Okay now I like it better than Harold. Also fits since this story is inspired by Superman, Goku and Captain America.

Yeah, but the story right now looks heavily inspired by superman, so youâll have to think of some many unique ideas to differ it from uhâŚSuperman.

Right, thatâs my main concern besides coding. I want to make the MC a completely unique character with abilities that youâd normally see in comics or anime.

Sounds really interesting!! I canât wait for the demo
Also it would be nice to have RO thatâs a man instead just a girl. (Or just make player have a chance to choose enjuâs gender) maybe i need tp wait for the updates to say more about ROs

There will be male ROs. I do plan on making the MC gender-choice so you can play as male or female as well.

DID SOMEBODY SAY SUPERHEROES
Ok but seriously, superheroes are like my favorite freaking genre. IâM ALL ABOUT SUPERHEROES.
I had an entire shrine dedicated to Marvel characters when I was in middle school that was slowly supplanted by Deadpool and Star Wars.
I justâŚreally love superheroes.
As @EditorAvila has already mentioned, this is the type of story where you really need to have a preconceived plot before you start hashing out details like stats and whatnot.
If you have the plot already, then it becomes a more simple matter of figuring out the various ways the character can achieve their goal.
Say the plot is as simple as trying to defeat the Lex Luthor expy. Say theyâre trying toâŚ[throws dart] manufacture a dangerous mind control serum but under the guise ofâŚ[spins wheel] a soda?
From there you can start planning possible ways for the MC (and presumably the rest of the team) to defeat him, and then from there youâll get an idea of what kind of stats, mechanics, and story branches youâll need.
It could be as simple as â#use your civilian guise as a news reporter to find evidence of his crimes!â and then the MC does a series of stealth and investigation checks, meaning that youâll have to create those stats.
You could even have instances where you need help investigating with a fellow reporter, and depending on your relationship with them can help or hinder you, maybe they could even be an RO if weâre going Lois Lane on it.
But yeah, with superhero stories in particular, the main plot is the necessary foundation for all following characters, mechanics, and story branches to develop from organically.

@rose-court Somehow I had a feeling that youâd jump on this thread sooner or later lol but on a serious note, I do have the main plot thought of. In fact, itâs kind of the reason why I made this interest check in the first place. Itâs just not gonna go away until I write about it due to my very active imagination but as you said, Iâll definitely write the branching stories to fit in with the main plot and the characters involved while considering the gradual character development. Every good game needs those anyway! I must also admit Iâm liking the idea of possibly romancing a human that isnât part of the team so that will be considered as well. Although, I want to make this a good game for the readers that is interested, I also want to, say, write some intense stuff so I might consider adding death to the story as well to make it seem like no one, not even your MC, could get out of it safely since I donât want necessarily make the MC too OP for the story so he/she will be prone to serious injuries. But as for the stats things, I want to make it based on personality so what if I added âSubtletyâ where if you have it high enough, you can pass the stealth check versus âDirectâ which would mean the MC will be reckless through actions or words?

Subtlety vs. Direct sounds like it can have pretty hilarious applications beyond just stealth checks, I approve!

Raven from Teen Titans can also be considered the rebel/brains of that group, correct? If not, there is also Wolverine from the X-men.

Man right now Iâm thinking about making a scene where the MC and the rebel hero would try to break in somewhere but the MC is too loud due to high Direct stat and the rebel would be like âOh⌠That was real subtleâŚâ in a mocking tone. lol better save that idea for later!

Ok, that sounds like it would be freaking amazing! Anyways, this story definitely sounds like something I could get into. And truth be told, I was thinking of Goku as I read the plot
