so we have our SHIELD knockoffs. But what does CASTLE actually stand for? I'd like to nominate Centre for Anti-terrorism Surveillance Technology Logistics and Evaluation but if someone has a less clunky acronym we can use that instead.

Who all is rooming together, PC-wise? Figure Fission probably has a solo room (due to the secretly a boy thing), but the rest of the team probably has them. Since that does leave us with seven PCs to pair up, if no one's willing to take an NPC, could have three in a particularly large room / Shodan take a solo room as well?

Sylphid + Shodan simply must happen. They contrast each other too much not to, it's bound to be hilarious.

Don't you mean Gewels? :P Also Fission will have their own room for sure, but I imagine that it would have a lot of medical equipment to keep up the idea that he is in fact, a burn victim.

Being the end of Issue One, each of you need to choose one of three options: 1. Grow closer to the team. If your character feels closer to the team, choose a person that made you feel the most welcome. Explain how, give influence to that character and mark potential. 2. Grow into your own image of yourself. Explain how you see yourself and why; Shift one label up, one down. Max is +3 3. Grow away from the team. Explain how you feel detached. Take Influence away from another character.

Always preaching about doing the right thing, then she sells me out and blames me for poo poo I wasn't even doing when she thought it might help her abysmal popularity out a bit.

 thejoshie posted:3. Grow away from the team. Explain how you feel detached. Take Influence away from another character. It was obvious that I was not human enough to be relatable, as none of the girls wanted to talk to more or really needed me. In the end, I only was in the way for everyone else, and it was obvious in the end that they didn't need me in the slightest. All that pain and sacrifice was just to learn how to do things now, and try to keep out of the way of the people who actually wanted to do things with. There was only heroing and work, and that was the punishment for daring to pretend that I was anything more than an echo, or even a good person. It was pretty clear that was the only resolution. Maybe after a while they will only see me as a machine, that gives out coffee or saves lives. In the end, it doesn't matter much I suppose, I still have to fight on to struggle to undo my wrongs, and try to prevent adding to them. Maybe it is better that the Mask is all they can see, so they won't mistake me for one of them or as someone who is alive. After I balance the scales, I can simply dissolve I guess, we all knew this story didn't have a happy ending right? Can't gently caress around with physics too long before it fucks you back. Either that or the Darkness will annihilate me, as an antimatter particle would matter. Removing Influence on Sylphid (only influence I had to give away)

thejoshie posted:3. Grow away from the team. Explain how you feel detached. Take Influence away from another character. The mission went rather terribly as far as teamwork was concerned. The first few attacks went well, and then Vermillion attacked the team, and when we encountered "Agent" Foster and he harassed Shodan and attacked Avatar, the team didn't respond appropriately to protect her/them in Jewels' opinion. Sylphid's leadership was remarkably poor, and Ms. Doring's response just pushed Jewels further away. Sylphid loses influence.

Explain how, give influence to that character and mark potential. Strange for me to say it... but despite all that happened, I feel like we could become a great team, given time. We just need to learn to know each other better, and make compromises. Of all the people, I think Shodan has confirmed that the most to me. Despite her coarse demeanor, it's pretty visible she's just doing it to keep up her own image of toughness. She's actually pretty nice beneath it! ... I'm not sure why I'm thinking of all this while currently being strangled to death, but whatever. ]Giving Shodan Influence again and marking potential. Shodan, you get to shift my Labels. Also! I'm going to need answers from all of you for the following: quote:Your legacy comes with traditions you're expected to uphold. At the end of each session, ask the other players to answer these questions about your performance. For each “no” answer, take -1 forward on your next start of session roll. For reference, here's the kind of insane and mostly awkwardly carried over from medieval times traditions of the Sylphid line: quote:1. Never use your gift of beauty for personal gain.

- Did you uphold the traditions of your legacy? Yes. - Did you maintain the image of your legacy? Haha no, you can't even control your own team, what a bad legacy member clearly. - Did you make the other members of your legacy proud? Nay, friend. 3. Grow away from the team. Explain how you feel detached. Take Influence away from another character. Everything I do gets questioned and fucks up. I try to save a villain from getting a brain injury, and everyone's mad at me. I try to help a teammate, and everyone's mad at me. I stand up for myself, and the one time that someone sides with me, I then don't realize they were feinting, and accuse them of something terrible. So yeah. I think half the team hates me, and the other half thinks I'm just a charity case monster. KittyEmpress fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Mar 21, 2016 |

Yami Fenrir posted:Giving Shodan Influence again and marking potential. Personality issues aside, she does have a suite of interesting and useful powers. That super-speed lab setup thing was neat. Hard to see her as anything other than the newest Sylphid or whatever - the painfully newest one. She's kinda dumb if I'm being honest. She's definitely not a normal kid, but that's probably one of the only things we have in common. That, and being strangled by Mary.

Bravura It's been a rough time for the team, those first couple missions. Sylphid....kind of messed up, but what did Ms. Doring expect? It's not like she's got leadership experience. Which means maybe I'll make mistakes next? No. No, I can do this, I know I can. I've got my own team and I've got the best roommate! Which....seems silly, I know. We're not super super close, but Gabi is become a good friend. She's really trusted me and knowing that she's Archangel's sidekick. Awesome. +1 Influence to Sera, taking Potential On Sylphid - Did you uphold the traditions of your legacy? She tried. I'd say that counts. - Did you maintain the image of your legacy? Not really. - Did you make the other members of your legacy proud? Probably not. Platonicsolid fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 23, 2016 |

So, out of the three End-Of-Issue choices: 2. Grow into your own image of yourself. Explain how you see yourself and why; Shift one label up, one down. Max is +3 Avatar (with a little push from Singularity) is starting to become more confident in herself at the cost of being less empathetic towards others. +1 Superior -1 Mundane And her view on Sylphid: - Did you uphold the traditions of your legacy? No (Specifically the vanquishing evil and not negotiating with evildoers portions; even if it was the correct choice to make in the situation, it wasn't the right choice) - Did you maintain the image of your legacy? No (We made a mess of things!) - Did you make the other members of your legacy proud? No

There's no option for losing your influence over someone else at the end of a session, though - that should be someone having lost influence over Fission.

Just so everyone knows, since I've said it in IRC a few times but that's not super easy to follow always - Monday through Friday this week I am driving across country. This means all my posts will be done around 10pm PST at night, or later. That's like 1am EST! I will aim to make a post every day however, if I owe one.

Hey TheJoshie - Bravura got a 6 on that roll. HOWEVER! Whenever the scene changes, the team moves back to 1 team in the pool, even if we haven't earned any more by having the leader have influence on us or anything like that. Do we have that 1 team still? Can I spend it to let Bravura succeed?

Unless I read it wrong, the way it works is when the session 'ends'. Technically, it was reset at the end of the issue, but I allowed 2-3 float over since they were gained at the tail end. Yes, Kitty, go ahead and use one, as long as you put it into narration how the failure turned to success.
