[ 🌹✨] Superhero Q & A?

That's so cool! But gah, listen, maybe co-author an article with just Kim, and consult Nick every once in a while. Do not let him tank your project.

Titan has always loved to preform and be in the spotlight. And maybe he's used to being in the spotlight because his good looks often put him there? Or how about this--he enjoys pretending he's someone else.

Ngozi

He has made a lot of mistakes? Which is part of his backstory. Other than that, he's a tiny bit vain. Just a smidgen. (Okay, maybe more than a smidgen.)

Ngozi

Also, I kind of want to co-author a journal article with Nick and Kim. My first career (before UX design/before counseling) was as a research scientist in the field of remote sensing (satellites taking images of the earth from orbit). Let them know? Haha.

Titan sounds close to perfect. So what’s his Persian flaw?

Was it Titan's dream to be an actor, or did he just stumble into it because he's supernaturally handsome and charming?

Hos well done is their set up for said podcast? Like are they sat in a secret cave or old wearhouse or like an actually podcast studio?

Technically, Titan is the most dramatic because he's an actor? Kim and Nick might be tied for second because they can both be extra when it comes to food or science.

Ngozi

Nick and Titan meet completely on accident! Once Titan gets to know Nick, he thinks Nick is (a) very smart (b) very easily distracted (c) very awkward and (d) creepily obsessed with NOVA General.

Ngozi

Titan: Well! If you have feelings for someone you should be pretty clear and direct. You know, if not coming right out and telling them, then subtle but direct flirting if you want to be more romantic. Yeah, I dunno. Crushes are kind of fun and you never know what's gonna happen! Nick: PFT. FEelings?! Nick: What? HAH. PfT. Nick: Wh-why? Like talking? Hah. Nick: No one...no one does that.

Ngozi

Please write this comic. Also, who is the most dramatic and whhhyyy

1) Sticking with Superheroes for now. And also the emoji representation of "🌹✨" 2) More angst? But also more shenanigans? The food "podcast" is all goofs, no bummers.

Ngozi

How do Nick and Titan first meet, and what are Titan's first impressions of him? (We already know Nick's.)

how would nick and titan deal with having feelings for *someone*?

No idea if this is still going but: 1) what’s the actual name of the superhero comic gonna be? And 2) will it be more/less/same amount of angst as CP?

Deviated genetics is super rare, and most abilities aren't very remarkable. People in the public know and are mildly interested, in general? It's kind of like--"Oh, my roommate's cousin married a chick with deviated genetics. She could float, sometimes." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...And people assume Titan has deviated genetics, yup.

Ngozi

Hmm, it's such a new/fresh(/random) idea, that I don't have much planned for it at all. But I'd *definitely* like for it to be contained--three volumes?

Ngozi

Can't say much about Titan's family! But Nick's parents were also scientists. Deviated genetics does run in families, but it's pretty rare/somewhat spontaneous.

Ngozi

first off! I think I'm using the weirdo food podcast to help me figure out the characters voices? If I ever get around to making the actual comic, it would be healthy doses of drama and shenanigans. Nick, Kim, and Titan all have their angst. Nick might carry the most angst? But that's just because he's the main character.

Ngozi

That's a hard one! I think they all have a bunch of favorite foods? Nick - anything that will probably kill him Kim - good desserts Titan - any street food someone would sell you out of a shopping cart in the middle of Rio Seco

Ngozi

Of course??? Also, many of the characters are people of color!

Ngozi

Nick: Places we hang out--my warehouse-- Titan: Cool bars in downtown SC Kim: On campus a lot. We just sit in me and Nick's office for hours. Titan: Any one of Silicon City's beautiful beaches! Kim: A lot of bubble tea places and that's my fault. Kim: Oh, and in the Daisy Cruiser. Titan: that's Nick's spaceship. Nick: it's a scramjet propulsed *hovercraft*.

Ngozi

Edit: I am FULLY back on my multi-platform/transmedia/interactive storytelling bullshit.

Ngozi

Nick: It's just giving me a little trouble but I'm pretty close to cracking it! Kim: (looks you right in the eye while shaking her head)

Ngozi

"Oh my God. Okay. Back at MIT, there was this one shop in the basement of the student center that would sell these greasy, horrible, dripping Philly Cheese Steaks and they were like ambrosia. Problem was, they were only ever open maybe 8% of the time you would check, with these month-long periods where no one would work there at all. Anyway, the last time I had one was the day I turned in my thesis and I've never been able to find a sandwich that comes close. I've been unhappy ever since."

Ngozi

(Since we can ask more than one question...) What's the status of the whole deviated genetics thing in society? How common is it, how are superheroes regarded, does the public know that this famous actor is one?

How narrowly defined is the plotline you have planned for superheros? (Compared to OMGCP which had a really strict 4-year structure!)

What can you tell us about Nick and Titan's families? You've mentioned superheroism as "deviated genetics" so I assume it runs in families?

Will the story mostly focus on shenanigans (which I love) or will we be going deep into the central three characters sometimes (which I also love)? On that: who would you think has most angst potential in their characters: Nick, Kim or Titan?

Is Nick's place the main setting? Where else do the characters meet up?

Charissa Calderon

Hey that's TWO questions!! (Just kidding.) Nick and Titan meet on accident, and after Nick is fully aware that Titan is going to star in NOVA General. (Nick gets over hating Titan. Turns out Titan is actually...a really good actor?)

Ngozi

what are the favorite foods of each main character? i ask this while eating freezer dumplings

How does Nick feel about his dissertation? I know I would just...ignore it.

Egg

He's a chef and he has a beard! He's very practical, a little grumpy, and thinks Kim is the smartest and the cutest.

Ngozi

It's about a scientist who is trying to finish a dissertation and the unlikely superhero who helps him do just that. The food podcast happens after they'll all friends and friendly.

Ngozi

What is Rob (Kim's fiance) like??

How do Nick and Titan end up meeting, and when does Nick forgive him for botching his beloved character? (Or does he ever?)

TD Keh

What are the components of Nick’s ideal sandwich?

Ally MacDonald

idk where to send my q but! will there be lgbt characters?

I feel dumb for asking this but what is the plot of superheros?
