I am working on an Automan character.

I am asking for help on some stuff.

1) SHould I base everything on an END RESERVE 'when given enough power it can be made to FEEL real'. If I do, How big a reserve and what type of REC?

2) How do I do Cursor

3) List of abilities AUTOMAN has shown

Thank you.

1) Based on what I remember of the series, I think this is just a Physical Limitation which prevents him from coming out during the day.

2) Cursor is a Follower of Automan, with Flight, probably Desolidification, and the ability to Summon Autocar and Autochopper; you might give him a VPP to represent most of the other things he can make.

3) I recommend Googling "Automan" and taking it from there. It was only on for 13 episodes, and not many people will have seen them all.

Good luck.
