Sandman XI Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 @EviscerusNox A villain sprung up out of talk for Spitfire and Vitalus team up thread. Things discussed: - Will be a credible threat first appearance. Jobber afterwards. - Powers were never really decided on. Takes tattoos off people? Empowers himself off of others tattoos? Forces control on inked persons? - Tone of the villain will be a silver interpretation of an iron age villain. He's rude and angry and doesn't like anyone! These are subject to change. If the peanut gallery wants to chime in/get on this, speak up Link to comment
EviscerusNox Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So for powers I think we should look to summon minion and the minions come from the tattoos. I don't think they should all be the same, so Broad would be good to add to it Plus that way we can work in fighting some of our favorite Tattoos we hate to give like: Ziggy Bugs Bunny the zodiac symbols Tribal! Chinese lettering! oh of course we'd have to fight a dragon! Duh! as far as PL goes Credible threat version: Pl14-15 Post threat Jobber: PL9-12? Maybe he has something that amps his power, which is why he's chosen now to make his bid in the world of super villainy Perhaps some sort of ancient tattoo ink that boosts his powers? Or he made some sort of deal with a Power of somekind (I believe there's a FC Villain that does just that sort of thing) Link to comment
Kolohehonu Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Not sure about a source of power, but in Hawaiian myth, weresharks (exactly what it sounds like.) were marked with Tattoos. I have also seen a tattoo based hero (used a different system) that could turn into any creature he had slain. He had to be able to touch his tattoos to use his ability. so maybe this person can take powers/abilities/forms from people and defeated foes. And has gotten their hands on something really powerful. Just ideas! Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks, @Kolohehonu! I know little about Hawaiian myth, so if you wanna consult on that. @EviscerusNox, I'm not too sure about minions. Well, not too many at least. I'd like for Human Tapestry to do well without the minions. So, where do we start this? Wesley has a shop in Riverside. @alderwitch's Renegade has a shop (hey, wanna join in?). It doesn't have to be a shop. could be a convention or a get together. Link to comment
alderwitch Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Sure, I'm up for joining in! A convention makes more sense probably since there are multiple shops involved. Or something similar. Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 About Human Tapestry, should he have a full sheet? Or just a list of stats that matter? About Wesley/Vitalus, Maxie/Spitfire, Ray/Renegade. Would they know each other? Link to comment
EviscerusNox Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I figure spitfire might show up at a convention looking to make connections/get a job since his shop closed down while he was away So for human tapestry maybe he draws different Powers from the tattoos on his skin then. Either a variable array of different arrays depending on the tattoo he accesses I could be persuaded to write up a whole box sheet if needed Link to comment
EviscerusNox Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Of course kolos ideas are great for him as well! Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I figure we could work on the stats together. I like a little bit of both. Wereshark with the ability to power up from tattoos. The minions, if he has any, could be human followers. It takes all of us together to put him down the first time. That said, I don't want this to be a boring slog of a fight. Any ideas on how we could avoid "he swings we swing"? Link to comment
EviscerusNox Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 well if we go wereshark maybe his tattoos give him some water powers as well? Give him an array so he's not just blasting or punching at us, like create object and snare and the like. Make it dynamic so he can have multiple things going at once to give us all troubles. Plus instead of it's just us trying to beat him, say he has some of the bystanders in death traps or something, we have to deal with those while we fight him to save everyone? Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Human Tapestry stats. Shark Totem (made by EternalPhoenix) + Growth 6 + Tattoo Powers X (up to PL14) Afterwards, when he's defeated, he'll probably not have this power or have a quantifiable not so powerful version of it. Storywise, he's either actually a wereshark aware of his divinity and it sparks. Or he was a human who wanted power and somehow got it. Maybe he made a deal with the devil. maybe he went through shady genetics brokers. Either way, he's made his way to the tattoo convention to show off. Feeling slighted (somehow), he goes on a rampage! Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 So, how will the thread go? My suggestion is to start in the thick if the action. HT is attacking. We're there to stop him. As we fight we can recall how this whole thing started from our own point of view. Also banter with HT and each other. Afterwards a meetup of all three. That's my suggestion. @alderwitch, @EviscerusNox, you're good to share what you want Link to comment
EviscerusNox Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 that sounds fine to me who wants to GM this thread? Link to comment
