Enforcer84 Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Okay, I am creating a mutant based on the concept of Superhuman Agility. In her current form, she looks like this: Player: Val Char Cost 15 STR 5 33 DEX 69 18 CON 16 10 BODY 0 15 INT 5 11 EGO 2 15 PRE 5 20 COM 5 12 PD 3 12 ED 2 7 SPD 27 7 REC 0 36 END 0 30 STUN 3 11" RUN05" SWIM015" LEAP0Characteristics Cost: 142 Cost Power END 12 Accute Senses: Enhanced Perception (+4 to PER Rolls for All Sense Groups) 10 Hard to hit: +2 with DCV 10 Just lucky I guess: Luck 2d6 17 Natrual Fighting Ability: Hand-To-Hand Attack +5d6 (25 Active Points); Hand-To-Hand Attack (-1/2) 2 7 Skilled Climber: Clinging (normal STR) (10 Active Points); Cannot Resist Knockback (-1/4), Requires a Skill Roll (-1/4) 3 Strong Swimmer: Swimming +3" (5" total) (added to Primary Value) 1 12 Supernatural Leaping Ability: Leaping +12" (15" forward, 7 1/2" upward) (added to Primary Value) 1 12 Swift Runner: Running +5", Combat Acceleration/Deceleration (+1/4) (12 Active Points) (added to Primary Value) 1 20 Thrown Objects: Multipower, 30-point reserve, all slots: (30 Active Points); OIF (Objects of Opporotunity) (-1/2) 2u 1) Blunt Object: Energy Blast 6d6 (vs. PD) (30 Active Points) 3 2u 2) Sharp Objects: Killing Attack - Ranged 2d6 (vs. PD) (30 Active Points) 3 Powers Cost: 107 Cost Skill 16 +2 with All Combat 15 +3 with Dex Based Skills 3 Acrobatics 16- 3 Breakfall 16- 3 Climbing 16- 3 Combat Driving 16- 3 Contortionist 16- 10 Defense Maneuver: I-IV 3 Fast Draw 16- 3 KS: Ballet (INT-based) 12- 3 KS: Ballroom Dance (INT-based) 12- 3 Lockpicking 16- 3 Paramedics 12- 3 PS: Dancer (DEX-based) 16- 3 Riding 16- 3 Sleight Of Hand 16- 3 Stealth 16- 3 Teamwork 16- Skills Cost: 86 Cost Talent 3 Ambidexterity (Reduce Off Hand Penalty to -2) 12 Combat Luck: 6 PD/6 ED Talents Cost: 15 Total Character Cost: 350 Val Disadvantages 10 Distinctive Features: Mutant, Not Concealable, Always Noticed and Causes Major Reaction, Detectable Only By Unusual Senses 15 Enraged: When Cornered or Caged, Uncommon, go 11-, recover 11- 25 Hunted: followerd of the Patriarch, More Powerful, 11- (Frequently), Harshly Punish, Extensive Non-Combat Influence 20 Hunted: Institute for Human Advancement, More Powerful, 8- (Occasionally), Harshly Punish, Extensive Non-Combat Influence 10 Money, Destitute 10 Physical Limitation: Heightened metabolism; requires roughly 1.5 times normal amount of nourishment for girl her age, Frequently, Slightly Impairing 20 Psychological Limitation: Code vs Killing, Common, Total 10 Psychological Limitation: Fears/loathes the Patriarch, Uncommon, Strong 15 Psychological Limitation: Protective of friends, Common, Strong 15 Social Limitation: Minor: age 14, Frequently (11-), Major Disadvantage Points: 150 Base Points: 200 Experience Required: 0 Total Experience Available: 0 Experience Unspent: 0 I was thinking allong the lines of Grace, Dancer, Catgirl, but don't like tthose specific names. She is a "bred" mutant, her genetic structure was changed in the womb. She and several score more children were treated this way by a group of scientist/doctors who were working for a wealthy immortal wannabe godking. This young lady and some of the other "Scions" have escaped the brainwashing and compound and are trying to find their pasts as well as stop his plans or at least stay away from him. I am also lacking the disadvantages. No longer am I lacking in Disadvantages.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Hiemforth Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 How about "Venia Velox?" It's (roughly) Latin for "Graceful and Quick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 what about "pas-de-deux" a dance (ballet) I think for one person. Since the ballet dancers are agile, quick etc it may fit. Something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Once again hitting my trusty Thesaurus and searching around "agility", "skillful" etc., I came up with "Finesse". Sounds feminine without being wimpy, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KA. Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 How about Swift? I have always wanted to use it for a Champions character. Don't worry about it though, my S.W.I.F.T. is going to be like a heroic version of The Vulture. A scientist who constructs the Single-Wing In-Flight Trainer, a winged suit, intended to give military pilots a better grasp on aerodynamics by "being the plane". The plan gets scrubbed, corrupted, etc. (you know how origin stories go) and the scientist is forced to don the suit himself and seek justice. Anyway, no chance of these two characters being mistaken for each other, so feel free to use the name if you like it. By the way, in nature, a Swift is not just a small bird, it is also a fast moving lizard, so just because your character doesn't fly, does not mean the name can't fit.

Acroyear Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Bladedancer and Gazelle come to mind. So did Maelstrom in a sort of "she's everywhere..." sort of a kinetic acrobatic fighting style impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 You'll pardon my saying so, but the character sounds an awful lot like a genetically engineered killing machine who bears a strong resemblance to Jessica Alba, and was featured on a TV series a few years back. (Please, it's not a criticism--just an observation.) So I'm thinking--her first heroic act is to save a little kid's life (the kid becomes a DNPC), and the kid asks her; "Are you my Guardian Angel?" And there she is, and there you are. I hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And *I* thought he was copying John Byrne's Next Men. They were a group of genetically engineered teenagers, raised in a virtual reality environment. Something goes wrong - an explosion or some such - and they escape into our world. One of them was a girl with super-agility called, I think, Jazz. It's quite a good name but some of the ones suggested have been better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 If you're going the dancer route: Pirouette (Which is a basic spin on your tip-toes) Spiral or Death-Spiral Nutcracker (Okay, I put this one in just to see if anyone is reading this) If you're going the catgirl route: Kitten (I know it's obvious) Wildcat Alley cat Tigress P***y, the cat who doesn't land on all-4's (Okay, again just testing you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
