@Framing A Moose The ways you can move AWAY from your Doom:
{Team Move} When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, give them Influence over you and spend 1 Team from the pool to clear one box on your Doom track.
{Team Move} When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, give them Influence over you and ask if they honestly think there's hope for you. If they say yes, mark potential or clear one box of your Doom track. If they say no, mark a condition or mark your Doom track.
{Advancement Option} Clear or take a Doomsign
{Advancement Option, requires 5 previous advancements} Cure your doom; change playbooks

So...not a LOT of ways, but an acceptable number of ways? Maybe?

Working on backstory, specifically using the questions from the playbook, for my Outsider...for "Noon". (Because that's easy to say. I went a little bit into the grammar of her people's language. <.< I'm a nerd. And a conlanger. And...mostly just a nerd, k?)

But tied to the Black Knight satellite. We can work on ties once that's done, @Raijinslayer.

Here we go.

Noon was, as her name suggests, born in Earth's orbit. However, she was born much farther away, in the Epsilon Boötis star system. She maintains that Homo Sapiens is just an evolution of their first scouting parties of the planet. She herself is part of a new group of scouts, though unlike previous ones, she will not be seen as a god now that supers are around. While she's here to do her mission - determining whether or not humans are advanced enough to be uplifted, and more importantly, whether her people can stay here safely permanently, with their planet soon to be lost to the twin suns - she stays because she cares more about their personal lives than her job requires.

Her people have no real interest in her coming home to their planet, but they do have a "lunar fleet" on the other side of the moon that serves as a near-Earth base. They also have a satellite that's been orbiting the planet for 13,000 years which has occasionally served as a temporary home for a small number at a time. They know that they'll have to either live on Earth itself or on a space station orbiting the planet; they can't stay on their own, after all.

{Still need a reason she cares about the team}

@Ermine As far as appearances goes, I think that Kiante is going to look something like this, but with the ends of his dreads being dyed red, and him having a tattoo of the scepter of Was on the underside of his forearms.

Edit: And this tattooed on his back

That's all the characters I found. Am I correct? And make sure I gave the right people credit >< These are direct copypastas; I only changed the locations of hiders and what the hiders say (hopefully I didn't miss any, but I'll catch them presently if I did). A few say they are incomplete (including mine), but some of that can wait a little while, and obviously they all require the team stuff.

Also, have another person still, iirc. But I haven't had confirmation that he'll actually be joining us.

Brief clarification: None of the Hunters use the same colors or birds in their names. Captain Eagle, Silver Hawk, Black Condor, and Red Falcon. Those are the main four, though I guess there might be other relatives in the family tree that inherited the Shout as well. Basically just pair up a color with a type of bird and that's how you're meant to know they belong to that Legacy. Only reason Rex didn't use a color was because he was a legit Captain in the US Army so he just used his rank... plus he was the first in the Legacy so he doesn't necessarily have to match up perfectly with his successors.

That's why I had yours listed as Red Falcon. I mean...I could use the Legacy name, but that seemed a little less personal. <.<

I just accidentally my whole computer. Back to what I was writing (a list of background questions that still have to be answered).


When the team first came together...
- We defeated a dangerous enemy. Who or what was it?
- We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy?
- We didn't trust each other at first, but that changed. How? Why?
- We saved the life of someone important, either to the city, or to us. Who was it? Why are they important?
- We paid a high cost for victory. What was it?
- All things considered, we did well and impressed an established hero. Who was it?

Also, just a personal curiosity, since we have so many, are we going to have a name for our team? And are we going to split up at points so we don't have 7 or 8 at a time and making things super (-snicker-) easy. Or will we have two separate, smaller teams?

- Why do you care about the team?
Probably because he's had the "leader of men" part of Joel's "what is a superhero" dogma drilled into his head.

- We defeated a dangerous enemy. Who or what was it?
Don't have many ideas for this one. But I can certainly guess who it wasn't: Headhunter. The man who gave Black Condor (the guy who is essentially the Batman of our city/world) so much trouble would be wasted if we treated him as an offscreen first-time villain.

- We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy?
Ummm..... good question. Maybe it was some kind small scale holding facility for a few supervillains that used the opportunity to escape? Would give the team an early goal to reach: catch the guys they accidentally helped escape.

- We didn't trust each other at first, but that changed. How? Why?
Well I can't speak for everyone, but for Max I would suspect it has to do with the lineage of his Legacy. Rex often stepped into a leadership/commanding role during many of his missions and battles during WWII and part of the "tradition" of the Legacy is to step up and be a leader when needed. So if I had to guess, those instincts probably kicked in a bit during whatever our first battle was.

- We saved the life of someone important, either to the city, or to us. Who was it? Why are they important?
Um... the mayor? I can imagine someone like that taking what we did and using it to promote their mayoral campaign. Not to mention we'd be off to a potentially awkward start as we're having to deal with our initial "15 minutes of fame" on top of getting our shit together as a team.

- We paid a high cost for victory. What was it?
As a connection to one of my above suggestions, if what we destroyed was some kind of villain holding facility, then the cost of our win was that a bunch of villains were able to escape.

- All things considered, we did well and impressed an established hero. Who was it?
Silver Hawk. That one's a no-brainer. He's probably the one that "encouraged" (pressured, some might even say) both Max and Kiante into making this team a thing in the first place, knowing him. I know he's technically not doing the super hero thing any more, but he would make more sense than Black Condor, who I imagine is the kind of who isn't easily impressed (he's based somewhat on Batman after all).

Okay, this should be everything else that I need:

Who, outside the team, looks out for you now?

No one; he doesn't have any living relatives.

Why do you care about the team?

It's the closest thing to a family that he has now

We defeated a dangerous enemy. Who or what was it?

A demon that a group of wacko cultists summoned...they clearly had no idea just what they were messing with.

Relationships

Memory is your love. You've opened up to them about the worts parts of your past.

Kiante is your rival. They tried to control you at a crucial moment

Influence

You're focused. Give your love (Memory) and rival (Kiante) influence over you, but that's it.

- When did you first use your powers?
The first time Kiante used his abilities was around when he was held by heroes after the assault on his father's lair?
- Who was the first person you accidentally hurt with your powers?
That would be the protege that he kind of crushed, as he didn't meant to do it, though he wasn't sorry about it afterwards. The guy had been spewing a bunch of mean words and he'd gotten upset.
- Who, outside the team, can help you control your powers?
Directly, his father, but indirectly, I could say that maybe Joel. Not sure.
- Why do you continue to use your powers?
Kiante uses his powers because he feels he has a right to use them, and it's mainly because of Joel that he uses them to help others more often than he does to help himself.
- Why do you care about the team?
He may give off the appearance that he doesn't care for his team, but he does care for at least two of them, and that's why he works with the others, who he may just barely tolerate(Argon).

- We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy?
I say it was at some form of abandoned shack or something on the outskirts of the city, and I say we destroyed the shack and a lot of the surrounding area. In open areas like that, Kiante has very little thoughts about collateral damage.

Influence

I think either Max or Memory, though I;m not sure which. One is an old friend that he hasn't seen in a while, and the other is his foster brother that he's spent around 8-9 years with.

O_O I completely forgot about Influence.

For Noon:
Why do you care about the team? They are equals, and worthy allies of my people.
Relationships
You've been learning about Earth by spending time with Memory.
You have a crush on Psyche but you keep it under wraps.
Influence
Choose your demeanor: haughty or cheerful.
If you're cheerful, then you're thrilled to be here. Give everyone influence over you.
