In respond to your thoughts Kat, I answer in kind.

Yep, I fully intended to let people determine the course of their out of control powers. Using Forte as an example, if I used it on myself, he'd get some misfires from the wrong places on his body as the downside, but much stronger blasts when they did fire properly. As an example.

Yea, I was leaning towards letting people control them themselves, hence why I gave them personalities people can work from. There are just a few initial threads, which I've talked over with certain people, that I'll control them for plot story sake.

At this point in time, I have no plans for any Zodiac to be defeated or anyone set to defeat them. I imagine certain people(namely some folks who are on the wrong end of them) who will want a claim but Ill deal with that when the time comes. But people can certainly request the claim to be the downfall of a Zodiac.

I have no issue with allowing people to face the Zodiacs; it's sort of the idea that the Zodiacs are there to deal with the mutants. While they are intended to take down the stronger ones, several of them are better suited/enjoy taking on those who aren't necessarily the best of the best. And of course, with any NPC, taking them out will have to get past me as they are technically my NPCS. ^_^

Heh....you're catching on to the main point of these guys Kat. ^_^ To make the Order and the X-men possibly work together against a mutual threat.

Questions:

1. Hmmm....I think its more along the lines of no "official" government support. As in, there are some in government who are likely for this, but are supporting it through the shadows to keep some of the pressure off him. Which could come into play through the police force and its mutants encountering "red tape" in dealing with them.

2. The ally that implants loyalty, or as Alli better came up with, beliefs, is like his right hand man/women. Im debating them being either a family member or someone that trusts him completely. Not quite sure on that, opinions welcome on that front. As for what they do, they help keep the Zodiacs from having second thoughts about their actions.

3. Yes. Yes they can.

I'm totally interested, both because it looks interesting, and because I haven't been apart of a big plot yet! I'm most drawn to the Libra character because Alien on Alien fun with a head parasite , It'd also give me an excuse to write some more creepy Sylar threads!

I'm fully game for this plot. Bennu will soon be roosting at Sanctuary, claiming it as his protected turf, and he can and will rain fiery divine justice on any who so dares hurt his chosen people. (Read: I wouldn't mind a Zodiac fight. Or permission to light their headquarters on fire while no one's home, then cheerfully fly back to the Sanc and preen his feathers for a job well done. That'll teach 'em.)

(PS: He also cares very, very little for proof, so "no proof connecting the General to the Zodiacs" would not be much of a problem for him, when it comes time for a final boss fight.)

Alright, I'm probably gonna start this thing, or at least the setup threads for it, this weekend. Depending on how willing my muse is willing to commit to the task. (Which is 50/50 on the best of days xD)

In any case, I have four Main threads that are set up(which Ill note below) and then Ill work on setting up possibly a couple of open, chaos threads. The four Main's are set for certain people, while the others are open and free to join. Bear with me if I'm a bit slow, since for these threads, Im most likely going to control the Zodiacs initially to make things run along smoothly(if I go insane, Ill probably pass some off. Maybe. We shall see >_>)

Thread 1: Isabel vs Cancer/Aries

Thread 2: Cold Steel vs Leo/Sagittarius

Thread 3: Zephyr vs Gemini(Male)/Aqaurius

Thread 4: Forte vs Taurus/Capricorn

Thread 5: Virgo/Pisces/Libra/Scorpio/Gemini(Female) + Soldiers vs Mutants.

After these threads are complete(or close enough Id say), the Zodiacs will be free game for those who want to face one. Note: If anyone wants to play a certain Zodiac for threads or for a specific thread with someone, please, post it here and let me know. Ill record it on the main page or in a new thread...some nice little log somewhere to help keep things all nice and tidy. ^_^

Edit: Apologies; all the Zodiacs engaged in this first battles are going to survive. Their purpose here is to make a statement by taking out some heavy/well known mutants to prove their strength. It's gonna be worse for our guys, not theirs. ^_^

Update:

The first of the Zodiac threads, intended for Isabel, is up for all to see. Tune in if you wish.

Now, I need some input for the open thread, which is thread five. I'm going to send the remaining Zodiacs to cause chaos in the city and for that, I need some volunteers. Libra, as I've listed, is able to send people into a rage and to some degree, control them. I'm looking for people who'd like to come into the thread under his control and then those who might possibly want to become his pawns in thread. Just to have some mutant on mutant action that I don't have to control so people can enjoy themselves even if I'm slow.

Any takers?

I want to be a pawn Forte!

If you happen to be going around the Sanctuary, you could see how well Libra could control part of a hivemind? Crow can be volunteered for a (partial) pawn!

Ryden is fair game if you'd like.

I'm down for the open thread in whichever capacity you want. I'm down for whatever.

Enders/Ryden/Sylar/Crow. Thanks guys! Ill keep you in mind when I start up the thread.

Update:

Thread 2 is up and ready for readers. Hope you enjoy!

Thread 3 is up. Take a look if you all wish.

Im glad this is getting started ^^ can't wait to play with the zodiaks

I'd be cool with the zodiacs attacking any of my characters.

Ashton's on the NYPD. He'd be a good target.

Shin's an X-men. He also helped CS after they attacked him.

Ami and Aurum are not really likely to want to fight, or win against, any of the Zodiacs, but Lenna'd have a vendetta.

Oh, OH! One of the Zodiacs could kill Roach! That would really make him mad!


Also, he could take the opportunity to crawl into Muse's mouth while she sleeps. I've been wanting to do that for ages!

Who would you recommend for the task?

Not for crawling into Muse's mouth, that's Roach's job. I's talking about the killing Roach part >.>

*pops in* I'm volunteering Andy in she might be needed for! She makes a great target, what with being so blatantly green and all~

I'm also volunteering (I guess. >_>) Andy and Saph's wedding to be crashed/exploded/setonfire. There would probably be a lot of mutants gathered for it, and since she's a very visible mutant, and Saph is an X, it might make a fair target? *shrugs and starts blood-proofing her wedding dress just in case*
