Crinoverse: The Avengers (OOC)

[Yeoman]

Techincally, all of Ali's current XP is going toward the base, so it's probably 4 needed.

[Kreuzritter]

for Xiao, well, apart from the invasion he's been getting into the swing of "exalted stuff", arbitrating between the tribes of supernatural critters that want to move into the vicinity of Emerald, venturing into the 9 realms to aid Loki in stopping Ragnarok (if he wasn't on Wotan's hit list, he is now. he also has Thor's personal attention), his duties as a pantheon 'god', and of course, instructing what new exalts he can find on both earth and Xeron (among them, Daggle, daughter of the Witch Hydia is now a twilight caste exalt and has found the strength to strike out on her own.)

and, hades sends something once or twice a month to try and do Xiao in, or at the least remind him that he is not far from the Death god's thoughts

[kenseido]

A quick rundown of the charcter sheets revealed the following donations

Guitar Hero 5ep
Xiao 5ep
Relentless 5ep
Elasto 0ep
Maven 10ep
Aum Ra 10ep

Charli has Base donation listed under Feats, but there are no points allocated to it. The remaining Feats add up to 19 which is what is listed as cost for Feats.

So that still leaves us needing 1xp from everyone to upgrade the base, so I will put mine.

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

Whew! Sorry for the delay: I was feeling queasy this morning. But I got something I'm pretty happy with. Basic idea is of a hyper-curious person who gained matter-mind interaction power after having crystals exploded in her face. Also she comes from a weird dimension.

Please let me know if there's anything wrong with the build: I kind of rushed a bit.

Chris

Chris grew up in a dimension very different from Earth’s: the crustal surface (atmosphere, land, water, underneath) is the extent of the universe, and is endless and folds and loops. There is also a much closer connection between the inhabitants’ equivalent of a mind/soul/spirit and matter, though most can’t do anything with the connection the same way someone paralyzed can’t will their body to move by mind alone. Chris, however, was caught in a mine explosion while foolishly investigating some suspicious people who turned out to be digging for illegal materials. The explosion embedded whole crystals, of a special type made from the interconnecting energy of all things, into her skin, giving her super powers. With these powers she joined her local equivalent of an AEGIS-sponsored super-group.

Chris is hyper-curious, so Doc Hazard barely had to ask before she jumped at the chance to explore a whole new dimension (her handlers were also glad to be rid of such a hyper-nosey agent for a while). Unfortunately in her haste she forgot to ask any question about the alternate dimension, with the result being she got stumped by the whole “planet” concept and has been lost the last few months.

Complications:
Everyone Magnet: For some reason the crystals enhance the opinion people have of Chris’s looks. Most of the time this is just make them take notice of her (she’s not all that noticeable on her own), but occasionally, often with the worst possible people, it drives them to distraction and obsession.
Frog Out of Water: Chris’s home was rather like anime Japan (and other nearby places could get downright weird), so she doesn’t founder as much as expected. Still between different pop-cultures and the whole “we don’t have outer space where I come from” some stuff will just stump her.
Hyper-Curious: Chris has an urge to take a closer look at everything and figure out what stuff does. Normally she can control it, but sometimes something comes along that she just can’t resist investigating despite how obviously not a good idea it is.

[Kreuzritter]

So, silvercat, do you want us to provide an opening for Chris' arrival?

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

Nah. As soon as Crinos approves I'll have her drop in.

Literally.

[Arthur Eld]

I don't think its too much of a leap to say this crystal world is where the meteor that spread Shivan Shards over the earth a few years ago. The new ways their powers have manifested can be explained any number of ways-traveling through a cosmic cloud of radiation or whatever.

[Arthur Eld]

Also, six months means any number of things could have happened, so an adventure where the Avengers fought Smashface and won (or at least, didn't die) and thus earned the ire of Mr. Twisted works for me Kreuzritter. I'll add him to the enemies list.

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

That's actually really cool.

The new ways their powers have manifested can be explained any number of ways-traveling through a cosmic cloud of radiation or whatever.

I don't think they need that: these are meta-origin green rocks for their own dimension. They could be completely normal for where Chris comes from.

[Kreuzritter]

just so we're clear, we're basicly going into the base from DOOM?

[Crinos]

That is part of the inspiration. Actually this is based on a storyarc from New Mutants where there was an army base in Limbo called Project Purgatory, where the nine mutant babies from the inferno story were sent and grew up to be mutated super soldiers.

Watch out for the dude with a laser for a face.

[kenseido]

Also, Troy isn't in combat mode. He doesn't pull that out very often, so he is wearing a trim down version of his cybersuit and a black coat.

[Kreuzritter]

i feel I have to quote a freind to whom i showed the breifing, regarding barnett

Barnett clearly needs another face punching

ORPHANS! DAMN IT! COME ON!

Seriously what else did this guy have done during his term? Brain-washing machine powered by throwing kittens into a furnace? A tank that shoots puppies with bombs strapped to them?

[Crinos]

Yeah, why do you think Hoppy used one if his red rages on him?
