MASKS: Terrible Adults

In a world where younger superheroes spend more time training than saving the city, your characters
are young adults. Let’s say around 18 to 25.

In the superhero world, you’re still entry-level and making minimum wage. You’re like the interns.
Maybe the more established superheroes can call you when they want coffee, backup, or someone to
test a new gadget. Maybe you even work as an intern when you’re not fighting evil. In short, you’re a
young adult who doesn’t have their shit together. You may be an adult, but you’re sure as hell not a
paragon of the city.

And, if you are an allosexual young adult who doesn’t have their shit together, you’re going to hook up
with a lot of people. Maybe even people on your team. This is what happens mechanically when you do
that.

The Bull: When you have sex with your love or rival, mark potential and give them Influence over you.

The Nova: When you have sex with someone, ask them to promise to kill you if you lose control and
can’t be stopped. If their response makes you feel safer, clear a Condition.

The Outsider: When you have sex with an Earthling, ask yourself if it made you feel more or less like one
of them. Shift one label up and one label down to go with your answer.

The Legacy: When you have sex with someone, ask yourself if they’re the sort of person someone from
your family ‘ought’ to be sleeping with. If the answer is yes, take +1 forward on your next start-of-
session role. If the answer is no, mark potential.

The Protégé: When you have sex with someone, and you feel like it’s a good career move, take +1
forward to rolling the label your Mentor embodies.

The Janus: When you have sex with someone as your superhero identity, take +1 forward to rolling your
masked label. When you have sex as a regular person, without your powers involved or with someone
who knows who you really are, take +1 to Mundane.

ADDITONALLY: if your character is in college, replace the “School” responsibilities list with “College;
campus job, term project, being a RA, studying.” Otherwise, just remove that list.

The Delinquent: When you have sex with someone, ask them what they see in you and add a Team to
the pool.

The Doomed: When you have sex with someone, ask them what it would be like if you had more time to
be together, or if they’ll stay with you when your Doom comes. If their answer makes you feel better,
you can clear a condition, erase a box on your Doom track, or add a team to the pool.

ADDITIONALLY: if you want, change “you’d love to kiss () before your doom comes” in your relationships
to “you’d love to lose your virginity to () before your doom comes.”
The Transformed: When you have sex with someone, ask yourself if doing it made you feel more or less
human. If the answer makes you feel good about yourself, clear a condition. If the answer makes you
feel bad about yourself, mark potential.

The Beacon:

When you have sex with someone, tell them what you think is hot about them and add a team to the
pool. If they have something they think is hot about you, add another team to the pool.

ADDITONALLY: Under “drives” you can change “kiss someone dangerous” to “hook up with someone
dangerous” and “make out with a teammate” to “sleep with a teammate.” You can also add “hook up
with an established superhero you admire,” if you want.

The Reformed: When you have sex with someone, ask them if they think you’ve made up for your past
and give them Influence over you.

The Star: When you have sex with someone, ask yourself if you think they like you for your public
persona, or for you. Shift labels according to what you think they see in you.

The Innocent: When you have sex with someone, ask yourself if this is the type of sexual encounter your
future self would have. If the answer is yes, mark potential and the GM shifts your labels. If the answer is
no, clear a condition and shift your labels.

The Newborn: When you have sex with someone, ask them to fill in or change one of your Lessons for
you.

The Joined: When you have sex with someone who your other self wouldn’t be into, cross off a bond
and mark a distinction.
