souffle_girl Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Hi! I planned a little adventure to introduce my latest character, Nano Angel. What I'm looking for here is a team of 4-5 heroes with a mix of abilities, including psionic powers and technological knowledge. Synopsis: For the last several months, a mysterious hacker that goes by the name of Cyberskull has been wreaking havoc on the Internet, fooling even the best security systems thanks to his ability coupled with an astonishing amount of raw processing power. AEGIS has been trying to stop him without any success, but they've finally managed to pinpoint Cyberskull's location: a secret compound hidden deep in the Wharton State Forest. Time to assemble a superhero team and get rid of this villain!
Ari Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 CYBR5KL!!! By the way souffle_girl, are you familiar with the Legion hacking group from the setting book? Now that you have somebody with a battlesuit, I think it'd be kind of neat to flip around how many of them can access the internet. Have some wacko with the Legion try and get control of the robot suit through its wireless connection.
souffle_girl Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 I'm not really sure Mechanized's battlesuit shows up on the 'net...
Ari Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It's an opportunity! Opens up all kinds of stories that the suit being self-contained does not. Though it certainly would be a security risk that a self-respecting genius might find not worth it.
EternalPhoenix Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Technical knowledge you say? Terrifica says she can help with that.
Blue Rose Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 When you say "psionic abilities," do you necessarily mean good psionic abilities? 'Cuz Wayward is competing for the title of world's worst functioning psychic. :P
Brown Dynamite Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Foreshadow is Psionic, if we're talking hyper-focused into only precognition. But is otherwise a ninja. And everyone loves a ninja.
souffle_girl Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) TheAbsurdist, considering which characters the others are putting forward this will be a PL10 adventure. You sure you want Errant there? Wayward is very public, and this might make a mess of this adventure. It's an AEGIS staged operation that needs at least a modicum of secrecy. I suppose AEGIS has the power to deny the press the right to film but then the haracter would lose lot of its charm. Elite, on the other hand, might be a good character here. And the psionic ability is a plus, but not completely needed. Edited November 15, 2014 by souffle_girl
Blue Rose Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Eh, I wouldn't quite say she loses her charm. There is more to her than the media hubbub, and doing some semi-legit secret agent stuff could be fun. But she would, admittedly, be a very strange choice for AEGIS to ask, unless they're really desperate for a psychic.Elite isn't really available for this sort of thing until after the event.Kit is actually plausible, as she does have some significant brainomancy on hand, though magic vice psionic in nature, and she does have AEGIS connections. Sort of. If you count being a former supervillain on an AEGIS watchlist as "connections." >.>
TheAbsurdist Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Eh, I don't need Errant there, is fine.
souffle_girl Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Kit looks fine. @TheAbsurdist: will it be Asad then?
souffle_girl Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Um, if you want Asad, certainly! No, you can play whoever you want to play. It was just a suggestion.
souffle_girl Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 OK, I think we have all the people we need. Double checking characters: EternalPhoenix: Terrifica (PL10) Blue Rose: Kit (PL9/10) HG Morrison: Foreshadow (PL10) TheAbsurdist: I'd suggest Asad for PL reasons, plus the current roster could use a heavy hitter.
Blue Rose Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Actually, as she's statted out now, Kit is still PL7. This has never hindered her before, though that's mainly because she almost never uses the direct approach. And when she does, she's handy regardless of PL simply for Teamwork.
