I presume you mean Aquaman.

I went back and forth on introducing Namor because I knew it meant I'd have to make a choice regarding Atlantis that could potentially step on the toes of someone wanting to pick up Aquaman. Then I realised that person didn't exist and I did, so not world-building for fear of offending some imaginary person was pretty stupid, especially when I could world-build in such a way as to allow for a future PCed Aquaman to exist alongside Namor.

It being a Year One game I thought the likelihood of someone wanting to play Namor was slim, so better to make Namor the NPCed king of Atlantis at the outset than Aquaman given that Curry is a likelier candidate to be applied for at some point. If I'd made Curry king it would have shut more doors than it was worth, as it were.

And if you didn't mean Aquaman then ... yeah, feel free to ignore all of that.


Yea, I meant Aquaman. Considering how far in the future second characters are, I didn't have any real plans, but I thought of making Namor Aquaman's surly uncle/mentor who helped him escape after a coup against the Royal family. Now, should I ever get to do the story, I can just sub in someone else for Namor.

Reading through the new posts from late last night/early this morning.

@AndyC I like how you explained the drones attacking as the early versions of anti-superhuman contingency plans. Leaves me excited for the eventual rise of the easily superior Sentinels. In the last one of these comic games, I was going to, as the X-Men player and co-GM, slowly introduce the Sentinel designs that would lead into a country-wide arc all players could be involved in. I'm hoping for something like that in the future. There's a lot of potential there.

Also, Toyman needs to learn how a comma works. The scariest part of his message was the lack of punctuation.

I'm not realizing I'm overdue for a Bekka post, but I also need to update the database thing Morden wants all CSs to have now. I think I'll do the latter first.

Hey, I was thinking the odds of someone wanting to play Ghost Rider were slim, so I made a whole bunch of plans for Year Two with the assumption that we'd get secondaries then. And now don't I feel silly.

Thanks! I had initially thought about directly mentioning the Sentinels (and the idea that Irons accepted the military contract so that his relatively small company could grow enough to compete with Stark), but I didn't want to step on toes. Sometimes leaving the dots to be connected later is better than connecting them right away.

Agreed, and I like that that's how you ended up doing it.

If he were, I'd have applied to be him.

I feel like every single time "secondary characters" is mentioned people stare at me. Not in a good way, either.

My vision for Atlantis wasn't actually too different for that. However I planned to have Namor be the one that led the coup after Atlantis under Arthur Curry's family grew too "weak" to defend it from incursions from the surface world.

Arthur's family is all but wiped out but he is stashed away with a lighthouse keeper in the surface world. Namor is a grown-ass man, Arthur as a late teen/early twenty-something who hears the call of the sea and (eventually) attempts to liberate Atlantis and return to the throne.

None of that means anything if someone decides to pick Arthur up tomorrow and take it in a wildly different direction, of course. But Namor as king is established in the IC thread now so they'd have to work around that at the very least.

Until Orm deposes him, of course. Unless Orm is being Underwater Petyr Baelish right now.

Honestly, I think it's still a good thing that we're keeping everyone at one character apiece. Having to split focus and energy between multiple characters usually ends up spelling disaster, especially for players as ADHD as I am. As much as my imagination loves to run off with all these ideas for different characters beyond the one I'm currently playing, I really need to just keep my eyes on the prize.

That you don't have an entire folder of Q memes dissapoints me greatly.
