X-Men: Project Z [Sign-Up Thread]

[Deimos]

edited the characters section.

[Ranga360]

I changed my character profile to add more items.

[Deimos]

okay. changed it.

[Ranga360]

Something I noticed is the lack of a personality section. Is that intentional?

[Musicman247]

Could be. Personalities could be found out through interaction instead of reading about it. Don't know the intentions of the DM, though.

[Ranga360]

I was thinking that too but i thought i may as well ask.

[Deimos]

Yeah, I always preferred to find out other's personalities IC. So that's why I did that.

[Ranga360]

Makes sense, personally I wouldn't do it that way but I can see why you would do it.

[Red Guardian]

Name: Li Xiùyīng Yao
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Appearance: Dark eyes and long black hair, close to the knees. Skinny.
Powers/Mutations: Superhuman speed and stamina, invisibility.
Skills: Expert at many forms of H2H combat, acrobatics and stealth.

Items: Brown leather jacket, yellow t-shirt, brown leather pants with black leather boots. Motorcycle gloves and sunglasses.
History: Li was born in Shanghai, China. Never met her father and her mother died when she was 9.
Li took a life of crime to survive. She went with the wrong crowd to commit small thefts. She found out about her powers when the gang was trying to rob a market.

When the government of China began to make a riot about the mutants she knew it was time to leave. With her invisibility she went inside a small freighter to America. Hoping to get a new life of crime. Unfortunately, things in the US were worse.

[Nova]

Aargh, I really want to join. But I haz busy schedule... But I will have a lot of free time in summer, I will think about it.

[Baloth-Kul]

I hope this isn't too overpowered or too long! Also, I'd like to be recruited rather than start in the squad.

Name: Morgan "Boogeyman" Black
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Appearance: 6'2", slightly muscular build, wavy black hair, dark brown eyes, clean shaven, naturally tan skin tone
Powers/Mutations: Night Vision/Shadowmelding-He can blend in with the shadows, becoming invisible to the naked eye, and can zip around in the shade at astonishing speeds, which is frequently mistaken for teleportation/Nightmare Touch-When making skin to skin contact, he can choose to debilitate someone with horrible, nightmarish visions/Sharklike Teeth-When in the shadows, his teeth grow a half inch longer and become razor sharp. He can regrow lost teeth.
Skills: Stealth, lockpicking, unarmed combat (Krav Maga), parkour
Weaknesses: In the light, he can't Shadowmeld, and his teeth revert back to regular, dull teeth.
Items: Black jeans, dark brown t-shirt, dark brown sneakers, black backpack, burglary tools
History: Morgan grew up in an orphanage in Northern Ontario, Canada. He was bullied frequently as a child, and so, largely kept to himself. At age 10, he had still not been adopted. One night, after he had been terrorized horribly by the other children, he simply disappeared, and several known troublemakers at the orphanage were found crying, feverish, and afraid of the dark. Police investigations turned up nothing, and his missing persons case remains cold to this day. Morgan wandered the world aimlessly on his own, stealing what he needed to survive, and educated himself by listening in to the conversations of others, and breaking in to schools at night to study from various textbooks. He has also trained himself in Krav Maga. He has since left for Europe, partly to see the sights, and partly to find a purpose for his life.

Can't decide wether to join or not.
I'll sleep on it but don't wait for me 'cause my creativity is dead.

You is accepted.

Skills: Stealth, lockpicking, unarmed combat (Krav Maga), parkour
Weaknesses: In the light, he can't Shadowmeld, and his teeth revert to regular, dull teeth, making him just like anyone else, except he can still see well in the dark, can still regrow lost teeth, and can still perform a Nightmare Touch.

You maybe have a little to many powers/abilities. I would say that Night Vision and Shadowmelding, you can keep, then choose one of the others.

Aargh, I really want to join. But I haz busy schedule... But I will have a lot of free time in summer, I will think about it.

It's summer for me right now..This may not start until Thanksgiving time.

Can't decide wether to join or not.

Take your time. We will be a while starting.

[Baloth-Kul]

Edited. Ditched the shark teeth, though I really did like the idea. Makes him seem more like a monster, like a "Boogeyman". Ah well.

[Musicman247]

How do you determine "overpowered"? I thought I saw a character that had super stamina and speed as well as invisibility.

[Deimos]

I'm also looking at skills. If they have a lot of skills and lots of powers, especially if they have nothing to do with each other, then it seems over powered. And can also not make much sense.
For example, if someone had skills like picking locks, hacking, and decrypting and abilities like superhuman strength, superhuman endurance, and superhuman speed.. well they don't go together.

Also if they just have lots of abilities, they can be over powered.

[Musicman247]

Gotcha. Thinking about joining with a severely underpowered character, like someone who can shrink or turn into a liquid.

[The-Shadow-One]

Liquid, I can imagine so much power abuse, sexy time style...
But then my guy produces tendrils.

[Baloth-Kul]

Do mine make sense together? I think they do. Sneaky bugger, trying to survive on his own all those years, can break into places for food/clothes/whatever with lockpicking, shadowy guy jumping from roof to roof, messing around with his parkour skills.

[Deimos]

@Musicman
Wow.. that would be interesting. But I think he/she should have some good skills. After all, it is suppose to follow a group of powerful mutants. Just not over powerful..

@Baloth-Kul
They do, actually they did before. But there were too many.

[The-Shadow-One]

I think I should add a abilty.. but I don't wanna seem over powered.. I imagine my guy with like black "Doc Oct" tentacles on his back..

[Deimos]

What ability would you want to add? I may be able to make it work.

[The-Shadow-One]

up dated, not very clear explaination, it's hard for me.

[Red Guardian]

Don't see anything wrong with my character since the invisibility is only temporary.

[Baloth-Kul]

Edit: I added ten years to Morgan's age and cleaned up his weakness. Made it shorter and simpler, but still the same thing. In the light, he can't Shadowmeld. Short and simple. Versus my sloppily and illogically worded "In the light, he can't Shadowmeld, but he can still see in the dark, and can still use his Nightmare Touch", or whatever. Yeah. Lot cleaner looking now.
