Okay,"larboard" was a new word for me, but the rest made perfect sense. And, as far "larboard" goes... great, a new word for my personal lexicon. :geek:

So how far/behind is he compared to Southeastern Kentucky?
If you're west of Wayne County you're in the same time zone as me. If you're in Wayne County or points east, you're an hour ahead of me, and two hours ahead of Jab.
Harlan County for me(just before you hit the straight line seperating Kentucky and Tennessee on a map ).
I was born and raised in northeast Tennessee (Sullivan County). Right across the state line is Scott County, Virginia. If you head NW you'd hit Kentucky or due north you'd hit West Va.

Now I live just outside of Atlanta, GA.

My story?

You all know this story by now, right? As my they say in that Disney movie my daughter loves, it’s a ”tale as old as time”.

A boy is born to loving parents in the heartland of America. They worked their asses off to give him a good life. They succeeded. Boy is the apple of mom’s eye. Dad gives the boy semi-tough love and he grows up to be a big and strong. Could have been smart, too, but he didn’t give a shit about school, despite his parents’ best efforts

The boy loved football. He grew up to be a star running back in high school. Got scholarship to major college. Meets love of his life. Boy gets injured playing football. Loses his way. Does something stupid, gets kicked off team and out of school. Girl stands by him. Marries him despite his aimlessness. They have a baby girl.

Boy becomes man and gets off his ass to take care of his family. Man works bad job he hates to support family. They have second child, a boy. Man loves family, hates everything else about his life.

Man finally loses it at job, gets fired. Looks for new job but can’t find anything. Wife picks up second job. Man feels like he’s hit rock bottom. Man gets approached by secret agency for job to set family up for life. Man accepts.

Man gets double crossed by agency. He gets genetically enhanced and turned into a living weapon. Becomes their most dangerous creation. Man does horrible things under their control. He doesn’t want to but he can’t control himself. Man remembers every awful thing he does but hides things from family for months. Man then realizes he has to leave family to protect them. Man is devastated and lost. Continues to do horrible things for years.

Man eventually gets into fight with superhero. Superhero helps him break agency control. He turns on agency and helps superhero take it down. In gratitude, superhero lets man escape before authorities arrive. Man is finally free but is ashamed of what he’s done. Man finds family but is afraid to contact them. Keeps low profile until he has to protect family from rogue operative of defunct agency. Children welcome him back. Wife does not.

Superhero gets man in contact with people to help him start new life. Encourages man to use abilities for good to make up for wrongs he’s done. Man reaches out to billionaire to join superhero team.

You know. That old chestnut.

Now I guess we’ll find out if there’s a happily ever after.

I thought "catchphrase coming" is a unique quote as Slyce charges at his foes with his claws. Just saying. :)

Dr. Mercury and Galactica are pretty beefcakey, too. No MILFs, though.

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...
I'm kinda thinking 5-8 years. Enough time for reputations and cliches to develop, but not a huge amount of time.

I can keep recruiting going, but I feel bad having to pick and choose. I don't think I can run TWO games, andand 16+ characters is pushing it!

LOL. And I really did.

I was trying to get him posted and every catchphrase I came up with so far just didn't...cut it... :roll:

See?!?!? Nothing but bad cutting puns. I'll sleep on it and see if I can't come up with something decent.

When I looked at the photo you posted, I couldn't help but think of Mr. T in Rocky III. When the reporter asks Clubber Lang, "What's your prediction for the fight?" Lang looks into the camera menacingly, pauses, and then responds, "Pain"

Just think Jab, if we can get 10 more we can have our own Legion of Super Heroes! ;)

If you gotta cut, we're all big boys and girls, it's cool. Even though I'd really like to play, wouldn't be the first and won't be last game a character of mine doesn't get picked for.

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!
In my defense I was working on an idea last weekend... I was finally forced to realize it was never going to fly.
My own elevator pitch made it sound entirely too much like things you actively asked to not get as suggestions ;~)

Trying to do a little back researched and put something together between house hunting.
And extreme warmth. I'm not built for the heat.
