So if I'm playing Spark, the big question is this: are you cool with me making her backstory totally up to you? Or do you want me to come up with some/all of it and give that to you to work in?
Still working out backstory/names but this is the build of the character I've put together using the guided method:
Background: Struggling
Power Source: Radiation
Archetype: Speedster
Background: Sarcastic
Principle of the Debtor
Principle of Speed
Ah, good. That rules out the one I was in the middle of generating, but that's fine, I like my other ones better. May still make one or two more, but right now I'm leaning toward:
- Name: Sylph (maybe Masque? Haven't decided male or female)
- Background: High-class
- Power Source: Nature
- Archetype: Flyer
- Personality: Alluring
- Principle of Compassion
- Principle of the Mask
Principle of Compassion? Multiple Blank slates? I nominate Mindwanderer's hero for team leader. Also, I know Pydro was put on the list, but it seems like they only commented, not expressed interest. It seems we only have 5 players, which I think is ok?
I would nominate that Sockpuppet not be team leader, but I do think that they should probably know someone else in the team prior to the start of the game.
Up to you. Could come up with some if you’d like.
Correct. Only commented.
This is my hero sheet link at the bottom. Not fully sold on the hero name yet but it initally sounded good to me. Anyways, my background story I have so far:
Dad was a boxer but that doesn’t help pay the large medical bills incurred between his fighting and his mother’s chronic illness. While Fritz like his boxing he wasn’t taken seriously enough to get paid anything. Through some contacts he found out about some guinea pig work at a lab. Typically the work was fairly benign but one saw safety equipment malfunction resulting in Fritz being exposed to radiation. Initially he only lost his hair and the lab offhand couldn’t find anything else wrong. Trying to let go of some pent up frustration he got into a friendly spar at the training room and found he was laying blows faster than he ever had. Those around were stunned. Fritz surprised by this left and went walking home only to find himself instantly there. Putting his hand on a nearby tree he saw it start to glow and wither.
Edit: Hero name is now Collider and an updated link https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbfp8wer2rlv17t/Collider.pdf?dl=0
If you're not happy with Half-Life as a name, I'll toss in Collider or Big Bang as suggestions.
I've got a full sheet for Spark, but I gotta clean it up before I post
Here is Sockpuppet's Sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10rlNnwr12ZSmO7P5DBJ3EX37nvu5wbCx/view?usp=sharing
Lemme just copy+paste from the Let’s Make Some Random Characters thread:
So as long as this realities version of Nightmist was here, and now gone, my backstory/concept works.
Gate, or Beatrice Thea Gates if they ever need an identity to be put on paperwork somewhere (Bea for short). Vaguely feminine mistform, long silver/white hair, glowing white eyes. No mouth, no nose, no ears. Communicates via telepathy, but they have the Principle of Whispers, their head is always full of jumbled voices.
Collider sounds perfect.
Leffa, can I get GM permission for a special Power selection? I want this character to have social skills, but every roll requires a Power and she doesn't have access to anything that really makes sense for rolls to just talk to someone. Shapechanging is about the best I can do unless she's talking to an animal or a plant. She doesn't have access to Intellectual Powers. No Archetype (or Power Source) has access to Hallmark as a category, but she does have access to Signature Vehicle and Signature Weaponry through Flyer.
Could I maybe take "Fey Charm" as an Invented Power? Otherwise, I can redo the build to go with Unknown as the Power Source, which isn't the best match for where I was trying to go with this, but I can make it work.
Psychic offers Suggestion, but if that's not your intent, maybe a new Psychic power called Empathy?
Neither Nature nor Flyer has Psychic either.
That said, I was only looking for the Intellectual category, but I can get Presence with Mystical or Supernatural, too, and those could work. Funny enough, the illustration for Supernatural even shows someone who clearly seems to be a nature spirit type. I'll make it work somehow.

I couldn't find a form-fillable sheet for a Modular hero, so here's a cleaned-up version of the google doc for Spark!
Speaking of fillable Modular Character Sheets, here is the one I made in Google Sheets.
