Bay City Blues Champions

**nexus** · Sep 4th, '04, 12:29 PM

Bay City is one of my more long lived Champions game and a favorite of mine. Over the years, Bay City has incorporated material from comics, other super rpgs even other game lines such a Werewolf, Vampire and Changelings. Its also featured some of the strangest character I've ever had the pleasure of gming. They're adventures have spanned a few universes all without leaving the confines of Bay City for the most part. I thought I would post a few PCs and NPCs here for the entertainment of the board over the next several days.

Background: Pheonix, aka: Eliza Borden was a promising young gymnast slated to be a rising star in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Ms. Borden’s career was tragically cut short when, during a publicity tour in South America, the young girl was struck with a particularly virulent form of necrotizing virus. Doctors worked valiantly to save her life, but the raging virus rotting her flesh even as they tried to contain and cut it away, producing toxins that were slowly destroying what little uninfected tissue she had left. Death seemed imminent until a representive of Biotechnica International approached the dying young woman with a daring proposal.

The company would rebuild her body, utilizing cutting cybernetic technology. In effect, Eliza would be grafted into a entirely new artificial body, only her central nervous system and a few key glands preserved in a powerful robot shell. Eliza was reborn, faster, stronger, more able than before but somehow less human. Her senses aside from the basics were limited. Many of the things most young women enjoyed she could no longer do, such as eating or making love. But it was better than being dead by a long stretch even with the strings that came with her new body.

Biotechnica had no intention of letting their multi billion dollar investment walk away. Phoenix was theirs, legally and by right. Not her mind but her body and the intended to use her a company flagship and mascot for their biomedical research. Thus almost everything about her new life is monitored, rated and spun to reflect well on the corporation. Her costume design, who she’s seen with, even her superheroic career carefully managed for maximum impact and acceptance. So far, Eliza hasn’t begun to chafe under such strict control and has won some concessions, but its only a matter of time before there is friction with her corporate “masters.” More disturbingly, she has recently uncovered evidence that perhaps her accidental infection wasn’t so accidental after all.

Powers: Eliza has a set of fairly standard powers for a robotic being. She is durable, fast and strong. She can withstand a wide variety of hostile environments and has electronic senses that are beyond the ken of normal human perception. Normally, her power cells are almost inexhaustible, but she when she pushes herself to the true performance heights she can empty her reserves quickly and then requires a recharge. At that point, she will shut down maintaining a minimum operational level required to maintain her biological systems until she can be recharged.

Background: Matt Stone has had a adventurous career and two superheroic ids in his life. Born a naturally gifted inventor and scientists, he was one of youngest men ever to earn a place on the fortune 500, shortly the one of the wealthiest men in the Northern Hemisphere and a widely regarded genius in the fields of physics and quantum mechanics. He was working on his greatest experiment ever, a functional teleportation device was a tragic accident fused his body with a several tons of high grade iron alloy. Rather than being killed outright, Stone was transformed in a mighty giant of living metal.

Taking his transformation well, Matt decided to use his new powers for the good of his fellow man along with his undiminished intellect. In the wake of the Proprietor War, there was no small need for Heroes after all. As Monolith, Stone became one of Bay City’s champions; defending it from such menaces are the Demon Invasion and the maniacal machine God from space, Hybrid. He also earned the animosity of quite a few costumed villains with his strength of character and unfaltering resolve in the face of evil.

While adventuring with Myriad and the others, Stone was believed to be killed while repelling extra dimensional invaders. Instead of dying his, organic form was separated from his metallic components restoring him to humanity, but stripping his of his Monolith form forever. At first overjoyed, Matt found himself depressed after awhile. He’d grown someone addicted to the thrills of costumed adventuring during his brief but exciting career. So, like all other problems in his life, he turned his formidable to coming up with a solution

Powers: Matt has created a high tech arsenal for himself, one which is constantly improving and expanding. His variable setting force gun is a flexible weapon and his clothing is reinforced with a skin tight force field that provides amply protection in battle. Anti gravity units add mobility and he has small array of backup defensive measures. Still, his most potent weapons are his keen intellect and optimistic outlook.

Background: The young man known as Alex is the product of the same mysterious government project that created Myriad from scavanged alien biotechnology. Where Myriad was developed from the combat and defensives "organs" of the alien vessel, Alex (Or Nexus) as he has come to call himself was grown from the propulsion systems merged with human genetic material. Unlike Myriad, Alex's memories are totally implanted. His true "parents" that is the source of his human DNA is known only to the heads of the project which he fled from a young age and headed to Bay City, following his implanted memories.

Alex has been living by his wits for years, working as street artist, hustler and occasional vigilante superhero. He met up with his "sister" just a few months ago and she's helped forge a false ID for him as a student at Bay City University. She has no idea why she was programmed into the replicant as his siblings, but suspects it has something to do with her estranged father. She's grown to love the headstrong clone like a brother. His relationship with her best friend, Pandora Jinx has only strengthend their connection. Now Alex seeks his past and true origins. He has no idea of connection with Myriad though he does feel strangely drawn to him. The fact that the msyterious alien Techno organic "Toy" was able to interface with them both so easily also raises questions.

Powers: Nexus was engineered from the drive of a living starship, a reactionless propulsion system that manipulated pure kinetic force. He retais those abilites and can control an objects motion and inertia in several discrete ways. He has not mastered this ability to the extent of true flight but that is only a matter of time. Alex also has some of the keen sensors of the ship/beast that shares his genetic make up and his extremely well developed and acute senses.

Background: It was time for Wilakakenlow (Willow for short) to leave her mothers nest. While she had grown up in an isolated desolate place (alaska type climate), she loved trees, and was fascinated by humans. Her mother found(made?) a dimensional portal that they believed led to somewhere south in the same world. They were wrong. It actually opened up in an isolated area of Golden Gate park in Bay City. The view from the portal was in a forested area, with the occansional human. It looked like a good spot for Willow to go to make her fortune while she finished growing up to adulthood (I figure at least 100 years). Once there, she found things VERY different from what they appeared!

Magic:
Dragons are an inhearantly magical creature. Some have the natural ability to transform into humans. When they do so, their magical energies are concentrated, making them available to use to cast spells. The aspect of magic thus accessed varies from Dragon to Dragon. With Willow, her magic is plant aspected. A mature dragon eventualy learns to use magic even in Dragon form, making old Dragons truely something to fear!

Thus Willow is able to cast magic much more easily than a human mage (from her home world at least), though she still needed to learn how to control and access this power, giving some relationship to Mages. It helps that Magical energy in this world seems easy to tap.

Background: For most of her life, Samira remembered the following:

Her parents were the children of immigrants from Persia, modern day Iran, and had set up their own small business in New York. She had a good childhood, her family was well off, she did well enough in school and dancing classes. Unfortunately, her father refused to pay protection money to the mafia. The local tough guy was something of a psycho, even by the standards of professional criminals. He came back a week later, during the night. S amira hid in the closet as he tortured and killed her parents.

The police couldn't, or wouldn't do anything. She was bounced from foster home to foster home. So she decided to run away, and put an end to the thug herself. She followed him for months, waiting for the best time, learning his patterns, gathering evidence. She barely survived on the streets, but eventually the time came for her to make her move.

She ambushed him, but she was only a young girl, and weak at that from living on the streets. He beat her easily, and would have killed her if her powers hadn't suddenly emerged. She managed to put him down, but couldn't bring herself to kill him. She was no murderer. Fortunately she had enough for the police to put him away.

She worked as a solo hero for a time, before joining up with a team called the Knights. They became like a second family to her, and she met other people like her. And then a villain called Mastermind sealed the city from the outside world with a forcefield so he could hunt down the heros. He used his powers to dominate Samira's mind, trapping her inside her own body as he made her betray her friends and allies.

After Mastemind's defeat, she left New York for Bay City...

During her adventures in her new home, she discovered more about her origin. Her parents had worked as scientists at a government facility in the desert of the Southwest. Their experiments involved alien technology and dimensional travel. Unfortunately a plague was released, and the child Samira was infected and dying. Her parents transferred her consciousness to a new body of alien origin. They themselves either died during the plague, or in some later disaster, leaving Samira alone to be discovered by the recovery team. She's still not sure if her childhood memories occured when she was placed with a foster home pretending to be her parents, or if even that life was some kind of false memory.

She's an older character of Chris'. Originally, she was called Widow (as in Black Widow) and had more spider oriented powers. In Bay City, she's expanding her skills with her shape shifting and calls herself "Myriad" for her myriad forms.

Fun Facts about Widow/Myriad:

#1 She's actually naked in her heroic id. Her "Costume" is the result of her shapeshifting powers and is actually her skin. She tries not to think about it too much and was rather embarrased when the fact was "outed" in a recent article in a superhero fan magazine.

#2 She's recently become a mother of sorts. She was "impregnated" by an alien biomechanical while she was merged with it to lend her regeneration powers to the vessel. The "child" named Jr is a black orb that can sprout manipulative tentacles at will. Mother and child are doing quite fine.

Background: Pandora Jinx, unlikely name for an unlikely girl. She was born with her mutant powers, living life a top speed and never looking back. She’s always been a high energy sort, endeavoring to spread cheer and good times in her wake, bouncing from event to event with a good natured optimism.

Entering college with her good friend, June, Pandora took it into her mind to become a superhero after she used her powers to break up a hold up at the student union. June’s scientific expertise allowed her to craft suitably resistant clothing for her high speed friend. Pandora never wore a mask. She just thought it looked silly. Her career has been brief but flashy though she’s never fought and actual super villain until recently, Pandora, with her beauty, and outspoken ways has become something a local city celebrity. Her infamous television interview where she answered a fan question “What do you wear under the skirt” by mooning the audience and most of the Bay City still circulates on the internet. Her first superhuman conflicted with vile undead being The Glutton of Souls ended with her hospitalization for several days as it fed off of her metahuman life force.

Dervish seems to have caught the eye of some powerful extra dimensional entities seeking to her use hyper accelerated womb to host their spawn. Several attempts have been made on her... dignity by the “Black Mesa” entities over the past few weeks. Most recently, she was kidnapped by the simian scientist Primate Prime for unknown reason. But knowing Pandora’s good fortune and never say die attitude, she’ll be fine.
