Vaalus

Sorry I haven't posted yet, doing so now. I've been feeling a little under the weather the past few days and couldn't bring myself to concentrate enough to write anything.

Ullgir looks to the woman as she approaches him, gliding through the air before being lowered gracefully to the ground beside him. The woman reminds him of the Valkyries in Asgard, kind yet straight forward, and before she fully makes it to the ground he can almost visualize her in Asgardian Armor. Seeing the image in his head he realizes another similarity, and graciously bows slightly. "By Sif's golden hair I greet you. I am Ullgir Wulfsbane, Viking warrior and Champion of the Aesir. Though English is not my first language, I have learned to speak it. I have traveled many lands in my time on this world, but the size of this city rivals that of even Asgard." He looks down at the map, which to him is quite small, and the silver bracelet in his left hand. Looking back at her he addresses her question now that introductions are over. "This land and the people that live in it seem only to like their form of trade. In times before this I was always able to barter with trinkets I had collected over the years. However I have been unable to find a craftsman or tavern of any kind that will accept this as payment." Ullgir holds up the silver bracelet in his left hand, obviously old and holding some sort of runes on it. "I was told by a young lad that there was something called a "Pond Shop" that buys things from people. I was in search of this Pond Shop when I seem to have gotten lost in this City of Glass. If you could be so kind as to help me along my way I would be much appreciative, for I have not eaten in some manner of time and I grow weary."

I like the description for the Norseman. :D

Ullgir walked down the sidewalk his head down and looking at a map in his hand. He could read the words on it, but it was a little hard for him. They were small and they were spelled a little differently than they were in England back in 1820. If he was following the map correctly, somewhere in the direction he was going there was something called a Pawn Shop. He wouldn't even have known to go here had it not been for a nice young man helping an elderly fellow in an alley to remove his shoes. "Uh.... yeah man.... just.... just go get a map over at an Info booth... find a pawn shop on it and go there. They buy... anything that you may have gotten legally.... His other hand was clasped tight around a solid silver Nordic wristband. The wristband was the currency for the Norse long ago, and he had never had trouble before trading one to somebody when he needed something. "Such a strange world this has become..." He thought to himself "...they no longer accept the most beautiful of metals that the Gods so graciously gave us. They now require some form of frail paper... seems to me Loki has had a hand in this..." He had noticed for some time the looks people were giving him. He tried to ignore them as best he could. Try as he might, this would have to change when he heard one of them say they were going to call the police. He had to do something before this got out of hand. He slowed to a stop and looked up, hoping to see at least one kind face.

I really like that idea. :D

Come on in, I'm not entirely sure what's happening, but no reason why not. Was looking forward to the Icarus fight.

Ullgir shakes Colton's hand, bowing his head as he does so. Meeting these two, even if they would part ways, pleased him, as he had met nobody since he had awaken. He was about to speak again as the police rushed out of the building. His eye followed them around the corner, and as a few more passed him he listened carefully to what they were saying. "When I was young, city guards rushing like this was an omen of a great battle to come."

Ullgir looked down the street to where the man had drawn his attention. He look at the obnoxious yellow machine drawing closer. Ullgir realized at this moment just how lazy the world had become. There were reasons for these creations, of course, and he understood this very well. Human civilization had expanded to the point of nearly destroying itself from sheer growth. A city now is the same size as a country when he was born, thus the need for technology was born. This was not what left a horrible taste in his mouth, it was the fact that humans abused these creations. No longer did man walk to get somewhere anymore, or because they wanted to, only if they had to. No longer could you step from your home with your bare feet and feel the grass under your toes, not unless you worked extremely hard for it. "Nay, if the Gods had meant for me to ride on a "cab" then they would have provided one for me. Yet my words leave me before I could catch them, my name is Ullgir Wulfsbane. Being the first souls to speak kind to me in his city of marvels, would you honor me with your names?"

I really like the second lvl 10 slot option. If that came to pass I know for a fact I would be working hard to get there.

I'm pretty stoked about the film coming out soon, the only thing that could have made it better was if Sean Connery was in it.

The statement catches the attention of the Viking, bringing him to a halt. He looks at the two of them from behind his helmet. He means them no ill intent, and attempts to look as friendly as possible, though for a Viking that can be harder than for others. Vikings have gotten a very horrible reputation with how history has portrayed them, and the Nazi's didn't help by using their vile magic to trap a version of Thor inside of an evil minion. "Nay, to take action against two who pose no threat to me nor provoked me would be dishonorable. I walk a different path than those of indiscriminate slaughter, though death in the glory of honorable battle is the greatest of achievements for my people." He looks down at the boy and then back at the man. Each of them seemed out of place to Ullgir. The boy was young, yes, but not that far off from when he had seen his first battle. Back then there was no such thing as a "super hero", at least not as many as there are now. Back then there were just hero's. Some may have had abilities far beyond mortal comprehension, but it did not change the fact that you had to fight for what was right. That desire, the desire to do what is right, seems to be waining some in these days of "motorized vehicles" and "Super Villains". "Nay, you need not fear death by my hands lest you cross me. You ought fear these metallic carriages more than I, as you are more likely to be struck by one of these than the edge of my sword."

I would like to throw the Norseman into the League if at all possible. I've got no problem doing some work to qualify ;)

Ok, so what do we need to do to keep from just walking past each other. :lol:

Thought I'd make the OOC topic. I think I'm supposed to do that...

Currently I only have three in actual book form Core Book Ultimate Power Instant Superheroes In PDF I have almost everything else rated for second edition except for Villainous Archives 3, Worlds of Freedom, Book of Magic, and Freedom's Most Wanted because I ran out of money from Christmas/birthday.

Ullgir walked down the street of the strange city in front of him. The buildings filling the landscape rivaled the height of those in Asgard. The worlds rate of advancement has startled even him over the last 20 years alone. When last he slept in wait he did not expect to wake to motorized vehicles and flying aircraft. These were just the more obvious things he would have to adjust to. The more important change was the massive increase at those with the ability to change the world directly, referring to people with powers or technology. These people worried him, as he was afraid that mortals did not yet possess the responsibility needed to wield them. This opinion changed when the Terminus Invasion happened. He battled alongside heroes and some villains alike, fighting back the invaders where they could. He saw these mortals, who he had spent so long protecting, sacrifice themselves to protect others against a force much more powerful than themselves. Most of them were indeed responsible enough, at least to protect their own. Others, these super powered villains and technologically powered thugs still held his attention strong in this regard. Odin may well have seen in the runes that his champion would be needed here, in this time. Maybe the centuries past were only training, preparation for the present where he would really be tested. All these thoughts rushed through his mind as he walked down the street, paying no heed to the civilians who seemed to be moving away from him. His appearance obviously brought around distrust in the populace of this city. He knew that was to be expected, and had prepared himself for this. He knew that it didn't matter what they thought of him, only that he do what he needed to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. He knew they would want to be away from him, but he expected they would at least do it in a polite manner. Just because he was different than the others didn't mean that they need to make their beeping noises behind them. The road was big enough for the both of them.

I'd be fine with you eventually bringing Icarus in if that's ok with everybody else. By that time we could have gotten some good posts in, hopefully.

If you've seen it, I think Vladimir Kulich, the guy who played Buliwyf in the 13th warrior movie. At least that is who I think would be the perfect actor for Thor.

I'm fine with anything anywhere. I'm pretty much an 8 foot tall Champion of the Norse Gods who is here to show people that the Gods were used and abused by the Nazi's in WWII and given a bad name. He's slightly excessive in his use of force, but whatever we do need not be a combat story unless you want it to. I'm more than happy with roleplay.

I think that's a great idea. Lets try to find a GM and the three of us can get our own game started.

Well I just got accepted and I was wondering if anybody had anything available for me to jump into. I'm not exactly sure what to do to get into any sessions/stories here now that I am able to play.

Ok, First I fixed the combat section, I think I changed it from To After that I changed To I then removed the resurrection as it was a problem, in design anyway (as it isn't needed). I can take care of what I need to that I explained in his backstory and while I play him. I used those points for skills. Before After Lastly, I changed the flaw on both sets of Super Str from duration to fades. Reason for this is that I feel, for strength at least, fades more accurately represents getting tired than the actual tiring flaw does. In real life the more you lift weight the harder it is for you to continue to do so. As the book states I leave it to you to make a reasonable limitation on when I get it back, which also helps to limit it. Alternatively, when I'm using both strength boosters I become weaker twice as fast. Before After I also fixed the final add up.

1) If the defense looks wrong to you Barnum, then it probably is. I get screwed up on the defense all the time and between what you said and the 5/6 days passing even I'm confused now and don't know what I did. I'm going to take it back down to start and figure that part out and fix it. 2) I understand that in this game I don't need to buy resurrection because people don't die unless they want to, which is awesome and I commend your game for that. I have it on my sheet because I have it on concept, as with all of the regeneration. A Norseman believes that when they die in battle they go to one of two places, Odin's hall of Valhalla or Freya's hall of Folkvangr. From there they would sit with each other's company and eat and drink their fill. Each morning they would rise and go out to the fighting circle. All day, every fallen warrior would fight, and if they died they would come back to life in their chosen hall and eat and drink again. That is why I have Resurrection, on concept alone. One of the books explains buying an extra as a partial on only, so as Heridfel said I would get up after 5 min most of the time. If I got drowned I would have to wait a week, unless I was still in the water, at which point I would die again. 3) The sustained duration on the those powers were not meant to be abusive, I pick a flaw that I thought good enough to remove those from him if he was using them, being stunned. I tried to limit it, not bypass it and if you wish for me to change it to something more seriously limiting I will on concept. If you want me to drop the strength on the Armor down to 9 and take the flaw off all together, bringing his super str to 18 I can do that, and the gauntlets too if you want. You say it is cheesy, and it may well be if he doesn't get stunned much, but the Norse gods were known for being strong, and I tried to portray that. There were plenty of other things to make him more effective that I could have chosen. I have no problem even taking a large vulnerability to stun if that makes it better. Basically, I like the board, and I've met a couple people here that I like. I want to play so you tell me what you want me to do here, I'll do it. *edit* reading over it after I post I sound like I'm getting mad or irate. I'm not I just like to be straight to the point, I can understand all of your problems with the character, I just want to work out how to fix them.

Forgot that one was there. I changed it from Immunity Mental Effects to Enhanced Trait Will Save.

The character I had written down was slightly different that what is on here. I have a nasty habbit of changing something in my head as I go and not writing it down, though the math after the fact would still add up. For the Attack bonus, that is what I did but as I changed it from normal attack to that I failed to place the feats in the feats section. In addition I took off a point of defense and put on a point for dodge focus, which I also failed to transfer over to the feats section. I'll switch the death over to drowning. As far as the ESP power goes, it isn't something I use too often or have had anybody use in one of my games so I got in a rush and failed to see the part about vision being 2 points. I'll counter this, if it's ok, with the feedback modifier. Lastly, with the array problem, if this is alright, I could remove the -1 from permanent and then drop the duration from continuous to sustained. If all these are ok, I'll change them. Thanks for the info, didn't know about the no permanent powers in array rule *goes to read up better on arrays* :D
