Two things:

1) Nice work frigid. Could you include your guestimates of where the characters fit in on the scale? I'm going to shamelessly steal it for my fic, by the way. Advance giving of credit here.

2) Charon, my character is a super strong, well trained, and experienced hand to hand fighter with good reflexes. Could you ammend "the easily slipped out of his grasp" part to something a little less one sided. If Legacies is calmer, Blackheart will certainly let him go.

Let me track down everyone's "character sheet." As it stands I'm pretty sure no one is above Operational or Sigficent. Even then it would be a low level Operational/Sigificent.

Gravitas could probably credibly be called Operational/Signifigant, but then again, that's why I always have some local goons trailing him to Karaoke bars. ;)

I think Tarot is classified as Cataphoric or Strategic

Gravy is likely on the upper edge of Operational and may be sevre now that I think about it. Argent, Saibot and Blackheart are all Operational with the rest of us in Tactical, at least until Blast is all grown up.

Carnage is wrongly placed under the CIA chart. While he was stronger than Venom, I don't think he has enough power to warrent national level. The only time he ever warrented national attention to the best of my knowledge was during "Maximum Carnage" and the only reason he wasn't easily taken down by Venom and Spidey was because he had so many other villains working with him.

As for the PCs, I'd say none of them reach strategic level of the DoD but Gravitas certainly comes close. Argent, Saibot, Blackheart and Legacies I'd place in operational (Hey, if Spiderman gets operational I don't see why Legacies shouldn't.)

As for the CIA. Gravitas once again tops out the list at high end severe, and when he gets serious I'd place him in low end cataphoric. Argent and Saibot could get to low end severe, but for now I'd say high-end significant for the both of them. Legacies and Blackheart also fit into high-end significant, for both of them though this has to include experience, fighting dirty, and refusal to admit defeat. I'd say Blast right now fits into low end significant though he'll definately easily get into Severe.

Honestly? Spiderman defeats Venom and Carnage. Therefore I rightly or wrongly place him higher on the food chain. I think you got a point however.

Spiderman doesn't try to use his obscenely powerful science brain for all the destructive shit he could if he wanted to. While he isn't Reed Richards or Tony Stark, he is a guy who understands, builds, and repairs advanced technology.

Uh, Nit, I had already decloaked, laid my gun down and had moved to help the knocked out guards. I hadn't posted yet, but I had left the room.

Blast, Saibot? Does either one of you have a communication bud so we can eventually meet up with those about to get their asses beat?

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:41 pm

Why would you want to meet the government goons?

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:02 pm

Well so far you're still outnumbered 2:1

And you all don't know what all they can do.

IRWriter86: Oh well there goes any chance of his ending remotely peacefully.
BraidedShinigami: ...
BraidedShinigami: Alright
BraidedShinigami: two people have lost hands
BraidedShinigami: one has had a gaping chest wound
BraidedShinigami: PEACEFULLY?
BraidedShinigami: with you guys?
BraidedShinigami: does Mirage team even know the MEANING of peacefully?
IRWriter86: No one has died yet. Legacies has been VERY restrained.
IRWriter86: Peaceful means no one dies.

[21:22] agentfisherSDnet: So, gene manipulator means he can heal himself? I should have just made a character that can heal themselves.
[21:22] agentfisherSDnet: I'm too weak to fight any of these guys.
[21:22] BraidedShinigami: heals himself, can manipulate others DNA
[21:22] BraidedShinigami: and most importantly at the moment, meld with others, or meld parts of them to him
[21:23] agentfisherSDnet: You know, I've just come to a realization. I'm a fucking sidekick.
[21:23] BraidedShinigami: lol
[21:23] BraidedShinigami: Blackheart and the invisible lad

Since I mised this discussion earlier, here's my thoughts on Argent's placement.

frigidmagi wrote: Tactical- Able to influence events on a battlefield or smaller level.

Operational- Able to influence events on a theather wide scale.

Argent's abilities to teleport herself and others, as well as control shadows at a distance certainly put her into one or both of these categories.

CIA

Mild- Local threat, countered at local level with difficulty.

Significent- requires access to state government level rescoures to contain and defeat.

Actually, on the CIA's radar, Argent would have been Mild up to this point. She was a cat-burgler, not something that was a high priority. At most she'd have been Significent, due to the fact her crime spree covered multiple states and needed Federal coordination to connect the same gang to the robberies.

Now, her abilities are growing as she is finally using them more, in different ways. Her versatility is her greatest talent, but her empathic talent is both blessing and curse: should she ever learn to truly control it 'crowd control' would have a far scarier definition.

Ya know... Calling Argent would be easier if I'd had my earbud in... So unless Saibot or Blast has theirs, I'm not going to get that message right away.

The burnt, broken, and bounced body is exactly why Gravitas' hasn't been using that power.

ok, so I haven't been able to Introduce Carver to Box.....

but now I get to introduce him to Ring....

And thus the unbeatable plague has been stopped for the moment.

The sad part is that this wasn't even designed as a big powerful point in the story ><

Damnit the reason Legacies made a run for it was to keep that thing AWAY from the powerhouses. You guys just seem all sorts of intent on getting infected.

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:11 pm

One of The Nine down, eight more to go.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:33 am

Go ahead and post. I'm not intending to do anything until the next plot point, just leaving things open for everyone else to do whatever.

Odd that you all have been trying to get to the Freak Legion since December of last year... and it's almost April...

perhaps we should step this game up a bit?

Stuff has been actually happening, like kidnappings and impressments, so its not too bad. Its when the game doesn't move that you need stuff to be pushed forward.

So for Great Ghu's sake, come to work people and moan about your injuries!
