So cadave mentioned a group of Corporate Heroes (basically prominent company mascots under different but recognizable names, like the Clown, the King, the Colonel, and the Star), and that appears to have become canon - was the original Mr. Clean a part of that? Would they be interested in trying to mentor and recruit the new mantle-bearer, or might they instead sponsor the heir apparent instead? Better yet, they could become divided in their support and you could have Corporate Hero CIVIL WAR. The King vs. the Colonel! Two frightening bearded mascots enter; only one frightening bearded mascot leaves. Anyway, just thinking aloud here. Loving Masks so far!

About 90% through listening to this AP and I love the dynamics of the party. And the character concepts are completely rad! Derby Girl and Mr Clean are very cool concepts that I never would have thought of, Boom Boom and Zer0 are pretty damn unique too. I don't listen to most of the APs because my podcast time is pretty limited but I've recently been thinking of dropping one of my other podcasts in favor of an AP or two. I'm pretty damn sure this one will make that list. Great job fellas and phillies.

If I were playing in this game, this is what my character would be.
Outsider
Real Name: (Unpronounceable in any human language) goes by "Bobby" or is it "Bobbi"
Hero Name : (None as of now)
Look: Shifting gender appreance (He/She looks as the beholder wants him/her to look), Human Body (gun metal blue skin), Silver metallic eyes, Mismatch clothes, no costume (yet)
Abilities: Flight & Toughness (Free). Radical Shapeshifting; Telepathy & Mind Blast
Labels: Danger -1, Freak +2, Savior 0, Superior +2, Mundane 0
Backstory: Where do you come from? A planet that is a part of the Orion Star Assembly. His/Her homeworld (name is unpronounceable) is has a symbiotic relationship with the the planet's natural state and the high technology produced by his/her species.
Why did you come to Earth? Parental units were here as a cultural exchange
Why do you want to stay here (for now at least)? Parental units had to return to homeworld in a hurry (unknown to character there is a coup on the homeworld and parents are a part of the faction in power). They wanted him/her here to learn a new culture (and keep him/her safe). His/her guardian is Mrs. Himmelfarb, widow Jewish grandmother (and government agent).
Why do your people want you to come home? Unknown at this time
Why do you care about the team? 1) They're friendly to him/her. 2) It is a chance to study earthlings up-close.
Relationships:
You’ve been learning about Earth by spending time with Tess. She find fun and interesting things to do.
You have a crush on Zer0 but you keep it under wraps. His positive outlook is infectous, plus the technology on his arm reminds him/her of home.
Outsider Moves: Alien Tech Alien Ways The Best of Them

I dig the concept, man! Especially the gender fluidity. Hope you get the chance to play it in a Masks game. I think once the Happy Jacks crew gets a game started, it's rare that they add new players, but I have no doubt some other folks on the forums are raring to play.

Hoping the powered derby league will make an appearance! Speaking of, do competing superheroes just use their superhero names when they compete, or do they have derby monikers?

Great listen, and while Mr. Clean and his legacy of mascot heroes has me worried, I'm looking forward to this AP! jazzisblues two mistakes that were made that could have major effects on the game. If people have influence over one another it's not really a wash. Both characters still get the benefits of the influence, it even says as much in the move (about gaining a +1 to all rolls, including rejecting the influence of others) And you are not taken out once all conditions are filled, if you ever need to fill another condition after they are filled, then you are taken out.

This is a really awesome thread, I'm really digging what you guys are writing. I never even thought of it but I could see Derby Girl as a darker more rebellious type of Dazzler. (Always liked Dazzler).
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions and ideas. They are VERY much appreciated.
I've played a bunch of Masks, but this is the first time I've run it, and despite knowing the system, I'm still both internalizing it from the standpoint of running it, and all the moving pieces. The thoughts and suggestions are awesome and mean a lot to me.
I'm very glad that Gina, Kimi, CADave, and Jason are having fun and that you guys are enjoying listening.
Cheers,
JiB
