In fact, he believes that the book was based on facts and that he and his family were distant descendants of the man. He went to medical school and studied to become a pharmacist. In his spare time, he tries to recreate the formula which created Minister Hyde in the first place. He successfully created a formula much like the legendary Hyde formula and used it upon himself. Smiling with dark rapture, he decided that the entire city must also be under his influence. He started to provide drugs to the streets, actually inventing some new stuff over time Quote: "Well, how do you feel? Don't you feel like you can do anything? And don't care about anyone but yourself? There's more where that came from if you just let me be." Powers/Tactics: As Professor Hyde, Henry Jerkal has discovered a chemical formula which changes his body into that of a savage brute. He becomes stronger, faster, braver, more frightening, and more dangerous. While the original drug created by Dr. Jeckel actually changed the personality of the user, his drug doesn't actually do that. Professor Hyde also carries some drugs which increases the strength and speed of others (among others uses). He can either use them on himself if his abilities don't seem up to snuff, or upon his henchmen. He is likely to horde the healing medication for himself, but other vials he can use however he feels like. The gestures are pulling out the drug and administraing it to his body (usually by pill or liquid by mouth, but not always). He does have a weakness. If he is fed the Hyde Formula when he is transformed, he will change back to his weak self. The formula usually only last between three to five hours (give and take), and this usually have two or three vials of the formula in his coat, just in case. Personality/Motivation: Henry Jerkal/Professor Hyde loves money and doesn't care about the lives of others. He enjoys addicting others to his drugs, and doesn't care how young the victim is. He doesn't view it as his fault if they get addicted or die. Improvement Options: As he is written up right now he doesn't have any offensive chemicals to use against his opponents. He might just create some drugs which cause halutionations, temporary blindness, Strength loss, among other effects. He might just also mutant under the formula, developing new powers over time. Appearance: As Harry Jerkal, he looks like your average man with blonde hair, cleanshaven, average height and weight, with blue and clear eyes. As Professor Hyde he changes into a hulking man with black hair and bloodshot eyes. His "costume" is a victorian style lab coat he puts on over whatever he is wearing currently, with various drug viles on the inside of his lab coat. The lab coat is usually white, but is discolored because of various chemical spills. Modulars Used: Characteristics: Average Joe Backgrounds: The Ex-Criminal, The Scientist, The Inventor. Powers Modules: Beast Mode. Equipment Modules: Executive Armor, Potions. Edited January 6 by Stanley Teriaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Teriaca Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 Plot Seeds: Better Living Through Chemistry: Professor Hyde has developed a new formula which is highly addictive and does nothing else. Can you stop the drug before it becomes an epidemic? Attack Of The Hydes: Professor Hyde has developed a weaker version of the formula which changes himself into Professor Hyde and distributed it to his henchmen. The First Hit Is Free: Professor Hyde plans to spike the city water supply in order to addict the entire city. Once he gets the city, he'll cut off the water supply and charges everyone lots of money for continued addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Teriaca Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 As written Professor Hyde might be too dark for most campaings. I mean he is literally a drug pusher with super powers and a mean streak. You might be able to salvage him by actually having him work on creating new medication and not "drugs". To cure something but not in an ethical way, like an underground doctor. Or to make him a more general purpose street level mastermind. Controlling all crime in a ten block radius of his headquarters. He is ment to be a street level villain. His ambitions should never be higher than the control of a city or two.

Stanley Teriaca Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) ByThe first writeup is considered the first draft. This one is the modified second draft, which I copied and pasted to modify. Thanks to @BoloOfEarth for the suggestion. I'm not using everything, but I am using a lot of his suggestions. He doesn't actually have much END, but he is a villain. Tiring him out is an acceptable tactic against him (especially for the increase movement). Yes using his extra meters of Running and Leaping in Beast Mode doesn't actually increase his END cost, but the Aid to his running and leaping will knock him to exhausting.

Rich McGee Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 16 hours ago, Stanley Teriaca said: How would you improve this villain? Not mechanical advice, but you can always tone down the grim reality of drug dealer villains by turning them into awkward parody baddies like the ones in OTT 80s and 90s PSAs, or some of the well-intentioned but absurd anti-drug use comics from the Big Two. Remember the pusher who transforms into a snake-man over the course of the commercial? Very hard to take that stuff as seriously as it was intended, although you still want to check with your table to make sure everyone's okay with the subject as a whole. You don't want to laughing at clumsy PSA efforts to deal with a very unfunny subject if it's going to trigger anyone. Chaosium's Superworld RPG has an actual module called Bad Medicine For Doctor Drugs, which is pretty much just what it sounds like. I thought it was noteworthy enough to deserve an homage over in the Sentinel Comics RPG as well. And because I've done a lot of proof work over the years, Hyde may be vile indeed, but his drugs come in a vial. Just another English homophone for you.

Stanley Teriaca Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) It should be noted that I don't have a game or players. This was just an exercise in character creation (especially villain creation). I used Champions: Heroes In A Hurry book as inspiration for the villain. The big idea here is an homage of Doctor Jeckel/Mister Hyde, who's thing is drug addiction and the question of what is evil. Of course, this character isn't the only homage to the same source (Marvel's own Mr. Hyde comes to mind really easily).

Stanley Teriaca Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 History/Origin: Harry Jerkal always was fascinated by The Strange Case off Doctor Jeckel and Mister Hyde. In fact, he believes that the book was based on facts and that he and his family were distant descendants of the man. He went to medical school and studied to become a pharmacist. In his spare time, he tries to recreate the formula which created Minister Hyde in the first place. He successfully created a formula much like the legendary Hyde formula and used it upon himself. Smiling with dark rapture, he decided that the entire city must also be under his influence. He started to provide drugs to the streets, actually inventing some new stuff over time Quote: "Well, how do you feel? Don't you feel like you can do anything? And don't care about anyone but yourself? There's more where that came from if you just let me be." Powers/Tactics: As Professor Hyde, Henry Jerkal has discovered a chemical formula which changes his body into that of a savage brute with the mind of a scientist.He is not actually a genius but with hard work is able to create new drugs. He invented a drug very similar but not exactly like the infamous drug which turned Doctor Henry Jerkal to turn into Mr. Hyde. When transformed he becomes stronger, faster, with better mobility and able to use his strength in rather savage ways. He is also braver and more threatening when transformed into his brute form. The transformation only lasts about three to five hours (depending on the needs of the GM), and can be ended early by taking the formula while transformed. Since he has a habit of carrying two to four vials of the formula at all times, one could search his body when he is stunned for the formula and force him to take it. It should be noted that only Harry Jerkal can be affected by his formula normally. Professor Hyde also carries various vials of drugs with him. Most of his drugs he can either use on himself or his henchmen. He tends to horde the healing medication for himself. He has two different drugs which he uses on his enemies. One is a halutionations causing arasol must which he only has three doses. Another is a liquid which is fast absorbing and reduces the target's bravery (Drain Presence). Resources : Hyde is actually quick to excape as he doesn't want his other identity to be revealed by being captured. He is usually surrounded by henchmen, mostly just normal humans. He doesn't have henchmen and bases on his sheet, as it is up to the GM to decide. Most of his henchmen are street gang members who profit from the new drugs to sell on the street. He can hire any street level supervillains and can count on the villain Blackhead, which he created the drug which permanently transformed him. Personality/Motivation: Henry Jerkal/Professor Hyde loves money and doesn't care about the lives of others. He enjoys addicting others to his drugs, and doesn't care how young the victim is. He doesn't view it as his fault if they get addicted or die. Improvement Options: As he is written up right now he doesn't have any offensive chemicals to use against his opponents. He might just create some drugs which cause halutionations, temporary blindness, Strength loss, among other effects. He might just also mutant under the formula, developing new powers over time. Appearance: As Harry Jerkal, he looks like your average man with blonde hair, cleanshaven, average height and weight, with blue and clear eyes. As Professor Hyde he changes into a hulking man with black hair and bloodshot eyes. His "costume" is a victorian style lab coat he puts on over whatever he is wearing currently, with various drug viles on the inside of his lab coat. The lab coat is usually white, but is discolored because of various chemical spills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Teriaca Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) Professor Hyde's Test Subject Brigade. Hyde keeps close tabs on the various super junkies his drugs have either directly or indirectly created. Blackhead is his most loyal of his agents, and is probably the first to volentear to steal whatever Professor Hyde needs. And to try whatever he created. Hyde is rather weary of Desperationado. He knows he is now immune to drugs and on that one hand, the chance to actually invent a drug which would even give Desperationado a high would be the ultimate challenge. But, he doesn't actually trust anyone he can't physically addict. Rainbow Ray's gender change fasinates Professor Hyde. And hir disgust twords the Professor actually pleases him. Professor Hyde is less interested in Blood Rush then the others. Instead, he is fascinated with Shadowmoon, the martial artist vigilante following Blood Rush. So he allows Rush to be bait to attack Shadowmoon into a trap to either kill or addict him. The Overdose is nothing but a walking deathtrap who is dangerous to even Professor Hyde himself. Basically a zombie dripping with various touch activated drugs which require skin contact to use. The Professor hides him away to keep him from running away.

Stanley Teriaca Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) I have done my writeups much like how the Big Blue Book use to do things, as the total points being 'Based Points + Complication Points". This isn't how things are done currently. You can do any one of these things. 1) Assume that each villain had enough experience to earn 75 experience points before they began. 2) Reduce the points of each writeup by 75 points so they are "6 edition compilant". 3) Feel free to rebuild the writeup in a way which works for you. Your probably going to do this anyway. I legally give you permission to do so. Edited January 8 by Stanley Teriaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
