Seems more like a medievil character than someone who would be in the superhero game. Needs some tweaking IMHO

Rejected Character Proposals

Kieran's picture

hmmmm, a little to Legolas for my liking and i echo shaun's criticism, it is too medieval for this setting...he doesn't seem to have any weaknesses...and his history is fairly brief and undetailed...i don't have any problems with powers, but as long as there is reason and emotion to them and how they can pose a problem to himself or anyone else

unless he changes his character i'd vote no

I'd agree with what's already been said. The character sounds more apropriate for Mythic than Fantastic Legends! Plus, I am one of those weird people who have never seen LoTR or read any of the books (ducks to avoid low thrown objects) so I don't know what 'the elf way' and 'elf like' and 'doing the elf thing' is actually supposed to mean :? but it certainly doesn't seem like a valid description to me.

Elf-Like : Poufta-like
The Elf Way: The Treehugger way
The Elf Thing: Effeminate

Okay silliness over...

Its a super hero game and you want to play an elf. Okay, lets see. He has tights. He has pointy ears. He is skinny and hides in the woods. Nope. Not getting it.

If you want to play an archer character..great. Gimme a list of about a dozen cool trick arrows and a nifty MO and then we can talk. But "I'm just an elf" isn't sufficient.

Sorry.

Email has been sent suggesting altering the character for resubmission.

Cat (Rejected)

Logan's picture

-E-Mail: martinandjo@tinyworld.co.uk

-Type Of Character: Cat

-Gender (Male/Female/None ONLY Please) * : Female

-Name (What other characters will call you) * : Cat

-Group Affiliation: She is a cat - please take me seriously! - and I guess
that's it.

-Hero/Villain: VILLAIN

Enter Character Description below:
My character is a Cat called Cat. (Seriously). Y'know how the big bad bald
villains are always stroking their pet cats? - well one cat has had enough. She
is out to sabotage the world, her chief aim being getting rid of any cat-abusing
arch villians, so therefore she has co-operated with heros before, but being a
cat she treats all with admirable distain, and is neither a hero, or a villain
really. Just a catalyst for any action that might take place, and she loves to
stir a paw around in any action going on, and of course, world domination would
be nice.

Enter Character History below: * :
She sat on the laps of very fat and evil men, and was expected to put up
with...er... heavy petting.
She taught herself - revenge can be a very powerful tool. She is Now bent on
world dominantion - duh.

Arch Enemies:
Cat-abusing villains, and people who believe that Whiskers is good enough for
cats. The nerve.

Powers: Cat can speak, having taught herself out the Oxford English Dictory,
better than most humans, and as the ultimate anti-hero, and anti-villain, has an
IQ of over 300, which is not humanly possible, but then, she's not a human.

Enter Characters Powers with description below: * :
Terrible intelligence, and a bent for mind reading: being infinately mentally
superior to humans she knows exactly what they're going to say.
She also has the ability of mind control to a slight degree - hyponotising eyes,
works on weak-minded humans, on strong ones, she can give them a severe
headache.
Staring down a cat can be very dangerous as it is particualarly aggressive sign,
and Cat would react aggressively. As she was previously an arch-villain's cat,
she was specially and selectively bred for thick white fur, and sharp, pointed
claws. These can be very lethal when combined with a cat's natural ability to
leap from high places and 9 lives. And I mean nine - she's died three times
already.

Enter Characters Items with description below:
The whole world is viewed as her back yard, and every man her slave
She carries nothing - paws are quite a bother, but she doesn't need to - with
her air of authority, she gets given exactly what she requires.
She does however have a diamond collar with poison in the gem - an exquiste
touch - if things get desperate.

We want to know the player too. Tell us about yourself (Other games you've
played, age, job, etc.): * :
Games I've played: I registered with Mythic, but no response - am I really that
Bad?!
Where I live: near a village, near a small town, near London in England
What my hobbies are:reading, drawing, writing bad stories, and even worse poetry
What comics I like:Ooh, everything

Guys, I'm quite serious about this - it may not be such a regular,
stereotypicial, but it'll liven things up, and I've got some brilliant ideas -
different is good, right?!

Honestly, I really dont know. I think its really funny and original, but would it fit in. It seems kinda cartoony. What does everyone else think?

Rejected Character Proposals

Firefly's picture

I don't want to say no just because it kind of freaks me out. The thing is it reminds me of the villain in Cats and Dogs. The player seems serious, but the whole thing is so bizarre. I'm not sure this would work, really.

Rejected Character Proposals

MrDave's picture

I say no. Not because of the concept which is truely bizzare and creative. But becasue its not fully developed. I want to see more.

These questions come to mind:
Is Cat out to just destroy villains?
Is the liberation of his furry white bretheren his main goal in life?
Has he managed to free any so far?
Does he have humans to help him out by rolling rubber mice and opening cans of catfood (no opposable thumbs makes this difficult).
Has he formed a secret orgainization (F.F.U.R. - The Felines for Unconditional Release)?
Sounds like he has been the favored feline of more than one villain. Who were they and what was their fate?

In all I think it could be a really cool concept that could be an interesting study of contrasts and prejeduces ("A CAT?! we landed in this death trap becasue of a CAT?") especially if it isn't played for laughs but is played for deadly seriousness ("No, you pathetic human, you landed in my deathtrap becasue you weren't smarter than a cat. Ian, turn on the atomic scratching post for our friends would you?")

Last observation: Kelsey Grammer would make the perfect voice for this character.

My initial reaction : Good idea, but lacks alot of description. He should flesh it out abit better.

Rejected Character Proposals

Meredith Bell's picture

Personally I don't really like this. Apart from the fact that there is very little to go on, what there is, is both SUPER cliched (He 'strikes fear in the guilty' and 'fights the long hard battle at night') and vague (why does he learn martial arts for 12 years of his life? And how does a 'regular' attorney manage to get his hands on x-ray glasses and a hover plate??). Plus there's a whole lot of stuff that just seems silly, I mean my character is a trained assassin ans still she wouldn't just be able to 'kill a man in 2 secs in 50 different ways' plus what are 'FIGHTING POWERS'?

Just one other thing, Shaun pointed out to me how this guy's name is one letter away from Crepe(R) - we both agreed that a French pancake would hardly strike terror in the heart of the guilty (unless they were lactose intollerant.)

Needless to say, I had a good laugh then voted 'no'. Ahem.

Rejected Character Proposals

MrDave's picture

hm...the bumbersticker version: A lwayer who was given super powers by being dragged through radioactive goo? Daredevil Anyone?

"Creper" could be a mispelling of the name "Creeper"

"Fighting Powers" are a category that the random power generator outputs. Looks like they played with the power generator some before deciding on their own powers. I think that was a left over.

Overall it looks like a character that was hastilly slapped together without any thought or plan. So I am voting no. Try again, pal.

Uhm...sorry, but no. This proposal lacks detail and focus. It needs more time and energy spent on it before it can be really beneficial to the game.

I think the concept is very unique and cool. However, it needs to be alittle more fleshed out. What city is she in? How come the ghosts came to her?

Also, she should talk in third person, but I mean that is easily fixed. I would say just work on it a bit more and it would be pretty darn cool

Rejected Character Proposals

Kaarin's picture

I would have to agree - the big bit of work this needs is a but more detail. For example, why she has contact with the ghosts.

Rejected Character Proposals

Meredith Bell's picture

I'm assuming that since she said she worked for the NYPD that's where her character still is - New York.

I do like the initial concept, but I also agree that maybe a little more detail is needed, just so we can get an idea of where she is going with this.

Same here, needs more detail. Kind of reminds me of Haunted which I loved and totally miss, by the by.

Costume: A mask that covers all but his mouth and eyes. Actually I have a pic
that I could email you if that would make things easier. Otherwise I can
describe it more if you need me too

Special Effects: His eyes are pupiless and glow neon yellow.

history: Here is Noble's origin. Its still a bit rough, but I hope you enjoy
reading it. It is however based on the City of Heroes world though so I hope you
don't mind. I can change it a bit for Fantastic Legends if you want me to.

John Riker, a world renowned chemist for helping to create a wonder-drug for the
military. John Riker’s greatest scientific achievment was hijacked from
the armored truck that was transporting it to a nearby military base, by the
nefarious Freakshow gang. When the news reached John Riker, his hopes for a
safer tomorrow were shattered and broken. But even in his hour of despair, some
happiness entered his life also. His wife had given birth to a son but in this
moment of joy, John’s wife died during the deliverance. John named his
son after one of the element of the periodic table that he always liked to hear
spoken, he named his son Argon.

Argon Riker lived a happy childhood. His father always made time to read to,
and play wit h Argon. When Argon learned how to read he loved to read about the
legends of the past. Noble heroes who would fight to protect the innocent at
all costs, and who would not kill anyone, no matter their crimes. But the
biggest factor that would decide his future was his excellence in the fields of
math and science, and much to the dismay of Argon’s father, Argon would
become a chemist. John would often tell his son Argon about the dangers of
mortals attempting to play God; not wanting Argon to make the same mistake as
his father had. But Argon would always reassure his father that he had no
intentions of playing with human chemistry, but he wanted to go into the field
of developing uses for chemicals that had none. Argon’s father
disappeared right before Argon left for college, and he never knew what become
of him.

Many years later, after Argon had finished college and graduate school, he ended
up working with a small research company that was looking to find a use for the
six noble gases: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Argon had only
been at the facility for a little over a year when he was promoted to the lead
scientist of the operations. The small team at the facility had only begun to
attempt combining the six noble gases together at high pressures for extended
periods of time. But no matter what variables they changed, the results were
always the same, the atoms of the separate gases refused to merge. The United
States Military got wind of the what was happening at the facility and took
control of it.

They relocated all of its personnel and equipment to a secure research center
where multiple projects were currently taking place. To Argon’s surprise,
his father was waiting for him at the entrance to the facility. The meeting was
one of repressed joy for Argon, but he found it hard to trust his father as he
once had. After being abandoned for so long, he had become familiar with being
a loner. But after Argon learned that his father had been forced into working
for the government again on human enhancement under threat of imprisonment,
Argon could only feel pity for his father. Argon and John Riker easily found
time to sort out their lost years together because their research areas where
side by side.

The government soon reassigned Argon’s team to attempt to create a new
weapon from the six noble gases. Argon protested, by the government threatened
him that this was such a serious matter that they would kill him and his team if
he refused. Under such pressure with other lives at stake, Argon gave in and
began the research. Within half a year Argon’s team had yet to find a way
to cause the noble gases to react with each. But John Riker’s human
enhancement team had completed their development of a new serum that would allow
the human body to permantly take on the properties of anything it touched. The
serum only lasted for a matter of seconds, although the effects of whatever the
individual with serum in their veins came in contact with was permanent. If the
person in question’s skin came in contact with a rod of steel, their
entire body on the cellure level would turn into metal. John Riker sensed that
he was going to create another drug that would give birth to another breed of
evil, and he slowly began to go insane at the thought of it.

One morning when Argon was the only scientist in his lab, he sat looking over
some notes in front of the large compression chamber that housed swirling noble
gases. The compression chamber was imbedded into the wall, which was directly
next the mixing vat of the new enhancement drug. John Riker had awoken early
that morning too, and warily made his way to his lab. Once John Riker made it
to the lab, he mixed some chemicals together and created a powerful explosive.
A wild, glazed look entered John Riker’s eyes as he placed the explosive
next the to vat of serum, then piled the computers, and all other records of the
research around the vat. He then pulled out his lighter, and dropped it into
the volitile mixture.

The explosion destroyed the wall and vaporized the enhancement serum, sending
most of it wafting in Argon’s direction. Argon had been knocked from his
chair but now stood and looked around. A strange orange vapor was floating
about the room. His was breathing it into his lungs, and it felt as though it
was seeping into his skin. His eyes finally focused and he saw that the
compression chamber had been damaged and was rushing to reach critical force. A
small bulge began to grow on the side of the chamber. Argon ran to the control
panel and attempted to lower the panel, but the computer must have been damaged
also because the screen remained frozen. The bulge had increased ten fold, and
then….the chamber exploded. The explosion hurled Argon across the room
and pummeled him into the wall on the far side of the room. When Argon hit the
wall, the world exploded in a flash of white light, then all became dark.

When Argon came around his head was ringing, and he felt…strange. Almost
lighter than air, but denser at the same time. Much, much denser. His muscles
felt as though they had been torn to shreds, and his eyes felt like they were
burning of fire. He also felt as though fire was running through his viens.
When his eyes finally began to come into focus, the world itself had changed.
Everything within eyesight had a defined clarity that his 20/20 eyesight should
have never been able to observe. The desk, the small pebbles at his feet, even
the small dust particles floating in the air, wear crystal clear. Then he
noticed the soldiers pointing the assault rifles at him, with expressions of
shock and fear on their faces. One soldier stepped forward, “Don’t
move! Or we will fire!” Argon was more than happy to oblige since he
felt like he really had no control over his body at the moment anyway. Argon
surveyed the destruction, and his heart burst when he saw the disfigured and
burnt form of his father. Argon immediately began to weep as he realized what
his father had done. His father sacrificed himself his history from repeating
itself. As Argon wept, the general of the facility entered the room, and when
he saw Argon he strode over to the soldiers, “What happened here you evil
son of a bitch! How the hell did you get past our security! Your going to die
for this, here and now unless you give me some answers!”

Argon stopped crying and looked up at the general, although the general’s
face was only a foot higher than his. Argon just looked at the general, and as
he did his face slowly changed from sadness to an expression of extreme hate.
Hate for forcing his father to become part of something that in end he
sacrificed himself for, to prevent it from entering the world. Argon stood up,
and looked down at the general, he then began to reach his hands out for the
general’s neck, but when his hands came into sight his thoughts began to
spin. Since when did he have hands large enough to enclose a human head. The
general and the guards had been watching his every more, but once
Argon’s hands reached for the general they opened fire. The bullets hit
Argon’s skin and made a slight crinkling sound as the armor piecing tips
became flat, and then fell to the ground. Argon was bewildered at the odd
feeling of bullets hitting his skin but not penetrating it. In fact it only
felt like someone was gently poking him. Thinking of his incredible luck he
quickly bolted out of the doorway and began running for stairs to leave the
lower levels.

When he reached the stairs he found the door locked. Argon thought to himself,
{They must be in lock down.} He yelled in frustration and slammed his fists on
the door. The door yielded to his blow and slammed into the stairs, then
bounced and hit the wall, and bounced again before settling on the floor. All
Argon could say way, “Wow!”
He ran up the stairs and continued onward until he reached the top floor. He
then slammed a fist in that doorway as well, and sent it flying down the main
coridoor. He paused and watched as it flew a hundred yards down the corridoor
until it impaled itself in the wall. He shook his head in wonder and disbelief,
then ran for the main entrance. He rounded a corner and saw a whole troop
waiting for him, and as soon as they spotted him they let their bullets do the
talking for them. They weren’t supposed to let him leave alive. A few
bullets found their mark before Argon ducked back around the corner, but no
damage was done. The gunfire stopped as soon as Argon was out of sight. {I
survived the last barrage of gunfire, and I have no other alternative. May as
well wade into it and find out if my luck is still with me.} Argon stepped out
into the hall, and gunfire erupted once again. This time Argon charged through
the hail of bullets and plowed through the troops, scattering them but not
harming anyone as he passed through. He then turned towards the reinforced
steel doors, and began pounding away with his fists. The metal took his beating
during the first few blows, but after six hits it began to yeild, Argon pounded
away around the frame to loosen it, then backed up a few paces, and rammed it
with his shoulder. The reinforced door when sailing out of the doorway and
plowed into a jeep, effectively destroying it.

Argon ran out into the free air, and looked around. Tanks and jeeps were making
their way towards the entrance, but no air support had showed up yet. He stared
at the tanks and slumped his shoulders, he was as good as dead now, bullets
were no problem but he had no idea how much punishment he might be able to take
before he went down. Then something clicked in his mind, “By the Periodic
Table! The human ehancements floating about in the lab in the form of a vapor
caused me to absorb the six noble gases! Thus infusing me with their chemical
properties! Its finally been done, the six noble gases have finally been
combined!” Remembering the different compositions and properties of the
gases, he remembered that Helium was lighter than air. “I wonder..”
He crouched and leaped from the ground just as an explosive shell from a tank
exploded where Argon had been standing. Argon then concentraited on that
strange feeling he felt when he had first woke up in the lab. And he began to
move upwards in the air. He was belated beyond comprehension. Argon then began
to concentrait on going forward. He slowly began to move forward in the air,
bullets were hitting him and zinging by his ears but he continuned nonetheless.
Soon he was traveling at near 100 miles per hour. Argon quickly left the
compound far behind, and flew for only nearby place of safety he could think of,
Paragon City.

When he reached the heaven, he set himself down on a top of a 30 story building
and sat down with his feet dangling over the edge. Argon was thinking about all
of the events that had happened in the past hour, it seemed as though the
pandora’s box of his life had finally opened, leaving him to ponder his
new existence. Then the picture of his dead father entered back into his mind,
and remembering back to his innocent childhood memories of reading about heroes
of bygone eras, he decided then and there what he would do with his new
abilities. “I will fight for what is right, to protect the innocent, to
defeat evil where ever it may rear its ugly head. To prevent villains from
harming the defenseless, and never to kill, no matter the crime. But if I am to
fight evil, I will need an alias for all heroes do.” Argon sat and
pondered this question for only a few seconds, “I will call myself Noble,
for it is from the noble gases that I have gained my powers.” Noble then
stood, and looked out over the city, Paragon City, and with a mighty leap, he
took to the sky and flew off to begin his new future. His future as a hero.

enemy: I've been sitting here trying to think of one, but I haven't used Noble
enough in role plays to really develope and define him let alone give him a
Nemisis.

sorry, I don't anything to put here.
powers:
Primary Power

Invulnerability: Noble's body is much harder than diamond, but not quite as
hard as Adamantium.

Limit: does not protect him from magic based attacks

Stunt: Due to his powers coming from the six noble gases he has a incredible
resistance to elemental powers (cold, heat, electricity)

Secondary Power

Super Strength:

Limit: Maximum lifting capacity of 30 tons

Stunt: good hand-to-hand fighter, but nowhere among the best

Flight

Limit: Max speed is 100 mph

Stunt: Very experienced in air combat

Perfect Vision

Limit: Can only see clearly up to 1 mile away

Stunt: Glowing yellow eyes fueled by the Radon within his body allows him to
see as though the shine is always shining clearly above. During the night time,
even in pitch black circumstances, it is clear as day for Noble

Does not breath, or need Sleep

Limit: none

Stunt: His body ceased normal human function, although he still possess the
organs of a human body. His chest no longer rises like a normal person when
they fill their lungs with air. Noble's lungs act more as energy gatherers now,
they draw the noble gases from atmosphere very slowly to keep his body
replenished and strong. He can for long periods of time without needing to draw
upon the gases to restore himself. (Around a month or so).

CryingKnight's picture

Ok I think this one gets the thumbs down for a number of reasons.

1) Too powerful. Way, way too powerful. He's virtually invulnerable to everything except magic is 15 times stronger than Proto, 30 times stronger than Supremacy. Plus exceptional senses and night vision along with flight too.

2) Even if we downgrade the powers he ends up as a Supremecy clone (though I don't think that's intentional) There's nothing wrong with a couple of bruisers floating around but I'm not sure the different backstories are enough to separate the characters.

3) No Vulnerabilities. Ok he mentions magic but the only supernatural character we have is Ric's and I hate to say it but Ric hasn't been posting much recently. Possibly the psionics we have around could also give him issues but even so...

4) Did I mention too powerful any NPC capable of physically challenging Noble is going to overwhelm the rest of the characters combined.

5) Lot's of detail on the backstory but not so much about the character, The guy is obviously 'noble' but what else? What's his prefered charity for instance? Does he have any pet hates or quirks? A little more detail on who Argon is beyond Easy going, open, Scientific, Logical. Insufferable Good Guy ;) would be nice

On the other hand I do like elements of the back story and with a little tweaking it could be a good fit with the F.L. universe.

I'd suggest that that the player take a look at the other character proposals and gets an idea of where the upper limit characters (Mel, Supremacy, Proto) are in terms of power. I couldn't say for sure but it looks like F.L. is much more low key than City of Heros. I'm not sure how much of our background is visible to non-players but a look over that may allow him to incorporate elements into his own backstory. For instance was John Riker working on a Mutaxin derivative?

So in the end. I say No though with significant downward revision of the character's powers plus a little more character detail and the obligatory discussion on how to fit the character into what we already have it's a maybe.

Kieran's picture

hmmm, i have the same criticisms as Robin...

I personally see this character as a Superman/Hulk hyrbid, what with the experimentation and magic-vulnerability card (btw, neither Alessandro nor Adriano can use magic)...

I'd say no, unless he sheds more light on the character (heck, even Superman is quite complex these days) and downplays the powers part.

I too have to say no, at least not this way. He needs to downplay a bit. He's way too powerful for this game. Sorry.

I am not sure why we've suddenly had this flood of submissions for this game, but it is both good, and disheartening at the same time. I mean really, can't we do better than this? Is everyone on the web a munchkin? I really was hoping to see at least a single beleiveable character.

:( Disheartening it certainly is, I did feel a twinge of hope for the last in that they must have read SOMETHING from the gameboard to find the Vega City Liberation Group but obviously the gist of that concept was completely by-passed.
