The system is pretty interesting, but I would not want to play a doomed again. They are a level of angst I was not really prepared for =d

Tycho stumbles to his feet, trying to shake his head and clear his thoughts.

Fool. This is what you get for trying to suppress who you are. Who you are meant to be. ME.

Use your power and control this situation, or your friends will die. Don't you care about them?

For once, the voice made sense. Tycho focused for a moment, then stepped through a portal, reappearing next to Hashtag. He drug him momentarily through a realm of floating, disjoined rooms, and then a door opened and both of them were stepping into the diner.

[/i]"Release him. I am your master and you will obey my commands."[/i]

Marking doom to Activate Portal, which will allow me to arrive at a scene with whoever I want. Also, that will push me over, so I have cleared my Doom track and I am taking Infinite Power, which lets me use a power from any playbook once.

So after I retrieve Hashtag from wherever he appeared, I will do a unleash your powers to attempt to rewrite the sentinel's memory and take control of it.

Unleash your Powers (+Freak): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

How is the effect temporary or unstable?

Take a Powerful Blow: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Taking give ground/opposition gains an opportunity.

As the beam of heat slams into him, Tycho manages to roll at the last minute so that he isn't incinerated, but merely singed. Unlike typical fire, this blast has a kinetic oomph to it that flings him out of the diner and down the street a ways.

Shaken by the speed of the sentinel before him, Tycho picks up one of the booth tables and attempts to leaping, baseball bat-style hit the flying one out of the diner.

I wasn't sure whether directly engage a threat or unleash your powers was correct. That would make my attack a miss, meaning that I can finally mark potential.

fighting the gang members had taught Tycho something about using his speed and strength in a fight. When the concussive waves slam into each other, Tycho is already moving. Using the momentum from Atoms' wave, he slams into the caster with all the power he can muster put behind his fist, hoping to put him down with a good first hit.

Unleash your Powers(+Freak): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8

Tell me how the effect is unstable or temporary, oh wise and mighty GM.

From Atoms, I am raising Savior by +1 and lowering Danger by -1.

Just want to give an update to my games, as I don't have time for a super long post today:

First, I am sorry about the radio silence, but what was supposed to be resolved on Monday with my internet has stretched into Wednesday. I will update everything then.

Apologies for my lack of communication, and know that this is not normal for me.

To all of my games:

I am currently operating with limited internet access. I will do my best to update when I can, but I don't think I will have internet until at least monday.

If I am a player in your game, please bot me. If I am a GM, know that I haven't dropped the game and I am committed to keeping it going. Thank you.

Tycho just walked for a while, not sure what to do, or what this whole experience had taught him about how to control his abilities. Finally, he noticed the card in his pocket.

That's wierd. I didn't feel that before.

Reading the card, Tycho will make his way to the meeting.

I have to admit that I'm still trying to engage with the mechanics. You've done a frankly wonderful job covering the intricacies of the system, but it's not gelling for me yet. I am still enjoying the game, and I'm looking forward to continuing.

Tycho will join the assault on the police headquarters, then once the gang is assembled and facing the police will attempt to use his superspeed to disarm the lot of them. He ties a bandana around his face and puts on a baseball cap Watchdogs style.

Tycho will take a quick glance around to see if anyone is paying any attention to him.

Assess the Situation: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 1 = 11

That gives me two questions. I will take:
What here can I use to free Ghost Dragon without being seen, and What here is the greatest danger (to me being noticed having powers)

Tycho found himself pinned by the concrete around one of his legs. He waits for a moment when no one is paying particular attention to him then uses his superstrength to break the concrete.

unleash your powers (+freak): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 = 14

Trying to keep a low profile, he will draw his knife once he has loosened the concrete with his superstrength and then go to town on it, hacking and screaming while he does.

Okay, time to stop messing around. My goal will be to knock him out, not kill him.

Tycho will stop flailing and attempt to actually hit his target.

Tycho likewise did not reveal his powers. He will, however, also go running with the gang. When he arrives at the fight, he will go charging right in and attack the strongest looking member of the hellcats, whooping and hollering.

Of course, he's actually not trying to hit him (or her), but he will swing like someone very excited but not too good at what they're doing.

I'm fine with giving you influence over me.

"It's a bit much to take in, but in the future, I will rule the world. Absolutely. Everyone here will bend knee to me, and I will use my power to push my will onto the entire planet. It's what the cult that raised me pushed me to be, because my future self has some means of projecting my power into now. I don't want to be that person, but I don't think I'm strong enough to stop it from happening."

"What do you think?"

Doing my team move: When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, give them Influence over you and ask
if they honestly think there’s hope for you. If they say yes, mark potential or clear one box of your
doom track. If they say no, mark a condition or mark your doom track.

Seeing everyone together and not yelling at each other, Tycho's mood improves considerably. When the idea of training together comes up, Tycho says "That would be okay."

I didn't mean to be the emo one, but d@mned if you all didn't force it one me =P
