Richard Logue Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 It's always best to draw from sources outside of your own brain once in awhile. The ideas tend to stay fresher longer, and on these forums, they'll even be fruitful and multiply. I've got an upcoming story in my Champion's World campaign and I need to create a team of superheroes based out of New York City. I'm calling them the New Compatriots. The original Compatriots was an Allied team based out of London during World War 2. I know the character archetypes I'm looking for. What I'd like from you all are a few names and basic concepts to fit the archetypes. What I have so far is the team leader: Glory. He's the third person to carry the name and abilities. He's a patriotic sort who can channel the qualities of the founding fathers and other historical Americans. The first Glory was a member of the original Compatriots. These are the archetypes for the other members of the group. Despite the historical context of the team name and the patriotism of the team leader, there's really no theme going on here. They're just a standard, four-color team based out of NYC. - eldritch, or mystical "power armor" wearer - supergadgeteer. can "speak" to circuitry. makes gadgets out of spare parts. what he builds makes no sense but works anyway. - female Native American (New England area) "animal totem"/guardian spirit shaman - flying brick and/or flying blaster Thanks for the help!

winterhawk Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Re: A few names and concepts needed Enchanted PA: How about someone bearing the armor of Achilles, granting him the previous wearers prowess. Perhaps also the strength of Ajax, and other abilities of the participants in the Trojan War. Names Suggestions: Illiad, Trojan Gadgeteer: Juryrig, Makeshift, Justin Case Native American: some of the tribes indigenous to the area were the Mohawk, Cayuga, Delaware and Iroquois. A quick search of the excellent Pantheon.org yielded: Hiawatha, oki (Spirit Force), Master of Life, Seneca Flying Brick/EB: That is really general. Anything specific about him/her?
