Questions

How is Your Hero a Badass?

What is it about the Hero defies explanation. Do they just keep coming no matter what kind of beating they took or do they have a simply uncanny situational awareness? What is it about the Hero that defines, not in what situation they is a badass, but how, in that situation, they are a badass.

Many people are good in a fight or debate, what we want to know is how your Hero is good. What do the Hero’s opponents ascribe their frustration to?

What Does Your Hero Need to Accomplish?

What is your Hero’s goal? What are they driven to do? Again interesting goals make fun Heroes. This can be a long term goal or short term goal. If it is short term, make sure it leads to the next goal or your Hero may lose the spotlight.

What Just Happened?

Something just happened to knock over your Hero’s comfortable ant hill, what was it? This should be something that the Hero doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring. It doesn’t have to be explained or something that is tied deeply into the Hero it just has to be something to start the game off with a banger.
