So Aria's one outstanding relationship is this one:

"You’ve been learning about Earth by spending time with _____________."

Any takers?
Leo could have fun with that. "Most earth laeders are actually lizard people in disguise. Not sure when that started, but it's been that way as long as I can remember."
Cool, let's go with that. So for Solstice, there is this new relationship:

You’ve been learning about Earth by spending time with Leo.

Gotcha! Looks like we need one relationship from Leo and a blurb from Amymist which I’m sure they’ll do when they next hop on.

If you all want to start and update some character sheets and background, so I can look those over, we should be able to start with the "When the Team First Came together" soon

I've updated Nightfly/Jerry's character sheet with the relationship info etc. and I've submitted it. I'll wait to hear you say "go", @aegis, before discussing the "When the Team First Came together" stuff.

I'll submit sheet now and add relationship stuff after work as on bus /phone rn and sheets can be a pain.

Edit: Submitted then just saw that for some reason the plabokk moves are not on. I'm sure I added them...
Will also do that when home.

Actually, I think we’re a go for "When the Team Came together stuff". Looks like we’ve almost wrapped up the Relations with just one question left. People can update and submit CS’s while they wait thier turn to answer the playbook question.

Let’s do them in the order that I have in the first post and I’ll update that as we go to keep it all together.

The Bull (@LightOfMidnight ) is up first.

I want to direct Leo's antics towards someone he's not connected with yet. Options are Nightfly and Alloy Angel. They seem equally good, so I'll go random.

And... Nightfly

Rolls

Odd = Nightfly, Even = Alloy Angel - (D6)

(5) = 5

Hey everyone -- Solstice has a feature: "Cheerful Demeanor (You’re thrilled to be here. Give everyone Influence over you.)"

So you can mark influence on Solstice/Aria on your character sheet.

Speaking of which -- my character sheet is submitted! And here's her portrait. When Solstice uses her heliokinesis, it radiates yellow energy, giving her all three primary colors (blue skin, red hair, yellow energy beam).

Right, speaking of Influence, my playbook says:

You try not to care what other people think, even if you can’t shut everyone out. Give Influence to
one teammate.

I'm thinking that might be either Aria, as I think she's the one Alice feels closest to, or Michelle as the one who knew her from before and can call her out on bad behavior and excuses (and has done so before).

I'm on board with Aria having the influence; I'm flexible though if you decide to go with Michelle.

Leo cares way more than he lets on. Three teammates get influence over him. Based on the relationship web, I choose:
Lex / Wild Claw
Michelle / Second Phase
Avery / Mirage

For influence: . You're selective about who you let in. Give your love and rival Influence over you, but that's it. So that's Michelle and Jerry

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

Looking forward to Leo's attempt to impress Nightfly with their antics, @timplausible :)

Is there a way to look at the Character Sheets of other players (to help remind me what everyone's got going on with their characters)? Or are they only visible to GM/the-player-who-created-them?

Good point, BeardHare. If you go to your characters tab and find your sheet, the book symbol will be greyed out. If you click it, it turns red and then everyone in the game can see the sheet. I made Alloy visible now. Might make sense for everyone to do that

Thanks @bowlofspinach - I think Nightfly is visible now i.e. I think I clicked on the correct icon (to add it to my 'library'). If you could check, would be great. Thanks for the help, will check out Alloy Angel now :)
Oct 12, 2023 4:41 pm
Yes, I can see Nightfly's sheet now!
Oct 12, 2023 4:41 pm
@bowlofspinach where would I be able to click on and view Alloy Angel's sheet? I found the list of players and characters but could only click on a link to your user page, not the character - and couldn't see anywhere on your user page to click?

Clicking the link in the characters tab at the bottom of the page should work.

Or click her name by this post. That should also bring you there.

Thank you! Got there now from the tab at the bottom of the Game page as you suggested :)

Can folks see Solstice's character sheet now? I believe the book icon is now red.

Looks like your character hasn't been accepted into the game yet, so I can't see it in the characters tab. If you link it, we should be able to see it, though.
