What is the story behind getting Nw dawn to reecruit candidates when they don't know what it is for
They both have high Rep.
I don't think they'll necessarily know what it's for, just find prospective candidates, and even if they did Miss Naught already has an inkling about it.
He's inspired by John Henry Irons/Steel from DC comics, so that's where his look comes from.
I knew it. His daughter's called Natasha, too.

Psst. Psssssst. Psssssssssst.

Hey.

Hey.


Ellie looks tired and prematurely aged…
Belle is v cute.

Speaking of JH, he's American too, right ? Didn't he mention going to Stanford?

I'm not happy with either of the leading plans. Having Mona go up to give a speech has the issues I outlined, while Opale as our third speaker kind of runs into the issue that it's all heroes from the previous generation, basically.
 
Oh boy did I not understand what she looked like then

I meant more the name gave me the impression of an Amazon or Female knight type body.

One of the men has a hand on her arm and is attempting to pull her away, only to be blocked by a woman in a red and yellow tabard. She wears a musketeer's hat with a red plume and a black mask over her eyes.

That reminds me, is JU/Ellie at risk of another lawsuit from Toei, or does the previous judgement still apply?
It's legally distinct!

Commence recording. Thank you, Rhodes. Oh? You hold a doctorate as well? From where? Roswell? Oh. Respectable! I didn't take for a Horizon native, Rhodes. Dr. Rhodes? Pah, as you like.

Ibis went to Stanford! John Henry went to the Roswell, the same university Nora would eventually go. He was technically born in the States, but his family moved to Horizon at a very young age.
 
THE ADVENTURES OF PINSERVAL THE GREAT AND SIR ALFRED HOGGINGTON — chickenbouillon (canon)
THE ADVENTURES OF PINSERVAL THE GREAT AND SIR ALFRED HOGGINGTON by chickenbouillon

Edgar Pinserval was having a surprisingly good day.

His show was very rudely interrupted by a group of so-called "heroes"." Well he doesn't know why anyone in their sane mind would call them heroes considering the sheer brutality in how they disrupted his show, but this world is filled with some very odd people, to say the least.

Waddles the Pig had been lost in the skirmish, and therefore.. he was forced to meet a new companion! Sir Alfred Hoggington proved to be the perfect conversation partner, if a bit foppish, but a little bit of foppishness would not kill anyone! So he was tolerated.

Currently, they were talking about the finer bits of theater with each other, and if anyone was confused about the man talking to the pig he was holding in his arms, they had enough common sense not to point and stare.

Either way, there would be no sense in letting a bunch of wannabe heroes ruin his day! He and Sir Hoggington had a whole day of fun activities planned ahead, and he'd be damned if he lets his new friend see him in a dour mood!


The park was lovely. But it was moderately stained by the fact that there was a little boy crying about a lost cat. Sir Pinserval, being the brilliant, brilliant being that he was, looked around for a solution. And so he discovered the perfect fix! There was a bully nearby, a thuggish looking little boy who was running around and causing problems for others, generally causing a mess.

Sir Pinserval promptly zapped him with a beam, and when the smoke cleared there was nothing but an adorable little kitty cat. Picking the new cat up by the scruff and handing it over to the boy, Pinserval watched as he leapt in joy!

Truly, his kindness knows no bounds.


The ice cream store was also lovely. So many flavors. Sir Hoggington was a sucker for the chocolate flavor, and therefore that was what they went for. Too bad that he had no money, so he settled for introducing Hoggington to a new friend instead. They might not have received ice cream, but they did find a new friend!

It's a shame that his amazing wizard powers are almost reaching their limit, but between all the magic he expended in the fight earlier, he was quite exhausted and wanted to relax for a bit, so they went to the theater.


Again, he had no money to buy the tickets, so Hoggington received yet another new friend and he finally received the money this time. The theater performance was.. mediocre, and the leading actress's acting left a lot to be desired, still, he had a fun time with his friends.

So they stopped at the park one final time.. and he sat down upon a bench as his new friends surrounded him.

"..Am I doing something wrong?" He asked them. "They interrupted my show. I just wanted to make people smile." He zapped a nearby tree and watched as it melted into a magician's stage in a puff of pink smoke. "I don't get it."

"..Well, at least I have all of you! And a true wizard does not bother with the opinion of his lessers!" He yells out, puffing up again. The pigs sigh in exasperation, or at least they would if they could make any other sound than oinks.

Edgar Pinserval, the greatest wizard who's ever lived.. stares up at the night sky. And for once, he is happy and content.

He hardens his heart, and makes a promise to himself that he shall never stop performing. Never stop doing what he loves. And above all, he shall never deprive the world of the magnificence that is PINSERVAL THE GREAT!!

And so, yet another day ends for the Greatest Wizard Who Has Ever Lived.

Loved it! Canon! +1!

I also have the finished Valiant Gold and Belle Sabreuse, but I'm gonna save them for now!

Just noticed this.
Speaking of which, Valiant Red, White, and Blue has been working tirelessly with the top scientists of Allied Global Logistics, Dominion Security Concerns, and Ọsanyìn Conglomerated Industries to create a new, secure prison for the worst villains in this world! No one will escape the Kaitlyn Meyers-Williams Memorial Detention Facility—a.k.a The Brig!

First off, it's named after Justiciar. Ok, cool.

Also, it's probably a safe bet that Silvio burned an Algernon use (or two, or three) and got closer to the Rebound for this. Yikes.
 
Well then, let us have a wonderful memorial. The city needs it, our heroes need it and Crusade are only welcomed if they aren't going to start shit up... but they will, so they aren't invited.

Time to get complicated. First, I need three d20 REP rolls.
 
Not brave enough to do it, but as a general question, when/how do Audience +1s come in? Does someone have to pre-declare them, or?
I let them come in after the fact. If it's a blind roll, usually I'll say if it would make a difference.

These rolls we're seeing what candidate quality you're getting though, so I'm not gonna allow them here.

Now I need a REP check!
 
Not brave enough to do it, but as a general question, when/how do Audience +1s come in? Does someone have to pre-declare them, or?
They come in after the roll, but iirc you may declare yours to be used by others if you think rolling will take place when you're not around

Edit: not gonna rollhog, someone else plz
