We just started up in a new Dark Champions Campaign set in HC and run by Edsel. Characters are built on 50 + 50 with upto 5 experience points for a good background. We have typically run 75 + 75 so the shift in SPD and CVs still has us guessing a bit.
Anyway, here is my character [A downgraded version of a one shot character].

Background/History: Kierian Foster was born to Avery and Suzanne Foster, an Irish fire fighter and a professional wife respectively. He was born and raised in Hudson City, residing with his biological parents until he was six. At that time, his father was killed in the line of duty while trying to rescue a family trapped in the Belington Hotel . Unable to cope with the stress Suzanne suffered a breakdown and was institutionalized after a suicide attempt. For a short time Kierian was placed into a Catholic school for boys but was eventually taken in by his paternal grandparents. Bryce and Jessica Foster, his grandparents, were moderately wealthy after retiring from civil service. The elderly couple provided a solid home for Kierian to develop in.
His mother has recovered from her illness and has done better with the introduction of newer antidepressants, still, she was distant or absent during his youth which has created a coldness between them. Suzanne Foster has since spent an excessive amount of time studying psychology and behavior at Hudson City University where she teaches.
Kierian’s grandparents were killed in an automobile accident while vacationing nearly a decade ago. The couple willed what little money they had to Kierian.
Kierian joined the Hudson City Police Department immediately after he finished high school, working as a patrol officer for six years, while attending HCU part-time.
During his sixth year on the force, Kierian was selected for the Special Weapons And Tactics unit. He served as a member of SWAT for three years. During that time, he encountered some of Hudson City’s more notorious villains and vigilantes. During a hostage crisis, Kierian discovered his softness for vigilantes when he assisted the wounded Knockout to safety. The wounded vigilante required extensive first aid and in the process of providing the required aid, Kierian identified the person under the mask. Kierian never reported the incident and has recently re-established contact with the vigilante.
Just before his selection as a SWAT member, Kierian finally met the woman of his dreams, Lorraine Alvis. Lorraine’s income as a social worker & Kierian’s money from the force allowed them a comfortable, if not extravagant lifestyle.
Kierian and Lorraine were married in July of 1999, seven months later Lorraine delivered a stillborn daughter. The event placed a significant strain on the couple's marriage.
In 2003 Keirain attended The Ultimate Fighting Challenge XXII, the event turned into a disaster as a full-scale riot broke out after gunshots ripped through the stadium. Kierian found himself in the middle of a pitched battle between the some of Hudson Cities most notorious crime families. The enraged Kierian hurtled himself into the gunplay and disabled several members of the Torrecone family but was unable to stop their leader, the infamous Swansong.
Several weeks after the incident at the UFC, SWAT was called in on a crack house bust that was expected to turn violent. When the SWAT team arrived at the crack house, they were immediately ambushed. Half the team was killed that day and the other 4 members were all hospitalized, including Kierian. All of the team would have been killed when the crack house detonated if not for the aid of an unknown benefactor.
In shock from the cold blooded murder of his team, Kierian frantically called his wife before allowing any procedures to be done on him. Unable to reach his wife by phone, Kierian leaped to the conclusion that the tip had been a trap. Swansong and the Torrecone family weren't known for their forgiving nature. Kierian feared the assassain was going to also kill his wife to punish him for interferance. Kierian left the hospital and sped home immediately, dreading what he would find.
Instead of a murdered wife and a ransacked home, he found Lorraine at home in bed - very much alive. She was otherwise engaged with a quick-tempered fellow officier named Anthony Schiavelli. There were a number of screams, accusations were made, and somewhere in the middle, a fight broke out between Anthony and Kierian - a fight that ended with Kierian being shot. Kierian was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Several hours later, a morgue employee ran screaming into the emergency room, ‘He ain’t dead’. Apparently, the physician missed several essential calls, or maybe he didn’t.
Kierian returned to the force after an extensive convalesence leave. Rather than return to SWAT he was transfer to the Citywide Task Force where he has begun to catch his stride.
Personality/Motivation: Beyond anything else Kierian wants to make a difference – like the two men in his life. That desire led him to the join HCPD. However, the desire has mutated somewhat since his near death experience. He still has a desire to help but he has an overwhelming need to make those who walk on others and live beyond the law - pay. The near death experience has led him to consider other, less traditional means of helping people.
His feelings towards his ex-wife are only slightly mixed. On the one hand, he loved her enough to marry, and to stand by her for years. On the other, he cannot forget the pain and betrayal. In the end of their relationship, he was so numb that the loss of her was simply another dull ache. His major concern was that he got to keep their dog, a bullmastiff named Bismark.
Kierian has isolated himself both emotionally and physically. When he is not with his mother he seldom interacts with people as a person. He is a driven man and those people who do speak with him, are uncomfortable with his intensity.
He is generally soft-spoken, preferring to observe and gather information before speaking his mind. If he perceives violence as the only option to end a confrontation then he will use it - as swiftly and forcefully as necessary to end any perceived threat. He does not like hurting people, but he has grown just callus enough after years on the street to realize that sometimes it's the only way to resolve a situation. His focused, almost disinterested attitude while fighting is a touch unnerving, but he's learned that becoming emotionally involved in a fight is a step away from being angry - and that's just a step away from losing control and getting hurt.
Quote: "We don't want this to escalate."
Powers/Tactics: Crucible is a calculating combatant. Using his skill with weapons to their deadliest advantage.
Appearance: Kierian is ruggedly handsome. He is 5'11" tall, weighs 190 lbs. and has Black hair. His eyes are dark blue, almost black in dim light, and usually moving to watch his surroundings carefully. He dresses in clothing suitable for the occasion, but has a tendency to wear a jacket or loose shirt to help conceal his sidearm.
Anyway, here is my character [A downgraded version of a one shot character].
