Re: Teen adventure ideas? Excellent suggestion. Repped. And, to borrow roughly one of the said plotlines: The Foreign Exchange Student - So, what's the deal with the student from across the sea, anyway? Is s/he just a shallow hottie, a misunderstood outcast trying to make a fresh start in a new land, or a jerk who's trying to upstage our heroes? Or is s/he, maybe, a villain trying to win the Student Body President election as the first step to taking over the city, and then the world?

Re: Superheroes, Power and Responsbility For some reason, as I've been reading this thread, Marvel's recent Civil War has come to mind. Am I way off point here, or does it seem to me we've already seen what could happen if some super-genius like Reed Richards decided to change everything for the 'common good' of the rest of us? These are excellent points. The only way we seem to be able to learn anything of value is to do it for ourselves. Protecting people from their own choices--or from the consequences of their own choices, may be a better way to say it--teaches them that it's not important to make good, sound, and reasonable choices. And you can't just eradicate choice. The Cold War should have taught us that.

Re: WWYCD: Out of cash Jack Diamond would figure it's time to collect the reward money on a couple of criminals he's been keeping on the back burner while more pressing issues have held his attention. Pariah would use Earth Magic to locate something of value hidden away in the rocks. Thunderstrike would hack into VIPERnet and siphon off some of their funds. What? It's not like they're going to report it.... Enigma would work with some of the other heroes--Diamond, perhaps--on some sort of operation to bring in highly-valued criminals. He also knows enough about certain people that he could blackmail them if it came right down to it. Amethyst has all the resources of a 4,000-year-old secret society behind her. It's hard to imagine her running out of money. Morningstar would hit the street, looking for pimps, drug dealers, and petty criminals with more money than they really need. ColdFire has a 20 COM. Photoshoot, anyone? Wild Card would just enter a high-stakes poker game. Casino Royale, anyone? Onyx would have no idea what to do, but once someone else presented a plan, he'd be behind it 100%!

Re: WWYCD: "I" in Team All right, here's my lineup: Amethyst: Combat mage with some telekinetic and telepathic powers, among others. Trained from birth to combat an extra-dimensional invasion that was foreseen to happen in her lifetime. Morningstar: Flying martial artist with a stick. Tactically, think Hawkgirl from the Justice League animated series. ColdFire: Energy projector with mystic-based cold powers. Also has teleportation and a small (10 pt.) VPP. Also a computer hacker and new mom. Wild Card: Savate master with a deck of enchanted playing cards he can throw as weapons. Professor of Archaeology at UF-Vibora Bay. Onyx: Stone-based energy projector. Can also turn his body to stone to become (almost literally, as well as figuratively) a brick. Works as a geologist in one of NYC's museums. Amethyst would be the team leader almost by default; she's been trained for leadership, and nobody else is particularly suited to the role. Being the oldest of the team members, Wild Card would be the lieutenant (second in command) and unofficial father figure. I think the team would get along well, despite some drastically different personalities. Amethyst has essentially no personal life and very experience with 'civilians', but gets along well with other heroic-minded people. Morningstar started out depressed, then moved to angry, and is now well on her way to being merely driven. She doesn't have much of life outside of heroing. ColdFire has developed a liking for odd company (i.e., Meeb) and has always been a friendly, if nerdy, sort of girl. Wild Card is smart, friendly, curious, and unnaturally good-fortuned. And Onyx, while not the youngest member of this group (Morningstar claims that honor) is the newest at the whole hero thing. He's bright and enthusiastic, but still inexperienced and often impulsive. He's likely to cause a little friction just because he's not used to working with a team yet. Great thread, by the way. Repped!
