It's the Real Deal, and you're a Mid-Tier Villain with a Vigilante bent, or a Vigilante with a criminal disposition or mental illness.

Time to determine your superpowers. You're Mid-Tier, and can choose. Do you want to have a guaranteed 30 Power Points, or do you want to roll 2d20+5 and take the result?

Rolled 4, 14 + 5 = 23 (2d20 + 5)

>>3036074
I'd like to roll

I'm going to have to leave for the next five or six hours in thirty minutes, this'll be your last chance to character build until then.

>>3036116

D'Oh shit, I was going to wait for three votes one way or another, but if you're game, we can run with this.

>>3036074
2d20+5 yields 25.5 on average, we take the assured 30

Not a half bad powerset for a Vigilante/Villain. Let me explain how the power points system stolen and slightly altered from a dead quest works.

> Superpowers range on a tier system from tier 1 to tier 20. A tier 1 power is enough to give a slight edge over an ordinary citizen, a tier 5 power is enough to confront a squad of trained professionals on equal footing, a tier 10 power is enough destroy a small town with little difficulty, a tier 15 power is enough destroy a small country with little difficulty, and a tier 20 power is enough to pose a threat to human civilization.
> 1 in 10,000 people have superpowers, generally, the more superpowers someone has, the weaker each one is, and vice versa. The vast majority of superpowers are between tiers 1 and 5, with uncommon outliers ranging from tiers 6 to 10. Powers at tiers 11 through 15 are extremely rare and widely feared. Powers between tier 16 and 20 range from fleetingly extraordinary to one in a million, and are spoken of only in hushed whispers.
> To determine which tier your superpowers fall under you have 28 power points, as rolled earlier. Power points can be spent to upgrade a superpower's tier at the cost of 1 per tier between tiers 1-10, and 2 per tier between tiers 11-20. If you have an unwanted superpower, you can sacrifice it for 2 extra points.
> Additional power points can be gained in-game through violence and extensive training, which you'll learn more about as the game continues. Once certain powers have reached a specific tier, you'll get the chance to spend power points on closely related powers, and if you wish, you can spend 4 power points for an additional roll.

>>3036713
Yeah, I am aware of how broken Probability manipulation is.

Honestly, I was debating whether or not I should burn all of the other powers and pour all of the points into probability manipulation, or do what I did.
In the end, I decided that making superpowered proxies would be more interesting, both to write for and to read about.

Sure we dont want to tone down our powers? We are quite OP no matter what. Or make a commitment of only using certain powers when absolutely necessary - keeping our cards close to our chest.

I've got a four page essay due in six hours, so it'll be a while before I can post. Vote while I'm gone, and if there's a tie, I'll randomly select. Keep in mind, Probability Manipulation is absolute bullshit, but it's not necessarily enough to handle budget bin Superman or a coordinated military strike on your apartment.

>>3036748
> Sure don't want to tone down powers
Not really. Having a specialized niche that you excel in is better than being mediocre at a bunch of things.

> We are quite OP no matter what
How so?

> Or make a commitment of only using certain powers when absolutely necessary - keeping our cards close to our chest.
Let's allow the OP to explain our circumstances before we start planning how we should be behaving.

>>3036748

You're no more bulletproof than the average man, trust me, you're not invincible.

>>3036758
>Superman or a coordinated military strike
we're mid tier, and we're vigilante with villainous tendencies.
Nothing should warrant that kind of response

>>3036759
Being mediocre at a bunch of things is more interesting to play than trying to solve every single situation according to your specialized niche in which you excel.

>>3036775

And if you don't go too far or get too ambitious, it won't.

what does leveling up undead physiology get us?

>Probability Manipulation 3
dump everything else except
>Disguise Maker
>Power Copying
distribute all remaining points equally between these two

We are master social engineer, or a chameleon

>>3036778
Not necessarily.
I contend that having to creatively solve situations with one powerful tool makes for more substantial gameplay than having a poor tool for every conceivable situation, but having to deal with a 60% chance of failure no matter what you choose to do.
At that point you're just rolling dice.

Since everyone wants Probability Manipulation, I'll be rolling between these. I'm sorry >>3036701 anon.

>>3036998
Oh well. No hard feelings.

>>3036998
>>3036804

Your starting power-set is:

> Elemental Kinesis: Tier 2
> Probability Manipulation: Tier 3
> Disguise Maker: Tier 14
> Power Copying: Tier 14

You are able to manipulate an element of your choice to a limited extent roughly as damaging as a .38 pistol, multiply or divide the odds of something happening by three times, perfectly mimic an individual's accent, appearance, and mannerisms down to their fingerprints and retina with nothing but a photograph to work on, and mimic up to three superpowers you've personally witnessed at a time at 0.75 times their original potency for up to a month, two at their full original potency for two months, or one at 1.25 times its original potency for up to three months.

Against ordinary humans, you are a mediocre combatant with slight luck manipulation, but you are horrifyingly good at disguises, and extremely dangerous if you happen to encounter or align yourself with another super. Not half bad, if I do say so myself. Because it would be unfair to deny you all the chance to weigh in on an extremely important decision, I'm going to need you to vote on the element you're attuned to.

> Choose:

> Fire
> Water
> Lightning
> Air
> Earth
> Metal
> Darkness
> Light
> Explosion
> Sound

I'd prefer that you didn't choose Lightning, since DC quest's protagonist is already an electricity controller, but I'm on-board with anything you decide.

>>3037026
> Light

Since it is tier two, I'm guessing it's probably only good for basic distraction, obscuration, and misdirection.

So pretty much the average anon, huh? Don't mind this, except personality/past. Getting rich is all cool and dandy but I'm missing some deeper motivation.

I'm thinking a shooting in which our dad, mom and sis were killed cause a policeman was too trigger-happy. Whatever the truth, our guy now has a strong attitude against people in formal authority positions (this goes for self-appointed superheroes too). Is this too edgy?

In any case, I imagine the first months of our new-found life spent mostly hedonising.

Name: I don't care
Gender: male
Age: early/mid twenties
Appearance: 6'1", short dark brown hair, light brown eyes, barely tamable messy brown hair
Occupation: student (law), unpaid intern at a law firm (mostly checking for grammar and spelling errors in documents while learning the trade)

Background: Born and raised in the big city in a better neighborhood. We believed in justice and forgiving our former enemies (like son goku), and wanted to help the community by becoming a lawyer. However, we had a somewhat rude awakening to how the world works. At first we thought that maybe we could help from the inside of the system and continued our path as a lawyer, but that illusion fell throughout high school as well. When it came to applying for colleges our grades were good enough and it will pay a lot, so why not become another cog in the machine and use it to our advantage?

When we got our powers we got a little bit of hope back, that we can change the world for the better, but we only liked the idea of being a super hero, but we found that doing actual heroing is equally hard work and even when we try our best we get blamed for everything that goes slightly wrong which made us bitter and even resentful towards some of the heroes who seem to pull it off.

When we stopped a higher level drug sale we figured that there was no reason for us not to simply keep the money while leaving the drugs as evidence.

Your name is Charles Wolf, failed lawyer and unskilled laborer extraordinaire. Twenty-four years old and almost impossible to pick out of a crowd, all you have to show for it is a dingy apartment in downtown Albuquerque and a gig flipping burgers in one of the nastiest McDonald's you've ever set foot in.

It's not like you care, you could work here a hundred years and barely crack assistant manager. Used to be one of the hardest workers in the industry, but having teens with half your experience and a fourth of your work ethic promoted over you puts a damper on that. You've stopped caring, if your supervisors won't notice you either way, there's no reason to put in any more effort than the bare minimum. Which is what you're doing now.

Working the register while your screaming 5'4, 500 pound boss gets in your face and spits all over the front of your uniform. This isn't the first time this has happened, and you know she'll find someone else to screech at in twenty-odd minutes, but it's still irritating. None of the few customers care enough to stare and you're starting to contemplate the benefits of pan-handling when something hits you out of nowhere.

A blinding white light fills every facet of your being and you collapse, instinctively clutching your head in a vain attempt to stop the agonizing, splitting headache. And then, as quick as it came, the light and the pain is gone, and something feels... different.

Your face, your skin, and even your personality seem malleable, you almost feel you could reach out and touch the light from the ceiling, you have a powerful urge to mimic *something* and suddenly, luck isn't something so mysterious.

You feel *stronger* than ever before, and staring at your boss's fivehead, it's like you've opened your eyes for the first time. You start to get up when she kicks you in the ribs and somehow starts screaming even louder.

> "Dafuq you doin' on the flo' shithead? I don' pay you sit on yo' ass, get dafuq up n' get to scrubbin' out 'dem toilets 'fore I get a belt on yo' ass!"

Suddenly, your dead-end shit job doesn't seem to matter, and your seething disdain ignites to an overwhelming urge to take your petty revenge!

Without thinking, your mind reaches out, grips slight chance and twists it to certainty. She goes to kick you again but you sway to the side, her foot goes wide and her blubbery bulk slides on the floor. The foot on the floor slips on a burst ketchup packet, and she goes tumbling, slamming her skull straight into the counter-top with an audible snap. The shouting stops, she goes limp, and your former boss's corpse slumps over.

> +2 XP

You're in shock, and not entirely sure how that happened, or what just happened, but there isn't a shadow of a doubt in your mind that you caused it.

You pull out your flip phone, dial 911, and wait for someone to take you off of hold.

Three minutes later, you hear a click and a bored-sounding woman in her late thirties replies.

> "This is the Albuquerque Police Department, what is your emergency?"

You stutter slightly, you're still reeling.

> "T-this is Charles Wolf, I've j-just been involved in a f-fatal accident."

The boredom in her tone shifts to genuine concern.

> "I'll send an agent. What's your address sir?"

You start to reply when you hear the sound of furious rage and the phone dropping. There's panicked screaming, and what like a sounds like a rod shattering a skull, and gunfire pinging off solid steel before the call goes silent.

They hung up, and you get the sinking feeling in your stomach there won't be any police coming to investigate the manslaughter.

who has the key? Our boss ?
then we take some gloves, and take the keys from his pants. go in the closet and give a "fix" to the tapes.
we also take the cash and maybe two or threeknives.

after that some free food and beverages, and put them all in our backpack ... wait do we a backpack for work ? if not take one.
Did someone hear us calling ?

do we have a car ?

if not we could take for some time the one of our boss.... i fear that terrible accidents are happening in other parts of the city too.

Usher everyone out, lock up, get Deshawn and write down everything that happened excluding our powers. Something along the lines of:

"I was working at McDonald's cashier when my boss started yelling at me for some reason. I don't remember what, as I had been feeling ill for a few days, but couldn't take time off of work. I had a sudden bout of vertigo and fell to the ground, which is when my boss started to batter me by repeatedly kicking me in the ribs. During this, she slipped on something and broke her neck. I immediately called the police to report it and told the operator what happened, when I heard the sounds of metal snapping and gunfire. I am writing this now, as it seems my state of shock is allowing me to function without panicking for the moment, though I am unsure as to how long that will last."

Include the date and time.

let's stay calm and not leave the scene of a... crime?

She's fucking dead, you can't just leave a fucking corpse behind the counter for someone else to find. You've got to get Deshawn, fill him on what went down, and close the store early. Being careful not to touch the boss's corpse any more than you have, you head in the back to see Deshawn expertly flipping patties. He's always been an honest and friendly coworker, he'll understand and help you out.

> "Deshawn, don't panic, but the boss slipped on a ketchup pack and broke her neck."

He turns with a half-smile on his face, flipping patties on muscle memory alone.

> "Mayne, save da jokes for April Foo's day."

You insist.

> "I'm serious, she's fucking dead."

When he sees the look on your face, the smile fades and he raises an eyebrow.

> "Real shit nigga? Dayum, we gon' have to get da customers outta here n' call an ambulance 'fore sum lil' kid sees tha' shit. M'kay Charlie ya handle da phone, n' Imma get dis place locked down, aight?"

You nod, and after taking a few seconds to turn off the grill, he rushes past you and you hear him curse. Meanwhile, you dial the hospital phone number and explain the situation, leaving out the details of the police station call and how you think you were responsible for the killing.

The receptionist believes you and informs you an ambulance will be at the McDonald's in fifteen minutes or less. You head to the front of the store and see it's almost empty, aside from where Deshawn's laid the boss's corpse on the floor and is holding her head in place the way it was when she broke her neck. He nods when he sees you.

> "Aight mayne, I got everybody out n' no-one wanna bitch 'bout it. You call da hospital?"

You nod, and he gives a terse smile.

> "Real shit nigga, but I think they gon' need a hearse fo' her... Boss lady was a real bitch sometimes, but ain't nobody need to go out like that, y'know? Shit, ya call da regional manager? Dey gon' wanna know what happened."

Five minutes later, you're off the phone and greatly relieved. The regional manager understood your circumstances, told you to take a week off to get over it, and offered a two dollar pay raise if you decide to stay.

Soon enough, the ambulance shows up with two paramedics. It takes them less than a minute to diagnose her as stone-dead, and you're still reeling from the disaster, but you did everything you could, and that's what counts.

>>3039938

>>3039938
of we'll quit the job but we should also first treat carefully. who knows what the future holds

>>3039946
You're asking why we should quit our minimum wage job at McDonalds?
You've... never worked in the food service industry. Have you?
The job itself is more than enough reason to quit, you'd only work in it if you have literally nothing else you can do, or if a parental figure forces you to.

In all seriousness though, we probably should not quit immediately, as in right now. Though I suspect that in the near future our prospects will change dramatically, and should that occur, resigning is a no-brainer.

>>3039966

If the restaurant's closed, there's no reason to stay, and besides that, you feel... Excited. When you were on the floor, blinded by that piercing white light, something in you changed for the better. More than anything else, you want to get home, dig deep inside, and see what you can really do.

> "Deshawn, this is all a bit too much for me. I'm going to go home and clear my head."

He nods, and jots something down on a post-it note.

> "Fo' sho' my nigga, Imma bounce. Here's my cell number, ya need to talk, jus' ring me up, aight?"

You fold the note, slide it in your pocket, and say,

> "Thanks man."

Deshawn grins.

> "Anytime Charlie. Peace out."

With that, you part ways and leave the McDonald's in opposite directions. You can't afford a car, but your apartment's ten miles away so you hop on a bike and get riding. The commute feels quieter than usual, but it's an hour past noon and that's to be expected. Luckily you don't run into any trouble, and little over forty minutes, you're in the parking lot.

You're living in a dingy and cramped three room apartment on the fourth floor of an inner city tenement. It's not glamorous and your neighbors are assholes, but it's yours, and opening the door you're happy to be home.

What should our hobby be? Something ironic?
Like restoring and repainting mistreated miniatures that we bought secondhand?
That'd give us access to paints and stuff, which could potentially be used by our Disguise-maker power?

>>3040093
This but we don't just restore minitures, just generally anything that interests us

>>3040031
> How is your apartment furnished, and which hobby has been staving off insanity all these years?


>There is not even a chair and we count sheeps all night and day.


nah i guess a bed and 2/6 other things. for hobby, maybe running.

also there is a limit on this right (since our actual job and the description of the tenement) ?


change to this so we can continue
>>3040093

>>3040107
>>3040112
Sure.

Hey. What do you guys think about making and painting masks or something? Its a better fit thematically with the disguise-maker thing than miniatures, but it is also weirder.
I considered it initially, but decided to chose something more conventional instead.

>>3040124
go for conventional, even if it would be cool to make a mask for ourself.

>>3040093
>>3040107
>>3040112
>>3040124
>>3040134

So your hobby is painting miniatures. I thought you'd have gone for weight-lifting or shit-posting online, but that's fine too. What sort of miniatures do you prefer to dabble in?

>>3040124
>>3040031
+1 for some sort of cosplay or costume-making hobby.

>>3040155
not a great expert, i will probably just follow what he >>3040124 says on this matter.

>>3040155
I don't really have a concrete direction in mind here. So, I'll just throw out some ideas to get us started.

> Clowns/Harlequins/Jesters
> Fantasy Monster/Creatures/Heroes
> Medieval knights/Soldiers
> Tanks/Mechas/Robotic Constructs

>>3040174
what is usually more cheap ?

> Tanks/Mechas/Robotic Constructs

i like the idea of robots, but the other things are fine too.

>>3040183
Probably tanks, the former two options are traditionally more colorful and complex. I don't know much about miniature construction, but I'd imagine that more details equals more work, and by extension a steeper price.
Though as I said I have no expertise regarding this matter, and I'm not sure if this really matters in the grand scheme anyway.

>>3040200
then tanks , 3 or 10 of them in total. And at least one that we are working one, just so we have something more to do at home.


i guess the other decision is historical or sci-fi ?
historical are probably more simple and there is plenty of real photos on them, for help on the work.

>>3040174

I meant, more what brand of models you dabbled in but a broad archetype is fine.

>>3040220
and sci-fi is more creative, probably ?

>>3040222
Oh.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about model brands, or the differences between them

I imagined that we'd pick up the cheapest damaged or poorly painted models secondhand, without regards for type and make, and restore them back to a competent level of quality.
But if I had to choose a type, I'd go with Fantasy or Sci-fi.

>>3040243
should we roll a dice for the options you have made ?

It would be a 1d4 or 1d3 if we want to have less options.

>>3040263
Sure. I'm not married to any idea in particular. However you guys want to handle it is fine with me.

>>3040243

I don't either, beyond /tg/ memes, so I'll probably genericize most of it.

So everyone's on-board with painting miniatures as our hobby?

>>3040435
Yup.

>>3040435
As long as it gets us somewhere interesting

>>3040435
Could we go back to shitposting? I'd rather our guy to participate in Thai basket-weaving forums than paint miniatures.

>>3040031
>How is your apartment furnished
We actually have a pretty generic (that's euphemism for shit) taste (we were studying law after all) so our place looks like a stitch of several posts off /r/malelivingspace.

The inside of your apartment reflects your income, beside the bare essentials, bed, table, chair, bathroom, microwave, and dresser, it's empty. You've been budgeting for years, and while you don't have much to show for it, you hoped it'd eventually be enough to leave for somewhere better, wherever that may be. Some might consider you a cheapskate, but they don't understand that you don't spend money on unnecessary things. For the most part.

Sitting on top your dresser, there's a dozen half-finished miniatures. Something about sitting to paint models for an hour or two after a hard day's work soothes your nerves, and it's the only real luxury you allow yourself. You're not a miniatures hobbyist per se, you don't play any games with them, or keep up with any lore, you just enjoy painting and restoring used miniatures is the cheapest way to do it.

But enough about that, something happened at that McDonald's that the laws of physics say that shouldn't have happened, and you want to know more. Already, you can feel a sort of presence inside of you, it's feels alien but it's a part of you in the deepest way possible. If you think, you can flex it, like a fifth limb, only you sense it can do so much more.

You move to sit on your bed, clench your eyes shut, and focus with everything you have. The presence inside of you tosses and turns, it's not nauseating or unpleasant, but you get the sense it could be if you overdid it. Instinctively, you seize the presence as it shifts, and straining, force it out. Suddenly the lights dim to darkness and there's only a faint, flickering spark floating in the middle of the room. Your jaw drops and you stare for several seconds, stunned, until it fades away.

On a whim, you check your flip-phone for the time. It's half an hour past 2:00, which means you've been sitting here for well-over sixty minutes. All of that time for something so small... That can't be it, you can do more, and now that you understand how to do it, you can do better! Even more, since you have a week to work on it, and at least twice that in canned soup, ramen noodles, sandwich bread, and fridged bologna.

When the spark fades the room's lights flicker back on, but you flick the switch off, grit your teeth, and try to light it up again. This time, it comes easier, the presence- no the force inside of you bends to your will and as you struggle with it, twenty minutes pass. Finally, you manage another spark but this one's a perfectly round sphere, you stare in shock and wonder, then realize that in a way, it's a part of your psyche. You will the orb to move, it levitates to the center of the room, then back to you, then back again. Curious, you release the sphere, and recoil as it explodes in blinding light.

For an instant, it outmatched the sun and you stared straight into it, but you realize you're it didn't blind or disorient you in any way. Perhaps you're immune to your own ability? That seems right, and whatever it is, you feel like you've broken a barrier. You can conjure the sparks at will, and discover, to your glee, that your palms can glow like a flashlight! The flash-bang sphere still takes half a minute to focus, and trying more than one at a time or too many in rapid succession gives you a bit of a headache, but you've found the switch and the light is yours to control.

Deep inside, your presence grows and you feel you can direct its growth, or contain its potential for later.

The light isn't the only thing you can control. No, there's another part of the force, more intense than the light, it's chaotic and ever-changing, and fluctuates in unpredictable ways every passing moment. You remember what happened in the McDonald's, and in a flash of clarity, realize that when you bend the force to your will, random chance... Isn't so random.

> Probability Manipulation upgrades to Tier 4!

There's power in you, near-infinite potential, and it cannot be contained. You instinctively understand that enhancing the force will become more difficult each time, but it's nothing that can't be overcome with training, or killing others like you, and absorbing the shattered pieces of their force into your own.

You check the watch, it's 2:58, and you have the rest of the night ahead of you. Hmm, you could always do some more modelling, or try taking advantage of your chance control at a casino, or... The realization hits you like lightning out of a clear sky, and stunned, you fall to the floor. Holy shit, you have fucking superpowers, and you aren't the only one out there that does.

Relax, this is your first level, later leveling up will take much more effort. Endurance is a superpower, but you don't have it, you'd have to spend 4 Power Points for a roll and hope you hit it, or 10 Power Points to receive a choice of three closely related powers.

The mounting rush of excitement is beyond anything you’ve ever experienced. You have superpowers, and you can’t believe it, so you conjure another light to make sure. The sight of is is exhilarating, vanishing it with a snap of your fingers is energizing, and the knowledge that it finally doesn’t matter whether or not you’re noticed fills you with ecstatic glee! You can’t stay inside on a day like this, you’ve got to get out and move!

It doesn’t take you ten minutes to throw off your uniform and get into your usual outfit, a versatile greyscale hoodie, a pair of cargo pants useful for holding miniatures and materials, and a pair of well-worn sneakers that ran you $20 at a thrift store. Moments later, you’re out the door and on the pavement. The sun is high in the sky and there’s next-to-no traffic, will makes sense, given it’s 3:00 on a Tuesday. You walk until your calves burn and you can’t feel your ankles, but you’ve got an ear-to-ear shit-eating grin and you just don’t care.

You don’t run into anyone, or at least, no muggers or wannabe superheroes. It’s 6:20 by the time you get back home and you’re drenched with sweat. Superpowers or not, you’re not bulletproof, or at least, you think you aren’t, and you don’t want to be out past sundown. You don’t know how many other people have superpowers, or long this has been going on, or hell, even the full extent of your own abilities, but you’re so damned happy you couldn’t care less. You flick the switch to off, collapse on your bed and lay there, marveling at the flickering lights above. Only yesterday, you were a depressed wage slave, a cog in the corporate machine, but now, you have the power to dictate your own destiny!

Disguise-maker is nothing to scoff at.
On top of being a powerful infiltration and stealth ability, appearance mimicry in conjunction with our power mimicry allows us to easily defame enemy superhumans and sow chaos and confusion among the general population.
A formidable set of powers indeed.

>>3043010
>>3043010
Oh, it does say that.
Well, I'd assume that the power can only effects the appearance of objects, not their physical qualities.
For instance, we can make a rock look like a diamond, but at the end of the day it's still just a rock. If you were to build a drill-head from it, it would look like a diamond drill-head, sure, but would perform as though it were made from stone.

You’re not quite in the mood to go for another walk, and beside that, you’re curious. You’re not the only one with superpowers, the rest might not be so low-key, and they might’ve made the news. Pulling the chair to the center of the room, you turn the television the channel 12 and sit inches from the screen. Five minutes of watching a wide-eyed and frantic reporter interview a shivering and terrified policeman beside the Albuquerque police station is enough to answer your questions. No, you aren’t the only super, and yes, some have made the news.

> “Can you describe the suspect?”
> “Y-yeah, he was a b-big guy, easy six foot three, least two-eighty pounds…”
> “And, what did he do?”
> “H-he fuckin’, I can’t, I just fuckin’ can’t.”
> “It’s okay, we’re here for you. Take a deep breath, and tell us what happened.”
> “A’right, so this guy, he’s a real piece’a work, killed some lady for her purse a week ago, he resisted arrest and almost killed an agent, we found illegal firearms on him, and a meth lab in his apartment, the whole nine yards. We’s keepin’ him locked up ‘till court could take him, right? So, earlier today, ‘round noonish, this fucker- Eh…”
> “It’s okay, we saw the video, we understand.”
> “F-fine. I barely believe it myself, but I know what I fuckin’ saw. This bastard, he starts screamin’ about how he’s getting ripped apart by cold steel, so Danny heads over to go check on him, right? The bars on the fuckin’ cell RIP OUTTA THE FUCKIN’ FLOOR and shatter his fuckin’ skull, and this thug steps out, lookin’ like he’s made of steel, laughin’ his ass off, and the bars, they- Fuck, fly fast enough to dent concrete straight through the receptionist’s skull, my partner’s ribcage, and a window.”
> “...”
> “And I pull out my glock, right, and I shoot him center-mass ‘till there’s nothing left to shoot, and he’s just laughin’ his ass off. So I reload, and magdump him, and he didn’t care, i’s like I was shootin’ blanks, and he walks right up to me, spits in my face, shoves me to the floor, and walks right out that door.”
> “That one right there?”
> “Yep, tha’s the one.”
> “And where is he now?”
> “Ma’am, I have no fuckin’ idea, and I don’t think our police department can take him.”
> “T-thank you for your time.”

The screen then shifts to video footage, showing a literal man of steel telekinetically controlled steel bars to massacre three police officers in cold blood, shrug off 20+ rounds of 9mm at point-blank range, and walk out of the station with a shit-eating grin identical to yours. All of this happened barely thirteen miles away, and with a start, you realize he could be anywhere by now. Those innocent men and women beaten to death or torn apart, you don’t know if you’re furious or terrified, but it’s definitely a tense feeling.

> (1/2)

You keep watching, and see four other stories. Thankfully, none of them are as bad as the slaughter at the police station, but government officials are concerned, and top scientists can’t make heads or tails of any of it.

> The US government has put out a $200,000 reward for any superhumans willing to enter a publicly accessible registry, and has tripled funding to law enforcement agencies across the country. So far, only a handful have signed on.
> In Portland, a pudgy super calling himself Plas-Man has declared a war on crime. He had a striking neon-green costume prepared, claims he is inspired by the fictional superman, and is teleporting around the city vaporizing known crack houses.
> In Toronto, a series of devastating earthquakes has destroyed the city hall and caused untold billions in damage. It has been linked to what the media is calling the ‘Super Phenomenon,’ but no-one has any idea who is responsible.
> A horrific accident involving a cruise liner and an iceberg would’ve ended in tragedy, if it weren’t for a super calling herself Valkyrie, who flew to the scene, used super-strength to fly everyone on-board to safety, and if the rumors are to be believed, healed those suffering injuries from the incident.

It's 7:30.

>What do you think about all of this
Charles is by no means a stupid man, he can see the way the wind is going to blow. This situation is going to get out of hand and people are going to panic. The government will be forced to do something about the appearance of superhumans, and Charles very much doubts that whatever solution they come up with will be something that he'd like to be subjected to.
Charles decides to be extremely careful with using his power from now on, so as to avoid drawing undue attention to himself.

Remember this thing was a big deal in X-men? Too bad these kinds of laws are nowadays not only accepted as a norm, but also supported by majority of population.
Also, is it common in US to have a TV even if you are a young single urbanite? Or is this just a convenient way to do some well-paced exposition?

You're a miniatures fag, and they're useful for holding materials.

>Yeah, right.

Exposition.

>>>he had a meth lab therefore he is a violent mentally ill sadist

No, he is a violent sadist because he is a violent sadist, not because he owns a meth lab.

>>Also, is it common in US to have a TV even if you are a young single urbanite? Or is this just a convenient way to do some well-paced exposition?

They are ubiquitous, we'll assume yours is an older, boxy model that came with the apartment.

>>Do we have a favourite outdoor place which is also conveniently in a location from which people can be observed?

Take your pic,

You have three close friends in Albuquerque, and two acquaintances.

> Uncle Mike, a licensed optometrist and workaholic in his mid-fifties. He has a nice suburban house, three grown daughters, and a happy enough relationship. You don't know each other that well, but family's family, and once or twice, he helped you pay rent when money was tight.
> Mitchell, an early twenties waiter at a high-class restaurant you used to do dishes in. You got along well enough, then you were laid off. You'd forgotten about him until you caught him doing laundry, you both realized you shared the same tenement, and soon became fast friends. He's built like a linebacker and a bit heavy on sports, but he's a bro and has your back.
> Cousin Louie, a nearly obese redneck in his early thirties. He doesn't have any kids, or been in a relationship longer than two weeks, but that's understandable, given he's a compulsive hoarder and you're convinced he's on some sort of substance. He's borderline retarded, but knows everything there is to know about firearms and is always trying to get you in the hobby.

> Peter, a long-haired hippie in his mid-forties. His apartment's in the same hall as yours, most of the time his eyes are bloodshot or he's borderline unconscious, and he usually reeks of weed. He's paranoid and doesn't trust most people, but he claims you give off 'good vibes.'
> Dylan, a late teens kid that's into modelling. You met at the local gaming store while you were fishing for cheap miniatures, and hit it off over a historical tournament. He'd be a 40k fan if he had the money for it, and you're skeptical about his home life, but he's friendly enough.

He's the only one crazy (sane?) enough to believe we have superpowers

>>3044088
> He's the only one crazy (sane?) enough to know that we have superpowers
We shouldn't tell anyone that we are a metahuman. Most definitely not a scrambled, old hippy who we are casual acquaintances with. If he is truly a level 100 spiritual arch-sage then I suspect that he'll be able to correctly identify our current superhuman status by reading the changes in our aura.

Correctamundo.

>>3044091
Exactly. Who would believe some unwashed hippy's drug induced delusions about his neighbour having superpowers?

>>3044100
Normally I'd concede to that but, in this setting, literal superpowers have just manifested throughout the world. People may just be freaked out enough to take his ramblings half-seriously.

Today's been a long day and your mind's racing a hundred miles a minute. You need to calm down, kick back, and focus on painting some miniatures. The global shit-show can wait, you've got gray figures and fingers itching for a brush. Fantasy's a bit close to home right now, so you grab a sci-fi figure and get to work. It's methodical and repetitive, nothing like the soulless monotony of the McDonald's, here, the time you take has purpose, and as the color starts to set in the endless, slow strokes soothe your soul.

> +2 XP

You finish a handful and set them on display on your tabletop. For the first time in awhile, you really hit a groove there, and if you wanted to, you could've done the whole set, but then you'd nothing to do later tomorrow. When you lay your head to rest, you feel a confluence of fate and your inner presence pulses. It's not a bad feeling to drift away to, and before you know it, the alarm's going off.

It's 7:30 AM.

Charles wakes to a buzz of tension ebbing up and down his back. There is a sort of pulse to the sensation. As he rises from bed, he notices an underlying franticness in his slow, sleep-numbed motions. By the time he has pulled himself out of his bed, and into his bathroom, the odd feeling has subsided.
Splashing some cold water on his face, Charles decides that he may as well check in with the 24 hour news cycle. Who knows, maybe the rapture happened while he was asleep. It certainly wouldn't be the weirdest thing to have happened to him recently.
