Honestly, I'm not too keen on the whole Rock XXXXXX idea. I think a different title is in order.

SpandexMonkeyMan said: Just one thing. Where does War fit into this? And also, What if somebody gives preliminary warning that they'll not be there? For example, I occasionally go on holiday or on residential weekends with my family or various groups, and as such I would dissapear every so often. Course, I would warn people first, but I wouldn't be here during those times.
You know, I don't remember where War really came in. It was kinda on the side, though, and was more of a besides story until CA was done.
As far as the vacation thing goes, I guess it would depend on the vacation time. I mean, if it's a week or a month, then there's no reason to cut the character out. If a person is gonna be gone for six months or something, though, or a person HAS been gone for a while, I think they should be put on hold or simply put into the background for a while.
I mean, we can always have a character injured or captured during an adventure until they write themselves out. Of course, we'd need more than a four line post for that.

Maybe...maybe Rock of the World can be a huge rock of cocaine that the terrorists want to sieze so they can fund their organization indefinately, so the United Nations has secretly called in the JLR to stop these terrorist scum and save the Rock of the World for the United Nations funding! Anyone?
Guys?

I like Rock of the World, actually. Especially when you consider that that gives us shiteloads of villains to get killed by.
One things bothers me, though. Technically, Brit's our leader, and as such shouldn't we okay things with him, first? I mean, I'm for Wednesday's plan, but Brit's sorta our leader

Mmmkay, how about:
Britannica
Centurian
Fused
Jade Starlight
SpandexMonkeyMan (powered down, damnit!)
Stupid Dogg
Wednesday
I think that lineup would make for an interesting team dynamic. I actually thought about adding Alice and Beatrice as villains turned heroes since I like those characters so much (and they're giiirls) but I think seven members is enough.

Pardon me for my stupidity, but who are Alice and Beatrice? And why should we keep Cent on? Understand that this is no criticism, merely a question as to why we are keeping a character around when:
A) He's not be seen on the RKMBs for ages
His main character interaction was with CJ, also gone C) He was never that interesting anyway
And what's wrong with Spandex's power level?

He's a friend of mine. I can attest to the fact that he'll be back soon.

SpandexMonkeyMan said:

Well, that's actually more our fault than his. That was done to give CJ's character some use in the story. Until then, she was just kinda... there. I think his future interactions with the more senior members of the team, as well as Jade, will prove interesting.
He's a newbie who's unsure of himself. That's always interesting.
Quote:
SpandexMonkeyMan said: C) He was never that interesting anyway
I beg to differ. I think he's one of the most interesting characters we have. Power wise his potential is up there, but with a very interesting set of limitations that keep him grounded. Plus, the characters youth and, for lack of a better term, ignorance is refreshing in a team of heroes where everyone (with the exception of Jade who has not been introduced) has shown themselves to be comfortable in their superhero skin.
Quote:
SpandexMonkeyMan said: And what's wrong with Spandex's power level?
Let me be frank: the problem with Spandex's power level is that it's unlimited.
He can pull out any metahuman's superpower at any time. That's ANY metahuman, ANYWHERE, ANY TIME he likes without any indication of ill-effects. Think about that for a moment... ANYTHING. He's practically god-level and with him on the team there is no reason for the rest of us to ever lift a finger.
Now, we have other characters with variable powers, but they have limits. - Centurian depends on his dice and has a time limitation. Plus, control of the beings he summons is often strained, sometimes non-existent. - Wednesday does not have control of when his power change occurs and must always figure out what his new power is. Plus, I have always been careful to limit his power level to avoid the problem that characters like the original (young) and SMM present. I'll admit there was one exception to that rule, however, which occured in The Room of Spirit and Time story. Of course, he wasn't a member of the JLR at the time (he was a temporary villain) and it happened under specific circumstances that would be difficult to replicate. And his power level was eventually brought back down to normal levels.
Incidentally, we powered down (young) in that story, as well, and his character has worked better ever since.

The only one who is consistently powerful is Chant  And even then, that's rather sporadic, weird, chaotic and downright strange  as it should be! The current powerlvl he enjoys is only temporary!

Oh, and Jade Starlight will be introduced in the next story!
her powers are pretty awesome, actually, near God-like, but there's a reason for that which you will all know in due time. Besides, she's only a character for the next story, unless people like her that is

well, now that SMM has been seperated from Islington maybe he won't be able to stretch his absorption powers so far.

Actually, yeah, that is a point. And Now you've explained about Cent, I'm cool with that, too.
Here's how I plan to handle Spandex's power. First of all, there's now a power cap, so he can only steal so many powers of a certain level. Essentially, this boils down now to Islington's awesome angelic abilities and his flight and illusions from the Skull. His atomic explosions will be disposed of, and Dr Dredz will be killed off anyway 'cos she's boring.

So you're planning to maintain him as a guy who has the power of a super-powered angel plus flight and illusions AND can steal powers from others?
You're kidding, right? Tell me I'm misreading.

I don't think I explained it very well. He CAN Steal powers, but he can't steal any more at the moment. Essentially, until he reactivates Islington or TSOD he can't steal any more powers.

By the way I should be back now. I took a break from the boards to finish up the JLRemix story I was writing. Now I just have to type it up and go over it a bit. Got a little sidetracked and didn't come back. But I'm here now.

As I said, they're near God-like!
Don't sell her off until you actually know the character. As you can read in the profile she has powerblasts, though she isn't a very good shot!
She can heal people and all that stuff...
but......
As I said, she has near god-like powers, but there's a limit as to when she can use that power and on who!
Something actually has to happen first.
So yes! she is being introduced in the next story dammit!
