FORCE FIELD BELT: (BODY: 7, Force Field:  20, Force Manipulation:  20, Sealed Systems:  16, Bomb:  8)
Force Field may be projected, losing 1 AP for every AP projected.
Force field loses 1 AP for each AP of Force Manipulation used.
Force Manipulation may only create a simply shaped object with Body equal to APs of power with 0 APs of Jodie or divide APs between the AV and EV of a physical attack.
Sealed Systems may only be used within the Force Field.

(Note:  Every d10 rounds, the Force Field belt requires recalibration, which requires one round where Jodie’s only action is to recalibrate the belt.  Failure to recalibrate the belt within 3 rounds will result in the belt exploding (i.e. the Bomb power switched on), destroying the belt.)

    A couple of things:

    * Maybe the forcefield should be more powerful - powerful enough to contain a Superman for a small amount of time.

    * Jodie has her parents as connections: her dad (thanks to Dynell, who provided a formula to him to perfect his folding cup -thus making him a billionnaire- and also gave him the metahuman power of ionization) and her mom (who's now the Mayor of Lawndale).

    * Ms. Li is a connection for Jodie; perhaps like for no other Legionnaire.

    Do you think perhaps Jodie might also possess a touch of super speed? I know she doesn't zip around at warp speed or anything, but that super speed could represent her ability to process information faster and more efficiently like a living supercomputer. Just a thought.

Starry Night

[b]The story so far[/b]:  As the Legion prepares to enter a new phase of existence, and after Elsie makes demands on Mack to known the entire story of the falling out between Tom and the Legionnaires, Julia arrives at Elsie's doorstep with a display of shock and awe to act as dissuasion from pressing the matter.  Meanwhile, Daria, Jane and Quinn check an item off their Legion 'to do' list by showing up at the Young People's Choice Awards. In the background, someone screamed.  It was a member of a rock quartet in heavy rotation on Hits One.  His voice was intelligible yet cut through the party atmosphere like a razor blade. "Why has he been screaming all this time?" Daria said. "I guess he heard his own song," Jane said, smirking.  "That's the advantage of being a telepath.  You can just express your opinions without noise pollution." Daria guided Jane away from the crowd.  "Watch out," Daria warned. "You know," Jane

Writeups: Fran Lawrence

Update:  Richard Lobinske has revealed Fran Lawrence's birth name. The first of the three "hard" writeups, since these are characters that have been to one degree or another out of my creative control. I had to make some hard choices about Fran's use of Shrinking as a ranged power.  I read BG's suggestions but felt they were a little too powerful, so hopefully what I have is a compromise.  Maybe Fran can still keep objects shrunken indefinitely, but the power has to be reapplied every so often. I still don't know what the RV of Salazarium is, so I'm giving it a BODY = 6 for now.  It's a soft, heavy, malleable metal something like lead.  Giving it a BODY >= 6 leads to creep of making it the next Adamantium.  (The Alliance undoubtedly wears Salazarium alloys that have greater RV.) Fran Lawrence's creator, Richard Lobinske, never got back in touch with me.  Therefore, Fran's name is final for now unless he states that it's actually

Profit and Loss

Newest ep:  Elsie and Mack have an unpleasant discussion. (* * *) Angier and Mack were finishing up the 18th hole.  It was what Mack's grandmother used to call "a blessed sunny day".  Even though he was a trained athlete, he was still getting used to the subtleties of golf. "Golf," Angier told him, "is not like football, or baseball, or basketball.  The concept of an 'insurmountable lead' doesn't exist.  You can be four strokes ahead of your nearest opponent, you've got two holes to go, the 17 is a par-four and the wind is at your back.  [i]And then you get the yips.[/i]  Before you know it you've double-bogeyed the hole and your confidence is destroyed.  You go from winner to loser in the blink of an eye." "People think that life is football," Angier said.  "But smart people know that life is golf.  Patient accumulation, loving care spent on each instant, never resting on your laurels." As the cart chugged
