Re: villian background help

 

i think she needs an attackl of some discription as its stands now her most potent attack

is the crickit kick and that barely does 9d6.

 

Does she wear the infiltration suit at all times and can it be removed at all?

 

just as a thought how about a gadget pool or a utility belt multipower conating infiltration tools

 

active sonar seems an odd ability to have on a stealth suit.

oh and you ahvent got lockpuicking on her skills list and i would have expected skill levels with thief skills and PS catburglar or what ever.

Name and background

 

Jenny Jade (an assumed name) aka SILK (as in smooth as how she likes her robberies to go)

 

Jenny was a small time thief with a growing reputation until one day she got a job offer the money was great the target was a bit risky a high tech lab but the security wasn't all it should be.

 

Easy money she thought and maybe it would have been but the item she had been asked to acquire was an experimental PRIMUS infiltrator suit. The robbery went off without a hitch but the amount of heat it generated was amazing cops everywhere rousting every second story artist and fence in the city it seemed. Jenny found a safe place and laid low.

 

in the scummy transient hotel room she examined the case she had stolen inside was the experimental suit a black body suit with et consistency of rubber but the slick outer texture of silk a light weight exoskeleton out of curiosity she tried it on the suit molded to her body adjusting she pulled over the hood and tugged the attached goggles in to place suddenly information scrolled in front of her eyes an instruction manual for the suit. She spent the rest of the day learning about the suit and she didn’t want to give it up it was worth way more than the crummy fee she was getting.

 

The exchange was due that night jenny didn’t want to go but her fence had said that the clients where seriously bad news the kid of guys you didn't mess with so she turned up still wearing the suit insurance she thought in case of a double cross.

 

She cautiously approached the junkyard her fence had chosen for the exchange

As she got close to the site of the swap she heard cries of pain activating the suits active camouflage she moved closer peering past the twisted metal of the broken cars she saw two huge men working over her fence it was the double cross she feared she hesitated cowering behind the carcass of abandoned cars forgetting she was invisible then she saw something that made her blood run cold.

 

One of the huge goons had just produced a set of bolt cutters they where going to use them on her fence. He may have been a bit of a sleaze but he was a good guy dependable the only friend she had in the biz jenny hunted around for a weapon found a lump of concrete at her feet and hurled it at the goon with all her strength hoping to distract him.

 

The heavy lump of cement flew through the air with tremendous unexpected force caught him in the head and knocked him out cold.

Jenny paused shocked by the strength she had just displayed. Until she realized the other goon had pulled a gun and he could see her she reacted instantly charging into him covering the ground at huge speed she slammed him into a pile of cars and he didn’t get up.

 

She helped her fence up tearing the handcuffs that had held him down like paper

They fled the scene.

 

Her fence set her up with a new identify but warned her if she kept the suit both PRIMUS and VIPER the people those goons worked for would be after her she left eth city and now works as SILK, acquisitions specialist for hire. She has found a brilliant young techie to maintain her suit and provide her with new toys and works through cutouts and proxies to keep her self-safe from the peering eyes of PRIMUS and the vengeful reach of VIPER

Re: villian background help

 

i'm not sure how you want to use her. how do you want her to steal and react to threats?

 

it looks like the invisibility will keep her safe from most normals, but maybe not a hero with danger sense, radar or combat sense. what's her reaction?

 

you might also want to take Gliding (ground gliding, -1/4) to let her pass over pressure sensors.

 

and while it may interesting to be able to drive the threshing combine down the alley to your donkey and ride off to your waiting submarine, does she really need to ride/drive/fly everything? [where did she find a sub to practice on?]

 

and you'll need those secondary skills to back up the lockpicking [get it] and sec. systems. electronics and mechanics come to mind. other K/P/SS too, if you want them.

 

try this. ask yourself where she was born and who her parents are. then do a quick sketch of the last 10-20 years of her life. she's a thief. was she ever caught? did she do time? where? who did she meet? how did she survive prison? how did she leave? who are her friends and lovers? does she have family? etc.

 

with superpowers pretty much anyone could be a thief, but why? what drives her to do it?

 

then you have a character. the concept is good. i would just focus on who she is, not what she can do. later on {since points don't matter and i'm not a PC in your game thank all the gods and demons of the universe} you can fill in skills.

 

i always find it easier to create a character when i have restrictions.

 

good luck and remember that even GM's should get to play interesting characters.

Re: villian background help

 

Too many Transport Framiliarities.

 

I would suggest some "Resistant Defenses" or "Combat Luck"

 

Question 1. Is the Suit a Focus and if so you neglected to add the Limitation?

 

Question 2. Origin of the Suit and it's Technology/Enchantments/etc...?

 

Question 3. Is this character expected to be a Combat Character. With "Invisibility" will your GM apply "Surprise Attack Modifiers"?

 

Question 4. Do you have access to either "Gadgets & Gear" or "Dark Champions"? They are great resources for this style of character.

 

More later

i thought about that too, but if it is, then he can shave some points with an O/IIF.

 

if it isn't, then it's just incredibly difficult or impossible to remove.

 

your choice. you could even make it Independent, if you're really courageous. that's a -2!

Re: villian background help
