You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You awaken to… nothing, much. Soon enough the nothing gains definition and texture, weaving away into the tiled ceiling of the subway platform currently serving as your home-away-from-home (away from home, which burned down a long time ago).

You grunt slightly and shift uncomfortably. As the distribution of mattresses is rather meagre, you elected to be without tonight, and now you’re paying for it. You blink away a wad of sleep and peer through the half-dark of the station. Your eyes eventually come to rest on Gaby’s small, huddled silhouette, and you are drawn back into the conversation you two had yesterday afternoon, just before you left to rat your face off to the Bugle about all of Creeper’s ridiculous bullshit. The fuzzy, creaking image of your father emerges from the gloom, half-realized and quaking with fits of anti-recollection, and, like a puzzle, you try to fit him together with the weird, unrecognizable shards of him that seem to exist in Gaby’s memory.

The shadow seethes and falls into dusty tatters, reclining away from reality, back into memory, back into total dark. You can’t do it.

Yawning, you check the time. 9:51, AM. You guess that without the monotonous spectre of work hanging over you, you don’t have much reason not to oversleep.

You’re meeting the Hellions at 1. Three hours, geagh.

You dredge yourself up, rolling your shoulders in the vain expectation that it should somehow ease off some of the aftereffects of floorsleeping. You amble over to the stove, tentatively lighting it (this really takes a lot longer than it should) and grabbing some bits of liver from your gradually thinning food stocks.

As the water boils, you glance around for signs of life, and notice that both Laura and Layla’s blankets are unoccupied. You sniff the air, and catch both their scents trailing down from further up the stairs, toward the light.

You wait a while, adding spices as necessary, and have yourself a nice repetitive pile of chicken livers. Yum yum.

>[X] Go upstairs, check on the two up there.

Forking out another two portions (note to self: running out of paper plates), you ascend the long, dark stairway up toward the surface. You find the two missing girls sitting together on one of the broad steps – or, rather, you find Laura sitting, her knees tucked in close to her chest and her gaze fixed on some point outside. Layla is really more slumped. Her eyes are shut tight and her chest rises and falls in slow obliviousness, her lips broken by the occasional snore. She’s asleep.

“Hey.” You sit down on the step below, placing their plates down. “Breakfast is served.”

Laura doesn’t move. She’s quiet for a short while, before muttering a small, distant “Thank you.”

“You… you been awake along?” You ask.

“I did not sleep.” Is the reply, again at length.

Not sure if he'll do the expose that quickly. He still has to redact, confirm some stuff, crossreference articles and notes, and his editor still has to go over it.

>[X] “Better eat up. It won’t be warm for long.”
>[X] “Why’s Layla up here?”

“Better eat up. It won’t be warm for long.” You say, kinda hoping to coax out a bit more of a response.

She slowly turns, and stares down at the plate, regarding it as one might a known illusion, or a wisp of shadow. Eventually, she plucks a piece up – a still piping hot piece – with her bare fingers, and transfers it to her mouth. That must really hurt, but she doesn’t so much as blink. You think you probably flinch more profusely than she does.

“So, uh…” You cast around for something. You gaze settles upon Layla’s sleeping form. “Why’s Layla up here?”

“She woke up early, and decided to talk.” Responds Laura, pausing between bites. “She asked questions, but eventually she fell back to sleep.”

“…What questions?”

Laura glances over at Layla momentarily, before quickly turning her attention back to the food.

“How many people I have killed.” Alright. Morbid. “How they were killed. How it felt.”

Hmm.

She plucks up another steaming shred of chicken. You cringe a little again.

I still say our best bet of incapacitating Kimura is either our taser hands or Noriko. Electricity does direct damage to organs and can cause seizures or neuropathy.

Basically: we kind of hope she goes that route, because at least then well have back up for taking down that sociopath.

But you may remember when HE was doing that.

Need to ask sooner or later.

Best way is obviously running around like a jackass distracting her, going invisible, heading into the next room, grabbing Noriko, then shocking her to death while laughing like Palpatine.

Like the Hulk's "go be invincible in Jersey."

I like it. Provided that she doesn't punch a hole through us as soon as we grab her.
>>
>>29560688
We could even hold her using a Full Nelson while Noriko fries her brain. We'll survive that, she won't.
Wear a rubber raincoat if you're pussy, I guess.
>>
>>29560712
Interesting parallel to the Neamon Lion mith... Think strangulation with a huge chain would work?
>>
I think we're agreed that grabbing with zappy hands is the way to go with Kimura.
>>
>>29560740
Dude, we have sticky hands and super strength, grapple her and cover her mouth and nose.
>>
>>29560769
Not necessarily, she could make her self too dense for it to work, her real weakness is our claws level 3/4(the one that lets us shoot wolverine tier hard claws)
>>
>>29560770
If we tried that we would end up losing a limb or at least allot of fingers.. A chain is good, and is able to channel our electricity through it. The less we have to physically touch this woman the higher our chances of survival.
>>
>>29560769
>Not using Noriko to power a scrap-built railgun to create massive holes in Kimura
COME ON DUDE
>>
Kimura can phase, so single contact points won't work except quick hits from stealth.
But she can't density adjust her whole body at once.
Get something large and durable.
Hit her full on with it.
Repeat until pancake or object trashed. Full strength head crush from stealth or stun would work.
JJ smash.
>>
>>29560835
Her rip and tear mode is based on her strength isn't it? our strength>her's.

Also, she'd just phase through the chain.
>>
>All these people talking about taser hand
>none of them know that we need noriko to do real damage since our hands would do shit to her.
Also for people who are for grappling or restraining her up, they seem to forget that she has level 1 phasing.
>>
>[X] “Did she ask you anything else?”
>[X] “Did she say why she was asking?”
>[X] “Do you not feel pain? Is that part of your mutation?”

“…Did she ask you anything else?” You venture, not entirely sure that you want to know the answer.

Laura is quiet for a moment, just eating in silence. Eventually, she pauses, and speaks up:

“She asked me if I had ever been so hurt, I was essentially dead.” She picks up another piece. You’re getting used to it, but it still makes you frown a little. “She wanted to know how that felt.”

“Right…” You feel your very slight frown contort more toward a grimace. Right. “She say why she was asking?”

She shakes her head slowly. You try to forget about it, at least for now, and move things on.

“Say, um…” You motion to her hand, still holding aloft a shred of chicken. “Do you not feel pain? Is that part of your mutation?”

For the first time this morning, Laura looks straight at you, her eyes finally fixing on something in the here and now. She glances down at the scrap of poultry grasped between her fingers and her gaze seems to focus slightly, twinkling with sudden understanding.

“No.” She explains, her tone flat. “Pain tolerance was part of my training.”

>[X] Paper.
>[X] Wake Layla.

“…I see.” Is your only response. What else is there to say? You very obviously do not want to know more, and, in all likelihood, Laura doesn’t want to tell.

Very gently, you nudge Layla’s shoulder, stirring her from her slumber. She snorts a little and coils up tighter, as if trying to vanish from the universe, into sleep deep and pure, but eventually her eyes flutter open and she glances dimly at you and Laura.

“Come on. Get up. Time to be awake.”

She mumbles mostly incoherently, ending with the assertion that “'stoocold.”

“It’s warmer inside.” You counter, and just scoop her up, taking her back down into the relative warmth of the station. You set her down on her blanket and decide that she’s awake enough – she’ll get up eventually. If it’s later rather than sooner, then she’ll have to warm up that chicken herself.

You head back up and tell Laura you’re off to pick up a paper. You want to see the damage. She nods and states that she’ll remain there for now.

Driving out into the cold, you note the new layer of snow and move on, heading into the nearest populated stretch of the city. You avoid anywhere near your old paper spot, giving the Bugle and its surrounding territories, instead making your way to a subway exit you remember seeing the paper being peddled at once or twice before. The crowds are thick, but you make good time, your nose guiding you through the less populated streets.

Just under an hour after you set out, you come upon the station. The flood of commuters you’ve become so well acquainted with have long dispersed, and the shaggy mess of a guy handing out papers is too eager to get them off his hands to possibly notice anything off about you. You grab the issue and vanish into one of the adjoining alleys.

So what are some essential powers/upgrades should we get?
>>29561513
He has level 1 healing if my memory is right.
>>
>>29561546
The berserk skill and a tail
and everything thats required for those of course
>>
>>29561546
Electro Touch lvl 2 gives us a chance at killing Kimura
Enhanced Sense lvl 5 is bullshit Spideysense, unless they change that
>>
>>29561546
in the comics he's regrown fingers, so I think his is a bit better than one, maybe even at 3
>>
>>29561546
What were the reveled new powers?
>>
>>29561546

Enhanced Agility 2

Enhanced Senses 5

>>29561587

We don't need those.
>>
>>29561587
I prefer for us to go after the main powers first.
>>29561597
that sounds good to me, but maybe add claw & fangs(the new versions contain Kimi's weakness), and agility for being able to escape easily.
>>
>>29561546
Probably. If he didn't have some kind of healing he should really be dead a couple times over.
Even so it really doesnt add up.

Anyway, you probably see where im going with it. the tongue really seems more like a vulnerability then asset, and pretty much anything you could do with it you could also do with the tail, cept taser, and we already have two hands for that. If we could get fangs and channel it that way would be cooler.

Also it just seems kind of unsanitary.
>>
>>29561513
We have decent healing - and the tail is an extension of our spine.
Tongue gets ripped out, we bleed and maybe grow it back. Spine gets ripped out, we die.

>>29561546
Healing 3 for a start. Then agility, and start working towards whiteout.
But... lets table it for now, see how things go. Maybe by the time we have the option to buy, our priorities will have changed.

I might be getting the name wrong but its the "skills" that were intorduced recently

>>29561690
I see a new one I hadn't noticed before

GEOINTUITIVE VISION
Requires: Level 4 Enhanced Senses.
Cost: 3
JJ’s visual perception becomes rigorously attuned to geometric patterns, trajectories, and pathways. He can intuitively know how best to aim an object so that it gets from point A to point B, predict the trajectories of moving forces in visual range, and know exactly the angle and velocity required to ‘bounce’ an object along a predetermined pathway.

Why take claws and fangs? Our most pressing threat is Kimura and she regularly slaps the shit out of Laura who has adamantium claws.

Tazer hands seem like a better investment, and synergize with Noriko and Orphan 2
>>
>>29561793

She's weak to adamantium. It's that Laura has been trained and conditioned not to kill Kimura.

>>29561771
I know that, but the way he said it sounds like it was working towards a certain power.
>>
>>29561793

its just a sudgestion

I dunno I think it kinda fits JJ in a awkward way, he doesn't like to fight so the Berserk would be what happens if he does, I probably explained that terribly.

Frankly before anything else Healing 3 is needed.

Also don't think JJ is the berserk type. More grit your teeth and dive in balls deep, but hes always aware of what hes doing, its not being a nutter.

>[X] Read through it now.

Ducking behind a set of charming metal bins, you glance down at the headline.

“HOMELESS HERO REVEALS ALL: DRUGS FLOODING OUR STREETS”

Oh my. That seems a little direct and sensationalist for that Urich guy. You bet someone else wrote the headline. Is that how it always works.

A mote of pride swelling in your chest, you read on.

It’s all there. The Jack, the night at the docks, Sacred Tree, Creeper – all of it. There are lengthy parts composed almost solely of transcriptions drawn straight from your mouth, followed by Urich’s own commentary on the subject. Towards the end the article almost transforms into a thinly-veiled accusation levelled at the people of New York, and maybe even the people of the world – that, by the rampant criminalization of an entire population, they have flooded their city with a criminal underclass with nothing to lose, making money off a dangerous and unpredictable narcotic. You’re particularly glad to see small, accompanying text near the end, in which it is stated that:

“It is the opinion of John Jonah Jameson, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, that the individual who chose to step forward with this information is, despite their past actions, a true hero. It is a true shame that the city cannot reward him for his good deeds, and for choosing the better angels of his nature over the worse.” – J. Jonah Jameson

You just smile for a little while.

Then the nasty thoughts, the thoughts of Creeper tearing his hair out and being repeatedly bludgeoned by a giant, cartoonish edition of the Daily Bugle, worm their way into your head. It feels a little unheroic, a little dirty, to sully the truth by weaponizing it so precisely, but you suppose that’s what people have been doing since news was news. So whatever.

We have decent healing - and the tail is an extension of our spine.
Tongue gets ripped out, we bleed and maybe grow it back. Spine gets ripped out, we die.

If something can rip our entire spine out by the base we're screwed anyway, and at least the tail we can use to carry things and have it be useful without actually HANDING it to our enemies. The tongue is just worse then the tail in every way. Sorry.

>>
>>29561988
It can with enough force, hell Luara has done it before.
Also it seems like it needs to electrocute her for a long time to do any real damage.
And as the Canadian mutant says this his claw flashes, stabbing powerfully not into his opponent... but into the heavy junction box in the utility stairwell causing a HISS-TZZZT to sound as a few sparks leap to life and suddenly both Kimura and Logan's bodys go taut as electricity courses through their bodies.
It's enough to kill most people, enough to kill most heroes. The electricity burns through them, sizzling hair and causing bones to snap with tension from the overly taut muscles... and then the breaker kicks in and they both slump to the ground.

*Crack* goes X-23's jaw. *Sizzle* goes her skin. She hits the ground, but is far quicker to rebound from the backhand than the earlier mauling. But where her primary goal failed, her secondary succeeded. "Do you really know me?" It's rhetorical. She's already seen the junction box. Like as not, her thoughts skew in the same direction as Logan's own.
When the blow comes, she's already prepared; namely by shielding her face from any ensuing sparks or flashes of light. She waits until the breaker kicks in before she dares to look again. She knows Weapon X will be fine. Kimura- she's not so sure. With both of them on the ground, she moves quickly; first to try and kick Kimura off the roof and, second, to check on Logan to make sure he still has a pulse. And, if he does? Then he's getting hauled up, one way or the other - and she's getting out of there.

Not really, in all likelihood Berserking out would be be semi-voluntary at best. Any power that requires a challenge roll to activate and a challenge roll to suppress in the face of frustrating circumstance is more a liability than an asset. Then again, I just don't like the idea of relinquishing control of JJ in the middle of a fight, even if he becomes a powerhouse for the duration of QM control.

You fold the paper away under your coat, make sure not to ruin too badly. That little afterword by J.J.J. is pretty much something you want to show off. You got called a hero, but a person person, not a homeless person, not even a mutant person person, a normal sapien person person. A normal sapien person person who owns a big newspaper business and whose opinion kinda matters. Or, whose opinion people trust to matter.

Better top this off by going to meet some angry people who steal from charity shop. Yeah. That’ll keep the day golden.

You strike out along the street, manoeuvring around the busier, more intimidating crowds with some minor help from those sticky Spider-Man hands of yours. It doesn’t save you a huge amount of time – you’re mostly just concerned about being around too many people right now, what with Creeper undoubtedly searching high and low for the merest trace of your faintly scaled ass.
>>
>(2/2)

Eventually, you find yourself at the old, rotting gates to the local park. Remembering that you met Creeper once or twice nearby, you fade into invisibility, keeping to the path to minimize your tracks. Only when you’re far out of sight of the clear grass upon which you and Creeper met, the trees verging up further into the park, do you drop your cloak and trudge out into the deep snow. Your recollection of the place isn’t perfect, but you can navigate by subtly familiar scents and notable landmarks (oh, look, it’s that tree you knocked over before you broke Peter’s girlfriend’s leg). After a short while you’re in sight of the sudden, stepped bowl you noted as you meeting place – the amphitheatre. You slog through the snow to its rim, surveying the stage below. No piano today.

You don’t really know why you chose this place. No reason at all, most likely. It just stands out in your memory.

Anyway, nobody’s here yet. You check your watch.

It's kinda surprising what Adhesive Touch has no Extrapolative Mutations at all, but, it's only level one... Agility and Strengh are a bit lacking as well, since, you know, only one ability and it's a Warp Spasm which in a perfect world we would never ever use.

Honestly expected claws and fangs to reinforce the whole skeleton too, at some point, as standart advancement or extrapolative mutation. Seems logical.

I'm working out the details on some Adhesive Touch extrapolates. One that has to do with reducing friction, one that has to do with making stuff more repulsive, and one that has to do with repulsing yourself from stuff rather than sticking to it. MAYBE something that repulses other objects via touch chained after that.

And maybe more C/Fs ones.

Seems like a waste.

Maybe have something like: These extraplorative powers can only be bought with Unitary Points. 3 Unitary points make up 1 whole X-Point.

Or something like that.
>>
>>29562629
Isn't that just a straight Adhesive Touch + Enhanced Strength combo? Like, with one more level of Adhesive touch we can start doing that to people? Of course, that would void all the good PR we've established for ourself and undermine any goodwill toward Mutantkind we've managed to garner, but the option's easily attainable.

>[X] Fade out and wait by the stage.

You slip into the cold nothingness of invisibility and make your way down toward the stage, hoisting yourself up onto the cool stone. You kinda wish that piano was still there – Phantom of the Opera would be quite the entrance, if a little excessive. You get the impression that ‘excessive’ very nearly defines the Hellions – excessive posturing, excessive property damage, excessive threats of property damage, excessive substance abuse… in one case, excessive stature of the truly ginormous kind.

Time rolls on by uneventfully, the lack of much pressure in your frontal lobe soon becoming pretty noticeable. You guess you’re getting better at keeping yourself cloaked. You check the time, frowning a little to yourself.

>13:07 PM

Come on, guys, its cold out here. You pull your coat in tighter and refuse to budge, at least for a little while.

Eventually, you notice a figure emerging at the top of the amphitheater. It – he – comes into focus as he descends. Sixteen, seventeen, probably, long brown hair, covered up against the cold but sporting a look you’d probably describe as faintly ‘grunge’. You get the vague impression that this guy should have torn jeans (obviously, the weather being what it is, that’s not the case) and be skating badly or whining about how unfair school is. He’s glancing absently along the rows of seats as he descends, eventually picking one to hunker down on.

So long as x-points remain indivisible (you can convert unitary points to x-points but not vice versa) and there's a separate but equally challenging mechanism to earn unitary points I think I could get behind it.

This guy has gotta be one of them. You don’t recognize him, but who the hell else is dragging themselves around here in the cold? Your average New Yorker is either at work of busying themselves with being Christmas-spirited (read: buying shit lots of shit). Parks are cold and wet and windy, and they don’t even sell coffee or nothin’.

“So.” Gotta start somewhere, right?” “You Brian or Alvers?”

“Gah!” He starts, throwing himself to his feet. His eyes scour the amphitheater.

“Well, either way, you’re late.”

This is actually kinda fun. He whirls around, tracking his gaze along the rim up above, his shocked expression steadily descending further and further into a scowl.

“Hey, man!” He shouts, his voice indignant. “You called this meet, so show yourself!”

Hah.

“You don’t wanna make me angry, man!” He adds, in a tone that’d probably be quite threatening were he a little less totally helpless and vulnerable.

…Hey, is it just you, or is the ground kinda shaking a little?

Creeper was a bad influence!

He is our fatherjoking, but our uncle

>>29563501
Remind me to have that thrift store demolished during the inevitable brawl.
>>
>>29563360
What's the point of pretending to teleport when we the witnesses all stated we could turn invisible? The Bugle might or might not have published that, but other, less sympathetic papers, almost certainly did.
>>
>>29563525

I think Crusty siad that he's not related to us in any way.

Or at lesat he's not our Father.
>>
>>29563525
He's adopted.
>>
>>29563484
I have.

Joyce's method of tanking was pure Colossus.
>>
>>29563534

Like they read the fucking papers.

And Santo said we might have been a teleporter to Jules, so it works.
>>
>>29563566
you be surprised on how many people read newspapers.
>>
>>29563554
Awesome and awwww...fair enough, I admit colossus is probably the more appropriate archetype.

Any chance of adding Stodian Murder Power to the Layla Potential pinwheel?
>>
>>29563566
Are you implying that Lance Alvers, high school dropout and temporarily homeless punk, is not a reading man?

I'll have you know, that gaming magazine you wrote your message on was his.
>>
>>29563606
the interview with the Bugle is gonna make us lose our job at the Tabby cat, isn't it?
>>
>>29563606

Why am I laughing so hard?
>>
>>29563596
I guess it's possible. I probably won't put that many straight-up killy abilities on the wheel. You already have so much of that.
>>
>>29563534
This is true, But just to play devil's advocate, Look At what we've seen of these guys so far.
Do they really seem like the type to read the papers, regularly? And if they did, do they seem intelligent/cognizant/Sober enough to put two and two together? Or even notice we're the same guy?

Ah, so he was already pissed before we plunked him. Expected, but not for that reason.

>Bitching about creapin
Hey, that's what he gets for being late.
>>
So anyway... So from what whom we've seen, out of character anyway, The hellions certainly have the destructive potential on their end to prove a threat to Creeper at least, right?
>>
Thread archived.

I won't be around much longer for questions, due to Reasons. Twenty minutes tops.
>>
>>29563776
they got the power but do they have the brains?

and they cover their tracks poorly, we found where they live in one afternoon
>>
>>29563797
see>>29563637
>>
>>29563797

What did the paper say about the demon?
>>
>>29563776
Well they are druggies, high school drop outs, and could easily be convinced by the creaper to jion him if he had at least 10-20 minutes alone time with their leader.
>>
>>29563811
With our supersnoz, and only because we knew one was made of rock.
>>
>>29563811
Well, hopefully thats where JJ comes in, if theyre at least smart enough to listen.
Otherwise? I doubt it.
>>
>>29563776

Well, out of character wise, Tabitha can just make explosions with her mind, right? Seems like she could end Creeper, provided he didn't know that about her.

I admit I don't know much about any of the Hellions' powers though.
>>
>>29563851
Oops. I meant, out of character wise, we know Tabitha can just make explosions with her mind.
>>
>>29563834
I very pointedly only brought up Destructive potential, because, well, ALL the things you said.
>>
>>29563797
Still having for fun than headaches with us?
>>
>>29563811
Our Enhanced Senses helped A LOT with that, but a criminal organization could have destroyed the buildings to flush them out regardless.
>>
>>29563833
Didn't mention the demon thing. Just called it out as a failure by the section of SHIELD assigned to deal with disembodied threats.

>>29563828
Why would it? They didn't reveal your identity.

>>29563834
Eh, it should be noted that not all of them are major druggies.
>>
>>29563896
Or just waited outside, pop pop everyone who isn't cessily or santo drops.
>>
>>29563881
It kinda depends on which versin of the characters we face here, but going just by potential the Hellions are incredibly powerful.
And while most of them aren't exactly the brightest, Hellion and Tag are (usually) far from stupid
>>
>>29563928
do you have what our new powers are?
Also what were the upgrades to our core powers.
>>
>>29563874
Well, actually she can create "explosives", not like, just randomly blow up anything she can see instantly.
>>
>>29563928
Does Avalanche make the sound effect from the TV show when he uses his powers?
I need to know this
>>
>>29563851
Lance makes earthquakes
Brian's gets explained in 40, he "tags" you and people don't want to be around you
Jules is Telekinetic (we don't know that in game)
Cessily is made of liquid metal (we don't know that in game)
Tabitha blows up stuff with her "mind"
Santos is made of rock, super strong and get be horny despite lacking genitalia
>>
>>29563979
I think we find out when we finish the Creeper arc.
>>
>>29564018

And does he still look like he's cumming in his pants every time he uses his powers?
>>
>>29563979
http://pastebin.com/98mpGLrh

>>29564018
He does.
>>
>>29563965
Yeah. Isnt Hellion kind of a hothead though? Among other character defects?
>>
Why the hell they send Lance? I've never seen an incarnation that was the party face, outside of Evo, which he wasn't so hot at
>>
>>29564032
Do we know if Cessily is even with them? Don't remember them name dropping her, but I could easily have forgotten.
>>
>>29564087
Because he's expendable and good and grabbing our attention while Julian gets in position to take us out?

>thread 23

The news affects a pretty immediate change in the guy. His aloof expression falters for a second, briefly racing through a spectrum of shock, anger, and deliberation. Eventually he composes himself again and scratches his head, taking obvious care not to disturb his (admittedly) impeccable hair.

“…Who did he say this turf belonged to?”

“Uh… Creepo, or something.”

“Creeper.” Corrects the girl.

“Creeper…” The apparent leader clenches his fists. Yep, that’s some short-ass temper right there. “Tabitha, go get Alvers and Brian.”

“What about Cess?”

“Cessily’s busy.” He grins, and motions for his gargantuan friend to follow him as he makes to leave. “Looks like the Hellions have competition.”

Hey their was talk of a different system for EXTRAPOLATIVE MUTATIONS here:
>>29562689

Your thoughts?
>>
>>29564159
>>29564064
>>
>>29564159
I feel Extrapolative powers are like Pimping your ride. sure, it looks cool as heck and gives massive street cred, but it's expensive and ultimately gimps you because of overspecialization.

Just pick up a trick or two, other than that is too much investment and not enough pay off.
>>
>>29564211

I really agree with this, actually.
>>
>>29564211
I'm just hoping the berserk power idea is never implemented since people keep forgetting we are stealth fucking based.
>>
>>29564081
Certainly, though the extend of 'other defects' very much depends on the author.
I believe this Hellion will likely be the New X-Men one - and thus quite capable despite being a hotheaded jerk
>>
>>29564032

They certainly sound like an interesting bunch.
>>
>>29564251
for now
we have access to strength claws armor and speed
its completely viable to use
>>
>>29564251
This.
>>
>>29564425
It lowers our healing by a level and it is an ability that will need a few rolls for control, and i want a power that doesn't require a roll to focus on an enemy and not on friends or innocents.
>>
>>29564595
Its temporary
>>
>>29564649
We don't know for how long and if we need to resort to using that power and risking a roll for it, i don't want to have our healing lowered after beserk wears off.
>>
>>29564696
Thats something to ask crusty next thread
>>
>>29564696
>>29564595
also it says we have some self control so we wont just go murder our loved ones because of it
>>
>>29564778
>barest vestiges of self-control, lashing out indiscriminately at his surroundings
More like it looks like we would need to roll to make sure we are gonna fight an enemy.
>>
>>29564808
it seems more like we can "steer" it so we attack our enemy and not the people around us
>>
>>29564849
I'm almost positive we'd have to roll not to go after allies as well.
>>
Part of being a team means learning to rely on others.

we need to focus on our core set and stuff that complements it, not take some berserker state that feels completely different from what we mainly are
>>
I wonder if GEOINTUITIVE VISION can be applied to us for getting around?
>>
>>29564887
Then we just tell our allies when we use it for fucks sakes
>>
>>29564893
I don't like the berserker power either but stealth powers only folks are more annoying.
>>
>>29564849
>barest vestiges of self-control
Barest- just sufficient; mere:
Vestige-a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists
From these it sounds like it would need a roll and
>lashing out indiscriminately at his surroundings
Makes it sound like it means that we don't care about collateral damage of any kind.
>>
>>29564926
>moving the goal post
So your expecting the perfect situation and also for our freinds to be able to get away?
>>
>>29564961
the core set takes fewer points to maxize
>>
>>29564993
What has moving the goal posts have to do with telling our allies that hulkamaina is about to run wild?
also we dont always have to use it.
>>
>>29564849
Pretty sure it's more we attack /ALL/ the enemies! Oh wait, those are the bodies of someof our friends.
>>
>>29565002
Core's fine, I agree there, but outside core is free game as few of them are detrimental to stealth.
>>
>>29564961
The core set is the fastest to upgrade right now.
4 for invisibility level 5
7 for max senses.
>>29565016
Then it becomes a wasted power where people would argue about when we should use it or not.
>>
>>29565038
Quit fucking whining about it, when we vote for what we spend our points on then we can all talk about this
>>
>>29565057

Don't tell them what to do.
>>
>>29565057
How am i whining about it exactly?
I'm just stating what i predict will happen if the power is picked, since people like to play a paladin Mugga.
>>
>>29565083
Its irrelevant to talk about when its currently impossible to get
>>
>>29565105
Doesn't matter they want to talk about it.
>>
I'd really like more flashbacks. So we can learn more about JJ's past.
>>
God damnit, this is why I should have got up earlier to do this. Stupid decisions seem to pop up every few threads.

Also, we should touch on the topic with Layla of not asking someome if they killed and any questions that go with it. That shit is just insensitive, and I noticed no one even mentioned it.
>>
>>29565299
>>29560649
>>
>>29565299

I Agree, but feel it's a topic for later. Main thing was to get a paper to see what was said and meet the Hellions.
>>
>>29565401

And no one voted for it. Also, I meant bringing it up with Layla. So it doesn't happen again.
>>
I wondering why are stupid is acting up more frequently.
>>
>>29565534

Probably to counteract our anti-crack bitching lately. It's not JJ Green's life if shit isn't going wrong in some way.
>>
>>29565534
Wasn't anything really that stupid today.
>>
>>29565708
Except scare the crap out of a mutant we don't know that is, but I think most people were going for appear behind him then talk, rather than what happened.
>>
>>29565534
this attitude of "small mistakes mean the end of the world" doesn't help anyone.

HMQ playerbase has overall been pleasant, lets all try to keep it that way
>>
>>29565775
I know that's what I wanted.
>>
>>29565775
Yea, that was kind of stupid. Hopefully we can play it off some way so they don't know about our invisibility but it seems unlikely to say the least.
>>
>>29565852
I got in the thread late or that would have been my vote as well, all considered though it's not huge.

It's not a boat situation, just a stupid decision.
>>
>>29565856

Maybe we can tell him to calm his tits. Make some lie up about through are voice and "Teleport" in.
>>
>>29565781

Wasn't trying to be negative just saying we've been making mistakes a lot more frequently.
>>
>>29565931
It seems a long shot but maybe he's stupid, that seems a real possibility with these guys
>>
>>29565931
I really don't see any point in doing this, as soon as they get the paper they're going to know we turn invisible anyways.
>>
>>29566002
Assuming they read the paper or even make the connection. I'm sure Creeper has plenty of enemies.

If they read the paper we're unlikely to get away with it though really.


I think the ruse is done actually after a little thought. We already gave ourselves away because people wanted to be 2spooky. Oh well, it's not really that big of a deal.
>>
>>29566093
We're pretty much meeting them to give them the exact information from the paper, I was under the assumption that we were either going to hand them the paper or tell them to go get one so they'll have a hard copy, the teleportation ruse had more thought from fuckin Santo than us.
>>
>>29566210

I still want to do it for the fun of it and also as a example of who their trying to go up against. The only difference being the shit we just did is that creeper wouldn't hesitate to kill them if they go up against.
