Tech Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Show me the PC I present to you Bulls-eye, my sharpshooter hero. I actually play two heroes in the same group, so the experience he has isn't quite as high as his other teammates. Still, he holds his own and has amazed the other heroes with his skill and abilities. Although his stats are a bit on the high side, he is still a talented non-superpowered normal. BULLS-EYE Secret Id: Officer Mark Harrison 20 Str 10 Base 200+ 25 Dex 45 15 Secret Identity 20 Con 20 15 Code vs Killing 14 Body 8 5 Hunted by Various Gunslingers 8- 14 Int 4 (Only to test skills; no punishment) 11 Ego 2 20 Pre 10 Dex 14-, Con 13-, Int 12- 16 Com 3 Per 15-, Hear 15-, Ego 11- (24) 10 PD 6 (24) 10 ED 6 CHA 156 6 Spd 25 POW 369 11 Rec 6 Total 525 40 End 0 45 Stun 11 Current Experience Pts: 320 SKILLS/TALENTS/PERKS/POWERS 45 Multipower (102 pts), OAF - Bullseye Gun, takes 1/2 pha to switch Ultras 5 u. 8d6 EB (Blaster), Autofire up to 10 cha, 4 clips @ 12 cha, +3d6 EB - cannot use more than 1 cha.

Instead, it creates an electromagnetic sphere of darkness, which selectively targets certain senses. 3) His lasso is just ordinary rope 4) His walkie-talkie is not standard police issue but appearing more like a pen in size.5) I only wanted to be able to use his +2d6 to Pre attks a couple times, hence the charges.6) The perk for Officer Harrison & Bulls-eye is actually bought twice. The one for B-E was awarded by the GM, hence a cost of 2 + 0 = 2.7) Yes, I have the car written up. No, it's not showing up on this sheet. 8) No, he does not has Watched: Police. Although he 'does' have it as a police officer, it's never been a problem, hence, not a disadvantage. He's also been awarded the Cop of the Year the past couple years. The police also realize Officer Harrison has ties with the hero group and likes being able to have some connection with the group. 9) Bulls-eye has such a reputation for his marksmanship that other gunslingers 'Hunt' him to be have contests to prove their skills vs his, that's all.

If you think there's a good chance for all of them to show up... but seven? Geez, man, that's just nuts. You may as well be a school bus driver. Then again, I have an aversion to DNPCs. I think they cause problems far out of proportion to their point value. Problems can be a good thing, of course -- a life with conflict isn't much of a role-playing game. ... but seven?

Guest bblackmoor Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Show me the PC well' date=' Superman's possible DNPCs...[/quote'] Lois Lane is the classic example, obviously, but I really don't think most of those should be called DNPCs. Just because they aren't superheroes and the character knows them does not make them DNPCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they aren't superheroes and the character knows them does not make them DNPCs.[/quote'] Well, he spends substantial time with about half of 'em, and their problems become his problems--Jimmy, Lois, the Kents, sometimes Lana--that's 4 or 5 DNPCs right there. I agree that anything over 3 or 4 is problematic, some GMs will involve all of them no matter how many you have, and others will completely forget/ignore their existence.

A suggestion to give the suit a Roman motif was refused on budgetary grounds.Personality: Special Agent Andersen is under orders to test the suit's capabilities in combat with superpowered opponents.Quote:"You have the right to remain silent..."Background: Project Spartacus is a Department of Defense project, funded by DARPA, which is one of the more promising efforts in providing a normal human operative with the equipment and training necessary to engage enhanced humans and superpowered individuals on an equal level. Utilizing captured supervillain technology, Project Spartacus consists of a powered-armor suit that enhances the wearers strengh, speed, and toughness, and a multi-blaster directed energy assault rifle to provide ranged-attack capability. Now in its final field test before production, Project Spartacus is currently being piloted by Special Agent Karl Andersen or "John Baker", on loan to the Department of Defense from the FBI to avoid posse comitatus. Special Agent Andersen is skilled in police procedure and investigation, and as a decorated veteran in the Gulf War, is also familiar with military procedures. Andersen has been given the scientific training necessary to operate and assist with the repair and maintenance of the Project Spartacus suit, although to his deep misgivings the training has hardly been necessary. Powers/Tactics: Andersen prefers to use ranged attacks to soften up his opponents before hand-to-hand combat. He will use glue grenades in order to distract or stop martial artists, and the cutting beam against foci. Any armored opponents will get a flight of armor suppression missiles or three to soften them up before combat.Campaign Use: Further notes:The armor suppression missiles suck, and are due for a redesign.

He cannot go too long without changing to Chang Jia Li, or he suffers trembling and debilitating weakness. He's noticed that he's becoming stronger and faster as well, and is worried that the shield is gradually making the change to Tao permanent.Quote:Nick: "Someone else will take care of this. I hope. Ahh, dammit, okay, I'll be...umm...back in a minute"Jia Li: "No, it's pronounced...oh, never mind." Background: Nick Karlson wishes he'd never found the shield. It's happened so often it's a cliche. You're out hiking in the wilderness, or working on the archeological dig, and you happen to stumble across the mystic artifact that grants you the power to fight Evil. Naturally there's the scene where the mystic guardian/ancestor spirits/aged sensei explains the powers and responsibilities and shows you how to call on the powers of Captain Whatever, but then you can go on to the good part, kicking ass and getting your name in the papers, right? Well, not for Nick. There have been benefits. Nick Karlson, despite never having had any formal study in the subject, is now reckoned one of the world's top experts on Chinese history and culture, thanks to the ancestor spirits in the shield. His textbooks and novels have enabled him to support his family while quitting his dead-end job in technical support, and in fact have made his family independently wealthy. There are the secrets no Westerner knows, about the secret branch of the Chang family who have passed down the uniform and shield, mother to daughter, since a Thane observer first augmented a Chinese peasant woman with his mystic powers and provided her with a servitor uniform and an enchanted sorvak'kall fighting shield millenia ago. How the Taiji Tu came to the United States in the 1800's to guide and protect her people in the West. And, how the last wielder, now calling herself Tao, fought mystic threats and Bundist saboteurs in the thirties and forties. There is the story of her forbidden love affair with a Japanese man, their wedding against the wishes of both families, and his internment as an enemy alien while his uncle, a sorceror in the service of the Yakuza, lured Tao to the wilderness, murdered her, and left her in a shallow grave. There is the price for his wealth and knowledge, as the Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate transforms him, and Chang Jia Li resumes her mission:to protect her people from the mystic threats of ancient China and modern America. Powers/Tactics: Well, Captain America, kind of. Not exactly the leader-type at this point in her career, Tao will attack enemy blasters, reflecting their attacks back at them or at tougher opponents to soften them up. She attempts to disarm or destroy enemy Foci, and trip enemy Bricks at range. Martial Artists get a shield-bash.Campaign Use: I like Tao. Hope that this one gets picked, but there are three more to go . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since he was a kid and went to his first movie he would act out the scenes and dream about being the main character in the film. He was always in the school plays and went to movies constantly. His parents who were basic down-to-earth type people hoped that he would grow out of this but were disappointed, but not surprised that he announced he was going to acting school after graduation. They argued with him saying that it was a foolish decision and that he was wasting his time. When they said that he would have to go on his own steam he did just that. He applied for a loan, didn't get it, applied for grant and didn't get that but he kept trying. Eventually he managed to get enough for tuition and worked various odd jobs, (his many PS) and managed to graduate. Than he went to into the world of acting and found that it was alot harder than he thought it would be. He struggled for years but never got a starring role. He spent almost five years doing bit parts, walk-ons, and commercials. He was almost ready to give up and go home when he was discovered some men in some expensive suits right after his last gig. They introduced themselves as P.R. men for a corporation that dealt specifically with personal defense and that they needed a spokeperson. They wanted to interview him for the position if he would also agree to test some of thier equipment. Although Jason was skeptical at first he realized that he was pretty much at the end of his rope and needed something to give him success or just quit. He agreed and went to work. The equipment that he was chosen to test was an experimental bio suit that would conform itself to the wearer body. It would allow him greater strength and durability as well as ability to transform into any clothing that the wearer wanted to be in. Unfortunately while testing the suit it was quickly discovered that once the suit came into contact with the wearer it bonded to him permanently. This of course caused Jason to freak out some and when he found out he quit his job and decided to sue the corporation. Unfortunately as it turned out the corporation was actually a front for Argent and after both S.E.C. and PRIMUS found out the corporate heads were imprisoned and bankruptcy buried them. Suddenly Jason found himself the victim of a corporate power that no longer existed and with no one to sue. This information leaked out to the entertainment industry and he found himself unable to get a job anywhere. Sure he had some superpowers with the suit but was too good a person to be a criminal. Then he heard about American Icon and decided that this was his big break and his only chance to play the ultimate role.

He has short black hair that he wears slightly spiky on the top, and large brown eyes, perpetually hidden behind the glasses he wears. He favors simple clothes in his everyday life, favoring a bit of bagginess to hide his costume under. He wears inexpensive off the rack business suits when he is at the University teaching. For a costume Computo wears a exotic material similar to ballistex woven of silk-like strands of questionite created by his powers, this costume provides a decent measure of protection versus small arms fire and street level weaponry. The costume is predominantly blue and grey with blue shoulders and v shape down his torso, with blue trunks, gloves, and boots. The remaining areas are metallic grey. In the center of his chest he has a small half disc in red from which radiate small silver lines. This he says represents the ‘rising sun’. His face is obscured by a black mask of the same material with golden goggles over his eyes. His Techpack is a large silver ovoid backpack that extrudes into his hand what ever device he wishes. This effect is purely a function of his powers and not a nifty mechanism. Instead the Techpack serves a kind of armor and storage space for his collapsible gadgets. When his powers manifest his eyes turn silver and a faint argent glow surrounds the objects and materials he manipulates. The objects themselves tend to morph like taffy under his control assuming new shapes as he desires. Personality: Kenjiro is a very easy going fellow. He is smarter than just about anyone, but a good upbringing has made certain he doesn’t lord his gift of intellect over other people. When he was younger Kenjiro was in fact very deferential to the will of his parents, particularly about which subjects he would take at university and the course his eventual career. Kenjiro hasn’t totally overcome the disappointment his parents feel about his choice of academics instead of corporate life. When it comes down to it, Kenjiro is a prime example of with great power comes great responsibility. He could do a lot of things, those things would undoubted not only put a great many people in danger again, but leading that life would prevent him from doing what good he can as Computo. Kenji often makes great personal sacrifices because he feels the greater good of the community outweighs his personal happiness. Because Kenjiro has essentially been forced to behave and act like an adult from a very early age, he detests being treated like an ordinary teen. It is the one action that can cause him to bring his formidable intellect to bear as he makes certain that the offending adult knows who exactly is boss. Quote:“Did you know you are standing in the middle of *my* city? I can do anything to you here. If you come along quietly and quickly you might even have a decent chance of beating rush hour traffic on your way to the police station. If not then remember I warned you when Metro’s 4:15 Southbound Blue line runs you down.†“I never expected that little kid to be so powerful. I mean he’s just a skinny kid. He turned my cybernetics against me, shut down our get away helicopter with a wave of his hands, and then proceeded to tell us all the ways we screwed up the heist as he caused power cables to rip out of the buildings and wrap us up like thanksgiving turkeys. I’m never coming back to Tokyo!†Deadlock of the Comets Background: He could have been one of the wealthiest and most important people in the world. Gifted with an intellect virtually without peer, young Kenjiro Fukumitsu was a child prodigy, completing his prefecture schooling and entering into the university brackets at the tender age of six. His whole town considered him a local hero and a treasure. He was thrown parades and given a place amid the adults at important village functions. It was all a bit overwhelming for the small boy with the mind of a giant. He did as he was expected to do and entered the university with the goal of achieving advanced degrees in computer science and architecture. If information was the new oil then Kenjiro was expected to be a wildcatter and pioneer new technology and ideas that would bring vast prosperity to the Japanese people. Kenjiro was of course entirely suited to this task, quickly mastering and outpacing his subjects and his professors respectively. He seemed to be able to get machines and computers to do exactly what he wanted them to do. During his doctoral program at MIT, which he attended at the request of the Japanese Government, he started to experience severe headaches and other strange physical maladies. After a few weeks if inconclusive testing by specialists from all over the east coast, Kenjiro suddenly and inexplicably got better. The 10 year old genius was very eager to get back to work. His convalescence had left his family anxious and delayed his thesis work considerably. Kenjiro was determined to work twice as hard to catch up. His thesis was on developing a new type of mainframe processor, and working late into the night Kenjiro and his assistants were calibrating the die machine and robotic arms that would assemble the tiny device. Kenjiro absentmindedly reached for a pair of calipers, only to find them across the room, frustrated Kenjiro glared at them and started to rise when the calipers flew across the room to him. Kenji ducked expecting to be skewered by the sharp tips, instead the tool hung in the air a few inches from his chest. Kenji and his graduate assistants stared at the tool openmouthed for as long as five seconds before they few clattering to the ground. Kenji decided that the best thing he could do was send everyone home for the night and resume work the next day. Strange events kept unfolding in the lab, however, as the team continued their work. Tools would move about and on at least one occasion work shelved to allow time to complete another project was found later to be miraculously completed. Kenji suspected that an outside agency was assisting him in his project, a spirit or the like since internal surveillance showed no sign of intruder. It was a frightening thought, and it turned out the wrong one. One day Kenjiro was working in the lab directing the work of the micro robots assembling the latest iteration of his project’s CPU. He was imagining the schematics for the design, and was plotting out the instruction sets to the arms when under his microscope the chip began to assemble itself. The tiny components shifted and rearranged themselves to match Kenjiro’s designs; without the robot assemblers going online. Kenjiro was amazed, but thinking logically he decided to alter the schematics of the processor believing that what ever force was causing this effect was using the template already in the robot’s computer control programs to make the changes. Yet no matter what change Kenjiro imagined it was seamlessly duplicated on the tiny sliver of silicon. Kenjiro began to realize he was the gremlin in the lab; somehow he was the one causing all the strange events. This turn of events was a bit humbling. Realizing he had little choice in the matter Kenjiro decided to limit his personal involvement in the project’s completion phases. He knew of the difficulties metagene inspired inventions received in the scientific community; if his creation was metagene created its potential for widespread adoption was next to nil. Instead, Kenjiro faked a relapse of his mystery condition and relayed instructions to the assembly team. It was unorthodox but few could naysay a ten year old genius especially when suddenly the work was free of distractions and ahead of schedule. Kenjiro spent the rest of the semester working in his room. The paperwork for the thesis was done before the technical aspects could be proven so that was not a concern. He was however worried about the cause and nature of his ability to effect matter. It was not long before Kenjiro learned that he could mentally manipulate various materials like plastics, ceramics, metals and glass. He couldn’t budge a blade of grass to save his life but he could haul his desktop computer around the room like it was on wires. Kenjiro was astounded by his abilities. He dubbed himself a technokinetic since he seemed to only be able to manipulate manmade or altered materials, otherwise known as the essential building blocks of the modern society. He also learned that he could cause these raw materials to assume the form of anything he could imagine. Moreover these devices operated exactly as he imagined them to; the creation process operated on an almost entirely subconscious level. This was both pretty darned neat and outrageously scary to Kenji. Still working from home and only making limited forays into the lab itself Kenji complete his task two months early, Kenjiro contacted his thesis board and scheduled a demonstration of his new AI system. With all the hooplah such an announcement normally creates was doubled as the press discovered the identity of the developer: the eleven year old newly minted PhD. Kenjiro Fukumitsu. Reporters and fellow scientists from around the globe attended the conference in MIT’s advanced computer labs. Kenji was shaking as he gave his little speech. He had wanted a simple ceremony to be followed by taking a private jet back to Japan and his new job working at Sony. Neither the University nor his new employer would have it though. Kenjiro was news, and news was publicity and that was worth more than money. However, more than the standard scientific crowd was interested in the newest creations of a boy genius. Kenjiro’s day was just bound to get interesting. Lord Doom had sent half a dozen trained super agents to collect the youth and his little toy. When the group of malefactors broke into the conference room, Kenjiro thought quickly and shoved the CPU into the floor, encapsulating it inside the metals transferred from the workbench it was sitting on. He then hid in and among the racks and played a game of cat and mouse with Lord Doom’s agents. Kenjiro realized quickly that his powers while nice were going to have to get a lot more powerful very quickly if he wanted to get out of his current predicament. Kenjiro had to settle for being really clever instead as he made the most of his surroundings through novel application of his powers. In the end he disabled half of the agents, and had stalled for enough time that a couple of local heroes were able to come to the universities (and his) aid. The danger he had placed people in had a profound impact on Kenjiro. He turned down the corporate offer and went back to Japan surrounded by a cloud of confusion. His mentors, his parents, and his own government could not understand why he refused to apply the talents he had worked so hard to hone. Kenjiro could not explain, other than to say that no one would be hurt because of his talents again. He applied for and received a teaching position at a Tokyo university. He applied for and received emancipated minor status. He knew he was a disappointment to his family but he had to make the sacrifice of his future so that he could help others on a more meaningful level. Within days of his move to Tokyo a fledgling superhero was seen soaring above the city. As Computo, Kenjiro has had a successful year or so as a solo superhero. He has faced and defeated numerous threats to his city. He developed a relationship with a hard-bitten Tokyo police officer, the relationship is a two way street as Computo often arrives just in the nick of time to save his ‘partner’. He has expanded his repertoire of abilities, assimilated some intriguing gadgets from fallen foes, and come to terms with himself as a hero. Still no one could have been more surprised than Kenjiro when he was asked to join the Global Guardians a day shy of his sixteenth birthday; a real ‘Rising Son†for Japan. Powers/Tactics: Computo is a metahuman with three distinct powersets. His primary ability is that of Technokinesis which can effect plastics, metals, and glass (ceramics). With this ability he can reshape and reorganize modern materials and objects on an almost molecular level for a variety of effects. He can also telekinetically move such materials around lifting them, hurling them and even erect temporary barriers made of them. When Kenjiro uses his technokinesis to create a new device his power operates on a preconscious level, providing metagene inspired genius to the ordering of the new device so that it works exactly as imagined. Of course over time the devices created by his technokinesis break down (body heal form transform) and become inert. The technokinesis ability works in stark contrast to his other innate power: Cyberpathy. Computo’s cyberpathy enables him to communicate with, take over and locate nearly any machine intelligence. He can launch devastating psionic attacks upon them, or increase or decrease their computing power. He has also learned to apply his power on a rudimentary basis to human minds but the effect is crude and taxing on him. Since his cyberpathy power is entirely conscious he must use tremendous mental effort to utilize it to its fullest. He gestures wildly as he moves imaginary icons, or taps out commands on keyboards that exist only in his mind. Still he is one of the most powerful cyberpaths on the globe. His last power is related to his Technokinesis. Over the years Kenjiro has developed several unique or useful gadgets that he can create with minimal effort using his technokinesis. He carries these devices in a solid metallic case on his back. These devices are fully functional creations of his metagene enhanced creativity and can be operated by anyone with minimal chance of breakdown. Some of the gadgets he carries around in his techpack include grenades of various types, a collapsible shield, and powered exoskeleton, and a set of discs that molecularly bond an object or person to another object. Powerstunts using his technokinesis include the formation of a powerful gauntlet-like weapon that ensheaths his whole arm to the shoulder. This power gauntlet incorporates an electroblaster, servomotors and can even serve as last ditch armor. Campaign Use: Hawksmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
