You're going to keep people's actions a secret with spoilers? I think you're depending too much on the honor system.

How's this?

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

(Nick)Name: Natalia 'Little Angel' Gardner.
Appearance: A thin, 5'6-foot tall redhead with brown eyes behind a pair of glasses. Obviously a 13 year old, Natalia has her hair in a long pony-tail tied with a small teal ribbon and she appears to be missing both her right-hand ring and middle fingers.
Personality: Natalia is quite the unusual person, she appears to calmly and coldly react to everything, as if she planned for it to already happen. Aside from this, she happens to really like books, always carrying at least two on her person at all times. She's left-handed and prefers to use knives if she ever needs to handle a weapon. Her goal is to meet Jason Rayfield one more time and torture him to death.
Background: Born of a lower class family, Natalia lived in relative peace until she was 8 years old, where she lost her mother to a natural disaster and her father abandoned her soon after, with a close friend she was able to survive A-okay in this crazy world, surviving off of stolen food and stealing books to feed her need for literature. When she reached the age of 11, she got caught by the wrong sort of person to cross, Jason Rayfield, someone who really didn't like the idea of having his possessions filched by a little girl, he killed her friend and sliced off two of her fingers as a warning before letting her go. She never forgot about that event. With her wits and persistence she managed to stay alive long enough to reach the age of 13, where she showed some of the right people her skill at being someone useful and joined a gang, where she quickly rode up the ranks to the role of adviser to the guy in charge.

Psychic Powers: Precognition: The ability to see the (I'd suggest near) future. Chronokinesis: The ability to manipulate people's perception of time, making time either appear to speed up or slow down for them.
Traits/Skills: Innocent child: +2 to lying convincingly. Child-prodigy: +3 to all knowledge and identification checks.
Flaws: Child: Aside from the people in her gang that know she's something special, people will not usually listen to her. Near-sighted: -3 to seeing details of things a distance away from her without her glasses. Arachnophobia: Natalia suffers a -2 to all actions if she sees a spider, this is removed when the spider is out of sight or killed. Missing fingers: Cannot use a gun with her right hand.

Looks good, though we need to discuss how precognition will work. My idea was having it so the enemy would have to PM you their actions in the next turn, but you'd have to choose to either look into the future, or act in the now. For chronokinesis, I could set up a initiative system, and you can cause others to go early or late on that scale.

I think I'd prefer the Precognition ability to work a little differently, here's an example of what I have in mind:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I use my Precognition ability, you roll for it and if I succeed, you send me a PM or make a mini-update to tell me, then I get to make an action which will be included in the update, then I also get an advantage (such as bonuses to my action) over any actions near my vicinity and I get to react to each players actions before they happen, whether they succeed or not. If I fail the Precognition roll, then you let me know and I make an action for the update-proper.

Your suggestion for the Chronokinesis is good. If the Precognition ability is too much of a hassle for you, I'm perfectly fine with changing it to something more manageable.

Your idea sounds good, a lot easier than what I had planned anyway.

Its a Deathmatch game. Just make up an ability, and we'll talk over it. I'd rather make an OP ability balanced instead of completely banning an ability.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Nick Name: Ghost
Appearance: A 6' lanky giant, has blue eyes and fair skin.  He wears his white hair in a single braid down his back and is usually wearing a black trench coat.  Ghost looks 25 years old but no one can really tell how old he is.
Personality: Ghost usually keeps to himself, he likes working solo and when he has to interact with other people he stays focused on the mission.  He is usually lost in thought off in the dark corner and doesn't get phased by anything.  He has a pistol in his trench coat at all times a revolver.
Background: Not much is known about Ghost, as long as anyone knows he's been a part of the gang. The truth is he smuggled himself across the Atlantic Ocean at the ripe age of 10.  He never registered with the government and has survived by stealing what he needs.  When he was 16 he joined one of the gangs and has survived for 14 years, none of the original members are part of the gang anymore.  Ghost's real name is Charles, but only he knows this.

Physcic Powers: Illusions: Ghost can make a person or a group of people see something that is not there or not see something that is there.  He can make it more detailed and complicated the less people it affects.
Traits/Skills: Sneaky: Ghost can move silently and pickpocket pretty well, +2 to both
Flaws: Loner: If given the choice, Ghost will always work alone and will break plan if he thinks of a better one
Weak: Ghost is phydically weak, he can't carry heavy things or use his strength and -2 to melee attacks and damage.

Character sheet
Name: Francois Du Monte
Appearance: A gaunt looking frenchman who appeared out of nowhere and rose to become a major player in the ganglands. He has black hair, pale skin, and always dresses in a dark grey suit with dark red accents. His tiny french mustache drips with blood.
Personality: Francois is actually a really nice guy, if you're on his side. If your not, he's likely the guy who's going to get you killed.
Background: Francois came out of nowhere, he has no past and he had no ties to anyone. He walked into the ganglands, dethroned a major player and took over operations all in under a week. Some say he's from Normandy, others say he's from hell. It's likely he's from both.

Psychic Powers: Metal control- Francois has powerful telepathic control over all types of metal. His body also cannot be hurt by metal.
Traits/Skills: Empire Builder- Francois gets a bonus on any action that expands his territory or opperations
Flaws: Holds a Grudge- Francois does not easily forgive those who have wronged him, as a result, he will remain openly hostile towards others until the wrong has been righted.

These both look good, however, I removed immunity to damage by metal, but I'm sure the metal-bending should keep you safe. Also, I noticed you only have the one weakness, but it seems rather bad, so your good.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Jason "Man-Shark" Rayfield
Appearance: An ugly, fat bastard best describes this creature. He stands at around 5 feet tall, and has a girth of about 3 feet wide. His hair is oily and thin, and drapes itself across his face. He has a huge, Roman nose, and small, sunk deep, black eyes. His teeth are gnarly, disgusting, and sharp, thus giving him his nickname "Man-Shark".
Personality: His pleasant and creepy personality thinly veils the mind of an insane cannibal. He can become violently psychotic at the drop of a hat, and during this time, no one is safe, so it's best to stay out of his way, or get a chunk bitten out of you.
Background: Back in his native Britain, he lived mostly in the alleys of the poor as a mad serial killer. When he was caught, he was sent to the asylum, to be cured. When he was ultimately found incurably mad, he was sent off on a ship off to Australia, far away from here. However, the ship he was on was caught in a storm, and sent off to The City instead. By this time, the crazies ran the ship, and so, when they landed, Jason simply slid through the chaos, and implanted himself as a butcher.

As part of the gang, he works as a cleaner, and takes care of those his gang dislike, and makes them disappear.

Psychic Powers: None. He's just batshit insane.
Traits/Skills: Strong: +3 to strength-based tasks.
Butcher's sense: Has an encyclopedic knowledge of human anatomy.
Psychotic Rage: Enters a state where he ignores pain and becomes an inhuman slaughterer of man. He forgets who is friend and foe, however.
Flaws: Very Fat: Becomes tired more easily, and is an easier target to hit.
Obviously Insane: Creeps out people near him, and generally had an aura of instability and murder.

Post by: Yourmaster on July 21, 2015, 03:07:33 pm

Eh. It would be interesting to play this game as a free roam with different teams.
Character sheet
(Nick)Name: Shards
Appearance: Standing around average in height, this man appears to be 16 to 18. They are slightly overweight and have dark skin. Their eyes are a light brown, similar to their hair.
Personality: Quiet, Shards rarely talks when it's not important. He shows a lack of emotion in many cases, and doesn't seem to feel any regrets or guilt, even when he is clearly wrong. He is a loner, and he shows obvious sociopathic traits. Despite all this, he isn't calculating and acts on impulse instead of planning.
Background: Shards grew up in a rich household. He had all the toys he wanted and a big fence to keep out undesirables. This made him less of a target, and he didn't have many problems. Still, somehow problems fell upon him. On a mountain trip, his mother and father died. If that wasn't bad enough, he lost all of his family's inheritance to the man they entrusted to take care of him. He joined a gang, and soon made some money. He got his nickname because his powers first manifested when he killed somebody by firing metal shards at them.

Psychic Powers: electro-magnekinesis
Traits: No empathy or guilt, giving him the ability to shrug off deaths and crimes he does.
Flaws: extreme anger- if somebody makes him angry or attacks them for a notable amount of damage, he must attack them for the rest of his turns until they are severely injured or dead.

If his (Shard's) power is electromagnetic (to control metal) and mine is telekinesis (to control metal), what happens when we both try to control metal? It seems like ours are very similar.

Telekinesis is not just the ability to psychically control metal, but also anything else, such as rocks, apples, whatever, as long as it has a physical presence. Shard's electromagnesis ability is much much more limited than your Telekinesis, as it's only manipulation and control of metal and nothing else. So in an even odds fight, I think he should have the superior hand over metal control, but good rolls can top that if you're lucky enough.

They both control metal. ATHATH has general telekinesis.

The Quantum Syndicate vs. The Scarlet Salvation. These will be the combatants for this skirmish.

We should also be getting another player too, so once he gets his character made, we can go about getting the battle set up.

What do you think should be the place we fight at? I was planning a main road, with shops and alleys on the side, allowing for flanking and a good amount of fighting out in the open and in close quarters. I'll get something drawn up later.

Last, how many generic gangsters should there be. I was thinking 9 on each side. This would make a 12 v 12 match, with 3 main characters per side, and a good amount of cannon fodder for each side. Thoughts?

Honestly, I doubt any of these people were intended for direct conflict. There's a bunch of grunts to hide behind, so you should be good to go. Your character should be okay.

I thought this was going to be more of a strategic game and less of a straight up brawl, I think I am also out.

While I would much rather prefer a strategic game, I guess I will stay.

Seems the games starting to fall apart. I planned to evolve to something more strategic when more people started joining, but by the looks of it, people planned to play something more strategic in the first place. I'm gonna need to think this out, but I'm sure I'd be able to set up a more strategic game. Something like an 1890s crime based Xcom. I'll get the city map set up in the mean time, I'll have it up in a second.

I'm thinking about letting this game die and set up a different game. Same concept, just less cluttered and confusing. You can just copy your character from this game to the other one even. Sound like a good idea?

Yeah, gonna lock this thread and make another. This is a real mess, maybe next time we'll all start of the same foot next time. Thanks for the interest, hope it transfers to the other game, because it'll be the same thing.

Yes. You may need to update to more modern times, and replace Psionic powers with vampire powers, but that's a definite MAYBE. It depends on what setting I go with, if I stay with 1890s or go modern(or maybe Cold War era, that'd be fun), but you should need to change very little, since your a vampire.

Do we get to prepare? Is the scale of this conflict over a few minutes or a few weeks?

Yes, you'll have time to prepare. It's all about slowly building up your forces, and taking the humans by surprise and overwhelming them. Along with not being attacked by vampire hunters and rival vampires, too. Keep your enemies close, and always be properly paranoid, because even your allies can't be trusted. If you decide to join, have fun!
