An exercise for people

victorygoddessOk, so we are on the verge of ready to go. A couple people need profiles, and we'll have in comm scenes going... quite possibly by this evening. So, while people are waiting, here's a little exercise.
We have a Tony, we probably have a Rachel Leighton. We may have at least one sidekick. Sig likely has an instructor. We have someone watching the com who has said she'll occasionally help with parents and such.... and we really want to encourage people to help each other out with support staff. So here's an exercise in 2 parts:
1. The easy one.
If you could have any 3 characters around as support for your main, who would they be? Parents, sidekicks, siblings, new takes on legacy concepts like War Machines for Starklings, etc. - who would they be?
A)
B)
C)
2. The tougher one.
This is not a hard commitment thread. Just something to get people thinking. Can you think of up to 3 supporting cast characters you might be willing to play if there was interest?
A)
B)
C)
Respond with answers. If you don't have 3 on either one, that's fine. This is just something to get people thinking and asking about each other's ideas.
As a side note, having done something like this before - support is easiest, and requires the least invites, if you do just one journal, and put 1-3 icons of each support char in it. They won't show up as much, so one icon is usually sufficient. Each one really doesn't usually need their own journal.
Regardless, this is obviously a thing for when we get more invites - just like villains and util journals would be... but we shouldn't need more than +1 invite per person for all of their support.
