Undersiders R Us - Worm RP OOC

Dice heavy indeed. :V

It's a good way to simulate random superpower though: the failure chance means that you can't just keep rerolling until you get something good.
Awesome, I'd never made this power work before and the last iteration was a more stable version in a kinder world. This is a great idea already.

I'll allow it, under the condition that I will be the one to get each superpower from the wiki, and tell you what form it takes. Don't expect to get anything too crazy though.
There's goes my hope of rolling into omnipotence embodiment on the first round.
 
@Blackout - I'm thinking of making a Tinker that controls "puppets." Would five be an okay start limit?

I totally blame Bonesaw for being so close to the top of the Tinker listing.
 
How long is this going to be kept open? Like, when will you decide on who's in this new Undersiders.

Also, will it necessarily be called the Undersiders?
 
I really want to make few more Cape Sheets now, since all the old and long settled cape ideas that had fallen to the back of my mind have been dredged up by this. But I've already made four, which might be a bit much.
 
It really depends on the type and nature of the puppets.

Probably nothing bigger or stronger than a horse, and I probably won't be lugging 5 thoroughbreds around Brockton. Maybe 1 or 2 that are pushing the size/power limit.

Edit: I am not knowledgeable of Wormverse beyond a number of fics and quests I'm following on SV.

I think she means what special abilites. Will the have intergrated guns. will they be like the aborable!spiders that bonesaw has. Do they have their own inteligence, or do you control them. Ect, ect, ect
 
@Blackout requesting additions to my equipment;

The Snitch
It is a stealth drone camera, mounted in a golden sphere the size of a tennis ball. Capable of moving like a hummingbird, staying safe, always recording.

Mario's Guantlets
Mario's Gauntlets, capable of working like a flamethrower and throwing Mario's iconic bouncing fireballs

The Ray Gun

A stereotypical raygun. Shoots green-colored plasma projectiles.

M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon
A highly accurate and lethal pistol. The Carnifex is a favored sidearm of Mass Effect players. Using the basis of such technology, Leet managed to replicate the first game nigh-unlimited ammo capacity.

Darth Maul Light Saber
Nigh useless for real combat without risking self mutilation, but it looks awesome, it is great for intimidation, and is a perfect breaching, sabotaging, and field engineering tool.

As for abilities, his minions will mostly have various animal traits mixed together resulting in chimeric abominations. Like a horse with wings, or a dog with integrated guns. Maybe a human zombie might pop up. As a Tinker, he'll be limited by his materials, so unless Best Buy has a sale on laser eyes, nothing too far out there should be appearing.

Concerning intelligence, they're not the sharpest tools in the box when left to their own devices, which is why he needs to directly control them. They can perform simple tasks like kill him, protect me, or fetch that bone; it's complicated tasks that require his supervision. He's actually looking for an AI programmer to improve his "puppets" intelligence.

I'll have to work on this after I get home, but I appreciate any constructive advice.

In that case I'd say that five might be too little, you could double that number easily.

Also, AIs are kind of a big deal in Worm.

FTFY.

@Blackout requesting additions to my equipment;
I'll allow them, but they require maintenance.
 
munchkinomatic - Roulette
Bio may contains offensive detail. Proceed with precaution.
Also, he's an asshole of a character.
Cape Name: Roulette
Civilian Name: Victor Price (born Alex White)

Appearance:
The rainbow dye is more prominent.
Age: 18
Powers: Upon activation, I must roll a d3. On a 1, power failed to activate. Upon successful activation, roll a d6 minus 1; the result will be the amount of power gained, if the result is zero, no power is gained. GM will then use the random button on superpower wiki to draw powers. Dices will then be used to determine each power's magnitude/rating, this will be rolled prior to the powers being drawed in order to save time. After this, roll another d3, on a 1, all powers melt down spectacularly. Upon melt down, roll a d2(coinflip); If the result is 2, the meltdown can be somewhat directed into a straight beam.

Roll a d10 every time Roulette use a power. On a 1, power immediately disappear before it can be used. On a 10, power jumped several magnitude upward, for better or for worse.

Every time I activate a roll, all powers gained are immediately wiped. Whether the activation was successful does not matter.

Costume: White hoodies with some metal sheet padding and faded, padded jeans. Top half of my face is covered by a masquerade mask while the lower half is hidden behind a skull mask.

Equipment
: An expensive look Smith&Watson revolver. I use it when I doesn't want to play the power lottery or just to pretend playing Russian Roulette.

Biography: Do you want to know who I am? I'm, was, and will always be, Victor Price. Hedonist. I do this because I enjoy the thrill, because I like living on the edge. I don't need a Freudian excuses to fuck someone's day over, I just feel like it.

Alex White was just another stupid little piece of shit I know. He was a little dumper than the rest, fucked up a little harder, too. But he doesn't matter, not anymore; He's dead, after all. If you want to know, I can tell you his little sobfest.

Alex White was born awhile back in this little no name shithole . A "community", they'd called it. The place was a fucking cult. They dragged on and on about how the end is comming, about how everyone outside their little pocket of magical make-believe are Satan's spawns and the capes just show it better. Not surprising, of course. All though religious mumbo-jumbo rots the brain, after all. Hell, they're actually kinda cute.

Our little friend, had had a bad lot, I guess. It all probably started when a little late night, broom closet hustle between his mommy and daddy got him conceived. Despite evidence to the contrary, his dear old da didn't have that much cojones. He pinned it all on his little pregnant girlfriend, said it was all her fault, said she was an agent of the big red guy that tempted him into the path of sins

So, Alex's mother was, creatively, labeled a " temptress". They offered her two choices: Get the fuck out, or stayed and be cleansed. She choosed to stay. The kid didn't really know what "the cleasing" is, but he did know that it turned his mum into a crack-addicted shit stain that vaguely resembled a human.

So, as you can tell, he ruined lives just by being born. Isn't he a natural?

His early life was exactly what you would expect happening to children when more than 90% of adults around them are highly religious: it sucked a big load of donkey balls.

There were bullying. What would you expect from children? Kindness? The adults said misery builds character, so he just sucked it. He sucked it all up like the good little obedience bitch he was suspposed to be.

He was actually so good at sucking, the principal of his little mockery of a school called him into his office for a little "private demonstration". The little bitch never raised a single word. Even as the principal's demands grew more and more demanding and...invasive, he simply shut his eyes and do as he was told. The little coward never had the balls to fight back, to struck them all down. He was too scared to ever do anything for himself.

Every night, I could hear him crying, moaning, bitching. I prayed and begged to some unseen cosmic entity to make his life better and yet, not once did I seen him try to do anything, not once did I see Alex White fight back and defend himself. He prayed for changes, but could not change himself.

Then one day, he met this girl, Jennifer Harding or something. She was the sweetest thing he'd seen, with these big, jade eyes that you can lost yourself into and a long head of hair that was like a river of gold in his eyes. They fell in love, planned to run away, to make a new life anywhere but there. I thought he had finally grew a pair, finally tried something new.

Turned out, history got a way of repeating itself, and his father's blood was strong in him indeed. He somehow got sweet, sweet Jennifer knocked up just a little too soon. They needed to act fast before anyone noticed anything. But, he just couldn't do it, he couldn't find the courage the take the last step. When the chip was down, he chose the torment he knew over the world he didn't. He called the others, he repeated the same words his father said to his mother. The only thing different now was that he get to know what the "cleansing" of his little bitch entail.

The priests stripped her bared, strapped her to this "altar" of their, one by one, they took their turn with her, taking her before his eyes. Alex was ordered to join, to be part of the ritual, to prove that he was free of the temptress' influence. He had the gail to refuse, so they strung him up and raked his back with a cat o'nine while they made him watch.

That was when the coward finally broke. He called me, so I came. I took his hand and shown him how its done. I told him to take what his, and he complied. I gave him the power, and he used it well. The following carnage was beautiful, it was a shame that much detail was lost in the euphoric mist of sastifaction and happiness as he dealt his vengance. Still, the cries of terror and plead for mercy was very fresh in my mind.

Alas, it was not meant to last. When the happiness had subsided, Alex discovered that his sweet Jennifer was amongst the slaughtereds, her throat ripped open and claw marks raked across her flesh. Even in death, her face was twisted by utter betrayal. The shit stain decided then to bitch again, he kept on fucking crying for hours, blabbering incoherently about somekind pointless craps like love and regret. Finally, he gave up. He just gave up, grabbed a nearby revolver, and brought it to his head. I finally had enough, so I wrapped my hand around his neck and squeezed until he stopped moving, stopped bitching.

Notoriety: Alex White is wanted for mass murder and is thought to be a changer.

I can't really see why you would roll d6-1 rather than d5.

Also, in order to speed things along you roll for magnitude before I give you the powers.

Internet Famous, a celebrity within the Cape Community for the Uber and Leet show, and his Let's Play series... but he is a laughingstock. Everyone underestimates him for his laidback character in the show and the constant tinkertech failures he produces.​

There we go @Blackout

So I think I need to make the adjustment from shadows to just darkness, shadow seems to ambiguous and clarity is good, it makes me a beast at night, but since I lack range or night vision it still isn't that bad.

I dunno, I always liked the idea that pure darkness is just as bad as light for shadow manipulators.

Granted your power isn't strong enough that I'm going to complain.

Well now I don't want to make the change and lower my odds of getting in.

Do you think I need a buff? I kind of like that my power is just a force multiplier for my Skill

Since I'm excited for this game and really want to RP with @Narcissist.


Would an omake help my chance of getting in? :p
 
I vote for the Undersiders to be renamed to l33t h4X0rz!
After all, the PRT Failures should be livestreamed, right? :p [/jk]

If I thought you needed a buff, I would have said so.

What I meant was that your power isn't so strong that adding something onto it would take it over the edge, like some other PCs. If you're comfortable with it, you're fully capable of rolling as an Undersider. But at the same time, it's not so strong that you couldn't add an extra application or maybe a secondary power to it.

Also something to consider: Grue fails to Trigger, and a new shadow-manipulating cape shows up in the same city. Coincidence? :V

Would an omake help my chance of getting in? :p
Feed me omakes, minions!How do I put this... Yes, I appreciate constructive activity in the thread, I appreciate insightful commentary and discussion, I appreciate omakes and I appreciate people helping each other out so that I don't have to do everything. But, at the same time I don't want people thinking that they have to do it, and more importantly, that people don't think doing so guarantees them a slot.

It is merely one factor among many that I take into account.

I have two I want to do one amusing one serious.

I'll post them after work, give me 4ish hours.

(one involves my new flower buddy :p)

I know its not a guarantee, and with the number of players and some posting multiple characters, I know my odds are ever dwindling.

But I am the Dusk knight and shall not despair!

If I get in Claymore would pretty much play the same role I do whenever I try to play as a villain in a video game. Choose all the evil choices to begin with and then feel incredibly guilty and blue as a good guy from then onwards.
