I thought of a backup today. If the Nova spot is free'd up. Long short of it is, a wizard from a different dimension as well as the large dragon he was fighting got transported to our world, different locations and all but yeah. The character i'm thinking Vivian Williams, was young(13) at a LARP camp when this mysterious wizard man just appears out of nowhere. One the wizard recovers he realizes the dragon is not there and begins looking for it. But he is ignorant of their world, senses great potential in vivian, and decides she shall be his guide. They find the dragon terrorizing people(it landed on a bridge think golden gate) supers were after it. They beat it and as he started to fade back into his world(some kind of magical mojo took em back) he gifted vivian with a shard of the Bridge of Aeons which in turn gave her great magical powers, a spell book(one of his extras), a beginner's stace, and a few pointers. Now she's in college a well-studied mage, and often uses her magic to take notes while she reads a book.

So we sticking with Pandemonium as the Mega villain? If so we should talk powers and motives.
I'm thinking strength, fire, and maybe summoning of otherworldly beings? Motives are a bit harder but i could totally see this person trying to open a rift and summon a 'higher being' into our reality, like Cthulhu or the devil or what other uber entity you may think of.
Cerebus the three headed harbinger of Hades or the Chimera or the Kraken!!!
I'd vote for summoning up Cerberus, mainly 'cause it would at to a potential Huntsman of Hell kinda vibe.
And I'm caught up with Dresden (and I think the short stories too). His fae are not a small influence on Hayden, even if I didn't take much from his conception of changelings themselves.
I like the idea of Phoibe having recently been Phoebe Mitropoulos (or what have you), gives a good reason for her to be classed as a 'young hero' too :-)
So sorry, everybody. Between being busier with work than I thought and just not having a concept come together the way I like, I've gotten very little done with my character. At this point I'm feeling I should bow out, seeing as everyone else is more or less finished I believe, and I don't want to keep you guys hanging and waiting. Feel free to use Phantasm as an NPC and do what you like with Pandemonium--I still think you've collectively got a good thing going with the backstory and concepts!

Oh also Pholbe, remember to answer your When Our Team Came Together question. And relationships, as well as suggesting i would suggest the same for the influence, but legacy starts with all team members having influence on them.
All things considered, we did well and impressed an established hero. Who was it?
Let's see... we don't have a Mentor floating around... I like things that are a bit double edged - Phoibe, do you envision having any heroes that are kind of an opposite to any members of your Legacy that might be up and about?
Kind of a 'Batman to your Superman' type? Could be fun to have made inroads with a rival of the Dodekatheon :-)
Hey everyone sorry for the delay, I had a bunch of unexpected travel come up, I will work on getting the 'opening scene' up by Monday.
Oh! Neat!

Right on, I was about to put out a post asking if folks were still interested lol. Quick recap, there may be stuff I missed when writing this, but that's a bit of the point, so we can buckle down on everything.
School- Colossus School for Young Heroes or Colossus College; Kind of implies anyone can be a hero it could just be Colossus or Colossus Halcyon.
WOTFCT-TLDR edition; We came together to save a valued hero and stop an unjust villain in ending their life, it cost us a monument and almost killed the hero before we were able to intervene.
Newborn - They found you, and you saw the outside world for the first time and helped in the fight. Where and how did they find you? Which one of them gave you your first nickname?;
(don't know if we got a straight answer to the first question. I think we agree'd on Gallant giving her the accro-name)
Soldier – Our victory secured an important resource for AEGIS. What was it?;
The Newborn ANGEL is important to AEGIS because it is a tactical asset and possible resource, we need to find who created this new life.
Nova - We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy?;
A hero and a great monument got severely damaged and injured, but not by us.(We need a hero name still I'm thinking Bastion one of the members of the most famous group 'The Justicars')
Legacy- All things considered, we did well and impressed an established hero. Who was it?;
(I would say probably the hero and team that the hero is part of.)
Transformed - We drew attention and ire from plenty during the fight. One important person in particular now hates and fears us. Who is it?;
City Councilman Nathan Xavier, want stricter rules on capes.
Janus- We saved the life of someone important, either to the city, or to us. Who was it? Why are they important?;
We stopped Pandemonium from killing (Hero-name) they were a high powered super hero and responsible for saving the city many times over.
Reformed- We fought a terrible enemy from my old life. Who was it and what did they take from me?;
I think this can play decently into what we already have established for this moment: a fallen hero, a destroyed monument--it would have to be caused by some great and terrible villain, and that's what I provide. I think that moment might even have been the turning point where Jasper switched sides, aiding the other young heroes against his old mentor.
Hayden are you Doomed or Deli?- We totally broke some major rules to win the fight. What rules did we break? Whose rules were they?;
(Idk if we got this one, think you said the Goblin king or whoever your patron is)
Newborn-_____is an exemplary human; they show you around and tell you how things work.
The behavior of ________confuses you again and again;you’re determined to understand humanity better by studying them.
(Don't think anything was said exactly?)
Soldier- ANGEL is crucial to the long-term success of A.E.G.I.S. I must protect them.
Arcanum isn’t always thrilled with the way A.E.G.I.S. handles things. I’ve come to value their critiques, even if I don’t agree with them.
Nova-You hang out all the time with (Hayden i believe was the answer) to blow off steam.
You once hurt (Slate?) when you lost control of your powers.
Legacy-You once got caught doing something that shames your legacy with ______.
You trust ____ and told them an important secret of your legacy.(Don't think anything was said exactly?)
Transformed-_________comforted you when you were at your lowest.
_________knew you before you changed(Don't think anything was said exactly?)
Janus-_________knew you from your civilian life first.
You refused to tell ______ your secret identity when they asked.(Don't think anything was said exactly?)
Reformed-I’ve earned the trust of ______, and I follow their example of what a hero should be.
I did something terrible to _______ once. I hope they can forgive me one day.(Don't think anything was said exactly?)
Delinquent/Doom-(Arcanum/ANGEL)?
Newborn- Everyone has influence over you.
Soldier- Jasper(For defying the villain in this way. If they're still playing), Arcanum(Refined control of your overwhelming power), Slate(Overcoming your appearance and how people see you and proving you aren't a monster in a pinch). Everyone else needs to show restraint and prove that they can save those around them.
Nova- ANGEL, Slate, Open
Legacy- Everyone has influence over you.
Transformed-You try not to care what other people think, even if you can’t shut everyone out. Give Influence to one teammate
Janus-You look up to your teammates; they seem to have this superhero thing figured out. Give two of them Influence over you.
Reformed-Do you talk openly about your days as a villain? If so, give each team member Influence over you.
If not, just give Influence to the one teammate whose example you most closely follow.
Delinquent/Doomed?- Arcanum, Watchdog?
Glad to see this moving forward. I could use some help with those background questions a bit
Wound up Doomed. The WOTFCT Price that was Paid was the forced retirement/crippling//de-powering of Bastion.
Relationships:
I'd love to kiss Watchdog before your doom comes.
I told Phantasm all about your doom and the danger you're in. Need to pick someone new... I think it still really can't be Gallant since she sees him as too much of a cop... Angel doesn't really have the context... I think I'll bump this over to Phoibe.
And I'll be giving two people influence because they matter for what she needs to do: Arcanum and ANGEL. Powerhouse and possibly proxy...
Gameplay open
I guess this isn’t going to a thing.
Too bad, kinda hoped it would.
Reminded me of a forum I use to post to back in the day.
Yeah... I like the characters, but I lack the spoons to pick up running this game:-/
Well darn it thanks for playing all!
