Eek!

I don't know that much....

I'm sure you could make a template that would include the custom disad; however I am not a pro at making custom templates.

That said, what I would do, is make the disad part of a prefab or package deal that you can add to any character you make. Or, make a character that has all the standard options for your game world and save as template.

 

OR

 

If you make it a prefab, you can then make a package deal for the world in question and have the package deal pre load all the prefabs you want when you add it to a character.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository

 

Oh, another thing about the Asgardians; how many "ProtoGod" powers should I give them?

 

Looking at my Olympians and the one God created for the CU, there are some salient abilities that I could give to each God: Mental communication with pantheon and followers, dimensional aportation, shape shifting, etc. Part of me says that the "Wizards" of the Asgardians (Odin, Loki, etc) would have then but Thor and Heimdal didn't seem to. IIRC Heimdal had a horn he used to alert the others if Bifrost was being attacked, so no immediate communication there.

 

I tend to see the Asgardians, in games and comics anyway, as a race of magically oriented Bricks with access to nice toys. But perhaps that's too Marvel of an option.

 

Ah ponder ponder ponder.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository

 

Odin and Loki had full access to shape shifting, divination, and other "feminine" magic, in Odin's case possibly taught to him by Freyja. It made them less manly and less trustworthy by Norse standards. In the folk tales these powers tended to come and go according to the needs of the story. Freyja had access to serious mojo and extra tools to use it even more effectively (cloak for changing into birds eventually stolen by Loki, necklace that made her irresistible); thinking of her as just the Norse Aphrodite is a mistake, magic is also in her portfolio. I can't think of many Thor folk tales where he's much more than a big, strong, not very bright guy with a major load of magical gear and goats.

Yeah, that's the direction I'm looking in too.

 

for Else Earth (right or wrong), I'm looking at my various Pantheonic Superteams as:

 

Olympians: Everyone has access to serious personal magic.

 

Asgardians: In Else Earth, Ragnarok occured. The majority of familiar Norse Deities are gone. Asgardians on the whole are Superhuman Physical Specimens with really neat gear. There are Magicians with vast magical powers but they are not the norm. Some odd powers will occur based on the individuals portfolio (they are powerful magical entities after all) but VPP's will be limited to the "Mages".

 

Egyptians: Again, more like their Olympic counterparts, carry great individual power within them. Unlike the preceding divine groups, the Masters of Heliopolis are going to be far more direct in their involvement with their former stomping grounds.

 

I'll be probably using other cultures divine beings of times gone by as well. Just haven't formalized (or even informalized any plans yet)

It might be worth going the Marvel Earth X "All Gods are actually insane shape shifting aliens" route, or similar common origin. From a real world anthropology point of view, you actually do find pretty remarkable similarities in all the pantheons right down to actual powers displayed. Much of that is proto Indo-European shared culture and cultural exchange, but a part of it is probably that there are only so many ways to conceptualize the supernatural. The biggest breaks come with isolated cultures versus cultures with trade links, and pre-urban and post-urban societies; the myths of the Australian Aborigines aren't at all like the Hindu/Chinese/Japanese family of myths, but there are some similarities with what I was able to find of Ainu and some Native American folk tales.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository

 

I'm going more towards Albert Dechsene's "All Gods are Entities of pure magical energy given form by their worshipers". Once formed they are independent beings, beholden to none, but they still fall into their pre-defined caste. Ares has matured and become more of a strategist instead of a "Hollar Back Spartan!" slaughter house worker, but he's still not the Strategist Athena is, and he still wants to be in the thick of conflict.

Background/History: Deidre Fergesun is the dauighter of industrialist Jacob Fergrusen. Growing up, she always got the best of everything; growing into a spoiled brat. It didn' thelp things that she was superhumanly strong and physically bullied everyone in her life. When she arrived at St. Mary's Academy, she was well on her way to supervillainy. However, she also found for the first time people who were not impressed with her strength. Her freshman year she found herself drawn to a group of rich, pretty girls who also had superpowers. Even more shocking was an adult who would serve as her mentor on her way to being a criminal. The head of the school was a woman of dark power who gathered her special charges into the Clique.

Taking the name Princess Pain, Deidre now only waits to graduate to true super villain.

 

Personality/Motivation: Deidre is a bully and a spoiled rich kid. She talks a big game but she's actually one of the kinder girls in the Clique. She's not above shows of strength to get her way, but she doesn't get a thrill causing harm to helpless people and animals.

Superbeings on the other hand, are favorite targets. If she can get in a row with a big, lumbering, super strong hero or heroine, she practically weeps with joy.

 

Quote: "We can do this my way or my way and you get hurt, your choice."

 

Powers/Tactics: A fairly straight up brick with better overall athleticism. At the rate she's going, Deidre will be a frightfully strong woman when she matures. She basically leaps around the battle field, smacking people with her fists or with heavy objects.

 

Campaign Use: The Clique are a team of super powered schoolgirls who are a good match for starting supers (350), they can easily be used in a "Teen Hero" setting, but you might want to lower their power in that case.

 

To better fit her into the lower powered campaigns, drop her STR to 45, DEX 21, CON 23, PD 20, ED 20, SPD 4. Adjust the other figured characteristics to fit their new primary.

 

To make her more powerful (and to do this just have the girls grow up a little) increase Stats to taste. Perhaps a brick trick or two.

 

Appearance: A Pixie-ish young teenager with long blond hair in modern styles, blue eyes and a physique that belies her power. She wears her St. Mary's school uniform when at school and the Clique's uniform when having fun.

 

The Clique uniform is a more scandalous version of a school girl uniform with a short skirt, blouse with short sleeves, and tied above the belly. The skirt is black with white trim and the blouse is white. They wear short jackets (with the sleeves rolled) that are black with "The Clique" embroidered on the back in their favorite color. Princess Pain's is pink. She wears a pink mask, and her hair in pig tails.

Background/History: Alicia Harper grew up idolizing her older brother. He was seven years older and had always been there for her. When their parents split up she stayed with him while deciding where to go. When he became REGIMENT he naturally told her. She was always so proud of his super heroic career. When The Minute Men Squadron exploded and half the team died in Adamant's traitorous attack, Alicia was devastated. Not only had Kyle been among the casualties, there were several reports that he'd been on Adamant's side the entire time, suffering his fate when the villain no longer required his services.

 

When Adamant was finally brought down, the heroes who had risen to defeat him decided to recreate the Minute Man team. Shortly after this Alicia Harper approached the new Minute Men and requested that she be able to follow in Kyle's footsteps. After much debate she was accepted and began training and fitting for a second REGIMENT battle suit (dubbed STEALTH). She has served as a member of the team since.

 

Personality/Motivation: Alicia joined originally to find out the truth about her brother. Satisfied with what she found out, she stepped up to honor his memory. She's generally looked upon as everyone's baby sister, even though she's in her mid twenties.

 

Quote: 'Let's Fly!"

 

Powers/Tactics: The original REGIMENT suit was built like a tank. Though it could fly it was basically a tank. When the second was commissioned, the Air Force wanted input. What emerged was a smaller, sleeker, faster armor made for flying. An expanded weapons array (including many more non-lethal options) and much greater maneuverability were traded in for overall armor and physical strength.

 

Campaign Use: A legacy powered armor character. Alicia is more of a techie than her brother was an she helps maintain and upgrade the suit.

 

Appearance: Alicia Harper is a cute, spunky, brunette with brown eyes. She works out a lot and is great shape but not "costumed crime fighter" shape (though she's working on it).

 

The STEALTH suit is black and gunmetal gray. Sleeker, obviously feminine, and has two large wings on the back. Though not an member (active or otherwise) of the Air Force like her brother was, the USAF considers her one of their own. So, like her brother's armor, there are Air Force markings on the wings and over the heart of her armor.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository

 

I've been reading, but don't have a ton to say.

 

I like the Clique, and could definitely use it in a Sky High / Teen Titans type of game, or my old New Hope Academy vs Invictus Academy campaign if I ever went back to it. Kind of neutral on the powered armor girl, but that's just a preferences thing rather than any major flaw in the write up.

Re: Enforcer84's Occasional HERO Content Depository

 

Right now, I am going through my bulk of original character, separating the CU from Else Earth, rewriting to adjust, and then sneaking some of the posts in here, some I'm waiting. If I ever try to publish (the Gamer's Dream) my world, I'm trying to make it more my own. I mean we basically used the 4th Ed CU for our games in high school, then I was heavily porting everything to 5th ed CU, and now I want it to be my own world. So it's going to be a long slog. I mean some changes are as easy as changing the names but others will be tougher.

 

oh, and the fact that I keep changing my mind about things. And I am my own personal point total drift device, I'm always making my characters more and more expensive.

Background/History: A fey born of unusual size and strength (for his people), took the name Puck and began his career as a "Warrior" eschewing much of the traditional fey magics for physical might. The Luck of Hero's protects this one. After wandering the Lands of Fey, smacking things with is weapons and his fists, he was chased to the Earth Realm by an angry (and powerful) redcap named Bullark. He appeared in Ireland and spent some time in Dublin and Belfast before hopping a boat and making his way to the Americas. It was during a stay in Brazil that he found his martial calling. He'd seen a demonstration by a local Capoeira school and immediately fell in love with the art. He worked as a cook and cleaner at the school for almost six years, learning the art and some of the music. When he was done, he continued his wandering.

 

Now, Puck the Warrior, is a somewhat known champion of the little guy, getting into and out of trouble with the help (often unintentionally) of other heroes, and the occasional costumed outlaw.

 

Personality/Motivation: Puck the Warrior is a diminutive fey who inexplicably found his calling as a brawling practitioner of an (near) eastern martial arts philosophy. To this end, he wanders the Earth Realm seeking to aid the meek and humiliate the strong. He is not terribly particular as to which side of the law the meek and the strong are either.

 

He's a sucker for a pretty woman, and will often find himself fighting for a lady's honor. At the end of the day, though, he's a friendly chap and definitely holds few grudges.

 

Quote: "Okay, then, you and me. One on one."

 

Powers/Tactics: Think Marvel's Puck and Longshot blended together with a classical fey faerie. Puck's success is as much due to his phenomenal fortune as it is his superhuman agility and wild fighting style.

 

Campaign Use: An amusing, and unusual ally and or foe for heroes to face. Puck champions a number of causes and individuals, he's a sucker for a sob story or a pretty lady. He rarely holds grudges against those who best him, saving his anger for those who abuse the weak.

 

Appearance: Puck is actually something of a giant among his people, he stands just under 5 feet tall and weighs a whopping 150 lbs. He's got long red hair, that seems to be constantly blowing in some sort of ethereal wind. He wears a neatly trimmed beard and has sparkling green eyes. His build is thick and muscular. He has a rather pale complexion and lacks any sort of body hair.

 

His favorite outfit is a black muscle shirt, with red Celtic designs and no sleeves, and a set of billowy red pants with black sandals. He wears a bright red sash at his waist and red fingerless gloves. When expecting trouble he wears a green headband.

Background/History: Orphaned and on her own, Seela Armstrong knew nothing of her past. She ran in a gang and was on the fast track for a short life. Shortly after she turned 13, however, two events reshaped her life. The first was the unintended consequence of trying to steal something to read. Seela, who quit going to school when she was 10, saw a book while she and her gang were casing a used bookstore that opened in their neighborhood.

 

Though it seemed easy pickings, the store's owner, an old Chinese woman with a loud voice and suspicious nature, constantly hounded the youngsters in her store. Finally, one of the older boys had enough and told the woman to back off; then, pulling his gun, demanded that she give them what ever she had in the register. He'd barely gotten the threat out, when the woman, seemingly appeared next to him out of nowhere, took the gun and knocked him to his butt. Then, for good measure, she struck two more of the boys, sending the sprawling.

The gang panicked and ran from the store. Seela tried to take the book. She was caught.

"You are a little girl. Why do you hang out with old boys like that?" The old woman demanded. Seela tried to act tough but the woman frightened her.

"You, clean up the mess they made." The old woman said and she went back to her spot by the register, watching Seela as she cleaned. When she finished, Seela looked to the woman who nodded at her.

"Now, you look starved, come eat. You can go later."

Seela never left. The old woman gave her a job and a place to stay and Seela never saw the gang again.

 

The second event occurred when Seela and Mrs. Li went to a spring market/carnival nearby. Seela, on a lark went to talk to Aurora Rosebloom, a gypsy psychic/fortuneteller. The woman was almost comical as she postured and fussed, trying to be mysterious. Seela decided to stay for a seance and asked to contact someone from her family that might help her find out who she was. The psychic was outwardly sympthetic but inwardly pleased that the girl had no knowledge to use against her. She prepared for a grand show.

And then one of Seela's ancestors answered the summons. Aurora Rosebloom almost wet herself. She did faint. A woman, dressed in skins and primitive jewelry floated above the table, translucent and awesome in her intensity and beauty.

 

"Greetings little one. I have been waiting to speak to you."

 

Seela squeaked, but could not move. She just stared.

When she left the tent, her ancestor left with her. Not just one, either.

 

Mrs. Li was waiting, for her, "You look like you've seen a ghost."

 

It's been two years since. Seela is growing into a graceful young woman. Her ancestors have taught her much about her history, where she's from and what happened to her parents. They've also been training her to use her strange necromantic powers to aid the world around her. Telling her that someday she will face the evil that her parents succumbed to.

 

She has never seen her parents' spirits. Whether that means they are alive or that their spirits have been devoured or are imprisoned is one of the mysteries she hopes to solve

 

Personality/Motivation: Heiress considers herself a White Necromancer. Her control over the life forces or herself and others as well as her affinity with spirits is natural and untrained. Living with Mrs. Li has helped her gain self respect and a sense of purpose and home. She knows that she's quite powerful for a 15 year old and uses her abilities to help others. She realizes that she's now something of a weirdness magnet and tries to take it all in stride.

 

Quote: "My Great Grandmother hits harder than that!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Untrained in magic, Heiress is never the less a powerful magician. She can project her own life-force as an attack, or heal other with it. She can summon her spirit to grasp objects at a distance, communicate with someone (she has to have physical contact for this) as well as control another person by overriding their mind with hers. She can also use other's life-forces to heal herself, a tactic she won't use unless enraged. Additionally, she can summon the spirits of her ancestors and used them to protect herself, fly, and appear as an older version of herself (to protect her identity).

 

Campaign Use: Neophyte heroine.

For a weaker version, make her abilities a multipower, and lower her physical attributes.

 

For a more mature version, have the protective forces in her life train her. From the Order of Nimue, she can study magic and gain knowledge about the arcane. From Mrs. Li she can study Martial Arts (Tai Ch'i Chuan) and learn eastern lore and healing. From her ancestors she can become stronger and learn more of their fighting styles. She should also develop the ability to talk to spirits, summon them to her, as well as Anti-Undead combat abilities/techniques.

 

Appearance: Tall and willowy teenager. Very pretty and possessing a powerful presence when she's not trying to be unnoticed. She is of mixed heritage, African and French mostly. She has dark skin, lighter brown hair that's long and straight. She dresses in dated fashions that she can get cheaply.

 

When she's acted as "Heiress" publicly (only twice so far): She's appeared as an older version of herself dressed in gold and white versions of Aurora Rosebloom's "side show gypsy" out fit. A long skirt, revealing bodice, a corset, and hair band. Lots of gold jewelry.

Background/History: The son of doctors, Derrick Howard was proud to follow in his parents footsteps. So intent was he that when he developed superhuman powers in his teens, he ignored them. It was during his residency that he met Amelia Hammersmith and she convinced him to do something with his powers. Taking the name Bastion, Derrick reluctantly entered the superhero scene. To his surprise it has been a very rewarding experience.

 

Personality/Motivation: Derrick is a healer first, a protector second, and a crime fighter third. His first priority is aiding the wounded. He's becoming more comfortable as a hero, and has found to his surprise that medical doctors are quite welcome in the ranks (he thought there were more of them). Another positive side effect of his chosen profession, he's at the cutting edge of alien and superhuman physiological studies.

 

Quote: "Get those civilians to safety! I'll protect you!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Aside from his physical enhancements, Bastion has the ability to summon a blue white, translucent energy field that provides protection to himself and others. In addition; although he is affected somewhat by damage done to his field, it converts the energies used against it to physical durability and strength.

 

In lieu of his "Bulwark", he can summon a personal field that is effortless to maintain and quite durable. He also has fine kinetic energy control, and can absorb knockback, enhance his strength to superhuman levels, and disperse energy attacks so that their effect is lessened.

 

Derrick is a gifted hand to hand fighter, he uses his strength to much greater effect in combat than his lifting capacity would indicate.

 

Campaign Use: A powerful defensive fighter. Bastion can work as a support NPC for a shorthanded PC team. For lower powered games, drop his Bulwark's defenses. To increase his effectiveness, increase his physical attributes or his Kinetic Buildup. Brick tricks might be appropriate to make him more versatile. Levels and DC's with his martial arts will work too.

 

Appearance: Tall and very muscular, Bastion cuts an impressive figure. His costume is red over gray with black belt, boots, gloves, and a black castle on his chest. He wears a black mask. His boots and gloves have red bands on the ends.

Background/History: Bellanca Cronides, AKA Discord, claims to be the daughter of the Greek God of War, Ares. He has not been reached for comment on the matter. She claims to be over 100 years old, and records indicate this is the truth. She's been a mercenary supervillain for a few decades, operated in Africa during WWII on the side of the Allies. She has a criminal record, though is currently not under warrant.

 

Personality/Motivation: A self-assured woman, Discord is a mercenary but not overly greedy. She likes to live the high life, and she enjoys using her powers. She definitely plays the "Bad Girl" role, is somewhat vampish, and has some masochism issues.

 

Though intelligent and analytical, she is also controlling and can fly into a rage if her plans are undone, particularly by serendipity. She sees most other superhumanly strong women as "sisters" and seeks to get along with them. She takes rejection in this matter badly, however and super-strong female who rejects her friendship will become a rival.

 

She tends to like intelligent men and warriors, even better when they're both.

 

Quote: "This looks like a great place for a riot!"

"Oh! That was a nice punch! My turn, handsome!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Discord is a potent fighter, having spent decades mastering her brick fighting style. She is an effective grappler and close quarters fighter. Though she is trained in the use of many kinds of weapons, she prefers not to use them. In addition to her Strength, training, and durability, she is a powerful, if limited, mentalist. She is capable of projecting areas of empathic energy, basically inciting erratic negative behavior in groups. She does this often to cover her escape, or to set up a distraction. In addition, she is very resistant to mental attacks.

 

Campaign Use: Super mercenary. She can work both sides of the fence, but she is generally an antagonist.

 

Appearance: Tall and muscular, Discord is a striking woman with Mediterranean features, black hair, green eyes and a tanned complexion. She tends to dress in flashy, often revealing clothing. Her current, "work clothes" consist of an armored version of a fetish suit she saw online.

Background/History: Dr.Flag was working on a top secret Dimensional Displacement Weapon for the army. Well he was on the medical team assigned to the project. Fascinated with the concept, he studied it when he could. When the base cat, Fluffernutter, ran into the testing area, Fred didnt' even think, he just ran to nab the errant kitty. Flag rescued the cat, but was hit by the temporal rift created by the weapon.

 

The energies of the rift transformed him from a somewhat skinny medical professional to the gigantic man mountain he is today. Originally dubbing himself the Washington Monument, Fred moved to, and started his super-heroic career, in Washington DC. After a few months of relatively gentle criticism over his gray costume and name, he dropped "Washington" and adopted a more conventional patriotic uniform. Monument was a founder of the Science League and served throughout its existence. And since their heroic sacrifice in the Second Invasion, no one has found it nearly as much fun to make fun of their name.

 

Personality/Motivation: Fred was a noble, patriotic, and prototypical science hero. With his like-minded companions Monument protected America and the world from evil while exploring the unknown and cataloging the Amazing.

 

Fred never lost his sense of exploration, and seeing all the universe had to offer him was his life's dream. Unlike many 'science' heroes, he had no problem accepting magic. In fact, he found it fascinating and sought to quantify and and understand it. It didn't hurt that he fell in love with the Shadow Queen and spent the last decade of his life with her.

 

He generally was the SLA's spokesman and leader/father figure.

 

Quote: "Yes, I'm well aware of how phallic my last costume was, thank you SO much forreminding me!"

"For America! For Justice! For Science!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Monument is a straight forward brick. He lacks variety and finesse, but he makes up for it in tough and earnestness.

 

Campaign Use: The Science League of America is no more. Founded in the late 1960's they died in the early 80's. If you want to use them in their hayday, the Science League was a prototypical "Family" style superteam, while not literally related, the membership was constant, they all had a similar outlook and intergroup dynamics were always underscored with a mutual respect and genuine affection.

 

The SLA had a modest rogues gallery, mostly consisting of mad scientists, conquerors from other worlds, dimensions, or lost civilizations. And Artifex who had just shed his Dr. Helix the Axis Mastermind trappings to be his own man.

 

Appearance: Dr. Fred Flag, aka Monument, was a giant of a man, 9' tall and almost 900lbs of lean muscle. He had broad shoulders and neatly trimmed hair. He was ruggedly handsome and very engaging. His costume consisted of a white body suit with blue shoulders and vertical red stripes on his abdomen. He wore blue gloves, a black belt, black boots, red trunks, and his sleeves and legs were white. There was a single white star each shoulder. After the sniggering over his last chest emblem, he decided not to use one again.

Background/History: TV weatherman Scott Storm's life was changed when a boat trip through the Bermuda Triangle left him with the ability to fire a powerful energy beam from his eyes. Taking the unoriginal name of Eyebeam he started his superheroic career in Florida. In 1972 he was offered membership to the Science League of America, when his knowledge of meteorology actually came in handy.

 

Eyebeam took to the team like a fish to water. He discovered a love of obscure sciences and that he was a talented pilot. Considered by the others the heart of team, Eyebeam also tended to be the team's "spotlight king."

 

Personality/Motivation: In the beginning, being a superhero was about getting his picture in the papers and scoring with the ladies. It was only after a few years of acting as Eyebeam that Scott started to feel some sort of responsibility towards those who couldn't protect themselves.

 

He came across a something of a phony, but Eyebeam was a surprisingly sentimental and supportive teammate. His good-natured flirtation with any female supherhero (and a few villains) and love of the spotlight got more notice and more press than his later dedication to civic responsibility.

 

Quote: "Beware the Eyes of the Storm."

"You make that outfit work, Amazonia."

 

Powers/Tactics: Initially seen as somewhat limited in his power scope, Eyebeam's powers continued to grow over his career, as did his skill and creativity in their use. Being relatively normal beyond his energy control and superhuman constitution, Eyebeam tended to stay back in combat, picking his shots or trading with other energy blasters. Bullets and fists were his bane.

 

Campaign Use: 70's ladies man hero, but good-natured and a gentleman about it.

 

Appearance: Eyebeam was a thin man with a trim, healty build. He had red hair and his transformation turned his blue eyes a pulsing violet. He wore sunglasses and later colored contacts in public.

 

His costume was a two toned blue with white inner sleeves and a flared collar.
