Militia Thursdays

I was experimenting with Manolith last night, getting a feel for Stone Armour etc. I'll continue to do so till Thursday then I'll re-roll him.

My concern is how easy is it to roleplay an alien?

Realistically, I'd say it was up to you. Bear in mind that Kheldians are joined with humans and, especially as you're toying with an all human PB, you can play out the human side and downplay the alien - should you so desire.

I've got a sassy, Georgia-girl WS who doesn't really exhibit anything in the way of alien-ness. She's who she is and was - the alien hasn't changed her fundamentally.

Hope this is helpful and remember, in the end, 'tis up to you.

They all sound good. I'd say, look at the demographic of the team so far and see what fits. In the end, go with gut instinct.

As for playing a woman, it's not as hard as you may think. I have just as many female alts as male, so it's nice to have variety. If you're worried about "maleness" coming through into the character, you can always just make the character a bit masculine herself.

I would have thought the alien idea would be the easiest to play, just think of all of the inspiration from tv aliens in the likes of Star Trek, Babylon 5(I still miss it terribly) etc.

I'm a bit concerned that my wizard(defender)may lack a strong personality in the team. But maybe that's just him. The main thing that concerns me though is that I just play me.

Thanks for the help chaps.

I am a bit concerned about RP'ing a kheldian to be honest. I dontthink I can infuse it with enough personality.

TO my mind then, its between a claws/dark scrapper (as above) although the RPing a female thing is a bit tricky (even if I play her butch!), or the mind/storm controller which sounds fun to RP. Ive been pen and papering the build for the latter and it looks really tough to get whole concept in. Basically Ill have to skip travel powers (which dont fit with his concept anyway) - does anyone object to this / can help out?

hey guys. i was just wonderin what the SG colours were gonna be and if we were having a set uniform or not? sort of xmen style

I think the best idea would be to not have set SG colours, as it limits the creativity of people's creations.

It's still possible to enter SG mode without them, in order to gain prestige for a nice shiny base if we want one.

Yeah, as much as I like the uniform idea I don't think it works too well in COH, even when it's just a symbol. As Max said:it limits people. An example of this is my character who does not dress in traditional superhero garb; he'd feel stupid and it just wouldn't be right for him. It could also lead to confusion I would imagine.

That's just my opinion anyway.

Battleflag

I'd have to agree. I'm not against SG colours per se but IC-wise, it just wouldn't work (my character is very attached to the colours he wears... ).

WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE PM ME THEIR CHARACTER'S NAME AND AT SO I CAN POST THE SEMI FINAL LIST BEFORE THURSDAY?

If my calculations are correct(and they may not be)we still have 4 slots left, although whether they're filled or not doesn't really matter. At the moment we should be looking to run two teams of 6. I suggest we do the organising in Atlas, it shouldn't be a big prob as long as we cooperate. Assuming I'm there(I hope so!!!)I'll start forming one team, a volunteer needed for the second please! I won't say anything about an even spread of ATs and powers as we all know what we're looking for. I suggest that those who can should meet up for a chat afterwards back at Reach For The Stars Girl. We'll also need to quickly decide on a level cap for the following week. I'll post it here and in The Militia thread afterwards to avoid confusion.

Battleflag will be in front of Back Alley Brawler at 7ish(probably)if anyone wants to team with him for The Hollows. He's fine to just get on a team alone so don't feel obliged. I'm just going there to see if anyone is looking to get into the IC side of things. I wonder if the crazy Hulk impersonator will be there again?

THANKS

BATTLEFLAG

Im going to play Astrophobia (Mind/Storm troller) if thats ok with evertone.

Id suggest due to interest there are two teams of 8? ie a SG of 16? we could always play two teams bit of mixy matchy. Bear in mind not everyone can be there every week

Thanks for the info Blitz. No it's not at Back Alley, that's something different.

Diamondskin, Invulnerability/War Mace Tanker. (He's only War Mace because there's no Louisville Slugger powerset.)

Let's set up tentative teams here on the forums; otherwise we'll spend half an hour getting organised before getting around to doing anything. With only two hours bouts organising time makes a huge dent; let's try to work out as much as possible on the forums.

Oh, and please, could we have a moratorium on all caps and writing "you" as "u"? It's my personal kryptonite. Feels like a cheese-grater rubbing slowly down my spine. Not pleasant. Not pleasant at all.

Why not use SS?

Ok cool. Battleflag or dante ( since you did it before) can you make a roster, as in who's in the milita as of now and what ats we have? just so as lief said all the organizing can get done ere and we can go straight to IC fun on thursday!

Oh and lief this quotes for u (you)lol:

Supergirl's clone "Boredom is my kryponite, well kryptonite is my kryptonite, but you know what I mean.."

P.S from the Bio thread i count 12 of us so far:

Delvin Saint: defender?
Brother Tchall: empath Defender
Dragonfly: katana scrapper
Diamondskin:Invulnerable tanker
BoosterIce: Ice Controller
The Amber Banshee: Sonic Blaster
Nelson Prague (P.I): Mind Controller
Manolith: Invulnerable Tanker
Tatters: Spines? Scrapper
Blitz Arrow: T.A defender
Extrisity: electrical blaster
Astrophobia : Mind controller

Because the character doesn't have super strength.

Ahhh so it's more a "hit things till they stop moving" type deal?

Let's just say he talks softly.

I like him already .. lol

In reponse to Leif's wise words, I'll try to post two teams of 6 tomorrow. Using the info I've got I'll put an emp defender on each team and spread the rest as best I can.

Any volunteers to lead the other team?

Was it blitz or Cog who was asking about tonights meet. It was an informal, all levs meet in front of Back Alley Brawler. The idea is every night at 7 to get an IC team together or just say hello.

Right I'm off to The Hollows.
