Character Creation and Discussion

Tbf a Google sheets doc we can all edit may not be a bad shout

Two people get influence over Mirage, "These people matter for what you need to do. "

Thinking Second Phase and Leo.

As well, for the backstory section I had left blank, Who, outside of the team, is crucial to defeating your nemesis? I think my answer is Mister Phase. Maybe he and Doctor Metcett were enemies in the past, and he knows some kind of weakness and/or put a stop to a previous plan.

Quite likely that Mr Phase had been opposing villians like The Doctor. He did go out to fight him (only he didn't) when the team got together.
So yeah, he might know a weakness. And that's incidently very great for setting Michelle in the shadow of her dad again, where she wants to get out of :)

Cool! Second Phase has influence on her self ;)

A good schedule to track it though.

Just to confirm that you've got Nightfly's influence correctly tracked in the chart at the top of this thread #ThumbsUp

Don't know how helpful it'll be, but here's a Google Sheet tracking Influence that you should all be able to edit. It contains the info currently at the top of the thread about Influence.

If you want, I can try next week and make an actual character tracker thingy with it (he says, having never made one before, although used a few...)

(I use Google Docs to keep my own record of my character - here's Nightfly's sheet in case you're curious)

You’ve gotta be your own best friend.

@BeardHare - thanks for putting that together. I’ll move the link to the top post. I’m fine working off of that if no one else has a problem with it. Cleaner and certainlY easier.

Got my finished character art now, both for superheroing and civilian

@bowlofspinach - Oh ho! That’s slick! Did you do that yourself?

@timplausible - Question for you… how does the teleportation and power canceling power work for Capt. Teleport? My original thinking was kind of Nightcrawler style teleportion mostly just yourself with maybe a couple of others and mostly only where you can see. Is that what you were thinking?

And the power negation, is that for people you teleport? Or an area around you when you teleport in/out?

Hah, no, I have zero artistic talent. I commissioned something.

I was also thinking Nightcrawler-ish teleportation. I have been thinking that after teleporting he radiates a field that negates powers in a few-foot radius around him, but that field dissipates after 30 seconds or something.

When coming up with the character, I didn't want him to have two powers completely unrelated to each other, so that's why I came up with this. Currently I'm thinking the power negation is not voluntary (though maybe he'll learn to control it). So when teleporting teammates in a fight, he needs to drop them off then port away real quick.

An alternate idea would be that the teleporting process itself negates powers of those he takes with him. That would be more inconvenient for the team, however. Though it might add to his loner nature.

Seems like we’re of a similar thought process then. I think it’s maybe more interesting to have to teleport a person and they lose powers for a little bit, but it’s up to you.

Sure. We'll go with teleporting the person negates their powers. Will make teleporting teammates interesting.

Sounds good to me.

I've added character's pronouns to the Influence Google Sheet (to the right of the influence table.

I was getting lost trying to remember them!

If I got any of them wrong, you should be able to just go in and edit/correct them.

Thanks! I had forgotten that Mirage went by "they/them".

Perfect. Good move. I added that to the first post in here.

May be worthwhile slowly briefly? Give time for @Chloe to assert where Michelle is in the scene (Says the person who's just posted twice in the last hour :P)

The game exploded quite fast really (which happens quite too often at GP tbh). Trying to keep up. But thanks for considering.

I kinda thought it was 3 posts/week like one every other day. But it seems we skipped from travelling to prepping for a fight or something.
