conversations.value: **A Teenage Super-Hero Space Opera Game**
  
  In the 35th Century, humanity has left the planet Earth far behind and stretched out across the galaxy, colonizing most of the known universe and encountering myriad alien species along the way. The human colonies and their alien allies have joined together in the **Galactic Congruity**, a loose republic of five hundred independent worlds.
  
  These worlds are protected by young heroes known as the **Centurions of the Galactic Core** – a virtual legion of super-heroes, each possessing one unique power and dedicated to the common good. Together they work to defend the Congruity from power-mad dictators, space pirates, and monstrous alien beasts.
  
  *CGC is a roleplaying game inspired by the Legion of Super-Heroes comics, and has a Silver Age space-story feel to it. Your character is a new recruit to the Centurions, gifted with unusual powers and saddled with an old-fashioned name. Will you find romance among the stars, or will you make the ultimate sacrifice to save your world?*
  
  **Character Creation**
  
  A character must have the following in her or his (or their) description:
  
  **Hero Name:** Must be of the form --- Lad or --- Boy (male characters), --- Girl or --- Lass (female characters), or --- Kid (any character). Your name should describe or hint at your power.
  
  **Real Name:** It should be something space-y, like a *Star Wars* name.
  
  **Super-Powers:** Based on your Strength card choice.
  
  **Home Planet:** Make up a name for it. Does everyone have your powers, or just you? If just you, how did you get your powers?

conversations.prefix: You Aren't The Boss of Me:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're injured from the crash landing, and that injury may slow you down or impede your actions.

conversations.prefix: Aye Aye, Sir!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Yes, you're in charge. Will you be a good leader or a bad one? Will you rule with an iron fist or a light touch? And will anyone bother to listen to you?

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can toss around some kind of energy blast, as well as absorbing and redirecting that type of energy.
conversations.prefix: Energy Blast:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When you use your super-powers, you can easily become exhausted and need some time to rest before using them again.
conversations.prefix: Exhausting Powers:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Certain types of radiation can interfere with your body's ability to use super-powered energy, causing your powers to short out when exposed to sources of that radiation.
conversations.prefix: Radiation:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are from a planet unlike most of those in the Galactic Congruity, and you breathe a different type of atmosphere. Without your specialized adaptation gear, you won't survive long.
conversations.prefix: Environmental Dependence:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are the smartest person in the room. This may be a result of natural ability or a super-power, but your ability to think your way out of any situation is unparalleled.
conversations.prefix: Brilliant Genius:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got a chip on your shoulder. You're driven to prove that you're the best, but do you really believe in yourself or is it all a front for your insecurity?
conversations.prefix: Something to Prove:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're not at home among so many humans, and their bizarre customs confuse you. Nevertheless, you are here to represent your planet and work alongside these curiously odd young heroes.
conversations.prefix: Easily Confused Alien:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You didn't ask for this. You don't really want to be here, but you're stuck. You tell yourself that you'd really like to be alone, but the truth is that you're usually quite lonely and you don't know how to connect with your teammates.

conversations.prefix: Shapeshifting:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can read thoughts of other sentient beings, and sometimes even influence their actions. You can also project bolts of pure mental force.
conversations.prefix: Telepathy:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're an exemplar of truth, justice, and the Galactic Congruity way. People respect and admire you for your courage and moral clarity. You'd better not let them down.
conversations.prefix: Stalwart Hero:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are the hero of your home planet, and a major celebrity there. In a way, joining the Centurions is almost a step down for you. Don't these people realize what an important person you are?
conversations.prefix: Planetary Champion:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You just joined the Centurions and this is really your first time in the depths of space. Away from your planet, are you a fish out of water or do you quickly adapt to the new challenges facing you?
conversations.prefix: Raw Recruit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You never intended to be a super-hero, let alone join the Centurions, but some serendipitous event -- an explosion, a lab accident, the bite of a radioactive creature -- granted you these super-powers. How will you use them?
conversations.prefix: Accidental Hero:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are an endangered species. There are few (if any) other survivors of your home planet, which was struck by a cataclysmic disaster that all but destroyed it.
conversations.prefix: Last of Your Kind:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can't help it, you're just flirty. It's the way you relate to people best -- a teasing comment, a subtle wink, a lingering glance. You might not follow through on your teasing ways, but the fun is in the game itself.
conversations.prefix: Incorrigible Flirt:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're a hothead, easily angered and prone to lashing out when provoked.
conversations.prefix: Temper, Temper:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your super-powers won't work against something common, be it lead lining or the color purple. What prevents you from using your powers at full effectiveness?
conversations.prefix: Limited Powers:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're looking for love in all the wrong places. Or maybe the right ones. Will you find the girl, boy, or other sentient of your dreams?
conversations.prefix: Teen Romance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got a secret which you can't tell anyone. (Well, except the Narrator.) If it ever got out, you'd be in big trouble -- so you'll go to any length to stop that secret from being revealed.
conversations.prefix: Deep, Dark Secret:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can make yourself grow or shrink in size, from the size of a marble to the height of a building.
conversations.prefix: Size Alteration:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Centurions have a number of complex rules, and you've managed to break many of them. This may be your last chance to show that you really do belong here.
conversations.prefix: Someone's in Trouble:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are still perfecting your super-powers and have problems controlling them in stressful situations. You might accidentally affect your teammates or otherwise endanger your mission.
conversations.prefix: Poor Power Control:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's one Centurion you can't stand. They're always trying to one-up you, and that drives you nuts. What will you do in order to prove you're a better person?
conversations.prefix: Rivalry:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You care about your fellow Centurions -- perhaps too much at times, always wanting the best for them and thinking little of yourself.
conversations.prefix: Nurturing Spirit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Something bad occurred on your last mission. You don't really want to talk about it, but it affected you deeply. How can you go on living your life after what happened?
conversations.prefix: Post-Traumatic Stress:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Someone harmed you and your planet, and you want to make them pay. But your quest for vengeance may bring you into conflict with your fellow Centurions -- will they stand with you, or against you?
conversations.prefix: Out for Revenge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whenever bad things happen, they happen to you. It's nothing you're doing, but circumstances just conspire to make your life challenging.
conversations.prefix: Unlucky:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Nothing can hurt you. Period. Either you're just that tough, or you can turn intangible and walk through walls, or you can project a force field. In any case, you're immune to harm, and you can use this power to protect others as well.
conversations.prefix: Invulnerability:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Using the sensors on the ship, and any of your own powers that might help, determine where the Hegemony's satellites are and avoid them.
conversations.prefix: System Recon:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've been training all your life for this. From an early age you began to master your powers, as well as your other skills.
conversations.prefix: The Chosen One:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You aren't the first person from your planet in the Centurions, and you've their legacy weighing down on you. Will you be as good as they were, or will you be even better?
conversations.prefix: Reputation to Live Up To:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your super-powers let you move around quickly. Perhaps you run really fast, or you can teleport by opening warp gates, or fly through the depths of space.
conversations.prefix: Relocation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If the Centurions were high school, you'd be the class clown. As the self-appointed morale officer, you try to keep your team-mates cheered up even in the darkest times.
conversations.prefix: Life of the Party:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You want to advance in the Centurion and move up in rank. But to do so, you'll have to impress your team-mates and the higher-ups in the Centurion organization. How will you stand out from the crowd?
conversations.prefix: Bucking for a Promotion:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You come from a planet which has lower technology than the rest of the Galactic Congruity, and was admitted as a probationary member. A lot of this high-tech stuff confuses the heck out of you.
conversations.prefix: Primitive Origins:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe your mind wanders, or maybe you hyperfocus on a specific obsession -- either way, it's hard for you to keep up with what's going on around you.
conversations.prefix: Easily Distracted:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got super-powers -- nothing can stop you, right?
  
  *Right?*
conversations.prefix: Overconfidence:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're insatiably curious about everything that can be measured and analyzed. What will catch your interest this time?
conversations.prefix: Scientific Inquiry:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Something's fishy. You're not sure what it is, but something doesn't sit well with you. Has the Centurion hierarchy been infiltrated? Can you trust your orders, or even your team-mates?
conversations.prefix: The Truth is Out There:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Centurion cruiser has multiband sensors that allow it to scan space systems and planets.
  
  You can only play this card when you're in the cruiser.
conversations.prefix: Ship's Sensors:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your powers can prevent others from perceiving you or other objects -- by turning yourself invisible, creating clouds of darkness, or casting illusions into the minds of your enemies.
conversations.prefix: Confound the Senses:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're able to dish out a beating and take one too. This might be due to superhuman strength and toughness, or maybe you're  very agile and trained in the martial arts of fifty planets.
conversations.prefix: Brawler:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Find new and creative ways to use your super-powers to prove that you deserve a spot on the team.
conversations.prefix: Innovative Powers:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've received a communique from your home planet, and whatever it was, it's weighing heavily on you now. Can you keep your mind on this mission when your heart is a thousand light years away?
conversations.prefix: News from Home:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're not shaped like a normal humanoid, unlike most of the rest of the Centurions. This causes any number of problems for you in daily living.
conversations.prefix: Bizarre Physiology:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your super-powers aren't working right. They may not be as reliable as before, or maybe they're changing. Perhaps you're even losing your powers. How can you stay a Centurion if you can't count on your super-powers?
conversations.prefix: Power Complication:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your *galea* is a helmet that generates a breathable atmosphere around your body, allowing you to survive in space. It also grants you limited, mentally-activated flight powers and has a communications array.
conversations.prefix: Centurion's Galea (copy):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: One of many Centurion outposts located throughout the Galactic Congruity, DSO 247 is situated on the edge of known space and is a research and exploration hub.
conversations.prefix: Deep Space Outpost 247:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Scorpula 7 is the seventh planet from the binary stars at the center of the system. Like many planets, Scorpula 7 is essentially a monoclimate world, with most of its surface covered by thick jungle vegetation.
conversations.prefix: Surface of Scorpula 7:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your Centurion cruiser has crashed on the planet, after damage sustained during a space battle. While it does have some autorepair circuits, it will take some work and effort to get the ship spaceworthy again -- and possibly also require extra parts.
conversations.prefix: Repair the Cruiser:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: "RAAR!"
  
  It's big, fast, armored, and dangerous.
conversations.prefix: Big Ugly Alien Beastie:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: "RAAR!"
  
  While it's probably not as strong as the other one, it's fast and has very sharp claws.
conversations.prefix: Slightly Smaller Alien Beastie:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sounds of alien wildlife echo all around you, and it's hard to tell what's harmless and what's dangerous.
conversations.prefix: Secure the Area:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: An unexpectedly turbulent swarm of asteroids are coming toward your ship. They could damage or cripple the systems on the ship -- will you use your *galea* to deflect them from space, or will you rely on the ship's systems to save you?
conversations.prefix: Suddenly, Asteroids!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The ship crashed somewhere on the planet Scorpula 7. You may be able to use the ship's sensors or your own powers to determine the approximate place it fell in the jungle.
conversations.prefix: Locate the Missing Ship:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The lush jungle planet slowly turns below you.
conversations.prefix: Orbiting Scorpula 7:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Armed with pulsed laser cannons and impact torpedoes, these short-range fighters can be deadly in space combat.
  
  Each is manned by one starfighter pilot.
conversations.prefix: Hegemony Starfighter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got the rough coordinates for where you can land -- but maybe you don't want to land right there? Something seems fishy about that area...
conversations.prefix: Any Landing You Can Walk Away From...:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The agents of the Congruity Counter-Espionage Corps are trying to pull rank on you and get you to leave. What will you choose to do? Push them too far and it might come to violence.

conversations.prefix: CCEC's Demands:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your ship has the ability to fix itself gradually, although sometimes it needs a little help figuring out what to do next. You can use your skills or powers to assist with the repairs on the ship.
conversations.prefix: Engage the Auto-Repair Circuits:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Of course you're not going to stay in your ship the whole time and just leave once you get it fixed.
conversations.prefix: Tail the CCEC Agents:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your people are seen by most of the Congruity as savage warmongers unfit not only for membership, but some would say existence. Your role in joining the Centurions is to overcome the not entirely undeserved prejudices towards your people by serving the Congruity as an exemplar of Maradur honor.

conversations.value: The pride of Marad's warriors is a key element of their drive to prove themselves the galaxy's greatest warriors, but it can also hamper their cooperation with outsiders. It is extremely difficult for a Maradur to resist answering any challenge, even those unintended or only perceived to be such.
conversations.prefix: Maradur Pride:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: In the summer of your tenth year, you were deposited by dropship into the Bloodlands of Marad, a nightmarish ecosystem where all life, even the plants, thrives on violence and blood. Naked and alone, armed with only a knife of bone, you survived to claim your first name.
  
  You are Anthrak!
conversations.prefix: Summer of Proving:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were a junior Centurion. You grew up around all the technical gear the Centurions use, the Galea, the ships, everything.  You are very familiar with their tech.
