Talk:Villainy

Damn! I have DC adventures, which is pretty much Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition.--Notsooldpervert (talk) 15:36, 19 December 2017 (CET)

Blood of Heroes / DC Heroes is hands down the BEST superhero roleplaying system ever devised. Unfortunately there is some confusion over who owns the rights to they system, meaning that no one can move forward with the game system. It's really annoying for fans like me. If I were you I'd buy a copy of Blood of Heroes: Special Edition while they are still out there. I'll put a link to the amazon entry on the main page, as putting it here may hinder people's ability to edit the page (depending on how it works with an external link on the page). --Elerneron (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2017 (CET)

With a story about super powers, I'm kinda half-tempted to insert Ellen into this. And actually, I wouldn't even need to re-create her, her powers also allow her to cross dimensions, and it is even justifiable that she might come to this world in order to study and get the idea of how a society may structure itself with people who have superpowers suddenly injected into the world. She would likely be more or less a neutral observer, but have a great interest in talking to headliner heroes and world leaders to figure out how they are organizing things with all that's going on. I know she is a little op, (thus all the more need for her to be more neutral,) and that a portion of her powers set is a bit close to that of Breecher, but I thought she may be interesting in how she may interact in this world. (Oh, and if Ellen ever decided to pick up a superhero name, she would likely go by "Raven's Child." Jemini (talk) 14:38, 20 December 2017 (CET)

Feel free to do so, if you wish. I know I haven't opened the story up officially, because I haven't settled out the format and written up the rules yet; but you know me and my work well enough that I doubt that is necessary with you. If you feel froggie, feel free to jump . . . if not, I look forward to reading Ellen's story if and when you want to add it. It's good to note that the people have been dealing with super powers in some capacity since the 1950's. It's just become more accessible for the last twelve years or so. Being able to buy powers adds a new dynamic to the whole thing. --Elerneron (talk) 00:14, 21 December 2017 (CET)

I think I'll add her, but I may not be writing much content for her all that quickly. I will have to see how the setting is panning out before I try anything of the sort, but at the very least I have gotten some idea of character profiles. Also, I may need some help with the image. I describe what she's wearing in the RP which is quite thoroughly buried by now, but that can be thrown out as we are probably assuming some time and new clothes by now. The important points are appearing to be approximately 5 or so years of age and having dark hair and brown eyes.

I should be able to find something for you. I'm being a little pickier than normal with the pictures on this one and only using full body images. I'll look for an image for her shortly. If you need help with the Blood of Heroes stats, just let me know. Actually, if you can give me an idea of the following, I could probably do it:

How she compares to other human beings, especially how far from human average / human maximum in the nine attributes:

Dexterity (Physical Action and Reaction) Strength (Physical Effect) Body (Physical Resistance and Damage Capacity)

Intelligence (Mental Action and Reaction) Will (Mental Effect) Mind (Physical Resistance and Damage Capacity)

Influence (Spiritual/Social/Emotional Action and Reaction) Aura (Spiritual/Social/Emotional Effect) Spirit (Spiritual/Social/Emotional Resistance and Damage Capacity)

As well as Powers and Skills she has and a general idea of the limits of said powers. Any advantageous or disadvantageous qualities about her or her circumstances that might translate to advantages and drawbacks.

How does this look? (Keep in mind I am skilled at Photoshop, so if it's close I may be able to get things in line with what you want. For instance, recoloring is relatively easy.

Personally, when I envision Ellen, the picture I have in mind is a little like the original black-and-white version of Wednesday Adams, same style to her exept not the gloomy version we have with the feature film remakes. (Basically, think Wednsday with all the weirdness except a little bit happier. Not too much happier though.) So, the big issues, yes to the child appearance, no to the style of dress. Also, she would prefer to wear things that are fairly simple yet elegant in appearance, kinda like a child in their formal church cloths except that she doesn't look awkward while wearing them and instead carries it like an adult woman wearing a formal dress.

Give that a whirl. Refresh the page if it isn't a completely different picture. --Elerneron (talk) 04:43, 21 December 2017 (CET)

That's a LOT closer to what I envisioned. The only contention is that she looks to be about 14 rather than 5, but I imagine it might be a little hard to find that in younger. Jemini (talk) 06:53, 21 December 2017 (CET)
