The Troper Brawl Discussion Thread

Seeing as Troper Brawl has now taken on a more plot-driven and story-based tone, rather than the random brawl of the first twenty or so pages, I felt it was time to make a thread so that we can discuss World Building, plot, feelings about what is going on in the thread, and OUT Of Character (OOC) conversations.

As such, please keep OOC conversations in the main thread to a minimum and discuss such things here. We don't want to clutter the thread.

My new guy is an infamous vigilante whom sabotages the city's factories and has started countless riots since the last 5 years. As such, Tauros Electronics put up a massive bounty for his head, Amounting to $45,000,000 dead or alive.

Just a thought, but as its water orbs the villains are after, Battle in the Rain ought to be a theme during fights with major villains.

Strigon, any details about this city the others ought to know about to get around?

...Interesting.

Now, as for Axeman's motivation: The U.C.F.M.S.E.A.C.I.S.G. is now a legitimate research and development firm. I'm a high-up in the group, and also their lead weapons tester.

The group gets it's materials from a rival mega-corporation, Sturm, Blackwell & Hammer Ltd., who are opposed to Taurus Electricals and have sent me in to mess things up for them.

The city is divided to 3 rings, 1st ring and largest is the slums where the poor and unwanted live also the site of numerous factories and waste treatment plants. Ring 2 is where most of the middle-class and entrepreneurs live, expect it to look a lot like a combo of New York, Las Vegas and a modernized Minas Tirith and the 3rd one is Atmos ring, Where the central gov't and the rich reside. All the rings are divided by large 5 story high walls and people get around via highway, elevator, stairs or maglev train.

Hey, I was involved pretty early on then left, but now I would like to return. Can someone give me a plot summary?

Rei And rifflet will eventually fight each other when Rei tries Jumping Off the Slippery Slope by attempting to blow up a train full of the families of Tauros Electronics's head scientists, including his little cousin. (whom he doesn't recognize anymore

Well, after a lot of effort, we ended the reign of the dread haemomancer Strigon, and Game Chainsaw sacrificed his life to kill him. However, unbeknowst to us, he was the chosen guardian of an Orb Of Power, capable of controlling one of five elements, and his consciousness was stored in the orbs.

Skip forwards a few years, and we are all in a large city, fighting against the forces of the Corrupt Corporate Executive Sindri Tauros and his [[Warhammer40000 Chaos Sorcerer]] companion Mephistopheles, who are intent on using the power of the orb to their own ends.

Cheers. Now, all I have to do is think of a way to get back in without Ass Pulling my involvement.

You're part of a military group and you were sent as an insurgent into the City, working against Tauros Electronics, who essentially runs the entire place?

Makes sense, considering my character's equipment (cloak, combination sniper rifle/assault rifle, etc).

Posting now.

At some point, one character should stumble upon Chainsaws Guardian Orb: a concentration of 50 orbs which serves as the guardians regeneration point. Also, the orb that Chainsaw was carrying in his crown before he died. Chainsaw should return... albeit not of the same appearance... shortly after that, probably while the team are in a pinch.

Am I doing fine, or am I breaking established canon?

You're doing great at the moment, Flanker.

Got it. It's going to get a bit boring sitting around at a checkpoint, so perhaps you and Rifflet in the powered armour pass it at some point?

I'm still me, and I'm still alive. Will pop up once you guys are in trouble. For now assume I'm following and observing from a distance.

Is it okay if my guild has one orb?

Makes sense. Though bear in mind there's an entire world of these things spread out, and only 1000 of each type; even powerful organisations would likely only have one, or a handful at most.

Also, where is this museum? In the second ring?

DIMITRI'S HERE!

^WHAT A TWIST!

I'd imagine it would be in the second ring. I'm guessing most of the commercial buildings would be in the middle ring, if the central ring is restricted to governmental buildings and the houses of the very rich.

I'm apparently going to play this as The Four Lords...! Man, I love these guys... >_>

As I mentioned in the game itself, I'm going to need to name our freedom fighters...

Give them some form of identifying mark or calling card and name them after that, at least informally. Like the Browncoats from Firefly.
