After seeing the word association and Queston game, I decided to put a Character Posting game. Just post a character with the archetype requested, then request the archetype or Concept you want to see, ad nauseum.

Here's the first character.
A Brick/Martial Artist that I made for SF in my CU.
Rose Dragon

Player: NPC Heroine

Background: Mei Li Thurman is said to be the daughter of a Dragon. She will neither confirm nor deny the claim. She is a dedicated and cultured heroine in San Fransisco. She is very friendly with the local PRIMUS Silver Avenger, Leon Carter.

Motivation: A chinese knight, Mei Li seeks to aid those who cannot protect themselves. She believes in good people, good friends, and good times. She is a restrained and polite party animal.

Quote: "The Dragon has been released, foul one. I hope you are prepared."

Tactics: Martial artist with superhuman physical stats. Against normals she tends towards grappling or Nerve strikes to keep them from too much harm. If they prove rough and tumble she'll start smacking them around a little. She prefers to legsweep superstrong opponents and then smack them. Against ranged foes and mentalists, she moves in as quickly as possible, hoping her innate toughness and missile deflection will be enough.

Campaign: A supernatural martial artist in San Fransisco. Go figure. Anyway, to make her stronger add more dragon powers. To make her less powerful lower her phyiscal attributes to legendary ranges.

Appearance: Eyes: Hazel, Hair: Black
Mei Li's Costume greatly resembles that of Chun Li's first outfut in the Streetfighter series. It consists of a rose colored silk top with billowing shoulders and intricate golden designs. She wears sheer tights underneath and rose colored shoes. Her hair is worn long in a single braid.

Next up?
Flying Brick!

Since the Fall many things have changed. Slavers have come to the West Coast, raining inland looking for people of the lands to take back to Pacifica. Ularra, mystic of Nadhmar, King beneathe the waves, despises the slavers for their machines, and the pain they cause the people who live peacefully on the land. Taking matters into her own hands she strikes back whenever she can.

Six foot tall, jet black skin, piercing blue eyes, hard as tempered steel, and that’s before Setai invokes the power granted to him by the god Anubis. Warden of the underworld, Anubis sent his Setai to earth as his avatar. His mission simple: hunt down those who cheat the scales of Ma'at.

Setai, the Hound of Anubis, will not start combat with individuals who haven’t broken the law of Ma’at or earned Anubis’s wrath. However, when forced into battle Setai tries to end it as quickly as possible. The mystic kepesh at his side once he takes on the raiment aids his battles, and the gifts provided by Anubis for his dedication make sure Setai returns to fight another day.

Undead are the exception to Setai’s rule of entering combat. Their ilk are the very reason he was sent to the earth, all such abominations are considered traitors against Ma’at. Setai will not waste his breath trying to parley, seeking only their destruction. The weaker, mindless, undead are disgusting, and their desecrated corpses must be laid to rest. Those willingly seeking unlife are the most foul, and Setai is often tasked by messengers from Anubis to slay these individuals. Setai’s role of undead bounty hunter has earned him the enmity of more than one powerful undead, at least until Setai confronts them himself, sending them to finally stand before his lord.

Upon invoking the Raiment of Anubis Setai’s form shifts, adding muscle bulk, and growing to ten feet. His head transforms into a jackal’s, covered in black fur, and his ice blue eyes burn azure blue, glowing with divine power. Might infuses his body, making him greater than he was before. His garb is that of ancient Egypt: a white kilt enwraps his waste, sandals on his feet, and a golden ankh on a chain about his neck. Setai doesn’t wear any armor, and wades into battle bare chested, his only protection is the will of Anubis.

Background: He claims to be over 10000 years old. He claims to be the legendary hero king Gilgamesh. He also claims to have had an affair with just about every A-List starlet and pop diva since the 60's. What is known is that in the 37 years Adam Gilgamesh has been in the public eye, he hasn't aged a bit, he possesses superhuman strength and resiliance. ALthough he generally isn't the first hero on the scene, when the fit hits the shan, Gilgamesh is there, dressed in his red and gold loin cloth and golden sandles and armbands.
Personality/Motivation: He loves Celebrity, he loves, money, he loves alot of things. Gilgamesh is a self promoting, yet suave, operator. He fights evil to look good and talks about himself alot. However, when the chips are down and the world is at stake, he is there on the frontlines. He has some immortal enemies that can also stir him to action. One thing about him, he keeps his secrets secret. His Mind has been mystically shielded from intrusion, often violently repulsing those seeking to control or read it.
Quote: "I saw something like this in China circa 1434. Of course that dragon wasn't so tough then either!" 
Powers/Tactics: A skilled brawler and wrestler, Gilgamesh is a consumate brick. He's bright enough, and quite skilled at hand to hand combat, but in the end, he generally just starts smacking the opposition til they fall. Only if they seem immune to his standard attacks does he find weakness.
Appearance: When not expecting combat, Gilgamesh dresses in expensive tailored suits with fine leather gloves and often carrying a cane. He wears expensive and, at times, gaudy jewelry. He generally tops the ensemble off with gargoyle sunglasses. He keeps his beard and hair neatly trimmed, often wearing his shoulder length hair in a ponytail.
If he's going to be cracking heads, he wears a red and gold loincloth, gold sandals, bracers, belt, and bracers. He keeps the gloves and occasionally the sunglasses.

The tPorting Martial Artist is kind of a ho-hum been done archetype for me; just cant get motivated to post anything for it.

I was tempted to just dump a copy of Cheshire Cat from the Templates on the boards as a joke, but didnt want to violate any IP ;)

Just as an idea: instead of a martial artist that can teleport, how about a character with no real combat training but an incredibly fast and effortless port. His/her fighting style might be flailing wildly, then teleporting in mid swing to line up the attack. OCV levels only when porting, targeting PSLs, dodge and dive for cover levels, etc.

My apologies I didn't realize a TP martial artist was overdone/already done. :(
I don't have Champions yet (GASP), or an in depth history in the system pre FREd. I have a few old books but have not played with or used them to know them.

I like Victim's alternate idea though, has me thinking...

Its cool; didnt mean to imply any 'tone'; I was just letting you know why I didnt throw a character up. Ill admit that seeing Nightcrawler in action had me vaguely retreading the idea.

But probably the most abusive character Ive ever seen was a 12 Speed TPorter (w/ some Martial Arts) with NRay Spatial Awareness out to the exact range of his Teleport (27" IIRC). Did I mention Usable as Attack?

{shudders}

So, while cool, its one of those ideas that I dont encourage ;)

Has a knife or sword scar down the left side of his face just missing his eye socket; he wont talk about it. Wears a black and khaki utilitarian outfit that is vaguely militaristic, with a gun belt and modern loadbearing harness. He is a composed and observant man, not one to leap into an unknown situation.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: All business. Kenneth, like his father, carries his feelings deep inside. He doesnt let things rile him if possible. Impassivity and professionalism are his hallmarks. Innocent, guilty, not his place to decide. If dealing with an obviously/unrepentantly guilty individual he will merely minimize interaction and keep the perp under tighter lock and key. Endgame does not use lethal force unless absolutely necessary; his job is to bring people in alive and as unharmed as possible, a point that he takes very seriously. Kenneth believes in the Bounty Hunters creed and will give short shrift to any fly by night half-assed outfit that makes the profession look bad. In some cases he has been known to go out of his way to 'snake' contracts from disreputible Bond Collection firms in an effort to put them out of business or to teach them a lesson, a habit which has made him some enemies in the Bounty Hunter community.      Kenneth's motivations are not very clear cut. He basically has the motivation of any small business owner; to see his venture succeed. He found something he is good at, so he does it well. He is a professional practictioner of a craft, plain and simple.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:"Save it for the Judge sonny, I'm just the dogcatcher."; "Your Civil Rights are not being violated; I have a bond on you. Now please be quiet or I will be forced to gag you."; "Yes mam; though Endgame Securities and Bond Enforcement is primarily a Bail Enforcement firm, we do also occasionally accept arms-length contracts for private security work. I'm sure you would feel much safer with 2 of our bonded Security Specialists posted on the premises until your ex-husband can be returned to custody. Im sure you will find our rates competitive."</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Born in the early 60's, grew up while Nam was imploding, and graduated highschool in a dark cynical time for America. Kenneth grew up mostly in St. Loius; his father Joeseph was a retired Army soldier that took up bounty hunting after Korea and lived a strange life of frequent absences interspersed with dry stretches. Kenneth's mother Greta was from Germany; she had met and married Joeseph in post-war Munich during the initial years of occupation by the United States Military. Greta harbored some quiet dissapointments that her life with Joeseph had not turned into all it could have, but she loved her husband and respected that he tried his best to be a good provider, in his own unconventional way. She had 3 sons by him, the youngest of which, Mark, suffered brain damage due to complications at birth, and between Joeseph's retirement from the Army and the money he brought in on bail collections they lived comfortably in a lower-middle class sort of way. Thier eldest son Nathan was KIA in Vietnam in 1972. Greta never really recovered from the loss, and died unexpectedly to an undetected cancer in the spring of 1978. Joeseph was heartbroken, but being of the old school kept his grief to himself. He put the young Mark into a special home for mentally retarded children and took Kenneth, who was a sophomore in high school now, on the road with him over that long hot summer of riots and gas scares. Crime was high and bonds were prevalent. Joeseph poured himself into the work with a vengeance, giving Kenneth a rough and ready OJT in the process. Joeseph used the money to ride out the following school year since he didnt have anyone to stay at home and watch Kenneth, and the summer of 79 they repeated the process, and again over the summer of 1980 after which Kenneth went to Purdue on a scholastic and sports scholarship and got a BA in Electrical Engineering with a double minor in Criminology and Business Administration. Kenneth played basketball for the school, and also discovered a previously unknown talent for chess, doing well on the school's chess team after being introduced to the game by a friend he made while living in the dormitories. Joeseph was very proud of his son, but didnt get to see him graduate in 84, as he was killed in pursuit of a bond 2 months prior. The mark was a small time hoodlum named Eel whose only distinguishing feature was that he had a minor mutant power; the ability to discharge a small electrical shock by touch; unfortunately thats all it took to fry Joeseph's pacemaker.      Graduating Purdue cum laude, Kenneth was determined to bring the Eel to justice. He took over the family 'business', getting his bounty hunter credentials, and put his ear to the street. Word had it the Eel and some 'mutie scum' friends had peeled out south and gone down into Mexico. Kenneth and then proceeded to whip up a few simple pieces of equipment to help him deal with the Eel and several of the other minor powered cronies he was rumored to be friends with. Kenneth did some wheeling and dealing, working a few small bonds to establish himself, and managed to 'trade' into the Eels bond (while bonds are first come first serve, unless a bond is particularly large most other bounty hunters will respect a 'dibs' on a contract if they are aware of it). In the process he found out that bonds on powered marks were both respectibly higher than other marks, and bounty hunters were far less likely to pursue them as well.      Finally ready, Kenneth followed the trail south to the border and ended up living in El Paso for 4 months tracing a cold trail. Finally he caught a good lead and head deep into Mexico. After another 3 months of pursuit he finally found Eel and his companions, working for a Columbian drug cartel as enforcers. The situation was definitely more dangerous than Kenneth had expected; he knew he was in way over his head but vengeance was driving him on. Using every trick his father had ever taught him, and making up a few as he went along, he managed to maintain a loose surveilance of the Eel for 6 months, traveling around the area working as a hired hand. Finally, when he was almost ready to give up and pull back to reconsider his options, his chance came. The Eel was sent out with a few other goons to escort a shipment of drugs. Kenneth followed. That night as the drug runners slept in a cheap flophouse at a wide spot in the road, Kenneth snuck into the Eels room and managed to incapacitate him without alerting the goons. He then proceeded to try to extract him back to the United States, and thats when the trouble began. The goons assumed that the Eel was a turncoat when they couldnt find him, so they went back for reinforcements. Soon, a posse of drug runners were chasing across the region looking for the Eel. Kenneth managed to come out on top and finally win his way back to America with Eel in tow, but the margin of success was narrow. Too narrow for Kenneth.      Kenneth realized that there was a lot of money to be made bringing in powered criminals, and that he could be the one to collect it, given sufficient time, patience, training, and equipment. Wasting no time, Kenneth embarked on a self-mandated regimine of training. He sought out martial arts instructors, taking multiple classes in multiple styles at the same time, and enforcing a strict schedule of diet and fitness. Using the money from his dad Life Insurance and working a few local bails as necessary, Kenneth also assembled a respectible electronics and machining shop in the basement of his family home. Applying his Electrical Engineering expertise and his inventive mind, he constructed a series of useful tools to assist him in his work. After a number of years of constant improvement, he put his plan in action and started taking bonds that the other hunters wouldnt touch, particularly the supers bonds. With time and hard knocks he constantly refined his procedures and techniques and became very successful at it. Putting his Businees minor to work, he expanded his efforts into a larger concern, and today has 4 offices around the country with 18 full time employees.      His exploits eventually drew attention, and the media started calling him Checkmate, after interviews with several of his collars drew a picture of him as playing an intricate game with his marks before finally moving in for a single irrefutible outcome, but when he heard of this Kenneth responded that if they _had_ to give him some colorful name, he preferred Endgame, and when he eventually set up his company, thats what he called it. However, Checkmate was much more widely used and caught on; thus, most people know of him as Checkmate despite his continued use of the name Endgame.      Kenneth's offices are scattered around the US, but he still lives in his family home in St. Louis, traveling around as needed. His brother Mark's care facility went out of business in 1992, and Mark has lived in the house with a live-in nurse/caretaker since then. This has been a problem on a few occasions when some enemy of Kenneth's has tracked him down, but so far nothing serious has come of it. Recently Kenneth started dating a local newscaster, Dorothy Sands, who is 20 years his junior, and things have been moving from casual to serious the last few months.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: He takes his marks with careful skill and planning. He cant go toe to toe with most supers, so he will maximise the element of stealth, and his spectrographic goggles which can often pick out weak areas in an opponents defenses. He relies on his gadget pool and martial arts to take down a superhuman mark, but the true battle is already won most times by his careful planning and use of skills to set a mark up, trap them, put them at a disadvantage, and attack them from surprise. He usually will observe from a distance, trying to pick out an exploitable weakness before he engages a mark. In some cases he has observed a mark for over a week noting patterns and behavior before choosing the perfect moment to strike, when the mark was isolated, alone, and vulnerable. He does not grandstand or even talk much. Its just a job to him, and a dangerous one at that.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: [1] "Endgame Securities and Bond Enforcement, LLC is currently accepting applications from prospective affiliates. Our national team of professional affiliates receive assignments of skips and warrants for their local area. Qualified candidates must be professional bounty hunters with verifiable experience and verifiable references." The PC/PCs could go to work for Endgame Securities; they just need to pass a state certified test and have brought in at least one powered criminal. The money is decent, and as long as they follow certain basic guidelines they can legally use most of thier powers in the pursuit of a bonded criminal (direct force is not generally allowed per se in the hunting of bounties, but it tends to be one of those things that goes under the radar if not too overt). [2] The State of Michigan hereby posts this bonded notice of capture for the superhuman vigilante known as {Player Character's Name HERE} [3] One of the PC's hunteds or rivals has a bond out on them and Checkmate is going to collect it.

Background/History: Patrick Ross had always been a rather bookish young man. Although naturally strong and healthy, he wasn’t much interested in athletics or other physical pursuits. Instead, he was fascinated by American history, and his connection to it.

Patrick’s great, great, great, great, grandmother on his mother’s side was none other than Betsy Ross, famed seamstress who created the enduring symbol of Old Glory – the original American flag. Patrick was extremely proud of his connection to such an all-American figure, and studied the Revolutionary period with great interest… so much so that he eventually became a teacher of American history.

It was remarkable, Patrick thought, that his father happened to be named Ross, bringing the famous name back to the family in Patrick’s generation… especially since Betsy and John Ross had not even had any children! All seven of Betsy’s daughters were by her second and third husbands.
(The rest of Patrick’s family tended to think that Patrick was a bit around the bend concerning his remote connection to Betsy Ross – who was a pretty minor figure anyway when you got right down to it. But he was a nice boy, and it didn’t cost anything to humor him.)

Patrick’s devotion to his many-times-great grandmother’s memory took an unexpected turn on January 30, 1936 – the centennial of her passing. She appeared to Patrick – in a dream or as an apparition… even Patrick isn’t sure – and warned him that America would be facing dire times in the coming years. Grave threats from within and without would test the mettle of the great democracy, and there would be many who would challenge the American ideals that her beloved Old Glory stood for. She said that a champion was needed… to embody those American ideals, to uphold the integrity of what the Revolutionaries fought for, and to oppose those who would trample the Red, White, and Blue.
She told Patrick to prepare himself for the task – to train himself in athletics and fisticuffs, so that when the time was right, he could assume the mantle of Old Glory. He worked hard for over two years, and got himself into outstanding physical condition.

In mid-1938, after the unveiling of figures such as Captain Liberty and Der Sturmvogel, Betsy appeared to him again. She told him to contact Peter Revere, whose own famous ancestor had been guiding him in the creation of a shield for Patrick to use in his crusade, and she finally told him that she was passing the spirit of America’s love for and pride in its flag on to him.

Old Glory, a new American champion, was born!

Personality/Motivation: Patrick Ross is a true-blue patriot. He believes wholeheartedly in the american dream, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that all men are created equal. While training for his role as Old Glory, he started taking note of world and national events – heeding his ancestor’s warning of dark times to come. He sees both the Axis and the Communists as threats to be watched carefully, and is also quite concerned about crime at home.

His philosophical worldview is also centered around what he perceives the Americal ideals to be. His politics can’t exactly be classified as left-wing or right-wing. For example, he is uneasy about many of Roosevelt’s programs, fearing that they place too much power in the hands of the government (an essentially right-wing position), but he’s also an advocate (and a very early one) of civil rights and women’s rights, on the grounds that all are created equal (an essentially left-wing position). He thinks in terms of being an American… not in terms of being a conservative or a liberal. This has the unfortunate effect of making extremists of both political persuasions distrust him at times…

Quote: “Rally ‘round the flag, boys!”

Powers/Tactics: Old Glory is a well-trained hand-to-hand combatant, and that’s his standard modus operandi in combat. He’s also an outstanding athlete, in top physical condition.

He carries the Star Shield, made by Peter Revere (with guidance from the spirit of Paul Revere) out of a cutting edge alloy called Steeltanium. He uses it for defense, to strike with, and occasionally even for throwing at foes. He can currently only use it for a couple of these functions at a time, but as he gains skill with the shield, he may be able to learn to manipulate it quickly enough to always have it where it’s needed.

Patrick can also call upon the spirit of Old Glory… the mystical force that Americans have created over generations from their pride in their national symbol. This force can manifest itself four ways, based on the symbolic colors and design of the flag. Red stands for hardiness, and Patrick can project a sturdy field of red force. White stands for purity, and he can use this energy for healing the wounded. Blue stands for vigilance, and he can create glowing blue images of events happening a distance away. Lastly, the bright Stars allow him to create blinding lights, though this ability can be used only 13 times each day (once for each star on Old Glory).

Appearance: Old Glory wears a red-and-white striped shirt, blue pants, and white bootsand gloves. He also carries a white shield emblazoned with a blue star. He’s tall and muscular, with blonde hair and blue eyes. (See picture on page 89 of the BBB.)

NOTE: ITs late my writting seems crap even when Im reading it right now, so yeah T.S

As a young teen in the mid 80's Alexander Ziogous found himself hiding himself and his younger sister Diana in a small bombed out old tomb. While hiding a sqaud of soldiers searched the area for "threats" aparantly Alex and his sister were threats and the soldiers opened fire. Diana was killed instantly and as the soldiers cocked their pistols for the next shots (which would surley kill our young hero) her life blood touched the ground causing a void to appear below him and suck the body of his sister and himself into it... The soldiers were shocked and ran.

Meanwhile deep below the earths crust Alexander was confronted with somthing no man had seen in thousands of years. The Aristotle Spike, Alexander felt compelled to reach out and touch it. What followed was hours upon hours of agony and pleasure at the same time. Never once releasing the pale blue spike his knowledge grew and grew and grew as did his physical body. He aged and became an almost perfect physical speciman.

Suddenly without warning he was thrown back from the spike landing at the feet of a man dressed in a tunic warn by the ancient greek. He introduced himself as Parmenio "The Lion Of Macedon." Alexander recognised him, from somewhere deep inside. It was almost as if he knew him all along and just needed reminding. Looking past Parmenio Alexander saw his sisters body yet for some reason he did not feel greif for her. He felt happiness that she was on the Illysian feilds... He then felt confusion about how he knew of the illysian feilds. Burying her was easy, and done thoughtfully.

Parmenio spoke, he spoke of the spike that had part of the life forces of Phillip of Macedon, part of his own and all of Aristotles combined into a physical gemstone. He spoke of how one could use it to become the ultimate warrior, he spoke of how a few had found it, Octavius Ceasar, Parcival, El Cid and Saladin to name them. And he spoke of how Phillips own son had been the first to use it.
Parmenio spoke of how as the keeper he must make sure that the ones who use it leave worthy, and with that he started to train Alex
---------------
It seemed like months trapped in the little room with Parmenio, and yet Alex felt no thirst or hunger. For days he would converse with Parmenio, and then for days parmenio would train him.
----------
More "months" past and then one day Parmenio walked to the wall and passed through it. Alexander followed and realised that he was outside of the crypt. Parmenio spoke telling him that a day had passed since the slaying of his sister. He spoke again speaking of how the recievers of the spikes gift would always make a difference for good or for bad. With that he turned to Alexander and pulled the short sword from his belt. 'Take it' He said, and with that he dissapeared.
--------------------------------------------------------

Alexander became a mercinary. A good hired gun, but nothing more until one night where he broke into a laboratory. Sent to kill the Doctor Nitro he found himself in the fight of his life against the good doctor... Until the Doc beaned him.... and for some insane reason kept him around for a year and a half being his personal body gaurd... Until fighting broke out in the city. The doctor and Alex fought against the soldiers, terrorists and mysterious mystics who swore allegance to the "Institute of the Arts." It was during this time that the Doctor made Alex his suit and bike... It was during this time that Alexander tattooed himself, it was during this time that Alexander assasinated several high ranking Greek officials under the name Helios. And it was after this when the Doctor sent him away for the murders did he finally realise what being a hero is about. "With Great Power comes Great Responcibility, Not great body counts."

Notes:
This is a member of my New Asgard Pantheon. Basically, this is the gods that were to be left after Ragnarok, I have added Gods at my leisure.

Enforcer84

May 15th, '03, 01:33 PM

Background:
When Thor was able to return himself to Asgard's past and meet his fated doom at Ragnarok, the new gods of Asgard, those prophesized to lead humanity to a new golden age, appeared. Led by Vidar, son of Odin with the mighty Magni and brave Modi at his side, these new godlings have restored much of Asgard to its former glory in a few short years. The new Asgardians have yet to turn their eyes to Midgard, save for Khur the God of Mischief. Good natured and kind hearted, Khur is a lovable rogue who gets himself into trouble just to get out of it with his wits, charm, swordarm and prodigeous luck.
However, his luck seemingly abandoned him when he entered the fortress of Loki. Closed off by order of Vidar, the Keep of Sorrows was an inviting target for the thrill seeking Khur. Little did he know he was called their not by his sense of adventure, but by the shade of the God of Evil. After a brief search, Khur found a crystal globe in the claw of a crow. Peering into the globe, he lost his soul. Loki possessed his body and then took up the crystal prison Khur's spirit now inhabited and left to once more rule all creation.
Realizing quickly, that Khur was working agianst him and that he was an imperfect doppleganger, Loki used Khur's frequent trips to Midgard as cover for his escape. He is building a base of power on Midgard, hoping to one day soon return with an army of dark beings to help him lay waste to the new Gods.

Personality/Motivation:
Loki is power mad (and just plain mad) to the extreme. He will not tolerate failure on the part of his minions and he constantly seeks to increase his power base. Whether this be through the collection of powerful artifacts, or agents. Right now he is trying to acclimate himself to the modern era, find out what kind, if any rivals he might have and quash themm before he makes his move.

Khur's motivations right now are to thwart Loki and get his body back. Normally he just wants to have fun, cause trouble, and tell good stories.

 Powers/Tactics: Although he has some potent magic at his disposal, Loki is still at a fraction of the mystical might he enjoyed before his "death" at the hands of Heimdall during the last battle of Ragnarok. He split his spirit into two parts and awaited the fated battle. The spirit that now resides in Khur's body is still coming to its own. It is more malicious than its predicessor, but is very careful. Aside from his magical might, he is a skilled swordsman and his divine form is quite a bit tougher than the average mortal. He is a skilled actor and master of disguise and intrigue.
Quote:"The children of Asgard will soon feel the just wrath of the One True God of Evil."
 Campaign Use:
If you want to use Khur on his own, before the possession or after he is cured, Lower his INT and EGO to 15 each. Raise his PRE and COM to 23 and 22 respectively, Loki's penchant for scowling and sneering has taken away from Khur's natural winsome attractiveness. Lower the VPP to 20 points Khur is a dabbler at magic, not a sorcerer. His Sorcery skill should be dropped to base INT roll (13-); give him another level with his sword and drop the Fire Magic MP. The Levels with Fire Magic MP can be swiched to PRE SKills. Lastly, lose the 5d6 unluck and replace it with 7d6 of Luck.

Loki's Base of operations is in Millenium City, why? Don't know. The Sideways Fortress is in a side dimension, Loki and his agents enter through a mural painted on an old theatre. Loki is seeking to gather power and Khur wants to stop him, but not be obvious about it, as Loki has tortured him in the past and he doesn't want to go through that again. He often seeks to contact others through force of will when Loki is occupied with other things, this draws mystically atuned heroes to Loki's whereabouts.

Appearance: Khur-Loki is a handsome, youthful man with fair skin and black hair. His eyes are blue. He wears his hair long and often has an unshaven but not bearded face. He wears greens and browns. (Loki's penchant for darker colors has led him to dark green and black, or crimson if he's feeling kingly.
Kriegfang is a bastard sword with a black leather grip, a silver hilt and pommel. The blade is a reddish steel two large fangs adorn the blade at its base, these are fangs from Fenris.

He has a dark and angry core of cynicism and fatalism. After years of dealing with the detritus of crime scenese he has a terrible dislike of criminals, particularly the sort that seem to evade justice. He is also partially motivated by boredom; compared to sitting around in his crappy little apartment watching basic cable tracking and killing drug runners is pretty entertaining stuff. It is yet to be seen what the things motivation is (if any). </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:"ZXYXZYZXYYXDIE SCUM, DIE!!!ZXYXZYZXYYX" (When he speaks in bug from, it is accompanied by some buzzing and rattling from the Exoskeleton. </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background:  David Bohn is a 32 year old respected Forensics tech that works for the Millenium City Police department. He has been divorced for 7 years and his ex-wife Rachel has custody of thier daughter Gloria. He lives alone in a small crappy apartment downtown; his income is crippled by child support payments, which has even caused him to sell his car and walk to work. He left Princeton to marry Rachel after she got pregnant with Gloria, and didnt have the opportunity to complete his degree. His knowledge of forensics is very impressive, but without a degree he was unable to fulfill his life long dream of working for the FBI Crime Labs. His hair is thinning and his shoulders, once broad and powerful from his days as a Rower at Princeton, are starting to sag with the weight of an unhappy middle age. Outwardly he looks like just another fading former jock locked into an unsatisfying career and moving nowhere but towards his peak. His burning drive to catch criminals has been worn down to a cynical certainty that many of the worst criminals always get away with it even when caught red handed. If the glove dont fit, indeed. However, 6 months ago a strange artifact crossed David's path and changed his life irrevocably. Some whack job cult of fanatics were convinced that some alien race had come (back) to Earth to elevate all mankind brave enough to join them to live among the stars, and that to take this journey with the alleged alien race they must drink poisoned Kool-Aid and leave thier mortal shells behind. They did this, and some of the evidence crossed David's desk for categorization and analysis. Late that night, working after everyone else was gone because he had nothing better to do in his little appartment, David cleared through the mundane detritus of the cult and pulled this strange triangular medallion thingy out of the evidence box. The item was captivating in its design and had strange runes or glyphs etched into it. At the center of the triangle on what appeared to be the front was a semi-hemispherical bulge with a seam running through it. Intrigued, David pried at it with his tools and finally managed to get the seam to part. That is when his life was changed forever; from the enclosure revealed by his tinkering a hideous greenish black amorphous lump oozed out and injected itself beneath David's skin. The thing oozed from Davids hand inch by painful inch to the center of his chest where it remains to this day. This caused David to go into a horrified shock, and the adrenaline rushing through his body caused a reaction with the thing in his chest. Suddenly a thin hard film oozed from the lump in his chest to cover every inch of David's body, and then hardened into an exoskeleton of sharp spines and edged plates. Calming down, David made his way to a mirror and was horrified by what he saw; taring back at him from the mirror was some hideous alien-bug-thing, with spikes and edges everywhere, ugly bulbous eyes, and some kind of complex mandible system. The shock of it was too much for him and he recovered his senses some hours later at the docks, with a trail of devastation behind him. In his disoriented state the thing had trashed David's offices and then fought through the downtown police station, seriously injuring several officers. David was able to escape suspicion because luckily for him he had stepped out for dinner earlier that night and was on archived video as having left the building. His return was filmed on the next tape which was still in the recorder and wiped out during the bug-things rampage through the station, and noone had seen him come back in. Since that time the bug thing has been wanted by the Police, but David has been extremely careful to protect his identity. Over the ensuing weeks David discovered how to activate the thing in his chest and thus grow the bug-thing exoskeleton, and how to turn it off. He tested the range of his strange new abilities and discovered that he was incredibly powerful in the bug form. Taking to the streets at night he started hunting drug dealers and other street criminals in the suburbs outside of Millenium City. Sniffing up the food chain he started going after minor bosses and soon will have penetrated the criminal world sufficiently to start singling out real movers and shakers. David has not been gentle in his war on crime; many criminals have been greivously wounded and some have been killed. David has a tendency to kill the ones he thinks will beat the Justice system outright. David has been appropriating funds when he comes across drug money and has been putting it all away in several off shore accounts through intermediaries in his daughters name; when her time comes she's going to inherit quite a bit of money. The rumor of some kind of bug vigilante has been circulating among the street organizations, and some whisper of it was picked up by PRIMUS which has has since started to look into the matter.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Sect is basically a light brick with some interesting powers available via some strange symbiotic organism. Unfortunately, Sect is a lethal character in a kind of 4-color setting. To date he has not faced another superhuman and thugs cant really hurt him, so his tactics have thus far been leap in and kick butt. Further experience may see greater development of this area.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: Sect is most useful as the Vigilante-that-went-to-far.

Well 4 of my Export Templates are on the Export Download page here:

http://www.herogames.com/FreeStuff/Hero%20Designer/export%20templates/index.htm?referrer=HeroDesigner

ExportTemplatesKS

including the HERO Boards w/ Background.

The Black background uses that export template and then I wrap it with a table with 1 row and 1 td w/ bgcolor="black" and then close the td tr and table and the bottom. I didnt put it in the export template bcs its so easy to do and not everyone would like it, but its the work of a few seconds to add it to your own copy ;)

Ill post the white one when I have all the bugs worked out in a day or two. Its a little more complicated bcs the boards default the text to silver or white, so you have to explicitly set the font to black for every single td and non td chunk of text. I did this with a lot of Find and Replacing, but I need to go thru and fix some bogus tags.

Though he looks Chinese, he speaks English with a Kansas twang which can be disconcerting. His costume is comprised of a leather speed motorcycle outfit, with red piping, leather and lycra fighting gloves, and a sleek black motorcycle helmet with a tinted visor. He rides Asian motorcycles, and can kind of blend in when 'in costume'; he's just wearing a racing outfit after all which, while strange, isnt completely unheard of.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Bobby's personality was shaped almost entirely by his Uncle Wu. Wu molded Bobby into a weapon, with a head filled to bursting with pretenses of cultural superiority and contempt for other peoples. Bobby's entire mindset is based on what he has been told rather than what he has personally experienced. He has been brainwashed so thoroughly that when reality does not match with his expectations he becomes angry and will take steps to rationalize the disparity rather than reexamine his belief structure. Oddly, Bobby has never had much contact with other Chinese people beyond his own extended family, and has never been to China or Taiwan. If asked why he doesnt go live in China or Taiwan, he will become uncomfortable, evasive, and aggressive if pressed. In truth, at some subconscious level he is afraid that the reality of China will not meet the idealistic vision his uncle imparted upon him. Traveling to China might actually go a long way towards helping him grow beyond the personality shaping he suffers from. Ultimately, Bobby believes that all things can be settled by honorable personal combat, but on the other hand if ever defeated by a non-Chinese he will rationalize some event or circumstance which invalidates his defeat; typically he believes his opponent cheated or had help, or used a cowardly/dishonorable tactic such as firearms or low blows like groin kicks.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:{Kansas twang ON}"Wax THIS off, jackass!"; "One more Kung Fu comment out of you and you'll never walk again, get it?"{Kansas twang OFF}</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, Bobby's parents owned and operated a Chinese restaraunt throughout his childhood. Bobby's father Lo Han left Taiwan by stowing away on a cargo liner in 1950 to start a new life rather than stay in Taiwan with his family, which was part of Chiang Kai-Shek's power structure. When he was discovered, he managed to talk his way into becoming a kitchen boy, and later a cook to earn his keep. Lo changed his name to Larry, and had quite an interesting life before ending up in Kansas in 1969 and gaining U.S. citizenship after marrying Ellie Chong, a 3rd generation Chinese-American Berkely student Larry met in San Francisco while on a port call. Ellie's family had settled in Kansas during the early days of the rail boom and were both extended and quietly affluent, inobtrusively owning several establishments in Topeka and the surrounding area. After marrying Ellie, Larry moved to Topeka and opened a restaraunt with money he had saved and with assistance from the Chongs, and was quite happy. As a boy, Larry had witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese during WW2, the corruption of the Kai-shek regime, the rise of Mao Tse-tung's Communists, and during his naval travels he had visited many ports of call and met many interesting people; he lacked any ethnocentricity and had a very anthropological perspective on people and thier cultures. He liked America and accepted both the positive and negative aspects of life in his new adopted country. He and Ellie had 5 children over the next 6 years, from thier first in 1969 to thier last in 1975, 4 girls and finally a son; Bobby Cho. Life was good for the Cho's. In 1978 however Larry's older brother Lo Wu showed up on thier doorstep. Wu had grown up to take thier father's place among the inner circle of Chiang Kai-shek's secret police. With the death of Chiang in 1975, Wu was forced to flee the wrath of Kai-shek's son Chiang Ching-Kuo, who Wu had made a personal enemy of by hampering several bids towards early succession. Using his political and intelligence assets, Wu had managed to track down his brother several years previous but had not made contact at that time. Unlike Larry, Wu was steeped in ethnocentrisity to the bone, believing all things Chinese to be superior to any other race or culture. Larry did not want his brother's presense, but could not honorably turn him away in accordance with Chinese tradition. Wu kept a low profile, being in the country illegally, and soon found himself bored with nothing to do but watch the infant Bobby, his only nephew and the last male Cho, drool and make noises. Wu ignored the boy at first, but came to the realization that since he himself had no sons, and since "Larry" was not instructing his children in proper Chinese behaviour, it was his responsibility to mold young Bobby into what a Cho should be. Thus began Bobby's inculcation and training. In addition to the Martial Arts training he imparted upon his nephew, Wu also taught him deceit, ruthlessness, and a deepseated sense of superiority to non-Chinese peoples. When Bobby was 19 his beloved Uncle Wu passed away; on his deathbed Wu made Bobby promise to "restore honor" to his family name by gaining wealth and power. Bobby began his criminal career soon thereafter, starting small with local crime, mostly in the drug trade. When he discovered his son was involved in such affairs, Larry confronted him and ordered him to desist; Bobby refused, and Larry cast him out of the house. Bobby was heartbroken, but kissed his sisters goodbye and set out for the big cities of the world, working for crime bosses, striking out on his own, and even working for VIPER for awile before selling them out and moving on. He still keeps in touch with his sisters, but has never made amends with his father. Bobby has made quite a name for himself as a supervillain, evading capture on all occasions, hospitalizing the Silver Avenger of New Orleans, and defeating several would-be Martial Arts based heros.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Bobby (Wu) practices a form of Kung Fu developed by his family over the course of several hundred years and passed down through the generations. More a collection of useful techniques amalgamated from other styles and forms than a distinct style unto itself, it is both flexible and fluid. The core style is specific to the Cho family, but over the course of several centuries it has spread among extended family and been taught to outsiders as well; due to its mutability, the style has many variations. Knowledgable martial artists will recognize it as a style of Kung Fu, but very little else. In addition to his amazing martial arts ability, Bobby's reflexes and speed are clearly superhuman. However he does not believe himself to be superhuman; like many superior martial artists he cites Chi mastery as the source of his powers. He does not detect as a Mutant. In combat he uses his blinding speed to disable opponents, often with a Nerve Strike. Though at some level he would rather concentrate on other martial artists and defeat them in single combat, his Uncle stressed practicality when dealing with threats. Therefore Bobby will focus on blasters, mentalists, and other non-physical types where his fighting abilities will be most overpowering and to prevent them from using thier powers upon him. When working with a team, Bobby will issue orders imperiously, and gets very angry after a mission if those orders were not followed. Due to his contempt for all things non-Chinese, he does not respect the ideas or positions of most team mates, and does not take orders well.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: Bobby is an angry young Chinese-American with phenomenal martial arts abilities and a huge chip on his shoulder.</td></tr></table>

That was the last time Sean ever cried though, from that moment on he refused to let anything hurt him emotionally ever again so he would never have to feel that pain again. Rory was a man of influence in the Irish mob. Over the years as he watched his boys grow up he saw in Sean much of himself and had decided early on that when Sean was old enough he would show him the ropes. When Sean hit puberty his body under went the normal changes of growing up and at the same time revealed Sean to be a mutant. Sean had been subconsciously distancing himself from the real world since his mother's death. When he was 13 yrs old his dad was out on buisiness; Sean and Joseph were home alone. The boys found one of their dad's guns and being boys they started playing with it. Sean's power was discovered when Joseph accidentally fired the gun while it was pointed at Sean. Only the bullet didn't kill Sean as it should have, it didn't even hurt him because Sean and Joseph discovered an invisible force field protecting Sean. They immediately told their dad as soon as he walked in the door what had happened and he was just as surprised the boys were. Not knowing exactly how this was possible and not really caring Rory made the boys swear to never ever tell another soul about Sean's newfound power. As the years passed Sean tried to discover everything he could do with this new found ability. When Sean turned 16 Rory began taking him along on jobs. Rory saw in Sean a potential to rise in the ranks of the mob, live a better life, and give Joseph the chance to go to college and really make something of himself. On Sean's first time out everyone called him "The Rookie" or just "Rookie" and the name stayed with him. As predicted Sean skyrocketed through the rank and files of the mob and became an elite trouble-shooter and fixer for the mob. Among the underworld as Sean and his abilities became well known, his nick-name changed from "The Rookie" to the "The Rook" or just "Rook" which Sean liked better then his original one, and his future was secured. He was respected by his peers, the upper echelons, and feared by his rivals. When Sean turned 27 Joseph was 18 and graduated from high school and was accepted to the college he wanted. Rory threw a big party for his "college boy" and life could not have been better for the Sullivans. Unfortunately for the Sullivans life can also be cruel. Vincent Tolintine; one of Sean's enemies decided that this party was the perfect place to catch Sean unawares and settle up an old score for good. Vinnie and a few of his friends hit the party fast and hard and in the ensuing blood bath Sean lost the only two people left in the world that he loved. Rory and Joseph were both killed in the hit and Sean snapped. He went on a murderous hunt for the ones responsible and he took any steps needed to track them down. He killed anyone who stood between him and Vinnie that tried to stop him. The family warned Sean that his determination to get vengeance was going to start a war with many other powerful families. They tried getting Sean to agree to settling for just Vinnie but Sean would have none of it. He wanted all those responsible dead and he wouldn't settle for anything less. Sean failed to heed the warnings of his superiors. After it was all said and done Sean was approached by the Don and told he was no longer welcomed in the family or the neighborhood. Out of respect for the Sullivan?s' years of loyalty to the family, the Don allowed Sean to stay until after the funeral services. Rory and Joseph's funerals were held soon after. While Sean stood there watching the caskets be lowered into the ground and listening to the Priest's benediction Sean questioned why God would take his brother and leave him to live. Sean's never believed he or his old man were going to heaven but his baby brother was a different story all together. If ever there was someone who should have lived a long and happy life it was Joseph. Sean needed answers to these questions and so after the funeral he confronted the priest with them. Father O'Malley did his best to console Sean and tried to explain the will of God. Father O'Malley talked of how the wages of sin must be paid before we leave this mortal coil and that perhaps God had need of Sean and his gift. When Sean asked Father O'Malley if everyone was capable of redemption the Father merely smiled and said "As long as you are truly penitent when asking for forgiveness my son and always do your best and care for your fellow man then God's mercy and love knows no bounds". The Father struck a cord inside Sean, from that moment on Sean was changed man. As Sean turned to leave Father O'Malley gave Sean one last piece of advice in following God's will... "Do unto others my son". Sean smiled as he looked the Father in the eye and said "I always have Father". The next day Sean said what few good byes he had to make and left town. Sean arrived in MIllenium city only recently and unsure of what to do next he looked up a friend of Father O'Malley. Father Mulcahey was very much like Father O'Malley in many ways and Sean took to him right away. Father Mulcahey helped Sean find a place to live and a job at a HOME DEPOT store. Sean has no idea how he is supposed to redeem himself in the eyes of God. When he asked Father Mulcahey about it the Father only said that Sean would have to work that out with God on his own. So Sean has decided to become Millenium city's latest hero of the people. He plans to protect those who can't protect themselves, help out whenever, however, and where he can... as long as he doesn't have to wear one of those costumes the other heroes seem to like wearing. So far Sean hasn't really tested himself against another "superbeing" of any kind. His list of heroic deeds includes freeing some people trapped in a wrecked car, rescuing a handful of people from a burning apartment, and retrieving one little girl's cat from a tree (yeah that crap really does happen). Sean doesn't consider these to be acts of heroism, just what anyone would do in his place if they were able. The other people in his neighborhood don't seem to agree with Sean. He's noticed he is getting a different kind of respect now than the kind he was used to. Sean now spends his free time patrolling the neighborhood looking for trouble. He has stopped a number of break-ins, harassed a few of the local drug dealers by packaging them up for the cops and then making an anonymous 911 call. He knows he'll never stop it all or clean up the city completely but he'll do what he can.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Sean's mutant power is most likely psionic based on the current data. Sean probably possesses the potential to develop other "common psionic powers" as well. Sean's force field was his first power to manifest. This was likely due to the emotional and mental distancing Sean placed on himself after his mother died. Because of this Sean created a psychic barrier around himself that might literally seperate him from the rest of reality. This force field gives Sean some protection if not outright immunity to most attacks.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: </td></tr></table>

History: Jessica Well's parents were always proud of her. They refered to her constantly as their little 'smarty pants'. Well, she was, Jessica's IQ was quite high, and by the age of 10, she'd done everything needed to be done in the academic circle. She graduated college with degrees in
advanced robotics, electronics, and a host of others. She began to work for a leading technologies firm, making battlesuits, taking government contracts. She was their golden child, and they treated her as such. Eight years later, she met 'Paul Hutchkin', an up and comer.

He was certainly bright but no genius, a fact which Paul could never seen to shake all the while they dated and were engaged. Two months before the wedding, Paul called off the engagement. He said he couldn't live in Jessica's massive shadow anymore, and their was the height difference, which Jessica knew was complete garbage. Paul had been somewhat taken a back by her height of 3 ft 4 inches before, but he'd gotten used to it. She tried to stay friends with Paul, and he was mostly agreeable, but Jessica never completely moved on, and Paul knew it. When Paul met one of the more 'brilliant' system techs in 'G' sector, he helped her get the recognition she needed by the higher ups, and soon Paul and Meridith was working together on the battlesuit system that had been Jessica and Paul's project. Jessica took work in another sector of the company, she could no longer stand to be around Merideth. She hated her.

Well, she knew it wasn't her fault, and she didn't want to 'hate' her..but at times she did. Since she was twelve, Jessica had developed low level empathic abilities. So, when she could feel the love from Paul to Merideth, that she had once been able to feel towards her, it hurt a bit worse than most. One day, while at work, Jessica was contacted by a man that identified himself as 'The Benefactor'. He brought to light that some of the more 'advanced' designs, supposedly
going to Primus, were, in fact, being shunted to VIPER. The Benefactor offered her a deal, work for him as an agent and disrupt these plans going to VIPER, and she could have free reign to develop whatever types of Battlesuit systems she wished.

Jessica accepted, but remained at her job, feeding information to the 'Benefactor', and slowly developing the 'Behemoth' battlesuit, to combat the people she was working against should it become necessary. Jessica rather suspected it would become so. It was during this time that she began to use her empathic abilities more and more, and eventually her first field test of the Behemoth went well, but Jessica wanted an edge, something to surprise her opponents. She began to install artifical psionic energy stimulators into the Behemoth's systems. Though a lot
of hard work she found the stimulators could 'boost' her natural but low level empathic abilities to a level far greater than before.

So, now, when Jessica slips into Behemoth, she batters her opponents physically and mentally, which is mostly VIPER field agents. Jessica's slowly learning to enjoy her work. Though she still will likely never get 'over' Paul. Jessica keeps her new 'job' a secret even from him.

Powers: Jessica Wells is a mutant with hyper intelligence and Low level Empathic abilities. A side effect of her mutation is she stopped growing at about 3 foot, 5 inches, and will never be any taller than that. Her empathic abilities allow her to read emotions sometimes, and send out a tiny 'blast' of emotion to stun an opponent with effort. She can also sometimes...influence the emotions of others. These powers are all amplified to a practical level while inside Behemoth.

Behemoth has super human strength, and tough armor. Jessica constantly redesigns it on paper. It has no 'weapon' systems to speak of. Jessica sits within Behemoth's chest cavity and operates the suits from a neural feedback harness.

Behemoth appears to be a humanoid battle suit, just over 9 feet in height. The head has a cyclops eye in the center that acts as the video relay.

It is the power Clairsentience, For the power origin I had imagined that the Family line A long time ago faced a Fire Elemental. just before dispatching it The Elemental cursed the family line to be tortured by visions of the element at work.

Well use if his Clair is very tiring.
His first Psych lim is Hunts Fire / Flame useing villians

useing HD v 1.31
I will go back to my copy and see if the descriptions are there. I know you will suggest I go 1.43, but I need to know how to transport the update by floppy medium, my only option, by multiple disk. As the .jar eclipses 1.4 m disk storage
Any help would be great.

As the power lets him try, it jumps around to the most powerful "event / thing" because those are easiest to see.

If I were GMing the power while the character might get clues of who, what, where; the When and How are elements that all the detecting and action come from.

I thought that a very powerful but hhighly limiyed power would be better for game play/
Visions the character might get may use the Microscopic to detect chemical trace combustion or use tghe the detect / analyze to rule out all use of materials, leading the character to thin k spsionic or mystic motis.

May 21st, '03, 12:16 AM

Apply No Conscious Control for the sort of effect you are talking about, and perhaps remove the END cost for a Side Effect instead so the player doesnt feel like he's getting bush whacked whenever the power activates.

As for Updating, do you mean to imply that the computer that you have HD installed on is not connected to the Internet, and you have to download the updates on a seperate computer and then copy them over to the computer with HD on it?

Hmmm. well, other than the obvious suggestions like a) get the other computer on the Internet b) get a CD burner c) get some kind of larger temporary media storage like ZIP disks or flash cards, I dont know what to tell you.

Used to there was an option with Zip files to span multiple disks, but honestly its been so many years now since I last even heard of someone having to use that ability that I cant recall the whys and wherefores......we're talking at least 9 years or more

As a matter of fact it may have been a DOS feature, not zip.

Anyone?

Now he looks like a gleaming golden human male with silver hair, green eyes, a deep blue cloak, white trunks, boots and gloves. He also has an uncanny resemblance to an idealized version of the morbane whose soul sliver possessed him in the first place.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Phaedriade is a kind and generous artificail man. He has grown alot in the five years of his existance. He still yearns to understand the motivations an machinations of man but feels he has found his place in the world. </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:I fear that your intentions, Mechanon, do not coincide with my instincts. This confrontation will lead to violence if you do not leave.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: The sentient construct known as Pheadriade (Shining One) began "his" (he has chosen the male gender as that was the gender of the human who bonded him)existance over five years ago as a powerful achemical artifact known as the Philosopher's Stone. A DEMON morbane who had managed to unearth the stone during an extensive campaign accidentally shunted his "good side" into the stone in an attempt to bring himself to greater heights of dark glory; and possibly as a vessal for one of the elder gods he worshipped. The ritual went badly, the stone recieved a bit of his soul, his body did not become a vessal for an elder god, but instead was used by a violent demonic force. Insane with pain and hatred, the former morbane slew his entire cell and embarked on a rampage in the nearby "company" town of Darrensburgh, OR (fictional town folks). The nacent soul of the stone slowly began to cause it to take a vague human form. Wrapping itself in one of the cloaks of a fallen morbane; the knewly 'born' construct left the base. Due to an overwhemling sense of purpose, the construct confronted and destroyed the demon. After the battle it took off in search of a new purpose. Over time it began to develope a personae, and as he began to take shape psychologically he began to take shape physically. Once a rough hewn stone humanoid the constrcut has metamorphasized towards a shining, handsome metallic man. He has changed his name a few times; but when he joined the Defenders, the local team in the northwest, he chose Phaedriade. </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: His ability to manipulate matter is Phaedriade's most potent ability. However, he tries to avoid wanton destruction and his abilities tend towards the altering or destroying of matter. He often plays the part of a brick, then uses his abilities to repair the damage done when the combat is over. </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: A "Data" wannabe with great powers. He is quite potent and the potential to disrupt campaigns with his abilities is there. He will not use his abilities to kill, as a matter of fact his limtation (only vs Nonorganic Matter) on his Distinigration ability is mostly psychological, not any limitation on the power itself. If copied or mimmicked it might not have that limitation. If he is too powerful for your campaign drop the Disintigration to 2d6 and cap the Multipower at 90 points. if he's not tough enough, raise the MP to 250 ppints, his Strength to 60 and the Variable Advantage as well. Check out the UNTIL SUPERPOWERS DATABASE for more Matter Manipulation Abilities.</td></tr></table>

One Alien Prince in Exile with Cosmic Power, ready to rumble. Since he's a cosmic-powered character, I decided to make him a bad guy and a master-villain type. Sadly, I do not possess the Hero Designer thingy, so I can't put that up. :(

The planet Zounia exists over a thousand light-years away from Earth. The Zounians are a race of natural shapeshifters; any Zounian can make himself look like any race of being, and thus the Zounians are employed the galaxy over as spies and assassins. For centuries the Zounian people were ruled over by the dynasty of the N'Harzhakar. The N'Harzhakar brutally oppressed the Zounians for their own benefit and amusement.
In the time of the 22nd N'Harzhakar ruler (the short periods of rulership compared to the typical Zounian life span of 200 years, typically 15 years per monarch, were due to the numerous assassinations), the prince Zqikkl was born. Zqikkl was exception for two reasons: first, he was cruel and evil even for a N'Harzhakar, and second, he possessed shapeshifting powers that were incredible, even for a Zounian. Unlike the other Zounians who could merely disguise their features, or at most, with practice, slip through cracks, Zqikkl could actually modify his basic composition. More surprisingly, Zqikkl could extend his abilities to others. Zqikkl was also immensely physically and mentally gifted; he never really tried to apply his skills to anything but his own enjoyment but he could easily have become one of his world's most brilliant scientists or most talented athletes.
During this time, one of the many rebellions faced by the N'Harzhakar came onto the scene. Unlike the other rebellions, this one was successful, toppling the monarch and placing a democratically elected Senate in charge for the first time in anyone's memory. When the rebellion came, Zqikkl at first tried to fight the impudent rebels, but, outnumbered, was forced to retreat. He ran back to the royal treasury, and suddenly had an idea for how to escape. He transformed his own body into a space anamoly, a wormhole, and traveled through it with as much of the royal treasury as he could fit.
Zqikkl eventually arrived, after months of travel, on a small backwater planet covered largely in water. He assumed the form of a native, and quickly picked up the speech patterns of the primitive humanoids living there. He liquidated some of the valuables in the royal treasury for native currency, and used the funds along with his immense charisma to gather a cult of worshippers who treated him as a god, called the Stargazers. Zqikkl learned that he could use his powers to change the shape of his followers as well, granting them new abilities, and has been experimenting with such mutations [note: this is a use of Control Shapes], getting some powerful results, some lethal results, and some results he finds humorous. Zqikkl has also taken to calling himself Achelous, after the figure of Greek mythology.
Zqikkl quickly grew bored with mere worship, and has embarked on a plan to gather as much wealth and power as possible. His plan is to get as many superhumans in his service, whether by blackmail, hiring them as mercenaries, tricking them into helping him, or however else is possible, and then launch a crusade to recapture Zoun. Of course, Zqikkl also wants to enjoy himself on his "vacation" to Earth, and will engage in whatever activities (such as torture, or toying with superheroes for no particular reason) that he finds amusing.
Unbeknownst to Zqikkl, the Zounian rebels have managed to track him to the Earth, and are planning to exterminate him before his plans come to completion. Unfortunately for them, they don't have the capacity to take him down by themselves, especially not with his fanatical cultists. Therefore, they are trying to help local law enforcement or superheroes track down and defeat Zqikkl, rather than fighting him themselves.

Lord Eldritch has pointy ears with no lobes and three fingers on each hand with an opposable thumb, and four toes on each foot. He moves with an inhuman grace and, typical of his race, can hold perfectly still for days on end, which is disconcerting to humankind who tend to be more animated in thier movements. Lord Eldritch dresses in rich garments of unusual styles native to his home dimension, which he manufactures with his mastery of dimensional energies.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Lord Eldritch wants his dimension back, and he doesnt care what has to happen to make that come about. Istvatha V'han must be made to pay for her transgression in his balliwick.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:"Cease your prattling, primitive. I am the Lord Eldritch; I was watching stars being born 2000 dimensions away from here when your 6 times removed anceastors were farming dirt and throwing feces to scare away wild beasts. Do not deign to banter words with me, lest ye seek your doom forthrightly."</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Eldrith Volstraad was born 300+ years ago in a dimension many times removed from our own. His people, who call themselves the Sidhe, are skilled dimensional travelers and manipulators of dimensional energies, and he was born into a powerful House renowned for the power of its members. As he grew to manhood, Eldrith proved to have phenomenal natural talent in the Dimensional arts, and to be a gifted student of the martial arts as well, mastering the style of his house by the tender age of 35. By the time he was past his childhood, at age 60, he had proven his skills time and again, besting his peers and even his teachers on many occasions in all manner of tests and challenges. Due to his incredible talent, he was chosen to become an apprentice to Zorstrand Dhorakat, the Magus Maximus of Eldrith's dimension, traditionally known as Lord Eldritch. After 150 years of apprenticeship and journeymanship, Zorstrand chose Eldrith as his successor from all his many disciples and allowed his ancient body to finally expire. Upon accepting the mantle of the Lord Eldritch, Volstraad also gained the unquestioning protection of the formidable warrior known as the Outcast, who had sworn his life to protecting the office of that dimension's Magus Maximus a millenia prior. Eldrith was certainly the most powerful wielder of dimensional energies living within his dimension at that time, but he was also the most arrogant and self centered. He took to his position with a certain assumption of authority that rankled many. The better part of another century passed with little disturbance of the dimension, during which the new Lord Eldritch continued his studies and visited other nearby dimensions to learn more about the macroverse and his place within it. In his travels he became aware of the cross-dimensional conqueror Istvatha V'han, but sure of his own power he did not feel any particular alarm at her existance. He was certain that he could easily destroy any threat she sent his way, and that his dimension would never fall to her. He even refused several requests for assistance from the Magi Maximi of neighboring dimensions, too Arrogant to lend aid and never expecting the need to request the same. Those who fell to Istvatha V'han were weak, and no concern of his. Then Istvatha V'han came for his dimension. At first he relished the opportunity to truly test his power against a large scale threat, and swept into battle with her forces. By the time the dimension had completely fallen into her hands less than a year later despite the best efforts of all the dimension's native wielders of dimensional might, Lord Eldritch was exhausted and without options. He was forced to flee the dimension at the last, lest he be captured. Traveling around the omniverse, visiting dimensions not controlled by Istvatha V'han, he heard tale of a dimension that had successfully turned Istvatha V'han away not once, but twice! He has since made his way to that dimension and is trying to determine why this dimension, which has few people capable of bending dimensional energies to thier will, who are so primitive as to disbelieve in dimensional energies outright, or worse, confuse thier study of them with all manner of strange and obstruce superstitious belief, was able to repulse the attacks of the Dominator of the Dimensions, Istvatha V'han. He has made contact with the Magus Maximus of this strangely backwards dimension, the Lord Arcane, and is trying to rally support from the more powerful members of the dimension to assist him in retaking his own dimension. Unfortunately, his hugely overweening arrogance has not won him much support among those he has surruptitiously approached thus far. </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Lord Eldritch is what would be considered a magic user to the citizens of the Champions Universe dimension, but an extremely advanced one. To Lord Eldritch's perspective, he merely manipulates dimensional energies directly. To him this is an act no different than walking or breathing is to a normal human of the CU dimension. He is extremely powerful, able to will just about any effect imaginable into existance.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: Lord Eldritch is an interesting protagonist/antagonist. He is not a villain per se, but on the other hand his moral code is so altered that many acts which he wouldnt think twice about and would never be made accountible for in his home dimension excite extreme censure in the CU dimension. Foremost among those acts is that of casual killing; in his home dimension he has the ultimate power over life and death, he can choose to kill anyone he wants as a perk of his position. If he deems someone is a threat to the dimension, thats all it takes and since he is seen as the ultimate expert of such no one would ever seriously bring him to task for it. In the CU dimension however, that means that any one who threatens his work to rally support with which to oust Istvatha V'han from his dimension is inviting death by his hand. He would feel justified in such a killing, but to others that dont share his concerns it would be considered outright murder. Ultimately, Lord Eldritch provides an extra-dimensional source of adventure, either as a protagonist or as an antagonist, that doesnt carry the massive infrastructure of a character like Istvatha V'han.</td></tr></table>

His Sidhe grandfather Forioni Rama always detested the strange half-breed child and cast the boy out of his House as soon as he achieved his adulthood at age 60. Throughout this time Sol-lash was denied the training and attention normally the birthright of any true Sidhe, and was mocked and harrassed by the other children. If he ever used his freakish strength to teach them a lesson, he was punished severely for it by his elders. Exiled from his home, he wnadered the world of the Sidhe, seeking to find his place. Finally, he came to the attention of the Magus Maximus of the Unkari Dimension, wherein the world of the Sidhe existed. The Magus Maximus of that time was seeking allies to fight off the depradations of dimensional raiders, and saw value in the incredible strength of Sol-lash Rama. The Outcast at first did not believe that the Magus Maximus had any real use for him, thinking that it was yet another cruel prank played by yet another arrogant Sidhe youth. But when he came to realize that the offer was real, he was filled with eternal gratitude and gladly pledges not only service in the oncoming battle, but a lifetime of service to the Magus Maximus of the Unkari Dimension, until his death.

Personally, I think the Axe should get the armor piercing. The reason being, Axes have the capability of cleaving through helms and the like, due to the weight centered on the heavy head. With enough force behind it, it just Splits armor.

Then again, I guess it just depends on the sword then. :)

Fair enough. I was coming at it from the perspective that the sword is more precise and strikes at joints and openings, whereas the axe slams down with a heavy impact. I also considered leaving off on the advantages and just having the Axe be another d6 of killing.

It all depends on how you look at it.

For instance, a mace could be armor piercing, or penetrating, simply because the armor doesn't protect as much from the crushing blows that break stuff under the armor. Same for a morning star, because while it does what a mace can do, it also punctures things with the spikes.

Ya, I know. It doesnt really matter what you call the power construct; its just a slot with a different way of inflicting damage than the other slots.

I just made the Axe do an extra D6 instead of being advantaged. Works out.

I actually meant the bodyguard too. The Outcast is pretty cool, one of my favorite parts of Eldritch. I kinda counted The Outcast as part of Eldritch. Again: Spiffy!

Robert Nash has short white hair and pinkish-white eyes naturally, as he appears to be an albinoid as a side effect of his mutation (although he actually suffers no ill effect from such). His features are nordic, chiseled and stern. He is muscular and abnormally tall at 6'6" in his normal form.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Militant and direct.

You can chose to be either a willing combatant or a walking breathing casualty to the cause; its up to you to determine your own level of involvement."</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Born in 1976 in Nova Scotia, Robert Nash's parents moved to America when he was 12, settling in Maine. They lived a fairly normal life, with the small exception of Robert's "albinism". In 1994 however the families remote rural home was attacked mercilessly by Minutemen robots! Robert's parents Frida and Albert were killed instantly, but Robert's latent mutant abilities were triggered by the stress of the situation and he managed to destroy several Minutemen with vast superhuman strength before fleeing. With nowhere to go, he was chased through the hinterlands by IHA agents and Minutemen, but was rescued by the mutant group called M-Force, which opposes IHA when it can. White Dwarf was trained in the use of his powers and joinged M-Force, taking part in many battles against the IHA, seeking vengeance for the deaths of his parents. Robert makes no secret of his real identity, as he has no one close to him left to strike at. He has risen to become a warleader among M-Force, and is currently assigned to recruiting new members, a task he undertakes alone.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: White Dwarf has the mutant power to compact his atoms closer together. This process causes him to both become smaller and denser simultaneously. He also emits a bright blinding light uncontrollably when he does this, which seems to be a by product of his molocules being forced closer together. This process is not instantaneous, taking about a minute to progress to full compresion. Being fully compressed also causes some stress to White Dwarfs body, and can eventually knock him out. Once he is knocked unconscious, he immediately resumes his normal size. White Dwarf has no powers in his "normal" non-compressed form. At full compresion, White Dwarf is phenomenally strong, but his small stature can make it somewhat difficult to interact with normal sized objects. As a side effect of his small size and molocular density however White Dwarf is able to punture many conventional forms of armor and cause significant damage. White Dwarf's greatest drawback is a lack of battle field mobility. Also, his powers are not completely under controlled or reliable. He also seems to be sensitive to Sonic vibrations.

Background Story: The falsetto rasp of the aluminum rings on the bar as the curtain drew open then closed roused Father Popieluszko from his troubled thoughts, but the voice from behind the confessional grate quickly called him back to them.

"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been two days since my last confession."

It always took Father Popieluszko a moment to recognize Novice Kowalska’s words. The voice that bore them was so pure in tone, yet stirred by hidden harmonies, that it was like losing oneself in the lullaby of a mountain brook only to realize it was speaking to you.

"There was some trouble at Vespers last night, Sister?"

Against the grate of the confessional pressed the black hood of the girl’s habit as she leaned her head down in misery. "Oh, Father, is God angry with me?" she sobbed.

"No, child," Father Popieluszko whispered soothingly. "He may have been angry with Sister Theresa’s pots or the flowers within them, but He is not angry with you. God glories in your singing."

"But why did the pots shatter?" As Maria’s quiet anguish took on an edge of anger, Father Popieluszko could feel the frustration of her words thrumming against his sternum. The curtain rings began to shimmy in agitation. "And what about Sister Helena last week?"

"Softly, child, softly . . ." He waited for her to take a ragged breath and then a calmer one. "Sister Helena is fine, just a lingering headache. And we have no idea whether it was your singing that caused her pain. The doctors want to keep her in the hospital for a few more days before making any judgments."

Sister Maria paused for a moment before whispering, "I should stop attending Vespers and Matins."

Father Popieluszko’s voice grew sterner. "Sister, we have discussed this before. It is your duty to God to attend. Do you not think it pleases Him to hear the gift he has blessed you with? Would you be so ungrateful for that gift?"

"It is not a gift!" The brass grate moaned as it buckled inward. Father Popieluszko’s breath rushed from him as her shout buffeted his chest. A trickle of blood slowly wound its way from his nose and onto his lip. "Oh, Father!" Her voiced dropped to the merest whisper, yet it still filled the confessional as if her regret poured from a hundred abject mouths. "Father, I am so sorry."

He pulled a handkerchief from under his robes to staunch his nosebleed. He had come prepared. "Sometimes a different light is required to admire the beauty of God’s gifts—"

"Oh, Father, please don’t make me leave!" She gripped the grate with pleading hands. Dirt from the garden darkened her nails. Her blue eyes cringed in fear.

"The only one who can make the choice to leave is you. But, Maria," he said, his voice a mixture of paternal compassion and demand, "it is time to think upon why God gave you this gift. Was it so that you could shatter Sister Theresa’s pots during Vespers or was it for some other purpose?"

"But, Father, I have only two months left in my novitiate. I take my vows this summer!"

"Shhh . . . There is nothing I wish more than to witness those vows. But it is God’s wishes we must ascertain." Father Popieluszko reached forward to brush her fingers with his own. She released her grip on the grate and let her hands fall to her lap. "Now, to atone for your sins against pottery, I assign you one ‘Our Father.’ However, on this other matter, I suggest you keep vigil with your rosary tonight until the answer comes to you."

"And what if the answer doesn’t come, Father?" Her voice attempted frailty and hesitation, but its power could not be disguised. Much like the child herself, Father Popieluszko thought.

"Sister, God has already placed the answer within your heart. It is up to you to summon the courage to find it." Father Popieluszko heard a sigh then a rustle of cloth as Maria rose from her knees. "Sister, before you go . . ."

"Yes, Father?"

"Sing me a song."

Sister Maria giggled with shy pleasure, then drew a deep breath and filled the confessional with God’s sweet, soft glory. Father Popieluszko smiled while at the same time his eyes wept at the knowledge that he would never hear her sing again.

Quote: "I sing in the name of God’s love, not in the name of His vengeance."

Quote About Her: "Her voice is the voice of an angel. But she's still so innocent..." -- Father Janosh Popieluszko

Personality: Maria is not where she wishes to be. She longs to be back at the convent in the garden pulling weeds or in the kitchen baking loaves of bread. Most of all, she longs to stand with her fellow sisters singing Vespers as the day winds to night. But, as she cannot forsake God’s gift, she has chosen to employ it as best she can while trying desperately to retain the peace and simplicity of her earlier life.

Her wistful longing for that life leads many to believe that Maria is not fit for the rigors that await her—but they are mistaken For while her heart remains that of the young Polish girl who would awake each morning in tearful joy at the sound of the church bells, her body and spirit were attuned to grimmer tidings in her childhood.

There was little joy besides the Church for a child in Crakow, Poland, in the years following the White Event. Hunger, cold and violence trailed Maria like a mournful dirge throughout her youth. She resisted the dirge’s numbing call long enough for her to find sanctuary in the convent. Now she must face that dirge again as she hopes to dispel it from the lives of all the Church’s faithful servants with her song.

Appearance: Maria Kowalska is a small woman, seemingly too frail a vessel to contain such a powerful voice. The only things about her that approach the size of her voice are her heart and her blue eyes. Maria is a model of modesty from her bun of hair to her floor length dark skirts. She is never without the rosary she received at the convent.

Powers: Choir has a voice capable of a wide range of sonic abilities. To harness these abilities, the trainers at the Guardians academy helped her develop different "hymns" to focus her powers.

Let's see... next challenge.

How about a Patriot archetype. Make him the incarnation of the glamour of Circus Life.

He has blonde hair and blue eyes. His costume is a silver body suit with black piping on the legs and arms. He wears white gloves, boots, and belt; a red mask and three golden rings adorn his chest in a triangle that points downwards. He adds to this a golden cape with a high collar.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Jason's mission of vengence now over, he has taken to the spotlight of being a superhero. He still performs with local carnivals and circuses as a guest when he has time. He no longer has an all consuming goal and therefore can come across as lacksadasical.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:The difference between you and me Nighthawk; its that people LIKE to see me.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Born to a circus family, Jason Kelly was the fifth generation to perform for a living. At the age of 15 he made his debut. Of course, with superbeings to gawk at, the Circus wasn't the draw it once was. Jason and his family worked a Circus themed hotel/casino in Las Vegas, they performed 2 shows a night 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year. The owners of the hotel were in debt to their ears; it did well, but they were financial incompetants and their "side investments" routinely went bust. Jason's life was the Circus, he had done a little of everything, worked with animals, his family's acrobatics & high wire acts, clowning, even strongman stunts. When the owners of the Hotel finally hit bottom, they attempted to burn their hotel to the ground and use the insurance money to cover their debts. Tragically, this, like their investments, was bungled horribly. One hundred and fourteen people lost their lives in the fire, including Jason's family. Jason, saved by the most miraculous of coincidences, was taken in by the survivors. He left the show life and went to college on a gymnastics scholarship to UCLA. It was during his college years that he found out that the fire that had claimed his parents and the only life he had ever known was arson. Although he knew who was responsible, and it was suspected by many; no proof linking the owners to the fire was ever found. Jason, hoping to avenge the memories of his fallen family cobbled together a costume and began poking his nose around Vegas. Eventually, he found a connection between the owners of the hotel, and VIPER; it was then that he was able to solve the case, making a serious enemy of VIPER in the process. Enjoying the thrill of being a costumed hero, he altered his costumed identity towards the flashier Showman.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: A trained acrobat and martial artist, Jason is surprisingly strong and has excellent timing. He generally hops back and forth throughout combat smacking his foes and making one liners.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: Hey, every campaign needs a circus themed hero right? Right?</td></tr></table>

Check the FAQ; its legal. It just means that they both have to be used together; normally you can choose not to use the linked power.

Limitations FAQ
Q: Can a character Link two powers to each other, so that neither power can be used without the other?

A: As an optional rule, yes. The lesser power would take the standard -1/2 Limitation; the greater power a -1/4 Limitation. GM’s approval is required.

Oh, sorry, I have been working on C++ and my Fighting Game Hero Universe all day. Lets see a challenge....

A legacy hero (youngun) who's parent was a silver age villain. Post both the Villain and thier Heroic Progeny. While it would be nice if they had the same or similar powers, I won't hold you to a powerset because I am tired and cant think of one.

Be aware fellow heros... What is it with the hygiene issues some of our fellow gamers have? My wife hates to go with me to the FLGS because she can't stand the odor of sweaty, unwashed geeks.

Water stifles creativity? I dunno. It's an enigma. IMO people in general need to take more baths, not less, and use less perfume (I have a sensitive nose). Nothing like a 350lb geek eating cheese puffs (with that gunk all over thier hands) while talking with thier mouth full and reeking like theyve never seen a bar of soap to make the hobby look cool ;)

I was working at KublaCon Memorial weekend, and we sell OGL Soap (It's a gag thing), anyway, this lady comes up to the booth and asks for a bar for her son. I say yea it's a great gag gift, and she says you got the gag part right. She said she was buying it for her son in the hopes that he would actually bathe... is that sad or what? :(

There's an export template you choose when exporting. It is actualy entitled HERO Boards, or something close. KS has begun putting it all in a table, to make the snazy borders. I don't know if he's actually modified an export template though. Check the Free Stuff page / HD Export Templates for the latest and greatest.

Hope I helped. :)

SO where's those Silver Aged Progeny?????

Under Free Stuff there is a zip called ExportTemplatesKS which contains 4 of my templates including a HERO Boards template with the background fields.

One great-uncle was a member of the Untouchables, various uncles, cousins, and second cousins hold positions ranging from beat cop to district chief. His father and older brother were both shot in the line of duty. All he ever wanted to do with his life was to follow in his father’s footsteps, and become a police officer as well.

During high school Thomas took part in the Sheriff's Explorers program in addition to his other passion, the marching band, and was all lined up to transition smoothly into the Police Academy after high school. He aced the entrance exam, but out of nowhere failed the physical due to a heart murmur he hadn't even known he had. Devastated, Thomas left the Academy and slowly wandered the streets in a daze. Fate seemed to have a different plan for young Thomas than being a police officer however, for as he drifted down a deserted alley in his stupor he was blinded by a very bright flash of light and felt an incredible, searing pain that dropped him to his knees and then into unconsciousness.

Thomas awoke many hours later to the sound of a woman struggling. Coming to his senses, Thomas discovered that he saw the world differently now than he had before, in much greater clarity and across a greatly expanded wavelength; he could also ?hear? radio transmissions. Looking down at his arms, his skin was metallic and his veins looked like circuitry; his fingertips were shaped like nozzles and sealed by something like an iris. And when he moved, he felt tremendously powerful and coordinated. In fact, his reaction time was so accelerated, the world seemed to be moving at half speed. Then he remembered the girl sounds. Looking to the side he saw 3 young thugs attempting to sexually assault a woman behind the shelter of a dumpster.

Moving with an alarming quickness, Thomas crossed the intervening distance in an eye blink and set into the villainous scum from behind. The first he grabbed by the back of the shirt and threw backwards across the alley into a wall, the second he struck across the face as he turned to confront Thomas, but the third pulled a gun, and without thinking Thomas reflexively fired a green bolt of energy from the fingertips of his right hand, striking the gunman squarely and propelling him backwards into the side of the dumpster which caused the lid to slam down and crush the would-be rapists head. Stunned by the suddenness of the fatality Thomas froze for a moment, but fortunately the other two goons turned tail and ran. Pulling himself together, Thomas got the girl to a rape shelter nearby, and then found his way to a corner of a quiet park near the alleyway as night settled in. The body was found that night and Detective Jamie O?Malley, one of Thomas’s uncles, took the case. Watching from the park, Thomas was haunted by the sound of the thugs head popping like a melon; it invaded any unguarded moment and wouldn?t let him rest. Finally he resolved never to take another life if it could be avoided by any means. Further, he realized if he didn?t leave town he might be forced to elude the custody of a kinsman, or worse, perhaps become in an armed conflict with him. As the thug’s death proved, Thomas couldn?t be sure of his own capabilities for mayhem; he might kill his uncle by mistake. Thus, though it pained him to do so, Thomas departed his beloved Chicago that night. At first he traveled on foot, but for some reason after awhile felt an urging which resulted in him trying to fly, and succeeding.

After reaching the outskirts of Millennium City, Thomas holed up in an abandoned warehouse and began to discover more about his state. After several days of self experimenting he discovered he could switch back to his normal form by an act of will, after finally succumbing to sleep after a week of no need to rest, and waking up normal. At first he thought the whole thing had been a dream, or that perhaps he was going crazy, but merely thinking about the other form was enough to cause his transformation back. Struck by an idea Thomas thought about being his normal self again, and after some initial difficulty he learned how to switch back and forth with a mere moments thought.

Able to blend in if necessary, Thomas went out to learn more about this new city and perhaps make a new home for himself. He found shelter at a halfway house run in South Dearborn by an kindly older priest called Father Paul Tremain, and started to get his life in order. However he quickly found himself obliged by his code of behavior to protect many innocents and victims from the despoliations of street scum of various stripes. Eventually he managed to get a trumpet from a pawn shop and started applying his only real job skill, playing the Trumpet by day in downtown Millennium city, parks, or on trains for sympathy cash, and fighting street crime by night.

After his initial foray into crime fighting, Thomas decided he needed a call sign like other superheroes have and started calling himself War-Man, for he had decided that he had been made into a holy avenger by God to carry out a war on crime. He has since rethought that, but the name stuck.

WHAT HAPPENED (Silentblac)
Across the city a set of Dr. Destroyer’s wardroids were embroiled in a fight with some hero’s, one of the sustained a massive injury to its systems and core programming. This caused it to randomly teleport away in the middle of the fight.

As Thomas was moving down the Alleyway the wardroid teleported in right on top of him causing the two of them to merge together and become one being. Then new being that stood there when the merge was complete has the abilities of the wardroid with the memories of Thomas and human emotions (though slightly subdued) of Thomas. The wardroids core programming was damaged in such a way that it no longer new who or what it was supposed to be fighting or for whom. Its systems were integrated with Thomas’s nervous system, but its CPU did not survive the merger. The resulting entity is a molecular molding of both organic and artificial properties.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: War-Man has a strange intertwined exisitance of man and machine.

Instead of listing War-Man Form over and over could you just make a list with that title and put the powers under it? It would be easier to read.

Other than that, I like the ideas.

They are already in a list (Both MAN and MACHINE) and since you cant nest lists, there you go. I could put them in a seperate list but that has overhead/clutter as well.

I just updated the HDC file for War-Man with some last minute corrections; those of you who grabbed him earlier may want to save over with the new version.....

btw, how are the export templates coming along?

Well, I don't know how 'interesting' Hardwire is; or if some of the effects I have are um, legal? but here he is.

BTW the two types of defenses the Find Weakness works against are PD and rPD. If that is redundant and unneccessary, make it PD and ED.

Background

She was raised in the icy woods of Denmark, isolated, cold and very safe indeed from the Swartalfar and all their human spies. Learning the old names and ways at the feet of her patient uncle.

"What does this one mean?" she asked
"This one, little cub, is Thurisaz. The thorn. Sharp and piercing, dangerous to the unwary."
"And this?"
"Sigel, the lightning bolt, sudden and unexpected, deadly, irresistible."

Many days, many weeks, learning the old stories, tales of the gods spoken of as familiarly as family friends who could drop in at any time. Tales of other creatures far worse, against whom the door would be barred and no mead offered.

The black suited men came in the dead of the night, wielding weapons of flesh that pulsed and oozed and hurt the eyes to look upon. Uncle Jan, hiding the teenaged Ingrid in his cellar, resisted as long as he could, bellowing charms and curses that shredded the skin and turned femurs to vipers, but the last of them finally slew him, stamping on the ravens that pulled themselves free from his dying mouth.

All pretense at humanity shrivelled away by the old shaman's magic, the last surviving of the Swartalfar tore apart the cabin with three syllables that were like thunder, and winter, and long death.

"Will your sorcery be stronger little wren?" trilled the Swartalf mockingly as the girl arose from the wreckage, pale and slight in the moon's cold illumination.

She shook her head, dumbly. Taking her silence for fear the Swartalf trickled toward her across the landscape, human-shape and cloud-of-darkness both at once.

"Let's play together," he mocked, "I'll show you where the cats go to weep."
"Weep yourself!" snapped the girl, helpless no longer as she drove her fist through the chest of the creature. Not expecting this direct, physical, *vulgar* assault the demon was helpless to withstand it. Thurisaz.

Frail shell and faerie spirit fell together, boiling into maggots on the ground. And only then did Ingrid weep for her Uncle.

Her wandering began that night, and never ended.

Personality/Motivation

Ingrid's crusade against supernatural evil has left her driven and focussed to the point of obsession. She has never bothered cultivating social contacts and is inherently suspicious of anyone that tries to get to know her too well. She believes that the weak need protecting, but at the same time she is equally convinced that they ought also to learn how to protect themselves.

Campaign Use

Aware how fragile the rational daylight world is, Ingrid has focussed all her energies on protecting the innocent from the ravages of the supernatural. Though the Swartalfar are rare in the USA they do still wield power, often choosing to manifest it through seemingly beneficient organisations and institutions (they love psychiatric hospitals).

She is a cold hearted and ruthless opponent of evil and injustice in all its forms, with a particular hatred of the supernatural.

Powers/Tactics

Ingrid plans her campaigns with the aid of the runestones, allowing her divinatory skills to lead her into the path of danger. When combat occurs she is ruthless using her most powerful attacks against those with proven supernatural origins and showing no quarter.

Quote

"Get your hand off me now. That is no doctor, but a creature of the depths. If you will stand between me and him then you declare yourself my enemy."

btw, how are the export templates coming along? LOL
Which ones?? I am in the midst of about 3 different ones.
Everything is on hold for the moment. I am building a database for a processing plant, writing a character creator for an RPG (not this one), and have a day job. Needless to say, the templates got moved to the back burner until I need a break from trying to make a living ;)

On the subject of export templates... the "Hero Boards" template in HD doesn't seem to export the background material for the character, so I had to do lots of cut/pasting for Ulfwyn (above). Am I doing something wrong, should I be using a different template?

All advice gratefully received.

All advice gratefully received. You probably want to take a look at the Free Stuff page --> Hero Designer --> Export Templates. I believe there are some updated templates you can use there. Specifically ExportTemplatesKS.zip. Killer Shrike has an updated Hero Boards Export Template that include the background info. See his various posts above to see what they look like.

Make sure the picture is added to the character in HD. Export the character as normal, and in the interface for the boards use the Attach File option to also upload the image. Then, once the post hits click on the image. A new window pops up with the image. Copy the URL. Close the window. In the original window, EDIT your characters post, and scroll down through the UPB text to the place you see <--!IF_IMAGE>. Look for the img src tag and paste the URL of the picture between the quotes provided. Update the post. Viola.

Sounds like it might be worth installing some sort of time-portal with one end in Victorian England (or elsewhere) and the other in modern day wherever. Only works for original character or his/her offspring. That way we could have a character equally estranged from both times flitting back and forth and getting into romantic scrapes and misadventures as well as dealing with Victorian mastercriminals who are strangely also adrift in time...

I quickly converted an older pulp style hero I had from 4th into 5th. The Q stood for Quantum but he got tired of villians expecting him to shoot energy or some such silliness.

His background and such are still on paper as it were. I'll try and get those up tomorrow if anyone wants them.

Background: Evan Lambarto was always the source of much confusion and concern for his family and friends. As a young child he would startle people by spontaneously scribbling solutions to problems that had many great thinkers of the time puzzled. His father, Hugo Lambarto, who was a noted doctor and thinker in his own right did his best to keep his son's childhood normal and took great pains to cover up such outbursts by releasing the findings under his own name. By the time Evan reached young adulthood his father had set aside a fairly large amount of money for use by his son. For his part Evan spent most of his time consuming books and tackling any mental puzzle that caught his interest. Despite his father's cautioning he would mail the local police with the solution to whatever case had been giving them the most trouble. Eventually a criminal mastermind managed to gather enough evidence to match the polices anonymous ally with some old scientific papers published under the name of Hugo Lambarto. Given the Hugo's reputation the mastermind began plans to eliminate the threat of the wayward genius. Evan returned home from primary school one afternoon to find both his parents missing from their home and the maid laying dead in the kitchen. The neighbors soon called the police and young Evan went to live with his nearest relative, his Aunt Perri and her husband. From that point on he rarely followed any flashes of of insight or genius choosing instead to either throw them away or simply ignore the solution that popped into his head.
It wasn't until college while attended a lecture on the theory of time and space that Evan once again became interested in applying his mind to a puzzle. Convinced he could use such knowledge to go back in time and locate his missing parents he began researching the theories and science involved in time manipulation. The solution presented itself as many of his solutions did, in a sudden flash of brilliance which culminated in a strange looking wand-like device. Entering what his calculations had determined to be the extact chronal coordinates of the day in question Evan activated the device and hurtled himself back through time.
Upon reaching the place and hour of the maid's murder Evan hurried into his parents home and came upon a scene he didn't expect. Standing calmly in the middle of the room stood a man in what looked to be armour of some sort. Standing frozen nearby were several men who looked like hired thugs with weapons drawn. Evan's parents were floating just slightly in front of the man in a glowing energy field that Evan couldn't identify. Without a word the man in armour looked at Even and touched some device attached to the arm of the metal armour. In nothing more than a heartbeat the man in armour and Evan's parents vanished into time and space. With his disappearance the thugs were released from their state of frozen time. A few harrowing moments later and Evan was also safley in the timestream.
All that remained was to track down his parents kidnapper. He determined that someone like the man he saw also had to be coming from some point in the future and any attempts he made to travel even further back in time to prevent the events he witnessed would be thwarted by his fellow time traveller. He theorized that his fellow traveller had to be from a point much farther in the future than his own and mapped coordinates that he felt would be a good place to start looking.
Shortly after his arrival in the year 2000, Evan became involved in a plot by a mysterious villian to mind control everyone in london, as well as a vampire serial killer who only attacked women who were successful in life. His involvement in these cases led to his friendship with Sgt. Brian Lambarto, the descendent of his Aunt Perri. This involvement has further complicated Evan's search as he is constantly trying to keep his distant relative from becoming the last member of their line.

Motivation: Evan is unable to reisist anything that he sees as a mental challenge he works with an almost obsessive compulsion to solve such puzzles. With his relatives help Evan currently teaches at a local secondary school in addition to his detective work.

Quote: "There's a soltution to every problem, you just need the proper time to find it."

Tactics: Evan tends to be reluctant to enter combat prefering to out think his opponents instead. The rare times he's expecting it he usually attacks as quickly as possible with his hidden sword.

Appearance: Eyes: Blue, Hair: Dirty Blond
Evan tends to dress in victorian period clothing or in modern clothing that closely resembles victorian clothing. He does not typically wear a hat as he determined such things drew to much attention to himself.

I can think of a next up...someone else choose one.

Edit -
Noted that the original player had included x2 End, and a 14- activation and side effect of random time jump if failed on the ex dimensional movement. I cut them into the template when i converted it but left it off the write up. In retrospect I don't like the Side Effect all that much really. I don't recall our GM ever even bringing it up. I adjusted the Template to reflect the proper cost. I'm guessing it was added to allow the power in the game, as we had a 30 active pt max on most abilities. Added his write up of the background as well.

Edit 2 - Math was all off. Apparently I need to buy Hero Designer or find/create a good print template for Metacreator.

Well aside from the concept being a pun on his intent, the character itself was planned to be pretty standard. I usually find such desires to be pretty strange, what's the point really slap some powers and a high Com and Pre. There all done, sad part is your missing out on some interesting concepts for that.

That said for my part I have a high com / pre character called The Goddess. Her main schtick aside from some ungodful Pre attacks is her rather lotal legion of followers. The once or twice I actually played her I spent more time looking after what the followers were doing. Which was kind of the point really for the character, I had wanted to build a hero equivelent of your standard villian who has his henchmen do all the work.

Chalk it up to poor communication. Nothing wrong with your character or reasoning...I took the posted character as a martial artist with an interesting twist.

I guess my bafflement is the request for a "hot babe" itself. I never set out to build a good looking character, unless it works with whatever concept I have in mind.

Updated Professor Q with his background and fixed Time Travel Cost. Had to add 6 XP as I didn't want to include some limitation the original player in the pulp game had put on the power and didn't want to take away from anywere else.

He appears in the night, decending from above shooting energy from his eyes to confound and incapacitate wrong doers. His job done, he traps his prey in a corsucating web of energy thorns, leaves a card for the police, and swoops away. Most notably he has taken on the Scapelli Mob and the Tierney Mob on several occasions, foiling thier criminal activities and landing many of thier goons in prison. Both Mobs have a price out on his head that has stood for many years, uncollected. What is clear is that the costumed vigilante known as the Killer Shrike clearly has some sort of Vendetta against organized crime. He has sprung upon the scene sporadically in major cities from St Louis to New York, Philidelphia to Chicago over the past 10 years, attacking mafioso fronts and dens with startling precision from surprise in one furious night and then disappearing into the shadows again to hunt another day. He often goes for months on end without making an appearance, only to appear when least expected where his presense will do the most damage to the dastardly plans of the crime families. He has been known to assist other costumed crimefighters struggling against the mob in the past, appearing unsolicited to provide that aid, and then departing without a word once the situation was in hand. He also only seems to work at night; there is no known record of him being active during the day. He is a mystery to both his foes and the populace at large, cloaked in darkest night and shielded by anonymity.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Killer Shrike's powers are based primarily on the ability to control and project Force. Using Force, he is able to propel himself thru the air and protect himself from damage. He is also able to project Force from his eyes and manipulate it in various ways but this process tires him and he can only use each trick a certain number of times per day. He also has phenomenal eye sight, able to see vast distances. His energy signature is a dark, menacing red, and when he projects force small barbs of energy are visible on the surface of the projected energy.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: Killer Shrike can be used as a NPC vigilante in almost any game. He can provide GMs with a number of hooks involving organized crime in a variety of cities. Killer Shrike is of the Flying Blaster archetype. </td></tr></table>

Brief background: Chinese American. Wife recently past away, son in law died four years ago in a plane accident, Both grandchildren professionals. (late 20's) One is law enforcment and another in law. Recently began working with Primus as an 'occassional' Liasion to variou superteams in need of a qualified psi. He keeps this a secret, and will not say 'why' he's working. Psimon is watching him, the reason is unknown, and a clash with Viper on more then one occassion has made him applicable to their 'hit' lists.

History: Tommy gained his psychic powers during his early teens, and practiced with them, never using them in any serious fashion. He worked throughout his life on his abilities raising them to the potential they are now. After the death of his wife, he discovered through the force of his will he could 'split' himself into 4 smaller versions of himself. He's not sure if this is an evolution of his natural abilties or something else. He currently works at HCU (Hudson City University) as a professor of Linguistics. Intense sonic fields wreak havoc with the areas of his brain that govern his abilties, and he quickly looses the ability to focus and project them while in such fields. His abilties return relatively quickly after he leaves such enviornments.

Eep! Sorry about that. [smiles] I'd been working on it since it was offered for a challenge, and I got behind. Wasn't sure if I should post in the thread or outside. If I get behind again, I'll just post 'outside' the thread as a general character share next time. [sheepish smile]

In the original window, EDIT your characters post, and scroll down through the UPB text to the place you see <--!IF_IMAGE>. Look for the img src tag and paste the URL of the picture between the quotes provided. Update the post. Viola.

I hate sounding this dense, but I cannot find the <--If Imag> , is it in the Export File I copied and pasted to the board or is it in vBCode up above?

Meet Spectre!

Background/History: Spectre found out that he wasn't exactly "normal" around five years ago...
...when he died.
After figuring that waiting for his family to bury him was going nowhere, Denzel decided to see what the hell was going on, and much to the surprize of the undertaker silently rose from his coffin, assumed a solid form, and left to go to the bathroom.
Since then he has figured out that although there IS a body in the coffin, he is still very much alive and kicking. Able to take solid form for short peroids of time, Spectre has taken to fighting crime (after a not-so-warm greeting from his family) in order to protect his loved ones untill they realise that he hasn't gone away quite yet.

Personality/Motivation: Spectre is motivated to fight crime mainly because of his wife; a successful prosicution lawyer. With some big cases going to cort shortly before his demise, people have started to threaten the widow, and her "estranged" husband will have none of it. Besides that, he doesn't sleep anymore so he has nothing better to do when the sun goes down.

Quote: "Stop or I'll make you!"

Powers/Tactics: Spectre's powers center around his ability to possess other beings. Once "behind the wheel" he can make them do whatever he wants. He is also adept at increasing others' abilities and sometimes lends a "helping hand" to supers in trouble.

Campaign Use: Spectre's dead...use him however you want.

Appearance: Denzel was a middle aged black man in relatively fit condition from a life of hard work. He appears just as he did in life, however when he's not solidified you can see right through him.

Background: "John Bunyan" woke up a few months ago in a barely-furnished apartment, with a splitting headache and no memory of how he'd gotten there. The only clue to his identity was a driver's license in John Bunyan's name. Confused, John dressed and went outside to an unfamiliar street. He wandered around for an hour or two, baffled as to who he was and why he was there.
Suddenly, he felt a strong memory, of being raped and his arm broken. Except, in the memory, he was a woman. He looked around, confused, then realized that the waitress in the cafe he was near had her arm in a cast. Somehow, John had seen her memory, and not his own. Intrigued, John bought a meal in the cafe so he could talk to the waitress. With a little effort he learned that she had indeed been assaulted, but the police had not been able to find the man responsible.
John saw clues in the memory, and was able to track the rapist down. Before he confronted the man, however, a costume fomed around John, complete with a weapon. In this disguise, John captured the rapist and turned him over to the police.
That night, John felt compelled to write down everything that happened in a diary. (It was blank before.)
Since then, the Lavender Rose has sought justice for those unable to attain it for themselves. John knows that there is a larger purpose to his life, but has as yet been unable to discover any clues to that destiny.

Personality: John is a soft-spoken, self-effacing person who is equally uncomfortable in the halls of power and in the crime-ridden streets. If it were not for a genuine desire to help others, he wouldn't leave the apartment at all. Once he has been alerted to an injustice, John will pursue a remedy for as long as it takes. While he is willing to kill if it is absolutely necessary, John prefers to seek other remedies for problems. He's becoming increasingly worried about his compulsive diary writing, especially as there are secrets in there that should never be learned.

Quote: "Would you like to talk about it?"

Powers and Tactics: The Lavender Rose's powers appear to be magical in nature. The most unusual of these is his ability to see other people's "flashbacks", strong memories that relate to their current problems. John has no control over when or how this power activates. When John wishes to become the Lavender Rose, he concentrates, and the Rose's costume replaces his current clothing. He also gains a crossbow, which appears to be a physical weapon, but instantly reappears at his side if stolen. The bolts fired from the crossbow are powered by John's own lifeforce, and dissolve if anyone else grasps them.
John's skills make him think that he was educated in a seminary at some point, and may have been ordained. Unfortunately, he doesn't know in which religion.
John prefers to wander about in civilian clothing until a case presents itself, and continue investigating in mufti until a combat situation seems likely. Then he assumes his "super" identity. In combat, Lavender Rose is strictly a sniper, fleeing to range if confronted. Recently, people John's helped in the past have begun referring cases to him, and he makes a modest income from grateful "clients."

Appearance: John Bunyan is a slender man in his late twenties or early thirties, with very short dark brown hair and brown eyes. His skin is pale and his features are delicate. John customarily wears wire-rimmed glasses and dark suits with a clerical collar.
The Lavender Rose wears a white bandleader's jacket with a lavender rose (always fresh) on the right breast pocket, and gold epaulets; tight lavender-colored trousers; shiny black low boots, and a lavender domino mask with corrective lenses. The color scheme, some unfortunate coincidences and Rose's soft-spokeness have started a persistent rumor that the hero is gay. This is sometimes helpful, but more often a hindrance, especially as John is not attracted to men.

Campaign Use: Lavender Rose's main hook is the mystery of who he is, where he came from, and who did this to him. If this can be tied into a player character's background, so much the better. He's deliberately much less combat-worthy than most PCs, so eventually he'll need to come for them for help. He might even be able to help bring justice to the player character's archenemy. John's counseling skills might also come in handy from time to time.
For more realistic campaigns, change the "flashback" reading power to uncanny observational skills, make the crossbow a Focus with charges, and make the costume (no Instant Change) less garish. If Lavender Rose is too underpowered, boost his Speed and give him more combat levels with a larger Multipower.

--------------------

Ten years ago Angela's life changed forever when a rampaging super, under the control of ARGENT, picked up and threw a car into the resteraunt her family was celebrating her birthday in killing her father, her sister, paralyzing her brother, and breaking her mother's neck. Bittered by the experience she now fights against criminals who would cause such rampant destruction whenever she can.
Origionally from a well-to-do family, she now spends her family fortune, plus whetever her and her brother can manage to earn, on her extensive collection of gadgets, and her mother's health care.

Angela is a shy, introverted person unless she can find someone to talk to about science; then she can talk all day! Focused on her mission to help people, she has less of a compulsion against killing due to the attempt on the lives of her family and will kill if the need arises or if she believes that simply capturing the villan will not solve the problem. While this does not stand well with the other members of the Avant Guard, it hasn't caused a problem...yet.
She got into the superhero gig to stop those who would cause the very damage that took most of her family from her those years ago, and will have no mercy on them when she does.
Presently her activities with the Avant Guard in addition to the time she spends tinkering with gadgets and teaching at a local college with her brother is all she has time for, although weather or not her "gift" to her fellow Avant Guard member Steelshod is the start of something more in her life remains to be seen.

Quote: "Let me show you what THIS button does!"

Angela makes all her own gadgets with help from her equally brilliant brother, and is more than willing to try out her "new toy" on her unfortunate foes. Her crowning achievments in robotics, her Boyz, form her main attack force although with her Cyber Armor (her second "crowning achievment") she is far from defenseless.
When the car that destroyed her family hit her, it injured her back beyond any known method of healing and now her strength, and speed, is quite limited. While her armor can compensate for both short commings, frequent muscle spasms in her back tend to confuse the system and error it out. Presently she is unable to fix the reacurring problem, and is well aware of the fact that half the time she can barely walk or lift anything. Outside of her armor she can't do so much as carry her lecture notes from classroom to classroom, making her public ID by far her most guarded secret.

Angela Haas is a 21 year old knockout of mixed Hispanic decent. Her shoulder length black hair frames a face that, while pretty, is etched with worry lines far before its time. Her intense gaze gives anyone meeting it a look of intelligence, but betrays a deep sadness. When not working on something she can often be found deep in thought or with her nose deep in a book. Despite her appearance, she has never been to Mexico and does not speak a single word of spanish.

Created by Access to be her assistants on the batlefield, the Boyz are her crowning achievement in robotics and artificial intelligence. They boyz are highly deadicated and follow Access's commands to the letter. Presently she believes them to be simple automatons, although the reality is that they have both manifested a low level of self awareness from their experiences with her. Presently their programming fully binds them to her, but it might not be long before they can act on their own every once in a while. Even now they occasionally "mis-interpret" a command to acomplish something they feel is more immediately important. Although they are still constantly plagued with system bugs, they still seem to pull through for her in the end.

The Boyz' only attack right now is their combat laser. Their main function is to act as foreward scouts, fly cover, and aid her teamates with cordinated attacks.

The Boyz appear as small metalic dragons that breathe an intense beam of light.

Background Story: He doesn't remember anything before Christmas Eve, 2001. He just remembers walking through Newport News, in a daze, simply looking for shelter from the slush coming down. He wandered into the bad part of the city, without realizing it. Suddenly, he saw flashes of light that stirred him out of his daze. Up ahead, a flame-wielding supervillain was blasting away at police cars trying to apprehend him, making his getaway from an armed robbery. Without thinking, he charged the man, closing the distance between them in seconds and slamming the man through the concrete in a single toss. The flames burned him, so he let go immediately, but the one hit was enough to flatten the surprised villain.
When the media showed up to ask him his name, he suddenly realized that he had no idea who he was. He couldn't remember anything at all, and didn't seem to have any skills at all. While he was standing there, confused, an established superhero-detective, Black Hawk, showed up, drawn by the fight. Hawk took in the confused man, and tried to help find clues to his past.
Medical tests showed that the man had implants of a strange metal, named "Orichalcum" by those involved, implanted into his hands, muscles, and eyes. The metal massively boosted his running speed, and particularly his strength and reflexes. It also let him see without actively using his eyes, and bounce projectiles off his hardened palms. It did not, however, offer a great deal of protection against bullets and the like.
Hawk taught the man the basics of crimefighting, and also basic fighting techniques. Hawk also tried to teach the man how to do detective work, but he had trouble working with people and Hawk eventually gave it up.
After several months of training, they were caught off-guard one day by men in black powered armor carrying advanced weapons. They drew Hawk in with a faked crime, then tried to kill him. Hawk was badly wounded but found and warned his student in time for him to run.
After Hawk's death, the man decided to devote his life to crimefighting in the name of Black Hawk. He chose to call himself The Freight Train, and has made quite an impact with his powerful crime-fighting capabilities, and is currently a major "flash in the pan" for the local media. Whether he will remain in the public eye has yet to be seen.
Appearance: Freight Train is an eight-foot, heavily muscled man. He appears to be of Caucasian descent, although there is no way to verify it. His face, however, is badly scarred (he and Hawk believed it to be from the surgery used to implant the Orichalcum), and as a result he looks very ugly, though intimidating.
Train's costume is a sleek metal-grey spandex suit, although it doesn't cover his face. It is streaked with rust-red and black.

Personality:Train has gotten used to not knowing much of what is going on, and as a result tends to be very cautious, and reserved. He always takes time to think things through, plan, and prepare, and if he can help it will always plan for contingencies and problems. He doesn't like having to talk to people, and doesn't care much for people in general - he protects them because of the memory of Black Hawk, and because he thinks it is the right thing to do. He also doesn't have anything else to do - he scrapes together a living from donations, payments from rich citizens he helps, and suchlike. He has a rather negative attitude, generally expecting the worst to happen, for in his short memory it has, very often.

Beat you Enforcer ;p
My challenge: A character whose only power is his incredible intelligence (not a mentalist, a gadgeteer, or a battlesuit, but someone who uses purely his immense intellect to foil/cause crime). He can, if you want, have abilities derived from his intelligence bought as powers (ie Telepathy, only to predict actions, for example, which is a fairly common application for superintelligent beings).

I actually am not taken with the name Revenant, but its what I've got to work with.

Background:Sonny Petrelli had the life he wanted,women,money,power,and influence. He rose in the Mafia like no other man before him. He came to America seeking something that was missing from his life in Italy. He came to a strange country, seeking the American dream. He got a job as a bus boy at a small restaraunt in New York. He had only been working there for two months, when the owner declared bankruptcy without informing his employees. Now Sonny was out of work, and was evicted from his small apartment for being "a loud Italian type guy".Life was hard those first few months for Sonny,so he took to breaking and entering,pick pocketing,and various other crimes. On one of his excursions he found an upper class house that looked appealing. He cased the house for several days and got the routine down. On June 3rd he made his move. Everything would have went perfect except the owner of the house caught him. He was making his exit when the lights went on, and there stood a large man with 2 armed guards.This man was incredible looking, he stood 6'3" and weighed in at 275lbs. of pure muscle. The man introduced himself as Anthony "the Rock" Perelli. The man offered Sonny two choices (1)-he could join his organization and live or (2)-he could leave his house in a bodybag. Sonny agreed to Anthony's offer to join him and the next few years went by in a blur. He became a runner for the family,then a "fixer"(hitman),and then his world came to a halt.
On June 3rd,exactly 2 yrs later,the FBI came to Sonny and asked him for info on the family.He spat in their faces and said that he was no stooly.They thanked him for his time, handed him a card, and left.He went to Anthony and told him what had transpired.Tony nodded and thanked him for his honesty and said he had one more job for him.He was to go to Chicago and "make an example" of a jewish diamond exchanger.Sonny accepted and left for Chicago not expecting to ever see New York again.He arrived in Chicago and finished the job with no interference,but at the same time he was there, the Feds sought out Tony and indicted him and several other leaders for various crimes.They told Tony that their informant gave up a lot of info on the organization. Tony demanded to know who it was and they fed him Sonny's name.That infuriated Tony and he put a hit out on Sonny.
When Sonny was about to get on the plane 2 agents came to him and told him the situation.They told him that he was now property of the government and that there was a hit put out on him.He was so furious that he put one of the agents in the hospital. He agreed to go into the protection program but they had a better offer.They wanted to utilize his remarkable talents that he had acquired over the years.
To this day the Mafia has a $1,000,000 hit out on Sonny.......

Appearance:Sonny Petrelli is a tall olive skinned man with long black hair that he usually wears in a pulled back at the nape of the neck.His dress attire has stayed the same from his days in the Mafia to his days in Black Ops.He wears a black Armani suit accented with silver cufflings.A blood red tie hangs can be seen upon a bleach white shirt.The shoes he prefers to wear are the typical wing tipped.He wears a silver watch upon his left wrist.A plain platinum wedding ring is worn on his left ring finger.(He is not married but he is a player.)He also has a platinum plated zippo with the number 6 on it.

Personality:A man of little words.Ice cold killer.

Enforcer, that is HILARIOUS. I never thought I'd see Encyclopedia Brown as a superhero. That is so funny! But where's "hunted by Bugs Meany 14-?" Or is Bugs supposed to be Crimelord? :)
And post your challenge

Enforcer84

Jun 18th, '03, 03:16 PM

Yeah, I was inspired. Bugs might be Crimelord, taking the brunt of Leroy's crime fighting, he probably caught on.

Farg! As for the challenge, the Avant Guard needs at least two more members. We need a long range specialist! Make it so.

 You know, for the guy who thought up this game, you'd think I had the rules down by now...

I'll try to post the character background later if I can make the time. O.R.I. is Odyssey Research Institute, for whom he works while in civilian ID. ORI is a sort of National Geographic Society that funds archeaological expeditions around the world.

The attachment is a picture of the character. I have a miniature of this character that looks almost exactly like this art except that the staff is topped by a skull.

Every campaign needs a bit of humor. I thought the best touch was the Cloak of Armani (as in Giorgio Armani). At least I'm trying to be stylish.

He wears the ring under his gloves. Unlike his mothers psychadelic tie-dye uniform from the sixties, he wears a simple gray body suit with black boots, gloves and mask. The only conceit to his heritage is a symbolized Sun on his chest that changes colors depending on which day it is: Gold (Sunday), Black (Monday), White (Tuesday), Green (Wednesday), Blue (Thursday), Red (Friday), adn Silver (Saturday).</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Personality: Brought up by responsible, yet liberal parents, Alex is clearly falling in his mother's footsetps. He is respectful of authority, but tends to support the underdog and will tend to side against a large, powerful corporate or governmental entity if the other side is an individual or seemingly helpless. However, he is not at all stupid and would never blindly follow someone into an obviously criminal venture.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Quote:Today is a GOOD DAY!</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Background: Alexander Mundy is the current bearer of the family secret. The Mundy's have spent generations protecting a tiny object of great power known as the Seven Day Ring. The ring gives its wearer great power but it is tied to seven 24 hour periods. A different power each day. Alex's family has, for the most part merely guarded the ring from falling in the wrong hands. Alex, like his mother before him (the original Day Tripper) had decided to take a pro-active approach to protecting the ring, by uing it to fight crime.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Alex's tactics depend on what day it is. He uses his powers over Fire (Sun), a Silvery Light (Moon), Celestial Rings (Saturn), Law&Order (Tiw), Wisdom (Wotan), Storms (Thor) and Love (Freya). Obviously the Seven Day Ring was made by germanic peoples. Sundays he is immune to fire and can project it; Mondays he can can alter moods, and perceptions via the silver light; Tuesdays he has the ability to sense deception as well as the ability to summon the sword of justice, a construct of energy that causes great pain to those who have acted unjustly; Wednesdays his incredible wisdom allows him to see flaws in his opponents, make incredibly sound tactical decisions and discern the best course of action; Thursdays he can control the weather and cast lighting at will; Fridays he has emotion control, mostly love based however; and Saturdays he controls the celestial rings of Saturn, mostly entangles but also teleportation. Unbeknownst to the Mundy family however, is the fact that over time the wearer imprints minor abilities suiting their personality, these have been handed down to each possessor of the Ring. Alex has reaped the benefits of being the seventh bearer of the ring (Seventh in-so-much as having worn it long enough to pass abilities on to him.</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan=2>Campaign Use: An oddball kind of hero, but Alex is fairly level headed given his ecclectic power set. The Seven Day Ring is a formidible artifact and its origins predate christianity by a good thousand years. It is entirely possible that the creator was semi-divine (as far as comic book type dieties go) and could be watching over him. Or those groups who seek power through the supernatural would be very interested in the ring as well.</td></tr></table>

As a side note, in HD you can set Characteristics bought as powers to add to a secondary characteristic value or not at all. Might be appropriate for Daytrippers STR, PRE, and COM

I know, I got lazy. I was having way too much trouble with angry List management. 2AM sleepyness and a very lonely sleepy puppy (wife is gone for the weekend, I'm a poor substitute sleep time cuddler...)

I loved Day Tripper. The heroic death god sounds like a good concept, too.

History: Alexander Winter was a happy old man living the dream he had since childhood of raising a family. Granted, family life had not always been "normal" for his children (you know...crawling around ancient tombs, learning to walk on the pyrmaids, playing hide and seek in the ruins of south american cities...etc), but they made due.

It all changed six years ago in South America during a particularly promising dig. Such was the importance of the site that, as it happened, Alexander's entirely family with very few exceptions had all been hired to excivate the site due to their extensive knowledge of the ancient cultures, and their ability to work well together. All was going well untill they discovered an ancient underground temple devoted to some long forgotten god, filled with valuable artifacts!

Apparently, some beaurcrat in the Mexican government had taken an interest in the dig, and decided that, when his agents told him what the arciologists had found, the valuable pieces in the temple would better serve his country if they made him rich rather than by being sold to some american museam in exchange for more charity funding for the poor.

The regular army soldiers made short work of the Winter family...all except Alexander. He had moved deeper into the temple, and wasn't on the surface when the shooting began. Rightly fearing the worst, he hid himself behind a massive stone altar, hoping to at least make it out alive enough to maybe help survivers. When they dumped the bodies in the temple, Alexander's worst fears were realised...he was the only surviver.

Something happened then; the slaughter of innocents awoke something dark in the temple. Something that had been sleeping for many centuries. Finding a slaughter had taken place in its home, the creature called out to the one person there willing to aid it by becomming its chosen on the earth.

And Alexander agreed. The lone surviver of the army squad named the attacker "Diablos" as his fury over the murder of the Winters rivaled that of the devil himself. While the name hasn't spread far, tales do travel...

Since then, Alexander has become a man devoted to the persuit of justice by the murder of his entire family. While many view him as a vidulantie (and he is...) others view him as a hero. While he saves as many lives as he is able, the perpritrators must always pay a price.

When confronted by one's crimes by the right hand of a god, especially a god of death, there is always a price to be paid.

At present Alexander has teamed up with two of his last living relatives, Conrad and Mike. They're two of the only members of the family who didn't want to go into the Arciology aspects of the family trade. Practicing mechanics, they have serviced the families' many vehicles for years, and are extremely loyal to their grandfather Alexander who is looking better now than he has in years.

Physical Appearance: Alexander's age is marked, only by his white hair. While nearly ninty years old, his physical age has been turned backwards over forty years and seems to be staying put. His rugged appearance comes from spending his entire life in some of the most unhospitable terrain in the world, and a hard life of adventuring. As Diablos, he favors black trenchcoats and carries around any number of weapons.

Combat: Alexander favors smallarms and melee combat so that he can make use of his ability to drain a person's life force with his hands. His greatest asset is his formidible magical abilities granted by the being he knows only as "the god of death." While his knowledge of what exactly happened to him is growing, the exact nature of his powers are extremely sketchy.

Campaign Use: Alexander is a vigulantie who leaves a trail of bodies wherever he goes. While he does fight for justice, his methods can be extreme.

Note: damnit...i had to redo his skills halfway through generation and i forgot to add survival...oh well...
