Zenith Comics Presents: Applications OPEN! 2 Spots

[Volsung]

GREAT!

[AslanC]

I am opening the applications for 2 new players.

Anyone who wants to get in must do the following;

1] Read all the info about the setting you can, here and here.

2] Understand that this is a slow process and one that can grind to a halt from time-to-time. Patience is a virtue to say the least.

3] Be prepared to offer 3 character ideas that fit well in the theme of the campaign.

So let the applications begin.

Oh also apply here, not in PM please.

New Player Character suggestions in preference order:

1. Wizard. I've to reread your background for any magic references. Powers will be varied. The magical guardian of the city to fill Centurion power vacuum.

2. Shapeshifter. Animals, Objects, disguised humans. Old supernatural being that is assuming this role to further several larger, long-term schemes.

3. Power Suit - Dreadnaught. Iron Man clone. Super rich geek to fill Centurion power vacuum.

Please let me know if any of these interest you more. I will elaborate the background and powers to the next level of detail.

cheers

Keep in mind you don't need to make it 40 points if you don't want to. Most of use are 35, and get to start with 5 hero points.

[gryfn]

oh ill trim it to 35 then , good

[gryfn]

i think this fits the scale of the game way better

She's great

Except the Freak disadvantage is not compatible with instant change and normal.
As a 'freak ' you're supposed to be obviously non-human all the time.
(Like the Elemental. Detective Zero already had Public Id I feared it would have been redundant to take freak as well)

[Saker]

Dr. George James Sinclair arrived in Centropolis in 1973 to become an interim professor of history and comparative religions at the prestigious University of Centropolis. The vacancy was created by the death of an old friend who was secretly the mentor of Arcana from the Original Centurions. Dr. Sinclair who was already a professor emeritus of Oxford University and effectively retired at the time replaced his old friend at one of his last requests. Dr. Sinclair continued mentoring Arcana until her departure for her last adventure. Three years ago, the media identified him as a hero when one of the local gangs summoned something from the very depths of hells and the fight became very public. Today, his university courses are the most popular, and his brownstone townhouse receives many requests for magical aid.

Secret: Dr. George James Sinclair is actually Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazier (1854 - 1941) author of the Golden Bough. The celebrity book made him a relative rogue of the secretive wizard's community. He covered his "death" using a shapeshifting spell and the chaos of the war to change his identity to a young Sinclair. He never admits his age, but his official documents average it around 70. While certainly not immortal, his dedicated practice of the magical arts have extended his life expentecy by a couple centuries.

Actually, Bashman implied otherwise. Check out this post and the next two replies below it.

Personally, I'd allow it. But taking it would indicate that you want and expect people to react differently to you, and often in a negative way. I don't think you "have" to take it just because you look different; only if you want that difference to come up as an occasional plot point and problem (otherwise it wouldn't be a disadvantage).

[AslanC]

All I want to know is why does Ion Butterfly (great name btw) have Piloting and Technology skills? Seems her background doesn't really have either.

Freak is fine, cause when she is in Freak mode it may play against her (oh I think yes in the answer )

Wizard is fine as well, in fact that was the one I wanted to see more on.

Still need to know how you see your characters * in the Zenith Universe though, just a bit, no need for an essay

Wizard draft game mechanics
Advantages: Contacts, HQ, Versatile
Disads: Age, Normal, Public ID

I don't think he qualifies as Normal, since he has a whole slew of powers outside the Intense Training category.

I don't think he qualifies as Normal, since he has a whole slew of powers outside the Intense Training category.

Good catch.

The only way it would work was if all his powers were based out of an item... say like a magic amulet or cane or somesuch.
