Dr Archeville

Archeville bypasses the bar and heads straight for the booth/table, seemingly more interested in observing others than in partaking in any activities. "So, Alan, do you come here often?"

Archeville allows Keira in before him, so he can look out the window as they go.

Quite a few folks at the ATT were bemoaning the loss of GW's RPG front, so this should make 'em happy!

Just wondering how many non-natives of Freedom City are running around on the board. Doktor Archeville's from Germany (and I apologize in advance if I get anything about German culture terribly wrong, though I do not apologize for zhe bad Marvel-German accent ). I know Poltergiest is from Bulgaria. Any others? Oh, and if anyone has or plans to create a non-American character -- especially a European one -- and needs something Science-y (like a lab accident) for their background, feel free to use Doktor Archeville :)

"I'm good to go; I had a hot dog from a sidevalk vendor earlier. Not nearly as good as back home, of course, but it did hit zhe spot."

"Ah," Archeville replied, in a tone that seemed to be that of one trying to mask disappointment. "Vell, I'm sure you've found fine vays to make your mark in life, and shall have an exciting und interesting life in zhis fine city." Archeville again spread his arms wide to encompass both his newfound acquaintances, and his tone shifted to one more cheery and hopeful, "Both of you shall!"

And Archeville's 30. Though probably looks to be in his mid-20s, what with being an Attractive Superhero ;)

"How could I call you a villain? Vell, you are zhe one mit an unnatural trail of darkness behind you.... But, not all lights are good, nor is all darkness evil." "As for vhy I am here, it is as I said: I vish to help. I've done much to help folks in Germany and some surrounding countries, but I believe I can do more good here," he spread his arms wide, "in Freedom City. I'm already working on setting up a base in Hanover, though zhe... bureaucracies here are less efficient zhan vhat I am used to." "So, vhat brings you two out here? Are you a native, Alan?

Question about Poltergeist: What is meant by "Noticeable [snare] When Kizzy walks around small tendrils of shadow seem to follow her."? Snare's already noticeable by default. Do you mean she's always got small tendrils of shadows trailing behind her? Or that her Snare goes beyond noticeable and into obvious[/] (optional rule from Ultimate Power), that they're so dark and unnatural that the snares can be seen clearly by an average bystander from 200 feet away?

"I'm quite relieved to hear zhat, Alan!" Archeville said as he shook his hand. "I vould hate for us to get off on zhe wrong foot!" "Bulgaria, eh?" he says/asks as he turns back to Keira. "Zhat's a good deal southeast from Germany, I believe. I am from Schönwald im Schwarzwald, in zhe Black Forest, far to zhe southwest of Hamburg. I haff been zhere a few times, helped break up a ring of smugglers operating zhere. Nasty business, zhat. As for mein belt, I'm afraid to say zhat zhis is zhe only one I haff. I had a spare, but it vas destroyed vhile fighting some self-proclaimed hexen -- er, witches -- in Externsteine." "Plus," he added with a wink to Keira, for all I know, you two are villains trying to fool me into vorking for you!"
