Kolohehonu Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 So in the spirit of all the hype with the new injustice game: I present an adventure hook. Plot hook: the heroes have been entered into a tournament. A street fighting tournament across the United States. Some have entered for the mysterious prize at the end. Some for the fame that comes with. Some have even been blackmailed into fighting. Some are hoping to eliminate rivals via an "accident" in the ring. Who's running this tournament? What's the prize at the end? Well, I suppose that will be something for our heroes to figure out! So! I'm looking for some characters who are martial artists. It doesn't matter the discipline, as a rule though they should at least be "blackbelt" quality in their style of choice. The other thing I need is why they are in this competition. It might also be interesting to have some characters who are more investigative characters (not to say martial artists can't be this!) who are trying to see who is behind all this. I'm feeling Kid Kamehameha for this. I'd love to have 3-5 PC's as well! If if anyone has any martial arts npcs they think might be a good fit I would be super appreciative!
Amelia Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Mister Strix is a PL9 martial artist (I don't know what sort of PL range you were thinking of), and he's about as "investigative" as it gets. He'd be unlikely to enter the tournament voluntarily, but I could see him getting caught investigating it and being forced to compete, if it's a sinister Enter The Dragon style affair. Alternately, one of the Shambala monks who trained him could get him to enter by calling in a favor (he owes them plenty). As for what could put him on its trail: His archenemy is a human trafficker who helps supply bodies to The Labyrinth for DNAscent experimentation (as well as more mundane slavery). So his usual investigations could naturally put him on the trail of an underground fighting circuit.
EternalPhoenix Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Terrifica is an investigator and a detective first, and a kung fu buttkicker second. Just ask her. She'll tell you.
olopi Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Jann/Bird of Arms is a currently PL7 poly-martial-artist! So he'd be a good fit for the fighty parts, but please prioritize taking anyone with less threads than me!
tv50watcher Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Would love to join, but I don't think Gargoyle counts as a martial artist
Kolohehonu Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 So a couple questions: What names would Jann, Strix, and Terrifica be fighting under?
olopi Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I suppose Jann would just go with Bird of Arms. Creativity isn't exactly his strong suit!
Kolohehonu Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Well the question was if he would be entering as Jann Fa Re or just as Bird of Arms.
EternalPhoenix Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Is there a reason she can't enter as, you know, Terrifica? I mean, she's going to be wearing her Fiber Armor. It has that big orange T on the front of the cowl. But if you want subtlety, there's always going as Qiaolian Song, her Chinese name. And an Equipment paintjob that can fail whenever Mr. GM would like it to.
olopi Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Ah, in that case he'd probably enter as Jann Fa-Re directly!
Kolohehonu Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 She could enter as Terrifica! I just wanted to make sure that was the plan.
Thunder King Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Color me interested, I'd be bringing Crimson Tiger as Crimson Tiger. Don't want Mali Benjawan to be a well known figure in fighting circuits
Kolohehonu Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Ok well I'll get on to finalizing things and will have these threads up soon!
Raveled Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 "And in this corner of our underground fighting ring, we have three actual superheroes. Exits are on your left, folks."
Kolohehonu Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Terrifica: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/9591-supreme-ultimate-competition-thisll-be-terrific/ Crimson Tiger: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/9590-supreme-ultimate-competition-year-of-the-tiger/#comment-251625 Bird of Arms: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/9592-supreme-ultimate-competition-bird-is-the-word-ic/ Mr. Strix: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/9593-supreme-ultimate-competition-the-original-ic/ I will make the OOC's as soon as they are needed!
Amelia Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Mister Strix would be using his vigilante name and keeping his mask on. He tries to guard his secret identity carefully.
Amelia Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks for the individual IC intro, but mine might need some tweaking. The person putting up his invitation probably wouldn't have reason to know it (unless it is one of the Shambala monks calling in a favor), but Mister Strix is blind. He wouldn't notice his name written on anything at a distance. He's a Daredevil knockoff, so the only way he can read text or "see" color on an object is if he's physically touching it.
Kolohehonu Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Ok so I left it tied to an arrow in a wall. I figure that's enough for Mr. Strix to notice and go check the card. Edited March 9, 2017 by Kolohehonu
