Hey folks. Can you use Masks to play heroes in their early 20’s? I am not at all interested in playing teen heroes but someone out of college trying to make it in the world. Think Supergirl, The Flash, The Arrow etc…

Half of the characters in my game are that age. You lose some of the “adults tell you what to do” punch when you are basically an adult yourself though.
As long as the characters act like teenagers, I don’t think their age really matters.
There is always an adultier adult.
Absolutely! As long as you can draw a line between the heroes and the authority figures in their lives (the adults), then Masks should be a great fit!
Flash has Joe West and Harry Wells. Arrow has Captain Lance. Supergirl has Cat Grant and that government agency. Legends of Tomorrow … ?
Doctor Stein?
True, but he’s not an NPC.
Thanks guys.
Legends of Tomorrow doesn’t really have an authority figure NPC/group of NPCs they listen to. The closest would be the Time Masters, which they don’t really listen to. It and Gotham are the only DC TV shows currently running that don’t have that particular dynamic from what I can tell.
The actual age doesn’t matter as much as the fact that the characters’ self-images are vulnerable to the judgement of others, which is easiest to do with teens but can work with anyone new to the superhero biz.
With a little tweaking, it might even work for a group of old Gold-generation heroes (but not the legendary ones, the obscure ones everyone forgets) coming out of retirement and trying to make their name as a super-team in a world that’s very different from how it was when they were younger.
Sebastian Baker nice. The more I hear about this system the more im liking it.
I would agree with some of the others that it’s not as much about age as it is about heroes coming to terms with their powers and figuring out what kind of heroes they are going to be.
It could shift the focus a bit, but yeah, I think it should work
Level 87 adults think they know everything.
