Can we destroy the HG trio’s confidence? Individually? As a team? Can we destroy their relationship to each other without killing them? Building off the ‘what do the ROs find attractive in a partner’ what about Mortum? Can we astral project and sleep in our ROs minds? Or have a symbiotic relationship with them? If it’s possible, will it also be possible to share our telepathy with them? What do the HG trio like to eat? Do all telepaths need carbs for their powers? Or can their ‘fuel’ vary? Does the need for their fuel, in conjunction with their powers, give them any cravings for the foods that supply it? How would Jake feel about a Sidestep that regularly defeats him in battle when he challenges them, especially if his reputation started taking hits? Would Nocturne and HG tell him to back off, since Step isn’t instigating the fights? In addition to the above, how would he feel about a Step that doesn’t really want to fight him because of how one-sided the battles are, and just quietly finds him embarrassing? Doesn’t Mitchell supply the files on heroes/villains? Wouldn’t HG know for sure that Step is a telepath? Would Step’s telepathy be considered ‘toxic’ to other psychics if they tried interacting with it? Did Blaze ever apologise to Locus for lashing out at her in the Angles story? Which Marshal was he thinking of back then? Does Argent ever get lonely, considering her select few friends don’t know some crucial truths about her, compounded with her separation from her family? Given the option, would the ROs be interested in witnessing Step’s life throughout the years firsthand through shared memories? ( Like a pseudo-movie/biography/etc.) How would they feel about the idea, provided that there’s a disclaimer for particularly disturbing experiences in Step’s life?

I have so many Ortega and Chargestep related questions lol Thank you for holding these Q&As btw: - Was Sidestep the first telepath to work with The Rangers (pre-HB ofc) or were there others before them? - Ortega was obviously furious at whatever accusations Vernon was throwing toward Sidestep but did that ever gnaw at them? Have they ever thought that maaaybe there was some truth to them and they weren’t baseless? Or did they just absolutely not believe any of those claims? - Did Ortega ever forget what Sidestep looked like some years after HB? You know how after not seeing someone for some time, their features get blurred in your mind and you don’t clearly remember their face. Did that happen to Ortega or did they constantly look at the rare pic(s) they have of Sidestep so it wouldn’t happen? But if it did happen, how did they deal with it? - After i did a playthrough where i kept things friendly with Ortega, i noticed they’re “a lot” more open with a friend Step compared to a romanced one. They’re not afraid to show them how worried they are, to call them out on (some of) their lies and just generally open up more.Why is that? - If you had a thing with Ortega pre-HB and you continue romancing them in the books too, are the other Rangers surprised to see that Ortega and Sidestep kind of rekindled their relationship after such a tragic event and especially a very long time? What do they think of it? Particularly Chen, since he knew them the longest? - Is Ortega and Sidestep’s ship name in-world still Chargestep? - When did Ortega realize they were in love with Sidestep? Was it like a sudden revelation after some event/outing/interaction? Or more of a gradual realization?

Nugget

Maybe alpha spoiler: Does HG powers work through clothes?

Retribution Questions: At dinner with Herald, Step senses a microquake- the table rattling wasn't really a microquake was it? At the art exhibit, the paintings made Step uneasy & Herald remarks on the color orange being 'toxic'. Does Step recognize the painter's work in anyway? Or is this an Ace reaction?

All Blue

If Sidestep gained the power to mimic appearances and voices, especially perfect ones of the Rangers, how would the team react? How would Locus react upon realising that Sidestep is *nowhere near as weak* as they said they are, and the Rangers are in the dark about it? Especially a Sidestep that lied about losing their powers? How would she react if Step outclasses her as a telepath in every way? Would she consider becoming their student if they were relatively wholesome as a villain? Imagine this scenario… how would the Rangers + the HG trio + Mortum react to a Sidestep that’s disturbingly good at making accurate guesses and evaluations about them and their past, if their telepathy was briefly lost? What does Mortum think of child experimentation? Would they endorse torture if it yielded promising results in experiments? Why doesn’t Jake like horror? How does HG treat the LDPD, knowing they killed two of their siblings? Disregarding their current popularity as the Rangers and the subsequent recognition that comes with it… how would the Rangers fare at being spies? Does Hollow Ground know how to detect telepathic manipulations in their mind? Or are telepaths too rare for them to develop that sort of defense? What sort of role to HG’s organisation would Mia have played if she was recommended? Would she have accepted it, given that HG didn’t thread her? How would the ROs react to the truth between Step and the Puppet? Would Chen ever ask Sidestep about what Spoon says/has said? Would Ortega be the same when it comes to the animals on Elena’s ranch?

Bunny

The poly routes sounds sweet but I live for drama. Will it be possible to get the ROs to fight over Sidestep?

murkdatthing

so we know how tía elena feels/felt about sides will be determines in game. what about her relationship with the pre hb rangers? :)

Bunny

How much say do Ortega and Chen get in upgrades to their mods and gear? What were the Guardians doing before they were on the team? Did any of them ever try to be Rangers?

Waffles47

How does Jake feel about Sidestep that beats them up while robbing the auction? How do the HG trio feel about how similar Step and HG look? Nocturne seems to be a bit uneasy in the epilogue. HG seems taken aback at first but not put off by it. Since Step can body hop does that make them have the potential to be immortal?

QuerulousCat

Is there something that Step finds unexplainably soothing? Like how babies are with rocking and their parents? Or some people with certain places? How about Ace?

murkdatthing

you said before that it's a theory that a boosted person's surroundings/what is being done to them influences what type of power they get. if it is not a spoiler, what was sidestep put through?

Katie

Just to clarify, how many siblings did Hollow Ground have? I think some older posts mentioned both 2 and 3.

Waffles47

We know how Ortega handled it but, How would the other ROs react if they thought HG and Step were related?

Juan

Does Ortega have Sidestep's Gun? If so would they give it back if Sidestep asked?

Juan

How strong does Ortega think Sidestep is in the current day?

Juan

The PuppetStep is more Action Survivor to Sidestep's main body Action Hero(Villain). Is it going to be possible to take a few levels in Badass for Puppetstep or is this going to remain the case?

All Blue

Does whoever possesses the puppet in the end change, if you aren’t the one who’s stuck in it? Does the Farm ever try to make Re-Genes mixed in with other species? What’s the biggest + smallest Re-Gene *ever* recorded? What did Ortega think of Step supposedly defecting from HG’s ‘influence’ and becoming a hero + defying them? Sad that they have to go against family? Worry? Admiration? Would they have killed HG if they knew Step loved them? Or would they let Step kill them- if not, at least have some time alone with HG before they’re sentenced to death? How did Daniel’s family acquire their wealth and prestige? What sort of business were they in? (Considering their aversion to Danny getting into art, I’m guessing it’s probably not anything art-related?) How much of each of the Rangers’ past is known to the team? What do they know of each other? Did Hood work with/for HG? Did they ever have a more personal association with each other that isn’t just rivals/enemies? (E.g. Friends?)

Bunny

Something I've been wondering is Why does Sidestep concern themself to be 30? Do they consider themself to be born as a teenager? If its not too much of a spoiler how old is Sidestep really?

LIlith

is there in universe trading cards for heroes / villains / vigilantes? did sidestep live anywhere during their hero days, were they homeless, or will it be a player choice? did you write the other side of the conversation ortega has on the phone with lady argent in the diner about letting sidestep go into her head?

Achilleanwizard

Will we get a chance to give Chen, Argent, and/or Dr. Mortum nicknames in the future? Or do they not like being called pet names? Actually, does Dr Mortum even enjoy calling the Puppet ma chérie/mon chéri? Or is that just them trying to keep up their polite french persona? Can you inject the hero drug into any living thing? Are there boosted plants out there? Boosted mushrooms? On that note, we know Sidestep can kinda communicate with (or at least listen to the thoughts of) animals; Can they/would they ever be able to do the same with plants? Or is their “language” just too different to comprehend? You mentioned in another Q&A that Dr Mortum has a side project to make a lab-compatible roomba for cleaning purposes, but did they ever add anything extra to it? Laser beams? A freeze ray? Perhaps a knife duct taped on top? What kinds of things do people buy/commission from Dr Mortum? Is it mostly armor and weapons, or are there other things they specialize in? Have they ever made things for vigilantes? Or have their customers always been villains? Did Vitruvian have any mods and/or take the hero drug? Or was he just a ‘normal’ human? Did his armor compliment Dr Mortum’s at all, or did they have totally different villain aesthetics? Wait actually, did they even go into the field together at any point? Or did they only work together in the lab?

Molly

were there any standout missions/encounters that sidestep and ashfall did together? can we get some more insight on what their relationship was like? what’s ashfall’s motivation for being a hero? will we get to see the conversation between the rangers when they are discussing step's plan of escape? will we be seeing more themmy memories in book 3?

Ludvig Lindström

Will it be possible to attempt to seize control over the criminal underworld and steal Hollow Ground's position as top dog? Could we fan the flames between HG and Lord Ember while building our own strength? Maybe infiltrate their organizations with our own people or recruit some turncoats? Los Diablos is too small for more than one ambitious Mastermind... Or conversely, can we instead attempt to coexist peacefully while pursuing our own agenda? Perhaps even become genuinely amicable with HG and their inner circle (I.e. Jake, Nocturne + others)?

Bunny

Does LD have a Pride Parade? Would any of the ROs go if it did?

All Blue

What would the Rangers have thought about Daniel getting involved with Re-Gene advocacy? Would they have suspected Sidestep to be one if they hadn’t already because of him? What did Mortum think of Sentinel? Can Re-Genes be ‘charged’ with electricity? If they can, what’s the effects of it? Would an NB!Ortega have a similar relationship to their father as a Julia one, since he would’ve been unsure with how to connect with them? What types of jealous are the ROs when it comes to a Sidestep with lots of admirers who want to make a move on them? What do the ROs wish for/from a revealed Step the most if they were on good/neutral terms with them? Would the aforementioned EMP blast have killed Sidestep/Re-Genes if they were caught in its blast radius? Ortega seems to harbour a lot of guilt for the call they made in HB, and wishes they could’ve done things differently… how would they react to a Tactician!Step admitting they would’ve made the same call if they were Marshal, and never blamed Ortega for what happened? Would they feel better about their decision? Or would the guilt still remain? How would the ROs take a Sidestep that’s becoming more and more of a paranoid, mistrusting shut-in?

All Blue

How did you first conceive and write the Rangers? How long did it take for them to become a character you felt satisfied with? What was your process in fleshing them out? Do any of the Rangers know that Danny’s powers deal with gravity manipulation? Or is it just flight to them?

Ludvig Lindström

Will we get the opportunity to delve into why Sidestep chose to become a vigilante and work with the Rangers in the first place, all those years ago? It would be an interesting conversation to have with another character, and also having to explain (lie) to them what's changed since we are now dead set to remain "retired". We kind of touched on the subject in FH: Rebirth and especially in our first meeting with Ortega.
