whatcha got so far?
maybe you could post a link to your team, and we could see what you have to work with.
heroes? workers? pacifists? con-haters? ... anti-heroes?

I was thinking what might be cool even would be like almost digital mini comics that follow the progression of HMW.

I'm still level 0 so I haven't seen a ton of stuff, but the scenarios are intriguing and the battle system lays out the action and the outcome for us already.

Slightly different but of the same ilk in which your talking about because maybe we can do some fun stuff with a mini digital comic for the back story too - including our characters.


Either way I'd love to be involved!

We could kind of all collaborate with different cover art and different people working on different aspects and stuff - and there would be two versions - the Autobot and the Decepticons but we'd obviously tie them together somehow!

It'd be neat!
we could have, like, little stories and random pictures showing the battles and maybe some of the life that takes place in between them.
I'd love to make my characters revolve around a central story (of course, it'd be easier for me, since I have minor characters than it would be for people that wrote out their chars to be very important individuals)

maybe a timeline?

Step 1) Rightclick the [view team] link in your registry.
Step 2) Depending on browser, you'll have an option like 'copy link location', select this.
Step 3) Copy and paste this bit of code replacing the bits between the *'s with the link and text:
Code: Select all
[url=*right click and 'paste' your teams link here*]*put the text you want us to see here*[/url]

Step 4) ???
Step 5) PROFIT!

We certainly can, but remember that these are your characters, not ours. There's something rolling around in the back of your head, since yoou came up with the names. So I'll propose a few archetype questions, all yo have to do is say "yes" or "no", maybe give us a name to go with, and we'll go from there.

So, first question, who is the leader? Is that MightyPrimus, since he is you? Or someone else? (don't worry about how their rankings fall within the team, it's all based on random numbers)

Is the leader a wisebot, or a new guy? If the latter, do you see one of the team as being his "mentor" like how Ratchet was to Prime in Animated, or Rhinox to Primal, Kup to HotRod, etc.

Do you want a medic?


Do yo forsee a want for an overprotective character? One who's just a big softy?

How about someone who likes weapons?

Random one: Name a particularly enjoyable TV show. Better yet, name 2.

Red: I have not forgotten your invitation into Extinction, I just have not had time to sit down and send the PM. I'd like to try out soem ideas though on ya, see what fits.

Great, that helps alot. Can't do much with Ghost Whisperer, but there's some Iconic character bios in CSI:NY. I've lost track of Cartoon Network of late, so I can't really do a lot with Legion character archetypes, but there's something for soemone to work with.

I'm getting though a slight Police-vibe for something from the two. Any good?

I've done a few old race bios, let me see if I can dig one up. One of my old ch
aracters was a ringleader to a series of circuit roadcourse races, and when the Decepticons showed up, they used their circuitious winding paths a lot like the old Underground Railroad to move civillians out of the paths of war and into peaceful city-states. If you'd like, I'd be more than willing to slap Downshift with one of thier old bios.

By chance, how "old" wuld you forsee Laserlight? Was he a war-trained medic? Or did he come forom a late class from a Golden Age of Cybertron Training facility? I wish I had lifeline's old bio, but his I'm sure is lost to the ages. I don't even think I have the character art for him.

maybe you can give an explanation in the leader's bio as to why he is called "MightyPrimus"
