Lucid just to be safe i think you should put in BS retreating once evryones run away or if shes at 1 health.

Incapicitation means BS wont die but probably get captured if she fails to retreat.
No need for that. Black Swan's a literal blackhole when she's unconscious so there's no way to actually capture her if shebfalls to 0 HP.

Um whens shes unconscions shes just black object without any limbs only Chest and Head. Its how Leizi managed to get her out after getting her powers destroyed the site they used.

Her core is as tough as a black hole. She doesnt become a black hole when tapped out.

They may not be able to kill BS but capture and imprison is possible.
 
But that does remind you of one thing. "I suppose now you'll trust me enough to share your plan for a second Wonderland?"

"Ah, yes, I cannot let you be the only one with earth-shattering revelations today, can I?" Wolong says, "Tell me, Zixuan, what lies between the NID and Corporate Playground?"

You pause and think, "Nothing, except the—Gabriel, you can't be serious!"

He grins at your reaction. "Yes, The Frozen Throne."
That's......well that's certainly one way to keep prisoners from truly escaping.....
Steelheart once famously deployed a high-tech observation drone to attempt to map the interior of Frozen Throne, with the idea that documenting it would prevent it from changing. He deployed his drone from above the Throne where it fell for over 8,000 miles before running out of power.

The diameter of the earth is only 7,917.5 miles. The drone never hit the ground.
OH THAT'S SOME ACTUAL SCP SHIT RIGHT THERE, HOLY FUCK!!!
Name: Millions Minefield, Russel Whitney
Power: Energy Manipulation
Faction: New Dawn
Potency: 1
Ibis' Notes: Millions Minefield was a member of New's Dawn's first-response team for metahuman attacks, Denial, and was something of a one-trick pony. Note to self: create a one-trick pony. Preferably with fangs.
Millions Minefield was usually the first member to respond to a scene. He could redirect and absorb energy that he then could store in orbs and deploy over an area like, well, a minefield. His job was to arrive at a fight and immediately take control of the battlefield while suppressing enemy attacks. The orbs would detonate if physical contact was made with them or Millions Minefield chose to have them explode. He could change the size of the mines, but the force of the blast was in proportion to its relative size. So, often he would hide larger orbs and then deploy smaller, harder to see orbs that could chain react and trigger their larger counterparts.
I'm sorry, but would this plus Dragonsteeth result in CONSTRUCTS THAT EXPLODE ON PHYSICAL CONTACT?!
Name: Eastwood, Charlotte Martin
Power: Emotional Manipulation, Construct Creation
Faction: New Dawn
Potency: 2
Ibis' Notes: Ever have a good day and say to yourself, "Wish I could bottle this feeling?" Well, Dr. Mammoth Ibis has been saying that more often! I'm considering dating again! Wait. Then John Henry, Sandra, myself, and my paramor could double date! Genius!
Anyway, that was essentially Eastwood's power. She was another member of Denial and could "store" an emotion for later in a physical form and then deploy it. She could even mix more "volatile" emotions together and create explosions. She was most commonly used in a non-lethal context, causing enemies to surrender with bombs made of apathy and despair.
...This plus Nox seems like it would be fairly strong. A person who can absorb emotions from others and either empower themselves or create bombs with them.
 
Um whens shes unconscions shes just black object without any limbs only Chest and Head. Its how Leizi managed to get her out after getting her powers destroyed the site they used.

Her core is as tough as a black hole. She doesnt become a black hole when tapped out.

Mona's a heroic gal. Lady Leizi could tell her to pull out of a fight and she won't if it risks us getting caught. I'll trust her judgement for when she wants to retreat and avoid micromanaging what our heroes do beyond the broadstrokes of giving them a goal to accomplish.
 
Fair enough BTW Inknow wulong didnt ask for any ND staff or trusted personal to get ambrosia.

But I wonder if an option to recruit one of their staff to give ambrosia will open up. Its a good step if we really want to merge the orgs peacefully I feel.
 
Including ND members in our missions probably contributes to what they may feel about merging with Justice Unlimited. Just general character interactions and cooperation.

Since we've greatly expanded our library of DNA, I decided to see how well we could make Red Huntress 2.0 without regard for the specific differences of how these builds would manifest their powers. The problem we've had with Red Huntress is that her powers are incredibly synergistic, so ideally, you want all of them to manifest to make sure that the result isn't weaker than the original in their shared niche.

Red Huntress 2.0
  • Potency 6 (Red Huntress) + Potency 3 (Miss Conception) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) + Potency 1 (Mister Hunch)
    • 2x Transformation (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Enhanced Senses (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Fitness (Red Huntress, Soldier X)
    • 2x Invisibility (Red Huntress, Miss Conception)
    • 2x Energy Manipulation (Red Huntress, Miss Conception)
    • 2x Clairvoyance (Red Huntress, Mister Hunch)
    • 1x Enhanced Speed (Red Huntress)
    • 1x Enhanced Strength (Daggermaw)
    • 1x Regeneration (Soldier X)
  • Potency 6 (Red Huntress) + Potency 4 (iSpy) + Potency 1 (Millions Minefield) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw)
    • 2x Transformation (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Enhanced Senses (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Fitness (Red Huntress, Soldier X)
    • 2x Invisibility (Red Huntress, iSpy)
    • 2x Energy Manipulation (Red Huntress, Millions Minefield)
    • 2x Clairvoyance (Red Huntress, iSpy)
    • 1x Enhanced Speed (Red Huntress)
    • 1x Regeneration (Soldier X)
    • 1x Enhanced Strength (Daggermaw)
  • Potency 6 (Red Huntress) + Potency 4 (Outsider) + Potency 1 (Mister Hunch) + Potency 1 (Daggermaw) + Potency 1 (Soldier X)
    • 3x Transformation (Red Huntress, Outsider, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Enhanced Senses (Red Huntress, Daggermaw)
    • 2x Fitness (Red Huntress, Soldier X)
    • 2x Invisibility (Red Huntress, Outsider)
    • 2x Energy Manipulation (Red Huntress, Outsider)
    • 2x Clairvoyance (Red Huntress, Mister Hunch)
    • 1x Enhanced Speed (Red Huntress)
    • 1x Enhanced Strength (Daggermaw)
    • 1x Regeneration (Soldier X)

All in all, the fact that Enhanced Speed is locked behind high Potency DNA Profiles means that it's impossible to recreate Red Huntress completely. We're better off using her as a base for a completely new build with a different specialization from the original instead, like the old Chimera plan.

As an aside Bitterman, are Man o' War's Self-Empowerment and Sewer Rat's Self-Enhancement supposed to be the same keyword or two different keywords?

but not so much REPUTATION
That's why REPUTATION has a whole global action unit devoted to helping your heroes raise that stat. . . or will if you ever recruit a PR manager!
Also I want to ask, are assigned shield generators consumed even if the character is not hit during the mission?
No, only if they're used.
Question, but does Lady Leizi's information network extend to being able to get a live feed of the public security cameras near the restaurant?
It's CCTV. You have to had direct access to the feed—not remote.
I think you mean "lilliputians?"
..... You know any of our heroes have children or relatives?
No. Mon and Maddie are only children. Rhys has no kids nor are any of his relatives in Horizon.
As an aside Bitterman, are Man o' War's Self-Empowerment and Sewer Rat's Self-Enhancement supposed to be the same keyword or two different keywords?
. . .I did too many of these at once. Fixed! They're the same keyword.
 
--[X] Infiltrate Balthazar early and make contact with Hiver. Scout the place, and make sure he acts with us when the ambush is sprung. Also, preferably find a place to hide in the meeting room itself.
In your plan, will Handyman taking the job be included? I think that will be useful in addition to infiltrating on the day of the meet, because that gives time to make a detailed map of the place with the benefit of a civilian cover and not having to avoid sight for the non-restricted areas. In any plan, there will likely be a narrow window to inform Hiver before the attack starts, as he probably doesn't have a reason to be at Balthazar until Four Seasons is there. I still want to do it though.

We don't know the enemies' ambush plan, which makes me nervous about not having a person right next to Lady Leizi. Even if Scarlet Maturity can't hide in there, goons might already be in the building by the time we arrive for the meeting. Handyman could detect that, but he can't exactly stop them if they are already there without getting the meeting called off. So I will want Handyman next to Lady Leizi, disguised as Black Swan. It keeps up our cover, as I doubt Lady Leizi is the type of person to come to a meeting with no escort unless she also had something up her sleeve.

[X] Plan: Clay Swan
-[X] Lady Leizi (Shield Generator)
--[X] She will represent Justice Unlimited during the meeting and fish for information until Été and Jean-Luc either turn hostile, or an ambush is spotted, at which point she will attempt to knock the two out with Handyman, Hiver, and Menagerie Witch's horde before making a run for the Apiary.
-[X] Black Swan
--[X] On overwatch on a vantage point overlooking the restaurant. She will intercept outside enemies headed to Balthazar and reinforce the inside as necessary.
-[X] Menagerie Witch (Shield Generator)
--[X] On overwatch on a vantage point overlooking the restaurant. Her Nevermores are our escape vehicles and her horde will assist as distractions during our ambush and escape. Before hostilities occur, she should have some of her smaller Nevermores serve as lookouts in the streets near Balthazar, ready to alarm her if they spot anything unusual headed our way.
-[X] Handyman (Shield Generator)
--[X] Take the job at Balthazar, map out the place. On the day of the meet, be at Balthazar ahead of time and try to make discreet contact with Hiver to make sure he acts with us when the ambush is sprung. Once Lady Leizi arrives, morph into Black Swan and pretend she just made a stealthy entrance coming to the building to escort Lady Leizi.

Thinking about it, Chatroom might be a vector into creating a telepathic or empathic hero.

Use that, mix in Eastwood or Nix for offensive emotional abilities, throw in Hunch on top to keep strong investigative potential...
 
A few random things:

- Don't be afraid to be overly detailed in plans. A lot of things are going to turn on information you don't have or dice rolls no one can predict. I'll keep the spirit of the plan in mind and your heroes will act in character. If a detail becomes impossible or no longer feasible, I won't punish you for it.

- Foreshadowing as a QM is hard. Folks pick up on minor details you think will float by and not get things you think are major hints. Someone outright guessed something I was trying to keep vague based on the merest description, and there's a huge metaplot with lots of foreshadowing that has gone over everyone's head. Point is, this is hard and I'm doing my best to make sure things don't feel like an asspull.

- So aside from SLAYERS, the other New Dawn members, and Global Justice, I'm out of DNA profiles. Thinking about it, I'll take submissions through DMs if anyone wants to send one in. One per person, no guarantee I'll use it or won't change it a bunch when it shows up.

EDIT: Also, is anyone else not getting the option to leave brainy, the sun, or bright spark in comments anymore?

Corkboard's been finished. I don't have everything (still gotta put down an entry on Apiary) but we've got a good majority of things. Some highlights, for those who don't have the time to re-read everything:

-Clearly some sort of weird shadow manipulator dude. Described as a sack of fetid meat or something like that by the Lady in Blue.
-The… parent(?) to the next voice.
-Really into voyerism (I have a feeling I misspelled that) which is considerably bad considering that our whole thing is being the group with the intel.
-was blasted by Mona, currently MIA.
-Motives and goals completely unknown.
-Probably a relative to the Leviathan in some way.
  • Almost certainly broken as fuck, and likely necessary to deal with certain Leviathan things.
Steps Towards Solving:
Find a high tolerance candidate to use the DNA sample on.
A mysterious woman, who lies Backstage. She runs a bar filled not just with food, but with experiences. Comes in such flavors as "your father's bedtime stories" and "your first kiss". Scrumptious.
Monarch
A petty thief, who was unjustly thrown into Wonderland for her power making it extremely easy for her be an escape artist. Now she's out, and she's slowly starting to organize the Wonderland escapees.
Bitterman has stated OOC that she would have linked the Uni District with the QZ, where the Leviathan is, if we had let the New Dawn mission expire. This would have turned Uni District into goldnine hell. Let's not have that happen, shall we?
May or may not be giving people better powers.
May or may not be connected to Puella Magi questline.
  • The Four Seasons are at the very least, somewhat associated with POWERS/Dominion. Scarlet Maturity's involvement is likely one of the reasons why Hiver's scared for his life. They've invited us to a meeting (which is clearly a trap).
  • NEW ISSUE EDIT: We currently are right about to meet up with the Four Seasons. Here's what we know:
  • Hiver's a good guy. We need to save him.
  • The meeting/trap will be set at Balthazar's a French restaurant. We can get Handyman to sign up for a job beforehand to scout out info.
  • Lady Leizhi will be expected to be in the meeting room. Maddie and Rhys still have not revealed their identities yet, so they're our wild cards.
  • Scarlet Maturity is likely to show up later. However, it's likely that he WILL show up. Be prepared for an altercation with The Strongest.
