				Hello, all, and welcome to our little corner of E. *smiles warmly* This is for the purposes of the development of a game devised and created by Eranil Morathim and myself, since we do have interest (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=147319.0) in it, from several people, but we need a little help to get things moving along. *chuckles*<br><br>(more to follow...this is just to open a separate OOC thread, away from the interest check thread for other OOC conversation.)<br><br>Eranil can answer most questions about our basic story premise, so far, but we've decided that it would be a good idea for everyone involved to be able to have their say, before we start. Please keep in mind, however, that as GMs, Eranil and I will have the final say. This is not to say that we will god-mod your characters. In fact, we will do our best to allow everyone creative reign over their own characters, and expect that everyone will respect each other's right to play their characters as they see fit.<br><br>We hope everyone will enjoy our story.<br><br>Let the open discussion begin...

				Okay, allow me to fill you all in on some details. We have a rough idea of what we want this story to be.<br><br>First and foremost, No character in this RP will be truly immortal. All will have some way to be harmed. Even Draven, being dead or undead, however you choose to look at it, will be vulnerable in some way, shape, or form. I'm thinking fire (and I'm sure I'll have my ass handed to me by Eranil for that. ;D ) But we don't want it to end up being too overpowered, as awesome as that might be. I, personally, feel it's unfair.<br><br>Next, the story involves a plot to create a race of supermutants, due to something in Sara's genetic makeup, and she is being hunted by the villains, for that reason. Draven is summoned to her aid, and together, they seek the help of the X-Men. That is the underlying theme, and it is still in the planning stages, so we are open to suggestions. Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind. Consider this a brainstorming session.

				I should hand your ass to you on a platter for that bud ;D Eric's vulnerability is going to be the same as in the movie was my thought. Also "summoned" Isn't really the right wording. "saying he's going whether he's allowed or not" is more appropriate. That's a section i'll run the NPC's for since it's going to be early on and simpler for just one person to do. Also we need to come up with a way for Eric to actually join the X-Men, otherwise he'd just do it solo, any fan of the movie would agree i'm sure.<br><br>I forget who posed it, but I like the idea that whatever it is in Sara's genetic makeup is dormant. Even she she possibly doesn't know about it. We'll see what ideas we come up with for how Magento discovers it if anyone has anything.

				I think a lot of it depends on Sara's player, and how "vulnerable" she wants the character to be.&nbsp; If she just wants to be a normal human, then that's fine, but if not, perhaps a certain resistance/immunity to other mutant powers might be possible.&nbsp; After all, a lot of characters have immunities.&nbsp; Relatives are frequently immune to each other's powers, so there is something of a canon possibility for one to be immune.&nbsp; Or maybe her mutant power is just a resistance to mutant energy projection (like Cyclops' blasts, Banshee's screams, etc)

				We'll all have to discuss it with Penny but I think something along those lines is a viable possibility too. It kind of makes me think of the "pristinely ungifted" in the Sword of Truth novels if any of you have read them, we could maybe take it along those lines too.

				well I guess its back to the old drawing board for me when it comes to writing up another OC, I apologize if the first one didn't work out Adammair its just been awhile. I will try to write up a decent OC villain if there is still room.

				I like the plot concept. It's got a defined purpose, and some defined sides. I do think that including Sebastian Shaw might be overkill for the villains. Shaw's power is too flexible and powerful I think for the concept you have presented. Part of the reason I say this is also due to Starlequin's interest in playing an OC that has some form of power absorption. I think that will make up for Shaw's combat dynamic. Exchanging Shaw for Magneto would even the battlefield a bit more, and create more of a fluid dynamic between the good guys and bad guys as they're not out to completely destroy each other. They merely disagree - violently. <br><br>Shaw is more of an "I don't care what happens to anyone as long as I get what I want" type. Where as Magneto has a slightly less destructive goal of world domination in mind. Just my two cents.

				I think you have a point Veluux. I just threw Shaw out because I was trying to think of more villians honestly. We had the idea for Magneto to begin with. I'm not sure if Adam is thinking of having him as a PC or of we'll run him. That something we'll have to figure out I guess. But I see what your saying and I do agree.

				I'm back, and will be on tonight, if anyone has any ideas for players for the remaining characters. I am willing to play Xavier as well as Wolverine, since Professor X will, for the most part, be a minor role, as far as keeping the team together and maintaing peace among them, as best he can. Otherwise, I don't have much news. I sincerely hope this story doesn't fall apart before it begins for lack of interest. I think it's going to be awesome.

				Let me have a look, and see if we have enough players that we can at least get something underway. Maybe that will draw attention to the story. I mean we already have the central characters and a host of villains, as well as a basic outline of a plot, so I think this is just about ready. Let me consult with Eranil, and I will get back to everyone. Thanks for your patience, all.
