The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Yep.  "Kagetora" is his operation name only.  Think codenames.

MrDrake, I just realized this: Rhino's power core is placed in almost the exact same place and glows the same color as Tony Stark/Iron Man's arc reactor.

Was that a shout out to Iron Man or am I imagining things?

Not really, I wasn't thinking along the lines of Tony Stark's Iron Man armour when I was thinking of that, nor War Machine either...it was more of a coincidence than anything else.

In case no one knew what kind of claws I actually had in mind for Subject 19, it is based off these ones here from Prototype:



And yes, in the game, they can slice and dice human flesh :lol

I'm trying to get back into the RP, but real life keeps getting in the way.  :anger

I'll do what I can. I should be back before July, though.

Nope, like Alex Mercer.

Freddy only has one glove....Alex Mercer has both clawed hands and that's exactly whom I based the claws off.

How does that look?

This is the map of Lab 101 I'm going to include in my next post. Are there any changes I should make before that?

 (Also, how do I embed an image into my post?)

That map looks pretty good. It reminds me of what I make, or rather, have made in the past.

I'll be using Stern and Aydin again soon. If someone could give me a recap, I'll be able to participate more much quicker. I am still busy, but things are lightening up for now, at least until mid-August.

All right, here is the recap:

The group is in the forest outside Lab 101 and they are preparing to assault it (they are breaking up into teams.)

Subject 19 has been captured in Southport.

Southport is a large port city (~ population 120,000 people). It is relatively safe but like pretty much every city there are some very bad parts. It is home to a lot of high tech industry (electronics, pharmaceuticals, biotech, cybernetics etc.). There is a also a large Vulpine population (the "Vulpine Quarter").

Cancerian Tiger has joined as Dr. Anne Williams but she has not yet met the other characters.

I'd like to apoligise for not participating in this RP with Srgt. Clyco, but as of late I simply haven't been inspired enough by his character to think about how he can contribute to the storyline.

I think it is unproductive to simply have a 'show up and follow along' character in any RP, so until I think of something I'll let the rest of this RP play out for the better  :angel

Caustizer.

You can always jump in with a new character, if Sgt. Clyco isn't sparking any ideas.

The team is about to invade Dragonstorm, you can play the role of a Dragonstorm scientist or security guard who decides to side with the good guys. Or you can play someone back at Crimson base, working with Dr. Joe, Wayne Anthony, and his team. I'm pretty sure the Crimson Base team is going to meet up with the rest of the group later.

Thanks for the recap. I'll be in as soon as I can.

And, for a minor point, the Vulpines were originally made by MrDrake, although the name for them and much of the content of their species was my idea, thanks to contact with him on MSN. That would explain why I have Aydin go on for so long about his species, despite the race being MrDrake's idea.

By the way, in case no one knows who he is, General Thunderbolt Ross is the same character as that from The Incredible Hulk franchise....the same one who wishes to stop the Hulk ;)

Nice! I assume "Thunderbolt" is a nickname given to him by his troops?

I guess we can assume his first name is Thomas?

Actually, from what I have read, it's Thaddeus.  Not sure if "Thunderbolt" was the nickname given to him by his troops, or if he gave himself that nickname or what.

Thunderbolt Ross

The information about him from Wikipedia ;)

And no, this version of him does not transform into the Red Hulk :lol

Yeah, to make sure we separate the two.

How about we call this one Thomas "Thunderbolt" Ross? The nickname was given to him by his troops.

Also, would Cale's "glass summoning" abilities fall under Lethal Harmless Power (using a harmless power in a lethal way)?

Here is what I wrote:
Quote
Cale from Darwin's Soldiers can use his electrical powers to fuse dust particles in the air into glass. This does not sound impressive when compared to his other power (electrokinesis) but keep in mind that he can literally pull a weapon from thin air and he has used these glass weapons to deadly effect.

Actually, I was thinking of having him just called General Thunderbolt Ross. His first name not revealed sort of thing, so Thunderbolt is the nickname given to him by his troops sort of thing.

Although, he would go by General Ross most of the time, at times, using General Thunderbolt Ross.

As in, same character, yet, different name, or something along those lines.  And reason I don't want him becoming the Red Hulk....upon reading that, I actually didn't like that the Marvel writters picked Thunderbolt Ross to be the Red Hulk, I liked him as he was, and to me, that was a step in the wrong direction.

To me, general Ross in particually will always be one who is just a normal Army General, yet, who can give super powered beings a bit of a run for their money....I mean, he's done that to the Hulk without the use of super powers, only the Hulkbusters team, which I think he even got himself a suit of his own to combat the Hulk.
