Character for Review and naming

[JmOz]

Okay, posted this on Dark Champs and got nill, so came over here

 

Campeign is a low powered supers, powers are permited but should be low key (Daredevil, Cage, etc...)

 

Player has given me very little imput on the character (Wanted a character that would fit in, be able to add what the party needed, be somewhat unique)

 

Character was originaly named after her weapon, but that was removed to make her more unique in the party (another player unhappy with her damage added a similar weapon to her UT belt). So gave her some DC's

 

Anyways, so review her, and let's work up a name for her

Background: Liz grew up somewhat normaly, finding she had a knack for computers. At 21, strait out of college she got hired at a prestigious tech company as a computer programer. One night when she was leaving work she was accosted by a group of 6 guys, they quickly subdued her and had there way with her.

 

She swore it would never happen again, as a child she had taken Karate, and she decided to throw herself into training. Soon she was good, one of the best. She now works three jobs. During the day she is a computer program, on the weekends she teaches self defence classes to woman at the Y, and at night she is ***********, defending the streets from all the evil that exists

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

her super hero name should be "pepper spray"

[Kirby]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Darkangel was a 4E NPC vigilante. Also, maybe Midnight Angel.

 

If she's French and her MA style is Savate, she could be Fleur De Lis (4E again).

 

Not much in the personality/background skills to go with.

 

From a one on one combat game a ways back (Soul Caliber, I think) there was a female ninja named Taki. I did like that name. Perhaps "Fury" or "Scorn" from "Hell hath no fury...."

 

She doesn't have anything that stands out (a schtick). Maybe just call her Karate Kid?

[Primal]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Valoria?

 

I got nothing...

[Lethosos]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Hrmm... nothing that stuck out. Reminds me of Midnite Maid (from Ninja Hero), but without the costume. There needs to be something that is her 'identifier'--what the papers might call her off-hand if she won't name herself.

 

The only thing that comes anywhere close is Sensei...

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Whiplash... she's gonna hit those thugs so hard that's what they come of the fight with.

 

eh.. maybe not.

 

give us more on her personality.

[Kirby]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Whiplash... she's gonna hit those thugs so hard that's what they come of the fight with.

Hmm, I kind of like this. If you take away some of those martial maneuvers and give her a whip, this could work. She'd mainly attack with her whip (and MA maneuvers with it). When people say "take away the whip and she's helpless" they discover that she's not bad at the kicking and smacking around game either.

 

Or just keep her as she is and give her a DF: Really big breasts.

[OddHat]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

I dunno.

 

Survivor

 

Shotokan (or whichever Karate style she uses)

 

Tetsujo (Iron Girl, short form to sound more like a nick-name)

 

Kara (write it with the character for "Empty")

[pinecone]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Hmmm... Payback (Its a mutha...) Giri, because she feels obligated to fight crime...Karma, 'cause they get what they deserve....

[Lethosos]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Yojimbo, for her deep-seated need to protect others?

[Kirby]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Well, she's a female, so we could either call her Hir or Shi.

[steriaca]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

If she is defently a violent man-hater (or wants to come across as such), I would proably name her Stilito (after the knife, and add that weapion to her weapion locker).

 

If she is an explosive expert, Bombshell comes to mind (I am using that name for a deadly duo of a husban and wife superteroist named Crosshairs and Bombshell). But I guess you already have an explosives expert.

 

Humm...Vixen might work (female fox). Just don't call her the name which rimes with Witch, and means Female Dog.

It's Stilletto, silly...

 

Anyway, how about Fem Fatale, since messing with her could prove...FATAL.

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

Miss Fluffy Bubble Kitty!

 

The Snuggleumph!

 

Cuddles the Wonder Flump!

 

Moogles the Narf!

 

Dark Champions characters take themselves too seriously.

[JmOz]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

A name has been finaly decided on, Nightangel. She also dropped her Combat driving down to an everyman skill (we count it as one) and added an OIF Glider cape (5")

[JmOz]

Re: Character for Review and naming

 

More about her, as said she is protective of the streets, and while she regrets killing it is sometime a sad necesity.

 

She is dedicated to making her neiborhood better, less crime, more children playing, etc...

 

Alot of the personality will come out in play, these are just hard points to start with

 

Anyways, anyone want to take a look at her stats?

Re: Character for Review and naming

Well, from a mechanics POV:

 

Why a 14 EGO? Unless she expets to face mentalists, she might get something out of going down to a 13 and sinking 2 point into something else.

 

22 COM seems excessive, as 20 is already model beautiful and COM is rarely used in play. Drop that to 20 and EGO to 13 and she'd have her Combat Driving back.

 

I'd only charge her for the Blackbelt perk if I planned to have her standing in the Martial World come up in play.

 

I take it you're charging for equipment in this campaign, so paying for the radio makes sense.

 

I'd probably streamline her martial art a bit, drop the spin kick for another HtH DC or find some other use for the points. Still, if you like the flavor of it, no reason not to keep it.

Ego is a good catch,

 

Yes I charge for equipment (it works as a nice balancer)

 

I think you are right about droping one of her perks (Probably keep them both, but call it a single 1 point, as I feel that would be about the right level for them in how they will be used in play)

 

I like the COM =)
