Freedom City Campaign [M&M2] - OOC Discussion

Umm, my reasoning had them knowing each other, his precog was just the way they met up the first time. I was figuring that it was Entrapper that Called Century Girl in on the Lab Break in once he saw that the villians might be too tough.

I figured that Entrapper would be sort of a mentor to her.

OK. Must have misread the last post. Sorry for the confusion.
He probably doesn't think of himself that way, but if she does that just adds to the interaction.

In that case she probably knows that he's the Seer, and that he's "stuck" in the bodysuit.

Maybe their precog'd meeting was something like:
1) Seer had a vision of CG being "in trouble" (i.e. being defeated by some villian)
2) He rushed to the scene and his vision was right, it looked like a dangerous villian (Superior? Devil Ray? Granite?) had knocked her out.
(Actually CG was faking it; drawing out the villian to gloat while the police cleared out bystanders)
3) Seer's appearance distracted the villian and gave CG a good chance to pop-up and pummel the bad guy.

Shortly after that the Seer retired but he gave her a piece of Centuron memorabilia from the golden age (don't know what....) and they've been in touch. He may have helped her get her get in touch with people who could help her make her alter ego (or been involved directly in some fashion).

A few weeks ago he got back in touch, told her about the bodysuit, etc.

Then he called her about the explosion at Bastion's lab.
(which, of course, never actually happened, but he doesn't know whether that is because it's unreliable or because they stopped it).

Thoughts?
 

Thaat all sounds fine Graf. I got the mentor art from the fact that he had offered her the advice on Captain Thunder and why he wouldn't let her join the Freedom League right away.

As to her fighting Superior, he is a bit outside of her weightclass at the moment.

At +12 hit +18 dmg and a +18 toughness with regeneration, he is out of all of our weightclasses all at once! Yipe! :eek:
 

OK. I think that if I'm going to play someone with Knowledge (Heroes and Villians) I'm going to need to get the Freedom City book.

(I figured that out all by myself -- I must be some sort of genius....)

The PDF is cheap enough.
 

It is indeed. It's nice to see a game company that has a reasonable pdf vs physical book pricing scheme.
I'll be working my way through it soon.

Maybe it's just because Civil War (i.e. Marvel) has been on my mind recently but I was thinking lower power levels. Freedom City seems much more DC to me.

I think it does riff off of DC more then Marvel, but there is a healthy dose of Marvel Homages.

The Claremont Academy stuff and Golden Age stuff is more Marvel-esque to me.

Also the World *beyond* Freedom City strikes Marvel with me. Dakana/Wakanda, Kaiju Island/Monster Island, Sub-Terra/Moleman Realm, Lemuria/Lemuria, Ultimen/Eternals, Utopia Isle/Attilan, Shambala/K'un Lun, Grues/Skrulls.

Then there are combos. Star Knights = Green Lantern Corp and Rom and the Space Knights

I'd be particularly surprised if Claremont Academy wasn't specifically named for Chris Claremont of X-men writing fame. He was the writer who is largely credited for bringing teenage angst to the fore-front of X-men plots-the perfect namesake for an Xavier Institute riff.

It definitely was. The whole Freedom City setting is seeded with such name homages.

Eldrich (the Sorceror Supreme) lives on Ditko street. Homage to Dr Strange artist Steve Ditko.

The Headmaster at Claremont is Duncan Summers

Lots of the names seem strangely familiar BUT different.
