Anyone have a writeup for a super archer? Heck, I don't even need or want the whole writeup, just the ability score/defenses part would be fine.

Re: Anyone have a writeup for a super archer?

Here is my take on Green Arrow as seen on the Justice League Unlimited television show. You can get more about him on this thread.

Hmm... Apparently, I've exceeded my "attachment quota" so I can't provide an image file or Hero Designer file. So go to that thread if you want those.

Origin

Joshua Spottedhorse is the son of a Cheyenne father and Seminole mother. He lived on a reservation, learning the histories of both his parents tribes, until lhe turned 18 at which time he attended college at Florida State University. While he was at college he recieved tragic news. The villain group know as Terror Inc. had attacked his reservation, stealing the money from the casino's, and killing everyone. Joshua swore he would see Muerte and his band brought to justice. Using his new education he constucted his bow, trick arrows, and costume elements, after which he traveled to his father's home in Florida. While there he learned of the hero group know as The Forces of Nature and learned that they fought Terro Inc on a regular basis. He has since joined the group and through several battles managd to gain the enimity of Terror Inc, especially Fuer who dislikes his extenguiser arrows.

Re: Anyone have a writeup for a super archer?

Anyone have a writeup for a super archer? Heck' date=' I don't even need or want the whole writeup, just the ability score/defenses part would be fine.[/quote']I've never conducted a poll, but I think super archer might be the favorite character type on these boards. Seriously.

MechaGM · December 9, 2004

Re: Anyone have a writeup for a super archer?

Well, the super archer I have is a guy I designed to be something of a hand-out character in case I had a player who wanted to play, but didn't have the time to work up a character yet. Ergo, his background isn't written up or anything (I would have left that up to the player). I've not used him yet though, so I may end up using him at some point myself, if I get to be a player in another game.

Here he is. (his bow multipower is basically pulled right out of the Champions Genre book, from the "Trick Ammo Specialist" powerset... I do like using the "random Superhero Generator" in that book for basic ideas for quick superheroes/supervillians)

Re: Anyone have a writeup for a super archer?

This is an Extreme Athlete charcter who turned Hero after his brother was paralyzed by street crime (cliche alert). He was built for a Fairly high-powered Dark Champions Style game that never actually took place. Anyway, here he is...

Appearance: William Tell dresses in green leggings, tunic and felt archer's hat (with a large yellow feather). His quiver appears to be covered in deer hide. He is often mistaken, by the unknowing, to be some kind of Robin Hood.Personality: At his son's death, Dan developed a borderline split personality, upon that day William Tell was born. Over time, the William Tell persona has been gaining ascendency. Since his joining of GRIMM, the Dan Simpson persona has been pushed back even further. At this point, it is doubtful if Dan Simpson even exists.

William is riddled with guilt for causing Dan's son's death. He has turned to a life of crime in a misguided (and unconscious) desire to be punished for Dan's crime. If it were not for the actions of Rapunzel and the rest of GRIMM, William Tell would have been captured long ago.

William is a very moody person, apt to have rather dramatic mood swings. William Tell is completely protective of young boys, going so far as to attack his teammates if they have or are about to harm a boy. William Tell also despises all heroes to the core of his very being, he is likely to stalk, hunt and try to kill them. This is all but guaranteed if a hero has done anything to endanger or harm a young boy.

Quote:"Care you NOTHING for the lives you destroy in your pursuit of 'Justice!?!'"Background: Dan Simpson and his son Jeremy were members of a travelling circus. Their act was based upon the William Tell story. Jeremy would stand at one end of the ring and perform acrobatic leaps, while keeping apples balanced/held somewhere on his person. Dan would stand at the other end of the ring and shoot the apples with trick arrows. During an afternoon performance, The Magnificent Seven (the Lubbock based supergroup) pursued a bank robber into the circus, disrupting the act. Because of the disruption Dan shot his son through the heart. Dan rushed to his son's side, only to hear Jeremy's last words ("It's not your fault, dad."). Jeremy died in his arms. No charges were ever filed against Dan, Jeremy's death was ruled accidental -- caused by the disruption in the performance. No charges were ever even considered against any member of the Magnificent Seven.

Suffering greatly from death of his son, Dan set out to get even with the Mag7. He turned his circus skills to deadly effect. Over the next 4 months, each member of the Magnificent Seven were killed...by an arrow. However, killing all the members of the Magnificent Seven did not assuage Dan's guilt. While no official charges have ever been filed, Dan Simpson is wanted for questioning in the city of Lubbock (and the state of Texas).

Dan went on to committing more and more dangerous crimes (it has been postulated that he was becoming more and more sloppy in an unconscious effort to be captured so that he could pay for his crimes). During a midday bank robbery, Dan was nearly apprehended by the local DFW Texas Rangers SPT. Dan was narrowly saved, and helped to escape by the supervillainess known as Rapunzel. Shortly after, Dan publicly took the name William Tell and has become a member of the fairy-tale based supervillain team GRIMM.

Powers/Tactics: William Tell has a remarkable stock of trick arrows, which he uses to great efficiency. He is also very versed in tactics and will frequently bounce attacks, use the environment, sneak attacks and his trick arrows to make life for any hero very difficult. William Tell is a formidable foe on his own.

He does not work well as part of a team, since he frequently gets caught up in his prejudices and hatreds. Because of this, another member of GRIMM will frequently stay close to William to ensure that he does not get out of control (and to force him to pull back if the team retreats). Because of his psychlims, William Tell is a balls-to-the-wall kind of fighter and will give no quarter.

Campaign Use: William is one messed up dude. He has more rage inside him than your average eight supervillains. He truly hates heroes and will break ranks with GRIMM (to Rapunzel's frequent displeasure) to hunt and kill heroes that he feels are a danger to the public. If William is captured he will do everything in his power to escape (if handcuffed to a pipe, he would be likely [EGO roll] to cut off his own hand to escape). His captor had then best watch his/her back.

Appearance: A sleeveless body suit, blue with black belt and bracers. Blue arm bands, a black quiver on his back and on his waist, a black full face mask, with blue eye pieces. His bow is black wth blue trim. Andrew is a lean, athletic, young man with great upper body strength. He has close cropped black hair and green eyes.Personality: Idealistic and fearless, Andrew always wanted to be a superhero. He knew from the moment he held a bow in his hand he'd become one. He's respected for his skill and admonished for his recklessness and thrill seeking ways, but he enjoys his job. He watches over his little sister who decided to "save mankind" by becoming a middle school principal. He wonders at times if she didn't take the more dangerous job.Quote:"I never miss."Background: Andrew Pierce followed the career of his hero, the Scarlet Archer, for most of his childhood. He visited both Scarlet Archer's restraunts by the time he was a teenager, and had met his idol on at least one occasion. Seeking to emulate his hero, he took up the bow and arrow at a young age. He entered competitions all throughout his early years and studied Kyujutsu when he turned 20. He knew he would be a hero, and he approached his idol, this time as a young man and asked if he could use the name the Scarlet Archer, to carry on the legacy.

However; the meeting went badly. Winston, going through financial troubles, had trademarked the name and wasn't willing to give the young hero his blessing to use it. As a matter of fact, he brought up the possibility of a lawsuit. Fuming, Andrew simply designed a unique costume, and dubbed himself the Azure Archer.

Shortly after his career began, Andrew was approached by Bradley Winston; it seemed much of his financial troubles may have been caused by one of his old enemies. Andrew investigated, and was able to get enough evidence to implicate Gene Oldenburg, formerly known as the Highwayman. He then watched in amusement as the two older gentlemen tried to beat the snot out of eachother. After Oldenburg was arrested, Winston's financial troubles began to ease. He offered Andrew the use of the Scarlet Archer name, but Andrew turned it down; he'd decided to make his own way in the superhero world. The two remain close.

Azure Archer has recently joined the Watch, a team of up and coming heroes in the Chicago Area.

Powers/Tactics: An archer with a lot of trick arrows. He carries 64 arrows on his person (two quivers, one on his back on on his waist) He has the arrows further broken up by type, generally carrying 2 of each type of "special Arrows" and three or more of his most used arrows. His Kyujutsu manuevers work only on the broad tipped and blunt arrows. The other arrows cause damage via special effect and don't get the bonus of his precision shooting. OCV and DCV modifyers apply.

Andrew is realizing that his "up close" combat is severly limited and has been training in combat with the Shield.

Campaign Use: A beginning level Archer character. The Watch are a 350 pt superteam modeled after members of Marvel Comics, the Avengers. If you want to limit AA's combat effectiveness, drop some of his special arrows, decrease the number he carries with him and eliminate his martial arts.

To imrpove him, or for a more experienced version: Increase his STR, DEX, CON, and SPD (as part of his martial arts training); give him Karate or some such hand to hand, a few CSL's with hand to hand combat, increase his bow CSL's, give him Range levels with his bow, increase his lightning reflexes, give him some of the Archery Talents from Fantasy hero, and increase his arrow payload, though much more than 64 arrows is a stretch.

Appearance: Personality: Quote:Background: James Skyfather was born to a mixed relationship. His father, Jimmy Skyfather, was of the Cherokee Tribe from the Qualla Reservation. His mother, Maria Pavlovic, was the daughter of Americanized Immigrants. When they met, Jimmy was working for the FBI as an undercover agent of some sort. Maria and Jimmy settled down, finding a nice house near the Qualla Reservation to raise their family. Jimmy even stopped working for the government, instead finding other work elsewhere.

Not long after the birth of their second child, a daughter they named Jessica, Jimmy started acting odd. He took to talking to himself, and responding to questions nobody asked. He also started staying out late, and coming home with bruises on his body. Maria feared for her family, and especially her two children. After a particularly nasty argument, Maria took the 5 year old James and 1 year old Jessica and moved to Texas to be near her family.

James grew up in Texas, knowing he was a half breed. His mother never taught him anything about his heritage, and James never bothered to learn. Growing up in the â€˜White Manâ€™s Worldâ€™, James had a much different upbringing than he would had he stayed on the reservation. Upon going to college, he found he had a strong electrical engineering knack, and so he focused his studies in that field.

It was during Jamesâ€™ graduation from college, when he was 21, his father died. Halfway across the stage to accept his diploma and he suddenly felt the voices of 10 generations of ancestors talking in his head. He crumpled mid-stride, awaking later in the hospital with 9 voices attempting to calm him down and a 10th voice just as confused as he was. It was the voice of his father. At first James worried that he had gone mad, as his mother told him his father did. It was a week later, when his 17-year-old sister mentioned being able to see the spirits inhabiting Jamesâ€™ body.

James took the time to question the voices, coming to understand that each of the 10 voices were his ancestors, including his father. It turns out, the Skyfather family has an unusual family legacy. For some generations now, the soul of the father passed onto the body of the son. It started when Napua EyesHigh called upon the gods to grant him the ability to defend his tribe. The gods granted him enhanced speed, strength and agility, which he used as the tribal champion. When he died, his soul passed onto his oldest son, RedEagle. RedEagle had been taken under the care of the tribal shaman, as an understudy as it were. When the spirit of his father passed into him, he found himself blessed with the same enhanced strength, speed and agility as his father. He used what little shaman skills heâ€™d picked up to continue his fatherâ€™s goal of defending the tribe. Thus began the legacy of the Red Eagle

Now knowing that he wasnâ€™t insane, James began to formulate a plan. Understanding his heritage, as explained to him the ancestors, James took inspiration from the costumed super-heroes in the world, and fashioned himself a costume, a bow and put his engineering skills to use to formulate a series of trick arrows.

Emerging onto the Dallas scene, a new super hero calling himself Red Eagle began fighting crime, in the spirit of his ancestors. After a particularly rough battle with a group of powered foes, the retired hero Warhawk saved Red Eagle. Warhawk took the neophyte hero under his belt, augmenting his arsenal with new suggestions for arrows, as well as teaching him some combat techniques. Since then, Red Eagle has been slowly groomed to be Warhawkâ€™s replacement, or at least one of them.

Quote: "My Ancestors cry out for your justice criminal, what do yours say?"

Personality:. James is dedicated young man. Prior to taking up the mantle of Red Eagle, James was a straight-A student. Now with his Ancestors around to teach him, he is slowly learning what it means to be a member, and more importantly protector, of the Cherokee peoples.

Still feeling a bit overwhelmed with his current situation, he finds himself leaning on the knowledge and experience of his forefathers in many situation. Whenever he is faced with a situation he doesnâ€™t feel comfortable with, he always immediately queries his entourage for assistance. This need to ask for help is something some of his Ancestors are trying to correct as best they can, by forcing James to learn on his own.

The whole spiritual connection is something that James canâ€™t yet easily explain, his background in the technical sciences clouding his perspective. One the one hand heâ€™s got undeniable proof that mysticism and spirits exist, and yet everything he was raised to believe says that such things are false beliefs. Itâ€™s something that heâ€™s still having trouble working out.

James has gotten a bit more irritable since the 10 spirits inhabited his body. Considering he canâ€™t control them, and they are able to talk to him whenever they want (or are â€˜awakeâ€™), this is understandable to some extent. He also has gotten into the bad habit of responding to his Ancestors at normal speaking tones in public. The Ancestors and James can only communicate verbally, neither side can read the others minds. However nobody else, except his sister, can see the Ancestors so it appears to most that James is talking to himself.

Appearance: James is a athletic young man of 26, with long flowing black hair he keeps in braids. In the past 5 years since he received his family â€˜inheritanceâ€™, James has taken to wearing more traditional clothing, including leather vests with beadwork, beads worked into his hair, and twin braids for his hair streaming down his back.

In costume as Red Eagle, James wears a full body suit of deep crimson red. The Full face mask has â€˜warpaintâ€™ stripes going from the bridge of the nose down to the cheeks. Strapped onto either thigh and onto his back are quivers of his specially designed trick arrows. Over the body suit he wears a leather vest with fringes on the pockets, and a stylized eagle on each pocket. He also wears fringed leather boots on his feet. To complete the look, he has an armband on each upper arm made of gold, with twin eagle feathers hanging from the band.

Powers: The powers of Red Eagle come primarily from his arsenal of trick arrows. In each of the quivers he has a series of arrows each with a specialized arrowhead. James has gotten used to finding the arrows he needs by touch, each arrow having a series of notches or marks on one end to identify them. The arrows are held in place by a simple locking mechanism that doesnâ€™t release the arrow until a certain amount of force is applied. This allows James the ability to hang upside down without fear of losing his arrows, and yet still be able to retrieve them when needed.

The bow he uses is an specially designed collapsible bow, that can be carried on the outside of his backpack quiver. To most it appears to be made of simple wood, with cleverly designed hinges to facilitate the folding without weakening the pull strength of the bow when in use.

Other than his equipment, his â€˜heritageâ€™ blesses him with an increased level of physical ability. He is stronger, faster and more coordinated than he was prior to the spirits occupying his body. Each bearer of the heritage expressed the powers slightly differently, and itâ€™s been theorized by some of the ancestors that with enough training all the prior abilities of the ancestors could be expressed in the current host.

The ancestors themselves are disembodied spirits that are somehow tied to the body of James Skyfather. None of the ancestors knows what the source of this connection is, nor whether it can be broken by magic of any sort. What they do know that so long as a male descendent is alive, they will be forever tied to this plane of existence. It is for this reason that many of the ancestors are currently trying to pressure James into finding a wife and having children.

There are two further concerns the ancestors havenâ€™t expressed to James yet. One is that there is a gap in the ancestors. Nobody knows what happened to this missing generation, or why the generation was skipped. Second is, Jamesâ€™ sister Jessica is the first person to be able to see the ancestors besides the body being inhabited

the basic arrows are tipped with various kinds of poisons, except for the BOECV attack, which is kind of a "spirit arrow" attack. By focusing, he can make himself undetectable by his chosen target. That, combined with the Find Weakness, and the linked carrier attacks, makes him quite lethal, even against many supers.

20     Hunted:  Her Supervillian Brother 8- (Mo Pow, NCI, Capture) [Notes: Father was especialy hard on Kennedy's twin brother Jonathan, to the point where he ran away. Determined to make something of himself, he joined The World Crime League, a superpowered military group specializing in providing mercenaries, hardware and weapons to any number of clients. He excelled with his new career and quickly climbed through the ranks to a position of reasonable importance. He's not a villain in the traditional sense of the word (and he very much loves scarlet), but he's determined to make something of himself on his own terms.]
5     Hunted:  Adoring Fan 8- (As Pow, Mildly Punish) [Notes: This would be Selina Corvus, Kennedy's closest friend on the Olympic team. When she found out about Kennedy's lone power, she sold her out to the officials and was promoted to team captain. Since then, there's been bad blood between the two, with Selina antagonizing her former friend whenever she can.]
20     Dependent NPC:  Adoring Fan 8- (Incompetent; Unaware of character's adventuring career/Secret ID) [Notes: While Selina hates Kennedy, she is a HUGE fan of Scarlet Arrow, almost to the point of obsession and getting in the line of fire. Little does she know that her idol is her former friend. Kennedy, on the other hand hates her friend but will rescue as necessary - because that's what heroes do.]
10     Watched by:  Athena 8- (Mo Pow, PC has a Public ID or is otherwise very easy to find, Watching) [Notes: For whatever reason, the Goddess said "Hey, you'd make a great avatar!", gave her enough superpower to get Kennedy thrown off the Olympic team and pressed her into service. Kennedy, of course is less than thrilled by this turn of events - but she'll the dirty work, mostly because its still helping people, and she likes that. She'll still grinch about it though.]
