My time has not been my own today, sorry for the delays.

@Emberskyes - I'm mostly ok with this. Couple questions though. And I'm not near my book for a bit so I might have more after I look at that. First, you list Ravage as though it is a power? As written it is intended as a Collateral Damage, because it affects the whole scene. I'm ok with you affecting metal but the whole scene is to much for a "normal power" and would need to stay as the Collateral Damage. Second, you listed two drawbacks. You only have to have one. If you really want two for effect, I can roll with that but there isn't a bonus for it. I will just apply them interchangeably as I see fit for the story.

I just cut and pasted Ravage from the book. It’s a doesn’t hurt people version of Collateral Damage, so it’s a modifier to the Harm ability you can use, this is the hurts people version.

Mass Illness: You can emanate a wave of harm from your body that affects everyone in your zone. It kills nameless NPCs, while named NPCs and PCs must successfully defend with Physique against Fair (+2) opposition to avoid taking a moderate physical consequence.

Also, totally understand the problems of the world being overwhelming, it also sucks being confined to home because of a cough...

I am watching Jumanji anc just realized I made a toxic Ruby Roindhouse. Lol!

@Emberskyes - Ok, I guess I'm confused at what you want still. So your power is Super Martial Arts, that's a fine start.

So that includes Basic Precognition and Master Precognition, Harm w/Piercing (so you can ignore the skin contact clause of Harm), Basic Super Toughness (to ignore some damage). Then for Collateral Damage you want to let loose and harm all metal objects in the scene, opposed to people? Does that sum up what you want to do? You listed two Drawbacks...both Can't Turn It Off and Too many Possibilities (causing headaches) Do you really want two of them?

I’m good with 2 disadvantages, it gives you more to chew on and yes, super martial arts.

I could make my weakness cake. 🤣

I’m not trying to be a pain.

@Emberskyes - No worries. I don't mean to sound mad. I just felt like we were circling the same point and not moving toward completing the character. If that is your list, go ahead and update your sheet. I see 5 stunts overall for your powers. On your sheet there are already 3 stunts. You can have all of those, but your Refresh and starting Fate Points is only 1.

Your sheet is also missing your High Concept and Trouble as of this posting. You have to have those before we can get started. This goes for DeJoker too.

Done, take a look and see, any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Now I just need to find an appropriate image, oddly I can’t quite find, the one.

Sorry for the delay, worlds on fire and all...

Being a defensive character who needs charging up (so to speak) is where I'm going with my absorbing type. He'll need to be pummeled a bit before he has the offense he'll need to respond in kind.

As a question before we begin, this place 10 minutes from now we wake up in, is it familiar or did we go to sleep in our apartment on Soho and wake up in the Ancient One’s monastery in Tibet?

I like that idea. Need suggestions on how to build it? Any other ideas for High Concept or anything?

More like the second one.

I don't want to spoil to much, but they have like mag-lift trains for public transport and the police have access to hover cars so they can help chase or track flying villains. Minor holographic projections and such. A slightly futuristic city. Roads, stoplights, traffic jams, and street vendors are still a thing. You will recognize it as A CITY that works more or less like we do in our modern day, but there will be advancements because there are "super science" heroes making technology better in increments.

See that’s way more than I needed to know for the beginning waking up in a strange bedroom is ... never a good thing. Waking up hungover in a strange bedroom with someone you’ve never met is down right terrifying.

Yes I was leaving these for later because I was having trouble with coming up for one for these 2 items... I mean I wake up in a world into a completely new identity with a completely new set of abilities -- those 2 items seem a bit hard to define or anything I would define would most likely drastically morph

High Concept: Who Am I
Trouble: New Entity in a New World

On the terms of High Concept and Trouble are the worlds parallel enough that the gambling debit I ran up to Jimmy the Cheesepuff in world 1 exist in world 2? ie. Am I literally replacing this worlds version of me who has the same past as I do? That’s kind of what I went with, my family problems in A exist here as well.
Mar 29, 2020 1:51 pm
Even if not, it'd be ironic if your character is like l, "Yes, I'm finally free" only to find out he's in debt to super powered gangsters in this world
Mar 29, 2020 2:46 pm
High Concept and Trouble are something you have to have. The form the core of your characters. The other stuff you can figure out as we go.

The idea that you woke up in a different world and a different body than you remember leaving you wondering "Who am I" could be a good Trouble, but for your High Concept, I really feel like you need to define who that person you think you are/were is. It's the core of the game story, being a normal person who wakes up one day in a world of Super Heroes.
Mar 29, 2020 2:49 pm
@Emberskyes - I can work with that idea, so yeah, your character could have parallel issues in both worlds. Like family or gambling issues. That could be fun.
Mar 29, 2020 2:51 pm
Okay so -- Trouble : Who was I and Who am I now

High Concept: ???

So I still need some help with this one as I am actually struggling with summing up this into One statement as none of the ones I can think of seem to apply
