ARCHER II Freaking super people... the guy with the golden aura is a pin cushion by now, and somehow, he's still standing. What's it take to bring him down? The sword guy seems to be doing fine with the woman, Connor can alway find out why he's here later, but right now... Stepping out from behind the cover, he sends more arrows flying against the man with the golden aura, while he shouts "He, sword guy! Out of the way!" before moving back around the corner again.

Why fix what ain't broke? Archer attacks Peter with Autofire Standard Arrows again: 29 DC21 TOU + up to +3DC for every 2 above defense with Autofire He steps around the corner, fires, shouts to Sever and then moves back again.

GM The purple armored man stares at Gamma Buzz for a moment, before dismissing him, turning to Timeout and Spaceman instead. "You can call me Doctor Deviation, and what I am expecting, hero, is an army, but if I am to have one, then I will first need to ensure that... that doesn't happen." He motions towards the woman that was a girl not too long ago. She looks apprehensive. "Rapid aging is not ideal in a soldier. And free will? No, that is a defect that I cannot tolerate." The voice is full of drama, as he speaks, almost like he is putting on a show. And then he gets another look at Gamma Buzz and pauses. "You are quite the interesting specimen, are you not?" the purple armored man asks, looking at Gamma Buzz. "What are you?"

Spaceman There's something about this whole situation, a sense of deja vu that Parker can't quite place. "Buzz, I think you should calm down a bit." He can't place it. Something about the man just gives him an instinctive feeling of dread. He can't let it decide what he'll do. It's just a feeling. "And who are you?" he calls out, once Lawrence has asked his question. Maybe that will help. Probably not.

Everyone discovered the ninjas, so... let's see som initiative rolls!

GM The crowd continues to go wild at Multiplicty's show. Depending on the songs, they're shouting, dancing, chanting or singing along to the songs. Whatever Bernie and the band had imagined for their first international trip, they are clearly a hit. But even then, not everything is alright. Neko is the first to pick it up. Above, near the roof that she hid with her illusions, dark shapes are sneaking around on the rafters, moving towards the scene. From their positions, Leon and Charlie spots the same, and then Neko sees the dark shapes moving through the crowds. Ninjas. And lots of them. All heading towards the scene. Finally, Bernadette sees the ninjas moving towards her from the rafters... It is just a matter of time before they all strike.

The STORMCROW "Figures that'd be how you'd get a girl," Charlie had replied with his usual grin, before Neko joined them. "She had to set up a whole scheme to make you realize what was in front of you." "Hey Neko," he responds, after having smiled at their kiss. "Your setup was great, and Bernie and the band's doing great as always." Sure, everything's going fine. It's good, it's great. So why does Charlie have this nagging feeling that something's off?

GM Macedon hesitates a bit as the group begins to set up their tents. "Hold on a moment, kids. Ms. O'Connell got a good point here." She points towards the rock outcrop that Bernadette had pointed out. It seems to be conected to a larger mesa.. "Keep an eye on your surroundings and the weather. Can you feel the wind and see all the sand? If we set up right here, then we'll get blown down if we're unlucky. So let's give that outcrop a look, yeah?" As the group approaches, the outcrop seems like it leads into a cave.

GM The lion looks Haven. He towers above the silver skinned humanoid, and is quite terrifying to behold. But as Haven would probably guess, given his knowledge of certain other stories, it's voice is small and meek. "I... I don't know anything... d-don't serve that here..." He looks around nervously. He is very obviously lying.

I have some other plans for my turn.

The STORMCROW Charlie greets Vueriz with a quick wave. She's... well, small, and blue, but honestly, he's seen weirder. "Think I saw some of the other students out there," Parker says, motioning with his head. "How about we go say hi so we're ready for the show?" He'd particularly like to see how Michael is doing with his whole team idea.

The STORMCROW Force Ops and Omega and... This is way outside what any of them should be able to deal with yet, and Bernie and the other students got into that kind of trouble already? Charlie frowns as he holds her close, but doesn't let her see it. He will have to get in touch with Ms. Summers. She needs to do something to keep them safe and... it doesn't matter right now. Bernie is here, and she needs him. "Hey, come on. Do you really think I'd choose this work over you?" It isn't anything important, and even then... "C'mon. I'll be right here with you."

Spaceman Parker closes his eyes when Michael gets ready. Being able to see the ball is one thing. It will be difficult, given the speed that Micahel will mostly likely be throwing it with, but feeling the distance to it as it passes between Michael and Carmen, going closer... He can keep up. He can feel where it is. A moment before Carmen would catch it, Parker stops it in place, infinitely expanding the space between her and the ball, then increasing the space between it and the ground to send it flying up. "Catch!"

Spaceman The wriggling portal is unnerving, to say the least. Parker stares at it, arms still crossed as he remains at the back of the group. Deep One tech. Or magic. Or whatever it is. He's willing to accept much, but this is just unsettling. He barely notices at first when Lawrence nudges him with his elbow and asks if he is ok, too lost in his own head at the moment. "No, I'm not, but I'll power through." He has to. He's the strong, stoic guy. Everyone expects him to power through.

Spaceman The draconic shapes passes over and through Parker, as he remains above the ground. Consuelo's powers are scary in the hands of herself, but with Eclipse having taken over the power? Then it's even worse. Consuelo destroyed the stone, Mizuki and Carmen are trying to take down the dragon... he could help, give it that final push, but someone has to deal with Ashley, and Parker is, in some way, fine with being the one to do that for now. What she said about black out the sun gave Parker an idea, anyway... Black dots rise from his body at even greater intensity than before. His cape rising around him, the edges fraying and dissolving into the black crackle as he stares at Eclipse. He haven't tried something like this before. Closing the distance to something this far away. It takes him a moment, but, it feels natural. Spaceman has established the connection. "Hey, Eclipse? Let's bring the sunshine." Shining bright light, solar radiation and heat come hurling out all around Eclipse, seemingly from out of nowhere, as Spaceman has closed the distance between them and the sun, opening what is essentially portals to orbit around the sun all around their enemy, catching the solar winds and bringing them here.

You would need to stunt another effect like Healing to be able to do something like that, Huck. Mechanics wise, Eclipse has made a power that does the same thing as your power, a copy of it, but is not your power, and you can reverse other people's powers. What is the descriptor for the power? Being Insubstantial, Parker is immune to Physical and Energy effects at the moment. In case I'm not immune to that (though I think I should be), I'll roll: Reflex save: 9 Fortitude: 17, I'm fine with a 1 TOU drain for now TOU Save: 28, no damage. Again, only if being Insubstantial does not make Spaceman immune. I will spend a HP to stunt this power off my Space Control Array: Blast 8 (Extras: Autofire; Feats: Homing 3, Indirect 3, Variable Descriptor 2 [Hazardous Environment]) {32/32} (Descriptors: Bring Hazard, Change distance to hazardous environment or effect) And then I'll attack Eclipse with the power of the sun: 11, and I'm gonna reroll that with another HP for: 22 That's a DC23TOU + 1DC for every 2 above defense, at max +4 from Autofire. Indirect might catch her flat-footed, but doubt it given all that's going on now.

Fixed, thank you. What you get when you update an existing sheet

Interpose Tou save: 18 I'll take the injury and bruise Regular Tou save: 16 And I'd rather not get Dazed, so I'll spend a HP to reroll the second one, which is an autopass at TOU+10.

The equipment in the lab seems designed to accelerate the creation and growth of whatever it is that the doctor is making. It seems like they might be used to create artificial beings.

Rewind Power Level: 10 (150 PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: I would like some advice here? In Brief: Time Loop Survivor who Time Loops for Great Justice! Theme: This Moment by Elevation Rhythm Alternate Identity: Naisha Sidhu Birthplace: Friday, December 21st, 2012 Residence: The Goodman Building, Midtown Freedom City Base of Operations: Worldwide Occupation: Scientist/Researcher Affiliations: The Atom Family / Atom Academy Family: It's complicated... Description: Apparent Age: Looks 20 (DoB: Theoretically September 7th 1993) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Punjabi Height: 1.674m (5'6") Weight: 60kg (132 lbs) Eyes: Green Hair: Naturally dark brown Naisha is a seemingly ordinary Punjabi woman who wears t-shirts and jeans, when she's not dressing up for the office. Although she looks 20, there's a perceptible control and precision to her every movement that no 20-year-old has, still new to a changing body. She's been exactly the way she is for an incalculable period, knows exactly how to step without misstepping, how to catch without fumbling. Her dark eyes show the weight of age, in that she no longer fears the reaction or response of others. Naisiae's voice has a typically Midwestern American accent, except when it amuses her to use one of the 20 other accents she's practiced, and her voice is a soft soprano. As Rewind, her 'costume' is a morphic molecule bodysuit that covers her neck to toe. It features the classic Atom Family/Academy design, a mostly form-fitting costume with a symbol of the atom on the left side of the chest and a distinctive black stripe on the left blocking out the left side and left arm in a light blue color. Her main uniform color is gold. History: In 1979, the original/Silver Age Atom Family discovered the broken day of Friday, December 21st, 2012 while conducting experiments in the Zero Zone. For details, you can read the original Rewind character sheet in Google Docs. The Atom Family eventually left the looped town of Millscroft behind to continue their adventures in other dimensions and realities. One left a journal that made it into the loop and eventually 'awoke' one of the inhabitants to consciousness, thereby condemning her to untold ages of curiosity, boredom, panic and eventual madness. When the new Atom Family returned in the actual year of 2012, they found Naisha Sidhu and freed her. In the real world for the first time, Naisha asked to stay on in the Goodman Building for a time while she acclimatized herself to living where time actually worked. She discovered Millscroft was indeed a real town and there was a Naisha Sidhu living there. Disturbed beyond words, she never made contact. Instead, she joined the Atom Academy as a researcher, for the decades she'd spent learning and practicing science had given her an enormous breadth of uncredentialed education. She happily indulged Dr. Atom's every scientific whim, as one of the gophers and 'hands' the scientist's AI used to continue wrapping up old research. A few years of study revealed she had some marked temporal abilities herself. Feeling a need to make a difference, Naisha started practicing what she could do and eventually joined the Atom Academy formally as a superhero. Her ability to survive death and rewind consequences in general were ideal traits for a team of explorers who kept finding danger. Now, she does what she can whenever the Atom Academy fields a team. Personality & Motivation: Naisha is fundamentally a decent person, motivated to help people and to do nice things when she has the chance. Her work ethic is extraordinary, owing to decades spent being the only source of motivation in her existence. She likes problems and puzzles, mysteries, and gathering data. Focusing on unknowns, variables, and 'things' means she can avoid focusing on her life. She's an accomplished actress and liar, a skill honed by more decades spent trying out every imaginable phrase to explain away why she'd done some crazy thing in front of witnesses back in Friday, December 21st, 2012. This gives her considerable ability in pretending to be a well-adjusted time loop survivor and she tries hard never to create doubt that this is the case. The truth is that Naisha still struggles with her existence. Consequence is meaningless to someone who just wakes up on Friday, December 21st, 2012, no worse for wear. She was raised Sikh, became a born-again Christian in her teens, and practiced every religion she could find at one time or another. She's reasonably sure there's a God after all, given all she's learned from the Atom Family in the past decade, but she's not sure she is anything God cares about. This world already has a Naisha Sidhu. What value is this strange refugee from a broken day? But people give her an excuse to pretend to be normal like them. Whenever possible, Naisha stays around or at least near other people. She's spent the last twelve years spent as a coworker, friend, lover, playmate, or even that girl-who-always-gets-coffee-and-chats-with-the-barista-every-Friday- at-7:52am. It's all to ensure she's real and she's real because others remember her. For better or worse, an eternity in Friday, December 21st, 2012 has destroyed Naisha's sense of object permanence. And she can't possibly let anyone know because talking about her mental health could lead to the possibility of institutionalization and if there's one thing she can't stand, it's the idea that she might be locked up somewhere again. So instead, she focuses on being a hero as a member of the Atom Academy. It's meaningful work with people, for people. Being kind and helping others was the only source of joy in her broken day that never wore out. Even if she helped someone for the 500th time, it was still the first time for them and seeing the genuine appreciation helped her still feel it too. And as long as she can focus on other people, Naisha can keep avoiding her need to deal with her own issues. Powers & Tactics: Naisha's powers allow her to rewind time. On people, this can either heal injuries (by resetting them back to before they took damage) or teleport them (by resetting their location back to somewhere they'd been earlier that day). On objects, this allows her to repair recently broken items or send them back to somewhere else they'd been that day (ex. Load an ambulance up with the injured and rewind the ambulance back to the hospital it'd departed from originally). She can never rewind time further back than her last Reset (capped at 19.5 hours ago). Her 4 point Second Chance feat is themed as her rewinding a mistake and redoing it. Her 5 point Inspire feat is themed as her rewinding her allies, so they can do what they'd do armed with foreknowledge. Her 3 point Uncanny Dodge feat is themed as her rewinding a surprise, so it's no longer a surprise. As a Zero Zone refugee from a broken day, Naisha herself Resets every night at exactly 1:36am CST (no matter what time zone she's physically in), causing her to disappear as if she never existed. At 6:06am CST, exactly 4 hours and 30 minutes later, she reappears in that exact same location. Each Reset reverses her physically to the exact state and condition she was in at 6:06am in Friday, December 21st, 2012. This makes her functionally immortal. If she's killed, however, her body disappears at 1:36am CST and she wakes up at 6:06am CST in Friday, December 21st, 2012 (and thus requiring her to use the equipment left behind by the Atom Family to exit into the Zero Zone and portal back to the Goodman Building). Aside from her Immortality power, this also makes her immune to direct Temporal Manipulation including (especially) her memories. Naisha can always Rewind herself back into Friday, December 21st, 2012. Under no circumstances will she ever do so, unless she's been rendered entirely without volition, mind controlled, etc. Lastly, Naisha has spent incalculable subjective time within Friday, December 21st, 2012, conscious of the temporal loop and unable to escape it. Per her backstory, her efforts to escape the loop or experience every aspect of her cursed, trapped life have left her enormously capable. As such, her Iterative Experience power represents a multitude of lifetimes of learning. So much memory requires her to consciously 'switch gears' in her brain, toggling between general areas as a Free Action. These include: Dawn: Her 'physical' skill set and her default when she's on the job or outside and not talking to people. Zenith: Her social skills, what she uses when talking to, observing or dealing with people. Twilight: Her 'knowledge' base. She switches to it when she needs to look up information, typically using Quickness to Take 20 in a turn. Night: Her 'sneak and infiltration' skill set, which has some overlap with Dawn but includes skills she only uses when being 'sneaky'. Eclipse: Her all purpose mental skill set. This is her default when she's at work in the Goodman Building, conducting scientific experiments for Dr. Atom. Complications Do you ever have déjà vu, Mrs. Lancaster?: Naisha's spent so much time in Friday, December 21st, 2012 that even slightly similar real-world encounters can trigger a PTSD-like flashback, both distracting her from what's happening around her and inducing flight or fight responses. It would be a good idea to list some examples of what could remind her of that Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors?: In connection with the above Complication, under no circumstances will she go anywhere near the state of Ohio. This is fun, but very unlikely to come up. Still, no reason not to have it on the sheet. Otherwise, in case someone would go to Ohio, it would just result in you missing a thread. What will happen if she has to go? He's gotta be stopped. And I have to stop him: In connection with the above Complication, Time Travelers are terrifying and very possibly the reason Friday, December 21st, 2012 exists in the first place. To be avoided at all costs. Like above, what will happen if she do meet time travelers? I'm a god. I'm not the God: Naisha's Rewind power has the potential to bring people back to life. She'll only do so if she thinks she can tell them or others the victim was only really hurt. If people find out she can reverse death...well, 132 people in Freedom City die of a heart attack each day. 23 die from an accidental injury. She'll be chained to the responsibility of bringing the dead to life and... This is not entirely unique to Naisha, though. Others have powers that can bring people back from the dead too, though rare. This isn't likely to be something that'll come up much, unless you want a thread based on it It's gonna be cold, grey and will last you the rest of your life: The most powerful fear that drives Naisha is the potential of being imprisoned, alone. She craves being around other people. She doesn't even like entering an empty room alone. The potential of being captured instantly triggers a fear response. As does being given responsibility she can't put down or get rid of. What will the fear response be? Lash out, panic? This is the best day of my life: Nothing else made Naisha's endless days more meaningful than knowing exactly how to make someone happy. If she sees a way to make someone's day happy, she'll do so with no consideration of cost or consequence because... I think this need to be graded a bit. Like, who would she make happy? Her friends and coworkers? Random people on the street? Okay, campers, rise and shine!: It's nontrivially difficult to remember that consequences exist, for yourself or others, after you've died as many times as Naisha has. She occasionally forgets to think potential consequences through, especially when she's under pressure or stress. While she might be able to Rewind death, she can't Rewind legal consequences. Good, very likely to come up, but be vary of using it as an excuse to be Chaotic Random It was the end of a very long day: Changing time zones changes when in the day the Reset comes. Visiting London means she vanishes out of existence between 7:36am and doesn't reappear until 12:06pm. Needless to say, operating outside of the United States can get very awkward. Given what Atom Academy will hopefully be dealing with, how does this work with other dimensions, space and such? I can't Atom and Eve it: As both a member of the Atom Academy and an employee of Dr. Atom, Naisha has responsibilities and ties to the organization. This can interrupt her schedule or provoke enemies of the Atoms to target her.

If you need it, stunt for it Alternate Power: Healing 5 (Extras: Affects Objects, Area [General Burst]; Feats: Stabilize, Persistent, Regrowth) (25 ft. radius) {23/23} You don't need both Area and Range. With Area, you heal everything out from a radius from you. Picking the Affects Objects means that this can affect both objects and people, so you can see this as your mass heal. It will affect everyone in range though, including bad guys Alternate Power: Paralyze 10 (Feats: Accurate 3) {23/23} ALTERNATIVELY you can do Alternate Power: Paralyze 10 (Extras: Ranged; Flaws: Action [Full]; Feats: Accurate 3) {23/23} Drawbacks: Totals Abilities (20) + Combat (16) + Saving Throws (20) + Skills (7) + Feats (16) + Powers (71) = 150/150 PP

Backstory wise, everything's fine, and it's pretty great, just remember that Atom Academy was only opened in 2020. You will need to add descriptors to your powers, which you can find here: https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/start/house-rules/descriptor-frequency-r13/ You can add a note under the Powers cost since they all have the same like this: Unless otherwise noted, all powers have the descriptors Temporal and Mutation) Otherwise, there's a few things that stand out, but the big one is that you're not hitting your combat caps, which will mean you'll have a really bad time in combat. With your current caps, you are essentially PL 5.5, making you much weaker than you should be: - The average of your Defense and Toughness should be 10, not just one of the scores. With Toughness +1, getting hit means you'll pretty much immediately go down. - The average of your attack bonus and at least one of your attacks (more if you want to have more options) should be 10 as well. Right now, you got +10 to hit with melee attacks, but with Str 12, anyone you hit only need to pass a DC16 TOU save to not get hurt. So, before we do anything else, we need to fix that, then we'll look at the other things and adjust the sheet accordingly with PP spending after: Let's start with your Defensive Trades, since that's the easiest: We'll add this power: Protection 9 [9PP] That makes your Toughness 10. You can describe it as your body resetting to the point just before you took the hit, and, if they manage to hurt you, simply not being able to reset far enough. So, let's give you some attack options, so you can fight. It's not your focus, and that's fine, but you'll still want to be able to, because that's just how the game works. We'll add another Alternate Power to your Rewind Array, and get rid of your Attack Specialization (Unarmed) 3 feat too Alternate Power: Paralyze 10 (Flaws: Action [Full Action]; Feats: Accurate 3) {13/20} Alternatively, you can put those 3PP earned from getting rid of the Attack Specialization feat into the Rewind Array, making it give 23PP, and then get rid of the flaw for that power. I'd probably suggest that, but let's see what else we get to The Iterative Experience array has some issues, and it might be a bit overkill. Adding Skill Mastery most likely won't be allowed like that. Anyway, given the way this is set up, I think it would be good to rework it into a Variable Power at Continuous Duration, which allows you to have multiple skills. We can set it up like this, with some sample configurations based on your alternate powers: Variable Power 3 (15PP Variable Power, Any Skill, Multiple Skills At Once; Extras: Duration [Continuous]; Standard Action to Configure) [21PP] (Descriptors: Iterative Experience) Sample configuration Dawn - Acrobatics +10, Climb, +5, Concentration +10, Drive +11, Escape Artist +4, Knowledge (Tactics) +7, Notice +11, Pilot +10, Ride +5, Stealth +12, Swim +3 Zenith - Bluff +9, Diplomacy +11, Gather Information +13, Handle Animal +2, Intimidation +2, Knowledge (Streetwise) +4, Language (Punjabi, Hindi, Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, Arabic, Korean, Russian) +7, Perform (Singing) +8, Perform (Keyboards) +7, Perform (Stringed Instruments) +8, Perform (Wind Instruments) +8, Sense Motive +9 Twilight - Knowledge (Art) +10, Knowledge (Behavioral Sciences) +9, Knowledge (Civics) +10, Knowledge (Earth Sciences) +8, Knowledge (History) +9, Knowledge (Life Sciences) +8, Knowledge (Physical Sciences) +10, Knowledge (Popular Culture) +8, Knowledge (Theology and Philosophy) +8 Night - Acrobatics +10, Climb +5, Computers +6, Disable Device +10, Disguise +4, Knowledge (Technology) +12, Knowledge (Streetwise) +4, Notice +10, Escape Artist +4, Sleight of Hand +8, Stealth +10, Survival +5 Eclipse - Computers +6, Craft (Artistic) +10, Craft (Chemical) +8, Craft (Electronic) +12, Craft (Mechanical (+12), Craft (Structural) +5, Investigate +5, Medicine +10, Notice +10, Search +10 The Duration and Amnesia flaws won't work for the Healing powers, and Amnesia isn't a flaw that exists, but could be something that could be handled via a complication. Healing is mainly applied to something that just happened in the same scene, after all. I'll help rebuild them, and add the Paralyze power to the same array Your Ability Scores are a very ineffective setup, especially if you want to be a skill monkey. With your build as it is, Strength won't matter at all. You should try to get higher Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, and maybe Dexterity. Speaking of that, Inspire 5 is kind of a waste with Charisma 12, since that means you can only boost a single other character using your Inspire. Spending 5PP on Inspire is kind of wasted if you don't have at least Charisma 16 (which will let you boost 3 people) Finally, Immunity from Death need to be bought as Regeneration. I'll work everything above into an updated sheet I'll post in the next post. I have not looked at the complications yet.

A small rebuild of Spaceman, optimizing a few things and changing his defensive tradeoffs around to fit better with how he's ended up acting in combat.

Spaceman Power Level: 12 Effective Power Level: 8 Powers Points: 184/196PP Unspent Power Points: 12PP Trade-Offs: -5 Defense / +5 Toughness In Brief: Young paragon with space manipulation powers, heavily Superman inspired. Theme: Million - Divide Music Alternate Identity: Parker Powers (Secret) Birthplace: Freedom City Residence: Bayview, Freedom City Base of Operations: Freedom City Occupation: Student at Claremont Acadeny Affiliations: Claremont Academy, Powers Holdings Inc. Family: Peter Powers (Born 1975, father), Penny Powers (Born 1972, mother, CEO of Powers Holdings Inc.), Tracy Powers (Born 2003, sister, CEO of Powers Holdings) Description: Age: 16 (DoB: 2007 [May 27] Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 6'1'' Weight: 200 lbs. Eyes: Light blue Hair: Blonde Parker has short blonde hair, and light blue eyes that seem almost inhuman in color. He has an athletic build, somewhat powerful build. He tends to stand up straight, and will usually have a friendly smile on his lips. While in normal clothes, Parker tends to wear dress shirts and ties, ranging from solid colors to more abstract shapes and colors and to cartoon characters. He will usually wear dark pants or jeans, often in contrast to his shirt and tie. He has a habit of using his hands much when talking, gesturing to get his point across. As Spaceman, Parker wears a primarily white costume, with a black triangle shape at the top of his chest, starting from his solar plexus. He wears a black cape directly attached to the black area of his costume, near his shoulders. In the center of the black area on his chest, he displays his logo, a stylized golden "S". He wears a golden belt and golden armbands. He wears no mask. When he uses his powers, black bubble-like krackle tend to appear around him, growing in size and intensity the greater the feat. History: Peter and Penny Powers: What had started as a business partnership had evolved into romance and eventually marriage. Philanthropists, adventurers, explorers, they travelled across the world, spending their wealth and time to try and make the world a better place. Penny came from old money from the Freedom City Powers family, but she was all too happy to take Peter up on his offer to actually start using that money for good. Not even the birth of their daughter Tracy seemed to slow them down. During late August 2006, when their daughter Tracy was 3, the Powers family visited one of the many laboratories that Penny had set up, one that was researching alternative sources of power. One particular research group led by one Doctor Joseph Siegel was working on a device that would siphon energy from a theoretical buffer zone that laid between universes. While Doctor Siegel explained the machine and its potential uses to the Powers couple, young Tracy grew restless and bored, and started toying with the machine, unnoticed by all. One fateful click of a button, and Penny was bombarded with a cascade of rainbow energy from the machine. She screamed in shock, but the shock soon turned to confusion, as it seemed to be nothing more than colors. While Doctor Siegel scrambled to shut off the machine and was quick to apologize and subject Penny to a number of tests, all but one came up as negative: Penny was unharmed by the burst of energy, but she was pregnant with the Powers couple's second child. The experiment into the theoretical buffer zone continued, before eventually being shelved a few years later. On May 27nd the following year, Parker Powers was born into a loving family. A doting older sister, parents that loved both siblings and did their best to teach them wrong from right, to threat everyone with respect and offer what help they could. In short, the Powers children were taught to believe in truth and justice, and to always apply those lessons to the best of their abilities. They attended the very best private schools in Freedom City, both Parker and Tracy loving the old Freedom Friends cartoon. Parker in particular idolized the Centurion, while his sister was always more fond of the Daedelus. The siblings were inseperable, spending virtually all their time together. In 2007, on his tenth birthday, Parker first displayed super human abilities, as he found himself floating above the ground. Tracy was of course the first to discover it, even when Parker tried to keep it hidden. Still, after some experimentation where they discovered that flight was simply the first of Parker's abilities, the siblings came clean to their parents, revealing Parker's ability to seemingly manipulate space itself. While worried for their child's safety, Penny and Peter showed nothing but love for their children as they did their best to help Parker understand his strange new abilities and what he could do. Still, despite his parents' help, it was Parker's sister that helped him understand how he could use his abilities on not just the world around him, but himself as well, allowing him to emulate several abilities of his heroes. Parker spent the following years struggling with his powers and keeping them to himself. He couldn't risk discovery by the Moore Administration, but with everything he had been taught and how he had been raised by his parents, it felt wrong to not use his powers to help others. Eventually, in an effort to master both his powers and learn to become a true hero. Personality & Motivation: Parker is a confident young man, who is nonetheless struggling with the complexity of his power and what he might end up doing if he is unable to control them. While acting in his secret identity, he hides some of his confidence and changes his posture, hunching over somewhat and doing his best to appear different from his Spaceman identity. He has a strong sense of justice and has trouble accepting being unable to help others, even if he has to keep his identity secret. While acting as Spaceman, Parker tries to act much like he saw Centurion do in the old Freedom Friends cartoon: He is a champion, a defender, standing up for everyone in danger. He focuses on keeping people safe and tries to avoid violence whenever possible. If he finds himself believing that a villain can be redeemed, he will try to help them to the best of his ability, whether behind the scenes or with their knowledge, depending on their individual needs. Powers & Tactics: Parker tends to present himself as a typical paragon. Strong, fast, tough and can fly. While the more advanced uses of his powers are not exactly a secret, its not something he will boast about using. Spaceman's first priority is keeping people safe and out of harms way, and he prefers to solve conflicts through words. If the situation allows him to talk down a foe instead of fighting them, he will attempt to do so. Power Descriptions: Parker's powers come from a peculiar connection to Z-Space, the realm between universes in the multiverse. On top of a general physical enhancement, giving him greater reflexes and making him physically tougher, the connection allows him to manipulate space, the distance between two objects. He has a total spatial awareness and a constant sense of the exact distance between everything around him. He is also granted a peculiar ability to seem unassuming and have a forgettable apperance when he is out of his costume, an unconscious effect of his connection to Z-Space, a sort of dimensional ripple effect that makes him harder to recognize By manipulating the distance between himself and other things, Parker can fly, or, by moving himself instantly, achieve a teleportation effect. Turning his powers on himself, he can make himself harder to hurt and move or stronger by increasing his molecular density and space, or become incorporal by decreasing his molecular space. Turning his powers outward, Parker can decrease the distance between himself and his targets, allowing him to hit someone far away, even from different angles, or alternatively to hit everyone in an area at once, applying the full force of his strength at once. He can change the physical distance between two objects, effectively moving them through space, slam space itself into a target, create a sense of vertigo by manipulating the distance that a target's senses inform them about, or even effectively locking a target in place by increasing the distance between them and everything around them. As Parker uses his powers, black bubble-like krackle tend to appear around him, growing in size and intensity the greater the feat. Complications: Chronic Hero Syndrome: Parker has always had some serious issues with not helping those in need. Walking ladies over the street, getting beat up fending off muggers, you name it. This makes it very difficult for him to ignore someone in need, a fact that can, and has been, used against him numerous times. Deviant Doctor: Spaceman has earned the attention of a villain known that he knows only as Doctor Deviation, though he so far knows little about her, aside from that fact that she is a villain and primarily acts through various minions. While Doctor Deviation will never do anything to target Spaceman's family and friends, she is prone to aiding other villains when fighting Spaceman, either by sending minions, directly interfering or simply finding ways to make the situation more difficult, earning Parker a Hero Point from the GM in the process. Son, Brother, Hero: Parker has a lot of responsibilities to his family. While his family might be understanding, that doesn't mean Parker won't feel responsible if he lets them down. The GM can award Parker with a Hero Point if he ends up in a situation where having to choose between his responsibilites somehow hinders Parker, including putting them in harms way, or even just having to answer a call from his mother who wants to chat while he is fighting Gargaton the Unspeakable. Redemption Sponsor: Even if he is by no means naive, Parker would much rather redeem any villains or criminals into using their abilities for the good of society and others, rather than just beat them up. Of course, they have to be judged as the law dictates, but before, during and after serving their sentence, he is more than willing to help them. This also means that, if it is possible in the situation, Spaceman will often try to diffuse a situation without violence, and at least offer a villain a chance to surrender and turn their skills to good before a fight. A GM can award Spaceman a Hero Point if this stalls him during a battle or gives the villain a chance. Secret Identity: Parker's parents and sister knows of his secret identity, though as the son of the owners of Parker Holdings Inc., getting found out might put his somewhat well known family in trouble. Z-Spaceman: While he is aware that his powers are tied to somewhere or something else, Parker doesn't know how deep this connection runs, or just how the connection works, but it gives Parker a certain feel and background radiation that interdimensional travellers tend to be able to sense, attracting him a lot of the wrong kind of attention. The GM can award Parker a Hero Point if someone being able to sense or detect him due to being interdimensional travellers or having the right equipment causes trouble.

The STORMCROW "The Terminus Invasion?" Charlie blinks for a moment. Time travel. Cosmic entities. Even with everything he's seen and experienced that is... a lot. "Did you... your dupe I mean... did you end up caught up in all that?"

The STORMCROW "Sure, we'll do that. Got lots of news," Charlie responds, while he returns the hug to Callie. Now Callie's her own big story, but he'll save that one for Bernie for another time. Letting go, he gestures towards Bernie and the rest of the band. "You're gonna love them, they're great. I mean, I do have a certain preference for the singer, but y'know, they're all really good."
