RP noob here to suggest another thread :p
So, looking through the Backstories, I see a lot of what some call "cosmic class" supers...
Street class: comparable to baseline human (Daredevil, Nightwing, Rorschach)
Hero class: able to easily take down baseline humans (Spiderman, Static Shock, Quicksilver)
Paragon class: able to occupy several Hero class supers (Loki, Statesman, Shazam)
Cosmic class: able to occupy many Hero class supers or a few paragon class supers (Thanos, Captain Marvel, Superman)
.... Most RP threads are in the Street to Hero range, so super powerful characters can be out of place. So I'm thinking of a thread idea to bust out those super powerful characters :) I'm thinking in the Thor to Thanos range (MCU); after that is actual gods (Odin, Ego, Beyonder) and that's a bit much to interact with.
Scenario I'm thinking: one of these actual god class beings has a Thing of Great Power, which extremely powerful supers would be interested to rule/fix the world, and offers them to be whisked away to a far away place to battle over this Thing of Great Power. I picture a long-drawn out battle with a rotating cast that may never decisively win the Thing of Power, but it can still enjoyably demonstrate the abilities of these characters.
Sound like fun? :)

I'm game. Just need to figure which of my Cosmic Class titans I'd wanna play. Probably Emerald because she's a bit of a jill-of-all-trades.
I'd also need to refresh my memory on how the class system works in CoT. Orrr.. I could tell you what Emerald is capable of and see what you think she'd be in CoT?
Also, could play my namesake Timothius. And since he's who I have as my avatar... probably should. XD He's a healer type.
In both cases, though, these characters are normally Street/Hero Class heroes, but I have played them more powerful both in CoH and D&D
No the class system has nothing to do with CoT, it's just a way to group individuals in superhero culture. Sounds like Emerald would be a better fit for cosmic class combat though :)

My best candidate for a cosmic-level character would be [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/71761#comment-71761]Gunnhilde Swan, a.k.a. Crux[/url]. As a half-Vanir (on her mother's side) her strength is at the low end of the Asgardian-normal range, maybe a bit stronger than MCU Spider-Man. As a half-Alfar (on her father's side), her reflexes are very good, but probably Spidey would have the edge here. But her abilities as a mage-smith, and the potential equipment she can make, gives her a big boost. With the gear she had in [url=https://cityoftitans.com/forum/strong-strong-wind-cool-breeze-city]Kartanian's [i]Cool Breeze in the City[/i] storyline[/url], she could hold her own against most of the big names in Asgard in physical combat. Four years later, she has improved her gear quite a bit, and she's stretched her abilities to craft on-the-fly.

So all these "any being" stuff is just to communicate that. yes it's space, but you're -- by default-- good to go as far as breathing, temperature, pressure, moisture etc go. However, if you use an effect that hinders breathing, temperature, etc those still take place. I guess primarily aquatic lifeforms are kinda left out, but if you're trapped under water, maybe you're not "cosmic class" :p
And the "any desires" basically mean you can change the nature of earth any way you wish: no poverty, no racism, world domination, world no longer exists, whatever you're very powerful character would like to change about the earth. Just hand wavy reasoning to compel any character to join :p

Make no mistake, he is a CoX fan just like me and looks forward to CoT. I actually got the kickstarter tier that lets you get goodies for two with him in mind. :)
Okay cool :p I did notice the account is years old. Was going to say, if you wanna play two characters go for it.
Didn't mean for this to be everyone on Gal, we need another "villain", but he's a necromancer so he can conjure undead to occupy others.

Originally, I was using the Mospeada Cyclone armor, but Gunni likes Bubblegum Crisis styles better. ^_^
BGC first aired back in the 80's and was heavily influenced by the Blade Runner movie; note the style of the corporate bad guys' HQ, and the name of Priscilla "Priss" Asagiri's band, the Replicants. ^_^ Kenichi Sonada did both original character designs and hard-suit designs; the 2040 reboot only used the same hard-suit designs.
I'm not sure where the motorcycle armor came from, but it looks sleeker and fits better with the Sonada stlye. It may be an AD Police design (same universe as BGC.)

DesViper: No worries. If anything, I worry about not giving your guy's powers enough respect. Part of the trouble with Mastermind is when someone hears "minion" they assume "pushover." Cinema and games enforce the assumption. But an undead summoned by a Cosmic Class necromancer would be no pushover. Moreover, it's kinda hard to reign in my teleporter narratively. Why doesn't she just teleport enemies into the nearest black hole? Because uh... Goodguys don't kill. And before you ask, yes, killing an intelligent undead counts as killing. I've had a perfectly civil chat with an Eoxian, and there's no reason to go about killing a person just because they look like this: https://imgur.com/vTGNDmx

Her parents were not bad people, by the standards of Norse mythology, but take a look at what Uncle Völund did for revenge, and remember that her mother was a chooser of the slain.

The Crux armor is tough enough to take hits from WWII era antitank weapons, and it does enhance Gunni's strength from close to Spider-Man levels to near-top-end Asgardian Hero levels. But I think I'm going to add in some damage from the fireballs and ice spears I missed when reading Desviper's post, that Galrithius might not have noticed while concentrating on the Katana.
BTW, from that last post, it seems the shield stopped or deflected the katana, but did it take significant damage in doing so? Or is it a magical construct that regenerates?
Edit: Not that those are the only choices, if it's made of a tough material, it could've been used to deflect the Katana without taking much damage.

Same as Mentalian's weapons: they're has hard as diamonds but not nearly as brittle. Normal ones have energy absorbing properties (not kinetic energy), Gal's have vampiric properties. So the katana hits the shield and doesn't damage it at all unless this steel is super hard, but even if it's unbreakable, it's still a baseline human at the other side, so he's pushed back.

For Emmy's player I'm giving a heads-up that he'll be posting as soon as possible, but is just not awake enough right now.
My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. Who is the real hero?
With the third person referentials, I'm losing track of what's thought and aloud, are all blue text out loud?
Bit of backstory: Galrithius is the leader of Necrobia, a nation/coven/cult in a parallel dimension with earth. He's human, but has a gene that gives him affinity for "blueblood magic" which does literally turn his blood blue, and pale his skin. These sorcerers call themselves "bluebloods" (even if they're not from Necrobia), and call all others* "redbloods" as a slur, kinda like "gringo" or "colonizer".
*even non-humans, even other creatures with biologically blue blood, or organic life without blood (but not robots of course).

[s]Okay so do we want actual confirmation from the Booming Voice?[/s] Actually, I've got a better idea ;)
Btw, Galrithius is being more violent because he's under the impression you'd just be returned to earth. He doesn't wantonly kill.
Also, anyone who joins later would be imperceptibly later in earthtime, since there's a time dilation thing in the arena.

This works out nicely. :) And yeah it's cool. I get it that Gal doesn't wontonly kill. Doesn't mean the characters are sure of that. I'm sure it'll work out in the end.
When I said Jill-of-all-trades, what I failed to add was "master of some". XD She is a super bard, more or less. Knows every language, has a really good ability to sense lies/truth/motives/etc, and is a-*gets silenced before I give a spoiler Emerald doesn't like people knowing about* XD
Point is, Emerald might believe Gal isn't a killer for the heck of it by the end of this rp.
Can't have Servi all over Mits during this discussion :p
When we get to that dispell, do give some indication of distance, since we don't know 1) how far away Emerald is, 2) how big "massive dispel" is, or 3) how fast it travels. Mean's the difference between teleporting, flying, or dodging :p

Hmm... spell speed is something that hadn't occurred to me. So used to D&D and MMOs where the spell "travels" instantly to its full radius.
Well you said "massive" which I assume intends to reach Galrithius meters to kilometers away, so if that's instant it'd be a very powerful spell :p Also assuming it'd effect Mits too.
Unless it's just for the Servi nearby.

You are right, of course, just saying I hadn't thought about that. XD
But what I was imagining was like a football field massive. Large enough to catch everyone in it. And yeah it would catch Mittens, unfortunately, but to be fair, I don't know how much of her powers are magic in nature.
Speed... let's go with a couple seconds to cover the area? Starts at its source (Emerald) and spreads out from there?
That's kinda a long time, so it's balanced :)
Btw, Galrithius doesn't know it's a dispel, just a hunch.

Carmen just let Crux know that six out of seven anomalies noted with regard to dead-Emerald also applied to the second Emerald, which probably means second-Emerald is also an illusion. If there had been any servi handy to try to drain the illusion's life essence. then it would be seven of seven. ^_^

LOL nice, both of you. I figured Gal was going based on pure experience. But it's neat to hear the background on Crux's mechanics for finding out Emmy's second illusion is, in fact, just an illusion.
Yeah the way I'm playing Emy is a mix of D&D and CoH. She's bard in D&D, but I played her as several things in CoH. :) Gravity Controller and Kinetic Melee were the two major ones I had loads of fun with. XD
...have I mentioned she's an archaeologist? XD So a nearby ruins was almost kid in candy story territory for her.
Lolz! I'd like to add that I really appreciate being among awesome RPr's. Timothius and I hear such horror stories from a friend of ours about the facepalm-inducing RPrs he encounters. Just one small example being, "Tech can't see through magic illusions, but magic can easily see through tech holograms and such."
My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. Who is the real hero?
Low-key not sure how "you'll have to fight for" translates into "search these ruins" but archaeologist gotta do ;p

Unfortunately, unless it's a device to protect the world from the Soul, Crux won't be thinking it's useful enough. So she'll have to keep looking, until she runs out of places or somebody decides that the Big Disembodied Voice did in fact mean we were supposed to fight for it and gets tired of people wasting time looking around.
That said, Crux can speak, read, and write English, French, Maori, Japanese, and Old Vanir, and has translation programs for Norse, Old Aesir, Svartalfari, and a few other languages from among the Nine Worlds. Just in case any of them had anything to do with these ruins, or anything else you may wish to drop in our path ^_^

There's an app that lets properly equipped phones act as standard radio receivers. In the real world, it's the higher end smartphones that are less likely to be properly equipped to do this. In a world of supers, it just might be a big enough niche to support high-end phones that do still have this capability. Gunni made her smartphone herself, with her magesmith powers. Naturally it has this feature. ^_^
Note: plug-in earphones also provide antenna length. If you use Bluetooth earpieces, you should be able to plug in an appropriate substitute, leaving the wire as an antenna, maybe integrated into the costume?

If they are actual formerly-functioning computers, Crux can get them working again, and can probably rig up a power supply. Then the problem becomes, did the data survive? If not, figuring out the machine language would be a major undertaking. And if the data did survive, is it friendly? If it was a secure system, it might not take kindly to being in enemy hands.
Actually, given Crux' ability to analyse gear, my first question is can she tell if the data survived?

Oh, also compare the computers used for Apollo XI with a contemporary smartphone. The former would take more time for Flux to fix just because of how big it is.

Finally got to look at it. Neat! :D You are really good about balancing your powers and explaining why they are balanced the way they are. And as Mittens said, the backstory really tickles me. XD "Oh by the way..."
I really should write up some bios of my supers. XD
I had read the bio before actually :) Defnitely dig a Forge-Thor cross ;)
Don't feel pressured to read [url=https://cityoftitans.com/comment/165384#comment-165384]Gal's[/url] especially since it's so linked to Necrobia as a whole.
Does Mitts have a backstory somewhere? From what I can tell she's got portals, conjuring, and minor reality bending?

Eeep! Mittens tangled the yarn again! Sorry 'bout that. Abandoned sci-fi pyramids + "crude computers" must have computed to Sci-horror in my mind. And in Sci-horror, there's always datapads with "...they've breached life support. This is the end. Aaaaargh!" journal entries in them laying around. And even if I didn't hurp in that way, the definition of "crude computer" can vary from "Speak And Spell" to "has carbon scoring but can still project holo-A.I. even 10,000 years after the last person activated it" depending on setting.
Edit: Oh yeah. You asked for backstory. I'm borrowing from a comicbook hero incarnation of Mits I RP'd long ago in a now dead forum thread. In it an overly Leroy Jenkins human girl wound up obtaining (totally NOT stealing)
magicaldivine teleportation powers from some hidden ancient Egyptian cat temple. Things went especially haywire when she ignored the safety manual, (J/K there was no safety manual), overused the power, and wound up quantum entangled with several other alternate timeline versions of herself. So now she's pretty much as loopy as the arucuan bird. https://youtu.be/nuOW-sSQgD4?t=58My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. Who is the real hero?
I suppose it is somewhat SciFi horror-comic book we've treaded into :p Improv time ;)
