We had some really good results, and more importantly a lot of fun, so I'm feeling better and better about Game Day itself. Since I'm now confident that the character's are not going to be drastically changed, here are the bios of our mighty (short) heroes. Feel free to claim one in advance. Please note that Brady Poindexter (the Nerd) is reserved for Clueless, who requested a gadgeteer (maybe not exactly what was in mind, but he's pretty spiff regardless), and Jared Dorf (the Outcast) is already claimed by my out of town guest who is going through great pains to attend.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Yamka (Lily) O'Riely [The Bully]: Yamka (Lily) O'Riely is a solidly built Native American girl who was abandoned by her birth parents for mysterious reasons. She was taken in by two loving parents of Irish descent and has stuck out like a sore thumb ever since.  Lily is the tallest girl in the fourth grade and has broader shoulders than most men. She is not the traditional bully in the sense that she does not beat everyone to a pulp, but she is accustomed to being in charge and she's not afraid to use her fists to stay in charge. Super powers include the ability to Smite Weaklings, taunt opponents, and super human strength. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Jillian Snow [Dreamer]: Jillian Snow is a normally a sweet, absent minded little girl, but she has a temper that will literally blow you away. She was taken out of public school when she was seven to be home schooled by her mother, who didn't believe that public school was liberal enough. Most of her school time is spent staring idly out the window and letting her imagination run wild. Something about the complete control that she has over every detail of her imaginary worlds makes it difficult to cope with events when they don't go her way. Therefore, she tends to throw tantrums over things that may seem trivial to others, like not being first in line, or not getting the red pony. Jillian always feels guilty about these episodes and apologizes profusely for the outburst. Super powers include the ability to heal wounds and to telekenetically hurl objects and enemies. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Artie (Art) Miller [The Jock]: Artie (Art)  Miller is probably best described as "out of place." He spent most of his life in Britain, but his father is on assignment with a giant software company in the City, and Art and his siblings are along for the ride. Unfortunately, Art's displacement is not solely geographic. His ears are too big, his nose too wide, his grin too crooked and his arms too long, plus he's not exactly the brightest kid on the block, but he's extremely good at what he does. Art is a master of all sports, especially cricket, which he considers to be the greatest game ever conceived. Once started on the subject, he usually begins with a wistful discussion of its beauties and ends (some time later) with a broken rendition of God Save the Queen. Super powers include a ten foot reach, a devastating cricket bat attack, and the feared mighty slam, which rockets cricket balls at enemies. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> RESERVED (Clueless) Brady Poindexter [The Nerd]: Brady Poindexter is an average kid, as far as child geniuses go. He started consuming information about engineering and mechanics at the age of three, and since then he has spent countless hours in his invention workshop cobbling together all sorts of crazy creations. His personality tends towards aloofness since he's both smarter  and richer than everyone at his private school. Brady's mother is the CEO of a major media company in the City, making Brady the heir to quite a fortune. There's something about his greased back hair and up-turned nose that makes him a target for bullies, but his impeccable logic and fascinating gadgets tend to defuse most situations before anything becomes too  dangerous. Super powers include the ability to create clockwork creatures to do his bidding and the ability to speak to all types of mechanical machinery. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> RESERVED (Aaron) Jared Dorf [The Outcast]: Jared Dorf was cursed from birth, or at least, that's what he thinks.  With perhaps the worst last name in the The City's elementary school, Jared is resigned to being "The Dorf" for life.  His outlook is one of odd duality: that everyone is out to get him and that nobody cares. So, in general, he doesn't care either. His dispassionate parents and hard life on the street have given him a much harsher outlook on life than the other kids, and tougher skin than most adults. One day, however, he will be a super-secret ninja-spy and the bad guys of the world will tremble before "The Dorf." Super powers include the Super-Secret-Ninja-Strike, which harms and potentially stuns enemies, and the ability to climb on almost any surface, much like a spider. </li> </ul>Now all that remains is to perfect props, puzzles, and encounters!
