April 12th, 2009 I got turned into a chick. Don't want to discuss it but... Damn, I make a hot woman. June 9th, 2009 Message for the day: mind-controlling girls don't make good dates. Buying booze underage when teachers are there is bad. Pissing off mind-altering boyfriend is bad. All in all, I'm glad that I'm in less trouble than them, having pushed the mind control angle for all it was worth. Running around near superheroes convinced they're badgers is not a good thing in any case. At least I got to show off my pimp hat of epicness.

From the Journal of Arrowhawk Feb 4th, 2009 Odd things happened tonight. My investigations led to me to a meeting of several superbeings. Joining them, we tried to disrput a ritual, but it went horribly wrong and demons and vampires got involved. Destroying the two vampires personally, a team was formed. I declined to formally join, not wishing to be stupid enough to reveal my identity to people I barely knew. However, I left a number so they could contact me in an emergency. A dossier must be prepared on the following individuals: Avenger Hellbound Dark Star 'Divine' The new Scarab 'Knight' (stupid name, obviously made up on the spot) March 22nd, 2009 Bad things happen, but rarely as bad as this. Today, I saw a news report involving a superpowered woman trashing cars in the middle of town. Biking to the scene, I engaged her in combat, soon to be joined by the Spartan, who I have previously fought alongside. However, soon a man calling himself Captain Knieval and a battlesuited man known as Malice engaged us for their motives. I was defeated, and woke up in a dumpster. With my EMP arrows stolen. That technology, in the hands of one able to build a power armour? Terrifying. I must find a way to recover and stop him. March 23rd, 2009 Better news. Attending a lecture by the esteemed Doktor Archeville, Knieval struck to prove himself in some manly display. He also seems to dislike metahumans. Ineivtably, this led to the Doktor, myself, and Dark Star chasing him down. I shot him down onto the back of a car and apprehended him.

After a few blocks, the police channels started buzzing like hell. <> Geckoman banked the Pitchoo hard and rushed towards the bank. Crapcrapcrap. What if they're supervillains, not some thugs! I'm not competent! But... but... I can't not do it! Gaaaah! The Pitchoo hissed to a stop outside the bank. Odd. There wasn't an unmarked van or car, or anything. He hopped out and just... walked into the main foyer of the bank. "Ok, people, give it up! Superhero here, and there's definitely some cops on the way! I don't wanna hurt you!" He turned to look to see if anyone was even cowering. "They're all in the vault." Geckoman turned to see a girl in a ragged-looking black dress, holding a large sack of bills and holding a pointy metal object. "Well, surely we can t-" he got out before the metal rod expelled a bolt of lightning and hurled him back through the glass onto the street.

July 27th, 2009: Geckoman's post-date patrol leads to a meeting with a supervillain who seems to dislike him... All's Fair in Love and War [iC, Closed]

Chris and Liz sat on a bench looking out over the water, licking on ice creams. Liz leaned her head over to rest on Chris's shoulder. "It really sucks that I have to go soon," she pouted. "Dunno, it means I get rid of you for a few hours," grinned Chris, resting his head on hers. "My shoulder could use the rest." At which point she thumped him in the chest. "You want to mind your mouth, or I'll mind it for you," she growled. "I like the sound of that," he said, leaning in to kiss her. Which was interrupted by a taxi honking behind them. "Crap, that's my ride!" Liz exclaimed, jumping up. "I'll see you tomorrow, dude," she said, pecking him on the cheek and rushing off to the taxi. Chris just sat there. Dammit... she keeps rushing off these past few days. And I suppose I'll need to go rush off to. Stupid bank robberies. He strolled off to an abandoned warehouse he'd stashed the Pitchoo in, clambering in and booting up the systems while he changed. . Geckoman clicked a button and it displayed on the screen of the console controls. Hey, Chris, sorry I've been rushing off the past few days. Just realised I'd been doing it. Hang out all day tomorrow, right? He quickly winged off a reply, and feeling less bummed out, flew out to patrol the city.

I think I posted last of our little band.

Despite having it separately rather than in an array making it even more effective?

Geckoman ripped off his shirt and jeans, revealing his costume underneath as he flicked his hood and goggles up, leaving him stood in his full Geckoman costume. "Go to factory, blow up Nazi technology, go home. We have a plan." He made sure his belt was affixed tightly, and slipped off his shoes to let the thinner-soled 'boots' he wore underneath make contact with the floor. He felt the familiar static charge affix him to the floor. "And how do I just know I'm going to get shot?" he added as an aside to his posturing.

Since we're not in combat, I don't really want to spend the HP on Quick Change, so if I have to... Well, then. Weee!

I'd agree with Doc that Gadgets sounds a lot like what you're looking for.

"Resistance? The wrong ones?" Geckoman quickly did some basis mental maths and came to a conclusion. "Ah, you wanted help from our dimension! I'm guessing someone more powerful, like the Freedom League." Weeee, we're going to die if that's the level of power they needed. "Ok, what did you need so bad that you wrenched me away from a rather delicious pizza?"

Doc seems to have rolled a natural 1 and missed the joke.

Geez3r, AvengerAssembled... what's the difference?

"Ok, so we at least know they're on this world," mused Chris. "Good to know, but we still can't ascertain what state they're in. M-man, you got contact with them through your weird link?" He turned back to Ted. "Ok, since we're here, I suppose you better tell us where 'here' is."

I think it was Avenger who said the first person to say "Captain Thunder-San" gets banned :P

Same as always: it gets examined and approved/disapproved on a case-by-case basis

Chris rolled to his feet, his zappers unfurling around his hands. "What the hell? You ruined my pizza!" He pointed the metal barrel at the man. "Tell us what the hell just happened or I swear I will shoot you and steal your ridiculously nice goggles."

"Ok, obvious questions first: have you talked to her about it?" Chris said, reclining in a chair. "It basically boils down to as simple as that. There's not much you can do otherwise. You both need to sit down and talk about it without trying to throw each other into the sun or something."

"We need to stop doing this. People turn up for free pizza, not to join," said Chris, scarfing a piece of pepperoni. "I mean, who'd turn up somewhere just to eat pizza?" Another slice managed to disappear. "The rest of us come to contribute, dammit!" Third slice down. "I would so come here if we didn't have pizza." Please don't mention the week without the pizza, please don't mention the week without the pizza...

There's a world of difference between a magic item and a large sheet of stab-proof Kevlar. One I can get via Google, one I can get via Google and I won't have been scammed about its effectiveness. But really, I can't be bothered arguing as points are being repeated. I just want a yes/no answer.

I'm assuming this'd be Survival to track, right?

Geckoman stood up on the counter. Ok, time to find Fake Tim Burton. The coward! He hopped off and ignored the drinks vendors. "If you try to pick up more, I'm only going to knock them over," he said absent-mindedly, sniffing the air and moving from left to right. Where's his scent? C'mon, gecko-nose...

Well, I think a Gliding cape is Equipment, especially if we're trying to be Silver Agey (a genre not noted for its realism, but since we seem to try to do both... bleh). But, since I can see why people would think it isn't, I can easily agree with it being a Device. Shield and Deflect in a cape? Well, honest answer: had I bought a shield, which has the same Shield and Deflect abilities, would those two be a concern? Damn skippy they wouldn't.

Avenger told me to sign up.

Through montage!
