Re: The Book of Bailey Hoskins (PUBLIC PLAYTESTING)
I don't know anything about the character at all so I can't comment on his specific theme, but you can't regulate how people choose to play their figures. In the format of a game, the tactics are going to be different than the tactics used in a comic book story. The story takes place over days or even weeks, the game takes place in hour or less. So his cowardliness or self preservation instincts have played out over the week leading up to the 'final showdown' that is our game. At that point the sacrifice is made to save his friends, or the world, or whatever reason he uses to justify him blowing up in that one issue of the comics.

Or maybe in our cross over crazy story line, finding himself allied with some different characters leads to different decisions. A new character he meets that wasn't in his limited comic book story arc has a profound impact on him, leading him to decide acting like a suicide bomber is a good idea. Maybe it was a good guy who gave him a heroic pep talk, maybe it was a bad guy who manipulated him into it, maybe he instantly falls in love with a DC character and wants to show him/her just how much he loves him/her? C3G is telling a new story with characters you already know, those characters grow and change as part of that new story.
