got back it was fantastic now lets get on those demon character sheets

Vergil1989

Glad to hear it.  Who all owes a sheet anyway?  Maybe a PM reminder would be a good idea?

Well, it's been a few days and still no IC.  And Snake, you and me both seem to be thinking along the same lines there lol.

More RL issues delaying me. If it's any consolation, this is not the only game I've got on hold.


Though I could use some input, from Iridium or anyone else, for the setting. Is Honsou Island still inhabited by civilians, or is it supposed to be a warzone/wrecked ruin infested by demons and nothing else?

Vergil1989

I'd assume but I'd still have Iridium confirm one way or the other, that despite it being a warzone/ruined city that there would be civilians about still although they are probably afraid for their lives everyday and hide as best they can so they don't end up as lunch or slaves or even worse if that's possible lol.  That's just my two cents at the moment and it's ok about RL being a pain Glyph buddy, was just wondering what the hold up was.  Anyway, I hope things settle down for you soon buddy.

I'd make the same assumption that there would still be pockets of civilians eking out an existence in the devastation as well as more or less 'normal' areas since Iridum's original post says that at the height of the invasion 70% of the population was displaced. I would think that there would be forward XCITE bases for the retaking of Honshu as well.

iridum248

I'd assume there are pockets of civilians here and there, yes, even though they're technically not supposed to be there- Plenty of refugees, looters, people too afraid to leave, or in hiding...It's a ruined place, certainly, from the initial devastation and what came later, but it's hardly a deserted one.

Vaulera

i would like to run an idea by you iridium. the squad runs through a lair of one demon at a time that may have various rooms or something. but the idea being to go through the demons one at a time to make up for the lack of them all at once. just an idea.

Vergil1989

Sounds like a good idea to me unless we get everyone that said they were interested to get a character sheet going, in which case alliances and stuff would probably be made along the way.  I don't expect ALL of the demons to be willing to work with each other day in and day out.

TheGlyphstone

Well, that was the point of having an association. Remember, I signed up to be the Lex Luthor of our Legion of Doom, that means at least occasional input from the other 'demon' players rather than being sole storywriter/arbiter.

I'm firmly against the 'one player gets screentime at a time', if only becaus it means everyone else will be sitting back and watching, which strongly increases the odds of people dropping out from inactivity.

Vaulera

i meant one demon at a time in a sense that it would be one lair rather than have the squad bouncing between demonic lairs without context. in the theme of the whole legion of doom i thought demons would be in cohesion and could have multiple in one lair. just a suggestion at any rate

TheGlyphstone

For 'Lair assaults', you're right, and that'll probably be how it's done. I intend to have much more varied assignments than just 'attack Demon Nest at location X', though, so there will be plenty of scenarios when assorted demon lords will have minions working in concert.

Syene

Hmm... Would you still be interested in someone playing a mission control character? I could do an AI, but I think there are some other lovely options. Whatever I was going to do, I'd like some opportunities to get in on the fun, one way or another. ;)

I like both ideas greatly that you Glyph and Syene have put to the table and I agree with your earlier opinion of making sure that no one demon is given action while the rest of us sits around.

Laughing Hyena

Sounds reasonable. I also have an idea for my character but not any minions beyond the wolf like monsters that I had a picture of. Maybe some jungle plants or some kind of mutated lizard?

Vergil1989

Given the setting of it being a mix of sci fi meets horror fantasy I would imagine that'd be a good idea myself Hyena, but I am not the official leader of this crazy group so I cannot say for certain one way or the other.  Still, if it was me I'd accept it either way or both if you were feeling daring lol.

Vaulera

who are the monsters who haven't  submitted a character yet?

Laughing Hyena


Vergil1989

endlesspie, Laughing Hyena, and Muse offering to play as Demons.

From the list I was able to find, these are the ones that had shown interest but I am unsure if, besides Hyena, they have gotten up sheets or not yet.  We know you haven't yet and that you are still interested, but that cannot be said of our other two.

Vaulera

that explains why every thread i go into has at least two of the people from this threads' names on it

Kahana

I'm not sure if you're still open for the Demon Hunters, but here goes just in case.:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Banshee [Previously known as Anna Draven]

Age: 27

Physical Description/Picture:



Long black tresses fall to her waist, bangs framing steel blue eyes. She is of an Asian/Caucasian mix, with deathly pale skin and a lithe, curvy, and lethal body. She stands at a medium 5ft.6, and is petite, a balance of strength, speed, and stamina.  Three long, jagged claw marks score her throat. She is known for wearing dark clothing that covers most of her body, especially trench-coats. She is often seen with twin katana strapped across her back, along with twin pistols, various ammo, and a dagger in her boot.

History:

Banshee was one of the organization's early attempts at experimentation with combining human and demon DNA, in order to make better and stronger hunters. This operation was little more than an experiment, but also happened to save her life, after a raid gone horribly wrong. Wounded beyond her body's capability to heal, she agreed to an operation that would give her a demon's ability to regenerate, and also slightly increase her durability, strength, and speed, thus negating her need for the organization's specially tailored suits, unless needed for certain environmental protection. Before joining the Demon Hunters, however, she was the daughter of an American Militant and a Japanese housewife, who was born deaf. She had the capability to speak, but rarely did. She joined the Organization initially as a hand-to-hand and melee specialist, but was injured extensively in the field a year later by an unknown demon. She has the reputation of being the oldest and most experienced field member, as well as the only one to have avoided the lusty clutches of every demon she had encountered over the years, thanks in large part to her own demonic attributes gained through the operation.

She is known to be a stoic, dedicated member of the Organization, utilizing demonic telepathy as her preferred means of communication, still not used to being able to speak after so many years. She is quiet, observant, and prefers to keep to herself, though she is loyal to the organization and her team, and has never left a woman behind. Ever.

Area of Expertise:

Due to her time of service, Banshee has mastered various fields, but she is definitely the most lethal with hand-to-hand and melee combinations. She is never seen without the presence of her twin katanas. She is skilled with ranged weapons such as her twin pistols and the laser crossbow, but only resorts to using such means in dire circumstances, or when faced with opponents she doesn't care to kill personally. Explosives, linguistics, and infiltration are among her other specialties. While Banshee's experience is always handy, it is her new demonic attributes that has made her twice over an asset to the organization:

*increased healing rates, allowing her to sustain more damage than the average human before passing out/dying.
*increased stamina, strength, and dexterity.
*due to the unqie abilities of the demon DNA she had been given, Banshee has been allowed certain aspects of the demon, such as demonic telepathy, keener senses [especially hearing] and most notably, a sonic scream, which earned her her new code-name within the organization. Banshee has also proven slightly resistant to psychic attacks and demonic venom.



Motivation/Goals: Kill the demon that nearly ended her [her scars tingle when it's near]/Protect her team/eventually eradicate all demons.

Motto: ~Death before dishonor.~ -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me know if I need to make any edits to this - not sure how you feel about the whole her having Demon DNA thing!
