and bright and beautiful and amazing and powerful and confident. Right now, you draw strength
from your audience, comfort from their belief in you, and you can do anything they think you

Backstory
When did you first appear onscreen? Audience
What do you tell people about how you got your powers?
Who, outside of the team, supports your burgeoning star in every way possible? You are a celebrity in the cityalthough being a celebrity doesnt always mean youre liked. By
default, your audience is a limited group of interested fans, and you speak to them through after-
Who, outside of the team, loathes what you represent?
action interviews and infrequent press conferences.
Why do you care about the team?
Why does your audience love you? Mark all that apply.
Once you've finished your backstory, introduce your character to the other players, and Youre just like them Youre a dangerous person, a bad boy
then determine what happened when your team first came together, the relationships Youre noble warrior for justice You're stunning, unique, and beautiful
between you and your teammates, and who has influence over you. You're charming, well-spoken, and smart You're a firebrand, a rabblerouser

When our team first came together Choose two advantages:

We, as a team, attracted media attention within the city, thanks to our efforts. Who are You have a dedicated internet following You have a reality TV show following you
they? Why do they support us? You have a PR agent watching out for you You have a solid sideline doing commercials
You have an endorsement from another hero You're well-established
Relationships
Choose two demands your audience makes on you:
__________________ might wind up being more of a star than me some day. They require constant stimulation. They require perfectionno mistakes.
They require drama. They require major acts of heroism.
__________________ would be a great sidekick. They require novelty and brand new action. They require chemistry with your allies.

Influence
Choose how you see the team: as a means to an end, or as something worthwhile on its
own.
If you see the team as a means to an end, give no one Influence.
If you see the team as something worthwhile, give three teammates Influence.
When you seek help from your audience, roll+Superior. On a hit, someone in your audience can
hook you up. On a 10+, they'll only make a small demand. On a 7-9, their demands are a lot
higher. On a miss, you've made a mistake, and your audience won't help you until you've
redeemed yourself in their eyes.
