Character for Review: Blue Nova

[Elbandit]

Howdy!I would like some feedback on a character I built for one of my players in my campaign. I am not sure I built the character correctly. The idea was a speedster who gets his power from an alien drug. While on the alien drug the character becomes radioactive. Also he can boost how fast he can react with additional doses of the drug to the point where he could die. The player wanted to have the drug also increase his strength, like an adrenline rush. The stats inclue the normal drug dosage added to the primary stats. Secondary stats add in the benefit of the second dose. The third and final dose of the drug is not added into the stats.So I now present, BLue NovaBlue Nova

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Bald
Weight: 59.00 kg	Eyes: Greyish Blue

Appearance: Haley is very thin but well toned. His exposure to Nova changed his eyes from green to what they are now and the radiation makes him look like he has had chemo-therapy. Other than that there is nothing all that out of the ordinary about him.

 

The containment suit is a blue-silver metallic body suit made out of a combination of the outer shell from the meteorite and standard ‘superhero’ spandex. The radiation converter is housed within a set of bracers, boots, helmet, and breastplate w/backpack unit (blackened metal in color). Each part has both an extract point and exhaust channels (both of which look crystalline and are opaque sky blue in color). The helmet includes a HUD computer built into the visor that enables Haley to adjust his sense of sight to high speeds, injector controls, and controls for the exhaust halo in the backpack. The breastplate also has the Nova injector tied-into the main extract point. The backpack has intake openings that the exhaust is focused into from the exhaust channels. Exhaust is then expelled from a halo-like opening in the back, size and direction of this opening is controlled through the helmet’s HUD.

Personality: Haley is a bright and good natured person. Normally he is neither reserved nor rash, and tends to be outgoing, honest, and loyal. He keeps the nature of how his powers work a secret. In combat he tends to creative but obedient towards authority figures on his side.Quote:Background: Haley’s early life was fairly normal. He was an only child but easily made friends with his next door neighbor, Noah Carter, their friendship has lasted since. He excelled throughout his academic career, but took specific interest in mineralogy and astrology.

 

While studying radioactive minerals in college, he discovered a way to covert and burn off most sources of radiation. The idea and machine while not commercially cost effective got him enough money from government contracts to let him spend most of his time after college doing whatever he wanted. This turned out to be searching out and researching meteorites and other fallen objects from outer space.

 

Mineralogist and freelance inventor, Haley Scott, spent most of his time chasing down and researching meteorites. One day, he found a rather unusual specimen, despite having just fallen to Earth, the large car sized meteorite was cool to the touch and gave off no radiation. However when he opened it back in his lab, the inside gave off an eerie light and substance. Haley’s skin absorbed some and for the next hour or so he possessed incredible speed and above average strength. After the effects wore off, radiation poisoning set in leaving him bed-ridden in the care of his best friend, Doctor Noah Carter.

 

Working with the rock, he discovered several things about both the outer layer and inner stubstance. First is that the outer layer both acted as both containment unit and armor for the substance. Next was that a side effect of the radiation incorporated itself into his organic functions (requiring that he has a certain amount of trace radiation in his system for his body to continue operating). Lastly was that this alien narcotic not only boosted his speed and strength while it was in his system but also left him with the speed capabilities of an Olympic track star and the strength of a casual bodybuilder.

 

With some research Noah determined that the radiation would kill Haley within five years, sooner if more than minimum dosage was used. Unable to just let himself die, nor go into isolation until his time was up, Haley used some of the outer shell of the meteor and a mobile proto-type of one of his inventions (a radiation converter) to create a suit that would let him use what powers he had gain to help people. Having just completed his test run for the suit he is now ready to begin.

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

So did I botch construction that much on the concept? Or is every underwhelmed by it?

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

It's a pretty complicated build for a very interesting character. To tell you the truth, I'm gonna have to look at this one later, when I'm sober. Sweet idea.

[Bloodstone]

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

Are there any campaign imposed limits? 'cause a 17 DCV and a 9 SPD could be quite overpowering if the rest of the horoes and villinas in the game world are walking around with a 5 SPD and CV of around 10-12.

 

I can't make heads or tails out of this Radioactive Aura Side Effect limitaiton.

 

If I'm reading this right, the Radioactive Aura is simply not a "Side effect" and is not worth the massive cost cut that it gives the character. This is a CON Drain Damage Aura that the character is personally immune to, right?

 

I'm not really sure I get the idea behind the Reflex Compensator HUD at all.

 

The Nova drug is also confusing. Linked is not an appropriate limitaiton here. And I'm not sure exacty how the charges work. If I'm reading it right, he is always on a "single dose" since it has no charges. He can then double dose himself up to for time per day, which Enrages him. He can then tripple dose twice a day, but this does damage to him? Are these three powers supposed to be based on the same pool of charges?

[Elbandit]

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

Howdy!

 

I am glad to get some feed back! Keep in mind, while I stated the character I did not come up with the concept. Blue Nova has been a diffucult build for me.

 

Are there any campaign imposed limits? 'cause a 17 DCV and a 9 SPD could be quite overpowering if the rest of the horoes and villinas in the game world are walking around with a 5 SPD and CV of around 10-12.

 

While it does look scary and unbalancing, in the 6 modules we have played the character has not been un balancing. A good AoE attacks generally takes him down. Plus the Dodging Bullets ability sucks up END really fast.

 

I have considered reducing the DCV down some to bring it more in line with other characters. It has been an area of concern of mine, which is why I posted him here

If I'm reading this right, the Radioactive Aura is simply not a "Side effect" and is not worth the massive cost cut that it gives the character. This is a CON Drain Damage Aura that the character is personally immune to, right?

 

Using the alien drug makes the character radioactive, thus requiring the suit to protect the rest of the world from him. I was not sure how to properly represent that so went with Radium's radioactive ability as a model for side effect.

 

The massive reduction is one of the things I am concerned about.

 

I'm not really sure I get the idea behind the Reflex Compensator HUD at all.

 

The player wanted his suit to have a computerized Heads Up Display compensate for his increased abilitry to move and feed him tradjetory data so it allows him to use his super speed effectively.

 

The Nova drug is also confusing. Linked is not an appropriate limitaiton here. And I'm not sure exacty how the charges work. If I'm reading it right' date=' he is always on a "single dose" since it has no charges. He can then double dose himself up to for time per day, which Enrages him. He can then tripple dose twice a day, but this does damage to him? Are these three powers supposed to be based on the same pool of charges? [/quote']

 

I linked the Strength and Endurance enhancement to the Speed Boost because it was a "charged" item. Without the link you can get some wierd things where just his speed is boosted or just his Strength is boosted.

 

Second dose and third dose are more misnomers since technically the character is probably on a slow feed of the drug to keep his powers at the normal level. The player came up with the terminology, which I will change.

 

The second dose is most likely a larger injection of the drug into his system. While he is on the "second dosage" he becomes easy to agiate and goes into a slight rage due to the drug's effect. It is either he can physically handle 4 uses on the second dose or the suit only has a resovior large enough for 4 additional doses on this level. I am leaning towards the former.

 

The "third dose" is another, probably larger dosage of the drug injected into his sytem. It could kill the character due to the stress placed on his system, which is why the Killing Attack is there. I limited it to 2 times per day mostly to have a limit. He probably would die after the second use of the third dose anyway.

 

I did not think of having them operate off the same pool of charges ... that is an intreasting idea. What would you suggest to improve the legality of the character?

I missed the Costs End lim on that actually. A speedster really shouldn't be hit very often, so it's ok to have a huge DCV. It's just that the combination of such potent offense with such a high speed and CV can be devestating if the rest of the party/world is not up to snuff.

The massive reduction is one of the things I am concerned about.

 

It's not a side effect. It's a straight up damage shield and a deadly one at that. It's a seperate power, not a limitation on his other powers, despite the fact that it is inconvinent at times.

 

The player wanted his suit to have a computerized Heads Up Display compensate for his increased abilitry to move and feed him tradjetory data so it allows him to use his super speed effectively.

 

I personally tend to handwave a Speedsters uncanny ability to maneuver at super human speeds. However, you could possibly give the character a Physical limitation that prevents him from using his full speed without the helmet. Or write it up as a limited form of megascale senses.

 

I linked the Strength and Endurance enhancement to the Speed Boost because it was a "charged" item. Without the link you can get some wierd things where just his speed is boosted or just his Strength is boosted.

 

I think a standard compound power should suffice here actually.

 

I did not think of having them operate off the same pool of charges ... that is an intreasting idea. What would you suggest to improve the legality of the character?

 

It just sorta seemed to make sense to me. In any event, I'll try to do a write up of the character for you tonight. It will be quite a bit more expensive though without the lims...

Cool idea! Maybe have to pinch some of it!

I have been thinking of reducing the bonus down to a +8, which still keeps him at a 15 DCV, especially since I know the player will need to scrap sopme points. Course it also allows him room for advancement at some point on that ability.

I included it because the USPD has the ability listed as a necessity. Though I have noticed that none of the offical HERO speedsters has that power ... I wonder if that will change when The Ultimate Speedster comes out.

Coolness! I look forward to seeing your version of the character.

 

I have been tinkering some with Blue Nova today. I have toyed with the idea of having the primary nova enhanced abilities being a OIHID set up but that doesn't really jive with the possibility of losing his supply of the drug. I have also considered removed the IIF limitation on the EC mostly because one of the powers, "Let's Wrap This Up" has a OIF limiation. I thought about replacing the IIF with "Only when on the Nova Drug" at a -1/4 limitation.

 

I have also cosidered boostable charges on the "second" and "third" dose but I am not sure.

Thoughts?

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

I've got an outline of the caracter done without making too many drastic modifications or cutting any powers (though I did change the HUD to Megascale Sight).

 

He's around 470 pts.

 

Should I post him as is or do you want me to shave him down to a 350pt character first?

[Elbandit]

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

Go ahead and post him

[Bloodstone]

Re: Character for Review: Blue Nova

 

Found a few errors and made a few last minute changes. Still needs to have some points shaved off, but he's only about 70 pts over now.

 

I didn't bother listing the everyman skills or Disadvantages.
