Lycanus

no, I change her whenever I get a respec just for the heck of it...I'd really like to have the majority of her builds available to me still

right now the only builds I have active are the combat medic and the "never running out of endurance" version that has three chance for +ends spread between stamina, quick recovery and physical perfection and has an end/sec of 4.5 - 5 and exists purely to deal with Dark Rings and Sappers.

so right now I have:

fighting/body and medic/(forget which epic if any)

will probably add presence/dark, fighting/presence, fighting/weapon or weapon/presence

but would love to have all four of those available

also, Teleport/presence, Teleport/dark, Teleport/body, presence/body, speed/fighting/dark

I would dearly love to be able to switch her build between each mission without having to spend a respec

the ultimate in recycling for one....


moron --> shark food

well, Blood Rose has been:

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Presence

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Presence/Teleport

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Medicine

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Fighting/Body

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Weapon

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Dark

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Presence/Dark

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Medicine/Weaponry

Dark/Regen/Leaping/Teleport/Dark

and so on

actually, Blood Rose hit 50 before free respecs were coming out and she has used every single respec she has earned since 2004 when she was made as a scrapper in prelaunch, Vet, all three Trials, the granted and so on

I used to go by Garrison in the beta forums, but changed that....I go by Lycanus now because I didn't want any part of my real name plastered everywhere around the boards...one or two here and there and my profile is fine

Lycanus was my old screen name way back when when I started AOL.

I switched to Thrythlind across most of the internet for reasons that I got accidentally locked out of the Lycanus account and am now more well known for that name than the original

Thrythlind is a persona name I used in Amtgard LARP and was based on my Chinese zodiac: Fire Snake and using Norse words Thryth=Majestic, Lind=Snake/Serpent

Thrythlind is now becoming closer to a company name (still need to trademark it) for my books and world-settings.

I've done business as a freelance transcriptionist and writer for 8+ years on Thrythlind@gmail.com and self-published 5 books as "Luke Green" or "Luke "Thrythlind" Green"

the only reason my AIM account is not Thrythlind is because, again, that account's been locked to me for ages.

so, I'm Thrythlind on YIM and gmail, HyperboleMeiosis on AIM and Thrythlind on pretty much every other forum I'm part of except here. I'm also Thrythlind on lulu.

Business sites, where I do banking and such or my account thing here, I use other names which I will not be posting here

generally you're screwing yourself over if you have a plan set that eliminates more than two or three of your primary power set

going petless eliminates about 5 or 6 of your primary power set

still, with whips only available through demon right now...I can understand the appeal...just do like someone said and build two versions using the dual build

this is like I have my KB-heavy solo version of Tender and my just base SS-KB as yet untried team version of Tender

The reason for the in-the-background love interest is because my previous character, a half-Korean daughter of Susano-O ended up the point in a love triangle between a son of Hermes and a daughter of Artemis.

The daughter of Artemis won...then her player had an argument with the GMs and got rudely banned from the chat sight after her character was violently killed such that resurrection was impossible.

I quit in response....so they lost two of their best roleplayers in that instance.

We had just been getting close to Demi-God here

Ten Minute Background

General Concept

1 - Acacia believes that beauty comes from being in harmony with the world, with the community and with one’s self. A mechanic who loves his family and does good, trustworthy work is beautiful while a model who only lives for their own interests is not. She believes that physical beauty is hollow and that true beauty will reverberate from the internal being of a person or action. Beautiful and worthwhile are synonymous in her mind, as are ugly and wasteful.

2 - This is especially apparent in her perception of death. A woman who dies after a long life as a miserly recluse has an ugly death because she never did anything worthwhile with her resources and potential, whereas a firefighter whose life is cut off early in saving a child has had a beautiful death. The quality of the life is not the only aspect she looks at, a man who has spent a lifetime as a criminal and even murderer who dies trying to help someone still had a beautiful death, even if he had not had a good/beautiful life, whereas the hero who dies in fleeing from a problem, or in doing some act that only helps his own image and pride has had an ugly death in contrast to a beautiful life. All in all, it comes down to the choices of the person. Murder is a shameful act, but that shame does not extend to the victim.

3 - Acacia sees herself as a servant of death, but that does not mean she encourages death at all times. Like any in the Celestial Bureaucracy, she believes that all things have their appointed time. One should not fear death, but one should not seek it either. It will come for you when it is time to do so.

4 - In addition to her career as a psychiatrist, she has worked as a parapsychologist at times, though rarely these days. Her mother was a parapsychologist as well, and the family has a good reputation among the field, even if Acacia herself limits her public participation in the field to dealing with patients of hers that are reporting trouble. In fact her actions as a parapsychologist tend to be secretly geared toward keeping enough belief that legend flows from the stories, but not so much that the modern world can’t help but believe. The return to the belief in the Gods had to be handled delicately, or it would aid the Titans and not the Heavens, and belief had to remain on the edges, the realm of faith rather than knowledge, or else humanity would over-define the Gods and other creatures and new limits would be applied.

5 - Her legend is equal parts tall tales and urban legend. At the same time that she is a renowned psychiatrist specializing in dealing with death-issues and a recognized occasional investigator in the field of the paranormal, there are also tales of a woman often dressed in spider-themed dresses who acts as a sort of medium or exorcist.

Goals

1 - She seeks to become the perfect expression of Harmony between life and death. She wants to be the avatar of a beautiful death.

2 - She wants to learn why her mother’s body was stolen after a death by stroke and why her spirit cannot be found.

Secrets

1 - Acacia is arranged to marry a scion of another pantheon as an act of alliance. This is in keeping with actions by the Celestial Bureaucracy in the past as several Chinese gods are also included among the Japanese gods, and the Indian belief in Buddhism, including several Buddhist spirits, is also included in their pantheon at times. I’ll let the ST decide which pantheon her arranged husband comes from. Japanese seems obvious, but Norse and Egyptian might also fit. She knows about the arrangement but has not yet met her husband-to-be. My hope is that she will meet him before either of them realize they are each other’s arranged mate. Paralleling Disney Sleeping Beauty where the Prince and the Girl meet and fall in love on their own. Go ahead and tell me the name and identity of the character so I know which character to play off of, but I’ll play as if she doesn’t know.

2 - Acacia’s mother, Jenny Linn, became frustrated with Yuan Lo’s refusal to show her the other side of existence, in keeping with laws about mortals, and after several years caring for their daughter and trying to find that knowledge on her own, she made a deal with the titans for that knowledge. She is now an undead similar to a vampire or kuang-shih, and while she shares her daughter’s passion for death, she doesn’t any longer share a respect or equal passion for life. Jenny is a DG worthy adversary who probably will act through feelers or minions at first. She believes that death is the natural, proper state of things and would seek to bring all life to death. Acacia does not know about this.

3 - Anything else the ST wants to add without telling the Player about it.

People

1 - Jenny Linn, as described above, is an undead menace.

2 - Jie Bao-Xi was the wife of a regional magistrate during the Three Kingdoms period. Historically that province remained comparatively stable and untouched compared to the other provinces due to the actions of the magistrate in charge. However, it was really Bao-Xi’s intelligence and capability that kept the province in good condition in spite of her husband’s general incompetence. As such, upon death, she was assigned to being a functionary in Yuan Lo’s service. Some small stories of her life have spread and she is due for examination to determine if she should be promoted to lesser immortal in another hundred years or so.

3 - Wei Shi Zhi is a demonic hunting spider who was created from the soul of a human assassin who was sent to kill a past Emperor and “failed” by choosing not to as he respected that Emperor‘s strength and purpose. (Jet Li’s Hero storyline, basically). Sometime after death, he was promoted to demon status and was placed in the Hell of Barbed Netting, Locusts and Leeches as a further guard over the corrupt officials within. More recently he has been given extra duties to see to Acacia Liuzhi’s needs and protection. Wei Shi Zhi appears in his former human shape one 24 hour period out of each month, and loses his demonic abilities at that time (he’s still an experienced aka “Rambo” level soldier).

4 - Min Li is a Chinese immigrant and Acacia’s secretary. She is also Jie Bao-Xi’s prodigy as a servant to the powers of heaven. She has the most contact with Acacia’s supernatural nature.

5 - Hillary Schank is Acacia’s lawyer and has the second most experience with the supernatural truth of her client. She was initially terrified, but has since come to appreciate the legalist and ordered nature of the Celestial Bureaucracy. She’s fully converted to the worship of the Chinese pantheon though she has not yet told her Christian parents.

6 - Julie Parth is Acacia’s pharmacist and fellow medical professional. She believes in ghosts and that Acacia is a medium of some kind. She has seen Jie Bao-Xi and knows she’s a ghost, but she’s only seen Wei Shi Zhi as a man and never as a spider-demon. She has taken to following the combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism held sacred by the Celestial Bureaucracy, modeling Acacia.

7 - Mara Karston is a physical therapist that Acacia keeps in touch with, like Julie she is only mildly aware of Acacia’s supernatural nature and believes her to be a medium or some other type of psychic. Likewise to Julie, her religious activity is model of Acacia.

8 - Nalia Robles is a private investigator who, while lacking paranormal powers, has had a lot of repeat contact with supernatural creatures. (She’s similar to Scott Bakula’s character in Lord of Illusions) She has enough knowledge to keep herself more or less safe when investigating supernatural incidents. She does not have a legend yet.

Memories

1 - Acacia was 14 when her mother died on an investigation in an area whispered to be the location of a vortex of some sort. Acacia has vague memories of whispers and fading vision before her mother fell dead in front of her. The coroners called it a stroke, but then the body vanished the next day and Acacia is sure that someone killed her mother and is holding her spirit hostage. This belief is enhanced by what she now knows of the world.

2 - Acacia’s visitation came ten years after her mother’s death, supposedly by Stroke. Acacia was 24 years old and acting as a parapsychologist, partly to seek her mother’s spirit and hoping to find out why her body was “stolen”. One particular incident she investigated was staged. The client was himself a ghost sent to bring Acacia to a house where she could come through a gate and be officially recognized by Yuan Lo as a worldly servant. Acacia was shown the wonders and terrors of her father’s realm and told that she would be death’s hand in the World, either holding the living back, or pushing them forward as necessary.

3 - Acacia was recently honored for several breakthrough cases that other psychiatrists believed were hopeless. She is believed by her mortal peers to have advanced the occupation and knowledge of the human mind. She feels mildly ashamed as the cases in question involved real ghosts and only getting the patients to accept things, she is quiet about the truth but believes that her divine advantages make her receipt of the honor unfair.

Depends on the character.

Tender Bar is based around the concept of a female version of Shizuo Heiwajima which is basically the same as a moderately less insane version of the Incredible Hulk with no super-science origin. Check the vid and see what I mean.

Castle Rat is based on the idea of speed, accuracy and skill. The concept being a wererat assassin.

Blood Rose could go either way, as well as tank, since she's basically an "undevoured" - she attempted suicide with a proto DE culture about twenty-thirty years ago, the result is her current self. Dark/Regen scrapper and Dark/Dark tank...she's pretty much a progressive, dangerous killing machine (though she's gotten less lethal upon realizing that she's part DE)

if I do Amaterasu's Eclipse (which I almost can't do unless we get a pistol and blade skirmish set in a dominator class) I'd probably do her as a scrapper, skill and precision again

Wyrmling is totally a tank, godzilla-girl for the win, but she could do brute if I wanted

Lady Velia was a scrapper, skill precision, martial arts, she could have been tank, we got that now

Grayskin's attitude doesn't fit brute at all...possibly tank or scrapper, might make a Kin-Melee version. She's a Invuln/SS tank right now...but Kin/Energy might fit her better...depending...(she was in HERO system a desolid-based fast-brick...meaning super strength based on desolidifying stuff around her to make it weigh less until it left her hands...and physical/energy resistances based on being only partially solid)

Soda has to be a brute...despite the fact that she is supposed to be just a GOOD fighter, a big thing about her is the thing that gave her her name: "Soda goes Pop"

If we get interesting enough swords in Titan Weapons, I think I'll try to redo the Little-Girl Big Sword thing again....not sure what concept yet...been trying to satisfactorily do that since I saw the Order of the Ebon Hand card from a magic expansion back when I still played

if I were to pull Lu from my Bystander novel.........well.......despite having high levels of superstrength (reference the earthquake and bridge incident).....she's a pathetic fighter, absolutely pathetic.....I'd probably make her an MC troller or mastermind based on the fact that she has lots of skilled friends and is a highly manipulative speaker

Now, Genevive Robles aka Tlazoltoetl ex-goddess agent for NAMA (North-American Military Alliance) hard to do...goddess fighting style is basically a single-heavy pistol, reinforced for blocking and striking and containing a hidden blade with one free hand for loading and grappling and assorted tricks....Genevive would probably be best as a DB/Devices blaster...though how to represent the fact that her ammo clips are rigged to double as mini-grenades, if they ever do a pistol scrapper...that would be perfect

Couldn't do Runya from the Greenwater books, we don't have the snake-skeleton available to us, and Runya, being a lygiel, is sort of serpent from the waist down.....also...Runya's big thing is SPEARS

Tennel would be an axe scrapper now that it will be possible and Dobrek just HAS to be an Kat/SR Scrapper if I were to play him

Morriga is the Archer to end all archers, though she's only really shown much of potential only once in the books

going to the Zodiacs setting....

Jun/Toshiko - kin or SJ for that juijitsu look....staves if they come out because she's another spear user...despite being a samurai, she would not get the Katana set because well, Zodiacs aren't allowed to use Katana, samurai or commoner....definitely scrapper, her emotional attitude doesn't fit brute

Sigurd - Tank, all the way, doesn't like to hurt people if he can avoid it, big friendly guy, likes a friendly fight, and willing to fight to the death, but doesn't like to

Enkil - scrapper or brute, he has enough anger to represent a brute, but he's also a master martial artist, probably a kin scrapper

Divine Blood setting -

Naiki - going with her end up result as Demoness of Torrent, she'd probably end up a kin brute...she's not one for anger much...but she is one that gets more powerful the longer a fight goes by virtue of her demonic Realm

Eija - Goddess of Blood....would probably end up a corruptor or defender...she tends to end up a combat medic on the side of the allied Demons, Gods and Humans against the various evil groups in the world...if I did her as melee (she's capable)...probably Dark scrapper or stalker because dim mak and stealth are her specialties

Deimosu - Ainur of Lightning....probably a scrapper elec melee, he tends to hit hard and fast and leave...he doesn't do the prolonged fight that Naiki and brutes prefer....despite this his attitude fits more the Brute while Naiki is more the stereotypical swashbuckling scrapper type

Damir - in all honesty...he's a blaster...AR or DB....but if I did him as a melee, probably a DB scrapper, he doesn't go for the prolonged deal either and doesn't have a strong temper

Sanya San, Pillar of Strength of the San Batch....Kin melee....probably either a brute or scrapper...brute would simulate her extreme level of recklessness by the encouragement of fury, but I think the massive amounts of damage she's able to pull off is probably more appropriate to scrapper and criticals



Okay....hmm...let's see, covered characters from my current crop of CoH characters and all three of my published world settings and one of the world settings I'm working on.....


oh...well, one more

Ryoko....if I did her would be good either as a brute or scrapper...the more scared she gets the more focused and dangerous she gets...but she's not really scared of fighting...so for the brute to work, I'd have to imagine that a) she's gotten control of the Kishu and can turn it on and off at will without losing sanity....or b) there's constantly a loved one threatened in close proximity to her....as such, she's most likely a scrapper....

avoiding Japanese, otherwise would have used Gaki

just looked this up and like the Hei Bai Wu Chang

though I split it to the Hei Wu Chang and the Bai Wu Chang....mostly because I know Hei is black and Bai is white and the description on the wiki look up is that they're two organizations of ghost-guards

yeah, I'm stretching it with Guan Di, but was looking more for generic monster type names rather specific character names...the concept being that it's not always the same set of dead spirits

they're not undead

3 right now

low enough that the not-really combat-ish character almost got killed by a medusa and two mortals (oh, and a car crash)

incidentally, I'm experimenting with a system that doesn't use xp

instead, their skills, boons, knacks, attributes and such advance based on stunting

have rules in place for stunting powers you don't have yet for extra expense (2 legend above and beyond) and less functionality (a normally scene-long knack would last 1 tick, for instance)

working pretty well so far

heh, I think that actually might be a real being....hmmm...now have to have a second spelling for it...


Gwan Di


thanks

I rarely if ever re-roll....

I simply create a new version in another slot

Tender Bar will probably get a SJ/Regen version....which will allow me to use KB without losing too much regen

not silly, please....looking for an actual mythological creature, a word for a Chinese ghost other than what I'm already using, which is chiang shih and yama king (though the latter is more of a ruler of the underworld)

hey, when I set up the scenario, I wasn't expecting Caoimhe's player to pull the last-minute alert thing and I definitely wasn't expecting the Kali-spawn to go blasting away with an anti-materiel rifle while walking along the street

I must admit however, he's gotten a kill pretty much every time he's fired it in that form...assuming he takes the extra time to aim...I don't think he's done an off-the-cuff firing yet

Kraken is a predominately Norse sea-monster. Lusca is a bit more recent. Then there's Scylla...
