A time-portal opens...

[Wanderer]

and out of it step a group, probably a team, of metahumans. They apparently come from the future, or an alternate dimension, since they appear to be the offsprings of today's foremost metahumans, crackling with power well beyond their parents' expectations.

 

It is uncertain whether they come as saviors and protectors or tyrants and menaces, and what moved them to travel to the past (Earth conquered by a menace even more powerful than they, or destroyed by one they could not prevent even with all their power, or maybe by their own arrogance or carelessness, or just the desire to pick an easy prey), and the full extents of their abilities is still unclear, immense as they have to be.

 

But as they step forward, they identify themselves as

Hyperstorm, the child of Gravitar and Holocaust

the Champion, the offspring of Firewing and Viperia

Northstar, the child of Photon and Tachyon

And...

 

Anyone cares to elaborate (additional membership, motivation, stats, background, speculation...)

[Derek Hiemforth]

Megalos The Unending, scion of Istvatha V'Han and Tyrannon The Conqueror...

[freakboy6117]

Perfection The Bride of Teleios.

 

telios creates a female duplicate a perfect woman to be his bride unfortunatly for him she is just as ruthless and possibly even smarter than him. unfortunatly for him she didn't like his plans and used her feminine wiles to defeat him and take over in an attempt to make a better world for her children/creations.

[Lord Liaden]

Janus, the son of Defender and Witchcraft. Master of both technology and sorcery. Archmage of future Earth in a mighty powered-armor suit.

[CrosshairCollie]

FOXBIRD, child of Foxbat and Hummingbird, armed with the Legendary Ping-Pong Ball Gun and gifted with the ability to shrink. Now if only the gun shrank too *desperately tries to reach trigger while holding gun barrel up*

[Gary]

Cheeze Wiz, the scion of the two cheesiest characters in CKC, Nebula and Captain Chronos.

 

Cheese Wiz's special power is that he can ignore any GM set limits, and use any combination of powers and advantages, even ! and stop sign powers. He is a walking plot device, even more so than his parents.

[Lord Liaden]

Here are a few more that came to me:

 

UltiMech, the ultimately-evolved model of Mechanon. UltiMech's computer brain has evolved beyond the constraints of its original genocidal programming, although in what direction remains to be seen.

 

Dominance, daughter of Esper by Menton, who was amused at the notion of seducing a known misanthrope. The alien swarm infusing Esper sensed the developing child's tremendous psionic potential, and left Esper to bond with Dominance, enhancing her power beyond even that of her father.

 

Victor, physically deformed but equally brilliant clone of Dr. Destroyer. Destroyer was displeased with the result of his experiment and planned to destroy him, but Victor escaped the Doctor and ultimately overthrew his "father." He now hides his distorted features beneath an updated model of Destroyer's own armor.

 

(In case it isn't obvious, "Victor" is a play on "Victory," "Victor von Doom" and "Victor Frankenstein.")

[Vanderbilt_Grad]

I’ve seen the UltiMech and Perfection entries … but how about: Teleion, the perfect fusion of man and machine!

 

Teleion was the result of an accident. Both Mechanon and Teleios were fond of contingences. Both planned for resurrection on the off chance that something or someone unforeseen managed to kill their current bodies. Unfortunately for them they both chose nearly the same location. Their secret backup labs sat adjacent to one another, separated by just one thin wall, for almost 5 years before an unsuspecting city worker accidentally linked their communication systems. The end result was that the two merged creating a composite body from Teleios’ clone and Mechanon’s backup body. Teleion, as the new being called himself was the perfect fusion of man an machine. His entire body is composed of an odd combination of biological and machine structures inhabited by living nano machines that are the source of many of his powers.

Green Seeker Dragon! The skilled and awesome mistress of the Martial Arts, defeater of the Death Dragon, refounder of Yengtao Temple and daughter of some shirtless aussie guy and Lin Chow, Green Dragon's sister.

 

Edit: Although after arriving, she changes her name to something less anime sounding and more superheroic, Seeking Dragon.

[Wanderer]

Nova, the scion of Gigaton and Victory.

 

When the good old Doctor was vanquised by his "son", Gigaton left his organization and wandered aimlessly, disllusioned and listeless. He met Victory, they discovered a common military background and sympathized...

Celestial Dragon. Son of Green Dragon and Solitaire. Green Dragon decided to get back at Seeker by seducing someone close to him. Having almost no manners or seductive skills whatsoever, it came as a total shock when Solitaire saw something special deep inside him and responded. Green Dragon decided he liked beautiful Western women after all, and thus the savage beast was tamed.

 

Their son now carries both his parent's skills at magic and martial arts. In fact, he is able to achieve most of the craziest martial arts stunts in the Wuxia genre, as his innate magic gets channeled as Chi energy. Traditional magic is more difficult for him which is why he probably will never become Archmage, unless he learns to master the impatient nature that he inherited from his father.

[Wanderer]

OK, so let's make some wild shot at jotting down the stats of these 2-gen luminaries. Here is the tentative char sheet of Hyperstorm (the progeny of Gravitar and Holocaust): details are left fuzzy on whether (s)he embraced the career of heroism or public menace (even if I picture him/her straddling a middle of the fence path of the anti-hero: rebellious to society but striving to do some good).

 

11/02/04: the char sheet has been revised to address the complaints about the legality of the character

Since you have unlimited points to play with, why don't you build Hyperstorm legally and take the Characteristics and 0 End powers out of the EC?

It is legal. Those are "GM permission". Since he's the GM, I guess he gave himself permission.

That would only make it legal in his specific campaign world. Which is really unnecessary since if he's spending 1459 pts, he could just as easily spend 1800 or 1900 points and get exactly the same thing.

[Guest Champsguy]

Ah, but what if he's running a 1459 point campaign???

 

I guess I just make a distinction between "illegal" and "GM Permission". Illegal is stuff like Comeliness that Does Knockback, or Ablative Energy Blasts.

[Mavnn]

Hey!

 

I like the idea of Comliness that does KB.

 

Although I'd probably buy it as some kind of NCC No range explosive energy blast, does no damage, only effects socks...

That's exactly. I had a long hard look with myself, and told to my estimeed counterpart: "Franco, those rules about not putting non-End-using powers or special powers in an Elemental Control or not being able to link or combine powers from the same into a Multiple-Power Attack are really silly, and I don't want any of it around; and I should deactivate them in the HD", and my mirror image agreed enthusiastically.

 

Anyway, that use of EC, besides the welcome sense of tidiness that comes from arranging most powers in three multipowers, is meant to mark that the abilities of Hyperstorm are still in an immature stage (an enemy that Drains the EC, does away with all body-enhancing abilities and superhuman characteristics). A slightly more experienced character frees most or all of body enhancements from the EC, and drops the Variable Limitation and Nonselective Area limitations on the Multipower slots. In a more long-term perspective, the Multipowers may also evolve in VPPs, or the Multipowers' reserves and slots might rise to 120-125, boosting chars and defensive powers in proportion, or might gain some additional power (like a Damage Shield, or some Strength tricks or HA/HKA boosts, or an improved healing factor).

 

Conversely, a slightly more immature, "teen" form may see Hyperstorm having a OIHD on most or all of its abilities (to mark a reduced control, and an imperfect mastery, of the energy-enhanced form), with an Accidental Change limitation. And BTW, the "teen" version is the only one to fit the initial point limits, which I'd set at 1000 base points, and 300 Disadvantages. Guess it means I'm an optimist...

 

A slightly uncertainety in writing down the character: really big Hunted, like UNTIL, PRIMUS, Mechanon, Dr. Destroyer, DEMON or VIPER, do qualify as "More powerful" or "As powerful", for a guy/gal like Hyperstorm??

 

Anyway, I think our Hyperstorm would rightfully qualify for the "military-beaters" and "World(beaters)beaters" lists. I'm still uncertain whether it would belong in the Omega or Delta class, though.

[Gary]

If you really have a budget, then simply buy the stats and/or powers at a lower level and let him/her grow into the conception. It makes a lot more sense than putting them in a EC, especially since the character as is can't be used in any other worlds except your own.

 

The EC link drain aspect isn't really limiting at all considering the 20 pts of power defense.

 

But really, points aren't a problem, so why bother?

If points aren't an issue, then it doesn't matter one way or the other. It's not like it's gonna take you a whole lot of work to change things when you punch it into the character design software of your choice.

Much better. Very powerful character that can give Dr. Destroyer a run for his money. I'd say that conventional military would be useless vs him/her unless they dropped a nuke or something similar.

Well, the good old Doctor would need a good plan to bring him/her down, and the puny human military would really need to enlist the help of someone at the same level of power (remember, there are people like the offspring of Firewing and Viperia, and the child of Gigaton and Victory around), or go nuclear.

 

Do you think the Hunted should be reclassified as "As Pow", then ? Hyperstorm is Hunted by Mechanon, who cannot stand the thought of having such a pinnacle of organic life's evolution around (and Mechanon is the type of genocidal enemy the character would go out of its way to crush), and by UNTIL and PRIMUS (given his/her level of power, and type of upbringing, the character is very likely to be quite intolerant and contemptous of human laws, even if (s)he has a definite personal moral code, based on "noblesse oblige", and the first time mundane authorities try to enforce the rule of law on him/her, things go rapidly downhill).

 

Nobody volunteering to do some other offsping??
