The what?

Spoiler: More on that arc... (click to show/hide)

How was it filler? It provided much-needed insight on the Travellers, Simurgh, and Noelle...not to mention Cauldron, the big mystery of the Wormverse.

Eh. The writing and subject matter just didn't really appeal to me. I read just enough to get the gist of Trickster being an idiot and doing what the Simurgh wanted him to do. That, and the fact that Oliver's powers were never really explained. I'm glad SOME of the travelers got to go back home, though.

Though for me, the only cauldron bit I saw was the part after where they explained what had happened in the NUmber Man's interlude.

A few things you missed:

1. Smiurgh is subtle. Krouse didn't even notice its influence.
1a. Chances are, the disunity of the Travelers was planned. You know a major cause of the disunity? That's right. Cody distrusting Krouse because of the Simurgh's influence! Besides, if you were affected by the Simurgh, what would you do?

2. Olliver's powers were, in fact, mentioned.

3. They're keeping the Case-53s locked up, plus it helps one understand their formulae, and it's been a while so I don't remember everything but there is other stuff.

4. Plenty of stuff is explained or foreshadowed, or at the least exposited. Again, been a while, and it's pretty late...

I consider it to be mostly filler due to the fact that it could have been summed up with one or two chapters and some exposition, not an entire arc.  I still enjoyed it.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, it could have, but they would have been crowded with the major stuff, barren of the neat little details, and overall not as rich.

Anyways. First draft of the PCs' sheets complete. Please provide criticism on them.
I adjusted some of the aptitudes and weaknesses based on the relative utility, then I gave a +1 to everyone. If you think I screwed up somewhere, or that one character seems notably more potent than another, inform me.

Most importantly, could you give me an idea of what your characters' possessions should be?

[RangerCado]

for a first draft, seems pretty solid to me.

*blinks at Zion entry.*

Huh. I thought we were in canon?

Or maybe this is an AU where the third entity killed Scion instead of his mate.

He did spoil it...

And dammit, that was my idea. Now I need a new one...

[RangerCado]

He edited in the spoiler after the fact. 

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh.

...

*also shoots derm for incompetence*

[Dermonster]

That wasn't incompetence, I just don't actually care.

In fact, the act of joining an adventure based off a fiction series you haven't finished yet I find a little absurd. Of course you're going to get spoiled to hell and back what did you expect.

[RangerCado]

I'm reading as fast as I can while still doing my usual thing, and it looked interesting

[GreatWyrmGold]

Part of the reason we set it in an alternate universe was to avoid spoilers, derm!

Anyways, would anyone who is connected to the PRT or another important parahuman organization please remind me along with any other critiques or whatever?

[Dermonster]

Is it in an alternate universe? Last I remember we voted for scenario 2.

Also I work with the Protectorate/PRT.
