[6] Miscellaneous

Name: what's your hero name?

Identity: do you have a public, semi-public, or secret identity?

Alter Ego: what's your real name?

Wealth: if you think back to about 1990 dollars, how much money do you make a year? what is your job or how do you have that wealth? At a guess I'm thinking take today's salary and divide by two.
Motivation: this is important, pick one of...

Upholding the Good: you believe in compassion, justice, truthfulness, and have a resolute faith in society's laws. You don't break laws because you believe that ultimately it is all for the good of society. Superman has this motivation.

Responsibility of Power: with great power comes great responsibility. You will generally uphold laws to set an example for the common people. Green Lantern has this motivation.

Seeking Justice: evil must pay. They can't hide behind laws. Batman has this motivation.

Thrill of Adventure: being a superhero is fun! Bring on the bad guys! You have a strict moral code, but it doesn't necessarily coincide
with the law. Most younger/immature heroes have this motivation.

Unwanted Power: you never asked to be a super hero, but now you're stuck with it (no Normal Human heroes have this motivation). You'd rather give it up and live a normal life, but since you can't you cherish the friends that you do make.


That's it, you now have a character!
