Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Valkyrie_(Hero)

Personality/Motivation: A mixture of warrior maiden and Justice seeking innocent! She's what she is by accident, and though she doesn't mind, they still were wrong.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A front line fighter. She trusts in her fantastic recovery abilities to see her through a fight and hopes to take them out faster than they can hurt her.

Campaign Use: Hero with the mindset of a viking warrior. Also has ties to archeology still. Old stuff that they need to identify.... she's their girl!

Appearance:

I thought that maybe she should be a brick/tank, but really the scrapper build suits her. She's a front line fighter regardless, finding the biggest baddie on the other side and making a bee-line. Unless ordered by Ms Liberty that is.

Powerwise, she's Thor with a dose of Wolverine. Powerful attacks with great staying power. Hurting her is not the problem, keeping her down is!

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Infernal

Personality/Motivation: Hatred of Evil, from overt like Circle of Thorns, to more hidden like Crey!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A flaming guy with a big ax. Find the biggest, baddest opponent and start hitting. He's smart enough to set up opponents for his allies though!

Campaign Use: From a world where evil is winning, he's a testament to what happens if good men do nothing!

So in addition to being a damage sponge, he's one of the real heavy hitters of the team.

Power wise, he was a bit hard as I did not want to make his strength TOO high, but enough to justify his brick role on the team. The fire shield makes it so he hurts you just being near you. For this reason I find that a double team with Valkyrie is a last resort, as he will be hurting her as well, but the extra damage may make it worthwhile!

Mr. R · January 18, 2018

SO as with the Freedom Phalanx some team tactics are in order.

As they lack the RAW power of the the FP, they rely on fast overwhelming attacks.

Infernal and Valkyrie take point and each find a dance partner. Ms Liberty, Mynx will triple team with Valkyrie, each doing a hit and run while Valkyrie keeps him occupied.

Meanwhile Swan, Luminary and Aurora Borealis will fly high and provide air support, especially to Infernal.

Malaise will sow confusion behind the scenes, using Illusions and holds. As well he and Swan will drain Str and Dex from any opponent Infernal is fighting.

If things go south, they will break into three supporting squads

#1 Infernal, Ms. Liberty and Swan

#2 Aurora Borealis, Luminary and Valkyrie

#3 Mynx and Malaise

So that is it for the Heroes.

But be afraid, as I will soon post the evils of ARACHNOS! (MWAHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!)

ScrewySquirrel · January 19, 2018

any room to post our own COH toons?

Mr. R · January 19, 2018

Go for it!

Mr. R · January 23, 2018

SO I converted some of the Arachnos Villains into hero terms. For an overview of the group see here:
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Arachnos

I did not do all, but rather will be presenting them as two teams, sort of like the Viper 4th Viper Force teams

So Arachnos Strike team #1

Lord Recluse
Mako
Black Scorpion
Scirocco
Ghost Widow

Team #2
Arbiter Sands (Protoge of Lord Recluse)
Barracuda (Protege of Mako)
Silver Mantis (Protege of Black Scorpion)
Ice Mistial (Protege of Scirocco)
Wretch (Devoted follower of Ghost Widow)

Yes I know these teams are smaller than the hero versions, but bear in mind they will usually have the support of a number of armed to the teeth agents. They are never alone!

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lord_Recluse

Personality/Motivation: A social Darwinist. He believes that the strong survive and take what they want from others. And he thinks he is the strongest and therefore can take what he wants from all others.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: They call him a summoner, but in reality he is a brick with a lot of followers. Agents, armoured agents and super-vehicles should be around him at all times. Add his high strength and the guns set up in his extra arms and you get a dangerous opponent either in HTH or at range!

Campaign Use: Leader of a villainous organization. Enough said!

Appearance:

One of the Big Bads in the game. He hits hard and getting to him is a chore in and of itself. Add his four underlings and you have major problems for what ever group you have.

Power wise I made him a brick with some ranged blasters and a number of minions. If you think he should have more go for it.

Tactics, always have some agents nearby to help swamp the opposition. Unless you have total superiority, retreat to attack later. He's not adverse to saving his own skin at the expense of an agent.

When he's with all four underlings he'll wait till the opponent is wounded before delivering the last blow. He doesn't so much lead his team as unleash them and hope they take out their objectives (If not they are weak and may have to be replaced, HMMMM possible story arc)

Personality/Motivation: He likes to fight. Also he is in love with technology, even if he is not terribly knowledgeable about it. He is in charge of the technical division because he wants the best new toys for himself first.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Find the biggest opponent and attack. If he can attack multiple people at once he'll do it to spread the misery! Also people forget the blaster attachments, so he can surprise opponents by striking at range before he charges in!

Campaign Use: One of Lord Recluse's most loyal subjects, his removal would greatly hurt the organization. There are rumours that if he's gone many of the scientist for Arachnos would leave.

Appearance:

SO a very straight forward build. It is armour and so can be removed or de-activated. Thus he's cheap, but it belies the raw power he has as a result.

Power wise, he's in that long line of bricks with some ranged attacks. In Hero the closest is Anklasauros with less ranged and more HTH.

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Captain_Mako

Personality/Motivation: Greed and a desire to do what he wants. Lord Recluse gives him fairly free reign so he can keep this unrepentant killer on speed dial.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A talented HTH master with great stealth abilities, though he rarely uses them as he prefers to be fairly public in his executions. But he is not stupid and will go stealth to gain an advantage or to escape!

Campaign Use: The opponent PC will love to put down. Even the most bloodthirsty PCs should be repulsed by him. He is what they could become if they don't moderate their ways!

Appearance:

So he's the HTH monster to Black Scorpion's all out assault. He may team with BScorp. but more likely find his own dance partner and try to disembowel them. He's not subtle at all.

Power wise he's Mynx with a few embellishments. I actually think I gave him too much DCV as the scrapper should be better in an open fight. But that is an easy fix.

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Scirocco

Personality/Motivation: He's under a curse to do evil and so has joined an evil agency to try and rise through the ranks and then betray it to good? He's a long term planner and will have contingencies to his plot. Of Lord Recluse's minions he's the most dangerous as he will do short term pain to get long term gain. Also he's in a tentative alliance with Ghost Widow, which makes the pairing VERY dangerous!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: He prefers ranged tactics, but will use his sword in HTH if he must. I will drop a Windstorm first as it will hinder his opponents, then a selection of lightning blasts!

Campaign Use: Is he serious about his redemption? He could be the weakest link in Arachnos's grand plan.

Appearance:

The one to watch. Of all the minions he actually is one of the more interesting. In a FTF conversations with him would be like talking to Deep Throat (Watergate) or Garak (DS9).

Power wise he's a reverse of one of my COH heroes Lord Cumulus, a Storm/Lightning Defender. I just messed with the powers a bit, and added some sword attacks. He's versatile, but it does make him expensive!

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ghost_Widow

Personality/Motivation: She isn't so much a ghost as a revenant. She dies, she come back, over and over again. Lord Recluse thinks he's loyal to him, but in reality it is to Arachnos, the organization. If he was doing something detrimental to the survival to Arachnos, then she will turn on him. As well, she desires peace, an end to her existence. As a result she is looking into ways to end her existence. This makes her fatalistic and angry. If she suffers, so will others. I big plot is her partnership with Scirocco to actually get out of Arachnos. If either succeed, this will almost cripple the organization.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: She's a Dominator, so a suite of holds and a set of reasonably powerful blasts. She's probably the most tactically aware of the four, using her powers to set up opponents for her allies. Her and Scirocco make a deadly team, much more so than Mako and Black Scorpion.

Campaign Use: Another weak link in the Arachnos chain of command. Find a way to finally settle her soul could be a long term story arc.

Appearance:

I can see why this NPC was so liked by many players. She's has such an interesting backstory. There are tonnes of plot hooks with her. Add an alliance with Scirocco and a pro-active group can hurt Arachnos real bad. In fact this would be a perfect arc for the Vindicators.

Power wise she's not as holdy as a Controller, or as blasty as a Blaster, but somewhere in the middle. This gives her some versatility, which makes her expensive.

Personality/Motivation: Loyal to Arachnos. He's not a misguided fool. He is a smart, resourceful agent, who has worked his way up the ranks. Everyone knows he's unconventional, but he gets results. Add that he's a cultured, well educated person and you get a very dangerous leader.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: As a leader, he'll stay at the back and lead his troops. His ranged attacks will support his allies, but if someone is foolish enough to attack HTH, will find his rod of office makes a very effective mace.

Campaign Use: The competent villain leader that you can respect, even if you have to fight him.

Appearance:

I loved this guy. For me the defining moment for him is the Statesman TF where he complains he can't finish his tea. Then he attacks.

Power wise he's a Wolf Spider with the Mace, Sight Sheild and body armour. If that were all, he has two drones with him that will attack any opponents he designates, adding to his fire support. As a result, he's expensive.

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Barracuda

Personality/Motivation: Greed and an unknown compulsion that keeps her diving around the Rogue Isles looking for something. And it will be all hers. She has no allies, just temporary associates. Even Mako should be careful around her, for as long as their goals match, she will be loyal. FOR AS LONG.......

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: She has gained great psychic abilities as well as some powers that reflect the COLD deeps of the ocean. Alone she will snipe at range, and drain the speed from her enemies. In a group, it is very mush the same, but the Drain/Heal will come into effect as a way to hurt enemies and add her teammates.

Campaign Use: Secrets man was NOT meant to know. What is she looking for and what will it mean for the Rogue Isles when she finds it? This could be a long story arc where the team will have to work with Arachnos to take out Super-Barracuda and her minions. Or do they let her run rampant to take out Arachnos when they are weak? What if she wins?

Appearance:

So the Powers are OK, but the hooks she provides are nasty.

I may have gotten some of it wrong, but mostly I focused on Psychic and Cold powers. Add more at your choice.

Powers/Tactics: An Ice blast / Storm she has a number of attacks and a nasty ice block (entangle) For groups she will drop the Ice Rain or Frost Cone. Also she will stay airborne as much as possible. In a group, the Ice Block will take center stage as a means of setting up opponents to be concentrated on.

Campaign Use: She's a

Appearance: bit of a Wild Card. She's devoted to Scirocco as long as he can protect her. Otherwise she is gone. This could lead to another villain group luring her away with a better offer, especially if Scirocco is eliminated or compromised (IE freed from his curse)

So she's a bit of a cypher. I had to extrapolate a bit on her background. I like that she is an unknown quantity. This adds to the idea that Arachnos is NOT monolithic, and has factions than can be played against each other!

Power wise, a Ice / Storm Corrupter (reverse defender). So a suite of traditional ice attacks with the Storm abilities that I gave to Scirocco. She's cheap, but her powers all work well together.

Personality/Motivation: She is fascinated with adding to her metallic additions. This is her major goal in life. Her alliance with Arachnos is just a marriage of convenience. If a better prospect from another source came up, then she may decide to change sides. Arachnos losing Black Scorpion would certainly make her question her alliance. Other wise she is a stone cold killer whose obcession has made her totally lose her moral compass.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: She can for the metal on her into blades that she can hurl or send out in a burst around her, or even cause to swirls around in a cloud around her. As well the metal forms an armour that protects her from harm!

Campaign Use: All enemies need one member that PC will have no problems squashing. Here she is. Her totally bent morality means she is capable of anything that will horrify the PCs. Be careful with this as too much will take your campaign to a very dark place.

Appearance:

So the lady makes for the villain the players will want to take out. This suites Arbiter Sands as if all concentrate on her, then that leaves the rest of his team free to attack.

Power wise she's a spines stalker, and unlike Mako will certainly make more use of her stealth abilities. This is the reason she his hard to capture. She will slip away if ordered, or if it looks like she will lose.

Background/History: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Wretch

Personality/Motivation: He's a revenant, an undead being that will return again and again until it's focus is dealt with. In his case, it is to protect Ghost Widow. Until she truly dies, he will keep coming back. So he has been told to follow Arbiter Sands. Unless Sands gives him a conflicting order, her will follow, as it is what Ghost widow wants.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: He's a brick. No subtlety, just get in and hurt the enemy.

Campaign Use: He's the sympathetic side to the enemy. His state should have the PC's wanting to end his suffering. The fact that it will end Ghost widow as well is a bonus. For Sands, he's two things. One: an uncorruptible team mate. Wretch will be loyal to Sands, which means anyone wanting to hurt him may have to go through Wretch first. Two: A sacrificial lamb. Sands is not afraid to bug out and leave Wretch behind. He'll probably die before being captured and re-awaken in the Rogue Isles!

Appearance:

He's got the most interesting backstory, which means plot hooks.

Power wise, he's the team strong man. Find the biggest opponent, and take him out.

Mr. R · February 2, 2018

So again some team tactics.

First, assume that there will be agents about. Sands can request them any time he wants. And Sands is a good tactician and will use his agents effectively.

Sands himself will be at the back directing the agents and firing blasts towards his enemies. His drones will support him, firing at usually the same targets.

Wretch and Silver Mantis will take point. A combo attack from them can be devastating.

If ordered Silver Mantis will sneak to the rear of the enemy and strike when Sands deem the moment right.

Ice Mistral and Barracuda will hang back. Both are ranged specialist and prefer to be there.

Sands is the lynch pin. The effectiveness of the other four should be a lot less if he is taken out.

Mr. R · February 15, 2018

SO I have decided to have a little more fun with this thread. So using the power sets as inspirations, I will make five PCs from each of the following Achtypes:

Blaster
Defender
Dominator
Scrapper
Tanker

Note these will not be exact versions by any means, but just as a means to get some creative juices flowing and see what I can come up with!

So stay tuned!

Background/History: Armande Alexander. Spanish mother, English father. Raised in England but at a young age started travelling in Europe. At an early age his sense of fair play manifested itself in attempts to fix events where certain people were taken advantage of, by either governments or individuals who had power and believed it entitled them to doing what they want. Soon he was being courted by certain people in (insert Until like group) to become an agent. He took to it quickly and soon became a well regarded agent.

That was years ago and the fight is starting to weigh on Armande. But his desire for Justice keeps him motivated. And recently he was approached for a special unit in (Insert) called Team Alphabet. Each agent would have a letter for their code name, given some state of the art equipment and allowed to follow their own leads and sources, coming together for larger threats. So Armande, Code Name: Agent A, is now travelling the world, looking for people to help, and offering his services if needed.

Personality/Motivation: Agent A is a mixture of a sincere desire for justice and a weariness of a person who has been in the battle a long time. But he is an experienced agent with a number of skills accumulated over a long career.

Quote: Are we really going to do this? Oh well?

Powers/Tactics: As an agent with years of training and experience. Out of combat he will investigate to the best of his ability, and talk to his connections and sources. In combat he prefers to fight at range. His pistol is a state of the art with multiple loads for various contingencies. As well he is a talented HTH fighter who is not afraid to tangle with an opponent. Many a villain has been surprised by his leg sweep that he used to set up for an ally.

Campaign Use: A combo ranged and HTH fighter with a number of skills.

Appearance: A combo of british and spanish features. He wears a black and red costume reminiscent of those worn by (Until) with a bulky black pistol. As well he has a small back jetpack.

So this is based on a Pistol- Martial Arts blaster. I started with the idea of a talented agent, basically on detached assignment. He still has access to the agency and a small pool of equipment. This includes his jet pack, vision goggles, basic armour, and his pistol. The pistol has multiple loads including a multi fire setting, fire rounds for those who are resistant to physical attacks, cryo rounds to take opponent out non violently and impact rounds to knock them off their feet, usually to set up for an ally. As well he has good HTH abilities.

So he's a bit expensive, even with the discount on equipment, but a skill monkey is expensive. As well, if you think some skills are too low, go ahead and improve them!

Background/History: Gabhasti Khatri is an expert in electrical engineering and metallurgy, looking at making easy to use superconductors. As such he was in the US looking at American developments in the field. One promising venue was using a new experimental composite alloy. But a prejudiced “America First” technician sabotaged a demonstration he was in, severely injuring him as parts of the exploding alloy lacerated him and placed him in the hospital. It took months of effort and recuperation before he was able to go back to work. Then he noted the changes. The alloy was working with his own electrical field to amplify it. He was a living super conductor. Even as he resisted the urges, he was dragged into participating in various adventures. Now he has joined the (Until type supergroup) so he can use his abilities to help others, and have access to cutting edge research.

Personality/Motivation: A sincere desire to help others. He still is unsure of his abilities, and has a major fear of fire, but on the whole is fairly stable and personable.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Classic flying blaster. Get airborne, start firing at the opponent. His power sink allows him to go up against energy wielders as he can shake off their attacks and amplify his abilities.

Campaign Use: Blaster scientist. Also he is from India, so this could lead to an adventure in his homeland involving hi tech villainy.

Appearance: A high caste Indian gentleman, black hair and dark brown eyes, about 80 kg and 170 cm. His costume is blue and white.

So an electric/electric blaster with flight. I decided to make him an energy absorber for use against opposing energy users. All in all he is a pretty straight up build with a lot of room for improvement!

Background/History: Penelope Ogilvie is your quintessential english young lady. She went to public school, got good grades and looked ready to head into the family business. Which was not very legal. Problem was she hated the life. Her family had become wealthy enough that they could go legitimate. But they were enamoured of the life-style. Then came the Event, when (insert villain) tried to bring an eternal night to the nearby city as a stepping stone to more power. Unfortunately he over extended himself and when the device stopped working he was defeated. But it had an effect on Penelope. Latent powers of darkness and the mind awakened in her. Now she had the power to step away from her family and use her powers to help people that take from them. Only her brother, now a member of (insert evil villain agency) disagreed, and hunts her to try and bring her back into the fold. He doesn’t realise it is a lost cause. Obsidian likes he new life>

Personality/Motivation: Penelope is a curious young lady who wants to make up for all her family’s crimes. That her powers allow her to sneak around effectively, and she has a skill set for getting into places and areas, and she makes for an effective starting investigator. She realises she needs more skills and is working on trying to find someone to train her!

Quote: If I’m careful, they’ll never notice me.

Powers/Tactics: Obsidian’s powers are a combination of mental powers and darkness. She has a dark shield that gives her protection and allows her to levitate. It also can be extended to darken an area with extra shadows to make it harder to see her (think a dark fog effect). Her other abilities are mental attack that have a visible dark manifestation. Her favourite is the Presence of the Night as it can scare opponents away if she does it right. But she’s not afraid of lashing out with what she thinks will work best.

Campaign Use: A young hero with ties to a criminal life she is trying to leave behind. I am sure you can think of something.

Appearance: Pale peaches and cream complexion and blonde hair, she is 165 cm and 68 KG. Her costume consists of a pair of leggings (dark grey) and a loose top (same) with a dark hood under which she hides her hair.

So this was darkness and mental manipulation. So I melded them together. Her mental powers have a visible dark manifestation, and the one physical power she has uses her OECV to target (they get to use regular DCV to defend). Add a couple of creative utility powers and I think she's pretty competent.

Personality wise I went the NON goth route. I am so tired of darkness based characters being made Emo's. PLEASE NO! So I went the opposite. Perky blond. Then it was a matter of thinking of a backstory that justified the skills and her reasons to use them.

Background/History: Bataar Luk is you average Mongolian teenager, who liked the traditional archery of his people. He practiced a lot. But at a competition he totally destroyed the target. It was found that he was a mutant, with energy projection capabilities. But he as a crutch, it seems to only be able to focus this energy in the form of arrows from a bow. So he was given training to improve his abilities and he has decided to use his abilities to help protect his people.

Personality/Motivation: Pinpoint is very confident in his ability and training. Almost fool hardy. But he wishes to learn the skills necessary to be not only a protector but also a problem solver, starting with crimes, but later diplomacy and conflict resolution.

Quote: Yes, I can hit it!

Powers/Tactics: Pinpoint is an archer type character, but his arrows are formed of energy. He knows that his arrows can not solve all situations, so he also has a selection of grenades also to help set up his enemies. Though he has glider wings, his fear of heights keep him from getting too high, so they are used more to get around effectively!

Campaign Use: A archer type with a slightly different background!

Appearance:

So this was a Archer/ gadget blaster. I found that this build was very interesting as the gadgets gave me a bunch of ideas for other tools/ devices and tricks. He does come across like a super agent type, but given the tools this is almost a given. I decided to make the archery a mutant power using Sundance from the Algernon Files as an inspiration.

And I made him Mongolian because I could.

Power wise, he's a classic blaster. Sit at range and pepper your opponent. Use the grenades to set them up.

Background/History: Fathom’s background is not well known. Many feel she is the victim of some magic ritual, or of some scientific experiment. She has some memories , especially of fighting against polluters of air and water. And of the cold. So cold. Some feel she was an activist, who got on the bad side of some environmental polluters possibly in the North. Regardless, she is now revived and making her way in the world. She continues her fight, but now she has better tools. Many try to stop her, but her new abilities allow her to defend herself much better.

Personality/Motivation: As a being of mostly water, she feels that the pollution of water is almost a direct attack on her. She does not go out of her way to target them, but it does affect her choices when it does come up. Also she has a justifiable fear of cold, as it seems to affect her more deeply!

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A highly agile being who is hard to hit, much less hurt, Fathom is not afraid to get into the middle of a fight, trusting her abilities to protector. She prefers her Water Blast, but will go to her Cannon if needed. An Eye Wash to blind an opponent paired with a Clear Water (invisible) allows some possible positioning. And if needed some AE abilities can handle groups of opponents!

Campaign Use: If there is an EVIL CORPORATION in your campaign, that could be involved in pollution, then here is a good link!

Appearance: At 170 cms and 70 KG, she presents a striking figure. She has blue eyes and blue hair so dark it resembles black. Her costume is a green one piece that covers her upper arms and legs!

So she's a water blaster. I know it wasn't in the live game, but was slatted for a future release. And Cold for a secondary gave me the idea for a cold water based blaster. Rather than a FF I gave her more intrinsic defenses. And water always seemed to be a type to flow around attacks. Otherwise it was make a traditional blaster.

Background/History: Hailing from a small town in southern Mexico, Violeta Medina was a middle aged mother of five who was struggling to make ends meet. Then the (Insert Villainous agency) came to her small town and started taking people to work on some sort of dangerous dig. Two of her sons were taken and Violeta started raising a stink to the government to do something. But before they could take action, Violeta was taken and made an example of. But somehow the death that she was supposed to get did not claim her, but instead she gained great speed and recovery abilities. By now the government was taking action, and she used her abilities to aid them in taking down the dig. The changes though were permanent. Her family accepted her, but the town was suspicious of her new abilities and prefered she move. So Violeta left her only home and joined a local team for extra training. The english translation of her name is Wind Storm.

Personality/Motivation: A o has gained superpowers. She will protect people as that is what mothers do.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: A speedster with HTH combat training, she uses hit and runs. Though she can do a stand up fight, she is also a practical lady and will fight dirty to win!

Campaign Use: An older lady, she has the perspective of an older person and mother.

Appearance: A beautiful spanish lady with long black hair with grey highlights (she earned every grey hair), she dresses in leggings and tight top over which she wears a more traditional top and skirt combo. Her hair is tied in a bun out of practicality.

So many heroes are teenagers / mid twenties types, unless brilliant scientist, then they may get to thirty. So what if a fifty year old mother got the powers. So I went with this idea. Personally I'd love to play a concept like this.

Power wise this is a Martial Art / Super Regen scrapper with super speed. She's a true hit and run type, both from powers and from inclination.
