There are still quests running on /tg/.

Sorry fot the delay guys, fell asleep right when I got home from work.

I'm going to give this new board a chance for now. If it turns out to be shit I'll move it back for the next time.

>>7829
>>Write in?
>Shitpost on PRT and /ca/
See if our little fight made it.

>>7905
Thanks for giving it a shot, I feel like most people don't realize that /qst/ won't stop being shit unless people actually run their legitimate quests here and then it will be fine.

>>7907
I concur.

>>7829
>Delve further into costuming and equipment.
the fact of the matter is that doing anything cool will be pointless for as long as we look like a chump.

Lets combine that with
>Find Blowout, try to determine his next move.
so we can get a sweet costume.

Matter of fact, we should come up with a hero name too.

We should git gud at fencing and be
>Musketeer

>>7905
>I'm going to give this new board a chance for now. If it turns out to be shit I'll move it back for the next time.

There's absolutely no reason to, this board is half baked, buggy abortion.

Several QMs have tried and said, "Yeah this is shit."

Don't let a vocal minority fuck up questing.

>>7917
>then it will be fine.
Until the lack of new blood kills it, but hey, it's not like it isn't the goal.

>>7917
>Thanks for giving it a shot, I feel like most people don't realize that /qst/ won't stop being shit unless people actually run their legitimate quests here and then it will be fine.

It will never, ever be fine. This was made on a whim without listening to the people it affects.

AND WE HAD /tg/ already

>>7930
The board has been out for, what, less than two days?

They need some people that aren't just /b/tards fucking around to set the stage, and after about two weeks this place should start gettign better.

Nobody wants us on /tg/ anyway, evidenced by the fact that a shitstorm happens once a month or so,

>>7926
It's a stupid name but I have to get it out of my head: Marshall Martial or Martial Marshall

Because stupid alliteration reasons

>>7961
>Nobody wants us on /tg/ anyway, evidenced by the fact that a shitstorm happens once a month or so,

If you were paying attention it's a vocal minority that loudly shitposts everything quest related. Most people don't give a fuck, and the people who want quests on /tg/ out number the very few shit posters.

>>7968
It really depends on what kind of fighting style we end up settling into.

I think MMA is going to be fine for now, but at some point we need to start getting into actual weaponry because it's just BETTER.

>Belligerator
If we keep on fighting rough and street style as fuck though.

Holy fuck OP please just assign us a superhero name because I can't think of any and all the suggestions have been awful

>>7926
someone suggested "blindside" as a name.

it works thematically, and we can use it cause we're so ordinary

>>7988
if they're awful to you then make a suggestion that isn't awful.

>>7975
Maybe so, but I also don't give a fuck because you too are just some biased fag that lacks credibility.

You might just be a "vocal minority" pleb too.

I don't know, I think /qst/ has potential, it just won't fulfill that potential if people don't use the damn board.

May I remind you
>2 days

>>7979
>>7926
I thought we already picked a name at the end of last thread?

If not I'm going to throw my vote to Blindside

>>8003
Honestly, they remove the SFW rule which is just BS censorship for censoring purposes and I don't know why it wouldn't work as a whole.

>>8007
I too like Blindside, vague enough to not nail down our powers. not like anyone could just find out anywhere once we get established

>>8003
The board that nobody asked for, or wanted won't live up to it's non existent potential.

Gee golly gosh I wonder why.

Good luck OP, have fun guys

>>8007
Blindside works only as long as we remain a generic fighter.

As this guy says >>8015, it's vague. I don't want us to be "vague". I want us to be an in your face badass motherfucker.

If we start using a fucking greatsword and wearing full plate, it'll seem kind of weird for us to be named Blindside instead of Lancelot or something.

>>8018
Sweet opinions. Fuck off.

Not liking the board is one thing, even explaining why is fine. But you just plan on shitposting and working yourself into a tard-rage for no reason, which is ridiculous.

>2 days

>>8030
...you know, in the worm-verse cape names are NOT fixed right?

examples include Foil Armsmaster and Kephri

>>8030
Being vague makes it hard to guess what our powers are.

>>7829
>>>/tg/

>>7858
>>7859
>>7897
It's a close race, but it looks like we're going to try to get in on the fighting ring scene. Who knows where this could lead? Writing.

>>7988
Someone suggested Nemesis a few threads back, which was my personal fave. But, I do like most of the ones being floated as well.

>>8041
Yeah, but in the serial people generally only changed their names when they completely changed colors.

Since we're still in our formative stage (Hell, we don't even know if whether or not we'll be a villain yet.) we don't want to settle on a name until we have our everything set down more.

Really, I think we should just hold off until we're well known in our own right, but I'm willing to tentatively support Blindside or Nemisis for now.

>>8051
I enjoyed Multiple Punch Man but that one can't be used for obvious reasons.

>>8045
>>8041
These are both correct and there's absolutely nothing saying that a guy named blindside wont be a bad ass, we just need to establish our reputation first.

On the other hand how shitty would we look if we picked some name way too big for us as new kid on the block and got shrekt?

>>8064
or when it suited them, Armsmaster was a re-branding for example. Foil changed when she got tinker support for a different set of weapons.

>>8074
Armsmaster had to rebrand because he fucked up and essentially couldn't be Armsmaster anymore.

>Raiden
>Prime Blitz

>>8084
>Fake ID
>Alias
Shit those are actually kinda cash

>>8084
I really like Nemesis and Blindside.

Blindside especially if we get to being really a mobile type of fighter. Hit and run, quick in and out style

>>8102
You should make those some Strangers!

>>8102
>>8106
I'm partial to Alias, Nemesis, Nyx (since it's a wordplay on nix, which means nothing), and Prime Blitz personally.

>>8102
>Fake ID / Alias
>Has the ability to take on the form, personality, and even memories of anyone he's touched in the last 24 hours
>The only problem is that he doesn't have access to their minds; He just clones his own body into them and then sits back for the ride, pickign and choosing when he overrides the person he turned into carefully.

>>8128
I don't like those for us, we're not a stranger. We're more of a low tier thinker/brute mix.

As I said before, I think we should wait until our combat style and role in the game of Rain City is more set in stone before we pick something though.

I will say that I want to specialize in a melee weapon and name ourselves something that relates to said weapon.

You crack your neck. As your browse your phone, you notice that your hands are beginning to show the brown splotching of light bruising from the night before, a grim sort of trophy. You can’t help but recall the rush of taking on so many attackers at once, and from getting up face to face with one of the physically strongest villains in the city. You go into your contacts, searching for the one given to you by Clark the other night. Your finger hesitates a moment, then pushes send.

{Fight club? How do I get in}

You stare at the screen for a few moments, then realize that a response probably won’t come quite so quickly. Triscuits crunch in your mouth. You should really put your mind to thinking up a cape name before the faggots at /ca/ give you something stupid, you think to yourself. Nemesis? Blindside? Many Punch Man? You snigger a little at the thought of the last one, and make a mental commitment to see if Netflix has added any new anime at some point later. Your reverie is broken: the phone vibrates in your hand, jangly pop-ping sound at odds with the serious matter at hand.

{fighting or watching?}

That gives you pause for thought: should you get stuck in right away and take control of your public image, or just watch to get a feel for things first?

>Fighting.
>Watching.
>Write in?

>>8041
Weaver is a better example than Khepri. She didn't pick Khepri.

>>8147
Or do a psychic paper bit and minor alterations to physiology

>>8174
>>Watching
let's work them mental muscles! get some bead on the other fighters

>>8174
>Fighting.

>>8174
If Wildbow was running this, I'd pick the smart, safe option.

But Jim Mac isn't as vicious about his RP. He wants to have a good time, we want to have a good time, so let's pick the most entertaining option.

>>8147
Alias
you ever read a book called "Skin Game"
cause you just described Goodman Gray

>I will say that I want to specialize in a melee weapon and name ourselves something that relates to said weapon.
Umbrella Samurai was suggested...but now that people are off the idea of carrying around a cane that right out.

>>8175
and Skitter didn't pick her name either.

>>8174
>Write in?
"a little column A maybe a little column B"

>>8174
>Fighting.

>>8197
You know, people always say Wildblow is super brutal, but I just don't see it. Things get bad, but not many people (important people at least) die, considering the levels of danger.

>>8220
unlike God, Wildblow DOES roll dice

>>8174
Shit, do we know anything about how this place would react to a cape? Because if any money is involved either it's only capes or only normal people and if they have a thinker or something on call to tell if their fights are being rigged I'd rather we keep all our fingers, so maybe don't use our powers unless we absolutely need to?

that said
>fighting

>>8220
You haven't seen his campaigns.

>>8220
Have you read his Lausanne RP? He killed half the players in their first session.

>>8220
He is brutal, but he seems to enjoy offsetting it with silver linings.

Fighting it is!

And you're right, I haven't read any of the campaigns. I should though, shouldn't I.

>>8199
>you ever read a book called "Skin Game" cause you just described Goodman Gray
I'll be sure to check it out.

That kind of annoys me though because I've been playing an OC Quest and someone was going to have that ability. Shit.

>>8237
>>8251
I've tried getting into his campaigns but I don't comprehend reddit, I don't like reddit, and I don't like the people that use reddit.

I comment on the new chapters he puts out sometimes though, only when I have something to say.

>>8304
it's the last book in the dresden files...

don't read it just for him, just figured thats where you get the idea...I that said, the dresden files is a good series.

>>8304
Skin Game is the one of the recent Dreden Files books. I highly highly recommend them. It's legit magic and wizards in modern day Chicago. there's great escalation in the villains and troubles and the character is awesome. James Marsters, who played Spike in Buffy, does the audio books and by book 2-3 he really starts nailing the character. I hate audio books and I have all of this series.

>>8251
seconding this. half the players in Lausanne are dead and so are some of their replacements- and as far as I know, Simurgh hasn't even done anything yet.

>>8313

If you're using reddit you're in the wrong place entirely. They mainly work off of IRC and google docs.

>>8323
Shes started doing shit, they currently think shes an angel who can reduce side effects from powers, restore memory loss, allow for more control, and a whole bunch of other things.

The person who managed to touch her got mindfucked, slashed someones throat, and ended up flying off in a confused state.

Shits definitely going to hit the fan.

>>8319
>all the audio-love
YES except book 13, and that made me sad...
he's a FANTASTICAL NARRATOR though and you can get all of the books on audio on a torrent if you're cheap...

>>8317
>>8319
One of my friends was big into the Dresden Files, but it sounds like a majorly disappointing ride for someone like me.

From his descriptions it just seems to lack a great deal of internal consistency.
>He needs to prepare his spells in advance
>Whatever, fuck it, he can throw fireballs whenever he feels like now

Not that I've read any of it and have a leg to stand on judging it.

>>8325
Well then, how the fuck do I get in on that shit?

>>8174
>Fighting.

>>8323
>>8335
Is this some kind of roleplay sequel to Worm? Simurgh shenanigans in an alternate dimension?

>>8313
Yeah Reddit is only convenient as a platform to link other content too.

Most of its through docs and IRC, and it's pretty Sekret Club which is nice because it's selective.

>>8351
>He needs to prepare his spells in advance
some spells, others he needs to prepare the formula in advance(like the fireball, mostly though that was refining how he does it)

>>8357
No, prequel, it's an RP set in Lausanne 2002 when Ziz first showed up

>>8341
They went back and redid it with him. Here's the news on it from Butcher's website.

>>8351
There is consistensy when you get the feel fr the whole thing. Fire is kinda Dresden's thing and easy for him to manipulate but he doesn't have much control without prep. There is a good deal of prep, but unfortunately there are occasions that the prep is mentioned after the pull and sometimes mentions events we dont know about or might have been in the comics for all I know.

You can apply to get in, but you generally gotta know one of them to get much traction.

That, or read a bunch then open your own. That's a fast in. As a massive fan of Weaver Dice campaigns I have links to all of them.

>>8351
>>8357
Theres literally an IRC linked on the subreddit, it goes to the primary irc channel for parahumans and has everything you'd need to go further in the title section.

>>8383
>>8384
Well, I guess things can't be easy, huh?

I've read all of Worm, Pact, and Twig (So far.) and I'm not autistic so I should be able to *worm* my way in there ;)

Can I get a link to a starting point so I can see what I'm getting into?

>>8411
OK, I'm a bit out of the Loop. Are Pact and Twig other stories by the Worm author set in the same Universe?

>>8430
same author, different universes.

{Fighting.}

No use dancing around the inevitable.

{7pm E 29th and cartwright, building with red sign. go down the alley, 2nd door on right. If cape come in costume}

You put the phone back down, and chomp at another Triscuit distractedly. You wonder what the payout is like? Must be better than coffee shop wages at the very least. A gulp of water washes away the last cracker, and you put the dishes in the washer. You kick off your damp socks in favour of slippers and change out of your running clothes. About five hours to kill.

You take your ersatz costume out of its hiding place in the closet. The overall aesthetic isn’t bad: black pants, shirt and jacket, with a garishly coloured dirtbiking helmet. Not easily concealable, but definitely better than nothing. You wonder if you should bring it with you to the fight. Would they have a way of telling capes from non-capes? You can’t imagine they’d be running an operation like this without some sort of screening.

You idly browse Facebook for a little while, but decide that your time would probably be better spent on something else.

Maximum Shitposting

>>8458
>Go online, try to get control over rumours about the previous night’s fight.
I feel like we should ditch the helmet and just cover our face with the yellow scarf.

>>8430
Different Universes.

Pact is modern occult, Twig is alternate history biopunk.

Twig is considered better than Pact generally (At least that's my opinion.) and it's ongoing, so I'll go ahead and give you the link to the beginning of it

https://twigserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/24/taking-root-1-1/

Sylvester is fucking great, he reminds of myself (And I say that knowing full-well I sound like a douchebag.).

>>8458
If it's at all possible to not be identified as a cape, we should take that route.

At the end of the day unless they can do a genetic test or some shit we don't have any overt supernatural abilities, we could probably say "I'm just really good at fighting." and be set. Plausible deniability, and it'll make us seem like a total fucking badass if everyone thinks we're just a normal guy that happens to be capable of pushing cape shit in.

There are trump powers that interfere with and sense other powers. Our cover will get blown as soon as we meet someone like that, and we'll be exposed as a faker. Better to just take the cape name.

>>7829
> obligitary "rapes of cane city"

>>8509
1.) those are rare
2.) "I got in a fight the other day and found out I'm really good at it, you saying I have a Legit Superpower?" is a legitimate and truthful thing to say

>>8520
>rape and canes
you have my attention...

>>8488
Thanks man. It's about time I learned how to use irc anyway.

>>8509
I'm just floating the idea, it's something we might want to think about.

Everyone is talking about how they want to be named Blindside to keep our powers somewhat incognito anyways, if we can manage to stump whatever Trump that happens to be there we may as well take a crack at it.

>>8531
2. No it isn't, we know we have a superpower. It isn't legitimate at all. It's a lie, the very opposite of truthful.

1. Even if they're rare, we just need to run into a single one. It'll happen eventually, unless we die, and I don't want to bet on that.

>>8544

>>8478
>>8479

>>8488
Looks like shitposting with a side of Blowout it is!

>>8552
We know we have a superpower. Going down that route would mean we would say we don't have a superpower, or we would feign ignorance of our superpower. That is not technically true by any definition of the word.

>>8572
"I got in a fight the other day" does not specify that day was yesterday.

>>8590
wasn't it the day before yesterday?

>>8590
I never said anything about when the fight occurred. It doesn't matter. That is the part where your bureaucratic speech passes. The part it doesn't pass is the time we go around saying "Power? I don't have a power, I just hit people until they stop moving." That is the part I have an issue with. That is the part that does not pass the truth test by any standard. I don't care about when the fight occurred. It does not matter. What matters is that we will be claiming to be unpowered, when that is false.

>>8590
It is literally impossible for you to not know you have a super power int his world.

Triggering is a pretty intense experience, and your physical makeup/brain literally changes. These changes are noticeable.

Alright, I'm probably gonna start trying to creep my way into this little society.

Not soon, but within the next month. I've got finals, I can't afford to be fucking around trying to ingratiate myself with people and getting into all this internet shit.

>>8800
Thats why I had to get my name off the list too, especially since my summer plans are up in the air.

You pocket your phone and slide into the chair at your desk, plasticy black leather just a little too cold on your exposed skin. You flip the lid open on your laptop and plug in your headphones. It was about time to see just what the internet had to say about the encounter last night. You start a playlist on Youtube and open windows for both PHO and /ca/.

You scroll through pages of assorted threads. A cape battle in itself isn’t huge news, but some of the more specific sub-boards and generals could have something. You try /rcg/ first. Quickly skipping past the first half of the thread, you slow down as you reach the more recent posts. Some stuff about Decider as usual, as well as back and forth shitposting about other members of the local Protectorate. Finally, discussion about the fight at the club start appearing:

[Was anyone else at Blowout’s club last night? Pic related cucked the shit out of some Red Boys, who is he? Don’t recognize his macklemore ass costume]

The post is accompanied by a cell-phone camera picture of a male figure in a fighting stance. It’s dark, and there are a few people standing in the way, but you can make out a grey hoodie and a yellow scarf. It’s you, a thought that at once seems absurd and exhilirating.

[>going to clubs
I want normies to leave my board]

[what’s his power? Does he have a name?]

[didn’t look like he had one unless you count Jackie Chan kung fu, he didn’t even get hit, beat up 4 guys]

[name??]

[I think his power might be super reflexes or something.]

[lol what a retarded costume
>homeless capes]

[I got this guys. His name is Trash Man. He fights dumpster related crime.]

[kek]

[Many Punches Man. Maybe if I do 100 squats a day I can also beat up gangsters.]

You laugh at loud that someone else thought of that as well.

[I dunno I think the yellow scarf is pretty cool, kinda weeb but still cool. Ronin maybe?]

[dont be retarded thats probably just an emergency costume or something]

>>8844
You’re struck by an idea. You pull out your phone, and shoot a text to the number Blowout gave you.

{Trying to pick a good cape name, suggestions? Don’t want to get stuck with something dumb like yours.}

You hope he realizes it’s meant as a joke; recalling what you know about the colourful villain, you’re sure he would.

You continue browsing while you wait for a response, this time on ParaHumans Online. The discussion here is markedly more civil. You open a thread entitled “Rain City Mystery Hero?” It’s a fairly recent thread, made four hours ago. The theme of the thread is similar to /rcg/: speculation over names and powers, with theories ranging from echolocation to limited time-slowing to some that are unnervingly close to being accurate. The names are generally less terrible and memey than the ones on 4chan, though that’s not saying much.

Your phone vibrates on your desk.

{Hey! Glad you texted me, I was worried you thought you were too cool. Been lying low all morning, and I actually thought up some names already. Here’s what I’ve got:
Blindside (cause your power is pretty hard to spot)
Nemesis (sounds badass)
Ronin (kinda Japanese and exotic)
Street Cleaner/Sweeper (clean the streets of your enemies!)
Takedown (duh)

I have some more but those are the top ones. What do you think?}

>>8834
Yeah man, I met some guys over on /tg/ that wanted to let me in on some Unknown Armies roleplay on irc as well, but I had to flake out because I just straight up didn't have the time for it.

But considering I don't have a deadline to weasel out of this time, I need to start getting into this shit.

>>8850
>Write in!
>Fucking Badass Motherfucker

Seriously though
>Blindside
The other Anons have swayed me and holding out until we master a weapon is dumb, so I'm just gonna cave.

Nemisis might be cool, but the problem is that there are probably like 40 different capes already calling themselves Nemisis. Yeah it sounds badass, but "generic" badass, y'know?

>>8885
Why not nigger Nemesis

>>8850
>Blindside

Any of these work.

>>8885

Also, I forgot:
we should totally call out blindside from ripping some of those names off 4chan.

>>8921
How do we know he didn't shitpost in it.

>>8850
>Not introducing yourself to the thread with a timestamp and asking for suggestions

>Blindside.

>>8850
You know, it occurs to me: How often do people post pictures of themselves in costume with a timestamp on /ca/ just so they can engage in some serious shitposting?

I'd do it all the time. All. The. Time.

Probably post pictures of unconscious people I beat the shit out of too and make fun of them, it'd be pretty fucking sweet.

It'd be sure to get a cape some serious street cred seriously quickly too if he latches onto the grapevine like that as well.

>>8929
>>8930
That's what i would do, too.

>>8930
It also makes you a known 4channer.

Although in one campaign I did recall one cape had posted youtube videos of him making dipp'n dots with his frost breath

Corporate capes are a thing

You think about it for a good few minutes.

{Blindside. Nemesis was my second pick, but it’s a bit generic. Thanks.}

You set about furiously posting in every thread you can, trying to establish Blindside as the canon. You don’t let on about powers just yet, only the name. It’s met with resistance, especially on 4chan, but you seem to be making at least a little bit of headway. Another text.

{Send me a pic of your costume, let’s see what we’re working with here.}

You hesitate. Could the flashy villain be trusted? He was a villain, after all. Then again, he seems to have been pretty decent so far. You arrange your costume on a patch of floor with no identifiable features, and take a picture. You have to admit, though the idea is okay, the execution is pretty weak.

You get back to shitposting while you wait for a response, and put on an episode of Bojack Horseman in the background. You’re very comfortable here, in your slippers, a blanket subconsciously thrown over your shoulders. You almost consider skipping out on the fight to stay in and watch TV. The phone vibrates, and the brief consideration of a normal evening is dispelled.

{lol}

{That’s terrible. Tell you what, I’ll get you in touch with my costume guy, and I’ll even cover half of it. Aren’t I generous? If you need the cash, I have a job lined up that should pay pretty well.}

What kind of motif should our better costume have?

For sure we should have a third eye on our mask/helmet because it'd be fucking dope, relevant to our powers, and relevant to our name.

Other than that, I don't really know. I do think we should keep somewhat of a Hotline Miami look that we've been getting into though.

This music reminds me of that kind of shit too.

>>9087
>Accept the offer.

Well that was pretty easy. Writing.

Whipped it up quick, I'm horribad at drawing.

Obviously took cues from Hotline Miami, as I said.

Eye is there to look dope, horns are also there to look dope, but also for if we ever need to headbutt someone.

We should get Kevlar added to the vest to help protect our vitals, but other than that we should keep out arms as unobstructed as possible so we can still swing good.

Steel toed boots, and probably just bog-standard cargo pants to go with it for carrying a bunch of shit.

Hand-wraps or some specialized gloves for punching fags in the face.

I don't know if we should even bother hiding our skin completely, but if we decide to go that route just wearing something formfitting and long-sleeved underneath our vest that also covers the neck should do it.

What are you getting yourself into?

{Sweet! His place is here, 22nd floor. Tell em I sent you. No masks either, go in plainclothes. Personal policy of his, but you can trust him. Bad for business if he does anything with it.}

Attached is a screenshot of Google maps, showing an address downtown. Another text from Blowout,

{Think of ideas on the way, I already let him know you’re heading over there. Hope you didn’t have plans this afternoon!}

You pocket your phone without a reply. Blowout certainly isn’t passive. You throw on your purple RCU hoodie and jacket combo and start lacing up your shoes. You hope that Blowout’s tailor is trustworthy.

The bus ride downtown feels long. Droplets of rain streak the windows of the packed vehicle, and you feel a comfortable sense of tranquility, headphones substituting the hubbub of commuters for relaxing beats. You try thinking of costume ideas, but it’s hard to think of any one thing that really jumps out at you.

>>9484
Have some fun with it.

Besides, it makes sense we'd end up looking kind of funky because Blowout is the one getting our costume made.

Blindside/Blowout

Either way, we may as well have fun with it.

Movement. Armored vest, helmet, gauntlets, steel-toed boots for sure.

Elbow and knee pads maybe.

>>9529
Shallow puddles splash underfoot as you stride down the busy sidewalk. You check your phone to reassure you of your destination. The building looms overhead, an uber modern piece of glass and steel, far from what one would normally associate with super villainy. You imagine the owner of the building is willing to overlook some under-the-table tenants for the sake of some extra money. The lobby is opulent, yet cold. Low black benches flank carefully sculpted potted plants, tranquil music playing quietly over concealed speakers. A man in a plain black suit stands next to the elevator bank at the far end of the room, he eyes you suspiciously, but doesn’t move to stop you as you approach. You press the call button, the doorman looming over even you. After an excruciating length of time, the doors slide open and you dart inside. You jam the close button, and then hit 22. The elevator ascends noiselessly. The back half of the car is a rounded glass window, allowing a rain-streaked vantage over the city. You see a handful of partially finished skyscrapers throughout your view, the scaffold-coverings on all but two or three sporting the word “Carmichael” in blocky, blue capital letters. You recognize the name; many of the empty lots and construction sites in The Bricks had the same logo plastered across fences and containers.

“Maybe that means the city really is trying to gentrify it. Wonder how Meatgrinder feels about that. Guess it doesn’t matter now!” you think to out loud. It’s just hitting you that you helped in the capture of a major gang leader.

>>9538
The elevator doors part, opening into a well appointed reception. A woman in her early thirties sits behind a desk, looking rather bored. You approach with a visible air of caution,

“I’m Blowout’s… associate, I think I’m expected?”

She glances at her computer screen, then back to you.

“Of course,” she replies dryly, “you can go right in.” She gestures to the only door in the room. You decide against smalltalk and follow her directions.

The room beyond is large, but cluttered. Tables, boxes, mannequins, and all manner of textile equipment is scattered throughout seemingly at random, the entire scene at odds with the rest of the building’s reservedness. A spindly, graying man works frantically on what appears to be a sock of some sort, muttering and taking down notes as he goes. He doesn’t appear to notice you; you cough to get his attention after a few moments pass. He jumps at the noise, then shakes his head.

“Blindside, correct?” he asks, gesturing for you to come over. His small, round face is crowned with a mop of salt and pepper hair in a style that one could only associate with the profession of mad science.

“Yes,” you nod.

“Blowout says that you’re new to the cape business, no real identity yet. True carte blanche. Very exciting, very exciting. Gives me more freedom to work my artistry. Payment is arranged already, so no need to discuss that. Blowout sent me some information about you, and I’ve sketched some ideas. Of course they’re open to modification, and we’ll need your measurements before any real work can be done, but I find it easiest to have a picture in mind from the get go.”

He beckons you over to look at a series of coloured drawings strewn about the table in front of him. He did all of this in the 45 minutes it took to get here? You wonder if he has some sort of power.

“Tell me what you think of these…”

I guess I'll dump a little bit of art. Since we have such a fuckhueg post limit and all.

So at this point, I'm going to turn it over to you. See if you can, as a group, come to some form of consensus in regards to general costume idea/motif, as well as what specifications you'd like.

I'm going to go have dinner, but I'll be monitoring the thread from my phone. I'll start things back up in about 45 minutes, does that sound good?

This except instead of the yellow triangle it's a grey eye and full face

>>9563
Yeah dude.

Well, obviously I'm going to vote for the shit I came up with over here >>9352

Hotline Miami Demon Biker.

We should have a third eye on our helmet to go along with our name and abilities. This eye could have a bright ass spotlight in it that we can use to blind people, but that's just me brainstorming and not something we may be able to afford. If it could look around too though, that would be badass.

I like the horns for headbutting too, but I'm willing to scrap them if people think it's too over the top.

A vest with Kevlar woven on the inside.

Knee pads, elbow pads. Lightweight and unobtrusive as possible.

We definitely need some kind of fighting gauntlets too, here again lightweight is the name of the game.

As for the coloration, I'm partial to darker colors, specifically dark red and black. I'm willing to go neon too, as long as it's paired with a darker color.

If we go with the eye-lamp thing, eye should have the coloration of whatever light we want to shine in someones face, and I recommend this color clash with the rest of our outfit because it'll stand out more (Unless you guys think we should go with white, because that goes with everything.).

I'm definitely NOT down for spiked gloves, because we don't really want to fucking kill anyone or anything like that.

>>9651
I disagree with the horns because they provide easy handholds and lend nothing to a proper headbutt. Overall, I like the rest of the gear specs.

Fine, fuck it. Bomber jacket is go.

Helmet with eye is go (Horns debatable, size and shape is up in the are along with whether they should exist at all.).

Kevlar plates are go.

Knee/Elbow pads are go.

I'm assuming you want some kind of gauntlets too for hitting people with? I'll say that's go too.

Only thing left is coloration. basically, we should have two colors.

One color for the helmet, jacket, pads, and gauntlets. All the armored parts, essentially.

And then we should have another color for the other areas that will be cloth, most likely.

I'm casting in for dark red on black, respectively.

>>9747
I'm not 100% on the dark red, it might be too edgy. We might even consider some weird color like hot pink or cyan instead.

Maybe even multi-color neon vomit. It could possibly break up our silhouette a bit, make it fractionally harder to hit us?

>>9770
I'm definitely down for the yellow scarf. Matter of fact, if we end up starting our own gang "The Yellow Scarves" seems like a damn solid choice considering the other gangs are the White Colors and the Red Boys.

>>9778

Back at my computer! It seems we have the physical bit down, the colour is all that's left yes?

So far black is the clearcut frontrunner for primary. I've seen yellow, hot pink, cyan, red, and dark green/blue proposed as accents. In addition, the eye needs a colour, if you want it separate from the rest.

Let's get some votes in!

>>9872
we can do the morally upstanding villain thing.

we'll rob a bank, but we'll try to avoid damage or injury while we do.
