I am TOTALLY not pushing for the Metal/Rap super-hero album idea when I say that Formspring has actually helped me flesh out some ideas by getting questions asked that might not come up in normal RP such as the pet one.

Steven "Synaptus" Murwin- Elec/Rad 'troller, mutant. Steven, a loyal Praetorian, gained his powers while dosing on a designer drug. The drug caused him to emit electricity and various forms of energy discharge, not limited to radiation. So he started a metal band. His band 'Six Levels, One Boss' is a huge hit in Praetoria, even with the stoic Emperor Cole. Such singles include "Resist my Fist", "Desyndicate", "Vice Grip Vindicator" and "Grim Enricher". -

So...screwing up the normal travel pool order completely is a good thing now? If it's not broken, don't try and fix it.
Oh, and 'Knock Forward' attacks are impossible. The Devs tried to make them work, and couldn't. Knock *back* is possible, and down. But not 'towards the caster'. It's a technical limitation. -

We should get the OP updated with a list of everyone's formspring accounts and get this thread stickied. I've been trying to follow everyone myself.

Also because it came with the AE edition which brought in plenty of players.

Poision, but you'd have to be a mastermind, Radiation is as close as it gets, again.
-
The radiation sets Generate smoke clouds for the majority of it's powers as well.

It's odd that you guys seem to be forgetting the possibility of a Swinging pool power being constructed differently than previous Travel pools to accommodate this "Looks silly" thing which "sounds silly" to be honest
1: Zipline: You are given a targeting reticule similar to teleport powers. Click and your character is "knocked" to that location.
Can be used anywhere
Like the web zip in Spider-man 2 and Ultimate spider-man
2: Line yank( I know): A targeted knock.. forward attack that does minor damage.
3: Building swing: Your character jumps in the air, swings forward, and automatically swings again. Automatically sets your character to auto run, has a wider arc to turn with, and is fast, but can only be used in city environments or indoors.
Like the First spider-man Movie game, basically.
4: Swing attack: Like sheild charge, select a location/target and your character will swing up above the camera and come down with a kick at the target.
The idea that each travel pool can only have one "Real" travel power is limiting this set. -
I've been pretty out of the loop about the new fancy stuff so Maybe there's info about this that I don't know.
Does anybody know if any new, Full-blown Super booster packs are in the works?
When I say full-blown Super Boosters I mean something with two or more costume sets, New Emotes, new Costume Change emotes, a power, and maybe some other thing. -
So this actually looks like Scads of fun and I had to try it with my brand-new Praetorian, Mobilise, mostly since he's the only character I have who'd do something egotistical like this

Enjoy the outlandishness that is a rapper with Super-speed.
Sorry for the shortness, he's new.
Edit: I definitely think this serves RPing better than twitter due to the interactive nature, whereas an In-character twitter is basically just you trying to come up with interesting things to say IC while also maybe revealing this or that neat fact. -
I told you about Stairs bro!

Sorry about the last weeks, we had inspections, so they had me do as much as I could. I'm back.

Quote:I'm pretty sure I got in a stupid debate with you concerning names where I suggested exactly that, Sammy. Theif!Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Something I'm reminded of with this talk of secret identities, is I've always wanted to be able to give my characters a "nickname." When I name them, I tend to give them full names. For instance, there is the Herald of Light. But, really, are you going to say that every time you speak with him? Because that turns into "Good night, John Spartan. Be well!" No, you'll call him just the Herald, as most people I've had him team with actually do. Or how about Revenant Jack? Long, cumbersome name, right? Well, people usually call him Jack, or on rare occasions "Rev."
Even the eponymous Samuel Tow never gets called that. Ever. Unless someone copy-pastes my name out of the forums (as evident by the presence of the underscore), it's usually just "Sam," even from people I don't actually know on occasion.
But my contacts, being that they use direct text replacements, just use $name. They can't use a nickname for me, because the system isn't smart enough to come up with one. So why not let me come up with one and supply it for the system to use? For instance, I have one name field which is my character's actual name and the name that I need to use for invites, kicks, promotions and so forth. Another name is "nickname" or "civilian name" or whatever else you want to call it. This is the name I actually want contacts, civilians, villains and so forth to use when they are addressing me directly. So it'll be "Did you hear that Samuel Tow is a really disagreeable fellow?" vs. "Hey, Sam, you suck!" World of difference.
Civilization games have always done that, as far back as I can remember. They give you the ability to cite a name, to cite a name, and then another name for rulers to use when addressing you, as some languages have differences there (like mine does). Then you have the name of the nation, the adjective for a member of this nation, the plural of said adjective and a few other things. So you'd have something like "Australia" "Australian" "Australians." Or, as might be the case for me "България" " Българин" "Българи" "Българино" just as an example of a language where these vary a bit more.
So, yes, I'm definitely in favour of "cosmetic alternate names."
Anyway,
Re: Secret Identities, I think a better application for secret identities would be a minigame of sorts, whereing you balance your super life with your normal life.
I.e: You choose(it'd have to be optional) to have a secret identity at character creation and then you'd go on to flesh out some details
1: Day job( Thing'sd be more vague in this department, Office worker, warehouse worker, student, medical worker, e.t.c.)
2: Family, pick how many family members you'd have, mom, dad, wife, husband kid, up to four
When you finish, you'd have a little meter or icon on screen that would indicate your balance between hero life and normal life, when too much attention was paid to heroing the normal would fall and vice versa.
In order to balance things, you would have to switch into your alternate id/name/costume and go do a fun(hopefully) minigame that pertained to the thing you'd do, work, or socializing with your family/friends.
Of course, that's completely unrelated to the capabilities or mentality of this game, but that's my idea. -
we need this

*Ka-chick* Undercover work is easy when you can make everyone think you're someone else.
glad I don't have to pretend to be a woman anymore, -

I have to say I don't really see someone who would use Wal Mart, happily buying stolen goods in a car park (which is the equivalent of this merger) -
am I the only one who sees Energy Aura as being pretty spherical?

Is this a strictly Union thing(Me no unerstandy unionverse) cause I've got a favored Undeady type I'd love to bring.

I don't see a shred of evidence to back that up.
