4 Suggestions: Mini Profiles, OOC Accounts, the Forge, The Database

IC Mini Profiles: I thought of this a moment ago and realized that the site could benefit from some quick reference IC mini profiles for each of the characters that we have. A gathering of information, a few pictures, and links to important areas such as applications, to character trackers or an equipment list (which could be in the tracker), could be extremely useful. I think that for in-character accounts that instead of giving OOC information that IC information could be a benefit, and with the right coding you could roll over or scroll to get more information (though we’d keep contact information). For instance I thought that information that included age, occupation, birth date, a quote, alignment, and some other stuff could be beneficial to an RP.

OOC Accounts: I believe that OOC accounts could pose an important change in the website, an OOC account to keep all the awards, and gather up all of the posts you have across the board, and connect to each of your accounts in a way that the OOC account provides all of the information. So maybe when you view the OOC account profile in a big screen you get all relevant information, and a variety of other things. I really think that this could be aid with the player shop idea that I came up with and had talked to Clockwork/Alpha and Chellizard about, and perhaps when we implement both it could result in an interesting mixture.

The Forge - A Player Shop: Last night I was in the C-box with Chellizard, Alpha and a few other people and I brought up the idea of a plot-driven player shop that put a spin on the usual player shop in an RP. The player shop would be an area where you could buy abilities that are considered to be the equivalent of an Adamantium skeleton in the Marvel Universe, something like that could be a cool power that could be RP’ed. An IC currency that you earn through various deeds, working for one of the companies on the board and more would allow you to buy modifications to your character, things like extra arms, even commissions that cost significantly more and would involve unique technologies and abilities trademarked to your character. In addition every so often we could release a powerful, unique ability that isn’t bought and is instead given to a player as a result of a contest or something. Things like this would give the Superhero RPG a brand so-to-speak and with the Mercury-Vulcan Group having finally cracked the shell and continuously expanding in ways of a player shop where you could buy powers, technology, unique advancements, things like resurrection with a unique spin on it and a thoroughly thought out system for this whole thing would allow us to have a player shop that was better than anyone else’s. As more abilities are thought up, IE. more genes discovered and exploited by Mercury-Vulcan, more abilities could be added and it could allow for things such as temporary power boosters, unique drones, and a myriad of other things. The sky is the limit with what we could think up here and I hope that this is taken seriously in a way that allows it to be approved.

I mean, I know that it would take a bit of thinking to hammer things out but I would like to be involved in this, to be one of the group of people who come up with ideas and powers for the shop and new divisions, and it may not work out in the end but I think if done right it could go over well.

Lore/Database/Wiki: I came up with this idea last night too, and I thought that drafting a few writers to create a database of information, abilities and a variety of other things could be beneficial to the RP. I would like to help out here as well.

Business, Product, Stock & Investment Coming soon in a future suggestion

We have most of those things already. People are free to make a thread with key information about their characters if they wish. Zell is a prime example to that. He has a thread with JUST the base information that you REALLY need to know about his OC's in one collective thread.

The OOC account is eh to me. There's no need for 1 account dedicated to solely OOC things. I have 1 account, and I RP all of my characters on my one account. Other people have an account for each character. It's how they wanna do it, and I say go for it.


The shop, from my understanding, was merely meant to be an RP mechanic for users to explain how they got a power if they wanted to buy it IC, if that makes a lick of sense. Users would still have to purchase said power as an advancement with XP earned for the character, but they would have an RP reason as to how they got the power, and there would be witnesses, or etc that know that that character got that power in RP.


We have a Lore/History page already.

Ah, okay!

A wiki may actually be a good idea, if done right. It would provide a lot more info on things then the lore page does and be more personal. I'm totally ok with not having one........however it's something to think about.

The other idea's i think Chelle pretty much covered.

Leftshark for President, and Bliss for Empress of United Asia. All of you who disagree....
