I would love to play Scarlet for you !! PM me the info of when and where I need to be, I will roll a brand new toon for ya !
oh I totally forgot to mention I'm doing this on Justice server.
I still need a couple people for the project. As a reminder, I want to try and coordinate all of this through team speak so you should have the team speak client set up. I'll contact you with the connection details.
I still need someone to stand in for Trivolt, The Longbow Spec Ops, and the Miner.
It would be helpful if you have a costume that is the same approximate height of the character you are standing in for.
Longbow Spec Ops: 6 feet tall
Enraged Miner: Under 6 feet tall
Trivolt: 6 ½ feet tall
If you make a new costume to match the height of the character, please let me know. I will reimburse you up to 1.5m Inf for the tailor costs.
If you have any questions, either post 'em here or toss me a PM
Greetings from your local insane... well.. whatever I happen to be right now. Anyway, As some of you are undoubtedly aware I have in the past attempted to make a series of fan based comics using City of Heroes as the back drop. Well, I'm at it again. And I'm running into a problem, namely man power. I'm only one person, and even with a mastermind I have difficulty doing what I'm trying to do (I'm not that good with pet commands), so here I am asking for some help.
Now, I'm sure you're asking "What do you us to do?" Well, the good news is I've learned a lot of tricks that I can use to make this waaaaay easier for you. Literally all you will have to do is be online, stand where I tell you to stand, and push a button when I tell you to push a button. I have built a bind file that I will send you. When you push the button associated with the bind your toon will perform an emote and say something in the local channel. I will demo record it. That's literally all there is to it.
So what do I need for this? I need 7 people online at the same time. Each player will represent a particular character in my comic and the binds for that character will be set accordingly. We will go into a mission I made in the AE, clear out an area of enemies, and perform the actions I need performed while I demo record each piece. That's all there is to it.
I'll be upfront and tell you all that this is a test run of this process. So the scene I'm making will be short and honestly will seem like it's a part out of a larger story, which it is. But So far the script I'm writing is about 6 pages long of text.
I did a bit of a test on with it last night, and turned this:
The miner turns with the flash light to investigate a corner.
He sighs
Miner: Alright, this is stupid!
So you can see how a little bit of text in word amounts to a lot of space in a comic and that if I were to try and do a test of a full 18-24 page issue you all would probably make a special trip to Virginia just to hang me.
Once I have a better idea of time and effort required based on 5-6 of script I'll be in a better position to break it down into more manageable chunks. That way I can try and do more work with fewer people standing around.
So, who's willing to help me out here?
Here's the entire passage I want to do on this test run:
A group made of up Scarlet Thundress, Torroes Prime, Tri-volt, a Long Bow Spec Op, 2 Arachnos Wolf Spiders, a Miner and a Crab Spider trudge through the knee-deep sludge
*The miner turns with the flash light to investigate a corner.*
*He sighs*
Miner: Alright, this is stupid!
Longbow: What?
Miner: The fact that were down here, playing Hide and go seek.
Wolf Spider 1: And what would you recommend we do?
Miner: Get up there and fight!
Crab Spider: Yeah, the Rikti bombed the whole damned planet. The least we can do is actually put up a fight.
Wolf Spider 2: You dont get it, we already lost the planet.
Miner: So what? You saying we cant take it back? That it mr. Spider man?
Torroes Prime: No. We WILL fight to take back the planet. But not now.
Miner: And why not? Whats stopping us?!
Scarlet Thundress: Organization.
Crab Spider: huh?
*Torroes points to the Longbow Spec Ops*
Torroes: When was the last time you heard from Longbow HQ?
Longbow: *Shrugs* About a month ago, I guess. Probably a little more.
*Torroes points to the Crab Spider*
Torroes: What about Arachnos? What kind of support and man power can they bring?
Crab Spider: um well I mean Lord Recluse disappeared into the portal, and Scorpion and Mako went at it so . I guess theres something that Lord Scirroco could bring, maybe.
Scarlet Thundress: Recluse is gone, and whatever stabilizing effect he had on Arachnos has also vanished. It is doubtful that Ghost Widow still lives, and the infighting between Mako and Scorpion has crippled the whole of the Arachnos Organization.
Trivolt: Yeah, aint like the Rikti could have picked a better time to attack. The only folks that could stand up to em were Vanguard. Not that they did so great.
*Torroes Grunts*
Torroes: With Arachnos, Longbow, and Vanguard out of commission we are at a major disadvantage and we need both organization and man power before we can do anything.
Thundress: Which is why we are going to rescue Wicked Blue. She is a capable fighter and an accomplished leader.
*Torroes looks at the group*
Torroes: Lets take a break.
Longbow Spec Ops: Ill scout ahead.
*Longbow cloaks*
Torroes: Be careful. Were here to rescue Wicked Blue. We dont need a second person to rescue.
*Trivolt leans against the wall*
Trivolt: Wouldnt bother me any to have a second person to person to pull out.
Scarlet Thundress: And why would that be, Trivolt?
Trivolt: Simple. You and bull man there are paying me to pull your girl out. Second target, second fee.
*Torroes rises to his full height and turns to face Trivolt*
Torroes: Trivolt, I am only going to say this once. These people may just be potential marks for your next paycheck, but they are my allies. If I think for even one second that you are deliberating hindering our progress just to raise your profits, I will kill you. Is that clear?
Trivolt: Yeah, bull. Its clear.
Trivolts thoughts: At least as long as youre paying me its clear.
*Torroes walks by Thundress*
Torroes: (Whispering to Thundress) I dont trust Trivolt. Watch him closely.
*Thundress nods*
I would like to try use Team Speak or some similar form of Voip to direct this. I think that will be easier then using the chat system in the game.
I need your toon to have a costume that is comparable in size to the character you're representing during shooting. I'm working on compiling a set of approximate heights for each character now. How you accomplish your toon having the proper height is entirely up to you. If you want to a roll a throw away toon just for this to make him the right size, that's fine. if you want to make a new costume for your toon I'll reimburse you up to 1.5m inf for the tailor charge.
height of the respective characters:
Longbow Spec Ops: 6 feet tall
Wolf Spiders: between 5 and 7 feet tall
Crab Spider: Max height.
Enraged Miner: Under 6 feet tall
Trivolt: 6 ½ feet tall
Scarlet Thundress: 7-8 feet
I already have 2 other people who have volunteered to help me out that will be standing in for the Crab Spider and one wolf spider. So I just need people for the other characters.
If you have any questions, please post them here.
So, who's willing to help me with this?
