Food of the Gods: 1955 - A Superhero Nation Game

Ugh. Its most probably Invisibility, then ? And does this mean I get one more point end of turn?
You two AP at the end of each turn.
Alright I think I got something.

Hero name: N/A
Real name: Captain Juan Pajota
Sex: M
Age: 41

Bio: During the war Juan Pajota was involved in the Raid at Cabanatuan, an action which took place in the Philippines on 30 January 1945 by US Army Rangers and Filipino guerrillas and resulted in the liberation of more than 500 American prisoners of war from a Japanese POW camp near Cabanatuan. His intimate knowledge of the enemy's activity, the local people and terrain proved to be crucial to the rescue. His instructions to the local villagers to muzzle their dogs to quell barking at passing American troops was timely and prudent. His recommendation that the mission be moved back 24 hours to Lt. Col. Henry A. Mucci due to heavy Japanese activities proved to be a wise move. Another great idea of Capt. Pajota was a flyover of an American plane to divert the attentions of the enemies and distract their attention while the troops are moving. His troops held back the advancing Japanese tanks and reinforcements and prevented them from crossing the Cabu Bridge to engage the rescuers and POWs. After the war his life had largely been quiet, but with the rise of superhumans the Philippine government has asked the Captain to reenlist with the Philippine Army in order to become the nations first superhuman. After his procedure it was found that he had greatly enhanced healing capabilities. It is hoped this new found power will serve this Hero well.*

If you're wondering the picture is a scene from the movie The Great Raid.
Powers & Abilities
Powers of the Body (2)
-Superhuman Ability (1)
**Super Healing (2)


*Ya, most of this is copied from Wikipedia and the rest is rough guesses because there is very little information on him. I'm not entirely sure what his personality would be. I'm trying to find clips from the movie The Great Raid in order to roughly put it down but so far there's been little luck on that front.
By the way everything looks spelled right?

Looks fine.

This is my first time doing anything like this so I am excited!

At the suggestion of @kızıl sultan and in the interest of maintaining the workers' interest against the capitalist menace. My second revised picks are:

Poland
Bulgaria
Romania

Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
Burma (Myanmar)
Pakistan

EDIT: I switched the order from:
Burma
Ceylon
Pakistan

to:

Ceylon
Burma
Pakistan

Is it just me, or is that a Star of David with a ziggy 'S' on his chest inside the flower?

Lol holy shit that's exactly what it looks like.

Do we want to make a discord group for this game?

It's like a big group chat for the game?

This is my first time doing anything like this so I am excited!

Burma (Myanmar)
Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
Pakistan

Those are all very interesting choices, but may I suggest perhaps picking a COMINTERN nation? I think they're quite low on the players (we've got like 15 in NATO and friends)
 
I think there should be some NPC heroes from the Eastern Block just so its not a total curbstomp.
I was under the impression that every country would have a hero, regardless of player status. (Excepting those nations who wouldn't really have a chance to get heroes even if they were PCs.)
It wouldn't make much sense for, say, Paraguay to get a hero before Brazil, or Norway to get one before France, simply due to PC control.

Tiers do correspond to..population, right? Not Economic or academic status?

Also, should I add super healing 1 or increase flight? Or Stregth?

Tiers are based on this:
A combination of population, size, and economy.

Edit: Also, Sailor, you meant @inquisition. Inquisitor is a random user who hasn't been on for almost a year.

NyxNull got the quote that best explains it. I might have rolled it out a bit better, but at this point, water under the bridge, so I'm going to roll with it for the time being.

As for your other question, that depends on how you want the hero to fight. If you want a brawler who can stay in battle a while, go healing. A zippier hero for hit-and-run could use flight. Of course, strength isn't a bad idea either. It's up to you.

You've got North Korea. Tier 4.

Heroes of the Polish People's Republic


Codename: Fission
Real name: Classified
Sex: M
Age:
28
Bio:
Not much is known about Fission. What is known is the rationale for Poland's first superhero. Trembling at the power dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and with little safeguard to protect except for the influence of the U.S.S.R. Poland sought a way to exert their own nuclear might. Thus, Project: C.U.R.I.E. was born. Fission is the end result of a combination of Ambrosia and Poland's rich history of radiation research.
Public persona:
Fission is model of the modern socialist worker. Brave, honest, and hardworking he is dedicated to helping the poor and destitute anyway possible. The hero can often be seen in laboratories with scientists to advance Poland's understanding of nuclear energy for the betterment of all. Recently he has begun to advocate closer ties to African and Asian nations, citing that the struggle of the worker is a global one, not just European.
