I'm going to be running a New Arcadia inspired game of Wild Talents as part of my local game store's "demo weekend" event and I'd like to bounce the character ideas off of some people and ask for assitance with names (hero and real). The theme is a group of unlikely heroes who've acquired their powers resently and in almost every instance, accidentally.
So far I've only got three, I'll need around six but creativity can only be rushed so much. Anyway:
A 2-bit thief who got blessed by Laverna, Roman Goddess of Thieves. Has Power Theme of being the ideal thief, mostly hyperstats and skills with one big power: super theft. Super stealing powers plus attacks with no physical change (steals the enemy's will) and defends (steal the kinetic force of the attack).
An immigrant taxi driver who checks into a hospital to have their appendix removed and wakes up with super spy augmentations due to name confusion. Hyperstats and skills focused on sneaking, spying, and assassinating. Pretty simple really.
The owner of a small business piping sub-contracting construction company who, on an under the table job, cracks open a buried alien canister and has a synthetic symbiote invade his body, removing all of his blood in the process (which it now replaces). No hyper dice at all, everything with human stats and skills and a power mix. Extra tough, regenerates, and super construction powers.
So, thoughts, problems, suggestions? Please?
