I like this.

I agree Tiph is quite talented. We are indeed fortunate to have him amongst us.

I always thought how cool it would be to incorporate an interface for this site that would allow users to manipulate a 3-D rendering of their character and manipulate it when they felt like.

Someone, me or any other 3-D artist would have to create the model, which would be imported into the interface. Then the user could modify it by simply accessing the 'modify mode' and bend and twist the character, zoom in and zoom out as they saw fit. Shadowing is easily changed by modifying the angle of the light and different backgrounds could be imported from a library or one could choose their own background which would be automatically re-sized.

You would even be able to import other pre-existing 'NPC's', like a RAID trooper if you would want to depict an action scene. The modifications of the images would be quite quick, or depending on the amount of time a person had could add more details if they so desired.

Character names and other info would just remain consistent on another layer, and when done, the person would just hit 'export' and create a 'new image' or 'overwrite previous'.

That's just an idea off the top of my head, haven't really thought about it in detail, but it would be cool for some (obviously not all) and add another dimension to the story writing.

Sheesh...sure got quiet around here...

Aye, been waiting for 'Sweet Home Chicago' to keep rolling. No worries though, Jasper's just chilaxing in the back of the Caddy.

So the forum was busting at the seams, so now we have two. It seems fitting (forgive the pun) since the two stories are actually very different. While they share a common theme, the heroes of breakaway are greatly oppressed while in what is called 'New Dawn' for now, the meta-humans are starting to become popular again in society.

Oh, and SubBear, you may want to a Chapter number in front of the story thread. Topics will appear in alphabetical order, so following chapters will then hold their order.

I likey, I likey a lot. I have added much today, hoping to lure some new customers...

Nice work Tiph.

No prob, I really like what your doing with The Breakaway, and I personally think it's awesome to have two forums dedicated to 'super-hero' style stories. Keep up the good work!

Oh, one more thing, Bear. If you want, write up a new description for Breakaway and I'll change it for ya.

I couldn't figure out how to move my post for Fyedka from the first Heroes to this one so I just reposted it in the character submissions here

There really isn't a way to move a single post... you gotta copy them and delete the old ones.

I just have to say... interesting little surprise in that post, Sub Bear

I think it will work well, Kristina is Russian as is young master Romanov (Although he has been an American for years). Besides we could connect this storyline to the mysterious Mikhail, perhaps the man that is shadowing Kristina works for this Mikhail. I was thinking that Kristina has avoided going to prison by working with federal authorities, of course she could use her powers and escape at will but she likes the thrill of the hunt, and she likes to be paid well. Also she would love to find John, Gabriel and Bug and have another shot at them (she got her hooks into John once).
