Character Sheet
Archetype: Guardian
Powerset: Ice Manipulation
Species: Energoid (Veliken)
Origin: Natural
Calling: Researcher
Level: 4
Description: Ageless, timeless, and deeply unnerving, Old Man Entropy is a figure of mixed hope and fear. Beneath his suit, he is a cosmic swirl, his lopsided face appears like a pair of black holes colliding. The suit he wears resembles a slimmed-down version of an Apollo-era space suit, with white and gold components, and a golden cape. His powers manifest as a dark frost, a technique learned from his observation of the Singraad. He draws on the draining, dark, despairing winter to strike his foes. Then, from that dark winter, he forges an inspiring new spring.

We just wanted to let you know that we will get the rest of the surveys out soon! We are just waiting to get the rest of our Smoke Test responses in so we can confirm that there are no issues with the surveys.

We just wanted to let you know how the process goes, and remind you of our  timeline:

Don’t forget that the voting period for the Character Concept Challenge ends tonight! You can vote down below, and go to this Community Update to read about each character!

We just got the go ahead from Backerkit to send out our Smoke Test for the Backerkit Surveys! This means that 5% of each Backers from each Pledge Level will receive their surveys so that we can test things out and make sure there are no major issues before everyone's survey gets sent!

We will be looking to send the full survey out to everyone in the next few days, after our Smoke Test folks get and fill out their surveys, and let us know if any issues exist!

It's a short and quick update today, so that is all for now, we will be sending out an update next Monday with the release of Primer version 2.2, as well as Playtest Packet #1 and the updated Character Sheets to match with everything needed for Level 6 to 10 Supers!

We just got our Backerkit Pre-Order Store set up, and as of this update it is now open for those of you that missed the campaign, or weren't able to pledge while it was live! This is a super exciting step as it means we can continue to grow the community, and keep working towards our Stretch Goal of $25,000 for the Official Indominant Soundtrack!

Make sure to check out the Pre-Order Store and tell your friends, as once we lock orders before we go to manufacturing, all of the limited edition items (Indominant d20 & Collector's Edition SIC) will no longer be available until our next crowdfunding campaign!

We are getting ready to send out the surveys, and as a part of that process we are performing a smoke test. A smoke test means that 5% of Backers in each Pledge Level/Tier will get their surveys. We please ask that you fill that survey out as soon as possible so we can make sure that there are no issues with the survey, that way we can make sure everyone has the best experience!

After the smoke test is complete we will send out the rest of the surveys! This should take a few days to complete. You can always go back and edit your survey until we lock in orders closer to when we complete the book. We highly recommend that you fill out your survey as soon as you can. In our research and discussions with other Backerkit creators one of the only reasons backers don't receive their pledge items is that they didn't complete their survey and make sure that any remaining payments (like shipping, or extra add-ons) go through.

We just wanted to update you on the status of the first Playtest Packet! We are just going through the final pass on the Level 6 to 10 content, and getting our Comic Editor Packet set up. We are looking to be right on track with getting Playtest Packet #1 in your hands on June 2nd like we planned in our Development Roadmap!

Don't forget, the voting period for the Character Concept Challenge is open until May 30th at 12:00 midnight (Pacific Time)! We have gotten a good amount of votes but we want to keep the vote going strong! You can check out that poll down below on this update, or go directly to our last update with more information on each submission here!

The Character Concept Challenge submission phase has now been closed, and it is time to cast your Vote! Don't forget, the winner will get to have their character canonized into the Super's Information Codex (SIC) and will get their character hand-drawn by our awesome artist Milton Aguiar! The voting period closes on May 30th at Midnight Pacific Time!

You can read below for stories, images, and check out the links for each Character Sheet!

Archetype: Arbiter
Powerset: Gadgetry
Species: Alien (Emergil)
Origin: Science
Calling: Suit
Level: 5
Description: My mid-day break is starting... so I have a few minutes to talk. Middle managers. Only second in the galaxy to Vogon Bureaucrats for unpleasantness and potential evil. The bane of all. Countless lemmings push papers and rearrange deck chairs as the Earth vessel Titanic sinks. I was one. But not anymore. I am excited to share that my recent move to GLU Applied Science Logistics has opened up new opportunities for me. You see, in logistics, an adventuresome Emergil can easily review inventory shipped to and from all GLU/Vandalay import/export consortiums. This information can be input into any number of GLU/IDC compu-terminals, but I prefer my ally CCC-913 the GLU forensic unit to decipher use cases, potential "hot-zones", reduction areas and other contentious manifestations. Evil is out there... However, it's growth is curiously curtailed with my new promotion. Knowledge alone will not squash the bug of badness. I was recently accepted into the GLU Applied Science Logistics Quality Control Assessment cadre. A mouthful for certain. Let's say I am now responsible for field testing. These field tests can take me to difficult areas of the galaxy on a moments notice. I don't even mind filling out the trip/after action reports. My past and present allies appear to enjoy the assistance. Unfortunately, many of my QC field tests are destructive to the inventory, but it's all annotated in my trip reports. I apologize, but Supervisor O'Boyle is a real stickler about promptly ending mid-day breaks. "Heck", I keep telling him, "don't worry, I'll happily pay for extended breaks by working Overtime."

Character Sheet
Archetype: Hunter
Powerset: Psionics
Species: Humanoid (Earthling)
Origin: Natural
Calling: Vigilante
Level: 5
Description: One would not think an unassuming lawyer would be one to take up superheroics, even in a law firm known for defending vigilantes. But such is the case for Joshua Briggs, a man who, like many others, was raised to do the right thing wherever he was able. Among many other things, his study of law taught him also that, sometimes, the law needed assistance. While the use of the mind tends to come naturally to one who passes the Bar Exam, Briggs was one of those who could extend his mind outside of his body. And with help from the man he tailed when he joined the firm, he took up vigilantism himself. However, unlike so many others, he didn't jump into the line of fire. Instead, while he still wore a mask of a sort, he tended to assist from the sideline, preferring to cloud minds rather than directly enter them. The pursuit did not go unnoticed, as news sites and shows picked up stories of a man who seemed to never leave whenever pandemonium broke out. Undeterred, Briggs continues his work, though it gets more difficult to operate discretely as heroes, villains, and news folk are now trying to catch sight of the "assisting hero" known only as... The Bystander.

Description: The Eye of Mammon wears a sleek, black trench coat over a simple, black leather costume with a white insignia subtly reminiscent of the white space around a tie in a tuxedo. His most distinguishing characteristic is, of course, the visor. A cracked, obsidian frame holds the blood-red eye and its reptilian slit pupil at the center. The arrangement of the eye should blind Bruno. But he sees more clearly than ever.

Description: For as long as he could remember, Vincent Leroy always wanted to be a hero. But not for the reasons most wanted to. He wanted to be a hero for fame, fortune and glory. He just needed powers to do so. Luckily for him, on his 18th birthday, he got such powers. These powers gave him flying, super strength, and many more. Now he was a manager. He went to Apex, a company that specializes in superhero management and PR. Happy to just be able to start saving people earning money and reputation, Vince signed on the line and became known as the hero Viceroy! However, after a few years, he got tired of saving cats from trees and stopping a few petty muggings. He wanted more! So he approached the executives at Apex and told them he wanted to fight some bad guys. They said that his numbers in the polls needed to be higher for him to be a solo hero. So he could either join a brand new team they were going to have or quit. Naturally, Vince joined the Sentinels of Protection.
