Aberrant Conversions:Team Tomorrow

[nexus]

And here is the Hero Designer file

[SuperPheemy]

Am I reading Pax right? 75 STR + 75 STR (no figured char) for 150 total STR, then 90 points of Absorbtion added for a grand whopping 240 STR total?

 

We're getting close to pre-Crisis Superman levels there. Not that I'm criticizing, C-Pax IS supposed to be the "Superman" of the Aberrant Universe.

 

It just makes me wonder what Divis Mal is like. *shudder*

Some of that is just the fact that Aberrant uses low lifting weights for the damage-associated strength scores, and an enhancement for huge weights. However, yeah, Caestus Pax is that powerful ( though *still* not Pre-Crisis Superman level, not even close ).

 

As for Divis Mal, here's a nice benchmark: He has a big enough VPP to land a nuclear+ level attack on half the surface area of the planet for 0 END cost. Without using his maximum capability.

Sorry, I've sort of fallen behind on this. Next up will be Skew or Raganrockette.

Yeah. PCSM is about STR 365, right?

 

And as for DM (good choice of initials there):

 

20d6 RKA, AE: Radius, Selective, 0 Endurance Cost, Megascale...

 

 

1200 AP? MORE?

[nexus]

Any comments?

[TheEmerged]

RE: Elemental Control for Mentalists. Actually, because of the restriction that you can't use 2 slots from an EC in a multiple-power-attack it might make sense to keep them seperate.

 

And while I'll tone them down a notch for my campaign, there are definitely a few of these I appreciate you writing up

Skew's eruption went largely unwitnessed. But certainly not unnoticed. Project Utopia and the local authorities searched the Miami area for months, looking for the source of the Electromagnetic Pulse that shut down most of the city in February 2007. It wasn't until April that the source found them when Skew dropped an armored car into the parking lot of Maimi's Mashin Roude clinic. The car contained several repeat offenders from the infamous Spangler Poesse. Ceastus Pax himself delivered Utopia's job offer to the young Nova.

 

Skew is something of a loose cannon on Team Tomorrow. He is wildly creative with his powers, but just as erratic in his tactics. He's as likely to wrap a car about his opponents as use the studs on his clothes as improvised projectiles. He is the current "king of collateral damage" on the team, but is never reluctant to help clean up his messes.

 

Quote:"Core the strongest nova? Yeah right, If he came at me I'd wrap the superstructure of the nearest building around him and drill 'em to the center of the Earth. Then they'd really be able to call him "Core". Ha! "

 

Powers:Skew's powers are based his control of magnetic and related forces. He can manipulate most metals and other ferrous substances with ease, short out electronics with EMP or perform other feats of with electromagnetism with little effort. Skew is surprisingly intelligent and Utopia's educational efforts and his own innate creativity make him quite versatile and unpredictable in combat. He is constantly expanding his menu of tricks, such as working on more ways to directly effect living targets without killing them. Think of him as a young Magneto and you wouldn't be far off.

 

Appearance:Skew maintains a "grunge" look. Ragged jeans, t-shirts, leather jackets, etc. He's handsome in a rugged unkempt way and wears his black hair short and messy. Skew usually has a couple of days unshaven beard and sports goggles when flying. When "on" he trades skew metal band t-shirts for a white one with Team Tomorrow logo emblazoned on the front.

Gvuthbjorg Danielsdottir (Gug or Guggie to her friends) was one of the earliest and most promising recruits from Team Tomorrow. She has not been very forthcoming about the circumstances of her Eruption which is usually for the normally forthcoming Icelandic woman. She has been with the team practically since the beginning rising from a trainee to a valued front line combatant very quickly. With her combination of near invulnerability, strength and natural charisma, Ragnarockette is one of the more famous and iconic members of Team Tomorrow in 2008.

 

Guggie is very outspoken in her political beliefs and extremely open about her sexuality and personal life. This has put her at odds with certain members of both Project Utopia (namely the slightly homophobic Ceastus Pax) and the Church of the Archangel Michael. She's joined the notorious Queer Nova Alliance (a support/political action group for Gay/lesbian/bi/trangendered Novas) along with Ana Texeria (another member of Team Tomorrow and Gvuthbjorg's one time lover).

 

Ragnarockette participated, under orders, in the disastrous attack on the famous Nova nightclub "The Amp Room" in late 2010. The end result of the ill advised raid was near total destruction of Ibiza Spain and a collective blackening of Utopia's reputation and the relations between Novas and baselines world. Gug was kidnapped along with Count Raol Orzaiz by a psychotic Elite wanna be named "The Angel of Bones. He hoped to kill the two publicly as is introduction into the Elite world, but an unknown team of Novas saved interrupted his plans. The ordeal forged a surprising bond between the Utopia and the Terat, spawning rumors of a love affair, but Gvuthbjorg retains her Utopian localities for now.

 

Quote: "So it turns out the guy wasn't even a Nova. Just some guy who liked dressing up in costumes and getting beat up by strong Nova women..."

 

Powers:Ragnarockette's powers are fairly straight forward. She has vastly powerful telekinesis and can channel it to increase her physical power and natural resilience to superhuman levels. She is nearly invulnerable to harm, being constantly incased in a skin tight invisible telekinetic shield. She can use this power to fly, and manipulate tons of material at a distance, but lacks fine manipulation as of yet. Some Utopia trainers have taken to calling her "Pax Lite" due to the similarity in their abilities. Some also suspect that this similarity is some of the reason Ragnarockette is on Pax's list. He doesn't care for anyone that comes close to him in power.

 

Rumor has it that Ragnarockette was one of the designers favorite characters and he kept her character sheet on his office wall next to Divis Mal's. Perhaps more was planned for her that hasn't been revealed as of yet.

 

Appearance:Ragnarockette is slightly over six feet all and has an athletic well muscled dancer's physique. She kept herself in good shape before her Eruption and her Nova metabolism honed those looks to perfects. She could easily be a fitness model or dancer, in fact was a performer before she chose to join Utopia. Guggie wears her hair very short, originally in almost military brushcut but later a slightly more relaxed cut. On duty she wears a long sleeved leotard with metal shoulder guards, thigh high highheeled black boots and fish net stockings with garter belt. Her leotard is in the traditional white, blue and gold with the Team Tomorrow logo over left breast instead of the shoulder.

Jennifer never really lived an "ordinary" life, though to hear her tell it, she was just another face in the crowd. Straight-A student, Homecoming Queen, civil and environmental activist — Jennifer was working to make the world a better place well before her eruption.

 

Of course, like every other nova, her life changed forever the day she erupted. For Jennifer, the crisis was an attempt by a digi-terrorist to destroy the website she'd done for a local branch of Greenpeace. (Local to her, of course.) As a site designer trying to out-think a prepared hacker in real time, Jennifer herself says she was outclassed. She tried to imagine herself in several places at once, throwing up firewalls in an attempt to block access. Space is an illusion in the OpNet, Jennifer once told me, and that proved to be her triumph. Though she couldn't out-program the hacker, she just popped into his room, then popped him to the nearest police station, before either of them knew what happened.

 

Given her history of activism and devotion to the greater good, Jen was almost destined to become a member of Team Tomorrow. The young American was an immediate media sensation. Her charming persona, girl next door beauty and forthright, caring attitude immediately won the hearts of the world. :Slider (named because of her ability to "slide" object with her spatial manipulation) was a favored member of Team Tomorrow and Utopia's greatest spokeswoman.

 

Unfortunately, Jennifer intelligence and inquisitive nature brought about her downfall. After looking into several inconsistencies and rumours, she began to stumble across the rot at the heart of Utopia, the secretive Project Proteus. As was her nature, she spoke out, calling in friends (such as Andre Corbrin) and other Novas that have begun to suspect the truth. Clearly she had to be silenced. In 2008, Slider was found murdered in her Calcutta apartment, the victim of a brutal assault. No murderers was ever caught suspects were many, from the Teragen to her Corbin himself. The truth would not be revealed for many years, but a great deal of suspicion fell on Utopia itself, furthering blackening its reputation and perhaps adding more fuel to the growing fires of discontent against the organization. Its also Jennifer warning that leads Andre into his unlikely position as leader of the Aberrants (Former Utopian Nova that suspect the truth).

 

Quote: "No, you look, Andre. Novas are one in a million, may six or eight thousand world wide. They're systematically killing us off and they're getting us to do it so it doesn't look like they're anything up. All for N! or for publicity or whatever screen they want to throw up against us!"

 

Powers:Jennifer's power are based on spatial manipulation. She can bend space as she sees fit allowing to perform many amazing feats. She can shift her and other positions, manipulation objects by "sliding" them about, or deflect attacks. She open portals to view distant locations and transport large amounts of material instantly. This made her invaluable in disaster relief and combat scenarios alike. Jennifer's personal enhancements include a increase to her natural charisma. Her dexterity and stamina are superhuman as well and unlike many social novas her supernatural abilities work just as well over the media.

 

Appearance:Jennifer Landers is a fresh faced, attractive young woman. She's naturally redheaded and has a light dusting of freckles. Overall she looks younger than she really is, perhaps in her mid teens, despite being very beautiful. She dresses casually in t-shirts and jeans for the most part when off duty and wears the standard Team Tomorrow bodysuit when working with the team though the logo is on her chest rather than shoulder.

Pratima erupted on her wedding day when the boat carrying her husband and entourage ran into a rock, spilling them into the Mari river. Pratima was the only survivor awaking days later to find she could control water in all forms. If not for her father, a retired doctor, the powerful Nova might never have left her native villager, but her contacted old friends and put his daughter in touch with Project Utopia.

 

Pratima's innate sense of responsibility moved her to join the organization and put her new abilities to good use. She was soon installed on Team Tomorrow as "Splash" using her power to aid in such endeavors as rescue and flood control as well combating organized crime and criminal novas worldwide. Overall, Pratima enjoys her position and chance to help people. It suits her own sense of personal honor, but she has grown troubled. Rumors of Utopia's ethically challenged activities have not escape her and wonders of her powers are truly being put to good use. There is also the matter of her strong personal dislike for Ceastus Pax, but that has been somewhat alleviated since she was placed in command of Team Tomorrow Asia/Pacific and thus out of his jurisdiction.

 

Powers:Pratima has complete control of water and water related phenomena such as the weather. She can summon storms, fogs, lightening or created seemingly infinite amounts of water at well, using it offensively in powerful jets, to propel herself threw the air or form barriers and containment. Her powers are practically unlimited regarding her elements limited only by her imagination and endurance. . Pratima is also extremely fast and trained in the art of Kalapryit, a martial art developed in Southern India but prefers to fight at range if at all possible. Pratima fights to subdue rather than kill and has thus never developed any lethal uses for her powers.

 

Appearance:A very attractive woman of Indian descent, Pratima favors traditional clothing when off duty and keeps her long black hair in a simply ponytail or worn down. On duty she wears the Team Tomorrow uniform modified with a black jacket, dark top and an armband with the logo. Pratima's has a lovely, slightly husky voice particularly suited for singing. She has a fledgling film career, having appeared in a few Bollywood musicals since joining Team Tomorrow but is too dedicated to her duties to devote much time to it.

Ricardo was born the oldest of five children. Growing up poor in Mexico City, he learned early that you had to work hard to earn your way in life. Unfortunately, he seemed to be the only one in his family that learned that lesson. From a young age, it was up to Ricardo to provide for his family and though the he resented it he felt it was his duty.

 

That all changed one day. A bully challenged him at work and rather than risk his job, Ricardo declined. His attacker jumped the young man as he tried to walk away. In that instant, all his anger and resentment, at his life, at his country and his family boiled over. With a surge of new strength, Ricardo threw his attacker into the sea over 50 meters away. He lost his job, but it didn't matter. Nova powers meant wealth and fortune. Ricardo joined XWF (eXtreme Warfare Federation, Nova shootfighters and wrestlers) and began making a name for himself. But as his experience with organization grew he found most of the people working for it to be questionable at best or at worst beneath contempt. Ricardo's disgust with XWF grew until he couldn't take it any longer. When Utopia approached him looking for attractive new faces for its promotional "Team Tomorrow" he jumped at the chance.

 

Ricardo has made a name for himself as hero and role model for Mexico, somewhat unknowingly. He still adheres to the Luchador "code" including the mask tradition. This has inspired other South American Novas (and Elite in general) to keep to that code. Ricardo has practically cut all ties with his family though. They still pester him for money, but he feels it is time for them to earn their own way and stop riding on his back. Ricardo has developed some issues with Taint unfortunately, but his easy going and friendly manner keep anyone from bothering him too much about it.

 

Powers:Montoya is geared for combat. His is among the strongest of Novas, easily the equal of Geryon and extremely resistant to injury even without his Eufiber armor. Montoya's body reflexively shunts the kinetic energy from blows and impacts into momentum, allowing him to "bounce" away from attacks without harm. By similar manipulation of kinetic energy, he can fly at moderate speeds. Montoya-bernal also has a "Sixth Sense" that warns him of danger in and out of combat, usually threw fortunate hunches and lucky breaks. In fact, Ricardo is just extremely lucky over all. Fortune just seems to go his way constantly sometimes in truly amazing ways. These powers combined with his superhuman reflexes and combat experience make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. This has given Ricardo a sense of invulnerability and he is flashy,taking chances in fights since he feels he can't be hurt. As part of his code of honor, Ricardo will not initiate lethal combat but will respond in kind. He is also reluctant to strike women, preferring to subdue and restrain them as non violently as possible.

 

Appearannce:Ricardo's has dark, intense eyes and roguish good looks. He's large and powerfully built without being bulky. He could easily be a romantic lead if he wished and never lacks of romantic companionship. In public, he is never seen without his trademark Luchedor mask, made to match his Team Tomorrow uniform. Even out of uniform, he wears it or some variation of it and looks impressive doing it. Otherwise, Ricardo has never been one to put on airs and dresses well, but simply, going for neat appearance and comfort. Growing so powerful so fast has had it cost though. Ricardo has a series of spiny "fins" on his back, forearms and calves along with green skin.

Delany Croft-Martin was born a society darling, the child of the one of the wealthiest, most influential families in New York. As such her life was one of privilege but not a little social obligation. Naturally rebellious, Delany chafed under the restrictions of high society life. But kept up with it, seeing no other way out.

 

Her Eruption was a godsend. It was freedom from the boring life of a debutante once and for all. Using her families contacts and influence, Delany got herself assigned to Team Tomorrow. She was placed in the axillary Team, but none the less got what she craved. Excitement and adventure. As "Firefly" Delany takes every chance to push the envelope. particularly in combat. She takes wild chances and does not work will with others as she is a glory hog. Delany likes being the center of attention and sometimes resents the fame of other more powerful members of Team Tomorrow. But its something she's willing to deal with for now.

 

Powers:For the most part, Delany's powers involve light. She can emit an extremely bright glow, which is the source of her code name. By "riding" beams of light, she can fly at extreme speeds and can create a "living light" immaterial doppleganger which she can see threw. Otherwise she is physically very tough and extremely fast. Her reaction time is many times faster than a human being.

 

Appearance:Firefly is a slender blonde woman with green eyes. Her face is triangular and pixyish which makes her look a bit younger and more innocent than she is. She keeps her hair short and up, on or off duty. Surprisingly, Delany favors that standard Team Tomorrow uniform with no embellishments. Off duty though, she is never dressed in anything other than the latest fashions.

 

Note:This character and the next are included mainly to show that Team Tomorrow doesn't always include the most powerful or heroic people. Recruits are sometimes picked for sheer publicity, because of politics or just plain expediency.

Growing up in Columbia left Melissandra few options. Her family had lived and died among the cocaine cartels for two generations. Her own father had died from coca poisoning and her brother had worked as s smugger until his own men killed him. Melissandra was first noticed by an enforcer at 16 when she killed a man in a street fight. Despite her dreams of being a World class gymnast, she could refuse the offer of training and well paying job.

 

Melissandra grew into the job quickly, becoming strong and fast. The cartel boss began paying more attention to her and this stirred up the jealousy of her peers. She made too much of a name for herself and eventually, they decided she had to be eliminated. In a particularly slimy move, one of her fellow had her sent on a suicide mission. Melissandra didn't realize the mission was a trap until too late. She found herself trapped in a Federale camp, surrounded by soldiers who would kill her as soon as they found her.

 

Melissandra's anger grew as she realized what had been done to her. Not all that, but a desire for revenge on the men that had done this to her. She Erupted just as the troops broke down the door. Her powers allowed her to escape easily and she went to Utopia, then Team Tomrrow South America in hopes of avenging herself on the cartels. After the death of Jennifer Landers, Melissandra took her place as the team teleporter. Surpsingly, and encouragingly, Melissandra had taken her chance to become one of the good guys. She's grateful for her rise out of poverty and has developed a strong sense of right and wrong. She endeavors to live up to the Team Tomorrow ideal as much as possible. Inside so, the desperate street child remains and there is little Melissandra will not do to survive.

 

Powers:Melissandra's primary power is teleportation. She can carry herself and up to 4 others thousand of KMs by means unknown. Her teleportation also eliminates all relative velocity, so she can jump safely into and out of moving vehicles, from fall and other dangerous situations. Her natural agility has been enhanced to superhuman levels as her stealth and flexibility. Her body is sustained by quantum energies now so she does not need to eat, breath or drink and is immune to most diseases. Melissandra heals at a superhuman rate as well. Somehow she can "stick" to objects she touches, allowing to move on any surface. Utopia's scientists aren't sure how she accomplishes this either.

 

Appearance:Melissandra is a strikingly attractive Columbian woman with a very fit, muscular physique. She has long black hair and dark brown eyes. Many people think she bears a strong resemblance to Salma Hyeck. She wears the standard Team Tomorrow jumpsuit and otherwise dresses for simply, in loose clothing designed to allow her to move easily. Melissandra's voice is surprisingly husky for a woman, though not unnaturally so.

Re: Aberrant Conversions:Team Tomorrow

 

For those interested in running a Team Tomorrow Hero campaign I would suggest starting at 600+100 Disdvantages. Disads shouldn't include any horrific non human Distinctive Features, dangerous psych lims (Casual Killer, Raging Bigot, etc) or Berserks (low frequency Enraged might be ok).

 

Skills should include at least one additional language and some knowledges and sciences (the training includes a fairly through education), particularly a sciene relating to your powers, or use of them in creative, helpful ways.
