JSenecal Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Martial artist using an unusual martial art: Background: Isobella was trained in detective work by both her father Mycroft, her uncle Sherlock, and even Sherlock's friend Mr. Watson (he taught her the start of forensic medicine). She moved to America in 1899 to get out from her Uncle's shadow, but thanks to Mr. Watson's chronicles, the Shadow of Sherlock Holmes haunts her even today, providing an unatainable goal for her. When she first opened Holmes Detective Agency, she was a woman in a mans world. She developed both a male alter ego to run the business and the costumed persona of Thunderfox to show what a woman could do. Durring World War II, Isobella dropped the male alter ego, but she continues maintaining the Thunderfox identity to this day. As Thunderfox, Isobella was one of the first women members of the Empire Club. Although the Holmes detective agency has a very high success rate, Isobella's drive for justice causes her to take many cases for little or no fee, both in and out of costume. As a result, she makes enough money to get by, but not by a large margin. Like the Phantom, Thunderfox is a hero who's career has spanned generations. Most believe that Thunderfox has been a succession of heroes wearing the same costume, a belief she encurages. Of course some believe that Thunderfox is a single long lived hero. In this case, they are right. Out of costume, Isobella fakes a new generation every 20 years or so. As far as the paperwork goes, she's the 6th generation to be running the agency. Appearance: Isobella has the classic Holmes features of a thin prominent nose and angular features. These do not look good on a woman. As Thunderfox, she wears a head to toe armored costume which includes a full face mask. Personality: Isobella is more than just the logical observing machine that her Uncle was. But still she's a bit distant and detached. Part of this is from her training, but part is from the knowledge that she's going to outlive everyone around her. Although she has kept up with the times, her personal values were formed in her youth and would be considered old-fashioned today. For example, she never swears, and she doesn't believe in sex before marriage. The main driving force in her life is a powerful drive to see justice done. As a result, she doesn't have much of a 'life'. Powers: Isobella was born with the power of eternal youth. In addition, any injuries she survives will heal without scars. Her long life has given her a gracefulness and smoothness of movement that are remarkable, while over a century of intense training has boosted her reaction time to be the best it can be. Isobella's equipment includes an armored costume, originally leather, but currently light Kevlar. She also carries a colapsable walking cane (walking stick). This segmented hardwood cane can be restored to one piece just by a quick twist of the handle. This pulls the steel cable running through all the pieces tight, pulling the interlocking hardwood pieces together and holding them secure. She's considering getting a stun gun, but none of the commercially available ones would meet her needs. Isobella is the last living practitioner of Baritsu, a marital art developed in England before the turn of the previous century. It's a combination of English Boxing, French Savate, Aristocratic cane fighting, and Jujustu throws. While the cane is only useful with a few of the maneuvers, any maneuver could be done with the cane in hand (it just doesn't help). It is primarily a defensive art, though with more than a century of practice, Isobelle has mastered to the level that she can take on even superhuman opponents. But Isobella's greatest power is her dective mind, trained by the great Sherlock Holmes himself.

Benzini Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Density Density Inrease, usable as an attack, uncontrolled, continuous..this might get pricey. And for the record, the original Star Boy's powers were like those of Superboy, then later, the gravity control thing...which by itself, lends well to a group...but not as a single character IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSenecal Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Density Inrease, usable as an attack, uncontrolled, continuous..this might get pricey. But that makes the target stronger. The best I ever came up with was Drain STR, sticky, only in regards to original target. Special effect target is heavy and takes additional STR to lift. And for the record, the original Star Boy's powers were like those of Superboy, then later, the gravity control thing...which by itself, lends well to a group...but not as a single character IMHO I know he's like that now, I didn't remeber that he started that way till you mentioned it. How about I broaden my challenge to a character with Density Control as a special effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Mass Transit Back ground I re posted MT after I read I coudn't use DI with out the STR Increase. Randall Clifton always wanted to be someone special. He spent his childhood dreaming that he was the Boy Wonder fighting crime with Adventure Boy and Danger Girl. It was little wonder that Randal became a fireman. Randall’s crew answered the call on Feb 18th 2001 when Seattle was struck with a 7.0 earthquake. Reports came in that Lockerbe International, a military research plant, was on fire. Hearing that there were people inside Randall moved into the building. While doing a room by room search Randall found himself in on of the many labs inside LOC INT when the roof collapsed on him. The last thing he remembered was a sharp pain down his left side. He awoke inside the King County Hospital to find that he had lost his left arm. He was in a secluded room because of the radiation that contaminated him when he was in the lab. But the lose of his arm didn’t hurt as much as finding out that one of the rooms he missed while searching had a pregnant woman in it. Star Fire, a local superhero, arrived moments after the collapse and was able to save the child and Randall but the mother didn’t make it. The fire department medically retired Randall but the insurance didn’t cover half of his medical bills. A few months later Randall was working on his car when the jack slipped and the car came plunging down on him. He instinctively raised his arm to catch it and found was surprised to find that the car weighted next to nothing. Randall spent some time and learned what he could do with his powers and tried to become a superhero. It didn’t turn out well. The limitation on his powers was he had to touch to affect some one. So during a bank robbery he tried to get close to the robber when the robber saw him and opened fire. Randall decreased his mass so the bullets passed right through him. Unfortunately the elderly man behind him took the shot in the chest and died. He captured the bank robber but it wasn’t easy with one arm. Randall gave up his dream of becoming a Superhero and is currently driving a cab around Seattle. He is thinking about using his powers to help move large loads over distances but he doesn’t want to tangle with the Teamsters. A hero with Enhanced Senses bought as other powers. A.

Fireg0lem Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I don't think MT should have a 0 Range TK. FREd says that should be bought as Strength, NFC. In any case its redundant, since he can go to a 63 STR normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case its redundant, since he can go to a 63 STR normally. Well I guess if I used the TK to make his STR 60 you would be right. But what he does is Increase the Weight of an object that it would require a 60 Str to move it. That's how I see it anyway. Am I worng? A.

Benzini Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 TK idea How about: TK vs whole object, only to offset gravity,-1 so now anyone could lift the affected object/character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed-F Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 He wants to increase an object's mass, not decrease it. A 60 STR TK, only to pull objects to the earth (or the nearest gravity well) might be more appropriate. This is especially true if he wants to be able to touch something, increase its mass, and have it stay heavy as long as he maintains the power.

This is especially true if he wants to be able to touch something, increase its mass, and have it stay heavy as long as he maintains the power. I understand where your argument is coming from, but even though it sounds strange the correct way to do that is STR, Only To Hold Down.

Zed-F Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 STR, Only to Hold Down, by default only works if he has to keep touching it in order for it to stay heavy. Maybe you could add Uncontrolled to allow it to stay anchored once it's been anchored, but you'd still have to work out END cost to do so, means to de-anchor, etc. Probably by the time you worked it out, it would cost the same as the TK in the end.

Benzini Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 TK conundrum Yes, Ucncontrolled continuous, at range, (or use the tk idea to increase towards nearest gravity source, he is, after all increassing MASS of an object) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed-F Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Re: TK conundrum Originally posted by Benzini Yes, Ucncontrolled continuous, at range, (or use the tk idea to increase towards nearest gravity source, he is, after all increassing MASS of an object) If he buys Uncontrolled STR, and just wants to be able to increase mass by touching it, I would rule that he doesn't need to buy continuous or range to acheive the effect he is looking for. STR is already continuous to some degree (e.g. Grab) and an uncontrolled attack doesn't require the character to do anything to maintain the power other than feed it END to start with. Might be good to ask a question about it on the rules forum if you want to investigate further, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteryx Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Lest people forget the point of this thread... Originally posted by Argus A hero with Enhanced Senses bought as other powers. Of course, if that's too difficult (I certainly wouldn't know where to start, but then, I'm still learning), here's a considerably simpler challenge: A robot meant to be evil who, through some programming oversight, shortsightedness, or accidental loophole, eventually wound up good.

Are you looking for a character who uses Clairsentience and Skill Levels to simulate enhanced senses, or are you looking for a character with attacks that fall into similar special effects groups as enhanced senses? Do you want "The Ear," a heroic reporter who can target and track through Clairsentience defined as Super Hearing, or do you want "Dark Nostril," world coquering villain with stretching defined as nostril hair and an entangle based on sneezing on people?

With Blue hair (a wig).Personality: Truth, Justice, and Rock N' Roll. Quote:I am the God of Thunder and its about to get Hotter than Hell in here.Background: Alec Pratt is the son of a 70's Disc Jockey who instilled a love of music, and radio in his son. Alec joined a rock band when he was 12, got a record deal when he was 17 and then watched as the winds of change made grunge music popular. Unwilling to compromise his style and vision for the money, he and his band "Hero Worship" continued to play bars, fairs, and anywhere that hard rock/pop metal acts could find work. Their record contract didn't make any of the band members rich, but it did put them through college. Alec got degrees in electronics, music theory, and computers. He and his friends continued to play as Hero Worship and remained close. They used some of their money to make a studio and continue to self produce albums. Although far from megastardom, they were talented and enjoyed a modest, but loyal fan base. Tragedy struck during one of their concerts when a battle between the Champions and the Ultimates spilled into the fairgrounds. An errant attack by Thunderbolt caused a feedback explosion that basically electrocuted half the band, for Alec, it activated latent mutant genes, and the young man lashed out with uncontrollable vibration/ radio wave based superpowers. When the battle was over, Alec and his bandmates were rushed to the hospital where two of them were pronounced DOA. The other three were treated and eventually released. Alec took a few months to retrain his voice and get more control over his powers. Once he had developped fine enough control Alec cobbled together a costume that harkened back to his childhood when he saw rockers as superheroes. Now he has taken to battling crime as he records and tours with a second line up of Hero Worship. Powers/Tactics: Not alot.Campaign Use: Thanks to Lynn's Dominion for the image of my favorite.
