Hey, big nasty conflict-inducing posts are way more fun. You've made Artemis actually do some thinking. XD
EDIT: Hey, is it alright if I ask what kind of journey you're trying to take your characters on? Or what do you see them battling with?
For example, Vicki's big deal with this whole champion-powered situation is that she's feeling like she's not in control of her life. Basically since she's been a child, she's known what she wanted and how to get it, and even how to adjust to things that don't fit her ideal world. But now, this day is just wrecking her whole worldview. This crazy occurrence doesn't fit in with how she thinks her life should be, and she's not sure how to adjust to it. She hasn't felt out of control of her life like this in a long time.
As for Raze, he's lived out his life hoping to help people as a psychiatrist, but that has done nothing from his perspective. He's just gotten stressed and frustrated over time, but now he thinks he actually has the ability to do something. Unfortunately, he's so obsessed with finally being the savior that he's not stopping to think clearly about how he can best help, and he just ends up being really rash.
What's going on in your guys' characters mind? (If you're willing to share.)
