Liz Bathory

oh yesssss..... I prefer real metal chains and manacles....

if it weren't 12+ I would love blooded spikes, hanging victims, cages on the ceiling... etc too

I'm a villain for damnations sake!

Aren't there already chains as a wall decoration? I'm sure I've seen them in the arcane section of decorations.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really.. You have the wooden post on ceiling inside the light section. That's about it.., I want chains that could hold people or animals as wall items. As I', already without trapdoors, spikes, human cages... how can Liz do her favorite hobby then..? I currently abuse the power item circlet for it in Roleplay.. or the straw patch inside my dungeon section.

There is one special difference with the patron powers vs. the epic sets of heroes. The Patron powers are different for each AT as they are designed to fill in the blanks... The patron powers you can pick will be those abilities youre AT will be weakest in. Therefore the right choice can be an invaluable power.

- interactive training equipment (targetable/indestructible)
Shooting target, round arrow (wall item)
Shooting target, soldier gun (wall item)

Wooden Dummy (Mook Yung, chinese practice dummy)
Straw man

- Fountain (water colorable)

- Chains (wall item, this should be within 12+ still)

- Pool (water colorable)

- Bath (water colorable)

- Curtains (wall object)

- Lasergrid cage

- Iron bar cage

- Normal bed (one and two-person)

- Candles

- keyboards (servers are now without)

- boxes (audio ssyetm is without)

- Weapon rack without the glass (it should be an armory item)

- more library items

- dinner table

- in-base able to normally (easy way) interact with furniture

- better stairs and more floating platforms to build in layers

- trapdoors (even if it just decorative)

- windows (a variation of the tp beakons but as animated view screens wall mounted)

- fire cauldrons

I sure will think up more in time....

it depends which way you want to go.. Should he have a supernatural power? Or does he use his natural skills..?

Natural will mean almost directly going for either Assault Rifle, Thug Mastermind, Archer, Martial Arts combined with Super Reflexes for instance. Personally I would go for the journalist / ex-sportman / ex-marine / war-journalist and just make him a natural good fighter. That could bring you up on a natural martial arts / super reflexess scrapper. And keep the note emote and camera emote close. Travel powers for a non-powered guy would be harder. Fitness used to up jump and speed can be enough. If not... think of combat jump at least. super reflexes combined with combat jump is a good idea... maybe add leadership as of concept too. and the fighting pool to go for weave later. Still natural and almost unhittable toon. Concealment stealth can be the 4th pool power. Weapon mastery the epic.

If youre into giving him a super power, I think going for something a journalist could get afflicted with would be the smartest move. Radiation is easy to get something off for a war-journalist. Origin would then ecome science. You could also make him natural and at the same time mystica. Origin magic and abilities that reflect an begiining mage. Having learned the use of spells instead of inherit powers. A bit like Constantine of Hellblazer maybe.

Just a few idea's you can work with. Think of an AT you like, then the most fitting powers to with that. But already have a beginning of an biography so you know which way to head.

Welcome back.... Always good to see people return...

Its hard to choose what to play. I usually do not go for ultimate AT or combo... Just for a concept and take the best fitting powers for that.

Characters with purpois and background are in long term often the most fun too play. And that's what its all about.

Personally I build and lead a Gothic Horror themed casual Roleplay VG called the Court of the Blood Countess. The Blood Countess (Bathory Erzsebet, Elizabeth Bathory) can be reached using the in-game mail or private tell.

Makes much more sense now...

Managed Countess crey as an AV on mine. Most of the EBs I did but couldn't take down Synapse or Mynx cause I couldn't make them stand still I guess.

[/ QUOTE ]

Synapse and Mynx are easily the two hardest .. I never had to face either alone. But I guess I wouldnt be able to either. Even tar patch will not hold them because of the slow casting time. Only a full hit of soulstorm or fear would slow those down enough to hit tar and attack with zombs. And hitting an AV is not something you can count upon a lot (even with acc slotted + Tackticks).

How do you do this... heroes and villains are not allowed to trade as I noticed. You cant give enhance or inf to a the goodies, and vice-versa... or is there a way?!

soloed enough E's to know its no prob with my necro/dark...

With the help of one brute and a lot of patience we took out Statesman in Recluse Victory. I noticed I just didnt do enough damage output to take out the ultimate tanker.

But I have to say he had NO chance

one of the reasons (And good concept) I started up a necro/poison mm too. Now if I only got some extra time from all those alts

hmmm.. book cases to high up make an impressive library. Will have to look into that.

Soil for the Blood Countess ((Roleplay))

As this was obviouly removed due to not beong 12+ I placed it on my own forum. Free to enter if youre true to the story..

www.courtofthebloodcountess.tk -> Forum

Namor or Aquaman...

Aquatic characters have some things in common...

- Great strength and durability due to living at great depths (pressure)
- Great speed for same reasons
- Superjump can be included

If you must have water control.. the forcefields are close enough. But the above powers are more then enough to become one I think.

Both Aquaman and Namor have a low level psi-control (over animal life).

Just a suggestion an easier way to have people understand the power level system would be to have them ranked by class of metahuman. Such as...

1- Below Average ( A chav's fighting skills are below average)
2- average
3- Above average ( Tim Drake as Robin has above average Martial Arts skills)
4- Olympic level ( Green Arrow has olympic level archer skills)
5- Peak human level ( Captian america is the peak of human development)
6- Enhanced Human (Spider-man has enhanced human strength in the ten ton range)
7- Super Human ( Wolverine can regenerate at superhuman levels)
8- Legendary ( Professor X's mental powers are legendary)
9- Monstrous ( The Hulks strength and durability is monstrous)
10- Demi god, Godly ( Zeus is godly)

[/ QUOTE ]

This is much easier for it yes. Also... we should have a different table like this for blast power etc.

Well.. I only start with the roleplay actually.. and never wrote any stories. So I just make this up as I go.

The Council of X is nearly done.. I add screen looks of all NPC's on it by making dummy characters on the french server and taking the shots.. Lots of work.. but cool to have.

Not too soon.. cause Liz is going to the next council meeting in India for two weeks... (now you know where the urgency of this council came from) ... hehehe...

I 'almost' finished a new npc group of the vampire elders.. calling themselves the Council of X.

The Donation page is a holdover from MediaWiki software. I have no clue how one would go about removing that, and I don't really want to tamper with it. RE: Dead links. Dead links are fine for the moment. Those little red blocks of text are a PAINFUL reminder for someone to link their character in or what not. Filling them in just for the sake of them not being dead seems a little, eh, and harder to then pinpoint what needs to be done.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lets leave it then and work around it. You can add there that it's totally free for people to donate their idea's (link here or talkpage) or to donate their profiles...

That way the link will be active and has nothing to do with money.

hmm.. what is the idea on the donation page. As there is no money involved. And there are so many of us working on it?

Its still empty too...

For layout of the front page the articles...

In the news this Month
Community Plot Event

Should really be filled asap. So the final layout is read. The news page can be done rather easily by using it as latest news on th ewiki itself. What to do and what is being done at the moment.

I suggest Pius his banner question there with dead line.

The writers of stories can give the other one a go.

Just remove these dead links from the front page.

Regarding Liz's tips on how to create vampire/zombie characters, it might be also an idea for her to write a short guide about it and have it placed into vampire/zombie (resp.) category, then you could go more into depth and no one would be confusing the tips into rules.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good idea.. I might make a hint page for the help section on this...

I think we should hold the lycantrope affliction as a different category because the origin of those powers are to different from most other animal shapeshifters...

Maybe have several categories and use Therianthrope for the ones left?

Removed my opions in those categories.. I admit to be out of line there. But that's what the discussion pages are for.

btw... raising up discussions isn't a crime. A good discussion will only make the wiki better.

The american site uses the term Lycantrope as category but that only points to werewolves.

If you do'n't like my additions that are too much like opinions. Feel free to change it. The main part is the lines from wikipedia. I may have carried away on there being at work and only of half a mind at the time.

On the grammar etc. I never said I was good at spelling... english is not my language. And I 'haven't changed a word of spelling yet. Even though I found lots of 'i' instead of 'I', 'hetrosexual' or 'hetorosexual' etc. If someone who is really good at spelling would like to come forward and change that please do so.

I will wait this out for now. Made up a banner though.
