Super-Powered-ness: "Red-Shirt" has the ability to come back from any(?) death... When death occurs a strange gypsy vapor appears somewhere near (within 2-300 yards) his dead body. When returning from death Red Shirt always appears wearing the red "Space Trek" replica shirt that Jamie was wearing when the old gypsy woman cursed him several years ago. In place of his former self, he returns as either man, woman or domesticated animal - randomly... Another side-effect of dying is the gain of a random super power. Jamie, while disliking the means, uses this ability to fight crime with a remedial utility belt.

ACTION UPDATE:

ORIGIN STORY

It was just over a year ago today, hipster Jamie Burger was attending a quite massive '''"Space Trek"''' convention in MEGA CITY. Jamie was decked out in a full red shirt uniform of the classic "Space Trek" ensign/expendable background characters of the series. Such "red shirts" tended to go on the away missions or in some other way be put into deathly peril on a weekly nature. It was a lame costume, Jamie thought, but his 2nd cousin Larry had asked him to play the part while Larry play "the captain" - Jamie had the costume (long story) and so he did...

While wandering the vast convention hall floors Jamie's eye was caught by something that he hadn't seen in years... An original Captain Festus mego action figure, in MINT condition in the original blister pack! As his red uniform cloaked arm reached for the Festus figure another knarled and broken claw-fingered hand snatched in grabbing the top of Jamie's hand, which now held the action figure...

"CRUX AND SHOO, BE AWAY WITH YOU!" an old smoker laiden voice piped up with a screach...

Complications or Character Flags

These complication or flags are things that tell the GM what the PLAYERS are interested in doing with their characters in the game. The advantage here is that the GM can look at these flags and tailor events in the game so folks are getting what they want for their characters. Any Complications on your character sheet are also flags to the GM of things you as a player want your character to confront in the game.
