For Nightfly's influence

"You look up to your teammates; they seem to have this superhero thing figured out. Give two of them Influence over you."

Nightfly looks up to i.e. these characters have influence over zir:

- SECOND PHASE / MICHELLE HAYAFU (Legacy @Chloe) - she REALLY seems to know what she's doing as a superhero, it's in her blood.
- SOLSTICE / ARIA KING (Outsider @Dreamweaver) - she can like, FLY?! that's AMAZING SUPERHERO STUFF RIGHT THERE, oh and also flying, blue skin, red hair, big crush

Chloe Inactive forever!

Everyone can take an influence over Second Phase / Michelle

Quote:

You’re a part of this team, for better or worse, and you care what they think. Give Influence to all
of your teammates.

For when the team came together : We defeated a dangerous enemy.

Thinking someone Lex tried to go for alone and underestimated so the fight spilled out into somewhere public.

Perhaps Steven Robertson - Thought be a minor crook who has connections to The Doctor, a large hulking villain that had been physically breaking into various locations.

In actuality he was The Doctor, augments by strange serums and Potions, and transformed when cornered with Lex trying to intimidate for info causing a fight to break out and proving to be ato strong for even her Wild Claw form especially ashe she still wasn't used to it.

Happy for any other suggestions

I think that's a good basis!

@Dreamweaver - I don't think you've submitted Solstices character sheet yet. I didn't see it when I just checked but I did see Nightfly's I think? Go to the "Game Details" page and check that you submitted.

@LightofMidnight - I love this and I'm good with it.

I'll just clean it up and streamline it so that we can maybe get them to run together a bit... I guess I'm shooting for a second person, casual, after action report. And these are YOUR answers so feel free to be definitive and take a few liberties.

Quote:

"We defeated Steven Robertson aka The Doctor. Who, in many strange cases, has been
known to be a villain who uses serums and potions to turn himself into a hulking and undeniably evil brute.

When confronted and interrogated by Lex, at first alone then with others, he took his alchemical formula, turning himself into The Doctor. The Doctor's strength matched Wild Claw and so the fight spilled out from the originally secluded location."

Our Outsider is up next

Sorry for vanishing like that! The description you wrote for Mirage looks perfect, Dreamweaver. :)

Went ahead and submitted my character sheet as it currently stands. Still need to add a few things tho

@Dreamweaver - I see it this time. Thanks and Approved. And your up for the "When we came together" stuff

Solstice (Aria King)

Oct 14, 2023 2:28 pm

For Aria's when the team came together: "We didn’t trust each other at first, but that changed. How? Why?"

Halcyon City faced the threat of Sunscorch, a sunlight-absorbing extraterrestrial villain targeting Aria's unique energy. As she attacked the city's solar farm. Aria, still new to Earth and wary of her unconventional teammates, rushed to the scene alone. Soon she found herself cornered and nearly defeated. However, several of her superhero friends arrived in the nick of time. Nightfly's invertebrate distractions, Captain Teleport's power-neutralizing strikes, Mirage’s psychic barriers, and Second Phase's swift rescues showed Aria the team's commitment to protect the city and to defend each other.

The fierce battle culminated at the city's solar farm, now joined by Wild Claw and Alloy Angel at a critical moment. The combined efforts of the heroes thwarted Sunscorch's plans. In the quiet aftermath, atop a city skyscraper, Solstice shared her origins, learning some of her teammates' stories in return. This shared experience and vulnerability forged a newfound bond of trust among the heroes.

Let me know your thoughts and any edits!

For Nightfly's "When our team first came together "We saved the life of someone important, either to the city or to us. Who was it? Why are they important?"

Jaina, a schoolfriend of Lex 'Wild Claw', was caught in the Hellish House - a nightmarish trap built by supervillain The Architect. A residential house ("House of Leaves" is my inspiration here) full of twisted dimensions, unspeakable darkness, un-mappable labyrinths, and something awful that has no name.

The Architect tricked Janina inside and she was almost instantly lost in its depths. As she was starting to understand the awful situation she was in, she could message Lex with a cry for help.

Lex dashed to the location, tried to help, but couldn't save Janina on her own. So she called in the full team, and together we could save Janina.

Janina is important to Lex, is the person who helped her leave her criminal father, and who looks after her, takes her in, when she gets in trouble.

Very happy to make change to this! Found it harder than I expected to come up with something...

Next up, @timplausible/Leo

Aren't all of our answers supposed to pertain to a single incident? So we should each be adding details to the fight with The Doctor? Or am I confused about this part?

Oct 14, 2023 9:49 pm

Ah, yes, @timplausible, I just went and read that section of the rules properly and indeed, it should all be about the same incident. My mistake! I'll post something that builds on the previous two answers tomorrow. Sorry for the confusion!

Oct 15, 2023 8:13 am

@Dreamweaver checking out the rules, prompted by @timplausible, I think our answers to "When our team first came together" are supposed to build on each other, referencing the same incident. My understanding is that what you wrote for Aria is a new incident (as I did with my previous post).

Thus, @Aegis, wanted to check whether indeed @Dreamweaver and I should repost something different, something directly building on the incident described by @LightOfMidnight i.e. the encounter with The Doctor?

I do believe it is meant to be the same incident, why I left min open ended with spilling into the street as a set up.
(Could also aid the trust thing as with two transformed people fighting recklessly in the streets may have taken others moment to figure which was the good guy, or that there was a good guy :P)

Also currently trying to find a transformed pic.
Edit: I originally referenced a spirit that Beardhare has let me know is taboo to reference, so edited this post as I was not aware. Just to explain the conversation that happens below.

What are peoples thoughts on these? -

[ +- ] Potential Wild Claw pics

@LightOfMidnight that Anishinaabe spirit has strong taboos against referring to or depicting it. So I'd go with something clearly and distinctly different from it - not an image that was made with it in mind.

I was not aware. (I was aware it had been very internetized so wasn't actually going to call the form one, ) Thanks for informing me. I won't go for those then and will remove.

(I am just fond of deer antlers/stags as forest guardian so a beat with such antlers of course drew up a lot of those pics.)
