Trebuchet Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: In need of a good origin story Ballistic is a good name. For a costume you might do something like Cyclops wore in the X-Men films: Black leather, padding on chest, elbows and knees. He's a bit more of a jerk than I'd be comfortable playing, but maybe it's more competitiveness and a bit of an inferiority complex than outright jerkness.

RPMiller Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: In need of a good origin story Hmm... yea, that costume would keep with the extreme sports theme, but it feels a little too modern. The setting is modern, but the feel is Silver Age. As I mentioned, the jerk-ness will be pretty much gone once he discovers that he killed a couple friends, and crippled his girlfriend. He will become very repentant. Again very Spidey-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMan Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: In need of a good origin story After studying eastern mental disciplines for years, our hero discovers the ability to project a Psychic duplicate of himself that maefests physically, and can move at the speed of thought! How's that for Silver Age? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, Spidey's little incident provided him with a motive to adventure. This guy's accident mainly provides him with a motive to NOT adventure. I would consider lightening up his story a little. It's very dark and provides no particular heroic motive. But that's just my opinion, of course.

RPMiller Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Re: In need of a good origin story How about incorporating the color of the train somehow into his costume' date=' to remind him not only of how he got his powers, but the cost of becoming too absorbed in the moment of thrillseeking?[/quote'] That's not a bad idea at all. I'll have to give some thought to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
