Powers/Equipment for Overwatch have been added.
Brom - take a look and let me know if there's anything you'd like to change about the suit's loadout before we start.

Hammer - got 'em! I'm sure I'll make some kind of vile use of them... I'm wicked like that!
Silent - Pembrook's suit is definitely going to be utilized in Overwatch's power-set... technically, it was designed to nullify his powers (which he didn't want and is trying to get rid of) but it's also powered by his ability and will have some "powers" of its own.
Also - Penumbra's entry updated with picture and reformatted power set. Enjoy!

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: That. Is. AWESOME!
I love it!!! Gives me some ideas as to what to equip the thing with, too!
And, no, I don't think I necessarily "cheated" Penumbra or Disturbance, just wanted to go back and make sure I'd spent all the points I could on each of them. They're both good to go... Updated/reformatted Preston's power list. Hitting Aly's next.

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: Indeed, indeed!
I'm excited, my own self!!!
Working towards getting us going by locking down power-sets. Brea/Lightning is finished... Powers posted to her character entry.
Double-checking Disturbance and Penumbra, making sure I haven't cheated them somewhere, then will update their entries to make their powers easier to read.
The rest of the characters are in the works but not done quite yet.

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: Inspiring!
Okay... I've gotten PMs from a couple of you asking if you were going to start out having already been captured or, instead, if you were going to get the chance to RP it out...
Originally I had intended to write out the captures as an intro post or two (kind of like the way I did with the original run) but, given the comments and such that I've received in the threads and via messages, and seeing as how there are a relatively equal number of PCs on both sides, I think, maybe, letting you guys play it out would be fun! Plus, it might just get us all into posting that much sooner... Anyone opposed?

Sam'd enjoy the guay outta going to the Slaughterhouse! Of course, if Wyatt would prefer he stay back to mind the boat (and not ruin any potential dealings by runnin of at the mouth), I can work with that too.

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: I'm glad you're all so excited!
Gotta give a big shout out to Silent One for her unrelenting pursuit of getting me to reboot this thing! Thanks, little sister!
Also, Altaira asked me earlier if you all start out with and/or are aware of your powers... The answer is yes. Given the events described in the game thread prelude, metas first started appearing in late 2012/early 2013, so it's entirely feasible that you've had your powers for around 4 years or so by the time the game starts. Of course, some metas don't express as quickly as others and, as such, some of you may have only become aware of your abilities only recently (within the last year or so)...
Let's do it this way: if your character is working for the Project, they've likely been aware of you since the beginning and you've been aware of your powers for just as long. If you start the game on the other side of the coin (i.e. you're a subject/detainee) I'll let you decide exactly how long you've been aware of and/or using your abilities. You can take the whole four years or you can decide that your powers have expressed in just the last month or two... Sound like a winner?

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: "We named the suit Daddy..."
I imagine, since it's the Project that issues the codenames, Afton would end up with "Overwatch."
The suit, on the other hand, could very well end up designated "Daddy"... Hmmm... Dynamic Ability Dampening and Dispersal, type E... DADD.E!
Edit: If any of you have a picture that you'd like to use in your character entries, feel free to send them my way or post them here. Brom and Tann have already done so... figured I'd just put it out there that it was fine if the rest of you did, as well.

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: Right?
Yes, currently there are three PCs listed as assets (i.e. you work for or with Project Prometheus). Penumbra and Pickpocket are Retrieval Team agents and "Daddy" is head of R&D at the MARSH.
Depending on what sort of concept I get from Grugg, there could be another PC on that side of the coin. I'll have to see what he sends me.
Also... If I remember correctly, MARSH stands for Metahuman Analysis and Research StrongHold... I think... still haven't found the bit of my notes where I have that written... Anyway, you Asset folks would know that...
The rest of you are going to have no bloody clue as to where you are.

Got a nifty idea for your power-set just need to figure out exactly how to do it.

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: Updates
Okay... so, I've updated the character entries above per your concepts and added in my ideas as to power-sets (more detailed power sets forthcoming once I get those details worked out)...
Also, I'm still waffling on a codename for Mr Pembrook... I had thought "Overwatch" originally but, given Brom's "Big Brother" subject line, above, I kinda went "Hmmmmm... you know? I don't hate that..."

Topic: Prometheans Reboot (Closed) Subject: No rush!
Don't feel like you have to hurry, Tann-mann... I've barely started working up powers for the others, yet, and, as such, the earliest I see this thing starting is next week, so you've got time... Just a friendly reminder. The sooner I get that info, the sooner I can get to work on your character... and fill in your entry in the Q&A.

Topic: Prometheans Reboot (Closed) Subject: Soooo...
...with the addition of Grugg, Tann, and Altaira, we're at SEVEN players (I carved out room for eight but was ready to get things rolling with less, so we're in good shape, I think).
All I need, now, is solid concepts from Grugg and Tann in order to "power them up." Still need to work up powers for Brom, Chess, and Altaira but have plans to start doing that today, at some point.
I will keep recruitment open until I've finished up these characters, though... Maybe that eighth slot will fill itself, by then. If not... No worries! We're gonna play!

Topic: Genesis Q&A Subject: Soooo...
...based on the concepts I've received so far it looks like this game might very well have a lot of PvP interaction, at least, at first.
I've updated the first post of this thread with an active players list... If your entry specifies you as an "Asset," you are, at game start, working for or with the Project Prometheus. If you're listed as a "Subject," you're essentially going to start the game in a cell as you had no desire to "join" the project in the first place... These circumstances, of course, are going to place you on "opposite sides of the fence," so to speak. However; don't think I won't throw in plenty of opportunity for you to re-evaluate your positions and/or jump the fence to the other side.
I look for this to be a high-drama/high-RP type of adventure. There will be lots of action but there will also be lots of room for each of you to explore and develop your characters. Keep that in mind, too, as it will determine which side you truly end up on and where this adventure may lead if it turns into a campaign.
Creative uses of powers and/or abilities will culminate in expanded or enhanced power-sets, gear upgrades, etc. The way you decide to team up may just affect the way you choose to develop your characters. Imagination and insight are key!
Questions? Comments? Let me have 'em! Let's call this Q&A Thread "officially open!"

Topic: Prometheans Reboot (Closed) Subject: WOW!
Okay... with Tann and Altaira we've got six and that's more than enough to get started! I'm still going to hold out for a couple of days on recruitment just in case someone's interested but hasn't been on since this thing went up. (I understand Nomad might have an interest).
Also, as we've got some new players, I'll have to have a tiny bit of time to dish out power-sets and 'reform' my original concept to fit the changes. It looks like this group is going to be more prone to PvP action than the original troupe might have been... That last group worked out to about 80/20, where this one may just come in at 50/50 as to being on one side or the other at the beginning of the game.
I've got a couple of PMs out and am awaiting the receipt of a couple more, but it looks like we'll be getting started within the week.

Topic: Prometheans Reboot (Closed) Subject: Well, alrighty then!!!
Tann - See YOUR PM!
Altaira - Yay! I was hoping for a newbie and you're the newest of the new! I'd love to have you and welcome you into our whacky little neighborhood! Don't worry about the rules... I've got that covered. All i need from you is a character concept (without even thinking about powers)... Who was your character before she got powers? What was her day to day life like? What was/is her job? What does she look like? Where does she live? Etc.
Shoot me a PM and we'll get rolling!
And, hey... *facelick*... Welcome to the Inn!
