Could I get more of a description of what he looks like. I see that he's pale and 6'2, he's got combed back black hair, and he usually wears suits. What does his face look like? How built or lack there of is he? 

I did say he was slightly toned. As for face, it's kinda hard i'm not good at describing faces either. Well he has brown eyes, no facial hair, average nose, average lips, he's quite handsome I guys. That work I bit better?

Are we still doing this? Don’t mean to bother or be annoying or pester anypony, but the last post was a while ago, by me, and I was just wondering. No worries if we’re done.

Not sure. I just really busy with my roleplays on Quotev.

Going to be writing up the reply soon here. Skylord, do you want the receptionist to know what that company of yours is? 

[Buck Testa 5,505]

I just wanted to share this majestic video with the rp.

Looking through, it doesn't seem like you've locked down signups yet. I've been away and trying to get back into things. Room for one more? I'd like to adapt my character from the previous Super RP you did.

The only thing I know is I'd like to have her be a huge fangirl of Tony, having been doing similar things on a working budget and not having gone to market. Also something something magical instead of technical?

I've always done a magical female Tony Stark in such things.

Help me flesh this out please?

Here's the thing. We already have two characters that are VERY Tony Stark focused. I had to work to differentiate them from one another. We also have an electricity based character also. So yes I'm totally down for another character in the roster, but I would definitely urge you to try something different so I have some diversity to work with in the Roster.

I noticed and that's why I'm asking for help, cause I don't have anything else prepared and creating a new character takes weeks if not months. You know my MESSED UP thought process Buck, and that they're not just simple characters to me

If you want, you can pick an established marvel character that could probably work in the MCU. That'll help save some time making the character.

I did have a character that could possibly work, but she's um, super weird. She's also named Lektra but not the human one I did in the MLP EG earlier. She's a dimensional traveler (from another fandom that doesn't have RP so I use her in supers) and should work, but like I said she's super weird and might be under powered for the MCU

Ehhh, I already had a rather difficult exchange about trying to integrate lore from entirely different universes into this rp. Especially universes I don't know. Also the name Lektra may end up be confusing with Electra being a thing. 

I'd implore you to try for a different character this time round. I think you could come up with something new and exciting for this rp!

Unless you actually plan to participate in the RP as described; don't bother posting. Off topic posting is not permitted here.

Thank you.

Okay I'm seeing one Tony fanboy played by Nexus. Maybe the other one isn't apparent to me?

What I was thinking of doing is basically Static like I did before powers wise, but because she's been working with enchantments on technology she's really closer to Doctor Strange (post his movie of course) than Tony Stark. People can't tell the difference between Magitek and the regular kind unless they practice the art also, and it can be incompatible with standard technology if you want a weakness.

How do you feel about technomancy/technopathy?

As far as name goes I never really understood the connection, since the pronounciation is different. There is no silent E at the beginning, it's just Lek-tra. Two sylables

The electric character was originally very similar to the tony fan, I had him alter his character. He is still very similar, with them both being hackers who work for wealthy organizations and have an interest in weapons dealing. I allow it cause the static one is distinctly more on the badguy end than the other, something I'm planning on toying with. 

I feel that the electric character is already dipping his toe into that field. Again, I'm STRONGLY urging you to try a different path here. I have very little interest in having a third genius tech person with hacking abilities and technological powers that works for a multi million/billion dollar company. Please don't keep making me repeat this point.

Well then unless you can help me diversify, thanks for your time. I tried. See you in other RPs. Really wanted to be a part of this since I like Marvel a lot and never missed an episode of SHIELD, but meh these things happen

BTW I never play rich. I'm usually working on their own salary, so genius yes wealthy no

I can, but It'll be a bit later, I've got a bit of a headache rn. I do want you in this, especially if you have knowledge in SHIELD (something I'm lacking in actually). 

Hell if you want to be a shield agent or something I can work with that. That'll give the tech powers more of a secret agent gadget maker edge instead of yet another tony stark clone.

Well when you have time then, no hurry I guess.

As for SHIELD, it's in a very very weird place. Like the show has been doing very good but it's constantly on the bubble. The directors have written the current season as a series finale cause they don't know if they will get another one.

Without going into major spoilers (unless you want them by PM and want to actually cross the show into the greater MCU which it hasn't been doing), SHIELD in the show at least is very very dead. Like it's there but it's not like it is in the MCU. There are the core agent characters and there are like, three or four actual 'faceless' (they do have names and lines, but you don't have the sense of a big organization anymore since the place is largely empty) agents left if that. The organization took a big hit with the Cap movie and Hydra reveal with a decline in staff over each season but since it hasn't happened yet in your continuity I guess it's still government funded and all that. Since the events of that the show has heavily diverged from the usual SHIELD norm that we know in the movies/comics. They've gone underground and they're basically black ops and off books now as far as missions go, sometimes even facing off with the government instead.

This is the best I can do other than spoiling everything in 5 seasons

That shouldn't be too much of a problem. The rp started right after the reveal of Iron Man being Tony Stark.

@Buck Testa

As accommodating as you have been, I see your distress at two Stark clones. I can differentiate further (my latest attempt at that was with Jackson, although in retrospect, she may have simulated Pepper). Let me know if you need anything of that sort. 

[Skylord Nexus 527]

@Lektra Bolt

If I may give a suggestion for your character. The main problem there seems to be hear is that your characters too techy right? So what if you changed slightly to where she's purely magical, so she can still be smart, but magic smart (and even hilariously inept with tech if you want) because then she can still enchant stuff and use magic, but is then pretty different from everyone else.

Actually I was going to talk to you about the rocket boots, or dress shoes or whatever. The reason why Tony Stark's suit is unique is because the arc reactor supplies it with enough power for it to function. The idea that your character just has hidden rocket boots that operates just as well as Stark's (at the time) revolutionary design powered by a device that teams of scientists couldn't figure out raises eyebrows to say the least. I'd very much like it if you edit those out. The weapon itself is fine, but yeah the rocket boots are a no go for me. Maybe later after he's had a chance to 1) really study stark's tech and/or 2) gets access to miniaturized arc reactor technology.

I will absolutely edit them out. However, they are not “rocket boots” but instead just have a bouncing function. Basically, he can jump like a kangaroo.

I was thinking purely magical implementation of technology like I've been doing with ponies, but I'm kinda flopping around here and as you can tell there isn't a coherent idea here.

Do I want inept with traditional tech? I want some kind of magical tech control too, and no idea how to make it make sense since we're so early in the MCU

And then I'm a spell caster agent of SHIELD? Great idea to differentiate, but I've watched all the episodes and there's no percent for this. They're high tech especially before the Hydra thing, not high magic.

*goes back to flopping around for ideas*

This is true, spell casting has pretty much been relegated to secret cabals so far like the Ancient One's group. They do make magical items though. That might be a thing?

Find yes, make nope. Unknown magical or alien objects (sometimes people, spoiler) like that are called an 084, pronounced Oh Eight Four.

I really like the idea of being a Shield Agent, but there's no precedent for the magical in the organization, let alone Strange is still a regular doctor at this time and by that time Shield is basically dead since it's post Hydra event.

No idea...... 

Here's an idea. Let's say you start as a Shield Agent, and over time we can get her some kind of abilities later on? Like a story thread where she gains abilities?

I'm not sure whether I lamp post would actually be there or not, so I just assumed. If you need me to change that then I can.

Anything firmly connected to the ground would be in the mirror dimension for this. However there is something I would like you to change, and that is his reactions. 

Your character has never seen anything like this before. In fact it wouldn't be that far of a stretch for him to assume it's an illusion of some kind. Buildings and reality itself seem to be folding and expanding at his whim as far as your can tell. This should raise a LOT of questions in his mind and be really disorienting o say the least. Your character is far too level headed for the situation. I know you want him to seem cool, but there is situations like this where even normally level people can freak a little. He could even try to keep a face of calm, but emphasize that he's actually freaking out or something similar. 

 

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Also @Skylord Nexus, please note I'm not saying to change the external reactions per say, but rather the internal ones. Even Tony Stark as calm and quippy as can be can be rattled by something unexpected. Show the audience those reactions, even if the other characters don't see it. Otherwise it robs tension from the scene. You get what I mean?

@Buck Testa

yeah, I was just about to go change it that way actually XD

@Buck Testa

Ok just changed it, it was only a sentence in the second paragraph, so if you need a bit more I can come up with something.
