I've given the option to submit two characters; that way you can have different portraits when posting as a high school student, or as your masked avenger. Up to you if you want to do it.

Not that it's a problem, but is there a reason Shadowhex has the Bull's questions ("We defeated a dangerous enemy..") as well as the Nova question ("We destroyed our surroundings in the fight...")
May 1, 2024 3:48 am
We don't have a Bull in the game, and we needed someone to say who the villain was. There are other questions in other playbooks we are not using too, but this one looked particularly important to answer.

Now that we have all the characters should we do relationships?
I have 2 relationships for Ogre:
X comforted you when you were at your lowest
I imagine that Ogres had some low points since he transformed into a monster.
X knew you before you changed.
I'm thinking that Ogre is a New York local, so this would suit someone who has been around the area for a year or so

I have the following 2 relations.
1. You hang out all the time with __________________ to blow off steam.
2. You once hurt ________________ when you lost control of your powers.
Based on the themes of the characters I can see 1 could very well be Ogre. Jodelle also has a subtheme about being yourself while being different.

Now Vermite’s relationships are:
X knew you from civilian life first.
This can be anybody really.
You refused to to tell Y your secret identity when they asked.
Again, this is pretty open-ended.

I'm going to need a confidant amongst you. Someone with whom I've done something to shame the legacy of The Shadow! and someone I've told an important secret to.

Are we still waiting on Mr_Beastley? It would be a shame to sort out all the relationships and not include them.

Eriko's questions:
[Blank] is awesome, and you take every chance you get to hang out with them.
You've got to prove yourself to [blank] before you feel like a real hero.
I'm also going to suggest Eriko to be the local that knew Ogre before he changed. She wouldn't really bat an eye at the physical change itself, and would probably be a little envious that he has any powers to speak of. And that last part is something we can either say he knows about already, or save it for a potential conflict / reveal between the two later.

My guesses
1. You hang out all the time with Ogre to blow off steam.
We both are a bit different I guess. My subtheme for my character is generally a transformed's main theme. I guess we can relate.
@dunderklumpen
2. You once hurt Enola Paddock when you lost control of your powers.
I nearly blasted her to bits. So sorry Enola! I tried to run after her into the alleyway she crawled into. But Vermite just happened to be there having solved my mess. Now I feel guilty to both Vermite and Enola.

Because each (most) of you have secret identities starting out, the answers to your Relationship questions should refer either to the character's public, or Masked persona. This is especially relevant to Enola/Vermite , which is playing the Janus. She marks potential whenever she reveals her secret identity to someone who doesn't know it already (the Mask move).

I don't want to hold back the 'When Our Team First Came Together' thread. We can skip Fogblade's prompt and get back to it later. Blacklight, you're up next, followed by Slugger.

So when Elona ran off, I ran after her. But I didn't find Elona but Vermite.
I think Vermite cleaned up the mess I caused with Elona, having helped her - now I feel guilty to Vermite too for cleaning up my mess.

Well here's a bit of background on my legacy...
The Shadow
It is a known unknown hero who has been active since the golden age of heroics. They are infamous for having always worked alone and intentionally cultivated a mysterious reputation. Despite the passage of years it is only recently that rumors that it is not a single man but rather a family of hero's who have maintained this identity over the years. Evidence slowly piling up, evidence that Blacklight's appearance seems to confirm, that or she is the first of The Shadow's children.
One of the most well known feats of The Shadow is the defeat of the villain Death Ray. He delivered the villain in chains to the steps of city hall, but only after they had unveiled a death machine using a captured Silver Savior as a power source and had humbled and defeated the rest of Vanguard. Death Ray had delivered an ultimatum to the city which was about to run out of time. But just before the Mayor went out to surrender is when THE SHADOW made his move.
Rumor has it that The Shadow has always been, will always be. Until very recently it was also that there is only one Shadow who never changed. THE SHADOW's reputation is one of being the lone avenger. The lone hero who arrives after all other hope is lost or failed. The one who will appear to avenge as often as save. The Shadow is rarely the first to arrive to fight but time and again the one to get justice in the end. They are known best for balancing the scales after the fact. Generally only acting after a villain has gotten away with something. For the most part they are rarely seen outside the shadows they create, and talk and interact little with the public.
With that written, I'm thinking that actually being known or seen to join a hero team would probably be something to bring shame, so who wants to have been the person to invite Blacklight to join the team? That person might also get to be my super secret confidant.

Anyway that's the main bit might need to edit the first paragraph a little, to fit with just where along the timeline we're starting as far as the reveal of Blacklight not being The Shadow proper is concerned.
As an aside, how much do we know about each others powers? How long will we have been a team before more action starts? I found not knowing anything about anyone's powers was a little tricky as far as the prologue goes so I couldn't really call anyone else out as doing something awesome to save people. :P
