Re: Char: Blackcat (with art) 2000th Post

Well' date=' this post in my number 2000. I decided in my rush of posting characters recently to save Cat for that occasion. So here she is in all her glory. Founding member of the Team Tempest, Team trainer and tactician for Watchtower the Worlds Most Powerful Superteam, friend of the Mayor of Byzantium, Agent of the Pentarchy, and all around really nice person, who kicks a lot of patootie.... iiiit'ss Blaaackcaaaa-aat: [b']Background: [/b]Sonia grew up on the other side of a duplex with a Chinese family. The two fathers were friends for years. Her father's friend was into martial arts, and Sonia got a little early tutoring. She and the boy next door grew up together, and were going to marry at 20, but he died as a bystander in a super fight involving a "racial purity" supervillian. The first appearance of her powers happened when she was 15. They were weak and intermittent for years. She trained them to potency. . She had been planning to become a Superhero when She had control of her powers, and they were strong enough to compete, and was ready to take advantage of the situation when it occurred. In school Sonia studied literature. She became fascinated by the exploits of great tacticians; Alexander, Caesar, and others. She started using the tactics described in these books, modified for single or small groups in her martial training. In college she got her degree in Byzantine history, and her Masters Degree in comparative literature: comparing European and Asian tactical studies, primarily Caesar, Napoleon, Sun-tsu, and Musashi. Her martial arts style is an amalgam of many different styles and techniques. She has studied Kung Fu, Karate, Aikido, Judo and others. Her first exposure to martial arts (her childhood friends) was Shao Lin Tiger style. She named her combination style and her school Crimson Tiger. She is always studying different martial arts to improve her own style. Sonia's style is difficult to recognize (hence no style disad), something she consciously enhances while in superhero mode, to avoid being recognized. Her career as a super hero went well, with the team Tempest. She actively contributed to the teams performance and fairly consistently harped on them to improve their tactics. She lived the "normal" super hero life until something very strange happened. A time traveler from the future came back in time and tried to kill Kid Thunder (one of her teammates) and then her. She stopped him and he spun a tale of a bleak future that all came about because of a war. This war started because of the deaths of Tempest in the very near future. He took them to his time to see what it was like. When they returned, the team worked hard to make sure it never came about. The fight in which everyone died, Black Cat took a shot targeted for Thunder, and died. In a rather involved quest to save the girl Friday of a mage friend of theirs, the team recovered Sonia?s soul, and brought her back from the dead. The only trouble was it wasn't completely her, or rather she was there but so was something else. It turns out her powers drew on extradimensional forces and there were intelligences there. When she came back, so did one of them (well sort of, more of a alteration to her, than a separate entity, an alteration that resided in her powers.) It kept her physical capacity, without the powers, very low, and kept her from healing or progressing in her therapy. It began to effect her personality, she became very easily angered and very prone to violence. This tendency became very apparent in her capture by Genocide. This kept escalating until she snapped, after killing The leader of a Nazi supervillian team. In the arguments that followed, she got the team into the danger room, with a specially prepared program. She fought and won against her teammates, going so far as to almost kill Oracles. She then went after a local industrialist. When she snapped the team had to stop her. The only way to do this was to de-power her. The means to do this was in the hands of the industrialist that Cat had gone after. When she was depowered, she snapped back to reality, and realized what had happened. She turned herself in, and was jailed. During this period, in about two weeks time, all of her physical skills returned, as well as the improvement she would have received had she not been being restrained. During her incarceration, with very little time for much else, she thought and meditated, and came to a "physical revelation". She leaped over the individual styles and moves of the different martial arts, and became an artist, able to create as she fought. She also came to a much greater understanding of self. She lost much of her anger and insecurities. While in stronghold, she became fast friends(and more) with Chuck. There was also a number of assassination attempts by Black Saphire, one of which was a Martial Artist. It was in this fight that she came to her understanding. Prof Muerte, for reasons known only to himself, built a very nasty laser sattilite. He used it, after a threat to nail LA, on Stonghold. Those people in stonghold who used thier abilities to keep everyone else in were pardoned. Once she was out, she returned to her superhero career. Her head student in her school secretly started a "superteam" the White Tigers after her secret ID became public during the trial, and she started watching out for them. She spent another year being a normal superhero, and then got invited to the Dragon Tournement. She won. After that, she and Gibralter moved from Earth to Byzantium. Cat spent two years in this extradimensional city, where all roads led to Byzantium, and a special operative of the leader of the city, Owen. She ended up distingiushing herself in the BSU (Byzantine special units). After the end of her enlistment, she took time off, with the intent of going back to Earth and taking up superheroing again. She helpd formed the team Watchtower, and after the first mission took down Dr Destroyer, and then weathering some major press flak because of how it happened, she found it pale - that it felt like a step back. So she spent about six months training the newer supers and helping get the team set up, when fate intervened, and she ended up getting recruited by the Pentarchy a multidimensional police force and military as a special agent. She is tasked with going through times and different dimensions and fixing whatever problem it is that the Pentarchy see there. Personality: After all that she had been through, Sonia has a very even keel. She is a relaxed easy going individual, in normal situations. Get her in her element (combat) she is very intense and very perfectionistic. She is searching, in a sense for "the perfect tactic". She doesn't figure that she will find it, but it keeps her on track. Very little makes her lose her emotional balance. The only things that make her see red are racism and abuse of the innocent. Her honor system is very Asian. Her life outlook is very Western. It makes for an interesting mix . Quote:"I think you may have underestimated me." Powers/Tactics: Her powers are that of a "superhumanly" trained individual. She has no direct superpowers. She can do most of the things attributed to masters of Ch'i and other Asian mystics. Her defenses are almost as strong as they were with her Darkforce. Her offensive capabilities are phenomenal, in the upper ranges of paranormal speed and damage. She also has the capacity to "mimic" any martial arts style in existence; in reality she can do almost any specific technique, and uses her flexibility to confuse opposition who rely on understanding fighting styles. She believes in fast and furious. Hit them hard and quick until they fall. Her own personal tactics depend on her opponent. She blends her style to be the most effective against the way they fight. In group tactics she is very aware of movement. In most of her studies, the army lost a battle, not because of inferior fighting ability, but by loss of mobility. She also thinks that using teamwork, two or more members doing something together to increase overall effectiveness. She is also a strong believer in reconnaissance and information. She has been studying supers since youth. She has a complete run of Superhype. She feels that good information, planning, preparation and practice is the key to winning; not just duking it out and hoping you win. Campaign Use: As a PC :-) But otherwise-Black Cat is the quintessential fighting martial artist. She has no stealth or intrusion skills, but can fight and beat just about anyone. She has gone beyond the need for syles and practices perfect improvisations combat. She could be used as a teacher for a martial artist hero, or as a trainer for a superteam. Her focus on tactics and method, and her extreme physical training would drive most superteams to the limit. Appearance: Sonia is a lithe, well built woman. Caucasian, with curly dark brown hair, and penetrating ice blue eyes. She moves very gracefully, and shines with an inner light. She radiates an aura of peace and power. Her costume is a modified black gi/bodysuit, with red and green color strips for color, and silver highlights, she wears `slippers' for footwear, made of the same material as her suit, but with increadibly hard soles.

Pariah has done a couple of 'Cat pictures with the DC animated hero machine thing - one old style, one new. Here they are:

Re: Char: Blackcat (with art) 2000th Post

 

I was never entirely satisfied with the first picture. Sure, it was a nice image, but it never really felt like Black Cat.

 

The second pic feels like Black Cat to me.

She is. I started he in one Champions game that went kaput, then I ran her with Pariah GMing her for a decade or so. He was planning on taking her (and the other really powerful members on the team) interdimensional... then half the group moved away and that campaign folded. The wife runs her in an interdimensional game right now.

 

It's fun having a character grow for so long.

Re: Char: Blackcat (with art) 2000th Post

 

Thank You for posting the character, her history, and the illustrations.

 

Regrettably, I must spread around the Reputation. So instead, for Blackcat, here is a black kitten--

 

 

Looks to be ready for action, so if Blackcat ever needs a partner, there's one available.

Now if we just had a picture of a black kitten with a pancake on its head, that would be perfect!

And Poison's Artwork. Cool stuff.

Re: Char: Blackcat (with art) 2000th Post

 

I was curious if you have her original sheet when you first started playing? Did she have a VPP or even a Multipower, or was she straight Maneuvers?

I have it buried somewhere. She started with a high Dex and speed (26/6 IIRC) martial arts manuevers and an EC and Mult-ipower for Darkforce (back when she had powers). Between personal D, FF from the darkforce and other stuff she had a really high defense.

 

As time went on I added a small multipower of small martial arts strikes. After a number of years I got tired of the darkforce side, and talked to the GM (Pariah) and had her de-powered and go to straight martial arts - that was when her special strikes multipower went into full effect. The pool came after, when I had so many slots in the MP that it was cheaper to do the VPP.

Posion's art is great

I agree completely. I had the image idea, and he brought it to life. And his take on her costume is really cool.
