				A thought came to mind. If the players have taken on their favorite heros. Both powers and identity. Does that mean somwhere in the world the main villain for that hero is either created or made. Like with the series big bad beatleborgs the kids in order to become the beatle borgs had to unleash the main villain into the realworld too.

				Hi all,&nbsp; So how does this work?&nbsp; I'm very new to the forums, are we waiting for the story to begin or is this more of a meetup and private message thing?&nbsp; Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for the actual role-playing?

				I posted this on the original request thread but I haven't had a response yet. Sorry to sound impatient but I'm looking for feedback so I can shoose who to play in this game. So...<br><br><br>When I expressed my interest in this roleplay to our Goddess and GM I put up a list of characters I would be willing to play. What I didn't explect was that she approved all of them, so now I have to pick and choose which one I want to play. What I'm thinking about, rather than powers, is mental makeup and skills to bring to the team - I think it's pretty much a given that we're going to wind up forming into a hero group like the Avengers or Justice League. I've taken a look over the characters currently posted on the Bio thread to see what noteworthy backgrounds and skills they possess, and we have -<br><br>Witchblade: NYPD detective (law enforcement and investigative skills)<br>X-23: cloned combat specialist (stealth, close combat skills)<br>Wiccan: teenage mage (some arcane knowledge, although not sure - what I've seen of Billy's power use seems more like powers than spells)<br>Nightwing: professional vigilante (investigate skills, acrobatics, stealth, combat skills all out the wazoo)<br>Spider-Man: photographer (photography skills, stealth, chemistry and science skills)<br>Ms Marvel: former USAF officer and SHIELD agent (investigative and espionage skills, weapons skills, security procedures, military protocol)<br><br><br>The characters I suggested to Goddess for me to play are Cyclops, Havok, Spartan (combat leader of the WildCATs), and Gambit.<br><br>Using Cyclops as my character would give the team a pretty good leader, tactician and pilot as well as a formidable combatant. On the other hand firepower isn't something our group is likely to be short of.<br><br>In the comics Havok comes across as the relatively ordinary guy personality-wise, even if his powers are impressive (he's been described at least once as 'a man with nuclear bombs for hands'). His main skills are some leadership and diplomatic capabilities, which could be supplied by my character's base personality. So I'm seriously tempted to scratch that possibility.<br><br>Spartan is a biosynthetic android (also known as a 'bisey' - short for BSE or Bio-Synthetic Entity) who was literally built to lead the WildCATs in battle, so if my character 'became' Spartan he'd have a lot of tactical knowledge and leadership, combat skills, piloting skills and (if the GM permits) a tactical database of most known supervillians in his head. One of his powers is to link with most electronic devices or vehicles to operate them more effectively. Plus ElvenGoddess seemed to like the idea of me playing a robot / android character.<br><br>The final option for me to pay is Gambit. While we already have investigative and streetwise skills covered by other members of the group (notably Witchblade and Nightwing, although Spidey and Ms Marvel might be able to help) Remy offers a way of looking at things from the criminal's side of things - 'set a thief to catch a thief' is a perfectly valid approach. He's described as one of the best thieves in the Marvel universe, so his thieving and stealth skills would be through the roof. He's a top-notch acrobat and one hell off a charmer.<br><br>So that's wat each choice can bring to the group. I'd be happy playing any of them, although I think Spartan or Gambit would be more useful for the group, but I'd like to hear other viewpoints.<br><br>Feedback is sought! Let me have it!

				Okay, seeing as most of the action seems to be on this thread I thought I'd post my character bio here rather than on the original thread. Goddess, if you want me to move it to the original thread than I'll do so. Once I get approval I'll also post it t the roster thread<br><br><br><strong>Character Name:</strong> Kevin Grunwald<br><strong>Sex:</strong> 33<br><strong>Age:</strong> Male<br><strong>Occupation Prior to change:</strong> Call Centre Operator<br><strong>Description and/or Pic:</strong> Kevin is about six feet tall with fair skin, curly blond hair and blue eyes. His build is overweight but not obese, his face is round and his fingers are callused from frequent guitar playing. During work hours or when he drops into the Vine after work he wers casual corporate clothing (slacks, black lace-ups and button-up shirts, with a pullover or jacket if the weather dictates), while on weekends and days off he's more likely to wear jeans, sneakers, T-shirts with a geek-humour slogan or an eighties rock band reference, and a baseball cap.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Kevin was born to a middle class family that was relatively normal,even if his parents were somewhat workaholic. While not deliberately ignored by his parents Kevin sort of faded into the social background as the youngest of three brothers, focusing on his school studies and achieving fairly good results. His academic plans were derailed at the age of fourteen when his older brother Joe was paralysed in a car accident. His eldest brother Neal was away at college and his parents were even more busy with work to help cover Joe's medical expenses so Kevin had to fulfil the role of Joe's unofficial carer. His school grades suffered as a result of looking after his paralysed brother, and having to stay at home for most of his time put a severe crimp on what social life he had. With little opportunity to go out for entertainment Kevin wound up relaxing by reading through his brother's comics collections, first getting hooked on the X-Men and Avengers, then expanding his horizons to Daredevil and Thor. Picking up his brother's order from the local comics store gave him the excuse to start buying comics for himself, eventually gathering a fair-sized collection.<br><br>While Kevin graduated successfully from high school his marks were too low to enter college, pushing him into various low-paying jobs. Once he moved out of home most of his money went on living expenses, but there was enough left over to keep expanding his comics collection. Today he works in a call centre earning a decent paycheck answering telephone enquiries, living in an apartment on his own within walking distance of a well-stocked comic shop with friendly staff and patrons. While it's not an ideal life by any means, it's far from the worst that things could be.<br><br><strong>Favorite comic hero or heroine:</strong> Gambit. The Cajun's disregard for rules, footloose casual ways, snappy repartee and luck with women were all factors that appealed to Kevin, mainly because of his lack of those qualities.<br><br><strong>Hero Pic:</strong><br>(http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.moviefone.com/media/2008/02/gambit-(3).jpg)<br><br><br>

				Posted on IC thread, I hope it's up to scratch.<br><br>Undisclosed, sorry to see you leave, but real life comes first.<br><br>Kitten, what do you mean you're not 'feeling' the game? We're only just starting out with the setup work. If real life is getting in the way like with Undisclosed then don't let us get in your way. But if it's just that the game hasn't piqued your interest yet, give it some time. We'veonly just started, after all.

				Goddess, what do you mean by Madras in your Storyteller post where we hear about the earthquake? Isn't that a city in India? If you're talking about the biggest fault line in North America it would be the San Andreas fault, running along the West Coast and nowhere near Memphis - the most likely quake-affected cities there would be Los Angeles, San Diego or San Francisco (maybe Seattle or Tacoma if you want to avoid the obvious cliche cities). If you really want some sort of disaster specifically to rip up Memphis the most likely thing I could think of would be a flood (either a hurricane storm surge from the ocean like Hurricane Katrina, or heavy rain from up-river causing the Mississippi to burst its banks).<br>
