You’re always picking up new gear to keep yourself in the game. Whenever you pick up a new piece of gear, you can write it in as a new ability if this line is empty.

_______________________________

The first time you use each piece of gear to directly engage a threat, unleash your powers, or defend someone, you can roll + Mundane instead of the normal Label.

Straight. Up. Creepin’.

When you scope out a person or place, roll + Mundane. On a 10+, ask two. On a 7-9, ask one.

- what’s my best way in/out?

- what happened here recently?

- what here is worth grabbing?

- who or what here is not what they seem?

- whose place is this?

On a miss, you find yourself in over your head. The GM will tell you why this is a bad spot.

Backstory

• How did you gain your skills?

Practice. Duh. Well, okay, I watched a lot of Parkour videos, did a lot of research, figured out what exercises I needed to do, gave myself a bunch of drugs to boost my muscle mass, and then went out and did them. Which is also how I figured out how to build the gadgets I use-- research and experimentation. You know, just like everybody else does.

• When did you first put on your costume?

Uh, what day is it, again? Monday? It was, uh, last Wednesday. Final test run of the eggs and the mask’s expressions and stuff. I did NOT expect to have to use it for real this fast.

• Who, outside of the team, thinks you shouldn’t be a superhero?

Well, Claypool, for one. He’s got a Tiktok channel where he talks about heroes in the City, and wow, he was NOT impressed by me. And goes on about it. A lot. Asshole.

• Why do you try to be a hero?

Look, in the first place, it’s cool. But also… look. If I stay just me, Kay, nobody doing nothing, what kind of difference am I really going to make? If I do this thing, maybe I can save lives. Maybe I can be someone people look up to. Maybe I can change the world.

• Why do you care about the team?

I mean, how could I not? Have you seen what we’ve been through together?

Drives

Make out with a teammate

Pull off a ridiculous stunt
