Thanks for bringing this to us, we've got a few follow-up things!
For Gene:
• Could you give us a little more information on what direction Gene is going to be taking with the hospital initiative? Would he just be helping out with the understaffing in New Amsterdam at a single hospital by offering his experience, or would he be actively looking to help out with organization in this regard? Would he be working with the sparse staff?
• Based on what's decided from above, there's definitely an opportunity of including more people in on this to secure the hospitals! There are several different pathways to cover (staffing, supplies, etc.) which might be easier to tackle with more PCs. We know that the doctors in game got a head start in Nicky's post, but let us know where that stands. There's a few angles you could play here.
• Since the Kestrels weren't very public, Gene would definitely be seen more as a Rook. His reputation, even as low key, might not terribly work in his favor. Depending on who he's dealing with, there may be some suspicion there, but they'll know that Gene is experienced. This is definitely an opportunity to improve his reputation.
For Jai:
• If he's going to take his own angle where he's hiding his blue power and affiliation with the Displaced and their other philanthropic projects, how is he going to appeal to this band of hooligans he wants to wrangle? What qualities will he use to not only appeal to them, but also to keep them?
• Groups like this aren't running around leaderless! There'd most likely be a pecking order that's been loosely formed. Jai would most likely need to show that he's a valuable member before he's considered what they'd like to see in a leader. (Though we're open to other alternatives of him seeking leadership here too!)
• On that point! What kind of resources is he offering them to make sure that they stick around? This would be part of how he'd appeal to them as a leader. Can he appeal to them monetarily, or perhaps some access to weapons or personal supplies that they might be interested in? This is where other players may help Jai out in some respect. He'll especially need supplies depending on how he wants this group to function in the greater community.
• What is the expectation that Jai wants to have the group function as? Is it a gang, or does he want to direct it more into community service? You mentioned superhero team-ups: is he going to use this to start some vigilantism? If he's looking to protect people, who exactly would appeal to him to protect in this sense? It would need to appeal to the group at large that he wants to form as well!
As a little note, we're concerned about the longevity of this plot because it doesn't include a wider net of other player characters, and is limited to some NPCs. We want to make sure that you can flesh things out the way you want and also keep things interesting. There are a few opportunities here to work with other characters to get things moving, but feel free to let us know if there's a piece you feel you can connect with other players and characters for!
