Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Agamon]

My biggest problem will be getting into that kind of thinking and not over doing it. I don't see him shouting from the roof tops that "all them women folk should get into the kitchen and make him a sammich," but more of a unconcious thing like not taking his dirty plates from the table if women are present because you know, that is their job.

Oh man. Let the hilarity begin. Sounds good, a charcter open to growth is good stuff (for his sake, he'd better be open to growth...)

I'll go with host then.

I used the 2pp from the Drawback and reshuffled her Knowledge tactics skill to give her:

Knowledge Civics +3(3)
Knowledge Tactics +3(3)
Languages (2) French and German, though I am not sold on German, would anyone care to suggest another language for a British girl to know?

The other PP went into a Rank of equipment, that I used to buy a sword collection (Clover is now a fencer, with a few minor titles). She actually meets all of her caps without her powers except for defense (5 instead of 6).

 

[Shalimar]

Yeah, I meant you, as an owner of Paragons, would know of them.

I am not quite following on this one? Clover would know about them because she would follow the news coverage on them (any news coverage), so thats what I was really asking about.

I think we're dealing with ambiguous pronoun usage. Agamon said you'd be familiar with the Paragons NPCs as an owner of the book, but you took Aggie's "you" to mean "you, Clover" and not "you, Shalimar".

 

[Agamon]

Hey guys, sorry for not posting yet, I'm being really wishy-washy on my character. I think I've finally made a conclusion on a different power set, a variant of the 'Mystic Ally and Kid' archetype in the Hero High book (page 30), if you don't have it Agamon I'd like you to take a look to see if its okay-it involves Summon but only with one ally available, and also the sample Ally has Insubstantial 4 and Interpose which could be problematic (although the sample 'Kid' doesn't have his defenses maxed out and I wouldn't change that-except with maybe equipment if the facility gives it to him). I plan on having the Ally being a manifestation of his powers more than a mystical thing-or leave it ambiguous and up to you He may believe in the mystical thing, though.

If the Mystical Ally is too much with Insubstantial/Magic I might switch her out with a sort of Invisible Friend type deal or somesuch if the Summoning Kid is still OK.

I have to admit, when I first went through the book, that's the archetype I stopped on and went, "Cool".

So, concept-wise, no problem. Some conditions, though:

I would cap the Summon power at the PL. That way, the Ally doesn't have more points than the PC would as a normal elite (well, 10 more, but considering it needs to be sustained, that's alright).

Also, the Ally would have to be built like a PC (no more than 40 points in powers).

Then there's the fact that we need to figure out why the PC doesn't summon the Ally and sit in his room and wait for it to return. Maybe flaw it so that the Ally needs to stay within Perception range. In fact, maybe let the Ally be summoned within Perception range and call it a wash...

This is one is a request, not condition. It'd be cool if I were to rp the Ally and let you control it during encounters. Two people playing off each other works better than one player being the voice for both, no?

And finally, a thought. You don't necessarily have to have the Ally be insubstantial. You can if you want, but you'd need to make its vulnerability all types of energy.

no, I knew that part, what I meant was that I was wondering what the news coverage of them would be as Clover would definitely have followed it.

This. Sorry about the confusion.

Ah, lots of news coverage. Lots and lots. Whether on E! for being cool or CNN for causing (or averting) trouble, elites are newsworthy. Elites teams, much more so.

Italian or Spanish? Greek if she's more classically inclined and you want to stick to living languages. German makes a lot of military school sense but so do Russian and Arabic. If you want something more invested in Britishness qua Britishness, there's always Welsh, Cornish, or Gaelic. If you want to touch on a language she might have picked up in response to recent immigration (not that she's an immigrant, but there are a fair number of immigrant speakers and why not pick it up as a multicultural exercise?) Polish or Chinese work.

Some ideas?

Can you tell I'm always the guy people ask to proof their writing?
