Well, some of them anyway. First up, Caestus Pax. I felt so fanboyish converting him, but this is about how he works out...

Very little is revealed about the man known as Ceastus Pax (at least in the books I currently have). Rumours of possible origins somewhere in Kentucky and perhaps a military career is all that said. His real name is Shelby Esienfaust but its almost never used anymore. Ceastus Pax has been with Utopia since the beginning and made leader of its debut group "Team Tomorrow" in 1999. Since then has served as leader in combat and a bureacractic sense, becoming overall director when the team was split up into several divisions early the century.

 

Pax's public persona is very much the heroic model. Bold, courageous and outspoken in his support of Utopian goals. He is brash, somewhat quick to anger and takes the physical approach to problem solving, but Utopian's spin doctors are always quick to paint even his most outrageous displays of violence (Such as when he used his "Fist of Peace" attack to knock a mercenary nova threw most of city block, in the best possible light.

 

Personally, Pax is an arrogant blowhard. He's overbearing and a control freak that likes to micromanage the people under him. He has personal issues with a number of his team members stemming from his attitude and interference in their lives. The man is obsessed with his image and constantly consults PR reps and spin doctors to make sure his image isn't tarnished.He is well aware of the some of the awful things Utopia has done in its quest for to "better the world" and doesn't care as long he comes out looking good. He loves being the "hero" and the biggest Nova on the block and any one coming close to his power makes him seethe. That is the main reason he so hated Divis Mal and constantly challenged him until he finally got his much wanted showdown in 2008.

 

In a perfect illustration of the saying "Be careful what you wish for" Pax was soundly effortlessly defeated outside of the Nova containment facility in Bahrain that day. Not only could he not defeat Divis Mal, he couldn't harm him, not even so much as muss his hair as the godlike Nova shut down Pax's powers one by one and rendered him unconsious then proceeded to blow the "prison" wide open and reveal many of Utopia's dirty little secrets contained therein. After Pax recovered, it become clear he'd learned nothing from his defeat and his desire to crush Mal only burned higher driving him to push his powers further setting him up for ever descending spiral of taint induced madness.

 

Powers:Pax's considerable powers mainly revolve around the control of kinetic energy. He create devastating blast of pure force, augment his already impressive strength to incredible degree and created telekinetic like effects over a huge area. He is essentially invulnerable to most forms of physical attack and blindingly fast in battle. Pax tends to favor a brute force approach to battle and hasn't come up with many subtle uses for his powers as of yet. He has no qualms about killing but tries not to on camera. It looks bad.

 

Appearance:Caestus Pax cuts quite an impressive figure. He's tall and well muscled with square jaw and fierce blue eyes set in a determined and handsome face. He's nearly always seen in his Team Tomorrow uniform, a form fitting Eufiber bodysuit. Its gold left, with a broad blue band running diagonally across the chest and the rest is white with gold gloves and boots. The Team Tomorrow logo is emblazoned on the right shoulder. Pax's incredible powers have come with a cost in Taint and manifests as brilliant blue white aura whenever when he uses his powers and the complete lack of any body hair, even eyebrows. People have said that Pax's looks plastic almost too perfect like he's a life sized action figure.

Yep, I plan writing them up too. One of them has Time Stop. Thats going to be fun to try.

Good job, he's about as ludicrous as he should be. Minor quibble, the taint resistance can only stop outside effects, side effects automatically bypass your defenses.

 

I couldn't really think of any other way to handle it. I figured that since I'm doing Taint as Transform it still has to beat your Body score. He has more Body, but some of it is only to resist Taint, its not "technically" a defence. Thats why I didn't do it as Power Defense. Its very questionable and even I would like questionably on it outside of the Aberrant setting.

Time Stop is easy. ExtraDimensional Travel, one dimension one place ( current location in dimension where time is frozen ), 20 points.

 

Now, if you wanna interact with the frozen people, you need to tage Transdimensional (+1/2) on at least the character's strength. Maybe a VPP: Only to Add Transdimensional to Powers/Attacks??

Alisson "Psyche" Pfaltzgraft is one of rthe original members of Team Tomorrow, part of the original 1999 lineup. She is the child of wealthy parents and hails from Chicago Illinois. Very little else is revealed about her. Neither her eruption nor her background are detailed very much. There are strong hints that she is a plant by Project Proteus, the "black ops" department inside Utopia. Her powers do fit their operating style and her flamboyant nature and manner of dress do make for a good cover, but the truth is yet to be revealed.

 

Powers/tactics:Psyche is pretty much a classic mentalist. She can read minds, alter memories and control her target's action from miles away by channeling her power telepathically. Psyche can mentally "short out" a person's nervous system, causing them extreme pain and even killing them.Her intelligence has been increased dramatically, particularly her linguistics centers allowing to speak and understand nearly any language moments after encountering it. Her eruption also increased her natural sex appeal to super human levels. She can alter her appearance to match a person ideal of beauty with just a few moments of concentration. She is naturally stealthy and trained in combat but in Nova level combat can't do much directly. I see her as mainly operating as a "sniper" mentally and undercover or from stealth.

 

Appearance:A stunningly attractive women with blonde hair that falls past her shoulders, dark eyes and an athletic build. Psyche forgoes the usual colorful Team Tomorrow bodysuit. She prefers to shape her Eufiber into a black leather leotard complete with many straps and buckles that leaves her arms and legs bare. Her limbs are covered with intricate abstract tattoos. The leotard's low cut neckline shows that the tattoos continue across her shoulders and the tops of her breasts and likely adorn most of her body. A pair of leather boots and elbow length gloves complete the outfit.

 

Notes:Psyche is shown flying in illustration but given the creative liberties some White wolf artists take I didn't consider that enough evidence to give her flight. This write up is partially inspired from the Aberrant stats given her on Quantumcontiuum.com.

Her telepathic abilities should probably be ECed or MPed, but I see where you are coming from, in your conversion technique.

 

To be be totally honest, its a bit of laziness since I'm not trying to conserve points on these write ups. Keep the feed back coming

Pretty much nothing is revealed about Chang. He is some sort of musician and sports a very punk look, but that's about it. His Canadian, from Toronto to be specific. He might be of Asian descent but his illustration doesn't bear that out.

 

Powers/Tactics:Pretty straight forward as well. He can generate immense about of electrical power and uses it to fry his opponents. He can use his lightening to cook a target from the inside out if he desires and "glides" on electromagnetic energy at immense speeds. He also poosses a few speedster powers and is incredibly fast. Thanks again to the people at Quantummcontinum.com for their excellent Aberrant write up for this character.

 

Appearance:Anthony Chang is tall broad shouldered man with a prominently muscular build. His glow a constant odd green and he maintains a stern expression when "on". Instead of the colorful Team Tomorrow uniform, Lightening shapes his Eufiber into a black short sleeved body suit with a spiked leather belt and metal studs runing along the legs. His most striking features is his hair. He maintains a huge stark white mohawk, easily a foot tall. A pair of spiked bracelets add to the punk look.

Can I vote for Geisha to be next?

 

Sure, I can take a stab at her. I've been going in the order the appear in the Project Utopia book, but I'm not married to that.

Ichiko was a darling little girl, always obedient and respectful. Her parents decided quite early she would follow the path of the geisha, one of Japan's famous class of entertainers and companions. She was more than happy to obey her parents wishes. As was her nature she learned quickly mastering singing, dancing and the fine arts of ettiquette. After taking her final tests, she quickly became one of most sought after geisha in Tokyo and entertained many wealthy (and notorious) figures with her wit and beauty.

 

One evening while performing for some noted figures in the Japanese underworld, Ichiko happened to overhear some trouble information. Normally, her sense of professionalism would mandate that she keep such things to herself. But this was different. The information was on some highly illegal activities. After debating with herself for awhile, she went to the authorities and told them. After that, Ichiko thought no more about the incident.

 

Until several nights later, she was awakened in her apartment by a group of men. Their leader explain that they had been sent to kill her for her regretable lack of discretion. Ichiko had never felt such fear, but she mustered her wits and began to calmly explain that she had only been doing her civic duty and asked that they please let her go. They did, but only after helping her tidy up her place and pack her things. She immediately suspected that she was a Nova. She contacted Project Utopia and was accepted immediately, bringing with her an immense about information on the Nakato crime syndicate.

 

Powers/Tactics:Ichiko's powers don't seem to lend themselves to being part of a "super team" but Team Tomorrow Asia/Pacific considers her their secret weapon. Quite simply, its almost impossible for anyone to say no to Ichiko. Its an ability that allows her to end many dangerous situations without a hint of violence and has made her one of the most powerful diplomats on the planet using her powers to defuse many situations and bring peace to war torn regions. Ichiko's force personality and personal charisma are all but undeniable. Almost everyone that meets her, likes and wants to please her. If she focuses her ire on a single person they even flinch and pull their punches rather than risk hurting her and rousing her anger (Force Wall). She can eventually talk someone into just about anything, soothe even the most violent minds and sway people's opinions in just about any direction she wishes if given time. Ichiko can sense people's emotions and change them but generally prefers not to do that, hoping to use her powers honorably. In fact, it is only her sense of personal honor that keeps her from being the most powerful cult leader or con woman in the world. Her personal combat skills are all but non existent and she rarely works with the front line team.

 

Appearance:Geisha is a stunningly beautiful petite Japanese woman in her early 20s. She normally has shoulder length black hair and deep, dark soulful eyes that are at once expressive and mysterious. She speaks with a soft melodic voice and her laughter is delightful and infectious. Ichiko basically exudes grace and charm with her every move, instantly enchanting any that meet her. She favors traditional Japanese garb, but has a great fashion sense and dresses to impress in any situation. Ironically enough, should her anger by roused she can cause grown men to lose control of their bodily functions with a single withering glare, but she very rarely shows that side of her self.

Another member of Team Tomorrow that we get no details on. Griffin Armstrong is a Canadian, namely from Toronto with amazing strength and durability. He also posses extreme control over gravity and uses it to manipulate object, shield himself from attack and boost his already incredible strength. All his physical power has come with a drawback though. He's incredibly heavy. Weighing in at several tons. His skills give the impression of some experience in the wilderness. Perhaps he is a wildlife expert or former park ranger.

 

Appearance:Griffin is a well muscled man with a bullish neck, blonde hair and dark eyes. He sports close cropped hair and a small goatee. His uniform is the standard Team Tomorrow blue, gold and white body suit. Notably it isn't Eufibre. He really doesn't need it.

 

This character is lowest point total by far.

And will you be doing the Teragen in the future?

 

Ragnarockette is defintely on the list. I can bump her up if you wish. And yep, going to try to do the Teragen Pantheon and maybe Sloppy Joe (he's just too gross not to).

Ewen Banks is Australian and one of the more popular member of Team Tomorrow. He's been with the Team since its creation and function as one of the resident field scientists as well as a combatant. Ewen is somewhat obsessed with the classical period and always has been. Even the nature of his Nova form show strong influence from Greek and Roman myth, earning him, along with is fashion choices, the nickname "The Apollo Kid". Utopia does not officially support that name as it could potentially alienate and offend members of certain religions and could encourage Nova worship as supernatural beings. Something Utopia tries to stop.

 

Powers:Ewen's powers mainly revolve around the control and generation of fire. He can do practically anything using flame and is very creative with his powers. His eruption has also gifted him with a godlike physique and presence. When he exerts himself his will can bend even strong men to do his what he says and his body is tough to enough endure punishments that would easily kill a "mortal". His most potent power is perhaps his mind. Ewen's intellect is high even for a Nova and his naturally talented in the physical sciences and engineering. Ewen tries not to let his powers go to his head and generally succeeds, but he can be a bit arrogant.

 

Appearance:The Apollo Kid is truly an Adonis. Tall, handsome and well muscled without being bulky, like a Greek statue come to life. He has flowing blonde hair, dark eyes and a regal and serene expression. He forgoes that standard Team Tomorrow uniform for robes, togas and other clothing in a neo classical design. His natural charisma is such that he can pull this off without looking insane. Instead he looks like a myth come to life.

"Schwartzennegger's acting was extremely disappointing, especially after his performance in Conan the Barbarian; he's so stiff and mechanical, he comes across like a robot."
