Okay, so Sam and I hung out and had an epic brainstorming session where many things were finally decided upon! Here is a master list, and Sam feel free to add in case I miss something or get anything wrong. Confirmed Plot Details: - Setting will be modern day and while the events are national and/or global, we will only focus on one city. It will be somewhere on the east coast in Pennsylvania and it'll be fictional... kind of what like DC does (e.g. Gotham, Metropolis, Star City... etc.). - The dystopian idea is being scrapped and the main confrontation of the story will be the "super villains" No evil government or company. - The company still starts off with two people trying to develop this super serum to help others, one goes rogue and somehow gets followers that he gives the serum to (I think) and thus the supervillains are created. They do evil bad guy stuff, but don't really consider themselves evil. Think Death Eaters. Like they just want to purge the world of the lesser beings. The other person from the company takes the stuff to the government and then they sell it to the public in an attempt to fight back. Shortly after, a school is set up just outside of the city for people to train and learn how to use their bestowings. - A few people somehow develop more than one ability and they are studied by the school, kind of like patients. - There are still people who can take away the bestowings. The supervillains want to capture and them and use them to take away all the powers of the good guys. Sam had a good idea for a scene where one of the villains sends a video tape to the school of them killing one of their people. Or something along those lines. And that's about all I got for now.

Ermeygawd awesome! Getting some parameters set so we can start this bitch!! Whoot whoot! ![]() I'm pretty much in agreement with all of the above, now we just need to name our fictional Pennsylvania city, the company and its school. So....anyone got any names??? We could use Breckenridge lol, I think that was Bailey's city from a different RP site. I'll have to ponder on names for the city, company and school but I may have one for the bad guys. Bad guys need a league name after all lol. They could call themselves The Enlightened or The Gifted. You know, something like "I am holier than thou" because they don't see themselves as evil, just better than everyone else. ><

Okay, so, mostly I'm a douche-nozzle and THOUGHT that I had replied to all of this stuff last week. I didn't. Obviously. Wow. Work is slowly killing my brain. ANYWAY... Yes to everything. I'm down with all the things. I'm not in a very coherent frame of mind at this exact moment to add anything of substance to the conversation, but mostly I just want to say that I approve of all of the ideas and I still love all the things and everyone. Also, world peace. EXCEPT WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS IN BRECKINRIDGE*! *Name may not be a real thing. |

You're not a douche-nozzle! Things happen, it's all good! I like the idea of using Breckenridge, but I've been searching for other names that sounded more like a big city... but couldn't find anything. So I think I'm good with sticking with that. Maybe it can be broken up into boroughs, like New York? So you have different areas like downtown, rich neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, suburbs, something more open and rural where the training academy will be. And to save thinking of more names because I'm so bad at it unless you guys got something, they can just be like the North Borough, South Borough, etc... |

Ok names! So my brain's been on overload for a while and it just spat names out at my today while driving lol. Here's what I've got, feel free to tell me that you like/dislike/despise them and they can be adjusted accordingly ![]() -The city: Hanzburg, Pennsylvania. There's lots of "...burgs" in PN and it was vastly settled by Germanic folk so I thought this sounded fitting (and it doesn't already exist like my first idea apparently does lol) -The borough/sections of town: Downtown-where the businesses are based and the night life is jumping. To the west of Hanzburg, The Heights-originally where the moneyed part of town was going to be but it never picked up and is now the bad part of town, dangerous. To the north, Riverbanks - where the rich live, extremely wealthy area, mostly riverside properties due to the large river flowing past that section of town. To the east, Breckenridge- middle class area, location of Breckenridge Training Academy-the superhero training center sponsored by Bestowed Enhancements. To the south, Arensdorf: Middle to lower-income area, major shopping area with stores and outlets, lots of jobs outside of downtown, transitional area that between Breckenridge and The Heights, western part of Arendorf gets a little iffy as it turns into The Heights. -The company: Bestowed Enhancements. Hence the nickname of the gifts being "bestowings" -The group of super villains: Genesis. So named because they see their group members as elite and the beginning of a new era of mankind -The creator/CEO of Bestowed Enhancements/co-creator of the bestowing serum: Dr. Gregory Pearl -The leader of Genesis/co-creator of the bestowing serum: Dr. Marcus Steele So that's what what my brain spat out. Let me know if you like!

Ah, there's so much to love! Genesis is so perfect and obvious, I can't believe I didn't think of it. And the names and breakdown of the boroughs are awesome. I can finally start building out the rest of the site this week! So exciting! The only things I'm not 100% on, and it's just me being picky with names, but Dr. Gregory Pearl. For last names, what about Hirsch Roth Weisz Lewis Young Walsh And then for Arensdorf, the middle to lower-income area, it sounds a little too German and doesn't really fit with the other names, so what about Gainsborough Stockbridge Stratford Wood Ridge Ambridge Greenview Allenspark Southbridge Southend... South something since it is in the south, idk These are all things I pulled from a town name generator. I'll keep playing with it and see if anything else cool pops up. And I like Hanzburg, but I'm trying to see if there's anything I like better. I do love the Germanic aspect. Makes total sense. But here's a list of stuff I found Newborough/New Borough Harrington Neuburg/Newburgh Stonehaven Heinzburg Sachsberg Ostenberg East Haven I'm not sure how I feel about these either, but options are good. Maybe Shay can weigh in Edited by Bailey, Jan 19 2015, 10:39 PM.

As we wait for Shay, I'm putting my votes in lol. For the following: -Dr. Gregory Roth -Stockbridge -Heinzburg (which makes total sense as the Heinz family owns like Pittsburgh and half the state...I'm shocked there isn't an actual Heinzburg lol) Yay planning! Once we get names settled on we can actually start to RP!!

I'm down with those! I'll start building the rest of the board and if anything needs to be changed, it'll be super easy so no big deal. And I'll go ahead and post the character bio template as well. I'll just rework one of my old ones and if there's anything you guys wanna change or add, we can. Also! More food for thought, do you guys prefer a dark theme or a light theme? I was gonna work on all that stuff this weekend. Edited by Bailey, Jan 20 2015, 01:30 AM.

I don't have any strong feelings for the names, so go with whatever. Though, Sam, I assume Riverbanks was on purpose? =P I legitimately laughed when I saw that you wrote that for the wealthy part of town. Riverbanks makes me poor, but I haz job, so can't complain too much on that! Lol! As for the site theme, I kind of like the darker theme. Easier on the eyes, I think. Can't be putting too much strain on them! I need those! |
