Watching sailor moon and cutie honey for female villain ideas.
Also filler if layers arrive staggered and with the other event table earlier I get lots of possible ideas for play. Combining all these together works well. Used to use an adventure design sheet with 5 news items - a random event and personal sub plots and list of villains and story notes. Try to break into at least 3 parts a session. Usually an intro phase with some personal soap, investigation phase then climax phaze with big fifgt. A intro fight good for encounter to start session or have a encounter in mid phase id first more investigative. First fight either a random non plot one or just a skirmish with forces of adventure. Second fight should be a warm up to big event and should end unresolved with villains escaping or explosion or endangering lots of civilians while they escape.
Am discovering a lot of my stuff on this blog can be stolen for superheroes - horror, fantasy, apocalypse, space all usable.
Heroes so far who have earned personal encounters...
Stormwing and Sparrow
Airline owner and her kid brother empowered by aliens with telekinesis and living alien suits when kidnapped in Bass Strait Triangle. Flies about TK grabbing and force bolting in battle, learning to make force fields
1 Problem with airline corporation business
2 Problem with family
3 Sidekick having issues today
4 Problems with secret identity
5 Someone after your money
6 Alien threat menaces you
7 Enemy agents seek your secrets
8 Tech failure such as aircraft problem
9 Aliens send a message
10 Powers behaving strangely today
Corporation and family are fairly fun and aliens are handy. Very SF feel about her and is tied into worldly things. She helps bankroll the whole operation. Ex airforce hero. She is pretty straight except her sidekick is illegally under age.
Possible evil alien or alien agent. Someone who flies and possibly has a sidekick too for sparrow.
Magpie
A middle eastern goddess whose mother in male form is married to her human mom. Has power of matter animation, stores souls inside her and cannot be killed. Has some sword training, wings and some other godly powers. Has a pocket dimension in a mirror she keeps in her country house. Forms armour from scrap and increasingly ramming people in battle. She has a band
1 Problem with band, big break or concert or band members
2 Problem with family home life and divine family
3 Problems with secret identity
4 Mythic visitors
5 Souls storage ability or spirits within behaving peskily
6 Occultists overly interested in
7 Exorcism or haunting uncovered
8 Underworld beings cause problem
9 Vision sent by the gods
10 Powers behaving strangely today
Magpie is fairly bonkers and the supernatural and mythic stuff interesting. Now she has lots of souls has some possibilities. She is very moralistic. The band is a fun angle as well as magical pet talking Ibis, a pet ghost a medling kid sister and a pagan priestess from the ghettos named Kylie.
A supernatural Sibling, a demon, vampire, succubi or sorceress or even musical rivalry could be good angle. Something like Persephone or and Ereshkigal.
Tabloidia
A sleazy trash journo found a strange old camera in a box and it can bond to his chest turning him into tabloidia. He is super strong and agile, and can see through walls and clothes and film everything. Can fly and teleport. Is a bit of a jerk who often stalks his team mates and takes nude pics of them. Has just realized how strong he is now likes to hit people with trucks. Uses his xray view to aim his blows. Works for sleazy crime and super hero paper. Recently has learned to create armour in battle as his kevlar body suit gets trashed lots.
1 Problem with newspaper editor
2 Problem with criminals
3 Vindictive celebrity legal challenge or slander
4 Spot a celebrity scoop at inconvenient moment
5 Moralistic campaigners protest hero or secret ID
6 Authorities seek to restrain or limit or censor
7 A angry superhuman comes after him
8 Strangers interested in the camera or him
9 Strange behavior from the camera
10 Powers behaving strangely today
Tabloidia has lots of good contacts i can play with and has leads from media. His camera is a supernatural artifact that has taken a camera form for him. Who knows what its up to.
The relic could have it's own enemy. He is spider-man like and his personal attacks on villains will earn him contempt. Criminals and even other corrupt heroes could be enemies. A celebrity could get a assassin after him or be a villain in secret. He messed with some teen goths once....
Dr Drake
An alien dragon exiled by his increasingly advanced race who are obsessed with perfection and purity. Has come to earth and joined Australian Paranormal Intelligence Agency and how hunts and monitors heroes to be recruited by the agency. His race recently threaten to destroy earth to save it from old ones. He has a draconic form and telepathy but understates and hides his abilities.
1 Problem with draconian overlords from higher plane
2 Problem with occultist dragon hunters
3 APIO make demands of time or red tape
4 Given new case by the chief
5 Vindictive super being, criminal or conspiracy tries to kill Drake
6 Someone else seeks draconic power
7 Locate mysterious relic or being a possible remnant of draconics
8 Criminal enterprise spotted in path
9 Sense disturbances in cosmos
10 Powers behaving strangely today
Drake has lots of good plot hooks and is a good character to start things with. Alien, supernatural or government investigation all possible. being a spook for secret org has plenty of possibilities. He tries to get new heroes to sigh up with agency and reveal their secret IDs.
Other draconics have been banished and they regard serpent men and reptilians to be degenerate kin. So plenty of evil reptilians or draconians. A straight Chinese wizard who wants to make immortality potions from him could be fun and fits his martial arts nature..
