I just try and cater to my character's personality and what's already been said and done IC (meaning I'm not trying to be difficult or trying not to get involved). <br/><br/>I'm hesitant about asking to be in the Savage Land because I'm thinking, since I read an Ares comic, that my character should be someone rather "last resort" to send somewhere. No one ever really got Ares involved in things unless it was something very serious because he just goes overboard every time. The Savage Land does seem like a serious place, but I was thinking unless the Avengers were in any serious danger would he need to be deployed (for rescue perhaps). I kind of envision him to be the guy to cut a tree down to get a cat out of it rather than just get a ladder to climb it and save the cat. Get my drift?<br/><br/>It's just a personality trait that needs to be worked on in-game for character development purposes.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The Savage Land would be perfect for Ares.  It is a lawless land with serious danger at every turn.  Depending on the power levels of the Avengers present, I can scale the danger up or down.<br/><br/>The current crew of Storm, Hanuka (Beast), Gamoran and Logan are relatively soft targets with no energy manipulators.  Storm is the only flyer.  I've been vague about some details to allow others to join in seamlessly.<br/><br/>For example...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> <br/>All the Avengers on the quinjet managed to evacuate and start heading toward the ground.<br/><br/>Soon after landing, Logan managed to sniff out and gather Hanuka and Gamoran.  <br/> <br/><strong>"No sign of Storm.  All our communications ain't workin' well.  Maybe it'll be better in another part of the Savage Land."</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Logan reunited with Hanuka and Gamoran.  The trio have not yet encountered Storm (who may be making a grand entrance if she chooses to).<br/><br/>But there could be other Avengers on the ground ("All the Avengers on the quinjet" allows for other Avengers to have been there besides Logan, Hanuka and Gamoran).<br/><br/>These other Avengers can run around alone in the Savage Land for a bit (and I will set up different encounters for them that would allow their personalities and powers to shine, perhaps giving Ares a chance to chop down a thousand year old tree to help free the imprisoned catpeople).<br/><br/>Storm could find any other Avengers.  Or the other Avengers could stumble upon Logan, Hanuka and Gamoran's situation.  I have lots of plot ideas, but everything is open-ended and will change according to the actions of the characters.  Everything has consequences.<br/><br/>I would much rather have any other characters join in the thread now instead of wait to be called in as reinforcements.  While it may make some sense plot-wise to bring in Ares and others later, I don't think it makes sense from a roleplaying perspective.  If the player is available now, they should get to roleplay now if they want to, doing important stuff like arguing with each other, fighting common enemies, and fucking like rabbits.<br/><br/>I'll probably post something meaty on Savage Land tonight.  But everyone is welcome to join, and if you feel like posting more than once in reaction to other players, that would be great.<br/><br/>
