One last tweak to Doctor Mercury.

I put her sheet in Jab-format, and while I was at it I took advantage of the free Language. Like her biggest inspiration, Doctor Mercury is now half Japanese. Fits the picture better anyway.

Aside from that, she was already basically done. She isn't as fast as Tachyon, or quite as muscular as Mustang or Hercule, but she's pretty good at both, she can tweak her abilities between scenes, and she can whip up all manner of super-scientific plot devices as needed.

Well, no better than anyone else with a +9 in Athletics... but she might get a buddy who can carry her around underwater.

Timeline moved up, eh? Guess I'd better finish mulling...

When do you plan on starting the game, Jab? I go on family vacation from 7/27 to 8/5. I can probably post some if I get in, but If that's going to be an issue, I will keep my name out of the hat.

So, two timeline questions- one IC, one OOC...

1. How long ago was the event that created Mega-Woman? 5 years, 15, more/less?

2. Are you really cutting off recruitment this early? I have a few ideas and I would hate to miss out, but I can't put anything up right now...

Can also create situations where we really want particular people in and end up missing out on other good characters because of it.
Good point,Epic! there's an olf Theatre saying(BG3 and anyone intrested in acting might recognize it); "Always leave them wanting More,but Never Overindulge..."

Not EVERY niche.We still need a Government Secret Agent Expy, a Pure Skillmonkey Expy, a Reformed Villian Expy, a Superboy analog,etc. It all depends on how far up Mount Troupe you want to go....

LOL- sorry. Didn't realize there were others still mulling. Sorry guys! I extended to deadline just past the weekend- I only moved it up because I thought people were mostly done and everyone was posting a lot in here already!

I was sorta planning on starting it around then, but it'll probably be slow going for a bit. And I really only expect a post a day- I'd honestly get annoyed if people started spam-posting like it was a Crinoverse game. I live on a different coast than many posters, I think.
