Taylor let the bar slam to the ground after his 15th rep. He had destroyed the previous competitor's score at 11 reps. YEA! he roared, arms in the air. He was ready to celebrate. He had just won yet another Freedom City Power lifting competition. His trainer threw a robe over his shoulders and led him down from the stage. The crowd was going wild. They always love me He said with a smug smile. Taylor disappeared into his private dressing room. Inside was everything he needed. Hot tub and all. This stadium loved him. There were even a few girls that waited for him to finish with his competition and massage his muscles. bathing suits and all. Taylor's smug smile got wider as he closed the door behind them. Ladies? he began, and they cooed at him lovingly. Here he was a god. Here he was trapped. The dressing room was good, but he longed to be back on the rooftops jumping the gaps between roofs created by alleyways. He longed to break another superhuman nose. What he wanted was to be the captain again. But the captain would have to wait. He had to save face as Taylor Rogers, or his super villain shin-dig would never work out. Time to suck it up and get this over with. he thought. Taylor crossed the room, disrobed, and stepped into the hot tub with his female companions. As he sunk beneath the soothing hot water he felt nothing but bemused This ain't so bad he thought.

Of Mutants and Men - Malice and Captain decide what to do about the city's 'mutant problem' while standing atop the cities buildings. (03/09/2009)

This is the OOC thread for both Malice and Captain as they decide what to do about the city's 'mutant problem' atop the cities buildings.

the captain stood atop a roof in center - city freedom. He had been waiting for a while. Ever since he placed that call to Malice. The wind was blowing hard all the way up here. But the captain did not mind. His hair looked good with the windswept look. In fact, his hair always looked good. After a few more moments, the captain began to hear some noises coming from the alleyway behind the building. Oh good. He is right on time. the captain thought. then there was a dull roar, and a few seconds later, The jet-boosters of Malice's armor propelled him above the edge of the rooftop. Glad you could show up, Malice. It's been far too long The captain said with a glowing smile. *SHEEN*

There were more superhero's crawling all over this town than the captain cared to acknowledge...How could he be expected to clean up the city all by himself? It seemed like every time he turned around, there was another god-forsaken-mutant staring him in the face. Jeez! where do these things come from? They are like rabbits! He said as he tossed another unconscious teenager with superpowers into a dumpster. The captain wasn't sure if he was alive or dead. He didn't care either. But there was another one, right there at the end of the alley. And to make matters worse, it looked like the kid had seen him. Tears in his eyes, the Kid suddenly flew at the captain and plowed into him. The blow drove the captain back several feet, but he was still standing, and still holding onto the kid. Glad to see you're so damn affectionate, kid. Makes my job easier. The captain brought his elbow down on the back of the kid's head. A few seconds later, the captain tossed another unconscious body into the dumpster. ****-ing rabbits... he stalked out of the alleyway. I am gonna need help cleaning up this city...Looks like it's time to make a call...

*DING* went the elevator when it arrived at the next floor. Jack's floor. Jack stepped off again, dressed in his button down shirt, tie, slack, and carrying his ever-present briefcase. Jack sighed, resisting the urge to glance at his briefcase. After two months of this he was finally getting better at it. he was finally getting his life back. I love that thing, but damn it all the same. Jack made his way to his cubicle, silent the rest of the way. For once his eyes were drawn towards something other than his briefcase. Jill. She worked in the office with him, and she was beautiful. He didn't dare get involved though, he had to distance himself from other people. or they might find out what he and The Reaver were up to. Work was boring again that day. Nothing happened at all, and jack had to open his briefcase more than a few times just to look at the suit's module just to get him through the day. It would call to him. But the end of the day was rather exciting. Jack was packing up to leave, when he spotted Jill coming over to his cubicle. Damn it, why does she have to be so good looking? And nice too. he thought. Oh crap, she is coming over here.... Hey Jill, what's up. He said seconds later. He was no chump after all. Hey Jack, I have a question for you. She said, in a sweet voice. Okay, go ahead... He looked at her. You want to catch a movie tonight with me? She put on her cutest face. Jack could tell she was not used to being turned down. But still... I can't... I am busy tonight... He said with a longing look at his briefcase. Oh that stinks... Maybe some other time then. Yea...He barely heard her...

done and done. anything else?

He wears those huge safety glasses that are too large for his face. Sweaters and slacks are par for the course with this guy. He has even been known to wear sweater vests when he is feeling dangerous. Jason is everything the embodiment of the nerdy highschool kid. But that lance, oh that lance. When you say the word artifact, what comes to mind? some piece of beautiful metal with a religious purpose? sure. But not this, no. You have never seen anything like this lance. 12 feet long and made of solid steel. The Reginleif shines like the sun, and when it is waved around, it is so sharp it leaves trails through the air where it has cut the wind. Background/History: This nerdy high school kid has a dark secret. Jason has spent years training with his lance that has been passed down through his family for generations. And he is good with it. It has been that way as long as he can remember it too. Ever since he was a kid, he was always beating all of his teachers at their own game – trying to humiliate him. James has a good heart and a good head on his shoulders. He does his best to right all the wrongs that he sees. His family is important to him. They always have been, and he cherishes them greatly to this day. James strives to make sure that he and his family have a safe place to live, and he does so under the guise of the Lancer. He just puts on a couple of fake pieces of armor (because he doesn’t need any real armor, he never gets hit!) a mask (to protect those that he loves he says) and viola. He has a superhero disguise. Jason knows better than to bite off more than he can chew, so he only really strives to protect the area around his home.

hah good one. okay well frankly i am game for all of this. physics sounds good... if the captain is crashing, he is more likely to show up expecting something else, like a captain knievel fan convention or something. but stay cuz he sounds interested in whats going on. im subing this thread so i should keep up on whats going on. ill post more later after you guys decide to agree on something, because to be completely honest, your gonna do most of the talking.

i actually posted a followup for my character on this post under my news thread if you want to read it.

The Reaver stood in the shadows in the alleyway. It was dark out, because the two of them had just succeeded in losing the police. I don't know what you're talking about. Don't get carried away, Reaver. You don't know what else is out there. There is always someone better. No, Reaver, you don't understand. We have to be careful, we have won a few battles, but we are far from winning the war. But ... wait a second, what are you really saying here. This is the first time that you have talked to me about why you came here, and why you are letting me use you. What do you really want? I see. Well, i am glad you picked me. But you've gotta listen when i know what i am talking about. There are others out there that are far more powerful than us. We just have to stay small for now and bide out time. A police cruiser rushed past the alleyway. Just what i was thinking. Jack melted back into the shadows of the alleyway. A few seconds later, jack emerged into the light of the streetlamps. This time dressed in a button down shirt and slacks, and carrying a briefcase. This job I'm holding on to has more uses than i thought it would... And with that, Jack walked back to his apartment.

Your sensors have not been doing me much good in this fight. im waiting for this cloud to clear so i can see for myself. the mask retracted from his face. After a few seconds, the cloud cleared. seeing the green man lying on the ground at his feet gave jack a very satisfying feeling. Now... before i was so rudely inter... Suddenly a large airship zoomed overhead, cutting him off. The Reaver readied himself for another fight, but then he noticed a beeping sound coming from the downed gecko. a red light was flashing on his belt. Right! Jack ran across the street again. Making short work of the chemical plant's guards and employees, he was able to take what he needed. He left the rest of the plant in ruins (at the Reaver Suit's request. He decided to let the suit have some fun). Not even the cops that showed up outside the plant to stop his departure were any match for him. The Reaver made off with a stockpile of chemical supplies.

correction on that, objects can go to -10 toughness, people can go to -5 page 32 of the core book states that ability scores cannot be lowered to below 0, however traits based on abilities (i.e. toughness in this case) can be lowered to a minimum of -5. also, not that it matters, but if you fail a toughness save by 10 you also get a bruised in addition to everything else. (but your as low as you can go right now.) also, you recover one point of tougness, every round as the drain effect fades away. so factoring the additional -5 toughness on your roll you actually fail by 11 points, this puts you as you said at bruised (x2), staggered, stunned, prone. so since nothing really changed, ill go ahead and make my post anyway. if i hit you once more you are out. and your spaceship will show up at the end of the next round as the obscure fades, correct?

The captain delivered a thunderous punch to the man's face, leaving him bloodied and panting on the ground. Then he walked to the door and said Try anything funny and i WILL be back for you. _____________________________________ 30 minutes earlier! The captain waited silently in the man's armchair. He knew who the guy was, he had been watching him for a while. the captain's recent stint with the mechanical terror malice had inspired him. He wanted to get back to hunting meta-humans, he had gone too long and been too lax about it. it was time to get started again. Before long, the captain heard the key in the lock. Why the man was using a key when he was able to simply walk through walls was beyond the captain, but he waited for the man to unlock his door anyway. The lights were off when the man entered his home. He walked past the captain without even noticing him. The captain flipped on the light. The man was startled. That was good, he was already afraid, the captain thought. Rising up from his chair, the captain approached the man. "Who are you?" I am your worst nightmare! - - - a period of pummeling and intimidation followed. The captain got the man to agree never to use his powers again. If he so much as caught the man reaching through a cabinet door for a snack, the captain would end him. Superpowers are wrong the captain said I don't ever want to see you use yours again. "Fine, okay, whatever! i won't do it! just don't hit me again!" The captain delivered a thunderous punch to the man's face, leaving him bloodied and panting on the ground. Then he walked to the door and said Try anything funny and i WILL be back for you. And with that the captain kicked down the man's front door and walked off into the night.

the reaver is out for blood, and looking for some heroes to duel. it can be a straight up fight, or just a scuffle that breaks out after some villainy antics. your choice. let me know if you are interested.

The captain's schedule is looking pretty open. does anyone want to start a thread with him?

Annnnnnnnnnnnd SCENE!

The prevailing scene is like nothing the arena has ever seen. People in the crowd are either cheering or rioting. There is what looks like a wave that begins at the top of the bleachers and then surges down towards the arena. As soon as it hits the dividers between the stands and the arena floor, a multitude of fans comes surging over the edge, pushed over by the surge of people. People are throwing chairs... and there is chaos everywhere. And all of it is being goaded on by Captain Knievel and Malice. This is.... AWESOME! the captain was in his element and he led the crowd in a party like no other. After hours of the crowd surging back and forth, moshing left and right...it was finally time to go. The pair left the way they came in. Once at street level, they went their separate ways. They were happy that they could both have done some good this day. They had rid the criminal underground of some super freaks this day. It was a good day for those hard working criminals. It was a good day.

Seeing the destruction that occured directly in front of him left the captain momentarily stupid... Holy **** Malice...I mean i know i said to take him out... but ... oh whatever....the captain turned to the crowd. YEA! WE RULE! WENDIGO IS DOWNNNNN!!! the captain points at the floor. jumping to the ropes again the captain raised his arms. This is what HAPPENS when you MESS WITH US! The Captain turned to malice, and returned the thumbs up. his grin flashed out *SHEENSHEENSHEEN* Good job buddy.

Metro City Bank - The Reaver decides to try his hand at bank robbing, but Mercy is there to put a stop to him. (3/4/09 early morning or 3/3/09 if it really matters) High Tech Troubles - While raiding a technology company in Hanover, The Reaver is accosted by Geckoman (3/4/09 late afternoon)

What is he doing? It doesn't have to make sense. I just have to take him out. He's doing something, i just don't know what it is. So as long as i take him out quick there should be no problems. Listening hard, Jack tried to tell where the guy in the green spandex had moved to... the cloud was getting smaller, so there wasn't much room for him to move... Was that him? Take this lizard boy! Jack swung his swords at the place where he thought gecko man was. The attack was a wide arc to try and hit as much as possible.

yea that sounds cool. :P
