Your first Champs character.

[Haerandir]

My first Champions character was Asbestos, the man who could survive in a burning building. Remarkably useful power set, actually. I've played him several times since.

That was my friend's, Neal, first character. He took Seeker copied him down, gave him a new name and slightly different background.

 

I ran him through the sample combat scenario with Ogre robbing the bank. Ogre hit him with a table (AoE, 1-2 hexes) and did some heavy body, but Seeker-Neal was able to capture ogre. Seeker-Neal spent two-three months healing body.

 

Neal loves Champions, but hates Martial Artists.

my first character was a CREEPER rip-off; a DEX/BRICK who dressed like a beefed up, early 80's adam ant ("stand and deliver" era--hey! it WAS the early 80's, folks!!), and called himself "THE MANIAC...."

 

i quite enjoyed myself being both antic and goofy--much to the shegrin of my GM and my fellow players, but ultimately, the character was TOO well balanced to have much effect on the combat-optimized, 450pt monstrosities we fought against, so i traded him in for someone more combat effective--a SPD 13 MA w/ AP martials arts, named CAT....

Could you *be* any more obscure? Most folks would rip off Spidey, or Wolverine or Batman. Not you. What sort of weirdo rips off the Creeper?

[Southern Cross]

Wasn't Thunderbunny a ripoff (O.K. homage) to Hoppy the Marvel Bunny?

The first character I built when I got Champions in 1983 was Space Ghost, based on his Hanna-Barbera namesake. The first character I actually played was Phase, a teleporting, desolidification scientist type whose unstable life energies were contained in a form-fitting metal suit.

[Vorsch]

My first character back in 1985ish, my first rpg, was a scientist in power armour. I had read the rules and noticed like a true powergamer the advantage of MP, and OIF armour.

 

Quite basic except for the 4d6 HKA that i sneaked past the GM, oh yes i had 60str as well.

60 str 33

Total 270 ( 20 over but we took extra hunteds )

 

First adventure was the island of Dr D

Other characters were a 160str thor character, and a energy blaster who stuck to 10dc 20def limit.

 

we all ended up in a radiation accident ang gained 50 XP which i used to weld 4 tentacle arms to power armour back, and increase my dex to 45.

 

Good fun, ps i killed that thunder guy from corrupters of all with one hit.

I never had a first character. I've made up characters since before time.

[Mayday]

My first Champions character was Mayday based on my Carmen & Company Mayday NPC, followed a half hour later by a pyrokinetic girl named Cinder (also C&Co.). 4th Ed in 1986-7

 

My first superhero was Gemini, in 1981-82 for a comic book I did for 5 years or so faithfully every month. Gemini had the power of shapeshift and a mindlink with the person she switched to. Later on after Id read the Dark Phoenix saga she took on Jean Grey and the mind link got erm, jammed? Just a lil bit...

 

The other team members included a telekinetic, a density guy (gaseous or dense, the denser the stronger) and his baby sister with force fields and invisibility. In hindsight a copy of the Invisible Girl but I didnt realize it at the time.

[Wolven]

My first Champs character was a brick named Titan. I modeled him after one of the Shogun Warriors. When he would grow to his full height he would look exactly like Raydeen. I also made him an alien whos powers came from the sun. ala superman. He was just a very tall brick who could fly. hehe. man that was like 20 years ago now.

 

 

[Ken Solo]

My first character (and still favorite) was White Dwarf/Todd Berrymoor.

As I was in 7th grade when I was introduced to Champions in early '82, I tended to misunderstand a few fine points. I thought the rules told me I HAD to spend 100 points (no more, no less) in Characteristics, then Powers were paid for with whatever Disads I could come up with.

So, WD had a 110 STR and 10 everything else. He had a 90 pt. multipower with flight, an A.P.E.B, and a Force Field set at 80rPD/10rED. That was pretty much it.

As you can guess, when I did/do get a chance to play him, he got trounced a lot.

 

I recall an early fight (first combat?) with a brick where I needed a 7- to hit. And I thought it was GREAT!

 

Now after 20+ years (I don't get to play much) he still sucks, but I like the big lug!

[Yogzilla]

First Champions character actually started out as a V&V character, but we switched systems within 6months, so I still count it.

 

Power Knight

A flying brick with energy blasts and enhanced sensor suite (built into his 'visor' - think nifty sunglasses).

[Quanjoh]

Quanjoh is creating his first character. Quanjoh's father played before Quanjoh was born and played a character named Blue Mist. She was a pro wrestler/brick with multiple levels of density increase-persistant.
