RP SGs Request

Hello!

I have decided to try and get into some RP SG/VGs on Virtue. I have 32 toons, most are part of my own Groups (Hero and Villain) but are just place holders for some good SG/VGs. Normally I try to RP my way into SG/VGs, but now it has been rather... lacking. I notice many RP SG/VGs, even ones I used to be a part of, are less in the open, or less open about what their SG/VGs are.

Now, I know there are SG and VG directories, yet it is a bit of a hassle to look through all of them, and neg rep me if you think I'm being lazy, I don't mind. But I am here to see how many are willing to read, and try to sell their SG/VG out to me! those show me they are at least somewhat active, have a part of their community in the forums, and can fit my Specs if they send me a message or a forum post. I will explain my own schedule, and frequency of availability online, and some requires OOC I need for the SG/VG. I will then give some discriptions of toons I want in an SG/VG and explain what they are looking for in an SG/VG.

First!
OOC Statistics:
Frequency Online: Usually I can be on everyday, and am. Sometimes friends bother me to play, but I don't want to have a 'don't log on in a week or we kick you' deal. had that and was juggling. Sometimes I forget to log onto a toon in a while.

Times On: Usually I get on at late nights. From 10pm to 3 or 4am Eastern. Also, I have some communities I do outside of CoX, such as D&D and Mutants and Masterminds online. I do those on the side, usually, so may be multitasking while I CoX, that bothers you, maybe I'm not for your SG/VG.

Fighting In-Game: Usually I do not enjoy text fighting of any kind, Prone to God-Moding. I prefer the Arena, but am pretty poor at true PvP. If I get dragged into text fighting, I usually RP out with the powers my character has, in a sense of Text-PvP mixed in game. I won't use powers that character doesn't have, and RP out in-game levels. If you are level 15 and fighting a level 50, there will be a chance, but your mezzes, damage and other powers will be less effective on the 50!

Notes: I am very sporadic, maybe I will get on every day, soemtimes I have IRL friends come and go, so sometimes I go missing for 2-4 days at a time, and come back, usually in a good mood.

There are some bits of information that may help if you need a certain type in your SG/VG.

Characters interested in SG/VGs at the time! (You can see images of these characters in my Sig)

Epilepsy: An Alternate dimension version of one (Technically two) of my Villains. She is not a native to this dimension but fits in fine. She is an expert at cybernetics but not much good at anything else. She can be a bit crude, but has her heart into helping people, even if she makes off color jokes. She has a place for cyborgs as she, herself, had to replace much of her body. She will always be there for a hero, or villain, that needs a better cybernetic replacement than they have. She would prefer an SG that is more Modern Age. She is not all gung-ho Heroes and tights and justice. She's more there to crush the villains and force them into submission. Not a fan of death, but she finds mutilation worse and if someone is suffering is not opposed to Euthanasia.

Lindworm: A Christian Mutant. he was raised as a good boy, and always has been. He has saint-like patience and nothing warms his heart more than seeing a villain turned around and fighting on the side of good to try and turn others. Always the one to speak first, to try and convince others into turning from their dark path before fighting. He is an old school D&D Nerd as well. He had taken up the game when it first came out, and is happy with the adaptations. Into roleplaying and into historic museums, he is kind of a geek for Romanticized Medieval Worlds. He would prefer a group that is of a fellow faith, or at least golden age heroes that look into trying to save even those they battle against.

Dragonblood Paragon: An 'ordinary' hero. She is a mix of mutation and magic, being that she is a Spellscale(Points for those that knows what that is). She is a paragon of blue Dragon Magic, and tries to keep her Hero and Civilian life separate. Just saying her mutation is cosmetic, with no power bonuses. She is always Analytic and calculating when first met, but can be a bit of a crude jokester about things of sex, religion and government, sometimes bordering on offensive. She would be interested in a more Silver Age group, or even Bronze Age. She can work with a general group or magic group. If they are mixed with people that follow Dragon Magic, all the more excited she'll be!

Dominating Presence: An Anti-Villain. A man who was tortured by a super soldier program after being part of the military. He saw his government for how it was and came away. He tries, now, to dismantle the establishment, in order to establish a better order. He recruits the poor, the hungry, the ill, anyone who wants better, into his own 'Company' of 'Soldiers'. He would look for like minded people. People who care about the people under the government, and willing to do anything to get them better benefits. He would steal from big companies, steal food and even kill CEOs or Politicians to ensure those under his care are taken well care of.

Golden Gadgeteer: A Stock Broker who goes Mercenary for the thrill. He works as a Hero, to make sure he gets good deals. He doesn't like the idea of shady doings, figuring he would get ripped off, or in more trouble. He would love to join a group of Thrill-Seekers, unfortunately he's about fifty years old so the hip young SGs are out for him! He would be better for a more Modern or Bronze age SG.

Frost Shade Draken: A Frost Shade. He does not know he is dead, and refuses the idea he is. His refusal the only reason he is still alive after dying in the snow-capped mountains. How did he get to the Isles? Who knows. He works to help people that are kind to him. Any VG would work for him, as long as the members are nice and kind to him.

Feral Frost: An Inventor. Only 16, emancipated and had created a suit meant to freeze speedsters. He hates the speeding buggers with a passion, as his mother was murdered by a mutant with super human speed. As a way for revenge he dedicated his use of technology to slow them to his own level. He is most willing to join an anti-mutant or anti-super SG, but would love people with the technological slant he has. He is willing to listen, but always has a short fuse for people who don't have to 'earn' their powers, whether through training, technology or genetic know-how.

Phoenixheart: A 54 year old woman who had used genetic research to find a temporary 'youth serum'. The serum only works on a very very small part of the population, she a part of. The serum gives her youthful 24 body back, though for only 2-4 hours a day, along with the bonus of nigh invulnerability, and has used it for months to train in combat. She helps heroes now and has the idles of the heroes of her youth 'Truth and Justice for all!'. She wants to work to stop villains, be flashy, be punny, and be willing to give others a second chance. Give her a True Golden Age SG and she will be happy as she can be!

And those are the ones looking, others might be, but for now that is it! If anyone cares and reads this then thinks 'That person would be good for the SG/VG I'm in or am building!' send me a PM OR just reply in this forum, as you could get support for your SG/VG, as well as advertise it for others! How nice is that?

With love,
Me! <3

Your first character, Epilepsy, and your anti-villain, might fit into our SG/VG. We are almost specifically geared towards casual players and people who have a lot of other activities.

Oh, I apologize.

Click on the link in my signature for further information about the SG and the RP concept, as well as links to our website.

They say, in Russian, that "an attempt is not a trial". (It's a pune - or play on worrds).

If it works, it works, and you will have benefited from the get-go. If it doesn't, then nothing horrible happened. Nobody's planning on spamming hate-maill in your inbox.

Any other SG/VG requests for above characters? Would be helpful. If none else given in a week guess I'll have to search more myself.

Well I didn't see a perfect fit for my small clan of players, Dragonblood Paragon was probably closest, but we're very much PG-13, so I don't know if it would work.

We're a Bronze-age group (think 70's and 80's) a fast hybrid of super-science and high fantasy.

We take our general style from Wolfman, Claremont, Infantino and Kirby. Kree versus Skrull, Dark Phoenix, New Gods, Galactic Guardians, the Slade/Terra sage, and most especially Crisis on Infinite Earths, is the kind of thing we're shooting for. We wrap the whole sandwich up with a northern theme, as our base is located in a fictitious country underneath the arctic ice. Alternate timelines, and alternate Earths in the past and future are going to be a key focus this winter (which is when I tend to RP most, I stop role playing quite a bit as spring/summer rolls around).

I'd extend a legit invitation but we're a scattered group. We tend to RP the most late on Saturday and Sunday nights, and we spread our toons across three super-groups that form one larger group. We did this for reasons of theme, and so we could each have a crack at designing a different style of base.

We're also very insular. Not because we're snobs, but because none of us are online enough to forge broader ties. When most of us do, reach out further, we usually fall apart or bite off more than we can chew. Also our PG-13 style puts some people off, most of Virtue goes for MRP.

So while I am not much help, I would welcome you as a role player any time you happen to see me online. My global is @Ravyna. If you are online and just need some RP, shoot me a tell, I'll happily invite you to one of our bases or help you run an RP-AE mission, or whatever suits you needs.

So while, I can't really offer you a home, (we're too flaky to offer anyone a home), I can offer you RP companionship, and someone to add to your friends list when you need some RP. Anyway, if you need someone to RP with, feel free to look up @Ravyna, I'm always up for a little RP.

Best of luck with your search.

Heh, oddly enough, that seems to be the general groups way of it, nowdays. A lot of the groups I used to be in fell into decadance, or just don't associate much with those outside the group, don't advertise, or are generally unknown throughout. It's kind of weird that I just started realizing.

And the frightening thing is... I haven't the faintest clue what any of these things are.

Probably because you are younger than Blade Runner, and Episode IV (a good thing). On the other hand, I was reading comics daily, back when Jimmy Carter was president. I actually used paper route money to subscribe to this comic, shortly after the first issue debuted...



A really bad move, since the second issue came four months later, and then the third issue came two years later, and by then my subscription had been forgotten - making me bitter and angry for the rest of my days.

I'd like to gently urge you to read a little on Kirby. He's probably comic's "Joe Dimmagio", or "Vince Lombardi", and the godfather of the "Silver Age"

Jack Kirby

Some fun reading there, anyway I thought you might find it interesting.

Virtue and COH is old. Old RP servers tend to coalesce into small, tight groups of trusted friends. They also have to deal with absenteeism, as players wander off and then back on for months at a time. My WOW RP server, has a revolving door it seems, as players leave, then come back after a few months. Not all of us, but many of us are very migratory in our play.

Also COH is a fairly casual game these days, at least it is for me and most of my friends. There's too many other games to play. I think this explains why so many groups are tightly connected to their peers, but don't often seek others openly.

Don't worry though, there's plenty of places for you to find a home.

Anyway, the @Ravyna offer up above, still stands. Genia's group is worth exploring, and I think you'll find villain side has a few groups of great quality as well.

The Paragon Universe folks also have a superb guild portal and has Fuse Neutralus in their ranks, a young role player I greatly admire.

Just give it time, you'll find your niche for several of your characters.

I loved your JPG with all your characters on one image by the way, a nice cross section you have there! Well done.

Oh. You misunderstand. I grew up on this and some of this... we-ell and a little bit of that.

But not these.

That's right. I am a CoH player and the only comics I read were some Alan Moore stuff. And Asterix.

*bows and departs offstage*

Asterix is a huge win for me. I had to read the damn things in french, but they were still great. Tintin was also full of win.

Can you read Asterix not in French?

All right, all right, so I read it in Hebrew first, but still...
