The Fan Boy Brigade [Archive] - HERO Games Discussion Boards

A few years ago a player of mine decided on having a DNPC, and after some talk we decided on making DNPC a huge fan of the player’s character. The DNPC were such a big fan that he acted as a copy cat, or at least a sidekick wannabe. Normally a sidekick is built as a follower, but in this case the sidekick was so lame that he provided more work for the character than help. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the name of the unwanted sidekick, so I’ll just call him “Fan Boy”:

DNPC: Fan Boy 8- (Normal; Useful Skills; Unaware of character’s Secret ID)

The sidekick was so fanatic about the character that he hadn’t figured out the player’s real ID, so player bought the DNPC with “Unaware of character’s Secret ID”. Initially we talked making the character the character “Incompetent”, but it was hard to create a character that even reminded of the character so we changed him into a normal. Due to the DNPC being an expansive crime-fighter, we decided to add “Useful Skills” for a total of 25 + 25 Character Points. To avoid the problem with Fan Boy stealing GM attention from the players, we lowered his potential to get in trouble to 8-.

Initially the DNPC were meant to be used as an in-game joke, but it proved to be quite fun to create a low-powered wannabe of the character. When you have so few Character Points you have to prioritize between which aspects of the character to keep, as which aspects to waste. To some degree the DNPC became the essence of the player’s character. That wasn’t what we initially intended, but the end result was by far better than the intention.

Since this little exercise proved so fun, I wonder if someone is interested in trying to do the same for some of the Champion Universe characters. The character creation rules are the following:
25 Character Points and a maximum of 25 points worth of Disadvantages
The DNPC is allowed to have the everyday package of skills
The DNPC should have at least a few skills that separate him from the original character.
The DNPC should also have a few skills that enhance his fan boy attitude, like KS: Character or KS: The Superhuman World.
Even if the original DNPC weren’t allowed any experience points, for this project a few points might be allowed. I would say a maximum of 5 - 10 points. Still, try to avoid it if possible.

Is it just me, or does everyone immediately think of Incrediboy? :D

I wonder how Foxbat's fanboy will turn out? More or less competent than him?

Don't let my funnin' fool ya - I think its a cool concept. I don't have the CU source material to contribute, but I wish I did!

I've never heard of Incrediboy before, but judging from the home page (http://www.incrediboy.com) I guess he's in the same league.

I shall give Foxbat's fanboy a try later on, but first a few heroes. I need to warm up before taking on the big F. ;)

No worries about the funning, as I wrote earlier in this thread this "project" started out as a silly thing. I’m just glad someone, besides me, likes the idea.

Actually, in Champions Battlegrounds there are writeups for not one but two fans of Foxbat: Foxbatboy and Foxbatgirl. :)

"I shall spare your life, little one" said the goddess, and gently touched Shelley's hair. A green spark passed from Viperia into Shelley, and Shelley lost consciousness.

Her powers are only carrying a -1/4 limit, and it is genuine in that if she's stunned, that's it for her.

Fueled by beer and deep depression, Borrowitz altered a set of police issue riot gear into an imitation of Nighthawk's costume. He worked hardest on the hat, covering it with long black feathers and fixing on a huge bill. He felt better wearing it. Nighthawk was just an ordinary guy in a costume, and he was a hero!

Incrediboy's/Syndrome's "powers" all come from gadgets, too, which may be a good way to do such a fanboy/girl - a Normal carrying a bunch of Foci that [poorly] mimic the Hero's inherent powers. Examples: Flight = Jetpack/Jet-boots, Gliding = honking big cape, Clinging = suction cups, Armor = bulky kevlar jacket, Energy Blast = powerful flashlight.

Then, one fine summer day, a vile of Trainer Dan's "Juice" came into Kelvin's posession. He drank it without hesitation, while watching his favorite training tape; a tape of the mighty Grond smashing his way through San Francisco. Kelvin felt his muscles literally exploding with power, and a strange itching on his sides. WHen the transformation was complete, Kelvin was 11 feet tall, bright green, and covered with muscle! The extra arms were bonus features! Now, as the Greenskin Kid, Kelvin will emulate his idol, and punch his way into Supervillain Greatness!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Hit it. Hit it again.

Players will probably think he's as tough as he looks, hit him onec, and be surprised when he splats.</td></tr></table>

What, no one else is in the mood to throw together a 25+25 version of a CU character?
I don't have the currrent version of Heromaker.

I have the original version that was part of Champions 4th ed Deluxe

Ha! In my day we chisled our characters onto stone tablets using our own intestines, and we liked it that way!

Or, you know, pencils and paper. Whatever.

I want to, but it would take time I don't currently have :(.

BTW, would it matter if the Fanboy was based on a Champions Universe 4th Ed character?

I'm not the OP, but I'm sure any era of Champions would do. :)
