Character Creation & Initial Relationships

Heehee. Molepeoples...
Mix and match as is appropriate. I've listed them all down in case people have a great idea for something that came up, but generally the player who's got that question as the playbook gets final say over it.

Sure, that works. As for why she’d keep a crush under wraps- what if she did tell the person, and they laughed and thought it was a huge joke and/or were otherwise super dismissive?

I volunteer for these two relationships if you'll agree.
Julio, my Nova, has had a big crush on Cammy from school for a long time. Wait, is the Janus the only one with a normal life? Is everyone else a full-time hero?

Janus is the only one that keeps her identity secret.

Jabes, we could have been in the same group of friends - and perhaps gotten our powers at the same time? That could flow nicely into your relationship:

For the intro fight with the Molepeople, what if they did a lot of damage to the Arts District, but we ended up doing even more. During the final push we ended up destroying a newly built Performing Arts Center that was supposed to be the crowning achievement of a powerful alderman gunning for Mayor?

Very nice! I second the massive destruction of Art!

Also, I believe Whimsy will have a crush on Rosethorn.

Sorry if I am late to the party. I am playing around with the idea of being the team dick/type A tsundere. I am also bringing in a Bull from an old game.

Man, this team is all about collateral damage! Hahaha!

Helps make the teenage angst easier =)
And along those same lines, what if we saved the Alderman's daughter from the Art's Center as we were (accidentally) destroying it? That could lead to some tasty conflicts...

Well having read over jkl's Bull I see collateral damage is definitely going to be a theme.

I like the Alderman's daughter idea. I was also thinking that person might be someone from Cammy's normal life. If he's got a teenage daughter in a good school, that could work.

So my question is why do we trust each other now. With all the chaos and collateral damage, I'm thinking we each had a chance to protect at least one another member of the team during the battle. So we came out of it feeling like we really have each other's backs.

I’m good with everything above.

Are we in the same school? If it’s a fancy school, then Talia got in by either voucher or lottery. She’d be kind of a geeky nerd if you saw her out of costume.

I think a lot came from after the battle. During the onslaught of negative publicity we stuck together and didn't throw anyone under the bus. Maybe for some additional depth, one (some) of us were more responsible for the destruction than others making that bond even stronger.

Haven't completed Julio's sheet but my idea has always been that he and his family (Filipino immigrants to begin with) had to move around because Julio kept getting bullied and then he'd (unintentionally) melt the school.

The. Whole. School.

It's fortunate there were never any lawsuits! He's just glad to have friends. Plus the crush on Cammy.

Well, if Julio melted down the local public school (or even a chunk of it) it might explain why everyone's crammed into the fancy private one now. Or vice versa if we want to explain why all the trust fund kids are in the public schools.

I really like the sticking together during the post-battle interview. Consider that canon.

Updated my character sheet with the following. Let me know if anyone's opposed to any of it. :-)

Even the annex buildings? Wow.

So yes. Due to REASONS those of you who go to school can all be in the same school; either because the one you were meant to be in was melted, or accidentally destroyed as part of a superhero incident, or because A.E.G.I.S. (this setting's version of SHIELD, the supers police and shady black ops group) decided that after that whole Arts District incident you'd be better in one place, under closer supervision. Or all three.

For those of you who don't go to school, there's a very good adult and supers learning annex that anyone from out of town (or out of this world, dimension, realm... Whimsy) are encouraged to attend. After all, you all decided to stick together, so they may as well keep you together.

A.E.G.I.S. probably knows all about you given the high collateral damage. Well, except about Cammy's identity. It's obviously just a gigantic coincidence that her studies have been disrupted and she and most of her class has been placed in this school while they repair the extensive damage to the previous one. Right? Just one more thing to worry about I'm sure.

Additional Question about what will now eternally be called The Arts District Incident since we now have a Bull!
We defeated a dangerous enemy. Who or what was it?

I'd like to offer up that Whimsy was there for me after the change, when I had even less of a clue about how to handle being a monster

In addition to the Molepeople, right?
