Re: The Power Brigade Interview Form Thank you for your interest in the Power Brigade Super Hero team, please fill out this form to the best of your ability. Should you require special equipment (Heat proof pencils, etc) in order to complete this form, it will be provided. The Power Brigade does not share this information with any other civilian source, but maybe required to share it with certain govt ones (at risk of losing our tax exempt status). Please be as honest as you can. Super Hero Name: Spectrum (Optional)Secret Idenity/Alternate Name: Parker Connolly (Optional)Ethnic Group/Species: Caucasun/Mutant human Place of Birth: Chicago, Il. Date of Birth: January 11, 1978 Question 1. How did you hear about the Power Brigade team? Internet Question 2. What do you feel you can offer (Both in Super heroic powers/gifts and your knowledges) to the Power Brigade team? I can provide long range support through the use of my light pluse blasts as well as a force field that I can expand to protect people in close proximity. Can also manipulate light for various effects such as invisibility and creating holographic images. I can also see in both IR and UV. I'm also a skilled pilot and can maintain and repair most aircraft. All of that and a sense of humor to bring any needed levity to the situation or throw off a villian with a well placed quip. Question 3. Why do you wish to join our team, and what do you hope for if you join? A chance to work with other heroes and broaden my horizons. And to show that mutants are people too. Question 4. Have you ever been on a super hero team before? If so, which one(s) and why are you no longer a member? Yes, I was part of team based out of Ravenswood Academy. I have taken a leave of absence to sort through some personal issues. Question 5. Are you a supervillain, govt agent, law enforcement official, media person, or anyone else who is attempting to infilitrate the Power Brigade? No. Question 6. How often will you be availible to fight crime and save the world? What schedule would be best for you? Anytime Question 7: Do you have some disability, ailment, or other situation (Occasional Demonic possession, intense allergy to space rocks, etc) that our scientists, doctors, and mystics should take into account? As a side effect of my powers, I have an increased sensitivity to light. Also expanding my force field causes increased strain on my body an can only sustain for short periods before I become too weak to do anything. Question 8. To what degree do you comply with the law? Are you registered? I comply with the law as much as possible and I am not registered seeing as I do not want to make my mutation public knowledge Question 9. Will you be able to provide your own transporation to and from the Power Brigade HQ? Yes. Question 10. What are your feelings on death and property damage? Above all I try to avoid death or killing of any kind. I've found that property damage is a little harder to avoid at times. Question 11. Are you willing to wear our team Logo? No, I still have connections to my previous team and don't want to feel like I'm cutting myself off from them. Question 12. How may we contact you should we be interested in having you join? (Phone, mystic mirror, large signal, etc) I can be contacted through Ravenswood Please include any additional notes about yourself you feel are relevant below: Whenever I get extremely angry I experience a massive spike in energy that manifests itself in a powerful beam. It usualy leaves physicaly drained and I have no control over it. Also the older brother of my girlfriend/previous team mate wants to kill me and someone who claims to be my ancestor who's been alive for several hundred years is after me for reasons unkown. Thank you for your interest in the Power Brigade. All aplications will be reviewed, if no response in 4-6 weeks, it is likely the team is currently filled.

In most of the games I've been in, romance is seldom played out. For me it's something I like to play out and I sometimes incorporate a love interest into character backgrounds if I think it works. My character Spectrum that I've turned into a member of a NPC team of mutants for a game I'm not sure I'll run or not (I've never GMed before and feel a lack of inspiration), is involved with one of his team mates (ther're almost like the Cyclops and Phoenix of the team) and are key elements to a major plot I've been developing. What I like about thier set up is that thier powers are polar oposites (He has light based powers, her's are darkness based. Cliched? Probably, but it works and I like it).

Q: What's the idea behind Foxbat's latest plan? A: Before he passed out he mumbled something about Mr. Potato Head.

Q: What's the latest comic Top Cow is releasing? A: Hmm..cruchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.

Q: What happened they said he wasn't going to be working with Erin Gray anymore? A: Look out, the cow's packin' a railgun!

Q: Why not use a claw hammer? A: He just kept running around screaming "MY EYES, MY EYES!"

Q: Why did you shoot that dismembered corpse? A: Oh sure it's cute now, but wait until it gets bigger.

Q: What happened to the people that were kicked off of Big Brother? A: "So that's what the airlock is for."

For me, designing the costume is sometimes the hardest part. It takes a good long while for me to even come up with a design that I like. And even then I debate over what the color scheme should be. I tend to favor body suits that leave the head exposed or the arms, nothing really revealing. As for a mask of some sort, it just depends on the character. The general designs I come up with are often derived from the powers, some aspect of the character's personality or it's just something that comes to me out of the blue. I sometimes look to my comics for something that catches my eye and use it as a template. Not outright copying it but altering it enough that it looks different and works with the character.

Q: What advice did you give Hermit before his date with the Hilton Sisters? A: 40 gallons of car wax.

Q: What happened to my chracter sheet? A: The body was found covered in wrapping paper with a big red bow and a greeting card.

Q: What happened to Foxbat after his last scheme? A: Whatever it was, it just melted on the spot.

Q: Who foiled your plans to scare people from that amusement park by dressing as a ghost so you could steal some hidden treasure? A: It sorta had a burning, itchy feeling.

The only time I played using secret ID, was vigilante ninja whose day job was a computer programmer.
