Are we posting our characters' profiles in the forum, or just messaging them between ourselves?

My thoughts...

...on character profiles, at the moment, are to have an individual entry for each PC on the first page of the Q&A thread.

Currently, I have reserved four spots for the four characters we already have (see the Persons of Interest I-IV posts, there). I figure that this will allow for each player to post their character's bio, powers, etc, plus keep track of any NPCs specific to those characters (Myriem, Dweeb, and Gunny, in Disturbance's case.)

Alternatively, I could be convinced to make a specific thread solely for the purpose of listing character profiles if you'd all prefer that I do so. That might make it easier if/when we have other folks decide they want to play without having to shuffle things around in the Q&A to fit new arrival in on page 1?

What are the groups preferences?

I like the organizational aspect of having a separate forum for character profiles, personally. It'd be the most efficient way to keep track of who's who, rather than digging through the QnA - which will inevitablely get long, knowing how much you and I can get going with the jokes, Eol.

Most of Penumbra's power list should be hidden due to her empire. The more people know about her the more likely she could have traitors lurking around.

A note on character profiles

Okay, personally, I'm fine with posting up character profiles "in the open," as I trust that whatever is there won't be used in any sort of meta fashion...For example:

  • Just because Aly Synclar is Penumbra doesn't mean that it's "common knowledge." Your character may know Aly as the head of Syncorp but have no clue whatsoever that she's also Penumbra, leader of the Shadow Council.
  • Everyone in Scyon City knows Dragonfly - she's the city's premier superhero, after all - but not everyone is aware that Dragonfly is Zareena Reed.
  • Samael has only been operating in Scyon City for a short while when the game starts and has been spotted by and/or lent aide to a number of people, yet, he's still considered to be a "myth" as he kind of goes out of his way to stay hidden (unless he can't).
  • Disturbance... wellll... that all kind of depends on exactly how he's going to fit into the game, I suppose. Is he a "freelancer" who has recently shown up in town? Is he working as an enforcer for the Shadow Council (undercover or otherwise)? Hmmmmm.....

If any of you have other preferences, let me know.

P.S. The full extent of anyone's powers wouldn't be known in-game by anyone else. Only those that are "personally observed" would be considered to be known.

I'm good with profiles being public too. I think it would be reasonable for other characters - specifically those who have been in Scyon City for a long while - to have knowledge on how Dragonfly's powers work too, since she's definitely been fighting in the open with them.

Yup!

Plus, public profiles will help me keep track of powers for "combat mediation" purposes, as well.

Also, when putting up your character's profile, please include a note as to the status of your character's identity. The way I see it, now, is like this:

Penumbra's identity is "Secret" - most of the city knows who Alyeria Synclar is but have zero clue that she's Penumbra.

Dragonfly's identity, I assume, is also "Secret" - Depending on her "day job," friends, family, and some portion of the general public know who Zareena is but have no idea that she's Dragonfly.

Samael's identity is technically "Public" - Lots of people have seen him, some have even interacted with him and know his name; however, he's generally assumed to be a myth, at this point.

Disturbance's identity is "Multiple"... ... not sure exactly how the fractured personality thing will work, just yet, but we'll figure it out.

Alright... sooo...

I've edited the "Persons of Interest" posts in the Q&A so that they contain a basic "stub" of information for each character and, also, reassigned ownership of each post to the character's player so that you may each add and/or update the information there as you see fit.

We're all mad, here!

Nope... just me exercising my phenominal cosmic mod powers.

Fleshed out Sam's entry, just now, feel free to take cues from that should you choose.

Feel free!

Any conversation regarding the game can certainly be moved to the Q&A, at this point. This thread can be reserved for any future recruitment.

 

Just give me a minute to claim one more spot in the Q&A first.
