SUPER POWER
Mind Control

TEAM SKILLS
Vision, leadership, business development, profanity dilettante

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7 because he is the definition of tragic hero badassness. That RPG captured my heart, soul, and 1,000′s of hours played. His hair was pretty sweet too.

SUPER POWER
Empath

TEAM SKILLS
Product, strategy, operations, sensibility advocate

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be Mario. He’s just an ordinary guy inadvertently thrown into extraordinary circumstances. He never gives up, even when he works his butt off only to discover his princess is in another castle.

Two words… “Barrel Roll.” I’d be Fox McCloud from the one and only Star Fox.

SUPER POWER
Pheromones

TEAM SKILLS
Code, engineering, planning, meme inception

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be Link from Ocarina of Time. Not only is he tasked with saving the kingdom and rescuing the princess, but he must do so while traveling back and forth through time and space. Plus he brings a sword AND shield to melee.

SUPER POWER
Pee Around Corners

TEAM SKILLS
Quality, punctuality, curator, inebriation

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be a level-capped Druid Wood Elf. Why? Because of their ability to hunt and gather skills and wisdom, but at the same time, be able to unleash an unholy spell of doom or buffs with a flick of a wrist.

Eric @dyecasting

SUPER POWER
Unbreakability

TEAM SKILLS
Editorial, communication, execution, mexican food consumption

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be Mega Man. He takes on a challenge, acquires new skills and then uses those strengths to his advantage as he takes on the next stage. Yeah. I wanna be that guy.

Jason @jason_bradley

SUPER POWER
Internet Cloud Riding

TEAM SKILLS
Community, Child-Theming, Empathic Vibrations

GAMING ALTER EGO
I’d be Oddjob from Goldeneye. Everyone’s favorite multiplayer pick if you were lucky enough to be him. Quick, well-dressed, hard to kill. No gun needed; just a sharp brimmed hat.
