Hmm quick question, will this affect both sides of the game, hero and villain?

I'm personally more inclinded to use Amy since her special skill is 'nigh invulnerability to kinetic based damage' (bones can't be shattered by any amount of blunt force...but they can push her joints out of socket, anything magical and she'll resist it half decently, psionics are her main weakness) and 'incredulously strong' though she's outmatched by near god level characters like Ellie.

Doctor Mechano has all the problems of a villain with him, he's got large amount of resources, he's a lot smarter than Amy and he can apply comic book science to a problem, if it's magical or even more fantastical (like mutant fire controlling abilities...which even HE can't figure out how they do it since it requires not only a mutant gene but a force of will bordering on the psychic to shape and control the element as far as he can see) then despite having a 'demon side' he's pretty much up a creek without a paddle.

Obviously plotwise I would reign him in if he were to be involved.

It's quite simple to involve Dr Mech there.

The way I have this set up, it's mostly going to be hero-side. I could extend it villain-side for specific cases, but my inclination is to stick to what I know, and I don't know (or really like) red-side.

She is not!

Ellie, though powerful, also has some pretty major weaknesses (And Birdy knows them all ). He could easily neutralise her in plot were it necessary.

Yes, my devious (deviant?) plan is to neutralise Ellie by burrying her under a mountain of catnip.

Richard will be taken care of by giving Shanna total control of her powers, which should keep them both busy for a few weeks.

I'd be tempted to bring Jen, or one of my more human chars along. To see what happens.

And what exactly are you implying Birdy?

At least that's a better excuse than being distracted by something shiney.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Able to be dragged out for use

Grey Forecast (Coward, but strong Weather related powers - Boundless Skies alligence)
Averment (Conspiracy Theorist and Technopath/Gadgeteer)
Adducement (Averment's assistant and robot!)

...and there's a couple of slots free. And there's some characters I never RP with (or haven't more than once).


Forse: lvl 22 FF/NRG Defender
Tam Krannock: lvl 37 Shield/Mace Tanker
Toppa Grace: lvl 25 Fire/Ice Blaster
----
Red Commissar: I'm in the Queen Mother. Only more awesome. And alive

Ooh, are we listing characters?

Available for most anything

Buck the Troll - reformed Troll genius with the strength of, ooh, at least a hundred men, and a recovered 'Dyne addict. He can work stuff out and hit people!

...

...Err, that's pretty much it.

People who can contribute indirectly

Blue Moon - physics professor with incredible talents of gravity control, retired from the heroing life after her powers put her in a coma for four months. Can probably sit around at the University and crunch numbers or whatever you need.

...and again, that's pretty much the only one... I need more RP heroes

You know what the gameverse needs? A comedy plot! Where no one gets hurt, no one gets upset, and absolutly no one gets stressed out! A practical joker maybe?

You may be right, but I'm terrible at comedy plots, so someone else is going to have to do that.

Practical joker, however, not such a good idea. Not everyone likes practical jokes.
