Hadn't thought about that. I guess I went into detail because Captain Universe is a relatively obscure character.

 

Howsabout this:

 

A character like Dr. Tachyon from the Wild Cards series or Jericho from the Teen Titans.

Base Points: 200Experience Required: 0Total Experience Available: 0Experience Unspent: 0Total Character Cost: 350BACKGROUND: Jim Fuin developed an interest in psychology at an early age, and pursued his dream of understanding the human mind as far as he could. He studied everything about the mind, including the more outre theories of Freud and Jung, theories about "psionic potentials". Combing rigorous scientific discipline and strange Eastern techniques, alongside cutting edge drug therapies, Fuin developed a regime that, when adhered to strictly, would grant it's practioner certain powers over men's minds. Content to simply have powers, Fuin made no attempt to exploit others or benefit himself.One day while shopping in the market, Fuin saw a fight break out between two supervillians, and he managed to single-handley prevent the two from causing any signifigant damage with his mental illusions. While he peeked into their minds, Fuin was fascinated by the complex psychologies he saw. Soon he fashioned himself a simple costume, and took to fighting crime - or, more frequently, talking criminals out of commiting crimes.This went well until he battled a powered armor thug with heavy anti-psi shielding. Unable to stop the juggernaut, Dyad's life was only saved by the timely intervention of Captain Washington. The Captain extended an invittion to join his new team, and the good Doctor, having just recieved a valuable instruction on the need for allies, was quick to join up. He serves as the team's resident counselor.PERSONALITY: Doctor Dyad is fascinated by superhumans and thier psychologies. While it is certainly of benefit to prevent crime and save innocent lives, Dyad is relatively uninterested in heroism, far less so than his teammates. He is far more interested in understanding them, and watching them "tick". He also finds poking around in the minds of supervillians endlessly entertaining.Dyad is a bit aloof, and sometimes overconfident of his abilities.QUOTE: "Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent. This is why you have become a supervillian, because you cannot recognize this about yourself, and so - vis a via the corrupting influnces of your own power - are thus powerless in it's face. Look Gravitar, what I'm saying is that you don't have to be a super-villian, you simply need to learn to apply discipline to your own actions, and end this self-destructive habit of counting on society to prevent you from acting out your entirely normal psychotic urges."POWERS/TACTICS: Jim Fuin is a self-taught psionic. He has developed his abilities through training and discipline, and is not a mutant. Doctor Dyad is a fairly powerful psi, though obviously there are others who are far more powerful. He is unable (or unwilling) to take direct control over another's will, but he can create illusions, induce aphasia, read deep and secret thoughts, as well unleash a person's inner demons on them (he considers his EGO Attack abusive, and avoids using it if he can). Because he is quite possibly the most brillint psychoanalyst of our time, Dyad is amazingly effective once he has breached a target's defense. Once he glimpses their innermost thoughts, he can lower their defenses by talioring his attacks to maximum effect on their psychology.Dyad hates electronic countermeasures. Pushing through them always gives him a pounding headache.While versed in Americanized, highly acrobatic version of Akido (an entirely defensive art), Dyad is a physical coward, and tries hard to avoid any direct combat, prefering to use his Illusions to hide from would-be attackers.CAMPAIGN USE: Doctor Dyad is a recognized expert in both psionics and the psychology of the supercriminal mind. He frequently appears before Congress and other instituitons to provide testimony and make recommendations. He was very important in the field of Psionic Activism, and a major proponent of mandatory registration of psionics. Many people consider him the poster-boy for responsible psionics use.NEXT CHALLENGE: A theme based character in which an innocent theme is turned to evil purposes.

Height: 2.00 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 100.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Chubby, unhappy 20 foot tall two year old Asian girl.Personality: Personality: Okiko is a typical two year old girl, sweet, playful, and with a very bad temper. She wants her mommy, she wants her binky, and she will crush anyone in her way.

 

Quote:WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!Background: The wedding of TaiGaru (Big Girl) and ShiboYama (Fat Mountain) was the biggest event on the 2000 Tokyo social calendar. Japan’s premier independent fighters of giant monsters, long time partners, were finally married on the slopes of Mount Fuji itself! TaiGaru looked lovely, 35 full feet of Japanese womanhood, while ShiboYama looked magnificent in a tuxedo made for a 48 foot tall Sumo wrestler. When TaiGaru announced that she was pregnant later that year, the Japanese public went wild!

 

Okiko was born in February, 2001. A strapping 24 pound baby girl, shy quickly demonstrated that she had inherited her parents powers and more so! Japan would be blessed with another generation of monster fighters! Her parents could not have been more proud.

 

But now, Okiko has been kidnapped and taken to Millennium City! Her captor has lost control of his captive, and she wanders the streets in a country not her own, hungry, lost, afraid! And very, very angry.

Powers/Tactics: Tactics: Okiko has no tactics. She will hit anything that is bothering her, and with her metahuman strength and Cute Baby Karate she may hit it very hard. She will probably cause a great deal of damage unless someone is able to calm her down and return her to her parents. Her high PRE is used for “cuteness attacksâ€, especially on heroines and villainesses. SHe will use her 1 hex area fists to strike at foes, and can perform sweep attacks to cover multiple hexes. Left alone, she will wander through the city, hitting things that scare her, putting things in her mouth, and crying loudly. If calmed, she will revert to her normal size, a two and a half foot tall 55 pound two year old girl. Campaign Use: City destroying menace, at least until she is calmed down and returned to her mother. If a hero were to seriously hurt or kill Okiko, that "hero" would earn the undying hatred of Okiko's parents.Next Challenge: An evil Asian Mystic Mastermind

[freakboy6117]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

i've got the basic write up for one but im still working on the charecter sheet not to much practice creating mystics.

 

THE BOSS

 

There is a shadowy force at work in the Tokyo criminal underground a force taking control of yakuza operations all across Japan and even the world.

 

Merciless hostile take over of criminal businesses across the country starting with the seemingly accidental death of the key figures within the organization followed by blackmail against the remaining lieutenants in eth form of video and phone records detailing there activities finally the call comes, a sinister disembodied voice on the telephone or the car radio or television of the victim demanding they join the organization.

 

No member of the organization has ever met the secret master of eth organization and yet they are fanatically loyal mostly due to there abject terror at the voice that whispers in the dark and seemingly has eyes, ears and assassins everywhere.

 

None of the hardened yakuza killer bouzouki biker gangers or corrupt politicians and law enforcement officers in the organization have come close to finding eth truth about THE BOSS as the voice is simply know and chances are they wouldn’t accept the truth even if they did because this Asian criminal mastermind

 

Is a cute 14-year-old girl called Midori Watanabi who carries a toy cat with her everywhere she goes has a bag covered in hello kitty stickers and who watches cartoons everyday.

 

Midori 2 years ago was a bright happy girl who loved computers and anime but she wanted something she couldn’t have and she couldn’t accept that. Midori came from a long line of mystical protectors of Tokyo, her father is a powerful sorcerer and as his father before him began training her brother Kenji in the arts so he too can become the cities defender.

 

Midori depsratly wanted to be part of her families obligation and she begged her father to train her but she was told magic was a suitable calling not for girls {her father magic had let him live a long time and he was behind the times even for a conservative nation like Japan}. There was no way Midori was taking that for an answer she knew she was certainly smarter and more capable then her dullard brother.

 

So by night she started to sneak into her fathers study and perused his magic books exploring the mystical artifacts.

 

Midori was also a gifted computer user in fact her abilities where more than human she had minor mutant cyberpathic powers so it as second nature to her to copy her fathers magical scrolls books and images of his many artifacts into her computer and as she explored the works she developed her own form of magic combining the power of the computer and ancient magic’s. She soon was a powerful mage in her own right. Yet she still wanted more.

 

To gain the power she so desperately desired she made a pact with a dark power trapped {by one of her own ancestors} deep under Tokyo and now oozing out to corrupt the web of power and communication lines that form the heart of modern Tokyo. But the old saying is true power corrupts and her pact turned Midori's heart taking on the essence of the demon her normal morals destroyed she became a cruel calculating killer.her funloving schoolgirl image a carfully constructed façade.

 

With the gifts of knowledge and power from this dark entity Midori drew more mystical energy to her self and began building her strength, creating her criminal empire and using it to establish a power base and acquire artifacts of great power and to plan for the day she can free her patron and show her father and that imbecile of a brother just who should have been the one to be the heir to the families power.

 

Appearance

A seemingly ordinary Japanese school girl, right down to the sailor type school uniform and the cute soft toy she’s never without at least 3 electronic devoices often more but that’s not too unusual though hers seem a little more state of the art than you would expect.

 

Tactics and style

 

The Boss is invisible it will take a very long time to even realize she exists let alone to track her down none of her agents know who she is none most of her magic’s are secret even her assassinations are hidden using her techno-mancy she causes electronics to malfunction slaying her targets she also has digital Oni that monitor the phones and computers of her agents and enemies and report back to her she cam see via any working camera and in Tokyo with so many camera phones she has eyes everywhere.

 

If some one finds her without knowledge of her true nature she will use her cuteness and seeming innocence and defenselessness to learn all she can about her opponents and hopefully striking at them without revealing her self.

 

If she is directly threatened the cat toy she carries around is in fact bound to a powerful demonic force that will grow to great size and defend her she is also capable of causing electrical cable and appliances to form into crude zombie like creatures to defend her she also has the ability to make just about any electronically operated device come to life and if that wasn’t enough she has a range of ordinary magic’s at her disposal as well.

 

She is truly ferocious and already deeply corrupted by the influence of the dark being she has awoken.

 

The bosses lair is an abandoned basement in a near by building that she owns via front companies it contains her mystically enhanced super computer and her collection of techno-magical weapons and mystic artifacts from around the world acquired by her organization and has a huge number of internet lines into it she also has a number of booby trapped false bases around the city as well as other storage sites for her acquisitions.

 

 

anyway I'll try and finish her sheet tommorow but if I win I would like a pacifist super hero with offensive powers

[OddHat]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

The Boss: I like her. Very Anime.

[freakboy6117]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

yeah but also some good themes in general corruption of the innocent the effect of the search for power etc.

 

she can go either way .

total possesion by dark forces her family killed by her hand and her power amped up even further,

 

or she could be freed from the taint and be taken on by a hero team to train and eventually become a great force for good.

[freakboy6117]

ok this is my first go at the character sheet for the boss im going to have another go later and see if I can make her on 350 points Ie just her normal self without the boost from the darkness in the machine.

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

just a reminder of the challange

 

a pacifistic hero with ofensive powers like vash from trigun etc

[jackalope]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

a pacifistic hero with ofensive powers like vash from trigun etc

 

I don't understand the challenge.

 

Who is Vash, what is Trigun? That's animae right? Can you give an example that isn't animae?

 

Will any character with "Psych Lim: Pacifist (Common, Strong)" and an attack power do? Because that's kind of boring.

[freakboy6117]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

umm the idea is that the charecter has an extremly deadly power and will not kill or possibly even injure with it and to build his pwoers insuch a wa that he is still useful.

 

vash is the best example i can think of he carries a gun but uses it excusivly to nofatally disarm and incapacitate his enemies.

alternativly a gentle giant a guy with super strength who goers out of his way not to harm others.

[nexus]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Vash is a gunfighter who uses his weapons in an extremely non lethal manner and ultimately refuses to ever take a life or allow others too. In allot of ways he's a poster boy for "Code Against Killing:Common, Total". He's is so good with his weapons though he's still useful as he's able to incapcitate foes, destroy their weapons and even shoot their bullets out of the air.

[SKJAM!]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Naturally, Vash's archenemy is bound and determined to make Vash break his CvK by any means necessary. (Telling more would be a spoiler.)

[Sociotard]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

It sounds like, not only would he have a nice big killing attack, he'd have a half dozen other powers based on using it nonviolently (drains, entangles, etc.)

Height: 1.83 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 73.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Personality: Ohayo Siruba is a classic cowboy hero. He protects the weak against the evil strong, speaks only truth, and absolutely will not kill. He has no memory of his past and little interest in his own life before he put on the mask. When he must mix with the public in “normal†dress, he uses the name John Reid. He’s not sure why, but he does not feel that he is lying.

 

Ohayo has no civilian identity. He survives on the bounties he accepts for the delivery of captured criminals, and on the ever renewing rations found in Siruba’s saddle bags.

Quote: “Ohayo, Siruba! Away!â€Background: Toshiharu Homma loved cowboys. The trip to the Cavendish Ranch cost him most of his savings, but it was worth it! Two weeks of riding and roping in the real American west!

 

The first four days had been dreams come true. Day five was the last day of Toshi’s life. He was riding alone, playing cowboy, when he heard a scream from a nearby gully. Maybe it was because he was wearing the hat. Maybe it was just because it was the right thing to do. Toshi lead his horse into the gully, only to find Collin Cavendish, son of the ranch owner, forcing himself on a female ranch hand. Without thinking, Toshi charged the larger man.

 

Collin shot Toshiharu Homma in the heart, and then shot the girl. He fled.

 

The man came awake to the gentle nuzzling of a huge silver stallion. On the saddle rested a pair of shining silver six guns and a pair of saddle bags containing fresh clothes, rations, and a mask. Without thinking, the man tied on the mask. The hero examined his guns.

 

He had no memory of who he was, or how he came to be here. All he knew was that a girl was dead. He would track the killer, and bring him to justice. The horse nuzzled him. The man patted the horse, muttering, “Ohayo, Siruba.â€

Powers/Tactics: Ohayo Siruba must “call†his mask and put it on before he can make use of many of his powers. Taking the mask away would not prevent him from calling it back in the next round. He is impossibly accurate with his guns, but he will not use his deadly Silver Bullets on humans. Against most foes he relies on his Spirit Bullets, while supernatural targets are subjected to Silver and Sunlight bullets. If protecting innocents or working with a partner, he may choose to save an action to shoot attacks out of the air.

 

Ohayo can only truly die if his mask, guns and body are burned to ash. Otherwise, he will inevitably recover.

Campaign Use: Ohayo makes an excellent support hero for player groups. To make him more useful, add 12-18 points in KS related to supernatural evil and history. To make him more powerful, add points to his defenses, physical stats and multipower. Adding the ability to summon an Indian Companion would also fit the character.

 

The question of who granted him these strange powers and skills, and why, could make for an interesting short adventure.

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

oh very cool odd hat we seem to haev a japanese them going lol I'll have to have a think about the challange it's an interesting one.

[synergy]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Hi,

 

I thought that I'd give a try at this and kill two birds with one stone. I'll finish the character sheet by tomorrow night, but don't have Hero Designer.

 

Ace of Spades

 

Real Name: Alec Spade

Affiliation: none

Concept: Weapon Master

Nationality: American

Hair/Eyes: Blonde/Blue

Place of Birth: Great Falls, Montana

Height/Weight: 1.73 m/81 kg

Date of Birth: December 4, 1919

Appearance: Ace of Spades still wears his superhero outfit. White tights laced up in the front with a large black spade. With a white cowboy hat and black boots and gloves. He now wears a black bandana over the bottom half of his face, but most people already know who he is. He has a pair of black leather gun belts across his waist and a black leather bandolero of bullets slanting across his torso.

Personality: Ace of Spades is sure with his shooting and quick with his looting, but ever in conflict with himself. Something inside of him wants to be a hero just like cowboys are supposed to be. But he is very much in love with Jacqueline Diamond, whom he calls his Queen of Hearts. And what she wants, he does. He still uses his playing card calling cards, but now he leaves them at the scenes of crimes that he commits.

Quote: "Get out of my way, Queen of Hearts wants it."

Background: Alec Spade was the hero of big sky country. Robbers, ruffians, and other lawbreakers from Boise to Minneapolis, from Calgary to Salt Lake City, trembled when they saw a single playing card was stuck in the wooden post next to them. When they flipped the card over to see the Ace of Spades, they knew that their trouble-making days were over. Most knew that the best thing to do was drop whatever they were holding and reach for the sky.

All that changed when Jacqueline Diamond and her gang were robbing a bank in Billings. Sure, they were easily captured by Ace of Spades. But before the police came to clean things up, Jackie Diamond had captured Alec's heart.

Picking up the choicest sparklers from the bank's safe deposit vault, the pair fled together into the night. And Jackie knew from then on that she didn't need a team of thugs, just the one man smitten by her, Ace of Spades.

 

Powers/Tactics: Able to shoot a coke bottle off of an outfield fence from home plate, Ace of Spades prefers to use his six-guns to do most everything - whether actually blazing away or just as a threat. However, he can use his fists as well or even the handy chair or bottle. One thing that he rarely uses anymore is his own brain.

 

Campaign Use: Ace of Spades is a Golden Age villain that carries out crimes for his girlfriend, Jacqueline Diamond, whom he calls his Queen of Hearts. On occassion he may work for a mastermind type of villain if it is in the best interest of Jacqueline.

 

If I finish before anyone else posts to the last challenge, then I'd like the next challenge to be: A Golden Age Gangster with a weird name/look (like a Dick Tracy villain or one of Spiderman's gangster villains - you know like Hammerhead, Pruneface, Shakey). Maybe with an equally weird name/look sidekick thug.

Background Information, White Wizard

 

Header Information:

Real Name: William J. Simmons

Player: NPC

Hair: White

Eyes: Blue

Height: 1.9 m

Weight: 89 kg

Nationality: American

Date of Birth: September 27th 1893

Place of Birth: Stone Mountain, Georgia

Background Story: Will Simmons was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia, over one hundred years ago. His father was a traveling preacher who had settled down, and had a great deal of influence on Will’s life – James Simmons had fought in the Civil War, and had lost his right arm to a Union bayonet. He was still bitter about it, blaming the “darkies†for all the troubles of his life, from his arm to his poverty.

 

Will decided he wanted to be a preacher, just like his father, although he would stay in Stone Mountain. When his father had to retire due to poor health, he took up the job of preaching to the people of Stone Mountain. He was a gifted orator – he had a real talent for stirring up the spirits of others.

 

He was the one who brought about a revival of the Ku Klux Klan, partly at the urging of his father, and partly in response to a noticeable influx of black Americans to the area. Although Father Simmons was well known as an agitator, he was never charged or arrested, largely because of how much of the local law enforcement was friendly to him.

 

Father Simmons might just have preached and burned crosses in Georgia until someone finally arrested him, but that was not to be. His father’s poor health finally caught up with him, but before he died, he gave William something he had found. He never explained where it had come from. It was an old, moldy book, looking several hundred years old. Inside of it were magical runes – runes his father couldn’t comprehend. But William, for some reason, could. The runes told him about magic.

 

William was still deciding what he should do when Pearl Harbor was attacked. That ended any questions; for all his flaws, William was a patriot. He went the local recruitment office, explained that he was a wizard, and demonstrated.

 

Before long, he was sent to the Liberty Legion for training. He quickly proved to be a superb soldier and a natural leader, as well as exceptionally powerful. As American Archmage, he won battle after battle against the Axis super-soldiers.

 

During the Battle of the Bulge, he was called upon for special duty. Eight of the best of the Liberty Legion were to try to destroy the Warlords, the command unit of the Vanguard, Germany’s superhuman army. Titan, the commander of the Liberty Legion, was going to lead personally, and American Archmage was to be the transporter.

 

The battle was very, very close. Several of the Liberty Legionnaires lost their lives. In the end, the only ones left standing were American Archmage, and Monitor (a battlesuit) on the Allied side, and Krieg (the commander of Vanguard), with the others having traded off. The Legionnaires attacked Krieg with everything they had, but the Nazi juggernaut refused to fall. He hammered American Archmage with his mighty blows, knocking him to the ground. He was about to finish him off when Monitor slammed into him from behind at top speed.

 

Despite a blow that could have caved in a tank, and had disabled Monitor’s armor, Krieg stood back up, albeit limping. He raised his fist to deliver a coup de grace on his helpless opponent, when American Archmage, in desperation, used the last spell he had left that might work – a powerful spell that would banish the target from existence for all time. Finally, something had an effect – Krieg simply disappeared.

 

When American Archmage went to try and assist Monitor, he discovered that the man he had just been fighting alongside was black. Stunned, he went to assist other Liberty Legionnaires, and as soon as the survivors were recovered, he demanded that Monitor be discharged. When Titan refused, American Archmage quit the Liberty Legion and threw away his medals.

 

After the end of the war, American Archmage resurfaced as White Wizard, the white-supremacist “hero.†Decades later, as he began to feel the effects of his age, he recruited other like-minded superhumans, forming what may be the least liked group of superhumans in America: Homeland.

 

Quote: - "You’ve tarnished America. Corrupted her spirit. Defiled our homeland and spat upon what God has granted us."

 

Personality: White Wizard is bitter and depressed, but he hasn’t given up yet. In his opinion, he should be a hero. He’s dedicated over fifty years to fighting for what (he thinks) is right, and his reward is being ostracized, hated, and hunted by the very country he cares so much about.

 

But, still, he’ll never give up. He says it’s because he that’s how much he cares. In reality, it’s because without his crusade, there would be nothing left of him. He is totally consumed by his dream, to the point where he allows nothing to get in his way.

 

Appearance: White Wizard always dresses in a KKK-style robe and hood with magical glowing runes all over it. He carries a large, gnarled staff made of white ash, often leaning on it for support. Without the robe on, he looks like a middle-aged but fit man with white hair, always clean-shaven, and a deeply lined face. His face is usually twisted into an expression somewhere between a grimace and a frown.

 

Powers: White Wizard is a very powerful wizard, with decades of experience. He normally has a number of basic attack and defense spells on hand, as well as spells of flight for quick transport. He also has a large collection of spellbooks, and so long as he has access to them, he can prepare any number of other spells. Although he is fairly flexible, White Wizard is primarily a combat mage, although his other abilities are still quite impressive.

For my challenge, I'll just let Synergy's one stand, on condition that he post the character he's working on. I seem to have poor luck with my challenges being to hard/obscure/dull or whatever.

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Synergy: Classic background. "Brung low by a woman." Hope to see the stats.

 

Fireg0lem: Nice! Very cool Golden Age Super gone Bronze.

[SKJAM!]

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Here's a fellow I created as an archenemy for my Golden Age character, the Mask of Justice, who sorta fits Synergy's challenge.

 

 

 

 

THE FACELESS ONE

 

Real Name: Unknown (uses many aliases)

Concept: Master Villain

Affiliation: Leads own gang, archenemy of the Mask of Justice

Hair: Bald, black eyebrows

Eyes: Pale gray

Height/Weight: 169 cm/64 kg

Nationality: Believed to be American

Place of Birth: Unknown

Date of Birth: Unknown

Creator: Scott K. Jamison skjam@yahoo.com

 

 

Background: The Faceless One's true identity and history are unknown. From hints dropped in conversation, it is believed that he was a minor criminal during Prohibition. If his story is to be believed, he was doublecrossed by his gang and left for dead. But he found a convenient corpse to substitute for his own body and fled the country. For over a decade, the man who would become the Faceless One toured Europe, learning the arts of disguise and showmanship. Eventually he returned to the United States and resumed his criminal career, but this time as the leader none dare cross.

 

The Faceless One first crossed paths with the Mask of Justice when the latter foiled the "Dead Presidents Robberies", in which the Faceless One's minions were costumed as deceased former chief executives to rob banks. The MoJ quickly realized that the banks being robbed were on streets named after presidents, and were being robbed in chronological order of presidency. It was then easy to trace the gang back to its lair. The Faceless One apparently died when he set off explosives in an attempt to stop the Mask, but in reality survived.

 

Since then, the two have clashed several times, each seemingly ending with the Faceless One's death. But the Mask of Justice knows better now.

 

 

Personality: The Faceless One embodies two conflicting impulses. To live a life of luxury and ease, with no one pursuing him; and to be recognized as the most brilliant crimelord of all time. Thus his double life as a "respected citizen" (which one is not known at this time), and as the bizarrely-garbed Faceless One. Perhaps the Faceless One's greatest weakness is his tendency toward theatricality. It is not enough for him simply to shoot a downed opponent; they must be placed in an elaborate deathtrap. He doesn't just rob banks, they must be robbed with flair.

 

Despite, or perhaps because of, his melodramatic ways, the Faceless One is a natural leader, and is easily able to recruit new thugs to replace any lost in previous plans.

 

Quote: "So, Mask of Justice, we meet again...for the last time."

 

Quote About Him: "Hey, remember that time the boss made us kidnap that scientist with the shrinking formula? That was a lot of fun, except for the part where the police kept me in a birdcage. The Faceless One is a real hoot to work for."--Joe, low-life thug.

 

Powers and Tactics: The Faceless One is a master of disguise, able to use makeup and accessories to change his appearance completely in a matter of minutes. He's also an accomplished escape artist, and a miracle worker when it comes to avoiding certain death. As well, he's very cunning, and fancies himself a master planner. While the Faceless One has no actual superhuman abilities, he can often lay his hands on experimental weapons or exotic creatures to help him commit crimes.

 

The Faceless One prefers to avoid direct combat, as that is what he has minions for. If cornered, he can use his holdout pistol or flash bombs as a last resort. His plans tend toward the elaborate, even the Byzantine, often involving the Faceless One impersonating a public figure or a government official.

 

Appearance: Under his many diguises, the Faceless One is a slim man of average height. He's bald, and has unusally small ears and nose. His flat face makes it easy to add distinguishing features. In his full glory as the Faceless One, he wears scarlet and purple robes with a hood, and a gauze veil allowing him to see without being seen.

 

Campaign Use: In the Global Guardians world, the Faceless One is meant to be a recurring foe for a player character, reasonably easy to foil, but difficult to put away permanently. He's meant primarily for two-fisted adventurer types to battle, and would be suitable for wilder pulp genre campaigns. If he's not powerful enough for your campaign, add more/tougher followers, and perhaps another permanent gadget or two that he can use to disable/distract foes with, in addition to increasing the size of his "master plan" pool. As a Hunter, the Faceless One tends to overly complex revenge schemes, and his ego makes it difficult for him to conceal his handiwork for long.

Re: Character Posting Game.

 

Background: When Boss Grissom needs to take someone out all subtle like, that's when he calls on Dino "the Rat" Donacelli. Dino is a sleazy, ammoral operator with a penchant for sticking his nose in other people's business. Sometimes a problem that can't be killed can be convinced to simply go away - skeletons in the closet can hold tremendous power after all.

 

Nobody is particularly scared of Dino, and he's not much to look at, but lord help anyone who crosses him. While Dino himself isn't very scary, he knows everyone, and they all owe him a favor - or if they don't, he knows something about them he can use to extract one.

 

Personality: Dino is a small, weak, ugly man. He's scared of other people, and desperate to have power over them. He discovered a long time ago that people want to keep their image clean, and that if you can dirty it, that gives you power over them. So, Dino has found a way to be powerful despite his lack of looks, charisma, strength, courage or much of anything else.

Did so much work on it (including writing up the "Angel of Death" Limitation) that I'd like to show the thing off.
