I'm shocked I never made this connection till now, but Lady Frost is rather similar to one Emma Frost. Up to and including increased durability ala Emma's diamond form. Maggie also is in a Position of Power, much like Emma.

Which, brings me to the actual point of my post:

POSITION OF POWER
Your character's non-super identity is in
a position of power; possibly a high-up
official, or the ruler of a small overseas
kingdom, etc. The character starts with an
initial Financial Resource Level of 6 and has
aides who can carry out minor missions.

Since it's both an IRL organization and one from the comics, could my PoP be within the Hellfire Club? Or a variation thereof(maybe the Frostfyre Club?)

I was thinking her shipping company could be akin to the version Emma heads up in the Krakoan Age, the Hellfire Trading Company. Except, not as focused on drugs, lol

Would this be okay, or is it too on the nose, so to speak? lol


Lady Frost

Public

Backing: 4

Heroism: 3

Even though she has backing 4, she's still maintains her criminal contacts/network. She also isn't above bending the rules, though she does her best to not break them. Unless she *absolutely* has to.

Identification: I'm good with your suggested 3.

Public Relations: 4, maybe 5?

She doesn't 'bend over backwards' per se, but I was thinking she does a lot of charitable work for poor/lower class. Maybe even runs a shelter/soup kitchen or something similar?

I guess you assign us the Practice score, so that stays a 1.

Public Status: That gives her a 15, which isn't great, lol. Unsure about her Heroism being higher though.

Detective

Methods: 4

She isn't a detective or cop, but she uses her criminal ties pretty extensively along with her general connections and status from her company.

Publicity: 3. I guess this is sorta like practice, where we a get assigned a rating?

Approachability: ??

Unsure about this one. It says it should be the same as Identification, but I could see her having a 4 or even a 5.

Not only does she have her contacts and such, but she's a fairly notable person, rather attractive, and doesn't go out of her way to be aloof or standoffish.

That said, idk if she would be open about being a hero in her civilian identity, like Stark/Iron Man. Don't know if that would be taken into account here or not.

Power Use: There's no description for this, so I'm gonna assume 1 for Frost, since none of her powers themselves help with detective work.

Contacts: 10, cuz ya know, she has that ability, lol

Final Detective Points: 21, assuming approachability is equal to Identification.

Personal Status:

Conscience: ?? She isn't ashamed of her criminal connections/familial ties. She doesn't got out of her way to hide them, but she also doesn't broadcast them to the world. Idk what to rating to give her here.

Expression: 4, she's a very public person, despite being wealthy. She's not a 'hide in an ivory tower' sort. I haven't fully decided on the size and status of her family, but there's no bad blood there, and she definitely has a good amount of friends.

Success: 0

Public Response(assuming my Public Status stays as 15): 2

Security: 7-8. Aside from her super powers(which ya know, include some serious toughness), she's wealthy, comes from a respected/feared family, has ties to a gang, etc. She's quite secure in her well-being, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Current Personal Status Level(pending any adjustments): 13, which I absolutely disagree with, so something's gotta change somewhere.

She should be at the very least be in the secure range, but probably the confident level.


Should we give our thoughts on the various above scores? Both your suggested ratings and our own?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Still here! Glad you're back!


Ya know what sucks about the Golden Heroes pdf? It's one of those ones you can't copy/past from...

Anyways, Position of Power states:

Your character's non super identity is in a position of power; possibly a high up official, or the ruler of a small overseas kingdom, etc. The character starts with a Financial Resource Level of 6, and has aides who carry out minor missions.

*****************

Is being the owner of a shipping company fitting? It seems like that might actually be 'too small' in scope as that doesn't exactly equate to being the 'ruler of a small overseas kingdom' ?


Lady Frost's Position of Power gives her a financial of 6, I believe. I don't think that can be raised any higher to start the game with, right?

I suppose if it made sense, she could employ any of my fellow Heroes who are around level 1-3(maybe 4?)?


If I'm gonna play a reformed villain who is ice themed, there's not a a more perfect avatar than Queen Elvanna.

BD, would you prefer my alias be my civilian or super hero persona?

Also, is there any sort of preferred format for our sheets?
