Okay, you might have seen my Gunmage or Champion, or what have you. I've decided to try to put together a supherheroic fantasy campaign for my close friends they next time we get to game together. I have a while to put this thing together and I am going to cheat a bit by using the existing CU as the basis for my Fantasy World. With a few tweaks I think it will be pretty easy. Here is the first guy I fiddled with, simply because I like the challenge. I'll post them but, if DOJ decides that its not cool I'll take them down.

Here is Sir James Harmon the IV, Grand Defender of the City of Millenia.

Background/History:**Sir James Harmon IV is the current Grand Defender of Millenia. He inherited the title from his father James the III two years ago when the elder Sir Harmon was slain defending the Grand City from a dragon who had been forced into servitude by the Order of the Emerald Serpent. James, then a member of the City Guard, got to see his father's noble sacrifice first hand. He has sworn to uphold the family's legacy of heroism and good deeds. He was awarded the armor of the Grand Defender (a family heirloom to tell the truth and the Lord Mayor knows it) and the title of Defender of Millenia. He leads the Champions, a group of seven heroes dedicated to the city. He is quite popular with the citizens of Millenia and the talk of court is often the romantic triangle of himself, the Archmage, Lady Bethany Duquesne, and the popular Bard, Corrianne Saphire.

Personality/Motivation:**Tried and true hero with a slightly tragic past (the loss of his father, and grandfather before that). Sir James spends most of his time "on duty" and when forced into court situatiuons, he tends to feel awkward and unwanted. The public delights with tales of his romantic possiblities with his fellow Champions, but the truth is he still holds a candle for his childhood companion and friend Lady Stonebrook.

Quote:**"This city is under my protection. Leave or your life shall be forfiet."

Powers/Tactics:**Thanks to his training, Sir James is a skilled warrior even without his heavily enchanted armor. With it however, he becomes a nearly unstoppable force for justice in the Grand City. Although no longer a member of the city guard he still feels a strong kinship with them and often accompanies patrols. He would prefer to end situations without violence and tends to use his Ward of Imprisonment to keep his foes at bay until they can be arrested. Failing that he will use the Celestial Beam to subdue them. Make no mistake though, he can and will use deadly force if the situation warrents it.

Campaign Use:**

Appearance:**A handsome knight. He has brown hair and eyes. His family's colors are blue and gold and their Heraldric Standard is a golden Phoenix on a white field surrounded by a blue ring. The armor of the grand defender is consists of a white underlayer covered by heavier blue plates with golden details. A golden Phoenix is on his chest. The helmet has wings on either side. When he activates the Wings of the Phoenix, blue-white feathered wings spring from the back of his armor. They can be restrained causing him to fall but they are only targets when in use.

Anyways, this would go Into FH or Champions but since its both Genre's rolled into one...HERE it is.

The characters need only pay for Magic Items they don't want to lose.
I'm going to allow equipment (to a certain degree)

Background/History:**Lord Marcus Whitaker was looking forward to a life of leisure. He was one of the darlings of the court, popular with the ladies and scion of a wealthy noble family. Marcus had a favorite uncle, his father's younger sibling who was an investigator with the City Guard, he found his uncles tales to be facinating, and his uncle always commented on his quick wit and deductive skill. Marcus occasionally played with the idea of joining the Investigators, but that was along ways away, afterall he was just a boy. What he didn't count on was that the Order of the Emerald Serpent was looking at his father's business as the perfect front for their activities in Millenia City. When Lord Marcus was but a lad of 10, his father hired a new business manager. The man, Corucio Lassengdell was an excellent aid. He was also a member of the Order. For seven years Corucio was a loyal and honest friend to the elder Lord Whitaker. Then, once he had procured absolute trust from his employer, he summoned assassins to kill the Lord and his son (leaving a berieved widow for him to marry). The betrayal was set up so that Lord Whitaker would die during a trip to the coast city of Hudson's Bay. The elder Lord Whitaker proved smarter than Corucio had expected and sensed something was wrong. He sent his servant and guardian Xian to watch is son, rather than accompany him as he would normally do. He sent his wife to her sister's for the duration of the trip and told 17 year old Marcus to watch the manor. When the assassins struck, Corucio and Lord Whitaker were alone. Lord Whitaker fell without too much trouble. The assassins sent after young Marcus were deteced and defeated by Xian. Another ally of Lord Whitaker, Penburk the Alchemist, used a few potions he had concocted to make the one assassin that Xian left alive believe that he had succeeded in his mission. Three days later when Corucio petitioned the council with Lord Whitaker's will naming him as the heir to the business should anything happen to Lord Whitaker and Marcus, the young lord appeared out of the crowd and announced that would not be necessary. His face pale, Corucio greeted his young lord back to the court. Marcus explained his absense saying he had been mourning the deaths of his father and favorite uncle. Corucio excused himself and was never seen again. Marcus pieced together the identies of the assassins, and in order to protect his mother from possible reprisals maintained a public identity as a disinterested, playboy. Behind the scenes, Marcus trained with Xian in Kung Fu and worked with a young member of the City Guard's investigation devision, to weed out the Order's activities in Millenia. When he was sure that he had achieved enough proficiency as a warrior, Lord Marcus adopted the identity of the mysterious Knight of the Hawk. He fought a shadow war against crime in Millenia. When the Lord Mayor Portis Biselle organized the original Champions of Millenia as a public "order" of heroes, the young Knight of the Hawk was asked to join. He accepted and worked well with the leader, Grand Defender James Harmon III. However, he had assumed that he would be named leader when James fell fighting the dragon, Kurse. When James IV was given the armor and leadership, Marcus bristled. He still works well with his team but feels that Defender is unworthy of leadership.

Personality/Motivation:**Losing his father and uncle to the forces of evil pretty much turned Lord Marcus' life updside down. His idle interest in crime solving as a child has been turned into his life's work. He is no longer an idle noble, though he plays one to protect his mother and identity when he fights crime.

Quote:**"You may feel that your Serpent has the world in its coils, but I own the skies and this city is under my protection."

Powers/Tactics:**A skilled warrior in Kung Fu, a combat art from the mysterious east, Marcus is a physical marvel. He traines constantly, and has added some alchemical weapons to his arsenal since starting as the Knight of the Hawk. As the KotH, Marcus will attempt to scope out his opponents and find their weaknesses if at all possible. He is quite capable in combat and his quickness and agility generally allows him to get the drop on others.

Campaign Use:**

Appearance:**A handsome young noble with a dueling scar on his face (the only time I dueled!) and a lithe, muscular build, he manages to hide behind dandy-ish clothes. As the Knight of the Hawk, he wears a black, dragon hide, leather fortified with silver mithril breast plate, pauldrons, helm, and thigh guards. He also wears a black cloak to make him more mysterious. As the Knight, he adopts a far more serious and intimidating tone.

On the Knight of the Hawk:

Most of the things I see on him make him sound to modern, the things I would change for this is just changing some names

Get rid of the refrence to the "Swinggun", but keep the power

Change all the Pellets in his UT belt to "seeds" or "potions"

Change the name of his UT belt (Belt pouches, works)

Okay rules wise there is only one, but it is costing you 15 points, on the first follower (the 20 point one) you should just take x4 followers

Good points all. I will tinker with him. I am hemming and Hawing at what I will use as a magic system. Its not going to be as open ended as Superhero Magic, but if I limit it too much then the wizards really start to suffer.

Once I decide what magic will look like, I will put together, the Archmage of Millenia (Witchfire), the Bard (Sapphire) the Elemental Prince (Obsidan/Ironclad amalgam), and then? I am probably going to bring the group up to 7. Add a priest of one of the heroic dieties, and I'm trying to figure a way to add Kinetik.

Changing gears a little here. I have focus problems.

anyway, this is the Big girl of the all women adventuring party drawn by Jonathan Davenport on page 376 of FH, made for my Fantasy Supers Campaign, these girls are not quite the power level of the Champions of Millenia.

and I'm trying to figure a way to add Kinetik.

Simple, Kinetik is a fea creacher...more suspicafly a Quickling. As for his new name...Kin The Racer should work for the name mortals (non-fea/non-elf) call him.

Just an ideal...

Very Cool. I was looking at Ironclad to be an Iron Golem who gained sentience and then travelled to the far off kingdom of Malva, fought in Emperor Thone's arena for the chance to have his form given life by the God-King Zerstoiten the First in the neighboring kingdom of Destruga.

Background/History:  Ariax Thone was one of the unfortunate ones. The scion of an Ifreet, powerful beings from the Elemental Plane of Fire, he was a slave of the Baron Thursar. Thursar was a fan of gladiator games and Ariax was one of his favorites. Ariax spent much of his early adult life battling monsters, scores of soldiers, wizards of varying power. It was hard sometimes to make the opponents seem threatening to him. Ariax bristled under the Baron's yoke but a powerful artifact, the Ring of Fyre held him at bay. While the Baron wore it he could not resist the pathetic mortal's commands. Ariax grew increasingly angry at his situation and eventually looked to change his situation. The power to do that came with another warrior. The Baron had become obsessed with creating a stable of powerful warriors. Using bounty hunters, and adventurers, he brought many strange beings to his domain to entertain himself and wealthy patrons. The Prince, as he was dubbed, was a powerful fighter in his own right. A greater Earth Elemental and literally the crown prince of the one of the Elemental Plane of Earth's varied domains, the Prince was everything Ariax aspired to be. He was noble, honorable in word and deed and seemingly undefeatable. The two clashed over and over. Neither could really claim absolute victory. Another powerful gladiator, a living golem dubbed the Ironclad, added to the mix. The Baron was thrilled at his luck. Though the two hulking warriors could give Thone a fight, in truth it was the ring that held him back. The Baron sought more and more powerful warriors to draw greater and wealthier audiences. One of these, a woman who was a priestess of the K'Lia the Scporian, Goddess of Assassins; though seemingly mortal and human, she possessed nearly inhuman agility and skill. She railed against her captivity more than even Ariax Thone, but was held in check by the idea that should she seek to escape or harm the Baron it would be Thone who hunted her down and destroyed her. Ariax Thone saw her as his ticket to freedom. He imparted with her the secrets of the Baron's control and his desire for freedom. The very next day, the woman dubbed Scorpia executed a single attack that changed the world. She intentionally missed her target (Thone) and her blade sliced the ring finger off Baron Thursar's hand. Once the ring's power was no longer controlling his terrible power, Thone slew the Baron and a massive riot occured. In a few days the chaos ended and Ariax Thone, the second Baron Ontario, was crowned.

Personality/Motivation:  Ariax Thone loves two things, his freedom and combat. To this end, he's bent on world conquest. If he rules all the world, none can attempt to command him, and in the taking of the world, he'll get to battle the greatest beings of his day.

Quote:  "I am not without mercy; if you can defeat me you shall go free. " 

Powers/Tactics:  Though his command of fire is without peer, Baron Thone is, at his heart, an in your face fighter. He uses weapons and his fists without even thinking about his flame command. These tactics change quickly if he finds himself confronting a number of powerful opponents. Ariax Thone is a deulist at heart though and loves to challenge those he considers to be "of equal footing" he will often eschew his flame command on these fights unless his foe 'cheats' by their ability to stand his phyisical assault. Though his honor means much to him, the desire for victory can overwhelm him and he may take advantages he'd promised he wouldn't.

Campaign Use:  Very powerful world conquerer with a small barony, an army, and alot of personal power.

Appearance:  Tall and handsome, Ariax appears as a golden skinned, over muscled elf. He has long flame red hair and red eyes. He wears red and gold armor made from the hide of a red dragon. He carries a finely crafted greatsword (that he weilds one handed) and a shield with his standard, a rising phoenix. He is oft called Baron Thone the Firewing.
