Show
  • Stage-fighting: When you directly engage a threat with an audience watching, mark a condition to roll + Superior instead of Danger.

  • Time for the show: When you put on a flamboyant display of your powers, roll + Superior.
    On a 7-9, name one NPC present.
    On a 10+, name two NPCs present.
    The named NPCs must either volunteer help or information, express admiration, or ask for your help, GM’s choice.
    On a miss, your display catches someone watching in the wrong way.

  • The gossip mags: When you tap into the gossip and rumor of the celebrity industry for information on an important city figure, roll + Superior. On a hit, you can ask the GM questions. On a 10+, ask three. On a 7-9, ask one:
    - What are they up to?
    - What or who do they most care about?
    - What allies do they have? Enemies?
    - Where and when can I find them?
    - How could I make them vulnerable to me?
    On a miss, ask one anyway, but they hear about your interest in them.
  • Suck it, Domitian: When you stand strong while dramatically under fire, roll + Savior instead of + Danger to directly engage a threat.


Having won clear and apparently without being detected, JigaWatt slowed his panicked flight to something that would be less likely to get him hurt in a moment of inattention.

Privately, he is more than willing to admit he’s scared spitless. Sure, getting out and pitting his capabilities against others in the defense of those who can’t defend themselves, it’s nervous work and a rush all at the same time.

Being alone, behind enemy lines, and in danger of being sniffed out by someone who can mess around in your head? That’s a whole lot of something else, and he wonders for a moment how the others have the courage to wander around on their own doing these things. The price of failure....

Well, that just goes to show that the others are probably right when it comes to him and the heroing business. Some people are heroes who stand larger than life and do the right thing; some are just good at drawing attention, whether it’s a good idea or not.

He’s continued to fly as his thoughts run around in circles, and he realizes that he’s subconsciously heading somewhere in particular as he recognizes landmarks below. Dropping into a banking turn, he descends into the midst of the massive sprawling acres of Ralph’s Wreckers.

Taking up an entire block in the industrial quarter, Ralph’s has been a mainstay of the city for decades now, and the strata of junked cars that are crushed and stacked give mute testimony to the changes in automotive design over the years. You could likely murder someone in the depths of the lot and nobody would hear a thing.

This is where Lucan had first come to experiment with his powers when they had been bestowed upon him; relative privacy, tons of stuff to practice on and very little that wasn't wrecked already that he didn't have to worry about wrecking a bit more. It isn't a safe space, per se, but it's a familiar one and one in which he'd gotten a handle on some freak-outish moments while figuring out just what the heck had happened to him.

Apparently his subconscious decided this was a good place and time for another such.

Landing more abruptly than usual, he stumbles his dismount and catches himself on the side of an old early '80s Crown Victoria that is half lost to rust by this point. He takes a moment to check if his camera is off – it is, he must have done that at some point during his flight, although he doesn't recall actually doing so – and pulls it from his head entirely. For just a moment here, he needs to be Lucan, not megastar JigaWatt. JigaWatt takes chances that puts him in danger of getting caught, hurt, killed, or potentially worse.

Lucan just has to worry about remembering his chores before facing maternal displeasure.
