Never-ending Heroes
Guess who's back. Back again. etc ME! Don't you love me? No? Fine. Game on then.
Here's the game rules:
This game is a Antagonist vs Protagonist game. By this I mean it is a Hero vs Villian, 2 player game. As the Hero, you must do as Heroes do: Save the day. As the Villain, you must do as Villains do: Stop the Hero. Simple, eh?
Dice rolls are out of 10 and there are no pre-determined meanings. If Hero rolls 2 and Villain rolls 1, Hero wins. That's it. However, the amount between each roll determines how freaking awesome you were in your action, relative to your enemy. For example, Hero rolls 9 and Villain rolls 2. The difference of 7 means that the Hero does something extremely cool, possibly defeating the Villain. Opposingly, if the Hero rolls 5 and the Villain 4, then it is less awesome. More difference between = more awesome.
Both the Hero and the Villain choose 1 Major Superpower and 1 Minor Power each. This can be anything. I won't give examples. However, they both must also have a Weakness. Weaknesses will not be advertised publicly but MUST be hinted at in Character Creation. Guns, yes. Magic, yes. Time Travel - only if it's balanced. Costume, sure. History is optional. Frequent forum attendance is a must.
For posting, put your public action here of course but send me a PM with the other secret details. Fight scenes should be less private and non-fight scenes more private. Etc
Now in terms of how the story goes, I will leave it up to the Players. There will only be 2 Players at any point (subject to change) and you MUST DIE. Both H and V can survive ridiculous things that would kill normal people, but seriously - if your opponent corners and kills you WITHOUT A DOUBT then just die. Give someone else a go.
Also, DO NOT SAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS. That's my job. Don't say you killed the other, just say you shot at him. There's a difference and I will kill him off when I want.
You know the drill.
Here's the blurb: For years, millennia, aeons, Hero has fought Villain. The Gods may have been the first but by no means the last. Now just yesterday, Komrade Kurt and Hipshot battled it out ... and Hipshot died. *gasp* Not Hipshot! No! He can't die! Who will save the world from Komrade Kurt and his Krouts now?!
A new Hero must step up to keep the peace.
The following night, Mayor Martin of Gurpsville holds a town meeting outside of the Town Hall in a fleeting moment of peace. His pudgy sides wobble as he yells out to the crowd: "People of Gurpsville! Stay calm, please! We will prevail as we always have! A Hero will come to our aid!"
You, just you and no sidekick, take this cue to step forward under a lamppost and show yourself to the crowd. Everyone stops talking as they see you. Whispers travel throughout the mass of people.
You announce yourself as :
(First in, first served! Let's go people! Who's my Hero and where's my Komrade Kurt player?)

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Hero name: Healer of Time. Superpower: Can see in the future a few seconds ahead of time (this could work if i post after the villain posts) Minor power: Deadly accurate with a pistol, seems to be able to put a bullet wherever he wants, even while doing a barrel roll Description/Appearance: Black trench coat with a white lining, two pistols engraved with strange markings as well as having an exquisite golden pocket watch hanging around his neck History: was not always powerful but there was a time where he was slow and weak therefore not being able to do anything about the few seconds he saw in the future. But after maturing and being strangely athletic he put his skill with foresight to good use.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Hero name: Extendo-Man Superpower: Can alter the length and elasticity of his limbs however he likes. Minor power: Able to predict the trajectory of any thrown object, more or less. Description/Appearance: Blue spandex suit, stretches with his limbs. Always wears sunglasses. History: Everybody disliked him because of his power, so he became a superhero hoping he'd be accepted then.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Hero name: Ender Superpower: Can control the velocity of objects. Increase, decrease, and change. Minor power: Is "aware" of his surroundings in every direction. Can't see everywhere, but has a general feeling for what is where. Description/Appearance: Completely black business suit, simple teardrop shaped white mask over face. History: Fell into a vat of chemicals or cosmic radiation from space or a magical bat flew out of a cave and traumatized him and then bit him and gave him powers, who cares about that, nobody knows. All anyone really knows is that Ender appeared one day, and has punished evil ever since.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Hero name: Digi Superpower: Can turn physical data into digital data, as well as digital data into physical data. This means he could travel through phone lines, digitize mooks, and even bring characters from movies of video games to life. The possibilities are extensive. Minor power: Digi can merge two beings by mixing their binary code. Description/Appearance: He wears a green skin-tight superhero suit, covered in small, grey, repeating 1's and 0's which help to reinforce the suit. The suit itself has the ability to store data.
Once defeated a great villain by bringing him into the game Slender. When the villain came out of the game, he just wasn't the same.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Alright so I guess I have to make up more Villains, unless two of you want to be bad guys?
Either that or I put two of you on a waiting list and Huntsman goes first against Chairman.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
I can be a villain if it's holding up the show.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
It is indeed holding up the show. First person to post back gets to be their Hero then.
The plan was, if it wasn't clear, for two people to play against each other. One was the Hero, the other the Villain. Eventually one would kill the other and we would cycle through the player list.
But I'm flexible. Things can change.

"I am Ender. I am your Hero." The Man subconsciously brushes dust from his lapel. The crowd goes absolutely dead silent at the announcement. There is a slight feedback from the Mayor's microphone.
"Komrade Kurt serves no good to this world. By my hand, he will be crushed." Ender clenches his fist in emphasis and the street lamp overhead shatters.
The crowd begins to whisper again softly. Ender, with his pale mask barely visible in the darkness, is now nowhere to be seen.

Komrade Kurt, in his military greens, stood behind a pedestal in front of his 'minions', his so-called Krouts, somewhere in Alaska. "Smirno! My men, my soldiers, we have been victorious!" The mass of soldiers cheer. "Slushayte! But our war is not over! There is a new Hero now, some freak in a suit, trying to break our hold on the world! No! He will not win! We will show him how the Russians should rule the world!" The soldiers cheer again. "K oruzhiyu! We attack tonight!" The soldiers cheer one final time and even some shots are fired. All two hundred of them troop out to gather weapons and vehicles.

Re: Never-ending Heroes
Be the Hero! Do the good deeds! Or whatever.
Hero wrote:
Being the bad guy, everybody knows where his 'Secret Base' is - they're just too scared to do anything about it. But you, you're the Hero. You can do something about it! So you pull a hubcab from a nearby car and use it as to surfboard northward out of Gurpsville. Just outside of the town is a one-sided steep hill with a large, old castle on top. Tanks and cars and everything military surround and populate the walls. You can see men are beginning to take up arms and get in their vehicles. There is a lot of excited chatter. On the tallest tower is a helipad and helicopter. It's rotors begin to turn and a lone figure steps up from a staircase.

As most of the Krouts leave the hall, you take the ladder behind and staircase up to the tallest tower in the castle where your Helicopter awaits. You check your PKM-74 as you climb and subconsciously finger your pistol in its holster. The helicopter waiting at the top already has its rotor spinning as you exit the sunken staircase. Your men are already gearing up and moving out to attack the town of Gurpsville.
They won't know what hit them! Well ... they will, that's part of the plan. But y'know. KILLING AND PLUNDERING
