Valiant City and her Intrepid Heroes

[Napalm]

I have been working on, for some time (since Marvel SuperHeroes) on a camapgin setting - City by the name Valiant City...imagine Chamion City meets Blade Runner and there you have it. It's a City rife with crime - it houses all kinds of heroes from Street Level to larger than life Heroes. This is the real reason I got into Hero Games in the begining - the translation in Marvel was greatly limited....and the Mutatns and Mastermind system also limited, was better but I felt far more constrained.

 

Now, I feel thru the power and majesty of the Hero System that my dreams of Valiant City and her champions my see life as they have never before by using the Hero System - so I shall now introduce a a handful of her Champions.

 

((Disclaimer - Valiant City and her Heroes were largely inspired by The Tick and the Mystermen so, be prepared))

 

the Weed Whacker - Dark Gadener of Justice, mowing evil down to size. A former weapons developer for the Pentagon who was released after a psychological breakdown and became a Small Engine Repair specialist in Valiant City and after his store being robbed on more than one occasion - he decided to take the law into his own hands.

Armed with his supercharged weedeater, throwing trowels, and his determination to uphold justice he hits the streets to proctect the common man!

 

Captain Crowbar - Valiant City's longest running and most powerful hero. Armed with a Crowbar constructed from the metal 'indestructium' absolutely NO barrier can stand in his way! With his skills of deduction and seemingly limitless knowledge of crime and alcohol he defends Valiant City and even the World from the threats of Villiany!

 

Jungle Jim - An Aussie who livesfor the hunt. A man who has hunted almost every living thing imaginable except one - Superheroes, his new target. He works with Johnny Dingo in trying to rid the world of Superheroes. He has been successful in mounting several Super's heads on the walls of his trophy room. And as well has been paid handsomely by his benefactor Johnny Dingo.

 

As soon as I figure out the rules and whatnot - I'll be more than happy to post their character info up here if you'd like

Captain Crowbar! I love it! In a science fiction rpg I once played an insane guy who was the last surviving crew from his ship who had undergone chemical interrogation at the hands of some genetically modified militants. He ran around in button butt, one piece, long johns a bright green bra on his head (which he stole from the commander of the new ship) a duct tape utiliy belt and Mr. Wiggles, the crowbar of justice.

 

One of my favorite characters.

Heh... I had a goofball character called Stanley Steamer way back when... He had steam-powered armor and other steam-based technology, including a steam-powered, ultrasonic-driven weedeater that had Polydiamond Monofilament line as the cutting element... The heroes laughed at him, until the heroic power armor dude faced off with him, and Stanley's weedeater sliced through his armor like a hot knife through butter...

 

Macho power armor dude screamed like a little girl... It was great...
