To Make Your Mark (DC Comics Quest)

Reader mode
I'd suggest either Metropolis or Central City. Both have powerful metahumans which we could copy from, and Central City also has the rogues to learn from. As for family... I don't know. Having a big family gives the best bonuses for us, but I like the narrative of rising out of the inner city as a genius. I think that it depends on how we're doing stats in general, if we get to distribute more points to intelligence or not (since we're a tech hero).
 
I think Janet is the clear winner for the BFF vote, given that our powers come from analyzing and emulating others'. I would imagine we do so by studying their biology - blood, cells, brain, or what-have-you - which would make her biology expertise a great boon to have, in my opinion.

For the starting place, just based on the advantages/drawbacks outright explained in each option, I like Central City the most (stability and quality), followed by Gotham (potential).

As for the family vote, the most appealing to me, narratively speaking, is the farm option, and the bonuses aren't half bad at all. I wouldn't mind the inner city child or the large family ones, either, while the rich kid option is the least interesting to me.

So, for now:
[X] Central City - Home to the Flash and Kid Flash, one of the few good cities in America that hosts a Superhero. Even the rogues gallery has a code of conduct! Though it helps that most crime can be stopped by the Flash before you can even blink. (Basically zero minor crime, and major criminals have a moral code, +5 to all supervillain interactions, increased cost of buying properties but laboratories are easily available, non-corrupt police force makes cooperating with the police easier, +5 to all rolls police interactions, extremely high chance of being defeated in less than a second if performing villainous actions - speedsters are around.)
[X] You grew up on a farm. Not the sort that Superman grew up on, filled with morals and happiness and family closeness. No, you grew up the child of farmers, living on a landowner's property. Whatever you had you worked for, and everything you do, you do with purpose, your entire body filled with a strength of character. (+2 to WILP, +1 to STR, higher chance to get critical hits.)
[X] Janet Klyburn - Niece of the famous Dr. Jenet Klyburn, she possesses a love biology and anything to do with the human body. This also means she knows how to treats scrapes, burns and all manner of minor injuries, as well as how any and all tech interacts with the human body. Not to mention, her aunt runs a branch of STAR Labs - a connection which should help a lot.

STR might not be the best bonus, but I like the willpower boost. This is one of the first quests I'm getting on at the ground floor, so here's hoping more people join!

[X] Julia Pennyworth - Daughter of Alfred Pennyworth, butler to the Wayne Family, Julia is a bit of a wild card. You're not quite sure what she does, but she travels all around the world and gets injured randomly - you think she might be a member of the CIA. She also knows the most random people for every possible need - mostly weapon dealers, but others too. Still, there's a very small list of people she trusts and you're on top of that list, and the same goes backwards.

[x] Star City
[x] You were an inner city child. Surrounded by dozens of people growing up, you were a social butterfly, making friends with anyone and anything. You got to where you were by sweet talking people into helping you out, though this means your own strengths are slightly lacking. (+15 to social rolls, +4 to CHA, -1 to STR, -1 to INT)

Alright, voting is over. I'll have the first chapter up in a little bit.
 
As players, promoting discussion is probably the best way, I'd say.

You could expand on this, for example. Make people excited (or disagree with you) about the kinds of powers we could get.
