On combat, I think, considering this is an RP, logic should go first. A fourteen year old boy shouldn't be able to fight a pro MMA fighter because he has a better roll. If there is no considerable advantage, then rolls should be used.

I think rolls should be avoided whenever and wherever possible.

Just my opinion, if you want to make this story-based and not roll-based.

You know, it's probably safe to start fleshing out who your characters will be etc. Baldman's almost done with the lore, he just wants to make a few more heroes.

My character's more or less fleshed out in my head, though they'll become more so as time goes on. I'll put a character sheet, such as it is, down later, once I'm more familiar with stuff, I think.

Also, we need to figure out the hero and villain business. Would y'all be okay with possibly fighting each other?

About what age will characters be? And anything else we would need.

Actually if you just write up something that gives us a base for what our characters would need that'd be great.

Of course. I want to play a villane personally.

ALL OF THESE DETAILS ARE PRE-TRIGGER EVENT.
YOUR MARY SUE HASN'T YET BEEN MAULED WHILE SHIELDING A BAG OF PUPPIES

Appearance: DESCRIBE HOW PRETTY YOU ARE

Demeanor and Personality: SHOW US YOUR INNER BEAUTY AND OUTER MANNERISMS

Backstory: TALK ABOUT THE PAST. YOUR CHARACTER HASN'T TRIGGERED YET.

I'd prefer actions to be rolled. Even if it's just a single roll to decide who wins a fight and how close it is, then we roleplay how it went.

Working on character now.

On an unrelated note, I can feel Elf's influence already.

I am more interested in just writing it up the fights.

Also, I'm thinking of my character being a badass villan in his persona but actually be a shy nerd who love anime and such.

A lot of times it's better for the story if that's decided through the Dramameter.


Anyway.

Appearance: SEHR SEHR PRETTEH

Demeanor and Personality: NO YOU ONLY GET TO SEE MY SHELL

Backstory: WELL IT ALL STARTED WHEN A MOMMY AND A DADDY LOVED EACH OTHER VERY MUCH...

Yeah yeah I'll make an 'actual' sheet. Demeanour and Personality will be fairly unremarkable, though. I like to reveal/build those during play.

Huh. Might be a tad difficult to write him well, but the dissonance seems like it'll be a nice element if you do it right.

I'm thinking he's like a human shy guy. Mask on and it's fine. Mask off and he's a wimp.

Huh. I guess I'll be joining this eventually? It seems interesting, but I have no idea about the background stuff or read Worm or whatever.

Are we allowed to specify trigger event and preferred archetype? There was discussion but I couldn't find the final decision.
