Michael sounds like an interesting, and very damaged, person... He should fit right in with the rest of us broken toys :D

Hi Knighthawke, glad you can join us.
And thanks for bringing a beloved backstory to this game. We can certainly make it work. Go ahead and revise the Aberrant 1e rules for character creation, and let me know if you need help with the quirky maths that it uses. Also feel free to read all the threads and backgrounds so that you can get a sense of what the others are playing, but don't let that unduly affect your choices.
We're not using the Aberrant background setting. Instead, it's a 'homebrew' which I'll take no credit for, as it'll be directly lifted from an amalgamation of the DC/Marvel universes, but given a more dystopian spin. We're in the early stages, so you'll be able to see the world unfold.

Hello all. I'll try and get a character made in the next few days. I've been reading through some of the threads and trying to come up with ideas.
Jan 24, 2022 9:23 pm
Options are wide open, LtI. Should be plenty of opportunity for a good character since we're just settliing into things.

Welcome welcome, glad you could join us. We're totally open to having you pitch whatever preliminary ideas you might be considering and we can go from there.

Hello all. My idea for a character is a very young nova with a focus on mega-mental attributes. I'm envisioning a 12-14 year old kid who is a genius inventor. Might go with Whiz Kid as my super alter ego. I like the idea of a superhumanly intelligent individual trapped in the body of a child. Not certain about the group dynamics among the characters yet, but maybe he could fit in like an honorary kid brother.
He resents being treated like a child (even though he is one). Since he isn't legally an adult, he doesn't have the same legal rights as one, and this frustrates him to no end. A lot of his time is spent railing against a world that he views as extremely ageist and incapable of recognizing his brilliance. He will most likely be an orphan. Maybe his parents were killed or taken away by J.A.N.U.S., the Super Sept, or some other group, so now he works to oppose them. He could also be a runaway who left home because he can't tolerate the stupidity of most adults (compared to him).

That sounds like a fun character to add to the dynamic. Any powers or just Mega-Attributes?

[ +- ] Hmm. Whiz Kid...

Sounds good! I like the parents taken away or killed angle, we can work that (or plot twist of Amazing Spider-man 2, parents left in order to protect Peter). I can as usual try to work the group dynamics by doing an individual thread first.
And if he's an inventor type I also have a ready hook for the Ordinal Foundation.

Hey there, just letting you all know that I've basically finished my character. I just need to figure out my inventions, and then I can submit him tomorrow.
Wondering, would a small power armor suit be too over the top for this game? I was thinking about portraying my character like Iron Lad from Marvel Comics. This suit isn't his main schtick, but he uses it when it's needed for combat situations. I've designed him as being incredibly smart but not very physically formidable without adults protecting him.

None of us are all that well protected either so I wouldn't worry too much about it. A power armor suit would definitely not be over the top for this setting...

Just add it in to the rest of whatever equipment you have. I'll be happy to balance your starting character with everyone else's so no worries there if you've put in too much or too little.
