Conscience: 3 would work. Even 4 or 5. If this is intended to mean how they feel about things they've done as a hero. I don't think Jack has had any big failures, yet. At least as far as how he feels about it. Expression: 3. He is a bit moody, but that is no problem in the punk scene. Success: 0 Security: I can see him having a Security of 4. A lot of crappy things have happened to him.
For Detective Points: Methods: 3 Publicity: 3 Approachability: 2 Contacts: I'm thinking 5. Reason being not that he knows a lot of people, but that the spirits in the chains somehow hear things. Final: 13
I would agree with Backing 2. He definitely doesn't get on with police. He'd be as likely to fight them as anything. Heroism 3 seems appropriately average. I think of him as a darker version of early spider-man. The conservative press would think he is a dangerous vigilante. But people on the street would think of him as a sort of dark robin hood figure. He isn't going to catch bank robbers, but he would stop violent muggers. He might defend a working girl who was being attacked by a wealthy client. 2 Seems right for Identification. As for PR, maybe the system isn't granular enough to do what I'm thinking. I think he is a 4 when it comes to hungry kids, picket lines, little old ladies. He is on the side of the common man, and very much opposed to the system and authority. So he might have bad press. Practice 1. Total=11 or 12.
I am still here.
Ya know what sucks about the Golden Heroes pdf? It's one of those ones you can't copy/past from... I will attempt an OCR and see if I can get a version you can copy and paste text from.
I would say Jack is Level 2. He can work cash jobs doing heavy labor or being a bouncer at a bar or club, but he is very unstable financially.
BD, you will have to inform based on the setting, real history, altered history. I'm thinking Jack-in-Irons is young, like Peter Parker young. 16 or 17. His father was a striking miner, maybe a labor leader. The old man was killed by police in a "riot" or maybe just disappeared by the police. His mom had cancer and died due to Thatcher cutbacks in public health. I don't know if any of this is quite right for the history and government. You obviously know why this is supposed to resonate. Jack Redding was evading police after something went wrong at a protest. He ran into a dead end alley, run-climbing up the wall to a fire escape. But he loses his grip on the old iron, falling back to the street. The cobbles give way, and he tumbles into darkness, into an ancient dungeon of Newgate prison. Wrapped in darkness, bones broken, Jack hears the voices of all of those lost spirits unjustly imprisoned and even executed in the 600 years of the prison's existence. Chains and shackles wrapped around him. The spirits knitted him back together, matching their rage with his.
Alias created. I swapped Stunner for the martial arts upgrade. That may give me an extra power roll? I've lost track. Will take another look later. |
