(I likely have to scan the bulk above for errors. I know there were some long-standing, tiny ones, a major left-right foot error, etc.) Ricky felt a wave of anxiety swell within the core of his chest as the menacing man approached him. He retreated to the wall once again. He felt like if his back was to the wall they…

I have further refined the system of incorporating Taoism directly into Shaolin Kid's narrative. 1: Origins - Water* Fear & Calmness * Adaptability & Fluidity In this story a young, rookie Shaolin Kid is faced with the might of Hi Pan's militia in the pouring rain. Ricky's fear contrast against Abbot's calmness are major…

Ricky Feng. Ricky, Ricky. What can I or can't I say about Ricky Feng? This crazy Champions character I made to try the Dragon Spirit AT, after having watched a few YouTube videos on the real life kids of Shaolin. Their bravery strength and devotion is often called into question on the grounds of letting kids be kids, but…

In my Destroyer World series, I have it so Destroyer has taken great lengths to make sure the Justice Squad members are kept apart and thought he killed Vanguard, which was personal. Vanguard he allowed to remain prominent super force so that he could punish and defeat his mirror-induced version over and over again before…

For Eve and Dawn of the Destroyer, the plan was for DD to keep the mirror in his OG Detroit bunker. I planned it as a sort of way to go back there as it really leaned into the trip down memory lane aspect really well. It was also a sot of bold play by DD himself. But I've since renagged on that as it doesn't fit the DD…

I'm on the cusp of a big decision. I am still fleshing out Nighthawk's whole journey up to joining the Champs. I don't know where I want him to be located to start, or when/why he moves to M. City. I am thinking it will be rumors and stirs of an emergence of a vast, active, powerful Viper foothold in the newly built,…

Nighthawk is so easy. I am a huge Batman fan. I really, really like Batman, and whilst I've heard so many claim to understand the IP, I've found few who can wholly grasp the concept due to so, so, so many variations and writers. He is clouded behind layers of mythos, fandom, hatedom, and iconic, flavored representations…

There has historically been a large gap between '99, the end of Cecil Cross' stories as the vigilante executioner, Nightguard, and 2014 when Ricky Feng's stories begin. That gap naturally formed due to the age of my OCs (who largely make up the stories of this time period, vs everything before mostly being fanfics) and was…

I might actually do a Defender, Nighthawk, and Witchcraft origin. Something is just bothering me a little here. Normally I understand that you can't establish every member of every team in this kind of format. Often there are just too many characters, and the point is the team, not making sure each member has a distinct,…

Well, it's happening. After hibernating all winter as I usually do, I began doing a round-up of all info readily available on various Champs IPs used in the KigaVerse. I finally got some answers to questions surrounding Defender. The fandom wiki I found gave a good little outline on him that will help anyone get a firm…

I agree. I was praying, still am, that Gearbox was aware enough to see what they inherited on the Cryptic deal, and develop a CO 2rd Age, or some sequel game that appeals to both returning and current player as well as new players who want a good, quality cbm mmo. But there doesn't seem to be an awareness surrounding what…

Atlantis gives me so much anxiety, I almost want to avoid using it/them, but at the same time, I am a huge fan of the Atlantis legends and myths, even conspiracies. Like I am a really, really big fan of this and know a fair bit about what is out there. For this reason I worry that the CU version won't be all I want it to…

When the Swan Set came out, Northwatch had a master level Glow up for what I wanted his costume to look like. This was the height of his golden era costume. Building off of the swan tights, I was able to idealize what I wanted for his super suit. He has since had 1 add-on, with vials added to his left arm. But that's…

If you really unpack that logic, it suggests they feel or data has shown through analysis, that the average player at a given stage of their lifespan as a player, does not read those benefits and say, "Shut up and take my money." Perhaps they want to remove that process of weighing the benefits against the cost, so that…

Paragon is still being developed, because parts are...I just don't know where i sit with them. Particularly his involvement in DoTD. He may just be in isolation for that, and present at the funeral for Detroit, because there's a super good, important part of that scene for him where he realizes society is worth fighting…
-
Right now I need to look into Ravenswood and any sanctioned Young Super Groups they have. For what I need, using one isn't really an option. In the Westsiders story lines, a young super group is established as competition for the Westsiders. Whilst the Westsiders are a ragtag group of misfit screw-ups just trying to figure…

Episode 13: Leaf On The Wind Meanwhile Ben, Nathan and Jacob stumble upon Mel and June fleeing through the streets from Phillip. Ben draws his gun and tells Alister to drop the knives so they can figure this out whiteout any bloodshed. But the gun is telekinetically yanked from his hands, and the knives from Alisters, both…

Episode 12: Run Ben draws his gun on the crowd, which Alister finds cute (knowing he wouldn't shoot any of them), and Nathan and Jacob toss their canisters, releasing the sleeping gas meant for Alister, covering their retreat and escape. (I've been mixed on how this action goes from the start.) Mel arrives at her mom's…

Episode 11: A New Body Jason is jailed, but when Ben returns he releases him, telling him he has to rally up the other kids and find a way to keep them safe. he's not sure if Alister will go after another young Fae body as his host or not, but he's worried about his kids, Harry and Alexa. He tells Jason Alister is looking…

Episode 10: Baptism By Fire Cornered by Alister, Jason lunges for his bike but Alister intimidates him rather easily away from it. He asks him if he's aware that his mother and uncle belong to him now. Jason gets the point and freezes up like a cornered rat, heart pounding. "You want to burn me, don't you? You want to lift…
-
Episode 9: Roots Up until now, Ben and Nathan's group have not trusted the Ross family. As they are meeting, Jason brings all the kids and Hisao, that all the adults might be caught up, and everyone unified in their knowledge and ability to fight back. Everyone discusses the roots they all share going back to 1990, and the…

Episode 8: Generations Part 2 As Alister is beginning his conquest, John T. Smith is revealed to be a government agent working for an unknown agency with clear interests in Fae experimentation. As all hell is breaking loose, Saito arrives to help the towns people, and forestall Alister, who wants June Ross, her mother, or…

Episode 7: Generations Part 1 We go back thirty years to 1990. Most of the adults are now between the ages of 14 and 17, many 16. We get to see the valley in 1990, as well as almost every adult when they were teens. Right now, it seems apparent that everyone knows they are Fae and have gifts, although they don't turn life…

Episode 6: His Name Is Alister On their way to the tree fort to meet the others, Jason and Pete encounter Saito on a forest trail. They are spooked by him still, but he tries to calm them by telling them he is not their enemy and it will soon be revealed to them as the truth. He also insists that they trust him by seeking…

Episode 5: Paradigm Shift All across town, people, old and young alike, begin to realize they have gifts of various kinds. Luke Elliot proposes to Molly Harper, and she says yes with teary eyes. Meanwhile the teens have begun to meet in the tree fort, utilizing the old meeting room to gather and plot their moves to protect…

Miles and Diana maintain their jobs despite the disappearance scandal, and both provided flimsy excuses for their whereabouts.…

Episode 3: The Tree Of Life The morning of Diana's disappearance, the town is placed under a spell of unease. A town hall meeting is held, and Alexa and Harry convince the others something is wrong, seriously wrong. The teens begin to snoop around and become more alert as Ben tries to settle the adults and figure out what…

(Volume one was mapped out to script, so it actually has episode structure, the others do not yet.) FAE is set in the rustic, rural community of White River Valley. A small town that sits amid am ancient, ghostly, primordial forest. It's an eerie but beautiful forest, and the locals don't know any better to be too spooked…

Several years ago a CO friend and fellow Super Leader came to me for help. They had come up with a Lycanthropic sorcerer character by the name of Hocus Lupus. They wanted my help coming up with an origin and backstory for him that layout out the foundation for a lush, passive sphere of story archs are plot elements around…

AFTERNOON - CUT: Mall interior, foyer. JASON, HARRY, ERIK, and PETE stand in the Foyer in front of some shops. They chat idly while they hang out passing time. PETE: Why didn’t you just talk to her, Erik? ERIK sighs, a bit annoyed, uncomfortable. HARRY: Because he knows how pissed I’ll be if he goes near my sister. JASON:…

AFTERNOON - CUT: Mall exterior walkway. MEL makes her way up a walkway (heading north) leading to the mall entrance. She is nervous and uncomfortable. She passes a bench where BECKY SONG and ALEXA MILLER are sitting, having a casual chat. As MEL passes, ALEXA takes notice of her, recognizing her as a new face in town.…

AFTERNOON - CUT: Suburban street. JASON, ERIK, HARRY, and PETE ride their bikes down a quiet suburban street together. ERIK: Hey, Jay. JASON: Yeah? ERIK: What do you think of Becky Song? JASON: She’s cute I guess. HARRY: She’s a nerd. HARRY giggles, smiling. PETE: Shut up about my Becky. JASON, HARRY and ERIK laugh. ERIK:…

Scene 11 - White River Valley AFTERNOON - CUT: Ross family car. PHILLIP drives and MEL sits in the front passenger seat. PHILLIP: I know it’s been really, really hard on you. You’ve been on the move since you were born, going from town to town. MEL: Dad, it’s not a big deal. PHILLIP: No, it is. But I promise you, this…

I think I have figured the Magic bending physics problems out. My mind is so weird I had to share this. Some of you will love it. Imagine, as a thought experiment, a circular, squishy membrane (physics). When you push against it, it has some give, but not much, just a tough membrane. We submerge it in a liquid labelled…

For about a year now I have been trying to decide what happens to the essence of Dragon Warrior when Ricky dies. IN earlier incarnations of his death, before it was even fleshed out, I had him pass it on to one of the Westsiders, or one of the supporting characters from their stories. After more was developed and Ricky's…
-
I am still developing the parts of Ricky's story after he kills Hi Pan. He hopes in his naïve youth that it will disrupt the banner's hold over the city, although he did it out of protective rage. But instead of disrupting the Banner, nothing really changes except a decree is sent down the chain of command that Ricky is…
-
This has become a sort of development blog. But here's to hoping my mentor is in good health and enjoying the finer things in life. I have developed Ricky's story arc up to the end of his run as Shaolin Kid, and with that is now paired the story of Red Lotus, as the end up being intertwined by not only a Red Banner BS lie…
-
I have it so that in '87, the teams did not have the special, extreme-range, compact coms devices that they did in '92.It's too early, and the plot here, as well as in DoTD, wrap it around. I'm working out the fine inner trappings, but Crusader suspects Takofanes is coming. I'm taking my sweet **** time developing how and…
-
This aspect is confusing to me. I've rationalized it several ways. One is that other galaxies do not have the swell of concentrated magic that the Milky Way does, and therefore, their technology did not evolve and develop under the influence of magic to propel everything forward. This would mean alien tech from galaxies…
-
So, Paragon's origin story is once again being amended to fit perfectly snug [relatively speaking] into Arcadian, and Hazorian cannon. I know I need Hidden Lands to really do this, lol. And like this comes with so much anxiety, tearing down a whole origin to look at it and figure out how to make it function better, but it…
-
Now I'm not sure about this one, but when it comes to the 5 Year Decline, I have been gazing upon Arcadia with an unforgiving analytical frame of mind. IN my train of logic, when the Milky Way "dries up", no magic functions here anymore. This means if an alien ship with advanced, extra-mundane levels of tech, was to enter…
-
So I have been working at length on my 5 year decline concept. After Tyrannon is thwarted in the KigaVerse, it takes magic 5 years to completely dissipate on us. During my scene where I montage the major changes, I wanted to hit on many of the major characters and what happens to them, the major, fantastic elements and…
-
@bulgarex I hope these strange times find you well and in good health. I have gone the step further and finally developed my Bell of the Chosen. I'm sticking to Vanguard's original origin here because i believe these moments to be iconic and not to be "fixed". Played with? Maaaaybe. :) He guards the expedition to Tibet,…
-
I have developed my Vanguard WWII scene. Before Jeff ever sets his gaze upon the Bell, he serves in WWII, primarily in the capacity of a translator, but he still fights with his unit as most would and did. I haven't figured all this out yet as it hinges some on what comes before in the story, but his Squad is are on the…
-
I have been working on Wrath of The Dragon, and Dr. Yin Wu. I even have a short list of actors I would want for him. Donnie Yen with good wardrobe and makeup would have the solid martial arts basis for a few scenes I need my Dr. Wu to be in. One of those scenes is when Dr. Wu and Ricky are alone, and he tests Ricky with…

Superman's eye lids squeezed shut as Goku's right hand collided with his left cheek. His face turned with the impact, his neck stretching as his chin reached over his right shoulder. Clark had been striding into his left foot so his balance would have been threatened had it not been for his super strength and Kyrptonian…
-
I'm right on the edge of buying Hidden Lands. Like right there. I have that hesitation I cannot break, but I am getting so close. I have to pump out a Shaolin Kid story that just needs Westside/M. City/Red Banner information, but I can probably manage as it is a very intimate story about the power of the Dragon Warrior…
-
I enjoyed this read and will benefit from the Villainy unlimited organization you outlined. I feel it's also important to note for role players that the Purple Gang is a historical real world organization with history in Detroit. I found that cool when looking into it. The 'New' in the Champs version led me to believe…
