Well the plan was for there to be smaller happenings so the people participating could meet up (and make connections for the future), have a couple incidents to test out writing their abilities maybe, and get into mindspace of the characters. Small things while the threat looms over head, it's all petty compared. 

Not too much longer now cause I also feel as though we have a good number of characters for an open.

I agree that the feel is a little misaligned from the first post, thats actually a big part of why I was hiding inside basically a JCpennys attic.. and why i took so long to jump in, there was so much action despite it sounding like the city was scared to breath too loud and cause the pin to drop. Im absolutely loving it so far dont get me wrong, but I just wanted to note you are... not alone there.

[AsBloodTurnsEverCold]

I do get the disconnect just had to do something while awaiting people. 

At this point I'm not sure who else might join or if more people will join but I'll try to steer things on mood before the real chaos kicks off.

[AsBloodTurnsEverCold]

Actually I might as well ask this 

While I prefer having different and distant locations given the idea of the setting I realize it might be easier to have a central location so to speak. I know the rp has started already but I'm dumb and stubborn. I'm banking on the fact its early. Not quite sure whether to go with Metropolitan area, or megacity but I was thinking basically 5 or so areas or five cities all with disparate cultures.  If megacity the city names would more or less be names for city regions realistically, but if Metropolitan area the distances would be no more than an hour or two away by car drive, faster by other methods. 

All areas connected by a train that would be the biggest reminder they're all connected if Metropolitan area or it'd basically look like a pie if its a megacity. Clear lines drawn.

There would still be other locations to set stories and backgrounds of course as its still a whole globe and outside this one area the rest of the world would be normal. I'm just trying to make things easier. 

But for Megacity it'd be like: 
Nahan Springs = Rich, Upperclass area, Art deco
Arikara Falls  = Poor, lowerclass area, Cyberpunk 
Kakuhekishi = on the edge of the state where it'll be set, coastal, might be solarpunkish
etc. 

Basically the same for the metropolitan area only somehow there would be mountains and more nature. All of this is gonna be geologically impossible still set in America though.

Pinging you guys specifically because of where your heroes are based it might require some editing.

Would like to hear from all willing though.

Wait wait wait, so the people pinged have to change their home base location. I am confused on why. Sorry I have been away for while recovering from burn out and stress

@ElieCapulet30
I'm only asking for opinions at the moment but you'd potentially be the most affected by this change if its something we decide is preferable 

You could still be based away from these cities but the main setting would be these particular areas in order to make a little easier for people to decide how and why they work together. I've got the locations spread out a lot rn.

I think it's fine to leave the separate home cities, especially since individual players can come up with stories that occur before the current event there. We'll just need to consider why we'd be in the primary location of the current story event, or in the future, have events take place in multiple locations.

It's not a bad thing to split the players into smaller groups, I don't think.

[AsBloodTurnsEverCold]

Yeah I was envisioning multiple locations for events when we had enough people or concurrent events but I figure people might be concerned with the smaller individual stories too, or have trouble picking locations since there are those potentially no one else is in while one unified city and or close city means they can just run into each other even if they pick different areas.

I'd still leave the individual locations but more or less re-write stuff to make it clear there is no real distance rather than the "global" angle I'm running with rn

[ElieCapulet30]

I see, I don't mind smaller groups. It gives individuality. Besides other heros from the same cities can meet up or they meet up because of their civilian jobs

Gonna post soon, just been having keyboard problems

*her patient thumb twiddling off to the side is paying off!*

[DreamsnThings]
