@Taka I will say, if you're having trouble with a second character, maybe immediately jumping into a second character isn't the best idea. I have several idea's for a second character (At this point, i think Red Tornado is probably going to be my second, most likely because i don't think anyone else has any idea's for her) but I think it's best to get a few posts in before actually seriously attempting to take on a second. I find that, after a number of posts and once you have the idea of how the character thinks, feels and reacts, eventually, interactions just write themselves.

I just think you'll have an easier time of it by getting the ball rolling on one, then using that inertia to get the second one going, rather than trying to launch 2 at the same time. Who knows, in getting Ghost Rider moving, you may find a story that actually fits a lot better.


Its not that I can't write for two characters. I have before. Its that I couldn't create logical pathways for the ideas I wanted with Black Panther. Trying to create stories that fit the mold like Static Shock, Luke Cage, and to an extent the X-Men is a feat smarter than I. Lol. Before presenting something lackluster, I chose to just bow out of the character for someone else to give it a run. With Winter Soldier, I have ideas and I know how I want to do them. I think I have better basis than with T'Challa. I will be taking my time with Winter Soldier before I publish him. Definitely won't be this weekend.

Sometimes, I too, get afflicted by the "my eyes are bigger than my stomach" curse.

@Half Pint, @Bounce, after some careful thought, I'd like to age Clark up a couple of years. I'm having a lot of trouble writing him as a believable 19 year old and so I'd like to instead age him, and subsequently his supporting cast up. In doing so I'd need to rewrite some portions of my IC posts and a small portion of the sheet. It shouldn't have any far reaching consequences outside of framing my story slightly different with the characters being young professionals instead of university freshmen.

Wanted to run it by you guys first though before making changes. Did you need me to resubmit anything or am I good to adjust as I see fit?

@Lord Wraith Still young enough for Clark and Donald to have played football against each other or do I need to age him up as well so that it still fits?

Is that a crucial element to keep?

Have at it, but you might consider as well taking the approach they did with aging up Jon Kent and use space travel / time dilation as a means of doing a time skip IC.

Yes, no other time Superman has gone off in space have they done this, but Bendis gonna Bendis.

This idea occured to me, but it creates the issue of 'leaving' his supporting cast behind which with say Ryan creates an interesting dynamic, but it doesn't really entice me with the rest of the cast.

I didn't even consider the fact this would be an issue that it would have to be run by the GM Team. I just kind of broadcasted my intent to age up Thomas and left it at that. Huh. Oopsie.

Totally fine with me! I don’t think any resubmission is required just go ahead!

Sorta? It was honestly the only reason I made him that young. It wouldn't really change much for Donald to be older, but would give more legitimacy to his dad wanting him to work instead of just staying home and playing hero and would make Cay'an seem less like a predator for manipulating him with sex.

Maybe I will go space time dilation then, as I'd rather find a way to make Clark and Thor more separate from one another than have you just age up alongside me.

You could still age up Lois and Jimmy regularly so they're around the age of new Clark.

Or, I can't remember from the sheet but if that's the route went just have Lois be already older. Or some McBluffin that Kryptonians mature faster when exposed to element plot.

On an unrelated note I'd like to announce my interest in another character before posting a sheet:

People adding years to their characters will owe the co-GM 1 cookie for every year they add to their sheets. Note, just the co-GM. Snickerdoodles preferred. Sugar cookies acceptable. You can never go wrong with chocolate.

Anyone remitting oatmeal raisin will be ejected from the game and any new applications will be limited to Ryan Reynolds. No, not Green Lantern or Deadpool, just Ryan Reynolds.

Aren't all of Ryan Reynolds' roles just Ryan Reynolds in different costumes?

I mean, I wasn't really looking for 'advice' or 'insight' into the character I'm writing. I have people for that I consult privately, doing so in such a thread generally garners opinions I'd ignore.

I was simply looking to the GMs for procedure.
