Heck, just about any job, particularly those that involve manual labor, would love a superhumanly strong worker, or someone who can start fires or freeze things on a whim...

I do recall a trailer where BaB was using his super strength to help with the post-Rikti invasion cleanup, as was Sister Psyche, (only using telekinesis)...

Coyotedancer Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I've mentioned before that one of my time-travelling Ordus Chronos magi.... My Force Mage, Tessamun... is a footie fan. She'll go on endlessly about the Nerva Novas given half a chance. But that seriously confounds people in the current era, Because the Novas and their league won't even be established until a few decades after the end of the Battalion Wars. 😝 Edited July 28, 2022 by Coyotedancer Taker of screenshots.

Darmian Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 It seems to me, with all the Arenas around, that the primary entertainment in Paragon - and in the Rogue Isles before the Arachnos coup - would be a supers version of WWE. 1 AE SFMA Arcs: The Meteors (Arc id 42079) | Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part One.

I do recall a trailer where BaB was using his super strength to help with the post-Rikti invasion cleanup, as was Sister Psyche, (only using telekinesis)... It's an interesting question, and I feel it may be something worth exploring. Imagine scenarios where we arrive on scene to assist other supers in building Habitat for Humanity housing, or visiting a PTSD ward where supers with mental abilities are coaxing mental trauma patients back to some sort of normalcy. Of course, then a fight breaks out and we're forced to do that voodoo we do so well, but it would at the start at least point out our gentler side. The only thing I can immediately think of is Doc Samson who uses her super strength in archeology work, especially removing rubble in Faultline. There are examples of other non-violent use of super powers, but within the context of a fight. Atlas, for example, is said to have lifted a host of parade goers above a cloud of toxins to rest safely on his shoulders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also fires in Steel Canyon; I might not use superpowers to fight the fires, but these normies sure as heck aren't teleporting between burning buildings. Which reminds me, I find it hilarious that there's all kinds of buildings on fire, all kinds of heroes running around, and there's still thugs stealing purses from people right there. RIGHT THERE.

Long long ago I asked on the forums what the university school colors were. I created a character who was a cheerleader for the lacrosse team (joke being lacrosse teams don't have cheerleaders) and wanted to know what colors to use. With no reply I went with a bluish color & white. A few months later the cheerleader in red & white uniform showed up handing out pamphlets in front of the Steel Canyon university's main building. You're welcome. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
