  1. I'll wait to make postings once everyone is in place.
  2. Okay you land lubbers! Time to deal with the Cyberpirates of the Atlantic Basin! >OOC | >IC
  3. Endeavor Sakurako was a bit curious as to what could be using the school's bandwidth... with Headmaster Summers' prompting she looked into things. What she discovered would be troublesome indeed. Someone had managed to get in through a security flaw in the firewall of the school. Of course Sakurako took the opportunity to see where the bandwidth was being sucked from, and with cross-referencing the sattelites, the trail ended with what at first seemed like a dead-end, but... Sakurako looked up what students were availiable or on campus... Sakurako looked over the list... "Okay, these guys should be just the right set up for this." She said, checking the weather in the spot on the Atlantic where the trail went cold. "Hmm, the water's sorta brisk, I better get permission to requisition any safety equipment the team might need from the sailing club." She said, opening up the steel case where she kept her suit to check her gear. "Didn't think I'd be going back out there so soon. Looks like a superheroine's job is never done." She sighed. "Momma said there'd be days like this." She closed her case and stepped out while formulating a text message with her smart phone. To: Casey, Bloduwedd, Rampart, Samaritain From: Endeavor I'm going to require your assistance. Meet at these coordnates in 10 minutes. She sends coordinates to a small wooden dock that at one time was used by the school for it's sailing club. Sakurako had been wanting to revive it, if she could only get some interested students to join her. But no matter, it was a dream for another time. Something needed sorting out, and she was gonna sort it! She takes off her usual, and starts putting on her suit over a skin-tight blue garment that looked one part swimsuit, one part wicking to draw away sweat as her authorization to get whatever kit she needed from the boathouse came down. She waited in there for the rest of her team.
  4. GM February 28, 2015, 10pm Eastern Time It was quiet at Claremont Academy. The students were either a quiet Saturday night in Freedom City or resting snugly in their dormitories. Some were preparing for their routine "patrols" and others were working out in the simulator room. Headmaster Summers had discovered a strange uptick in bandwidth usage reported from his IT support at the school, and it was beginning to become worrisome. Worrisome as the FBI had sent an agent to investigate a large uptick in illegal downloading and uploading centered on the school. After a thorough investigation of the student activity over the network discovered nothing, not even a scrap of what was reported in the FBI investigation. This was going to not be a easy solution, but the Headmaster had an idea of how to start...
  5. This is the OOC for the nautical hijinks of Cyberpirates of the Atlantic Basin! Please tag to let me know you're ready. With your character's Civilian Name, Heroic Name, and a link to your character sheet, please.
  6. I'll be bringing Sakurako along for the ride after all for this, won't change the adventure much. I'm closing the slots now. We will start tomorrow!
  7. Can I get someone to delete this, Aborting this. Seems some wires were crossed.
  8. It seems Archetech will suddenly get a lot of attention, at least momentarily as the Incursion has happened. Here is a proposal for ALL heroes! A group of SHADOW agents have managed to worm their way into Archetech's lower eschelons, to attempt to steal military secrets from their Aviation Division. One of the employees, a Naomi Baines, is thought to have seen more than she should, and one of the Archetech maintenance workers are forced under duress to sabotage her aircraft. This sets into motion a chain of events leading to the birth of Freedom City's newest superheroine! The Immortal Seahawk! Looking for up to 5 players for this adventure, and Electra's Miss America will be #6. The Full Grown Heroes The non-claremont characters in this may have been called up by Miss A maybe to form a group, maybe to set up some contact info between each other for mutual assistance, I'll leave that up to Electra to set up with other players. They will be front and center though when SHADOW makes it's move. I heard some might be wanting to form a new superteam, this may be the opportunity! Claremonters If there are any Claremont characters here, they are probably at Trainor Airfield on a vocational field trip. They may be on a tour when adventure finds them!
  9. ooh, I'll keep this open for one more... Start date might be this weekend, Gygax willing.
  10. Okay, any more folk interested? I plan on starting this soon. By the 15th at the latest.
  11. Starhawk Power Level: 10/11 (162/165PP) Trade-Offs: 0 Attack / 0 Damage, +3 Defense / -3 Toughness Unspent Power Points: 3 In Brief: Starhawk is a Immortal Archetech test pilot by day, and a hard-hitting superheroine by night! Residence: Freedom City, Riverside Neighborhood Base of Operations: Archetech Aerospoace Research Catchphrase: "Commence Sortie!" Alternate Identity: Identity: Secret - Naomi Baines Birthplace: Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom Occupation: Test Pilot Affiliations: Archetech Family: Da'lith (aka Setsuna, Mother) 134 years old, Derek (Father) Deceased Description: Age: 24 (DoB: 8th January, 1991) Apparent Age: 18 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5'6" Weight: 150 Eyes: Green Hair: Blonde Starhawk would seem like your average young adult, nothing of real note in terms of appearance other than the scar over her left eye and her elf-like ears. A sign of her genetic lineage with the Ga'Hai Power Descriptions: Her primary power is her ability to regenerate from damage at a heightened rate, even from the dead. As well she can concentrate psychic force into her punches and kicks to cause greater damage against an opponent. As a Archetech Test Pilot, she also has access to a highly advanced flight suit, and a prototype flight pack. History: Naomi was a girl who was always fascinated with flying. It was her distraction while living with her aunt after her parents died in a car accident when she was very young. She focused on qualifying to be a military aviator, but due to anti-depressants she was on most of her childhood, she was disqualified from enlistment. So, she did the next best thing. She got a high-grade pilot's licence, then got an advanced parachutist certification, and started being a aerobatic pilot, eventually getting picked for being a racing pilot. She did great, but after one malfunction that caused her to bail out, but not before risking herself to get the plane away from spectators that she got the attention of Archetech's test pilot program. Her educational needs in being prepared to fly military-grade jets were payed for, and she took to her lessens with gusto, eventually getting to fly the best that Archetech had to offer. After some sabotage to her ejection seat and engines by SHADOW agents on a jet she was testing a new high-efficiency engine on, she ended up dead. Or at least that was what should have happened. Instead her life became far, far more complex. She woke up in the water, and cut away from her tangled mess of a parachute that was keeping her stuck to the bay floor like some macabre balloon due to her life preserver. Then she had to figure a way back to shore. All the while wondering how she survived. When she makes it back many interesting incidents happen near the hangars for Archetech's Aviation Division. After the crisis settled, she had time to realize what happened. She discovered she didn't look human anymore. Her once brown hair and blue eyes turned into blonde hair, stark green eyes, and pointed elf-like ears. Later she discovered that she had a heightened healing factor, to the point that even fatal damage wasn't an issue. She has a lot of questions about her past, and strangely enough a familiar face delivers the first bit. Her Mother, days later. She tells her that she is one of a handful left of an Alien race called the Ga'Hai, a honorible and just warrior race that would come to the aid of the downtrodden, lost to the galaxy due to the machinations of the Communion, when in a last ditch, thinking they could stop them caused their homeworld's star to go supernova. Sadly the Ga'Hai lost all of their colonies before hand, and only about 200 single-person escape ships escaped into the depths of the galaxy. Naomi's mother made it to Earth. Setsuna revealed in the car accident she felt such sorrow she slipped away into the night from where the car accident occurred to mourn for her husband. She realized how fragile humans were. The news and how it was delivered was such a shock... sticking to what she knew and re-applying herself as a test pilot, Miss America herself had a proposition... a special flight suit and flight pack was hers if she would fight alongside Freedom City's finest in the cause of justice. To Naomi, this was just a new style of test flight. Personality & Motivation: Naomi is a calm customer, always thinking of her options and measuring her risks. She's motivated by trying to develop her changed identity as Naomi, and loves her duties as the superheroine Starhawk. Powers & Tactics: Naomi loves to get up-close and personal then getting away to set up another strike. In an aircraft she will push an aircraft to it's limits in order to take on any aerial foe. Complications: "I remember what happened last time..." : Starhawk learns from her failures, and that tends to have her overcompensate for past errors of judgement. "The Quick and the Dead": Naomi can get on the horns of a dilemma when dealing with operating a vehicle, she wants to push the envelope, but her reservations about doing something that could get her dead can cause her to miss a step if there's innocents involved, even when speed is of the essence. Secret: Starhawk is Naomi Baines, Test Pilot and employ of the Aeronautics division of Archetech. "Call me Keebler again, I dare you." : Naomi is sensitive about her appearance and glad she hides it as Starhawk.

  12. >I will be offering Seahawk up for vetting now.
  13. "I'll take care of the casualties if necessary, but I wanna look at that machine. Casey, can you play escort? I could use someone watching my back closely." She said, tying her rain poncho around her waist. "But I think we need to talk to those injured people in the basement first." She said, switching her EM Wand to medical mode, while activating it's light function. "Errant, Vonnie, do a sweep of the building then follow in behind us. Of course if a fight breaks out it should be obvious. My electrical discharges are almost as loud as that lightning." Sakurako bravely goes into the basement first, looking about. She sort of felt like The Doctor, exploring some underground alien facility when she crossed the threshold. She looked back for a moment to make sure Casey was behind her before pressing forward to check on the individuals, before checking on that machine...
  14. ok will make my post a little later then. Okay I'm in. Someone has to go in first.
  15. Okay, should I get some rolls out of the way when I'm down there?
  16. Question: Can I access where the people are, and is it dark? I know that thing that flew over us is a big hairy deal, but the people inside may need medical attention, and that machine in there may be of interest.
  17. Time for the count for January. A very slow month for Endeavor, but February might heat up with Seahawk entering play. That and my first GM posts next month will add more to what I'm doing. For threads that have continued from a previous month, the links are to the first post of the new month. ENDEAVOR - Forecasted post count: 1 Vignette and 22 posts! >Vignette: DEADLIEST CATCH >Got this on Anti-Lock (2) >Justice like Lightning (4) >New Addition (4) >Birth Trauma (Completed) (12)
  18. I'm still letting this percolate, but I'm predicting a start date of February 9th. I need time to prep.
  19. From what it looks like we're waiting on the GM.
  20. I thought if I want to see Claremont characters getting some action, I should step up! The story is Sakurako discovers an odd hack that happened to Claremont databases, and she has a IP address, one that points to a location off the coast of Freedom City in the Atlantic Ocean. She'd go, but she's assisting in the digital defence of Claremont's servers, and she needs a couple enterprising Academy students to head out to investigate. So, What I need is up to 5 teenagers with attitudes! Who's game for "Technical Issues"?
  21. Re: Skill Mastery, Concentration is explicitly called out as a skill that cannot be used with Skill Mastery. With that in mind, you have two more skills to choose for that feat. Skills that have SM should have it called out in the Skills section of the sheet. Two Skills? For one the concentration was a error. The Skills should be Pilot, Drive, Stealth, and Notice. I don't think Security Clearance to Archetech is a big enough deal to warrant a use of the Benefit feat, but that can be debated by others. I thought it would be important enough to warrant. I am willing for debate. How do the G-Compensation on the suit and the G-Leggings interact with each other? The first gives Adaptation to what I'm assuming is High Gravity environments, but the other gives outright Immunity to 'high-gee maneuvers' (however that works out in game). It seems like this is an unnecessary overlap. The G-compensation suit allows me to do things like move my arms and what not while making extreme maneuvers (Hence having an environmental adaptation which doesn't provide immunity, but cancels penalties), while the g-leggings prevent me from blacking out due to wild swings of g-forces (Giving me an immunity for extreme G maneuvers)... I'm not sure how that would be quantified in the game system, so I did my best to simulate. Her exotic saves are a good deal higher than they really need to be, but that's not a huge issue. Good! It's where I like 'em! And you should call out what her extra Language is, as well as her native language, in the skills section. Native: English, and Welsh. Will call that out.
