Height: 1.56 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 71.00 kg	Eyes: Dark Brown

Appearance: Long blonde hair that seems to sway back and forth across her shoulders, dangling every lower to the middle of her back. The only reason it does not touch her back is because of the electricity. While out on missions, Battery's outfit matches if not mirrors his, but without the weaponry.Personality: Marcia fits the gang stereotype of the token girl in a group of guys who belongs to the leader and is thus usually though of as "the leader's girl" rather than "one of the team". She is feisty and gets agitated quickly, though, so usually she doesn't have to take much from her teammates before they desist.

 

Battery isn't the type to look for a fight but neither does she run from it. Her influence in the group is high since she has great influence on Assault, and a lot of the decisions he makes originated with her. She speaks her mind most of the time but also has a woman's guile and will resort to subterfuge if need be to get what she wants.

Quote:"Allow me to show just how hard I can punch."Background: Marcia was daughter to wealthy industrialist. Her parents ignored her or doted her with things instead of nurturing her. She responded as do a lot of teenage girls. She sought a relationship with boys whom her parents would disapprove, and invoke a reaction.

 

The worst was Otto... all the other boys were simply low class, or unmannered, or uneducated. Otto was an actual criminal, and hanging with him was exciting, and not just because her parents objected. Otto was cool. He had drugs, and robbed and stole. He even claimed to have killed someone.

 

One night, Otto told her of a job they would do. He'd gotten in with this supervillain... Marcia had never heard of him, but he called himself X-Ray, and actually had powers and everything. This X-Ray needed muscle, and Otto and a handful of other guys provided some. Everyone would get a cut of the money.

 

X-Ray took over a power plant, threatening to black out Detroit unless they paid him a bunch of money. But there wasn't going to be any money. A trio of supercops busted in, knocked everyone around, and wrecked everything. One of the cops, a big metal dude painted up like a police car, knocked her and Otto into a bunch of cables, and it was lights out.

 

Marcia woke up in the dark. A dark tube, made of metal and wood. She screamed and fought and yelled... and slowly crawled out of the grave she had been buried in. She was amazed by how easy it had been, and by the electricity that seemed to arc around her ash she dug herself out.

 

Her parents refused to believe it was her.

 

The cops tried to arrest her. She beat the crap out of them and fled. It was the cops fault. It was all the cops fault.

Powers/Tactics: Battery can energize her body with electricity, and she uses this energy to great effect. Her name is a pun on this. Her martial skill is a by-product of her relationship with Alex. It is hard to not learn the martial art when he does it all the time. She almost recklessly engages in wanton destruction of property. She loves to use here electric punch to knock whole installations off line.

 

The ability which most surprises those fighting Battery for the first time is her great strength and durability. While not as strong as her husband, she's certainly no slouch, and there's been many a hero surprised when Battery lobs a passenger car at them.

Campaign Use: Battery is a member of Anarchy, a metahuman terrorist gang in the Global Guardians PBEM

Disadvantage Points: 150

Base Points: 200Experience Required: 35Total Experience Available: 35Experience Unspent: 0Total Character Cost: 385

Height: 1.85 m	Hair: None
Weight: 108.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Dressed in a dark blood red outfit ala Daredevil complete with minor demonic horns. His face is fully covered though and his mask is a snarling demonic face with an expression of torture on its lips. His military training and exercise have kept him fit. His height is advantageous to sitting in cramped areas for long periods of time.Personality: Ernesto is the quiet person in a group that no one seems to want to talk to for fear of the somber looking individual but when he is angered or has determined a course of action, he tends to go for his own agenda even if it costs the team their goals. Diablo goes for all the hooks to spread fear into his enemies. His costume is a reflection of this. He has tried to develop a macabre aura, and for the most part can weird out just about anybody. Ernesto does not get a lot of media attention and prefers it that way.Quote:“Tell me would you like for me to burn you from the inside out or the outside in."Background: Ernesto Costas is the older of the Costas brothers. He has always been Ramon's bodyguard.*All through childhood he would fight the bullies that would pick on Ramon for being different. It wasn't like Ramon was unlike any other child but he had already developed some sort of submissive attitude and it was kind of hard for the other kids to ignore. His attitude got him into more and more fights that Ernesto felt obligated to prevent usually by fighting the guy instead, and beat him so badly he could fight his brother and never picked on him again.

 

This had a bonding effect on Ramon and he would tag along and eventually became friend with Ernesto's high school friends. Throughout his life Ernesto looked after his brother. When their father was executed after shooting a man during a robbery attempt, Ernesto looked out for them. When their mother died in a drug-related shootout with the cops, it was Ernesto who looked out for them.

 

And it was Ernesto who had the bright idea of robbing the pharmaceutical company. It was Ernesto who had to fight the guard. It was Ernesto who grabbed the guy's gun and started firing, and it was Ernesto who punctured the storage tank, bathing the two brothers in industrial chemicals.

 

But it was Ramon who realized they could use their new abilities to take care of each other.

Powers/Tactics: Ernesto Costas, a fire-generating energy blaster from Mexico. He prefers to take up a sniper position and use his power to devastate the enemy or the area. He will cover the groups escape from a defensible sniper position if at all possible. His flame is still a formidable defense in hand to hand as it can singe even the seemingly invincible with it's intensity. In fact, it is so incredible hot near him when he has it active the surrounding area is scorched black or turns sand to glass.Campaign Use: El Diablo is a member of Anarchy, a metahuman terrorist group active in the Global Guardians Universe.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review

 

Assault and Battery. They sound like such a NICE couple.

 

It worked for me way back in the 80s.

 

In our case, Battery was named first, and then I had to come up with a name for my brick. Battery's player was not amused.

 

Both our characters were pretty badly designed, but Battery was wildly underpowered compared to Assault, and retired.

 

These days I'm using Assault as one of my test subjects for Cosmic power levels. He's recently discovered that he isn't a mutant like he always thought, and instead is something along the lines of a New God.

 

But that's my Assault. I'll have to have a closer look at Worldmaker's Assault.

 

Just because.

 

---

 

Done. Yeah, he's pretty cool. Not enormously powerful, but potentially extremely dangerous.

 

Battery too.

 

Well done.

Height: 1.90 m	Hair: Dark Brown
Weight: 118.00 kg	Eyes: Black

Appearance: Vermin is covered in a leathery hide, with patches of thick fur running from his shoulders to his calves and forearms. His face is monstrous and extended. His most rodent-like features are his prominent teeth and his naked, rat-like tail.Personality: Paul Mercer is filled with hatred... hatred for the people who did this to him, hatred for the people all around him who point and taunt and sneer, and hatred of himself for being what he is. The only thing that calms the rage this hatred inspires is hurting people and breaking things. That and the fact that Assault and Battery take care of him. He'd do anything for them.

 

Paul's mind is slowly degrading, becoming more and more animalistic with each passing year. The other members of Anarchy realize that sooner or later, their rat-man friend will have to be disposed of.

Quote:"I am not an animal! I am a human being!" -- VerminBackground: Paul Mercer had nothing to lose. He was sitting on death row for five murders. He regretted those murders, and wished they hadn't happened. But hell, those people should have known better than to come back home while he was robbing the place! It was there fault, for Christ's sake!

 

Of course, the prosecutor didn't see it that way, and so Paul landed on the long gray, waiting for the needle.

 

Two days before his appointment with Mr. Needle, some dude in a fancy uniform showed up outside of his cell with a deal: Paul volunteers for certain medical experiments, Paul gets his sentence commuted to life in prison. Life in prison may not be fun and games, but it is life in prison, and not death in prison, so Paul jumped at the chance.

 

The doctors (well, Paul assumed they were doctors) injected him with some weird goop, and ran his body under something that looked like a giant X-Ray machine, and then waited. Within hours, Paul's body had changed dramatically, and painfully.

 

But not in the way the guys in the uniforms wanted. They never counted on Mercer turning into a six-foot tall human rat.

Two gunshots and a dumped body later, the Army figured the latest failure in their super soldier program was behind them. They didn't figure he'd be able to regenerate from the wounds.

 

Their mistake.

Powers/Tactics: Vermin's physiology resembles that of a humanoid rat. His strength, agility, and reaction time have all increased, and he's developed claws, fangs, and a tail that he can use as weapons. He can regenerate wounds at a fantastic rate and has amazing resistance to poisons. His olfactory sense and hearing are much sharper than a normal human being's senses. He can communicate with and control sewer rats, squirrels, and other rodent species; he can summon swarms of the creatures, assuming they are available in the area. His most surprising ability (and the one he holds in reserve for just the moment its needed) is his ability to break apart into a horde of rats.

 

When he can control his animalistic urges, Vermin can be a cunning opponent. Unfortunately, he is getting more and more bestial as time goes on, and usually resorts to simple tactics.

Campaign Use: Vermin is a member of Anarchy, a metahuman terrorist team active in the Global Guardians Universe.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review

 

Very interesting character. His powers are nice except for stylistic complaint and its more of a nitpick than anything else. His power seem to base around being a giant rat except for his ability to turn into a swarm of them. That feels slightly supernatural. Of course, I don't know the nature of the experiement that changed him. It might have been supernatural.

 

As a replacement power, I'd suggest a similiar super contortionist power. Rats have extremely pliable bones and can squeeze threw any opening that isn't smaller than there heads.

I'm going to steal Vermin, too, but he's very sad.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review

 

I had an idea for the same kind of character as well. He was a twist (which in GGU parlance is a character whose gene for supernatural powers has been turned on with less than ideal results). I've always been a fan of superheros who were less than perfect (I'm playing one with Down's syndrome and another one who is overweight). Its easy to be a superhero when you've got everything going for you.

Appearance: Ramon is actually reduced to being nude when he's using his powers due to their destructive nature. He's yet to encounter a costume or set of clothing that survives the activation of his force field. When not on the job, however, he dresses as stylishly as he can. Given his tastes, however, this usually means he dresses like the worst hispanic drug-dealer stereotype imaginable.Personality: Ramon is cocky son of a gun. After being the punching bag all his life, he views his powers as the ultimate revenge. He truly believes himself to be invulnerable and it has changed his attitude toward bullies. He has now become that which he used to despise. He has a tendency to agitate any situation. Assault once had to beat him into submission to get him to follow orders on one occasion and Razor hasn't done it again that bad in a long time.Quote:"Go ahead. Take your best shot, hero... you can't touch me."Background: Ramon Costas is the younger of the Costas brothers. He's always been Ernesto's shadow. All through childhood, Ernesto would fight the bullies that would pick on Ramon for being different. It wasn't like Ramon was unlike any other child but he had already developed some sort of submissive attitude and it was kind of hard for the other kids to ignore. His attitude got him into more and more fights that Ernesto felt obligated to prevent usually by fighting the guy instead, and beat him so badly he could fight his brother and never picked on him again.

 

This had a bonding effect on Ramon and he would tag along and eventually became friend with Ernesto's high school friends. Throughout his life Ernesto looked after his brother. When their father was executed after shooting a man during a robbery attempt, Ernesto looked out for them. When their mother died in a drug-related shootout with the cops, it was Ernesto who looked out for them.

 

And it was Ernesto who had the bright idea of robbing the pharmaceutical company. It was Ernesto who had to fight the guard. It was Ernesto who grabbed the guy's gun and started firing, and it was Ernesto who punctured the storage tank, bathing the two brothers in industrial chemicals.

 

But it was Ramon who realized they could use their new abilities to take care of each other.

Powers/Tactics: In addition to being a Capoeira Mastrie, a master of the Brazilian martial art, Ramon generates a force field that produces razor thin angles of force that fluctuate in a fast vibrating succession creating a slicing saw type motion. This field allows Ramon to slice through virtually anything and also protects him.Campaign Use: Razor is a member of Anarchy, a metahuman terrorist group active in the Global Guardians Universe.

Appearance: Billy Ray fits the "big dumb redneck" image to a tee. He stands over 6 feet tall and is a big barrel-chested man who wears blue jeans at nearly every opportunity. Unlaced military boots, a flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a white t-shirt finish his "costume". Personality: Billy Ray has always been the biggest and the strongest. He was not used to following someone else until he met Alex. They tussled at first but nowadays Billy Ray is Assault's staunchest supporter next to Marcia. If given no direction, Billy Ray spends most of the day watching TV or working out. He is not stupid but has a tendency to come as such just cause he doesn't have the education or vocabulary that others do.Quote:“I'm gonna rip you a new pie hole for that, you shitstain!"Background: Billy Ray Hanson, a shit-kicker from Texas. That's all anyone every hears about Stomp. And this is not far from the truth.

Billy was raised at his granddaddy's knee, hearing tales of a government taken over by the "libruls" and the "commoonists" and the "nigra lovers". The racism never took hold... Billy Ray knew and liked to many black kids to be taken in by that line of nonsense... but the distrust of the "librul" government sank in tight.

 

Trouble started when he was seventeen, when the Federal men came sniffing around after his grandfather. They called the senior Hansen a "militia-style troublemaker" and a "gun nut" and a "survivalist". They called him a criminal. And then they cornered the old man in his hunting shack and killed him.

 

Billy Ray swore to take revenge. He gathered up as many guns and as much ammo as he could and went hunting Federal Agents. He killed five of the cocksuckers before they started chasing him, but chase him they eventually did.

 

The FBI caught up with Bill Ray outside a government lab in Albequerque. The running shootout lasted two hours, and ended with Billy Ray, shot twice, stumbling into a room filled with little glass tubes. He fell against a shelf, and the entire thing collapsed on top of him. When the FBI first found him, they assumed from his unmoving form that he was dead. But he was very much alive, and it was a very different Billy Ray that climbed to his feet.

 

Stronger, tougher, and even more angry Billy Ray left the lab, and the FBI, far behind him.

Powers/Tactics: Stomp is a rugged, ruff, resilient S.O.B. His powers all revolve around strength and toughness. His size and strength make it difficult to combat him and he is a formidable hand to hand fighter. His fighting style is reminiscent of wrestling but with a more bar room brawling tactics. He can smack someone pretty hard when he needs to. And his dreaded "Stomp" is becoming renowned.Campaign Use: Stomp is a member of Anarchy, a metahuman terrorist group active in the Global Guardians Universe.

Height: 1.70 m	Hair: Balding Gray
Weight: 52.00 kg	Eyes: Blue

Appearance: The Weaponsmith looks for all the world like someone's gray-haired grandfather. He's nearly 70 years old, dumpy, and smokes constantly. "Bottle bottoms" is a good description of his eyeglasses (he cannot wear contact lenses). His usual dress is a long-sleeve collared shirt, a tie, a sweater that's seen better days, and a pair of boat shoes. He wears an eyepatch over his left eyesocket; the eye was lost when he was 52 during an engineering mishap.Personality: The Weaponsmith is an Old World Master, and his craft is the creation of weapons systems. He treats his work as an artform, and it is for this precise reason that among all the gadgeteers in the world, he is without a doubt the most skilled. Even such "luminaries" of the criminal world as Lord Doom and Doctor Simian acknowledge him as their superior in the technical arts.

 

Professionalism is the Weaponsmith's bywords. He treats each customer with respect and attention, never backs out of a deal, never fails to deliver once payment has been received, and never cheats his customers. By the same light, he expects to be treated professionally by his clientele. The Weaponsmith has connections with nearly every big name in superhuman crime; Checkmate Intelligence would give nearly anything to have his personal telephone directory. Those who don't treat him with respect never do business with him again. Those who cheat him never do business with him again, and usually end up getting roughed up by a nameless attacker.

 

And those who attempt to rat him out to the authorities do not live for long.

Quote:"If you have to ask how much this weapon will cost you, you cannot afford it."Background: Stefan Tischler began his career as an armorer and munitions maker with the Baader-Meinhoff gang and the Red Army Faction. He was always bookish and unadventurous for a terrorist, and thus never got into the more violent activities of his group.

 

Like all members of the RAF, he received training in basic skills from the Stasi, the East German secret police, but his first and only love was maintaining and sometimes building the weapons and bombs the gang would use. With the fall of communism in the early 1990's, the Baader-Meinhoff gang became wanted criminals where they were once the darlings of the East German government. Tischler went underground, eventually immigrating to England and taking up work as an appliance repair man.

 

He wasn't forgotten by law enforcement, and soon enough he became a hunted man. It was during a close call with the Italian police that his metagene turned. His skill at engineering machinery into weaponry increased tenfold as a direct result of his metagene expression. It didn't take Stefan long to realize that supervillains, and especially the new superhuman terror groups, were a direct market for his weapons.

 

The Weaponsmith was back in business.

Powers/Tactics: The Weaponsmith is the perhaps the greatest designer and builder of weapons systems in the world. The results of his craft have been used by everyone from Agamemmnon to the Zodiac. Other than his talent for forging weapons, he has no real powers. The only gadgets he carries on his person at all times are his Personal Defense Field and his Blaster Pistol.Campaign Use: The Weaponsmith is an NPC in the Global Guardians Universe. He is generally more of a plot device than an NPC to be directly opposed to the player characters, though some stories dealing directly with him are certainly possible.

I'd give him Electronics.

Skills aside, I'd think that the premier weapon supplier of the GGU would have access to more powerful weaponry. The 60-point pool limits him to weapons with 60 active points. Compared to some of what's out there, that's pretty weak. I understand that he's not likely to have many powerful items with him at the same time, but that active cost needs to be bumped higher. Similarly, his "last line of defense" gun doesn't impress me a lot, either.

He's not really a combattant and knows it, so he doesn't try too hard. He depends on his connections... which I also added... to protect him.

 

But I doubled his VPP, just for you.

Re: GGU NPCs For Review

He knows how to make the weapons... not necessarily use them.

[RobCRogers]

Re: GGU NPCs For Review

 

He knows how to make the weapons... not necessarily use them.

I find this difficult to believe. I can certainly accept that he wouldn't be good at using them, but for him not to know how to make them function? Surely he'd have to be able to test the weapons in some way to make them and would have to know their basic operations, controls, etc. in order to invent them. I just don't see it.
