So far, my character ideas are either an exciteable fanboy/girl/person who will squee over the heroes despite being a hero themselves. I plan to go with this idea if I end up an A-lister and maybe if I end up being a B-list hero, since an A-lister squeeing sounds like the funniest.
If I get tech hero, I don't know if that premise could really work, since I might just end up like Syndrome from The Incredibles, something I'd rather not do. So I'll probably recycle my scrapped concept for my Sci-fi cyborg, just made lighter and softer and with a few frills cut off to adapt them to the setting.

Oh my goodness, so many beautiful, amazing, incredible ideas! It's going to be a spectacular to see all your characters come to life! We've got super twins, an awesome journalist, dramatic fake alien princess and OHMYGODHOWDIDIGETHERE hero!!
I am sort of holding on to an adaptable character. :3 As I've mentioned before, hopefully a time bender if I get assigned a hero role or the hypnotized villain. If, let's say I get the Dark Magician - I suppose I should stick with superpowered magician tricks. I intend on doing a full Chirs Angel marathon in case of it. If assigned an evil genious - well, better not.
But basically what I have in my head is a man, tattoed from head to toes. Maybe a rogue-ish 20-ish year old that dropped college after a bad experiment. Or maybe a forty year old who runs a club. And probably divorced, with kids. (Is that possible by the way?)
Oh oh oh
And I want him to have a talking snake tattoeed on his neck and face and the snake moves and has a mind of its own and gives him whatever the heck his powers may be.
... Or maybe that's super dumb. ._.
Okay, it is. XD It's awful, but I just like the idea of a living tattoo. :I

Or maybe a forty and a club owner. And probably divorced, with kids. (Is that possible by the way?) If you mean having a character divorced with kids, absolutely you can do that ^^ (because surely it wouldn't be illegal to, I dunno, fly to work or lift heavy stuff with super strength or something so long as you're not doing anything illegal with the powers, right?) Gonna bring this up with Shinko and Carrie when they're not online and get official clarification on that XDD I think it'd be okay as long as they were registered, but I want to double-check and make sure I'm not missing/forgetting anything we might've discussed previously. Also it's about 2AM here, probably not the best time for me to set down worldbuilding details As Fact XD Layla "Nimbus" Karimi , convening has been done and yes, those would be acceptable uses for powers so long as the person is registered and isn't doing any on-the-side vigilantism ^^ There was some discussion legal/illegal/registration/participation in the Skype chat as well, and Coaster made a post that summarized it nice and concisely: [8/28/2016 6:37:26 PM] Coaster: So let me get this straight Unregistered, un-powered -> normal citizen Unregistered, powered -> illegal Registered, powered, incognito -> legal, but not a superhero Registered, powered, on the show -> superhero ((sorry if this pings you twice, Coaster!)

I'm only playing as an NPC and I have barely the most nebulous idea of my character but I am still so stoked 8DDD
(chat gave me a few ideas, but the most concrete I have is the proprietor of "Gyro City", so if anyone wants to treat their heroes to some gyros you know who to call! ;D and DEFINITELY NOT the shawarma place across the road, seriously gyros are better trust me)

seriously gyros are better trust me) ... 1v1 me irl m8 -- Thanks for the offers to help guys. If it is worth anything, I came up with an "idea" that might amuse some people. And possibly creep you out. And make you wonder if there's anything in the water I drink. FIREFLYMAN Who is Fireflyman, you ask? Well, a few years back, there was a simple, innocent firefly living in the bayou in Louisiana. It had a simple existence. It buzzed around, ate pollen and other insects, maybe mated with another firefly in its spare time, glowed a lot, etc. Then, his wing was bitten by a radioactive male of the homo sapien species. Injured, the firefly floated to the ground and fainted. When it woke up, it was surprised that, in addition to its wings, it had four appendages. He slowly raised himself off the ground without even thinking and looked into a nearby swampy puddle. A face of a man--which he knew to be his face--stared back at him. Remarkably, demonstrating that he gained the theory of self, he felt his face with his new human hands. He slowly realized what had happened. He had become one of the giants that sometimes walked through the swamp. A nearby morally-dubious scientist who may or may not have been responsible for the radioactive human, noticing his strange, long, insect-like features, took him in. The scientist was soon arrested and Fireflyman was left to fend for himself in New Orleans. At first, Fireflyman wanted to return to normal--to how life usually was. It was not too long until he realized that life would never be the same again, mostly because fireflies have a very short lifespan, and by the time a "cure" was found, all of his friends would be dead. Ever since then, he had dedicated his time to trying to fit in with the new human society . . . and soon found his calling as a reality show star in Heraclia, where he fought crimes and the forces of evil. Audiences love his innocence and occasional gaffes with not only society, but the human species in general.

Moni And he discovers a love of gyros, which fireflies cannot eat. So more reason to keep a human mouth and tongue.

I will be playing Wheatley.
Who is a Good Boy.
8D 8D 8D 8D
Wheatley loves HOOMANS, walks, the magic door (if he goes near it while Hooman is at work, it opens and he can go outside into the Yard!!), wiscuits, kissing strangers on the face, and--
-- SQUIRREL!
... Erm.
As I was saying--
-- OH ANOTHER SQUIRREL!
...
8D
Wheatley is a Good Boy. ^______^

Shinko Indeed, Fireflyman frequents the Gyro shop so much he has become "friends" with the Gyro person, though his idea of friendship involves very strange dancing rituals. "Humans can surely communicate via movement, correct? You are all so intelligent, of course you can," he says, his body moving in peculiar directions and his back glowing ominously. The audience is slightly confused as a narrator quickly explains some fascinating aspect of firefly biology. oh welp the badfic has begun

So I'm mostly just brainstorming ideas for my character, and trying not to stick too closely to any of them because it'll mostly be my role that determines how I finish my character. Though for the most part, all of my ideas I had were extremely vague, not enough to get off the ground on. I still don't have a lot of character ideas bouncing around in my head.
I did think of one, though, that I'd like to get down. It involves my character's powers being Invisibility. Probably invisible at will, they'll do their crime-fighting with subtlety and sneaking into places to mess things up. But how is that exciting on camera by itself? They need to be part of the show! And thus, they need to be interesting if they're going to get ratings. So if there's a button in front of them to finish the task, well... they can't just push it. No, they use all sorts of advantages and rube-goldberg type mechanisms to press the button in the most complicated way possible, so that the audiences eyes are still glued to the screen to see how it all goes down. How good the character is at this depends on if they're an A-lister or B-lister. (Still need to work on how it would work in tech, though there are some ideas. And it could still work if my character is a sleeper.)
Basically, a character who does everything in The Most Complicated Way possible.
I need to develop them more than that, but that's one I had. Though I still need ideas at least for the other roles where this wouldn't fit. xD And maybe I might stick to the idea of the character who must make everything super complicated, even if it would be better if they didn't. Still needs further brainstorming.
But at least I have an idea. xD (And because all roles are revealed, I don't have to keep my development quite as secret. \ o / ...Which is an interesting change, I'm so used to keeping stuff secret for games.)

You're incredible, I already love fireflyman! I cracked up so bad at "all his friends would be dead" part. And other parts, too. Okay, it was 100% good feels to read this.

Well, I have no idea how you could possibly top the charm and nobility of characters like THE PYTHON, Garrick, or Travis, but I have faith! <3 and our characters will definitely not get into a disagreement or spat ever =D

Hey, I'm assuming unless our heroes are 'genius millionaire playboy philanthropists', they'llneed dayjobs of some kind? Because I've been thinking about that for a while, don't want to settle on something before I get my role but thought I ought to check now.
Shinko, maths is terrifying. Thank you for doing that stuff so we don't have to!
