conversations.value: Jupiter Falls, New York. 
  
  Population: Several million.
   
  Crime Rate: High. 
  
  For years, your team has been responsible for keeping Jupiter Falls safe. You've put down criminal threats and supervillains alike, you've dispersed the Mob and the Triads. The press calls you a vigilante menace, the cops eye you with careful disdain, but there are a lot of people whose lives you've saved. 
  
  Tonight is the first time in a long time you've felt powerless. 
  
  His name is Sacrament. You met him at the old church, next to the body of a priest and some poor, unfortunate parishioner. He smiled when he told you he was going to kill you all.
  
  The fight lasted almost an hour. He was faster and stronger than anyone you've ever fought. Inhumanly fast, inhumanly strong. Your powers, your training, a lifetime of this and none of it enough. Things broke and splintered. Your pride. Your consciousness. Your bones. And finally, some part of your soul. 
  
  Her name, to the community, was Tendril, but you knew her as Tiana Briargreen. One of the first members of your group, a girl raised in the cold, who believed in the joy and beauty of green and living things. Friend, sister--perhaps even lover. 
  
  Wherever you were, you all heard it. Felt it. Her neck snapped under his fingers and he smiled in the flickering light of the prayer candles, holding her body like a limp ragdoll. Before you could reach him, he knocked the display over, the candles rolling and bouncing along the floor to light everything on fire. 
  
  In the fire and the smoke, he was gone. 
  
  ++++++++++++++++++
  
  This game is going to try and follow a conventional narrative structure and will have a definitive ending.
  
  You are a superhero on a team of 3-4 other superheroes. Street-level powers, no Authority  shenanigans and you've been working with these people for years, so you all have some history. The game picks up 24 hours after your friend, Tendril, is killed and you are hunting for her murderer. 
  
  Most of the team is injured somehow, from the fight with Sacrament--tell me how when you submit your character, please. Also tell me what asset card you'd like for their powers--powers are assets, not strengths.
  
  Feel free to make your own natures, strengths, weaknesses--the suggested ones are just to inspire.
  
  You are the no killing kind of superheroes, for the record.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Face-Off!: You've got two people in your Lair suddenly trying to kill each other. Better put a stop to that and fast. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Planning Time: Where to now? Find a new source of information, try to speak to A.S.P.I.R.E or try to heal up--you've learned so much, but all the pieces aren't yet in place.

conversations.value: Energetic: You're always ready to move. You don't tire easily and you recover quickly from anything that would keep you down.
conversations.from: human

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Fight Crime: You want to put an end to crime--or at least, you want to stomp on criminals. As long as your violence is aimed at evildoers, the public (and your team) will tolerate your destructive impulses.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Versatile: The alien technology fused with your body grants you several useful powers, and you've learned to use them in creative ways even under pressure.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Limited Halflife: The more you push your powers, the more of a drain they are on your system.  Extended use can literally put you into a coma, or worse...
  Plus, you're aging at an incredible rate.  You can't keep this up for long.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Save Yourself: The alien A.I. has become your friend, and you know you need to find another host or a way to return it to its homeworld to save it.
  On top of that, you want to find a way to remain a hero without dying of old age before you hit 30...  
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Android: You're not human or, at least, parts of you aren't. You were made by someone and you require the maintenance inherent therein.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Activist Contacts: You have connections with various activist and protest groups. They can provide you with information and resources, but may affect your public reputation.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Tendril's Memory: What Would Tendril Do?
  
  From her time close to Tendril, Darkshade has learned a great deal about empathy and compassion and doing the right thing.  It doesn't always come naturally... but, Tendril made Darkshade a much better person and she won't possibly let that stop now.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Decisive: Someone has to make the hard decisions. You'll bite the bullet when no one else will or can.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Distraction: You've never coordinated a team by yourself before - there's far too much to take in at once!
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Symbiotic Tech: The nanites were designed to integrate with most sentient creatures, including synthetic constructs.  Luckily, they already know Ann@ well enough to integrate seamlessly.
