Crinoverse: Truckin' Titans: OOC thread

[Kreuzritter]

just a heads up, I was up LATE last night for the Champions Online end of anniversary party/Return of Doctor Destroyer event.

if i do any posting today, i cannot guaranteee its coherence...

[Arthur Eld]

Yeah, sorry I don't have much to contribute here, I have very limited experience with South Park.

[kenseido]

Tom is about to join the large list of candidates for Cartman's father.

[kenseido]

I think its best that Cain doesn't know who he was talking too. Cain would probably think JC was just another town crazy then.

[Demonicuss Krinn]

But if someone did ask who that white-robed man was, it'd be the perfect opportunity to drop THE TRUTH on 'em.

If, by chance, the time jump didn't work, feel free to manually click the link, then go to 10:16 in the vid.

EDIT: Alternate take with more Dude.. (Coverin' my ass by noting there's some salty language in this one. - 4:04 if the time jump doesn't work)

[Kreuzritter]

well, he might be the real deal, or he might have just be a Pure Gestalt who was ahead of the Wave

[kenseido]

Hope you're feeling better, Kruez.

[kenseido]

So I figure the pink creature's "attack" caused Cain's will to get a bit stronger, so I upped his Wisdom by 2 and Will save by 1.

Background:
Cain is the son of Jacob Bennet, a powerful industrialist, and Eliza. His mother died in childbirth and Jacob treated Cain as the successor to his legacy from the get go, even after he re-married and had children with his second wife.

Cain, however, was only ever interested in art. At the age of thirteen, he found he had the ability to control metal. As time passed, he slowly developed control over his magnetic abilities. He kept them a secret because his father was highly prejudiced against metas.

When Cain turned 16, he told his Dad he wasn't interested in college; his father took it in stride. Having never graduated college himself, Jacob felt his son would do better working his way up to the top like he did. He put his son to work after school and in the summer in his business. Undaunted, Cain continued working on his art in whatever free time he could find.

After graduating high school, he continued working at his dad's company until one day he witnessed a bank robbery. During the chaos, the escaping criminals lost control of their vehicle and was headed for a woman and her small child. Without thinking, Cain reacted and stopped the car in mid-air. Unfortunately, the whole thing was filmed and Cain's exploits made the evening news.

Cain's father immediately disowned him and produced evidence that his mother had an affair and Cain wasn't his child. Abandoned by his family and ostracized by his public outing, Cain decided leaving Freedom City and exploring the country was a perfect way to start over and inspire new art.

Complications
Prejudice In addition to being a changeling, descendant of a denizen of Faerie, and a wereleopard, Tom Lucci is of partial Indian descent. Some people might not take kindly to him in any form.
Temper Tom is a hunter at heart, and while he strives to never strike from rage, but rather from a place of cautious peace and wakeful awareness, there is a beast inside of him that wants to chase, hunt, and kill. If he loses control of his anger, or his fear he might just lash out at whatever's fighting him, or he could lose control of himself.
Involuntary Transformation Tom is not a wholly natural being. Certain effects, usually those magical in nature, could bring his transformation on against his will, or lock him in one of his forms, or prevent him from accessing his transformations altogether. Likewise, something that affects his mind or emotions could have similar results.
Caste system Tom is a member of the wereleopards, and while his small tribe in West Virgina knows no other Bastets (werecats), its possible certain long-lived members of other higher ranked groups (the were-lions and the self-proclaimed rulers of all Basterts were-tigers) may see him as overstepping his bounds.
I'm holding that for a friend, officer Tom does a lot of things to keep himself mellow. One of these things is to smoke a lot of pot. There are lots of people, some of them in positions of authority, that disapprove of this.
Karoush: The Litany The Lucci family are not too line line with other Bastet traditions, but they do value this simple code. What it boils down to is Honor yourself Honor Your Word Honor Your Kin and Kind Honor Your Earth Honor Your Silence.
Yava Bagheera (were-leopards and panthers) sleep deeply during the New Moon. Once they slumber, nothing short of violence can awaken them.

Upped Tom's Charisma by 2 and his Fortitude by 1.

so, once again, i have to ask, is everybody still having fun? we're in the final stretch here, and things'll be a bit different.

namely, for reasons that'll become obvious, i'll be turning some narrative duties over to Kenseido

also, some foes that i hope will actually pose a challenge to you

[kenseido]

I am enjoying this game. Will definitely be interested in your next game.

[Yeoman]

I am, I think I just overextended myself as far as teh number of games I'm in. I apologize for not giving this as much attention as I should.

Anyhow, new stas for Rachel, mostly just upper her saves cause I'm unsure of what else to do.

Picasso is a four-foot humanoid Platypus who was uplifted from normal animaldom
after being exposed to magical space radiation care of a meteorite made of Space Australium that landed in his zoo cage. following his gaining human intelligence Picasso broke into the entertainment industry becoming a much beloved figure on children's television. Sadly the same magical space radiation that granted him human level intelligence ended his career years later when Picasso suddenly manifested destructive Eye lasers on set. While no one was seriously injured Picasso's career was finished as he was deemed too risky to have near children. Picasso took several months off to learn to control his powers but after that no one would hire him. As a result Picasso is in the middle of a mid-life crisis which has led him to begin a career in superheroing. where this will take him, no one knows.

Went a bit nuts and gave Picasso some nifty new alt powers. and a little bit of Luck.

Enigma wrapped in a mystery: Rheas past is just that a mystery and one even Siren has yet to unravel. Her only clue was on a trip to Atlantis with Siren several people there reacted as if they had seen a ghost.

Relationship: Family; Rhea cares very deeply about her adopted parents, they raised her as a healthy loving couple and while she fought and argued like any other teenager she cares deeply.

=========================================================

Rhea of Atlantis isnt from Atlantis--that she knows of--, shes actually from San Diego. Rhea was found one night as a baby less then a year old by a childess couple after a torrential thunderstorm deluged the San Diego Area. One moment their porch was empty, and the next a squalling infant lay there in a puddle of water. That they lived near the ocean was of no consequence at that time. The only clue they had was a small pendant of a golden material--Orichalcum-- that had her name engraved on it.

Adopting the infant on the spot they raised her as their own, and only found out that their special daughter was even more special then they realized, when one terrifying day they found her at the bottom of the pool giggling like an infant. Rhea grew up like most normal teenage girls--boy crazy, listneing to music, homework etc--and was a popular friend to everyone even the so called outcasts. Rhea was a caotain of her swim team taking to water like a fish and always feeling most comfortable near water. Surfing or free diving she was drawn to the ocean.

And it was drawn to her as she found out one day when a sailing accident nearly took her family from her. In a panic as she tried to free her parents from the overturned Sailing ship she caused a wave of water to flip the boat back on its keel and upright.

It was after this that Rheas parents explained her mysterious heritage to her. Rhea continued on with her life even taking college courses in Oceanography and Oceanic Zoology which she excelled in. Going to Freedom City on a sabatical she met someone who would change her life.

Siren of the Freedom league.

Minor edit to Rhea forgot she needed immunity to cold, shuffled a reflex save point to cover it.

Added Immunity to pressure and beefed up her Water array with the 3 pp.

Added 2 new APs to her water control.

Added some concentration ranks, slight adjustment to her water form for slithering.

Upped her water control one more notch and added some more skills.
