”

Leon interrupts him: “Yeah I was angry at Eleven to start off with. But not now! No, now I am angry with them!” points metaphorically to the outside world. “Them lot out there! Some of these “Heroes of Paragon”! Tonight I got to see just how much distain and resentment a team like ours gets!”

Dr Roberts: “What are you getting at Leon?”

Leon Tasker: “I know its too much for all of us sometimes to have to live around Eleven’s anger and psychological problems. I know we all wish he would let go of all that pain so we don’t have to worry about him so much. And I know we all hope that he would become less of an unsociable git and make doing our job with everyone else much more simple.”

Leon goes to sit next to Eleven’s bed as he looks onto his unconscious colleague before looking back at the rest of the team, carrying on his speech, speaking much calmer than before.

Leon Tasker: “But we somehow still accept who he is because deep down we know that what he does everyday is his way of dealing with his problems. As twisted and insane as it clearly is, he directs all of his rage towards protecting the world around him. He doesn’t give up and he does not switch off. As tragic as that is, it still gave people inspiration and hope. When the people of Durham cried out for help, feeling ignored when everywhere else was being rescued from the dangers of earth, Eleven went back to his home city and gave his all to save them.

That inspired this team to come together orinally. Sure we allow ourselves much need rest and relaxation so we can have lives of our own and for some reason, he never wants to take it but we all ended up taking a part of his ideals. We get the job done not for the attention, the glamour or for our own egos but because we have the ability to do serve a good cause and we know it’s the right thing to do.”

Adam Dennison: “So what the hell has happened here then?”

Leon Tasker: “Well, seem like our vision of protecting the innocent makes us a bunch of freaks with “The Hero Community” here in Paragon.”

Dr Roberts: “Oh surely not Leon?”

Leon Tasker: “No? Well let me tell you the reaction from the rest of the heroes over in Galaxy this evening to what’s in this room right now!”

“Bit of an idiot isn’t he? Charging in ahead of everyone else when they could have dealt with it pretty easy! Oh I know heroes the size of 8 year olds that can tear them heavies like Tin Foil, so your “pet” that you hold on a pedestal isn’t that flash for what he did!”

Leon shakes his head as he grows fuming with anger again.

Leon Tasker: “This coming from people who seem to see Rikti bomb strikes as games to have fun with! Who shockingly are allowed to act as a mercenaries in this city, there is some that now see us as threats and therefore potential profit from their legalised thuggery. This coming from “heroes” who worryingly have a cold hearted view of death. Who take a look at Ashley, bless her soul, rightly distraught over what's happened to her boyfriend and your say “Oh that's a shame” and then turn to their girlfriends with a smile on their face and say “Never mind, come here sweetheart, let me touch your boobs!”

Dr Roberts: “Wait, which Ashley are you talking about?”

Leon Tasker: “The one commonly known as Catz. Police informed her tonight that her boyfriend was missing and presumed dead. That's what's set Eleven off. He saw Catz reaction when she was told the news and of course it reminded him more of what happened to his family, so as usual exploded in a fit of rage. Now did he overreact? It would be hard of me to disagree with you. Esspeically since missing presumed dead mean he might actually sill be alive and well. But you and I know Eleven's intentions are sound. It seems though that the rest of the community would rather outcast us then accept our help, and the only reason that I can see being that we take a professional mindset into our work, while the rest see it as a fun hobby.”

Do Lo Might speaking nervously: “It sounds like you want us to allow ourselves to be alienated just when I thought we were supposed be looking at working with everyone else more closely”

Leon Tasker: “That might have been a valid point Dominic except if I ask you the question, what other friends have you made outside of this group since you've come to the city?”

Do Lo lowers head slightly in shame realising that his answer would be no one.

Leon Tasker: “And what about you Adam? Can you answer that question?”

Adam Dennison stammers before he makes an attempt to answer: “Well….there is Brit….”

Eleven interrupts him: “An ally still alive Adam!”

The group look to Eleven, surprised to see him regaining consciousness. Eleven growls in pain as he tries to spring out of his bed only to collapse on the floor and unable to stand due to the pain that he is feeling. Leon and Adam come over to try and help him up but Eleven barks at them “DON’T…..TOUCH ME!”. Eleven slowly manages to pick himself up onto his feet but is forced to lean on the wall behind him in order to stay upright, showing great discomfort, looking like he can barely move because of the pain he is in.

At this point Detective Freitag enters the room.

Detective Freitag: “Looks like I arrived at the right time”

Leon Tasker: “Evening detective”

Detective Freitag nods: “Brigadier Tasker. How’s your man holding up here?”

Leon Tasker looks at Eleven then back Freitag: “He's fine as he can be. Now can you tell me what exactly when on there?”

Detective Freitag: “Well obviously we had a bunch of heroes in King's Row to assist with the Rikti attacking the area again. At the end of the attack one of the Rikti Heavies was heading for a crash landing would have certainly wiped out many heroes or present as well as some of my officers. As probably know now, Eleven here took it upon himself to dive at the falling Heavy and divert its course so that the only thing it landed on was himself an empty road”

Leon Tasker: “As crazy as this sounds, this would a typical incident for a meta-human in this city. So I have to ask why you feel the need to create a follow-up investigation?”

Detective Freitag: “Well I need to ask confirmation from Eleven, about reports coming from the incident that suggests that the Rikti Heavy was already retreating along with the rest of the forces and that one of the heroes present decided to shoot at it causing it to head for a crash landing.”

Everyone looked to Eleven for his reply. Eleven answers still barely able to keep himself standing: “That's exactly what happened!....... some goon thought they would be clever and fired at the Heavy when it was fleeing anyway……. I did not get to see who fired off the shot……. I was too busy getting myself into a position to stop it crushing anyone below.”

Detective Freitag: “Okay. So the only question I have now is if the case is went before a judge or an City Council review, you would be willing to speak about this incident.”

Eleven, trying his best to stand upright: “If it's going to stop amateurs from causing unnecessary damage and pain to everyone…..then it is fair game marra!”

Detective Freitag: “Thank you gentlemen, this is all I need for now. We'll be in touch later.”

As the detective leaves the room, Leon turns away shaking his head in disbelief. Eleven collapses onto its backside, unable to continue his effort to stand up.

Leon Tasker looks to Dr Roberts with great menace: “That's settles it then!”

Dr Roberts slightly panicking: “Now now Leon, let's not make any rash decisions”

Leon Tasker: “If you're thinking that I'm am suggest we quit right now and head back home and I can assure you that is not what I'm going to suggest. I'm sure we speak for all of us when I say that we still have a great sense of duty and we will not abandon the city when it is so desperate for help. As far as your plan to create coalitions with other organisations in the city, given the current circumstances I suggest we concentrate our efforts on other more important matters.”

Dr Roberts pleading: “Leon, please no!”

Leon Tasker: “They don't want to know us Brian. We can't force ourselves onto them and if they are so sure with their egos and carefree attitude that they don't want our help in protecting the city, then let's not waste our time and just let them get on with it. Quite frankly if they insist that is the normal attitude for someone to protect and serve, then I don't want to thing with them because I can do without any more deaths of innocent civilians and fellow squad members on my conscience due to their lack of professionalism and humility. And again I'm sure the rest of the team feel the same way.

Dr Roberts looks over to Adam and Adam shrugs his shoulders, with the look on his face to suggest that Leon has a point. Dr Roberts unlocks all the to Do Lo Might, again lowering its head in shame looking like he's ready to burst into tears but nodding in agreement to what Leon said. Dr Roberts’ face drops and his eyes begin to well up as if he's about to cry. He tries not to turn round to look at Eleven but does so anyway, to see what his answer is that already knowing what Eleven’s feelings are.

Eleven stares at Dr Roberts with his usual scowling look, full of rage: “This is consequence Doctor. The have chosen to bring this on themselves…. Those idiots out there still don't realise why did I am not like them……They are always so keen to change me but I do what I do so that none of them turn into someone like me……I find the way I fight because they all have something to lose…… and I don’t…….. they need to stay the way they are because they are the role models……… the pinups……. the celebrities……… the icons to give the people of the city and the rest of the world enough hope to walk through the [censored] that they're forced to walk to by the scumbags that want to destroy everything.

But if they gonna concentrate their efforts to shut me out of what I do so that I can't help them…… then they are in danger of one day ruddy well convincing me not to bother!……And when their existence goes all to hell……. and everything that they love and hold dear to is destroyed right in front of them by their enemies …….. when they come begging at my feet, pleading for my help…….I’ll look them square in the eyes and say…… Screw you junior!.....This is your consequence to bare!”


Dr Roberts closes eyes and forces himself not to start crying. Leon simply takes one last look at everyone and says “Then it's agreed, this meeting is over!” before marching out of the room telling Eleven to rest up for the night before returning to base. Do Lo Might quickly follows, he can't leave the hospital quick enough without running. Adam looks at Dr Roberts upset at what has just transpired and Dr Roberts stares back with tears starting to stream down his face.

Adam Dennison: “I am so sorry my brother.”

Adam calmly leaves room but its fear still shows disappointment at what he had just witnessed. It leaves Dr Roberts with his head down wiping his tears away as he slowly leaves the room and closes the door behind him.

Eleven with fierce determination attempts to stand up again. His body however is still in massive pain after being crushed by the Rikti Heavy. Still unable to stand up, Eleven false hard on to his knees. He starts to growl as his rage increases due to his frustration before letting out an extremely loud war cry of anger enough for the rest of the hospital to hear.

((A few notes. Dr Roberts will still be at GG a some point looking to create coalitions with other SG’s or potentially invite new member to the team. However the rest of the team will act rather untrusting with new members or coalitions, in particular Leon and Eleven unless the new contacts show the same level of professionalism as they now highly aspire to.

Don’t expect this sudden unsocial nature of the team to last though. They might just return apologetic and forgiving at some point as there is a possible suggestion that this is all being orchestrated by someone looking to cause this type of bother! ))

Quick piece of advice with base salvage. If you plan to offer what you pick up to the SG rather than making your own stuff, ask your superiors where to put the salvage.

Different SG's have their own plans as to where specific salvage is kept in the base and what it is used for.

((Thought I would set up a post for IC updates and OOC questions for The Dunelm Group for the main reason that I don’t have my own site with forum to cover updates on plots I create or get involved with.

I also do aim to make a start adding more heroes into the team but from other players rather than my own. I think I am stretching the limits of my altism now! I have been seeing a lot of North East of England based characters showing up so it would make sense for The Dunelm Group to invite them to join with people from the same region. With that in mind, I thought having an official post for the group would be needed

This also ties with Dr Roberts currently looking to create official coalitions with other groups. One of the reasons is that anyone that joins my SG but needs access to a fully functioning base for something, does have some level of access to do so until it comes to a point where The Dunelm Group finally have a base of their own. I’m sure many will say that a base does not make an SG and I would agree but from experience, I have seen people leave SG’s over the fact that the SG does not have a working base of some description.

It would also make communicating with me much easier as I admit I tend to keep myself in a corner away from everything by not being on any of the RP community channels, or having many of you on my global list. By the way, someone remind me in game to sort myself out with that! I finally snuck on the GGOOC channel last night but if you feel I should be signed up for something else that is regularly used, let me know.

Of course this would also be a good place though to hold IC conversations with anyone from SG outside of the game. Especially with my hero toons in situations where you would expect to see them all together, which of course I can not do in game.


I’ll get the ball rolling with a recap of what the team has been up to recently.

For information on my individual toons, just follow the link in my sig to the Union Handbook where my toons are listed.

The only important note right now that needs remembering about the group as a whole is that until a link to their existing base back in Durham is created, the team is based out of the Steel Canyon campus of Paragon University due to an agreement between the University and Group Director, Dr Roberts who as part of the deal works at the University as a part time lecturer. Sometimes individual members of the team may base themselves in the other campuses for a day or two for a particular reason.

For example, Eleven likes to camp at the Founder’s campus as he can be more remote than at Steel Canyon and has built a reputation with The Council and Crey Agents of being there, even when he might not be, making anyone thinking of stirring up trouble at the campus, think twice about it.))


Tuesday, mid morning. Dr Roberts holds a meeting in his temporary office for The Dunelm Group to discuss any new or current activities the team is involved with. Dr Roberts sits behind his desk while Leon Tasker, Adam Dennison and Do Lo Might sit in a semi circle facing Dr Roberts. Eleven is off to the side of the group leaning against the wall. He is close enough to remain aware of what is being said but is still able to stare blankly ahead of him as his mind wanders away to different thoughts.

Dr Roberts: “Right team, its time for our regular meeting to discuss what we are doing at the moment to help out the City and it’s citizens. I will say right now that I can appreciate if progress with any of your undertaking is rather slow at this time, with the sudden surge in Rikti Attacks. So please do not worry if you have to admit that you are struggling to complete any of your objectives as I am sure given the circumstances, you are doing the very best you can.

Brigadier Leon Tasker moves to speak.

Leon Tasker: “Actually Dr Roberts I was wondering if we may ask you first, how your progress is going with establishing official partnerships with other groups in the City.”

Dr Roberts: “Yes of course Leon, I have met with a number of members of the various organisations within the City and I am certain I will be able to announce any new coalitions within the next few weeks. As I have mentioned of course, with the recent increase of Rikti attacks, that has stalled any progress I was making.”

Leon Tasker: “Yes of course, that’s understandable.”

Dr Roberts: “I must admit I have somehow managed to get myself caught up in something involving a being from an alternate Earth that is being looked after by The Unity Vigil. I had to help out one evening last week with some diplomacy to defuse a rather heated argument between this said being and some of the Hero Community.”

Adam Dennison: “How did that play out then brother?.......Send them all to their rooms without supper!?!”

Dr Roberts, slightly grinning from Adam’s remark: “Well I think myself and a few other who were also present managed to calm everything down. While it was not the easiest of diplomacy missions I have been involved in, it was by no means the worst.”

Leon Tasker: “Are we going to be needed for anything following this?

Dr Roberts: “I have been somewhat expecting a call from someone within The Unity Vigil asking for additional help with their situation, given that I somehow allowed myself to stumble upon it. However I am sure that The Vigil are able to handle it themselves. But I would appreciate if everyone does their best to keep themselves available to assist if suddenly called upon.”

Leon Tasker nods in agreement and updates his PDA. Dr Roberts writes notes to his minutes before continuing the meeting.

Dr Roberts: “So Brigadier, can you update me on what has been happening with yourself?”

Leon Tasker: “As you have referred to already, there has been a quick rise in Rikti attack on the City. Vanguard have me on pretty much constant contact on a daily basis to update myself and the team of situations around the city. I’m glad to report that so far damage to the City while considerable, is not at a catastrophic level and none of the team have suffered any serious injuries, nether have anyone we have worked with during strikes.”

Dr Roberts: “That’s good to hear” Turns to Do Lo Might “So how has the battles been for you Dominic? Are you coping with it all?”

Do Lo Might: “Aye, well ya kna its been rough gannin. But I’m still in one piece, which is more than can be said of their Assault Heavies!”

Adam Dennison turns to Do Lo and puts on a funny face when asking: “Ooorrah?”

Do Lo Might nods says with some brashness: “Yeah, ooooooorrraaaaah!”

Adam and Do Lo high five each other behind Leon’s head. Leon shakes his head while grinning.

Dr Roberts: “And, dare I ask, how have you faired in the attacks Eleven?”

Everyone turns to Eleven returning to a serious look. Eleven’s scowling look does not flinch and he still looks blankly ahead of him.

Eleven: “They come to any part of the city……and I pile their remains for those lucky to survive to see as they make a run for it!”

Dr Roberts: “Yes….well…..quite! Anything else for you to report Leon?”

Leon Tasker: “There is a kidnapping situation that I have been made aware of due to Eleven helping out at Galaxy City last week with what was a potential bomb threat. A number of heroes were on the scene and stopped the device that was present from detonating. It then transpired that who was responsible for the device had it hooked up somehow to a hostage by the name of Gemme Greys. There is also a report that a hero by the name of Time Skip is also assumed kidnapped but that has not been confirmed yet. I have passed on our contact details to Red Commissar so that we can respond to any calls for assistance, or if we happen to come across any information that may help with this case.”

Dr Roberts: “Very well, lets hope that the matter is dealt with quickly”

Dr Roberts updates his paper notes, while Leon updates his PDA.

Dr Roberts: “Any other business?”

Leon Tasker turns to Eleven: “What happened with that angel character who caused such a ruckus with everyone at Galaxy City late last Thursday?”

Eleven still looks blankly ahead: “He’s in The Zig!”

Dr Roberts: “Oh, what is this exactly?”

Leon Tasker turns back to Dr Roberts: “I was over at the usual meeting place of the hero community at Galaxy and someone that could only be described as an angel with black wings suddenly arrived and began attacking anyone that was around.

Dr Roberts: “So what happened then?”

Eleven: “I came down to the place…..convinced him to take me on, one on one at the arena away from everyone else…….and then I knocked him down!”

Dr Roberts: “So Longbow arrested him after you subdued him.”

Eleven: “Not right away…..when the gadgy came too after I knocked him out he could not remember who he was or what he had been doing….I spent the rest of the night doing what I could to get him help to remember….But when he went into the Freedom Corps building he remembered that he killed two Longbow agents and some of the medical staff there some time ago when he was receiving medical attention after being knocked around the place by what he thought might have been his brother.”

Dr Roberts: “So that is when Longbow arrested him?”

Eleven: “Yes…..although he resisted it……..so I had to knock him out again!”

Dr Roberts raises his eyebrows: “So a quick, abrupt ending to the situation. Which seems to normal for you!”

Adam Dennison grinning as he looks at Eleven: “Closing the ordeal with your usual, questionable philosophy my brother?.......(Cackling)Sorting everything out with the proper application of a striking fist!

Eleven: “Damb right!”

Dr Roberts: “Yes, anyway, is there any other business?”

Leon Tasker: “There is nothing for us to bring up. In fact I think everyone will agree with me that right now we should return to being on standby for Vanguard Alerts as quickly as possible.”

Dr Roberts: “Quite right Brigadier. Try and continue any outstanding duties you have but otherwise the priority right now is for the team is to be alert of any Rikti attacks. This meeting is adjourned. Take care everyone.

The team begin to leave the room. Dr Roberts struggles to carry a pile of notes for an upcoming lecture. Adam and Do Lo keep their sprits up by walking down the corridor while attempting to sing the Nolan Sisters song “I’m in the mood for dancing”. Leon looks on chuckling at their silliness but then looks concerned as he turns round to look at Eleven slowly walking out of the office blankly looking at the floor.

Leon Tasker: “What’s on your mind?”

Eleven stops next to Leon. He keeps looking at the floor with is usual scowling look and hesitates before he answers Leon.

Eleven: “I can’t help but feel I am somehow responsible for that angel fella being where he is now.”

Leon Tasker: “Well you were responsible. You took him down so he could be arrested for the crimes he committed.”

Eleven suddenly looks Leon square in the eyes.

Eleven: “I mean his memory loss…..I didn’t hold back when taking him down……He went down hard……The whole thing seems like he is getting the raw deal for something he might have had no control over…..In my haste to bring him down and then try and piece together what he lost…I’ve ended up putting him where he is when he might not deserve it.”

Leon Tasker: “That will be for his defence to worry about when it comes to trail. That’s not something that ever got on your mind before.”

Eleven: “Fair enough……..just seems another case of me rushing in to stop a madman thinking I am helping everyone……and not realising the consequences…..You know what happened last time I did that…..Almost seems like I have suddenly forgot that mistake.”

Leon Tasker: “I’m sure this situation is completely different to that Eleven. The fact is, the guy broke the law. He would have hurt innocent people in the state he was in. You did what you always do and what needed to be done. You stopped him.”

Eleven looks blankly ahead of him again: “Yeah….ok marra.”

Leon Tasker: “Still, I’m pleased to see you’re trying to think matters like this over. Heaven forbid what would happen to you if you stopped thinking things over altogether. You probably would end up an uncontrollable monster.”

Eleven: “Yeah…..well you just keep me right then marra and point me to where I need to be.”

Leon’s communicator receives a call. Vanguard sends out an alert that Rikti are heading for Steel Canyon.

Leon Tasker: “I tell you where you where I need you now…(Alarm in Steel Canyon starts to go off)….Go out onto the streets and protect the people.”

Eleven gets a determined look in his eyes as he stretches and cracks his neck.

Eleven: “Let’s do this!”

Eleven super speeds out of the University, ready to take the invading Rikti head on.

Hmmm. In which case then, I'll have to try and ask if I can reach her when the time comes.

Unless there is another, similar vain magazine that is active on the scene right now? Might end up trying to create a new magazine myself, but I get the feeling I'll end up making a hash job of it.

Article writing and picture taking is not an issue for me, just making a proper magazine layout and cover will be my problem.


Anyway, I'll worry about that later when I have finished the remaining article. Another update of pages today. All of my toons pages have updated images now that are of a much better resolution than previous. I have also completed the page for my other new villain, Template

I've done a little work with my toons pages today.

I've gone over my exsiting pages and done a little tidying up. Corrected some spelling and grammer, added links to things that needed links and update character history that I thought was a bit out of date now.

I have also created a new page for one of my new villain toons Senshu Hitoku.

Still need to add a picture for him, but in fact I will be updating all my toons pictures ether tonight or tomorrow as some have had costume changes, plus with my newer PC I can get more high rez shots.

Should have another new page done tomorrow for my other new villain, Template.

Other than that, over the next 2 weeks, I will be going back to what I had started a few months ago which was a number of articles to submit for a possible special look at The Dunelm Group for Capes magazine.

In fact I think there is only 1 article left to do, but I will probably go back on the other ones and re-read them and probably end up changing a lot. After that just a case of getting some suitable images for it all and then I'll submit it.

Thats assuming Blackdove is still accepting submissions for Capes?

How did the DXP got for me? To be honest, it felt overall like a bit of a damp squid.

I was off work for the week leading up to the weekend so I had a cracking time then hitting the big 50 on Eleven, Ranpu Tenrai (Super) Eleven and my Warshade, Adam Dennison. In particular the team I was with playing Eleven as we attempted the Imperious TF. Holy [censored]! That is one awesome TF has to be said. It was a shame we could not finish it as we did not have a suitable team build to take down the final Nictus essence that spammed essence drain on our team. My line of thinking was to get them to 50 before the weekend so that I would not be tempted to help ding them over the weekend and spend the time trying to get some of my lower level alts up a bit.

The main character I wanted to work on was Leon Tasker who had been stuck on Level 30 for quite some time. My plan was to get him to Level 40 minimum so that he would be a little more effective in teams in future with more attacks at his disposal. I managed to achieve this aim, but it felt like a 16 hour slog to do so. It started so well on the Friday morning. The first team I was with were all cracking. I believe everyone on that team had managed to jump 5 levels in the space of around 3 hours, doing a combination of radio missions and story arcs with hardly any standing about doing nothing or any long defeat downtime. Alas, we disbanded for lunch and I did not see any of them again.

After that, it just seemed like an almighty pain to get the other 5 levels down. Teams would gather and disband just as quickly, or there would be a lot of standing around doing nothing while those on the team who were mates with each other would talk about whatever random subject that wanted to chat about, and get shirty with those of us asking nicely if we could move onto the next mission.

Saturday was defiantly the best day. My plan for Saturday if I managed to get Leon to 40 was to spend time with my Night Widow, Senshu Hitoku on CoV and try to get as high as I possibly could in the day. Even with a 2 hours gap away from the game in the afternoon due to a chiropody appointment, I managed to get Senshu from Level 25 to 40! For the bulk of the day I teamed with the same team. I apologise right now, I do not have the names of the toons at hand from where this is being typed out, so I hope some of you are forum users and reply to this to say who was in the team most of the time.

It was one of the best teams I have had the pleasure of playing with on the red side. It was one of those teams that just seem to have the right balance and had complete synergy. Very little was said to each other on strategies before taking on types of mobs as we all just seemed to figure out what everyone’s strengths and weaknesses as we went along and played in such a way that we cut down all forms of mobs with ease.

Sunday came and the plan was to head back over to Heroes to try and get Iron Works (Level 33) and Steel House (Level 31) from the low 30’s to the high 30’s, if not as close to 40 as possible. Given what happened on the Heroes side on the Friday, I was not confident that I would be able to achieve 40 with ether character with ease as I had managed on Villains. Again though, the morning started pretty good with Iron Works. The team was not as tight as the one with Leon on the Friday morning but we did pretty well seeing off at least 3 or 4 levels. Again though, the team disbanded by lunch time. And then the day just got tiresome! I somehow manage to stagger on with Iron Works between soloing and the odd small team that would have me and managed to get to Level 37 but then it stopped dead for him. I could not get myself onto a team and no one would join me in an attempt to build my own because it was not possible for me to get anywhere near a full 8. I gathered that I would be better off firing up Steel House and get him around the same level as Iron Works.

It did not get any better. I only managed to get Steel House one level up running solo. Not once did I managed to get Steel House onto a team. Continuing to solo with him did not appeal much to me as it was taking to long for him to get through missions. I got fed up in the end and dotted between toons for the remainder of the evening.

I went back to Villains which seemed to be the only place I could get anything done and got Senshu up another level to 41 but left him there as I wanted to do some arcs at some point before out levelling them. That and some serious lag kicked in that made the game un-playable for a while. I got my Stone Tanker up a level to 41 but that also got boring, still not managing to get onto teams on the blue side.

I finished off the night with a quick run with Leon again just to see if he was any good solo now with new powers. Did not seem too bad, but still wanted be involved in teams but again no luck. After that I called it a night.

So to be fair, I only really had one day over the weekend that I found successful and enjoyable. It is because of that day that I can say the whole weekend was a damp squid. If it was as bad as the other two days, then I would have said it was a complete Epic Fail!

The only other positive I got out of the weekend was that it brought my cousin back to the game in almost a year and talking to him on the mic while the weekend was on, it sounded like he enjoyed himself making some new toons and getting them up to the mid 20’s. I’m hoping this time around he manages to keep being able to pay to continue to play.

It will be better than looking away from the screen to find my note pad to take notes of what is being said to one of my characters for future reference. Doing that usually means I miss something important.

Ok - inventions? Does your character really go down to the auction house, spend some of her fame on a recipe and two or three rare magical artefacts, weld them together with more fame, and attach it to one application of her powers?

[/ QUOTE ]

In case of Iron Works, Steel House and Impervium Tower, yes I do. Not the AH/BM though as that does not make sense to me. But collecting and using salvage from drops to ether repair or upgrade the units then yes I would RP use of the invention system.

For what its worth here is my quick run down on my 3 AI machine toons in the same vain as what others have done on this thread.

Iron Works, Steel House and Impervium Tower were not created by Dr Roberts, but a former student of his, Neil Wilson. For Iron Works, the first creation to function is nothing short of a miracle because Neil could only scrap together what he could find. If you look it Iron Work's first build (Which is still pictured on Iron Works wiki page) it looks like it has been put togeher with sticky tape!

The only reason Steel House (2nd Creation) and Impervium Tower (Final creation) were as advanced as they are, was because Neil could steal better materials and equipment with the help of his previous creations.

The Dunelm Group only inherited Iron Works and Steel House after Neil's death, just like The Court of the Blood Countess have Impervium Tower as it was found by The Countess herself on the beach of Primeva in Nerva.

Iron Works and Steel House are maintained by Dr Roberts at base using his knowledge as a Doctor of engineering. While he certainly has the funds to buy material to upgrade or repair the units, they are usually repaired with salvaged material from the groups engagements as a way of linking the Invention system in game to the RP situation. Its also down to Dr Roberts being big on recycling as he was influenced greatly by his late wife who was a bit of an eco crusader.

Dr Roberts also gets assistance from students at Paragon University due to the team being based there until they can gain access to their original base in Durham. Students being able to use Iron Works and Steel House as part of their study, is part of the deal between Dr Roberts and the University which allow the group to be based at the University campus in Steel Canyon.

In the case of Impervium Tower, his power is self sustaining (Thank you Power Sink ) and purposely generates a surplus in order to create the units electric armor. Any other repairs or upgrades are done by The Courts mad scientists and materials used would be gained from ether salvage or anything that can be stolen, which is typical of any villain group really.

I agree with most here. As long as you are not blantantly asking to feel the wrath of any legal teams for ether breaking EULA or just getting plain sued by Marvel, DC or whoever, its fair game.

Hell, you have used Ironman/Tony Stark as an example and here I am with Iron Works who's build I have openly admitted is an homage/rip-off of Ironman. I have always said though that the original reason was because I was marking out with the movie coming out (Seeing it tomorrow night! OOOOORRRRAAAAAH!). But I made the choice to make the toon's back story totally different. There is no man in a suit, its a cyborg who wants to protect the innocent because it still feels some attachment to the human race.

And to be honest I spend most of the time playing the toon with its 3rd cossie which is nothing like Ironman anyway. But I liked having it setup like Ironman (Its an Energy/Energy baster) as I find it fun to play as a fan of the Ironman story.

So I say if you want to play a toon that is heavily influenced on something you are a fan of, again as long as you are not clearly looking for trouble, go for it.

If anything else I find sometimes it is easier on the mind to play something you don't have to think about because you are just following what the original character did. Its great that so many of us can create and play a character that is original, but surely sometimes it better to spend a evening not taxing the brain for original ideas anf just relaxing the mind and enjoy the evening.

Ok, so I've been one of those who simple has not been bothered with Inventions since they came out. Guess I orginally found them to be too much hassle for someone like me that was just happy with simple SO's.

But after chatting at length with Liz Bathory at Omega Sektor, he's kind of got me interested in looking at IO's seriously now.

My stance on getting my toons IO's up is that I would much rather wait until Lv's 47 onwards to make a start with them and use SO's until then. I have seen many people say that IO'ing should really begin somewhere in the 30's but it just seems easier to me to wait until 47 onwards to get high level IO's. Plus it means I have an excuse to keep playing with toons that reach 50.

So I have had my first Lv 50 toon, a Fire/Fire Blaster, sitting around not doing a great ot so I figured I might as well make a start experiencing IO building with that toon.

I've played around with Mids' planner and came up with the following IO build. The slotting is unchanged from when it was all SO'd up.

Looking at the stats this IO build beats the [censored] out of my SO build by a considerable margin, however I still wan to post it here for more experienced IO builders to have a look to see if I am doing anything obviously wrong before I start building.

Keep in mind I am open to suggestions to change slotting and maybe order of getting the powers listed. I have plenty of respecs if necessary that I have stacked ether from earning them the old fashioned way, or ones given at events, or vet awared. I'm not so keen though on getting rid of powers for other ones though if that can be done.

Enough waffling, here's the build:

OOOOORRRAAAAAH!

Thanks again marra!

I'd say I would owe you one, but I ave no artistic talent so not sure what I can offer in return.

Oh! Wait!

If you want any in game screenshots taken of your toons at a cool 1680 x 1050 Hi-Def resolution, then I can sort you out with that no problem.

Super PC!

[ QUOTE ]
I can do that easily Eleven, do you want the names of your characters or the actors? or perhaps both?

[/ QUOTE ]

Just the name of the characters please, with maybe the title "The Dunelm Group" at the beginning or end of the cycle maybe, again which ever make the most sense.

I only mentioned the real actors names in my previous post to save the inevitable question of "Who that like?"

Cheers muchly!
