Heroes virtual season?

[Triligors]

I think mutants will probably be used in the series, because it's become a known term. Also, I forgot, but wasn't one of the characters in Heroes a comic book fan? Thus, the term could travel around. Using it depends on whether you want to or not. The president though would probably not use the term.

Presidential attention will not be immediate. But, I think with strange happenings it is eventually bound to catch his attention. Somewhere it will 'spill' and word will be out. All depends on how the Pilot of Heroes handles it or is even mentioned at all. Possibly when the convict character wakes up outside of his cell the security camera (if there is one) catches something?

For a while, unless the series states otherwise, it will be an isolated incidence. So, like Unbreakable it would probably be "What the heck? There is no such thing!" While other characters, like Mr. Glass will be "You're a mutant. You have powers. It exists."

So, since I think this is modern day. Reality. Marvel and DC comics are in the world, thus the obvious terminology mutants. But, probably not used on presidential speeches (if ever...?)

There could still be different terms - I've heard "metahumans", "superhumans", and "freaks" used - any one of them would be a suitable substitute.

Note: Both forums can be used for general conversation.

But, most importantly if you do write scenes and want to put somewhere for the other writers to see- do not post on here, post on the web page.

Don't know what the problem could have been. What did it say? Or, what happened?

 

[Triligors]

Yeah, freaks is an obvious one. But, any term that has been coined for the homo superior- use it. Because, comic books exist in the world and it's probably going to use several known terminologies.

True - but you'll notice in other superhero/mutant shows, they mention comic books, but not existing characters or terms. Clark in "Smallville" doesn't reference Spider-Man, for instance. They all happen to convenienty exist in alternate dimensions where X-Men, Spider-Man, and Batman don't exist.

Superhumans is a good generic term, and the one that I'll probably be using the most.

Metahumans sounds SO flippin' cool, but I'm pretty sure it is mainly a DC term.

 

[Byrd Man]

I tried posting in the new forum i screwed up somehow, but heres my character after i made some changes.

Can someone please post this in the official forum

SPOILER WARNING










Name: Aras Basra
Location: Middle-East
Power: Can generate an explosion around his body that varies in intensity,because of his lack of control.(like the guy in Daredevil:Underboss)
Background: Middle eastern man whose family was kidnapped by terrorist. The terrorist will kill his family if he dosn't assainate certain government officials. The terrorists gave him a list of names and he must exacute each one to get his family back. He is not realy a bad guy, but he cares to much about his family to stop.
Age: 20s
Possible meet up situation: He goes to America to assasinate the president and gets stopped by another one of the heroes. He explains the situation with his family and the hero(S)try to help. Aras refuses but the reluctant hero combats the terrorist anyway. Aras family dies. I don't want this to happen till sometime in the middle of the story.

I think it could work if after a terrorist bombing in some big city a hero goes to Washington to stop (either exacution or Registration plan)and meets up with Aras

sounds intresting since my charcter lives in DC

thats Kick A$$ our characters will meet up then

I like his name now much better than I did the last one - calling him "Terrorist-Sounding Name" was offensive on so many levels I can't even begin to name them.

Yeah i know i just wrote down what i was thinking at the time

 

[The Squirrel]

Do we know that the characters on the show are going to be announcing their powers to the world?

How could the President be for or agianst them if he doesn't even know they exist?

In the 4400 it got around to the public that they were returned with powers.

But do we know that Heros will make it public knowledge?

 

[giggs11uk]

The gov won't know at first but i think they will eventualy after various news reports

Blue Hell? You must be in Chapel Hill, then! I'm a Heels fan,myself and currently living in Blue Hell (Bull City), NC! Guess it's all relative!

Ok, here's another baddie (seem to be a bit short on those):

Name: Christy Loveless
Age: 15
Power: redirect any mutant power.
Father: Geoffrey Loveless - owner of IEO International, a huge Import/Export/shipping company.
Mother: Sandra Hunt Loveless - Former Adult film star/model - disappeared mysteriously

Feeling her father had something to do with her mother's disappearance, Christy ran away from home at age 13 and adapted to life on the mean streets of Chicago with surprising quickness. On the streets she learned to use her fists. Having her father's shrewd common sense and her mother's looks and charisma helped her to not only survive but quickly make the right connections on the street to take her to the top.

Now in the employ of the biggest crime lord in the city, she is used as a weapon against other superpowered enemies who might try to take what her boss possesses. As her powers are needed so seldomn, Christy spends the majority of her time trying to piece together clues that will lead her to her mother.

All the while, her father is sparing no expense in finding his daughter...

Thank god. Another female character. We needed one.

I'm confused about her power, though. What is it?

Well, I know we are in need of more female characters, actually.

The character itself sounds decent enough. It'll be interesting to see how you expound on this mother/child relationship, especially considering they are living together.

Clarity and some grammar correction would make this a lot easier to understand and appreciate.

GrammarBatGirl - Indeed. This is to be a writing project, so proper usage of the English language is key.

 

[Triligors]

I will include the recent charaters. But, from here on out- anymore and this will really become a pain in the neck for me to piece together. So, after this point NO MORE characters.

Reminder note to those just joining: This is a VIRTUAL SEASON, not roleplay. Thus, these will be fanfics put together in a similar way that heroes is. This is why I have been sending confirmation notices out- this board isn't for just coming up with characters and leaving it at that. It's coming up with unique, interesting characters that you plan to write a fiction either in prose or script form (but, the final product will be script form) for the virtual season for.

 

[Spider - Man]

Thank god. Another female character. We needed one.

I'm confused about her power, though. What is it?

She can redirect a mutant's power back against them or someone else. Sort of like she's mirroring their attack. Purely defensive. But as time goes on, she MAY discover more depth to her power and how to use it offensively...

 

[Triligors]

It is IMPORTANT for every writer that wants to participate to CONFIRM whether or not they are planning to write a fiction for the character they came up with. Confirmation is MANDATORY for anyone who wants to participate, because there may be those who posted who have no intention of developing their character for the Virtual Season.

So like a mirror/counter thing.

Hmm...that's pretty neat.

Hmmm....I got the impression from the "Heroes" details that there aren't supposed to be any immediately identifiable reasons why these people developed powers - that seems like it might be one of the mysteries of the show. You might want to wait before writing in a reason for powers in your contribution
