Also, I just realized I left Legacy from my list, since K had the playbook upstairs. Like Beacon (but with a bit different twist), it would be about Jason, post-nanobots, trying to live up to his father’s role in the scientific, science adventurer, and even political/economic communities that Byron was a part of … only also trying to do better.

“To the rest of the world, you might be the son of Byron Quill. To me, and I’m sure to Leo, you are Jason. You’ll always be Jason, first and best. Your opinion, and your dignity, is important.”
So there are definitely people who think you can be that role, but as your own person and in your own way.
The Innocent - This playbook would only really work under two conditions: 1) ignore everything about the time travelling (fairly easy, excluding one optional move) and 2) other Concordance Agents would need to show up and be the utter dic…tators that I’ve (possibly) foreshadowed them being.
The Newborn - Dammit, this would have been a much better fit for Adam starting out (with a few minor changes). A playbook that prioritizes not knowing how to react in a new world with odd powers? Would have fit a lot better earlier, but I don’t think it properly represents where Adam’s story is going now.
I feel like there is a huge story shift/new arc sitting in the Innocent as you described. It’s like the Reach coming to Earth big.
The Newborn feels like Sol as you have depicted it (him?) so far.

Surprisingly little had to change. I subbed out the word “terrifying” with “destructive or awkward” in a couple moves to play on Otto’s accessibility situation. He’s got a couple powers (transformation and combination, flight, disguise as a mundane car) that don’t appear on the Transformed’s list, but he can otherwise be an over-sized brick pretty easily.
One of the Janus relationship questions didn’t make sense for her, so I pulled in one from the Delinquent. The powers also don’t cover any kind of hard-light projection, but I think as she tinkers with herself, more would develop.
