Icarium Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm staring to work on a character based on some of my own background, it's a slow process as I'm still newish to the HERO System, but I'd love to see how others would build a neophyte MHI Employee...

Icarium Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Re: Monster Hunter - New recruit Here's the basics for 'Jarhead', just need to actually build the character now. My thought is to build 'Jarhead' pre MHI recruitment Jarhead had a 'normal' childhood, started fishing and hunting with his father and uncles at an early age. Jarhead enjoyed sports throughout his Senior High years, playing football, baseball and volleyball. He also worked at a fast food restaurant during High School and while he had to work for it did graduate with 'Honors'. After High School Jarhead enlisted in the USMC, served an eight year contract and saw combat during the first Gulf War. After releasing from active duty Jarhead worked at a retail store and attended a local community college pursuing degrees in education and philosophy before his monster encounter and recruitment into M.H.I. Everyman Skills (Modified) Navigation 8- Climbing 8- Concealment 8- Conversation 8- Deduction 8- AK: Vancouver Island 8- Orienteering 8- Native Language: English (4 points’ worth, with literacy) KS or PS(?): Sports 11- Survival Temperate/Subtropical (9+(INT/5))- PS: Fast Food/Retail at 11- Shadowing 8- Stealth 8- TF: Common Motorized Ground Vehicles 8- Using the Basic Military Training Package Deal from Dark Champions as a base I can see adding the following skills from his time in the Marine Corps: Running +1 KS: The Military World 11- KS: USMC History And Customs 11- PS: Marine 11- NCO School - Tactics AAV Driver - TF: Tracked Amphibious Assault Vehicle Combat Driving Paramedics WF: Crew Served Weapons Autofire Accurate Sprayfire 4 Contacts (4 points’ worth) and then 3 skill points towards combat skill levels with a specific firearm.

How did you put the box around the movement names' date=' like Running and such?[/quote'] It was a cut and paste from a HD3 html template. A couple of questions for anyone familiar with Martial Arts... 1) Does it make sense to take both the Basic Strike and Offensive Strike? 2) At the end of Grappling Throw it states "Must Follow Grab" so I'm assuming that he'll need the Standard Combat Maneuver Grab as well if he wants to be able to use Grappling Throw on someone?

As I understand it, that can be any Grab - the Standard Manuever (which everyone gets free) or any Martial Manuever with a "Grab" element.
