> Millenial is the term that is gaining use to talk about people of my generation, people born between 1978 and 1995. I thought it was a great term and decided to use it for a name of a team of young superheroes (I was thinking the superheroes would have all gotten there powers when y2k started)

Since I like to design superhero costumes I would design the look for characters of my choice. I would draw the character and scan them into my computer and e-mail them back. I ofcourse couldn't do them all. The ones I choose will be the members of The Millenials.

Each author would tell stories from there character's point of view, and anyone who didn't get a character on the Millenials can tell stories in the 3rd person, or create a villian. That way we get conflict and copperation.

I've decided to clear a few things up. First off, if you can't e-mail me at jcharneskie@yahoo.com try jcharneskie@elmira.com.
Second, don't give your characters origines. Part of my original concept was that they same event gives all the team members there powers. I'm not sure what it will be yet, but I will adapt it so it makes sense with the powers characters have.
What you should include is:
Motivation: Why does the character use his or her powers for good.
Location: They don't all have to live in the same place, but for writing the story we need to know were the characters live
Powers: What superhuman abilites does he/she have
Skills: What non-superpower abilites does the character have (Some superheroes don't have any powers, like Batman, but since some kind of event is giving people powers I think all the Millenials should, unless the event gave them non-power skills they didn't have before)
Personality: Essential, we need to know how to write the characters
Physical Descriptions: Optional, I'm designing the costumes but will try to follow adivce given by the authors
People they know: Does your character live at home with his/her folk, is the hero married, engaged, what job does he/she have? Supporting cast is important.
Name/CodeName: Need to know who they are now don't we, I may ask for a diffrent codename, I don't want to rip off a preexisting hero if I can avoid it

I hope that clears stuff up. I don't know which characters I'll use yet, and when I decide the art may take awhile (I do have classes and a life ya know) but I will try not to let this pre-production stuff take to long.
