Ok, this might be stretching what was originally just a minor joke a bit too much, but maybe it's workable... so I'll run with it and let you say so if I have made it too cheesy. The premise is simply that Roger Stevens was originally a Talent during WWII. During the War he didn't combat in the front lines, though. Instead he contributed to the war effort mostly as a propaganda tool, working in several war films and touring around cheering the troops (under a mask, and with the assumed identity of Corporal Eagle), and maybe working a few missions for the OSS on the side.--
After the War he eventually lost the Willpower contest intrinsic in some way related to the emergence of Wild Talents, and was eventually released from service, abandoning his old costume and identity in the process - his service as such is not known to the public, still being classified. The intelligence services probably tried retaining him, but he preferred a civilan life, where he could instead devote his life to his Passion: Inspiring people. Of course, he still had to make a living, which he did by working as a salesman at first, and eventually, after hooking up on the self-help movement, giving presentations and seminars on the topic around the country, while probably working with the Teevee on a few times. He tends to play down his heroic persona (he has had none, after the War: He dresses in a simple, sharp suit almot all of the time, even in action), believing his real work improving humanity is through his self-help speeches and presentations.
His implication in other historic events after the War I might have to work out as needed - there's too much storyline to do in one sitting (plus, to be honest, I would have to reread all of it:-P) , and it might not all be relevant. He probably was involved in the Fish War in a morale / leadership role and as a willpower battery, if anything (In Nereid, of course.. otherwise his survival would be hard to explain).
As for the NPCs, Kallico sounds like a good candidate for a once customer, now friend or on/off flame ;-)
Any idea how our characters are related to each other yet? Or will we meet in the course of the first session as traditional?
