Generation Legacy: Part Three

I think it was a less matter of Connor stealing screentime away from other characters and more with him being a disadvantage to the other characters.

I can see the point, but I felt the same way about all Angel's supporting cast aside Wesley and Cordy.

2) Vincent Kartheiser is an extremely hot man.

If you say so, I guess. I felt that one of the strengths of Angel was its generally likeable and competent supporting cast. Connor, on the other hand, was about as useful as an anchor on a swim team. But hey, I was never a big fan of Evangelion, primarily due to Shinji and his ilk.

I mean, if you gave me some kind of opportunity to drive a gigantic walking death machine, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. And then probably use the robot to engage in some super-villainous act, but we all have our little weaknesses. Of course, I'm also not some angst-driven teenager with a father-fueled abandonment complex.

I think your search results say a lot about the state of the internet. The picture looks good though. If anyone besides me has seen Brick, Emmet isn't much like the hardboiled main character; I just thought about what Emmet should look like, and the protagonist from that movie popped into my mind. That and Harry Potter, and THAT was not a comparison I wanted. Especially since HP is really just a jock who gets by on the assistance of his special heritage and more talented friends.

That's the truth. He's a less popular version of the captain of the football team, right down to having a pet nerd to his homework.

Or that Tom Jones character of the days of yore.

Question for Shal: The secondary effect on the lightning bolt, how are you explaining that? Does the electricity stick around or does lighting strike twice? Since the effect takes no effort from Clover, I assume the latter, since lightning tends to not work like the former naturally (unless there's some other option that isn't apparent to me?)

(I may have questions for others as I comb through the characters).

Its not so much that the lightning is sticking around with the person visibly wreathed in sparks or a prolonged lightning bolt as it is just taking a while for the electricity and the imbalance to leave the person's system. While the energy is still in the person's body it continues to zap them, meaning that after they get hit by Clover's lightning, the energy of it stays in the body for a short time nuking them from the inside as they visibly twitch.

Not that I have a problem with this, I'm just trying to rationalize it in my wee brain. Would this mean Clover has an undeveloped electricity control power? Because having Weather Control doesn't necessarily mean being able to make lightning behave unnaturally.

Trilly is mostly done. ;D

She's just a good ole girl made good in the big wide world. Lots of curiosity and exploring is the way I see her. I think I'll be putting history and such on her as time goes on.

I had actually figured it was a some what natural effect of the electricity, but I was planning on expanding a tiny bit into electricity powers as a naturul off shoot most likely in the form of electricity immunity or absorbtion limited to electricity.

Go with what makes the most sense to you, but I hadn't really thought of it as terribly unnatural, well no more so than a world with super powers in general.

Sorry, don't mean to niggle, it's just, if it was a TT 4-color game, I'd be all, whatever. But I feel there may need to explain it in the game. Electricity, by nature, doesn't like to stay in one place unless it's somehow trapped or controlled (sorta the reason for lightning in the first place). If an elite could control electricity, they could make it dance around in the shape of a little puppy, s'all good. Weather control lets an elite generate, otherwise natural, electrical storms. It's like saying she could suffocate someone by forcing rain up their nose...rain doesn't normally do that, you'd need water control.

All that said, the underdeveloped electricity control works for me. Honestly, it makes it a bit more interesting than anything else.
