Sophistemon Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 This is the Out-of-Character Discussion thread for Lights, Camera, Action!
Heritage Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Um, the name is Miracle Girl, not Wonder Girl Also, her dad works for AEGIS, which is another reason she might have been recommended.
Sophistemon Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Oh boy, one post in and I'm already bad at this. I've made the change; please forgive me for the error. Everyone, don't hesitate to let me know when I've flubbed something; I'm happy to edit my posts so that they're more sensible. Edited July 28, 2016 by Sophistemon
Heritage Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Just a little bit of info about Casey's dad for those who know about AEGIS (I don't think this requires another edit, Soph): Miracle Girl (real name classified) is the daughter of Vigilant (real name classified), aka 'America's First Line of Defense!'. He's basically a bit of cross between Captain America and Superman who works closely with NORAD to monitor the skies over the US. (Depending on Adept's security clearance, he might know Vigilant's first name.)
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Hmmm, yeah, that reminds me of something. Soph, would you allow me to use Adept's Well-Informed feat on pretty much everyone in the room? Well, anyone with a Reputation chart, or whoever cares to give up any information. I haven't actually had a chance to use that feat yet in any game, and now seems like a fun time.
Sophistemon Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 Good idea, Blarghy; I have no issue with that.
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Mmmkay, so, in alphabetical order... Doctor Deoxy: Gather Information 1: 1d20+15 33 Miracle Girl: Gather Information 2: 1d20+15 16 ...Hah! Guess he doesn't know Vigilant's first name. Sea Devil: Gather Information 3: 1d20+15 28 So that's enough for everything on Dr. D's chart (the DC20 threshold will concern Adept a bit, I think), MG doesn't seem to have one (not that it matters a whole lot, with that natural 1), and neither does SD, far as I can tell. AA, want to let me know what you think is reasonable for Adept to know, with that kind of roll?
Heritage Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Other than her secret identity, Miracle Girl is more or less an open book. She's in her late teens and been active in Freedom for close to two years. She can fly, is super-strong and really tough. Her most notable achievement was working with a group of other heroes to save a jet plane from crashing. She probably also has a reputation of being very nice and a bit of a 'goody two-shoes' Edit: okay, with that crappy roll, he probably only has a vague idea of her powers and maybe heard she's 'nice'; he might not even know about her connection to Vigilant! Edited July 28, 2016 by Heritage
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Hehe. Yeah, I think you're right; there should be consequences for natural 1s, at least. He shouldn't know who her dad is (especially since that might be funny eventually).
Heritage Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 It makes sense, really; she's only been active in Freedom for two years, and their relationship really isn't common knowledge outside of the agency. Adept doesn't really keep track of kids!
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, that's his excuse. He could've totally known all her secrets, he just didn't feel like it. I'm amused by the idea of it coming back to bite him anyway. If he's a jerk to Miracle Girl (as he is to just about everyone, eventually), then perhaps in the epilogue Vigilant will be waiting for him in his office for a little discussion. Also, is Vigilant a forum-based NPC, or part of the standard setting, or what? I've been wondering. I think I looked through the Character Bank at one point and couldn't find the guy.
Avenger Assembled Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 That should be enough for Adept to know the secret Sea Devil is trying to be discreet about - that she is a Deep One in armor from space!
Heritage Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Vigilant is a non-statted, non-canon NPC who's part of Miracle Girl's backstory, though I might have partially statted him for AA once. One of these days, I should make him more official!
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Iiiiiinteresting, all around. I think this is the dictionary definition of a motley crew.
Blarghy Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Oh! Forgot to roll for my Nightmares drawback. Fortitude: 1d20+7 15 Woo! Just barely made it. No Fatigue here!
Sophistemon Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) @Avenger Assembled Not a problem! I'm glad to have gotten a chance to include Sea Devil; she's an awesome character. @Exaccus I didn't have Chalmers address you because you said that Deoxy was speaking in a whisper -- I'm not leaving you out. If you'd like, I could edit the post so that you were heard. Edited July 31, 2016 by Sophistemon
Exaccus Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Its up to you! I just ment the fascinating part was in a whisper but im not so good at the grammar.
Sophistemon Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 I apologize for the delay; I meant to post yesterday after work but I didn't get home until nearly midnight and I just didn't have it in me.
Exaccus Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Sounds good to me! Want me to make any rolls for whipping up a tracker thing? i imagine it'd be inventing or such! was thinking a psychic beacon of some sort, feature of some level "Creator knows location" with dimensional 3? though im open to suggestions!
Sophistemon Posted August 5, 2016 Author Posted August 5, 2016 Does anyone else have anything that they'd like to say, in-character, before the next GM post?
Blarghy Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Nah, I'm ready to get to the mad science inventing too. Should be fun to see!
Exaccus Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Yes! Let the Sciences COMMENCE! Get the frog ready for vivisection! but yes, i don't have much more to add, probably a quick little post when i find a spare moment
