The only thing I'd suggest at this point, since offensive and Defensive caps are met, is a rank of Accurate on each of your Blast's APs. It'll fit, and you'll be more accurate with those attacks should you chose to use them. Unless being less capable with them is intentional, in which case cheers fam have fun with that.

I have not had any reason to think about it yet. So I dunno. What's your idea?
After a little though I've come up with this. hopefully it fits with your setting.

A djinn/genie is magical creature that draws upon the weaknesses of mortals. Seven deadly sins would be the closest approximation.

Whether or not you get the intent of your wish, or if they screw with it, depends on the djinn/genie.

To stay on Earth, they have to be bound to something. Some choose lamps still, but these days the bindings are much more extravagant.

Again, your setting, so I'm not going to go too far.

Yeah, that'll do. Pretty basic and can be filled in further at need.

Good news, I'm gonna make the IC on Saturday. This does not mean Recruitment is closed at that point. There will be a bit of a prologue so everyone can get introduced to each other. Recruitment will remain open through that time.

Do our characters not know of each other before game?

I mean, if you can wedge it into your backstories, I guess? Maybe you met briefly during the interview stage of hiring? I dunno, talk to the others. But this will be your first day on the job after being hired.

While ages aren't mentioned in the other two accepted characters, I'm assuming they're above 21? Seven did go through a 'pretty freeloader' phase after high school (still does it sometimes when she she's low on cash and has to make rent, but that's what the job is for!) so they might have known her. They might have even suggested NPC Investigations as a place to work :mrgreen:

She does have a reputation for being a lucky person to be around, if that helps.

I thought I'd written it in the bio, but Princess Fedora is 31. Although they may have been running in completely different circles.

I've just written the first post, and there's also a window during each of your basic tours of the NPC Brownstone to have met, however briefly. But again, discuss it among yourselves how you want to do it. They're your PCs, not mine. :thumbup:

Did I have spare points in the Device builds I'm unaware of, or do you mean swapping out the other feats I had for those powers?

Blast 8 (Feat: Accurate)
AP - Dazzle 8 (Visual)
AP - Paralyze 5 (Feat: Reversible, Extras: Range, Alt-Save [Fort])
AP - Stun 5 (Feat: Sedation, Extra: Range)
To be specific, Blast 8 with one Power Feat is 17PP. Visual Dazzle 8 is 16PP, so there's room on that AP for an Accurate if you want one. Paralyze 5 and Stun 5 with one Extra and one Power Feat each are also each 16PP. So you can add an Accurate to each of these as well.

So, there are three owners. Three senior associates. An unknown number of junior associates. And someone named Sofia whose job is unspecified, right?
