If someone else was holding the weapon or otherwise preventing it from moving freely, it can't come to him. Being able to see the weapon wasn't something I was thinking of, but it doesn't seem to matter much if Camus feels summoning it wouldn't be appropriate for a Device.
Summoning would also work, the thing is that it would not be an easily removable device. It is a matter of costs I think. You original dove idea is great, you just need to pay a little extra for it as it efficiently cuts down the disadvantage of an easily removable device.

I'm glad it had the desired effect. ;) He's not supposed to be a nice guy, although I'll have to work a bit more on his potential to be more then just the boogeyman he is now, maybe even some kind of redemption?

2)Intresting take on the "Yankee In King Arthur's Court" gimmick.Out of curiosity,what was his original objective/orders from the Empire for being this far East of the Roman lines?

Very interesting bunch we have here, overall I think! Wondering how best they'd fit...
Am I dead? Am I alive? The answer may surprise you!

I'm rather curious myself on that,Doc.Mostly,it looks like we have spirits&Ninja's with only two Bad-Ass Normals with Gimmick's the minority....

The way I see it, we've got three general plotlines that could be followed and that'll be likely to decide group composition.
Team "FInd The Boss" would be those loyal to Nobunaga looking to find him and resume serving / assisting him.
Team "Kill The Boss" would be those out for Nobunaga's head.
Team "We Have a Boss?" would be those following a completely unrelated line of adventure in the turmoil after Nobunaga's disappearance.

The general thrust from characters submitted so far seems to be a mix of pro-Nobunaga and Nobunaga-neutral sentiments with one vehement anti-Nobunaga. Though, I say that without reviewing the character sheets.

Hmmm... this might be kind of cheesing the system, but what if I built the War Dove as an actual Minion/Sidekick? Its powers look something like this right now:
Bird Size: Shrinking 8 (Permanent, Innate); 17 PP
Works With Hachiman: Enhanced Trait 6 (Improved Initiative 6, Limited to Initiative check no higher than Hachiman's); 3 PP
Wings: Flight 4 (30 MPH, Wings); 4 PP
Weapon Forms: Morph 2 (Archaic Weapons, Side Effect 2: Paralyzed) Linked to Variable 2 (Free Action, Limited to Archaic Weapons, Side Effect 2: Paralyzed); 18 PP
The Initiative bonus ensures that War Dove will always be at the same Initiative as Hachiman. As part of the Variable, it would gain Damage effects with Affects Others Only, passing on those effects to the wielders (it could also gain or lose ranks of Shrinking to match the appropriate size of the weapon). The Side Effect renders the War Dove paralyzed, only good to be wielded as a weapon by someone else until it returns to bird form.

I am very excited to play, though the 2 posts per week feels like it might take us 8.6 years to escape the first combat. If I lure with my supplies of evil cookies (twice the sugar, thrice the guilt), would that possibly up the rate of expected/offered posting? :)

Note: For full disclosure, PBP/RPGs-wise I am a seasoned vet, but I have never played Mutants & Masterminds before, and fully understand if you shun neophytes in your midst.

My thought was to leave that vague in order to adapt him to the storyline, or give the GM room to toss me about like a chew toy, if I was chosen.

Should that not be necessary/needed, and it is up to me to fill in the blanks, then I was going to have him learn that he was sent to die horribly, and that his death had been ordered. Mission 2: Burn down the Holy Roman Empire.

I was actually going to suggest exactly that, not only because it might actually fit thematically but because I was toying with that same idea for another game he he. Go ahead, I like it

2 per week should be the minimum, if people get bananas, I'll try to follow suit.

Holy Roman Empire as in the Germans right?

More than likely the actual Roman Empire.They DID have an Empire at the time(true,it was just Italy,but by the standards of the timeframe,it was considered an Empire),though their borders were MUCH farther West.So much so that i'm suprised Loki's Submitted character made it this far East at all.....
