The Star (Adult)

The public hero. The Star has a brand. They have a press agent. They have lines of action figures. The Star is who the public thinks all heroes are, and the cost of that visibility is that the team and the city both watch them in real time, all the time. The Star burns out by starting to believe their own press.

Identity questions:

What is the public moment that made you a star?
What do the cameras keep failing to see about you?
What part of your story do you keep quiet, and why?

Starting label biases: Danger +1, Freak 0, Savior +1, Superior +2, Mundane -1

Starting moves (pick 3, plus required): Press Hound, Camera Loves Me, Brand Power, Off The Record, Hometown Hero
