Last night at Masks we had a special guest: My younger sister, an actual teen in our teen superhero RPG! She played Kid Cyclone, the Legacy, daughter of Professor Hurricane and Lady Hurricane.
Kid Cyclone had a first solo outing as a superhero—cutting a ribbon at the grand aquarium re-opening. The Salvatores had been tasked by her dad with watching out for her. All was fine—until Hurricane family nemesis Rogue Wave appeared, threatening KC’s cousin, Bubble Boy!
Panic (The Delinquent) began putting pieces in motion for a long con on her doppelgänger. Halfpenny (The Protégé) leapt into the fray and bonded with Kid Cyclone. Torque (The Outsider) developed and wielded a new power, turning into fire, so as to fight a Rogue Wave’s backup…
…a horned hunter of the Rime Court! Sonia (The Bull), confronting what the Forge had always meant for her to fight, discovered the iron knuckles built into her arms and embraced being a Soldier of the Forge. (Our first playbook change, from Bull to Soldier.)
Captain Bowmaster (The Beacon) made a choice just as major. After defying and defeating Rogue Wave, who said he didn’t belong in the superhero world, he encountered his mom, Assistant District Attorney Evelyn Loxley—and revealed his secret identity to her!
The team all agreed that Kid Cyclone had upheld her family’s heroic legacy, and her parents agreed! She leveraged their happiness to make a play for a getting a dog. But not just any dog: Thunderbolt, the Lightning Dog!
