To clarify:
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the kind of storylines we're doing right now: where the characters are basically each on their own and are supposed to fight each other or something.
I'd much prefer to establish Monkey's Paw as part of the group and play around with the group dynamics. After all, we haven't even SEEN how the character interacts with the others, since his "joining" the team was all written in one dialogue-free post!!! That's incredibly irritating. I'd like to have had a chance to see that "first meeting" between my character and all of yours. Yet it didn't happen, and now we're all stuck in the future with our memories erased. What's up with that?
What's wrong with a few low-key adventures that don't necessarily involve fighting super-villains at all! Why not a good, old-fashioned story about a bunch of guys out on the town, who have to meet each other at a Chinese restaurant, but are each having trouble getting there?
Oh, wait, I've been watching too much Seinfeld.
Seriously, though: I created a character that is made to INTERACT with others in a humourous way, not one who is introspective at all. He's also not a fighter in any respect and isn't built like one. He's just got this little ol' ability to influence luck for good or ill. And he's got this ghost of a brilliant scientist constantly hanging around him, kinda like Firestorm & Prof. Stein but more dysfunctional.
I will be sitting this story out. Call me back when it gets normal again.
