Last night we started the Silver-Age Sentinels campaign that we made characters for a couple of weeks ago. I’m tempted to try to write this recap in Stan Lee’s patented purple prose, but I’d probably asphyxiate on the alliteration inside a single soul-searing sentence! So, um, sticking to my own slightly sarcastic style (sorry), here’s what happened last night.
Month: October 2004
Officer Sean O’Donoghue
Okay, since Brian did such an insane backstory to the Blue Streak, I figured I’d put in a few details of my char’s background.
Character Concept: The Blue Streak
My habit for character generation seems to be shaping up like this: during Sunday night's session, he's no more than a set of numbers and a vague concept. During my drive home, he transforms into a real character with a backstory. By Monday afternoon, he's an overly elaborate concept with more history than he could ever possibly need. That, of course, is the stage I'm at now.
Therefore, I present to you my over-long character concept for the Blue Streak. I suspect Scott (and probably others) will want to tear his hair out at my pseudo-science. Hey, it's a comic book, remember? Comments are welcome, and if anyone else wants to post their character concept, that would be great.
Silver Age Sentinels Chargen: Gaming Summary, October 3, 2004
Last night was spent doing character generation for Josh's new lower-powered Silver Age Sentinels campaign. Of course, the players did their able best to demonstrate that even “lower-powered” can equal “broken” if you push the rules hard enough. Most of us spent our time trying to figure out the character-generation rules, so there wasn't much time for backstory…or even names. Here's what I have so far:
- Orion, archer/inventor (Wendy)
- Blue Streak, aka Brandon Marsh, speedster (Brian)
- Rapid-Fire, aka Number 117, super-soldier (Mike)
- Jack Miller (no alias), extraordinary durability (Doug)
- Noir, aka Guy Garrison, skulker (Paul)
Feel free to edit these as more details become available. The setting, as far as I know, is Philadelphia 2004, in a world where superheroes have existed since WWII. Perhaps Josh can provide some more details.
(Updated with more names by Brian on 10/18.)
