Geez3r Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 So a while back I had the idea for a charity boxing match between a bunch of the PC's. This is a different take on that same idea that came up in Chat the other day, so I'd figure I'd throw it up on here to see if we can get the ball rolling on it. This thread is set after the Grue Invasion, at this point in time, the city is pretty wrecked. During the battle or during the clean up, one of the heroes stumbled upon an abandoned Circus Maximus arena. They sent out word to other heroes to come to the arena to spar with one another. Should another invasion happen, they need to be prepared. It would also be good for the other heroes to know their capabilities. This thread occurs away from prying eyes, so even heroes who aren't particularly keen on being in the public eye can show up. Is anyone interested?
Electra Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Sure, count Wander in. She hasn't seriously injured anyone in ages, so she can probably be trusted in a sparring match. Besides, getting some practice with other heroes might help her expand her rather limited repertoire. :D
Nyrath Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I'm interested, probably with Mongrel Angel since she'd relish the chance to cut loose a little.
Gizmo Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 This'd be up Jack's alley; he's more the sparing type, and Midnight's build isn't really ready for PvP action yet.
Dr Archeville Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Both my chars would be interested... but if Wander's there, having Dead Head show up could be a monumentally bad thing. (Unless they'd already met and come to terms during the Invasion....)
Geez3r Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 I'm going to be using Dynamo for this. From a purely mechanical perspective, Altas' build will be significantly different post invasion than it is now. In addition, he'll be focused almost entirely on helping to rebuild the city he helped break.
quotemyname Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I think I'll sign Lukos up for this one. He's more given to violence than my other two characters, and since this one isn't for charity... Maybe this could be some kind of experiment Dr. Archeville wants to run on him as a follow up to their interview. I also am exploring some new options for his powers that I may be submitting as part of this month's updates. So this may be a good chance to give them a test run.
Heritage Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Due to the somewhat traumatic nature of her last bout, Grim may well take a pass on this, but Gossamer would be very interested. I still might have Grim participate if we somehow split it into two or more threads, though, since I don't like the thought of having both my PCs in the same thread.
Starsign Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 While Rycon is at too low a level to participate (even then, she would probably get her butt kicked hard), would it be possible that she could be a spectator?
Cyroa Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I'd be interested. James/Hellion obviously as DS would take a poor view on such needless violence! ;)
Dariusprime Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Fulcrum is in. Training. Networking. Friendship. Aye!
Geez3r Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah spectating is fine. Well seeing Dead Head would be a good way to test Wander's restraint training. ;)
quotemyname Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I'm calling dibs on fighting Avenger right now. This board needs more Vampire Vs. Werewolf action. I don't care that there's a 4 PL difference. I plan on putting up a fight ;)
Geez3r Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Hokay, so, we have the following: Lukos vs Avenger (assuming AA doesn't mind kicking the crap out of one of quote's characters ) Wander Mongrel Angel Jack of All Blades Dead Head / Dr. Archeville Dynamo Gossamer, maybe Grim as well Rycon (spectator) Hellion Fulcrum so 8 other participants. Here's my initial thoughts on who's fighting who: Fulcrum vs Mongrel Angel Gossamer vs JoAB Wander vs Dynamo Hellion vs Dead Head Subject to radical change of course. We could also do team battles, if so inclined.
quotemyname Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Wasn't there talk of Wander vs. Dead Head? You know, to limit the number of casualties to the, well, already dead?
Ecalsneerg Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 If Heritage wants Grim as well, everyone's favourite Geckoman could take part.
Starsign Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Y'know, being the only spectator here wouldn't be any fun, so why not have her enter? I know she would get her butt kicked like Jack of All Blades got his kicked during the demon invasion last year, but I think it would be good (if painful) experience for her.
playah Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I guess it wont hurt to get Carbon in as well. Probably will be squashed in first round anyway.
Geez3r Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Lukos Avenger Wander Mongrel Angel Jack of All Blades Dead Head and/or Dr. Archeville Dynamo Gossamer, maybe Grim as well Rycon Hellion Fulcrum Geckoman Divine Carbon 14 participants, 16 if Doc and Heritage bring in reinforcements. Potential matchups (some of these are redundant): Lukos vs Avenger - Werewolf vs Vampire Dead Head vs Avenger - Undead Battle Wander vs Dead Head - Grudge Match Grim vs Geckoman - The Undercaps Rycon vs Geckoman - Those wacky kids Fulcrum vs Mongrel Angel - Flying Brick Battle Gossamer vs JoAB - Gizmo beats up another one of Heritagae's characters Wander vs Dynamo - Old School vs New School Hellion vs Dead Head - Demon vs Zombie Carbon vs Divine - Brick vs Golden Brick Dynamo vs Divine - For the Lulz Gossamer vs Dr. Archeville - A Battle of Science! Hellion vs JoAB - Battle of the pretty boys Divine vs Wander - Power vs Finesse Fulcrum vs Dynamo - Battle of the Energy Converters I probably missed someone, if so, sorry. I was just writing these down as they came to me.
Dr Archeville Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Lookin' good Will those of us with Inventor or Ritualist be allowed to bring something to the Arena?
Geez3r Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Yes, but you have no idea who your opponent is. You just know you're going to spar with some of the city's other heroes.
