Aw, darn...

Also, I meant armor forge, must have messed up.

[Dwarmin]

Hmm. I'm thinking of adding the following lore to the first post-tell me if it sounds all right, and what we shoulld add/take away.

Spoiler: Armorforce Industries (click to show/hide)

A multinational company that specializes in high-tech armor systems. They do brisk business among the more popular Super-Heroes, receiving merchandising rights for movies, television programs, toy lines...in a short time, the company rise has been all but meteoric, and they enjoy very good public support. Among the Superhero community, reaction is mixed-between respect and disdain.

Some say Armorforge was founded in direct competition to Arnold Powers-and point to 'mysterious' backers of the Armorforce Corp, who provide it's leadership and the majority of it's funding. It's been accused by the more militant anti-supers of drectly sponsoring terrorist and vigilante action...which they, of course, deny.

Spoiler: Powers International (click to show/hide)

Arnold Powers was completely unknown 15 years ago. He was an idle rich-holding a substantial amount of funds in vast family holdings, but not running them himself. He was known as an innovater-an inventor, but none of his creations were anything more than curiosities-amazing, but not terribly useful...things changed.

When the Villian Big Bang and the Superhero Cometeer all but destroyed Detroit-and each other-during the culmination of their personal, and brutal Super War, Arnold Power's family was among the casualities, as they happened to fly over in their private jet. They say Arnold went quite mad...he took direct control of his assets and companies not long after, reorganzing what was a oil-and-gas power monoply into a high tech weapon and armor development firm. Most of his designs began showing up in law enforcement circles not long after-and nearly all of them displayed a tendency to harm or kill Supers, even those who were normally resistant to conventional weaponry...

His development of the "Super-Inhibitor" was what turned him from a pariah with a grudge into something actually dangerous. The origins of the device are mysterious-and attempts to tamper with the box are usually met with multiple failsafes destroying what remains.

These days, rumors swirl...some say he's planning something big. His buster suits-in theory-could scour the Earth of Supers if built in great enough numbers. Some worringly note his recent bids into the aerospace industry...others have noted the buying or real estate in 'odd' places. Then again, Powers is a master of misdirection...so his true plans will likely hidden until he unleashes them.

The second one about Powers sounds like one of the main villains of X-men who invented the sentinels. I'd rather go with a shadow branch of the company that the CEO doesn't know about. That way it would fit the terrorist funding ideas while keeping the company good at heart.

Just so you guys know, The Jewel Man is not a super.

[jc6036]

Kine is going into the conflict to try to resolve it and pick up supers to come to a meeting. The meeting (after the WE) will still be by the river, at waste water dump #5.  So, basically, Kine will attempt to get supers to come with him to the meeting place when the conflict cools down.

[Draxis]

It may  or may not be clear, but Alex went home for a while and now has his gear.  Also, the armor mentioned has pockets of fluid that hardens wnen pressure is applied.  It really exists, it is just hard to make.

[Sinpwn]

I am really hoping that I read right that bomb is at the Armorforce building.

[Furtuka]

I have an event/boss incoming so even though the cultists have left the building there are still a bunch of them outside. Ok?

[HailFire]

Derp, apparently by "soon" I mean 4 and a half hours.

And why do I still have this sneaking feeling that the Armor Forge complex is about to get hit by a kill-sat? 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You guys can go ahead and remove Miyako from the player lists

ED @sin: Yes, it was.

[Furtuka]

Actually I meant for it to be Force. But suddenly I realize that Forge sounds better.

[HailFire]

Oh, was it? Eh, people've been using the two interchangably anyways. 

ED: Tsume has Animation, as I detailed on the previous page- the character with Immortality is waiting in the Beast Master's lair, and hasn't been formally introduced.

ED the second: What are the cultists after? Not more than one of them's reached the labs, to my knowledge (and he never made it back).

[Furtuka]

...Oh uh oops... lets just say that some of them snuck in and ran off before Tom found that guy...    somehow

[HailFire]

...Oh uh oops... lets just say that some of them snuck in and ran off before Tom found that guy...    somehow

Except he had already snuck in there redonkulously fast. 

Maybe he's just bluffing to try and get the defenders to give up while another group attacks from a different angle?

Also, something disconcerting I've noticed (though it may be a little late to mention): If you actually read the page for Nothing(ness) Manipulation, you'll notice it's actually a more powerful version of Destruction, both of which are in the "Almighty Powers" category.

[Zako]

Yeah, it's one of the few powers that my character would be afraid of. I think I'm gonna have to ambush his ass to get him.

[Furtuka]

I mean like while Rick was on the roof. Though I did just get an interesting idea for the powers of one of the other high priests just now that wouldnsolve the plothole
