The Wisdom of Solomon is a difficult thing to balance as a story-telling medium. I think i'm just going to stick with "Every time Captain Marvel thinks "Boy, i really wish i could do this thing" The Wisdom whispers in his ear and goes "You literally can, here's how."" Which i think is the best way you can balance it without us going into the "Shazam just has a copy of the script so he knows everything that needs to happen." Territory.

@mattmanganon

That's knowledge.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

To no one's surprise, I wasn't exactly keen lol.

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:

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

Superman Hyperion.

@Sep

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.

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.

@Bounce

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

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

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.

@King Kindred

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.

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.

@Bounce

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.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

@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?

@King Kindred

Is that a crucial element to keep?

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

@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?

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

I don't know about my fellow colorblind cohort, @Sep, but I personally can't read Zatanna's @Half Pint, or Ralph's @Taka without highlighting or going to view raw.

Which I have no issue doing if it's too much of a hassle to change the colours but figured it was worth mentioning either way.
