IDIOSYNCRATIC ISSUES | Arc 7

"American Nightmare" cover image -- LARGE

In the comic industry, a one-shot is a piece that is created as a pilot comic or stand-alone story. Many creators publish one-shots to test a possible new story, or to express information that would not fit with the story arc of a multiple-issue series, particularly a long-running regular series...

As the world swirls with events concerning the beings called both Survivor and Godlike this story arc focuses on each of our heroes. Devoting an entire issue to each hero in the aftermath of the nightmare they've just faced in Seattle. Much of the Survivor's time has been devoted to larger goals, sacrificing their direction for the greater good - Now it's time to look into the lives of each as they slow in the wake of recent events.
This arc is an experiment in roleplaying to FOCUS full attention on each player character for the next four issues. During each session the focus character's fellow players will aid their story by playing non-player characters and even their own characters when encountered. This is a reflection of who the individual PC is as well as a focus to point their personal direction.
To best accomplish this there are some rules:

  • the other player's goal is to help the spotlight character's story, the real goal is to have fun helping and watching as your fellow player is spotlighted
  • the spotlight character will be asked (privately) prior to the game the areas they would like to explore during their issue
  • events and plot points will continue as normal surrounded by the events the PC wants to focus on
  • the timeline will begin again at the same point for each player character at the beginning of their issue beginning when the team finalizes events in Seattle
  • this is the time to enjoy and invest in personal character goals - for example: Jack might want to focus on finally building his body, Brian might want to get engrained in his new role as Vice President, Mandy might want to reconnect with her family/firehouse, Arthur may want to take time for his old "patrols"
