Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

Well, here it is: 50 heroes plus one mentor figure, all on a handy(?) table(well, it's a 17x22 table, so not sure exactly how handy). Basic stats, movement, senses, attacks, defenses, skills and perks, weaknesses and a brief description.

 

next step, writing up the backgrounds and putting them all into HD.

 

Whew.

 

Oppenheimer didn't make the cut?

Oppenheimer didn't make the cut?

oops--actually that was my list of pcs(that I still have to do full writeups for.)

 

I'll try to add the others to it in a future post.

 

Oppenheimer will most certainly be on that one.

Tell me about it. I get tired just thinking about it now.

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

15 writeups so far. pretty cool. Think we have a pretty fair range of archetypes and backgrounds in there.

 

I'll try to get some of the HD writeups done this weekend.

 

 

Did you get a chance to look at my links?

 

I can provide HDC files if you want.

Cost Powers END

72 Space-Time Powers: Elemental Control, 180-point powers, (90 Active Points); all slots Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

72 1) Bigger than Big! Taller than Tall!: Growth (+120 STR, +24 BODY, +24 STUN, -24" KB, 2.097E9 kg, -16 DCV, +16 PER Rolls to perceive character, 512 m tall, 256 m wide), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (180 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

72 2) Gravity Warping!: Force Field (45 PD/45 ED), Hardened (x2; +1/2), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (180 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

74 3) Striding Accross The Galaxy: Flight 14", Position Shift, x512 Noncombat, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Variable Advantage (+1/2 Advantages; +1) (182 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

Notes: Gravity means nothing to Galaxy Man. He can drift slowly with some precision, "Jog" at over 3 Kilometers per step, or use his Variable Advantage to accellerate to truly absurd speeds.

48 4) Massive Personality!: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 3d6+1, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Penetrating (+1/2), Damage Shield (Offensive; +3/4), Continuous (+1) (187 Active Points); No STR Bonus (-1/2), Always On When In Hero ID (-1/4), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

Notes: Galaxy Man is impossibly dense and massive; just coming near him will eventually destroy most forms of matter.

33 5) Growth Eternal!: Healing 7 BODY, Can Heal Limbs, Resurrection, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2) (190 Active Points); Extra Time (Regeneration-Only) 1 Turn (Post-Segment 12) (-1 1/4), Self Only (-1/2), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

Notes: When your body can restructure itself to become half a kilometer tall and absurdly massive, a little thing like repairing damage is child's play. Only the complete dispersion of the atoms making up his body could truly kill Galaxy Man.

Galactic Powers II, all slots Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

120 1) Heavier than Heavy! Just Galactically Heavy!: Density Increase (2,097,152,000 kg mass, +120 STR, +24 PD/ED, -24" KB), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (180 Active Points); Linked (Bigger than Big! Taller than Tall!; Greater Power is Constant or in use most or all of the time; -1/4), Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

48 5) Your Puny Attacks Mean Nothing to Galaxy Man!: Energy Damage Reduction, Resistant, 75% (60 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

28 8) Look At Me! I'm Huge!: +35 PRE (35 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

20 9) Uncompromising Bulk!: Power Defense (20 points), Hardened (+1/4) (25 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

68 10) Galactic Senses!: Spatial Awareness (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Increased Arc Of Perception (360 Degrees), Microscopic: x1000, Perceive into the "normal" universe when in the Macroverse, and into the Macroverse when still on a human scale, Range, Rapid: x1000, Telescopic: +30, Tracking (85 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4)

Notes: Galaxy Man senses the gravitic imprint of objects, and is able to do so with astonishing precision on any scale and over vast distances.

20 11) To the Macroverse!: Extra-Dimensional Movement (Related Group of Dimensions, Single Location) (25 Active Points); Only In Heroic Identity (-1/4) 2

Notes: Galaxy Man can move himself into any layer of the Macroverse, becoming eventually the size of an entire galaxy. When in the Macroverse, his interaction with objects on a less absurd scale should be determined by the GM. See the Ultimate Metamorph for details.

27 Translator Microbes: Universal Translator 20-

11 Your Now is My Then!: Precognitive Clairsentience (Sight Group) (40 Active Points); Precognition Only (-1), Only Knowledge of the history of this timeline (-1), Vague and Unclear (-1/2) 4

Notes: Galaxy Man was born in 3012, and had a life long interest in history. He knows a fair number of facts about the "past", our present, but he can't alway remember them correctly. Further, this may not even be his original timeline, so much of what he knows is probably wrong.

Total Disadvantage Points: 1550

 

Background/History: A graduate student at the University of Venusburg, Martin Fishbein volunteered for a time travel experiment. Target: Earth, 1980. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. Martin "landed" more than 25 years late, more than ten years after he was to have been picked up. On the other hand, the side effects of the trip made him into a vastly power superhuman, so there's always an up side.

Martin had planned to observe Earth Culture in the guise of a tax accountant, and had studied his role extensively. He also had the skills to forge a past for himself. He has recently begun using his powers to attempt to help 21st century Earthers, with mixed success.

 

Personality/Motivation: Martin may have become slightly unhinged due to his trip. Handsome, charming, and almost annoyingly chirpy and cheerful, Martin makes friends easily and then drives them slowly mad. Martin studied the period of 1850 to 2020, but tends to make minor mistakes when it comes to any number of small details.

 

As Galaxy Man, Martin likes to put on a show. He sometimes fails to think through the consequences of, say, growing to 300 feet tall inside an office building, and rarely thinks twice about inflicting outrageous amounts of property damage.

 

Quote: "I'm bigger than big, taller than tall!"

 

Powers/Tactics: As a side effect of his transformation, Martin has become almost superhumanly strong and tough. He is skilled in the art of Venusian Aikido, very well trained in the history of Earth's 20th and 21st centuries, and a competent weird scientist. He has been implanted with translator microbes to allow him to communicate with virtually anyone.

 

Galaxy Man is a walking fold in the fabric of space-time, a gravitic anomaly with a personality. At human size he can destroy almost anything he comes into contact with, ignore gravity, move incredibly quickly in any direction, and sense his surroundings at an almost primal level. He is, for all practical purposes, indestructible. He can also get very, very big. At his maximum size while still interacting on a human scale, he can become just over 1/2 Kilometer tall and weigh in at just under 27 Million Kilograms. At that point, use the table in the Ultimate Metamorph on p.21 to determine the absurdly disruptive effects of his presence.

 

In combat, Martin will use his Aikido. As Galaxy Man, he will generally start out fighting on a human scale before expanding to larger and larger sizes as he tries to subdue his foe.

 

Galaxy Man is capable of entering the Macroverse.

 

Campaign Use: Mostly a joke, but if you need a just-this-side-of-Galactus class hero or villain Galaxy Man could work for you.

 

Appearance: A Martin Fishbein, CPA, a large, handsome, well dressed black man with short black hair and brown eyes.

 

As Galaxy Man, a huge figure of absolute darkness filled with what appear to be distant stars and galaxies. No practical maximum size, but the largest he becomes before entering the Macroverse is just over half a kilometer tall.

yep--pretty detailed writeups. Nice work. I'll append the 15 or so writeups which have appeared here to my list and repost.

Galaxy Man reminds me of my original comedic writeup for Captain Galactic(k).

okay, here's a revised appended table, with the other posters' pcs listed in bold.

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

might try to extrapolate a few other fields for that chart:

Average OCV/Highest OCV

Average DCV/Highest DCV

Average attack damage/highest attack damage

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

Hero name. Imortal Urberguy

 

Concept. Big fat white guy was at his computer on Cornwall Ontario, when he read a Project 1000 thread on the hero games website forum. He worked on a character based on the sort of powers he would like to have. Sure enough when he was done, it came true, making himself the worlds first, and hopefully only superhero.

Stats, based on makeing everything except for speed at a legendary level, Can deadlift more then twice the current powerlifting champ at a 30 str, I assume similar for the other 30s

Enough resistant PD and ED to shurg off any body damage except from a good roll on a anti tank missle, or I assume a anti tank arty round.

Regen in case there is a good roll.

Danger sense so I can get out of dodge should some large object hit the earth, or should someone lob a nuke at me.

Teleport, to get out of dodge

Time travel, so when humanity dies out one way or another, I can start over again at say 4000 BC

PRE based skills reflecting a general smoothness as opposed to skill

Enough skills to allow fast learning of anything, assumeing in real life one can actually learn skills without going on adventures, as there is no GM

 

Achillies Heel. Built to avoid getting killed by normals, if there were supers, he would be dead. Not much ability in terms of attack, or other external powers.

Background/History: It was a glorious day to be one of the Lords of Hell. Summoned to Earth by the Covenant of Five, the Duke Avessh was laying waste to a human city. Sure, blue clad defenders had tried to stop him. But after slaying a few they retreated. Then came the more powerful, more colorful defenders. Avessh was little impressed. The mightiest of these only afforded him a few moments of sport before the had fallen. The female with the glowing silver aura would be a fine trophy. Things were going well indeed, until "It" showed up.

At first, it appeared to be no more than a metal clad "Superhero"; a being similar to the ones that Avessh had just vanquished. But as it came closer he could see the runes of power, invisible to the mortal eye, but all too visible to his own. He snarled and summoned his flames, a searing heat smashed into this new champion. The explosion dissipated and the golden warrior still hovered above him. Avessh roared.

 

"Anger will get you no where, Avessh."

 

The Demon Duke stopped and stared at the warrior with curiosity. How could this thing know his name? It was a golem of sorts, worn as armor around a mortal. He flew to destory it with his axe.

The Golden Warrior, as he referred to it, avoided his first slash and connected with a mighty blow of its own. Stronger than even the "Superhero" who had almost given him a challenge. Before he could act again a blinding, painful light errupted from the gauntlets of the Warrior. Avessh howled in pain. Then the Warrior struck him again. Avessh was no longer having a good day.

The battle between the monstrous Avessh and the golden clad Archon lasted a few more minutes before the armored hero managed to send the Duke back to it's realm. Then, as the police, emergency crews, and media began to encroach, the golden warrior flew into the sky and disappeared.

 

Personality/Motivation: Archon is deeply motivated to battle the supernatural. He is efficient and is seemingly without mercy. Cryptic comments have lead most to believe that he has lost family or friends to supernatural creatures. He also seems very protective of innocents in the area when he is confronting his query.

 

Quote: "The wrath of the Angel of Vengeance is upon you monster, feel the searing light of your doom."

 

Powers/Tactics: The Archon battle armor is seemingly technologically based, but those who have studied magic feel uneasy in its presence. It also is far more effective against the supernatural than other high tech combat armors.

 

Campaign Use: Grim, mysterious, and powerful; the Archon is an NPC that might aid the heroes against a powerful vampire or supernatural entity. However, if their powers are based on being supernatural beings, they might be confronted by him.

 

Appearance: The Archon battle suit is humanoid, about 6.5 feet tall,white, and has Metallic Gold trim. The helmet has communications gear that sticks up like little wings and when it flies, great "light wings" stretch out from its back. The whole thing is an angel motif.

To avoid taking up to much room here is a link to one of Metahumans Rising's most powerful villain who weighs in at 2400 points. The actual can be found at the third post.

Sweet Christmas! Most of the characters here are hundreds (or thousands in a couple of cases) of points past where I generally retire characters

 

Some cool characters, I'm just more comfortable on the low end of things. I actually run out of the things I want to get after about 400 points.

If it helps, don't think of them as characters. Think of them as Star Destroyers with opposable thumbs.

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

I have never tried to create a 1000 pointer. I think I will have to give it a shot. I only have two characters that could hit that point easily without concept bending. Hmmm...

[ghost-angel]

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

I like the challenge of keeping a character tightly focused at that point level. It's too easy to create a Swiss-Army-Knife on 1000 points.

 

I've got only one character that made it over 900 points during play before we retired the group. It was definitely an interesting campaign. Perhaps tomorrow I'll export that character and post them here.

[OddHat]

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

It's pretty easy to spend 1000+ points trying to exactly model a fictional character, especially characters from long running series. 100+ books can leave a character with a list of special abilities, valuable contacts and cool gadgets as long as your arm. I remember posting a version of Remo Williams once that clocked in at 1400+ points. A version done today after another dozen or so books would probably cost closer to 1600, even without the optional extras that got dropped over the years.

 

I rarely run NPCs built on anywhere near that number of points; it's not usually necessary to model the types of characters that show up in my games.

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

My character Robin Fletcher is a weapon master/gageteer with a mystical bent. I was pretty happy with his build at 350 pts, though there were a few corners that I needed to cut to make him fit. I played him until he was around 400 points... then we took a break from that game. I'm not sure if/when I will get back to playing him

 

However, on a whim I decided to bring him up to the level of such heroes as Hawkeye and Green Arrow. I wasn't at all surprised when he clocked in at over 1100 points, even though most people would balk at the idea that either of those character are that expensive

 

I should probably post him on this thread now that I think about it...

Some people would. On the other hand, both characters have been accumulating tricks, contacts, skills, martial arts, etc. for a very long time. 1100 points to cover everything is pretty conservative.

 

Of course, Comic Book authors have the luxury of keeping power levels in check through writer's fiat, PIS, or just forgetting huge chunks of character continuity; fanboys never forget.

Re: Project 1000: Build a Legend/Megahero

 

Some of it depends on the degree of granularity you like on the character sheet too. Do you think everything the character has done, every one they've met and befriends and every bit of equipment they've picked or happened to know should be represented even "normal" folks can get into high point totals. I've seen write ups for cab drivers and other normals that push the upper end of Heroic. If you assume somethings are just plot devices, stunts and dramatic license some characters come in cheaper.
