RPG OtakuBoards Survivor 4: The Titans

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]*sigh* Sakura I'm going to put this simply. You rocksorz my soxorz. :/

Now I think we should start talking about a possible new Titan. I'm thinking either The Boss (for his complete style and creativity) or Doublehex (for his loyalty and background of active posting in RPs).[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Yeah, we should really decide on who we want for our team.

My vote would go to either The Boss, or Veritas because I'm confident in both of their abilities. Both are creative and loyal from how I've seen them participate in other things like RPs. They're both quite active from how I've seen which means it'll help with working out challenges.

Talking about the challenge, I'm just glad I could do it for the team. For once I was glad for timezones because it was posted at 4:06pm, giving me the entire evening/night to work on it. While a lot of others would be away doing daily things, I have holidays with pretty much nothing to do, so as tiring as it was it was fun because it took up time. I'm happy we won, but sorry again since it seems like I made all the decisions on my own. Though it does seem my reasons for posting are worthy because A_M posted only about an hour after me.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][quote name='Sakura][COLOR=Navy]And sorry if it kinda seems I'm over ruling you Beth. I don't mean it in that way at all.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Not at all, Sandy specifically said anyone could post the answer and I'm glad you did since I wasn't able to get back online until now. At least I was able to help by finding part of the answers. :catgirl: [QUOTE=Sakura][COLOR=Navy']Talking about the challenge, I'm just glad I could do it for the team.

As for the choice of a new team member, both of the ones you've suggested sound good.
[/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]So it's decision time, and we still haven't heard from Tiana in a while.

Uhm...I'm just trying to nut this out logically, and the logical choice would be Mike (AKA The Boss) right? Since that's the one that both Stephen and I agree on, and Beth said she wouldn't mind any of the ones we named.

Captain's vote matters most.

I just wish we knew what Tiana is doing. She may still have exams...

But....YAY TITANS on our first VICTORY!!! =D[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Well Tiana's vote won't make a huge impact anyway since she'd be outnumbered. Unless she [i]really[/i] didn't want The Boss on (in which case we'd be like "Okay, we don't invite him, jeez".) it wouldn't matter. And I don't think she hates The Boss.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue] [quote name='Sakura][COLOR=Navy']So it's decision time, and we still haven't heard from Tiana in a while.[/COLOR][/quote]And since we have not heard from them for a bit the decision is made. We will invite the Boss and if for some reason they cannot, then we will invite the next person listed.

[B]EDIT:[/B] Also even though the mercenaries are down to three members, it would be a mistake to underestimate them. Gavin and indifference may have been their oldest members, but I would argue that Aaryanna is equally if not stronger regardless of her age and Darren is showing quite a bit of determination as well. [/COLOR]

[Riku]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Wow... I feel really, really horrible for not posting in this thread forever, you guys... I feel like I've been letting the team down for a long time. I'm sorry... school's been killing me and such. It sucks being a Senior, it really does.

But I passed all my exams, so yeah! :D

Anyway, congrats on completing the mission, Mary! You are my number one hero and I will love you forever and ever. And congrats to everyone for letting us win! We are so awesome that we rock everyone's socks off.

I don't mind if we accept The Boss into our team anyway, he seems like a really nice guy.

And thank you, Stephen, for your comment. You make me sound like a whiney 10 year- old. :P

Sorry you guys for not being here in FOREVER. I will be posting from now on. And sorry for not making our banner... I was studying for exams. I can understand why I got two votes last time and if I get voted off this time.

I feel suckeh. ; - ;[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=darkred][size=1]

What's happenin'? I guess I'm the new guy. I give my great thanks to you all for electing me for this, heh. I was kinda bummed I didn't get in, but hey, looks like things worked out.

I was told to give a little about myself, so here goes.

My name is [b]Mike[/b] as most of you know, but you can keep calling me [b]The Boss[/b] and inflate my ego even more. I just turned 17, I'm 6'0'' around 159 lbs, so I'm pretty slender. I'm a dude, apparently. I got me some dark auburn hair and eyes that match it. I enjoy drawing, writing... stuff, video gaming, comic books, manga, anime, and the like. I'm a huge film geek and an even bigger fan of martial arts and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). I'm moments away from earning my black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I'm half Greek, half American (Irish-Native American). I've been all over the world, literally. I've lived all across America and in Germany for a little while. I've been to Greece three times, and loved it. I'm an Army Brat, my pa is a career soldier. I stay on the move and I'm actually about to move again.

I found the OBs about four years ago. My original username was [b]Double_B_Daigo[/b]. I eventually took a hiatus when OBs stopped working for me. Then came back as [b]ReFlux[/b] after modding at a lesser board for sometime. Then took another Hiatus thanks to school, changed my name to [b]Mugen[/b]. Finally, I took another hiatus, switched to [b]The Boss[/b], and havn't changed since. I was a big part of the old [b]MAMA/Viva Otaku[/b] debate back last summer, heh. I'm mostly known for my Battles back when the Battle Arena was still active and a few good RPs I was a part of. Also I wrote a few OB fan fics along with both [b]Retribution[/b] ([b]OtakuFiction[/b] and another with [b]Annie/Tex[/b]. Right now I'm working on my best so far, [b]The Hit[/b] all alone.

I known as a lover boy, romantic, and a real kidder. But well, you guys can be the judge of what I'm really like (except White... that damn honky).

Thanks again.

- Mike/The Boss[/color][/size]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Yay~! Welcome to The Titans, Mike.

Now we're the team with the most members and I hope we can all work together well to win all the challenges ^^[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Welcome to the team, Mike. Glad to have ya.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Riku]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Honored to have you with us, Mike.

Now The Titans roxorz! :D[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

Thanks guys, and hey! We gonna kill this Screenplay challenge. I know you guys are all great writers, and I suppose I'm descent aswell. Superhero Action is a great choice, particularly because my speciality happens to be *da da da da* action.

I have a few ideas I could run by if you guys don't already have any. [/color][/size]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Alright, so I'm thinking we should all just take a bunch of ideas and mention them all here. We'll designate a writer to write the first two paragraphs, the next person will do the next two, the next person will do the next two again, and so on until it ends.

I don't care what part I do (if that's what we decide to do). We can always talk and change stuff after since we'll have lots of time (assuming it doesn't take anyone two days to write two paragraphs).

Since we have to submit ideas anyway, here are mine.

[B]Super Hero names:[/B]
The Incredible Boss
The White Whisperer
The Keyblade Defender
Sakura, the girl wonder.
Ms. Sunfall

[b]Enemy:[/b]
Sandor
The Sandinator
Trojan 101
Newbs

[b]Mentor(s):[/b]
Sage Sandy
James the Great Sage
Elders: Alan, Charles, Syk3, Solo Tremaine etc.

Since there'll be 10 paragraphs total, here's what the different sections would be if we decided to use my idea.

First 2 - Introduction to Characters/Plot
Second 2 - Start of Plot
Third 2 - Getting to the Problem and failing
Fourth 2 - Solving the problem and action
Fifth 2 - Ending [/FONT][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[SIZE=2][COLOR=Navy]Mike and I have discussed a little bit of the challenge so far and as an alternative to Stephen's idea of how to do it we thought something like this:

We will of course be the Heroes, duh.

Our enemies could be the other teams as Crime Syndicates.

And maybe Stephen and Tiana could take care of our graphics needs first before being added to the writing list, unless they'd rather write of course.

[B]Types of graphics things we thought of were:[/B]
-Table/background graphics
-A title graphic/splash
-And character images if possible

Mike and I both said we wouldn't mind doing a lot of the writing with direction from the plans we come up with.

But now I've just realised that we kindly left Beth out ><;; She of course is free to do as she wishes, just as everyone else is but I was thinking that she could either help with writing for the main part, or perhaps help to find us some music, that is if we wish to have music.

I dunno, that was just what we came up with just by thinking since Tiana and Stephen are our graphic artists, and Mike and I tend to do a lot of writing, though I'm not that unaware as to not know that Stephen and Tiana both write too.

Mike said he has ideas which he will post tomorrow. I so far don't really have any ideas, so yeah.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I'm not exactly the best of writers so this idea works for me. Tiana, shall you be my graphics partner then? :)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]The only problem I see with using paragraphs is if this is required to be written in script format, which isn?t the same. I?ve done plenty of writing, but never in script format. And since Sandy specifically provided a link to information about writing a screenplay I wonder if this is exactly what he is expecting us to do. Also if The Boss is good at action, I'm pretty good at covering the emotional side of what's going on in how the characters are feeling. ^_~

As for me helping with music, I have never hosted or done anything music related online, ever. So I don?t even know where to go to host music or how to write the code to get it to actually play, so it might be better if someone else does that if we have music in our screenplay. ^_^

But the writing and some of the basic graphics I can help with, though in the end since I only have Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 [which cannot do some of the things White?s program can do] we would be better off with someone who has a better program than I do.

As for the ideas so far, I love the names you thought of White and I love the idea of us going against the other teams as if they were Crime Syndicates. ^_~[/COLOR]

[quote name='White][COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I'm not exactly the best of writers so this idea works for me. Tiana, shall you be my graphics partner then? :)[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Why, of course I would love to help you out, Stephen. But, I was wondering, does that mean that I only get to write a little bit or a good amount? I was just wondering because I didn't know if I was just going to do the graphics.

Also, how are we going to get things organized so we can start writing? The time limit is so close and time zones so different.

We can still do it, though. Go Titans![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[COLOR=Navy]Well if you want to have a large part in writing we can put you in on that. Mike and I just volunteered mainly because it's something we can do. I'm not 100% sure about him, but I can't do Graphics for nuts, and have no idea where to upload music or what not. So pretty much mjy only option is to be part of the writing.

The writing will most likely be tomorrow sometime, depending what time you're in. Because Mike will post his ideas (unless anyone has ideas now?), we'll decide what idea we want to follow, then begin. Or that's how I see it.[/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Once you guys get a basic plot outline and a story title then tell me so I can start making graphics. I'll make a header and a HTML layout background.

KW, you can do both if you want. It's entirely up to you. Sakura told you what you should do if you want to write, if you want to help with graphics aswell just say so and we can work on something colabortively.

[b]Also:[/b] When the script is completed, PM it to me and I'll add music. Because I'm so gosh darn cool like that.

[b]Another also:[/b] When writing the script don't make it dark or anything. It's supposed to be Super Hero-y.

[b]Edit:[/b] The White Wakeboarder (silver surfer). Yes? No? Also: Our mode of transportation is totally going to be called The Titanic. And give the teen titans a cameo.

"Man, White. Where's your little brother? Ain't he got his own super group or something? The Teen Titans?"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

Sakura would be right, and I have zero ability to create graphics, nor can I host any music. I can write and that's about it. I've done two or three screen-play formats before, so I have more experience in over all writing than anything else.

My ideas go as follows:


We, the four Titans, have our little superhero group. The plot would start with us gaining our powers alá "Fantastic Four" or something. Maybe we are all just a group of different people, or maybe we are friends, when by strange circumstances, we all come into contact with something that renders us superhuman.

Each of us can come up with our own superpowers, as I already have decided mine, you guys can decide what your own will be. I suppose originality would be appreciated by Sandy.

The other teams will portray the villains (seeing as how they are the opposition already). I was leaning on them being like, a collective crime syndicate. Each team has it's own specific gang and style, but also ally themselves with one another to handle police, us, and the like.

The plot would begin with us interacting, then gaining our powers, being faced with inner conflict, overcoming that to momentarily face our first enemies, face our conflict again, and then some tragedy happens, which unites us to finally take down the bad guys.

Now, I suppose we should all post who your prefered superpower would be. That is if you guys are cool with my story direction. I don't want to take away from anybody, but it would seem we are in some agreement.

Mine shall be hyper-induced adrenaline combined with a super human body structure. Not Superman strong, but more like a Spider-Man or Wolverine. Fast, strong, and with a berserker-like inducable rage (no, not Hulk rage). My character would stay the same size, but his speed, strenght, and reaction time would improve. Forgive me if I'm presenting a strange character, but like I said, I think originality would help us for the victory.

Any objections to this?[/color][/size]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]You mean the *five* titans. :whoops:

Anyway, weren't the Titans elemental deities? They battled the gods using elements didn't they? Or maybe that was only some of them (just remembers the five titans it shows in Disney's Hercules). *shrug*

White (or whatever he ends up being named) shall have the power of time control. Ahaha, not completely, though. He can only slow down time around him. He doesn't stop the world or anything. Only like... a city's worth of area. And it's not paused. It's just [i]really[/i] slow.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Riku]

[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]You're right, Stephen, the titans did have elemental- like powers... but maybe we should be more superhero-y like and not god like? Just a suggestion, really.

Anyway, KW's power shall be that she can manipulate anyone to do as she pleases for only 10 minutes. Any longer would be cheating. ;D

Mike, it's good to have you with us. Where would we be without you?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Zen]

[color=darkred][size=1]

White - Time Control? Cool. Kinda like the main character from 009. That would mean more like advanced super speed, which would be cool.

KW - Like telepathy/mind control? Cool.

Yeah, that whole Titans theme seems.... inaccurate. The Titans weren't element beings, the Titans were a race of giants and the parents of the Gods. Like Chronus was a Titan and the father of the original Olympians. The Gods had a big war with them, and came out on top. Zeus killed his Dad, freed the Olympians from his stomach, and organized them to have a big war. Disney isn't reknowned for it's mytyological accuracy.

So we good with my direction?[/color][/size]

[Ellerby]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Yes. Now we need a title and Sakura/SunfallE's powers.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Sakura]

[color=navy]This is just a quick post before I go to bed because it's 1:15am ><;;

Uhm, for powers, I'm not really sure. Maybe the ability to shrink/grow? Lame I know but it might come in handy....and it's kinda unique...><;;;;

Yeah, I'm really tired right now and my brain's not working. Just wanted to post something.

All the other ideas seem really good so far. Mike, if you want to start that's fine with me since it's your idea and all. Just let me know what to do or whatnot.

*yawns* Anyway, I'm going to sleep.[/color]
