Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

That's okay. DO you have Hero Designer? Or do you mind if I enter this into HD and then prep it for posting on my website with the other characters?

 

No I don't have HD and no I don't mind if you add that character to you site, I wrote it up so people could see it, go ahead.

Background/History: Marcus was cursed long ago (how long nobody knows, maybe years, decades, maybe centuries) that “the work of his hand shall be shown in it”. Since he's prolific murderer his right hand is blood-red and perpetually sweaty, giving the appearance of being covered in blood constantly. He usually hides in it a coat pocket especially from strangers and people that haven't gotten used to the oddity.

 

Nobody knows exactly what he's after but he's been gathering an army of the dispossessed, disappointed, downtrodden and depressed. He uses the his money, influence, charm and manipulative skill to get them in, mostly recruiting from slums and dead end towns all over the country. Once he has them in his “Family” he keeps them isolated from their family and friends and they never come back to their home town. They are then attempt to infiltrate organizations, spy or otherwise serve his interests. Nobody knows what his plan is, he has one and it has cost the lives of dozens (hundreds? Thousands?) of his agents and their victims as well as provoking chaos and bloodshed for years (decades? centuries?). Wars have started, famines been prolonged and communities torn apart in his pursuit of his catastrophic plan. A legend has arisen that he himself did not formulate this plan, but that it was dictated to him by his own hand

 

I've run Marcus through Hero Designer and made all of the corrections I could. You left his SPD off, so I gave him a 4. Transform doesn't work the way you had it written up, so I only used what was allowed. I changed "KS: Persuasion" to just "Persuasion." In addition, you don't halve Disadvantages anymore... even if he has three of the same type.

Quote: Every summer when it rains, I smell the jungle, I hear the planes.

Powers/Tactics: Charlie falls squarely between "Skilled Normal" and "Competant Normal" but with a Heroic number of Complications. If you need him to be even more of a basket case, remove Combat Luck and Lightning Reflexes; If you need him to be more capable, consider Danger Sense and Luck (he has a knack for surviving dangerous situations - physically, at least) or skills related to whatever he did in the army (sniper? combat medic? demolitions?)

 

Campaign Use: The most obvious role for this character is as a DNPC - someone's old war buddy who gets in trouble.

 

Appearance: The song "Still in Saigon" is by Charlie Daniels (in whose honor I used the name Charlie for the nameless veteran in the song)

Description: “Speedball” is a long-haul trucker, driving loads of goods from one side of the country to the other. As time is money in his business, it’s in Speedball’s best interests to get his load delivered as soon as possible, so he can pick up his next one and get rolling. In order to deal with such inconveniences as sleep, he drinks black coffee and pops “West Coast turn-arounds,” better known as “uppers” (and so called as they allow one to drive from New York City to LA and back without stopping to sleep.) Of course, his driving habits have earned him a pretty poor rep among his fellow truckers, who call him the “Terror of the Highways” and figure its only a matter of time until he burns out and wrecks his rig.

 

Speedball Tucker comes from the song of the same name by Jim Croce. He’s based on Croce’s real-life experiences as a trucker, hauling rock and concrete pipe up and down parts of the East Coast. Introducing the song at a concert, he mentions truckers using West Coast turn-arounds to go 80-90 hours straight without sleep, talking to their windscreen the whole way. The broomstick is used to keep the throttle down (a primitive form of cruise control) with the side benefit of giving you another foot to dance with.

 

Speedball can be dropped into any number of genres. He could be a pulp-era long haul trucker (probably just a coffee addict), or a Dark Champions drug mule (perhaps unknowingly), or a Champions trucker just waiting for his origin story when he takes the wrong upper by mistake.

Background/History: The woman known as Brick House (legal name: Bea Ricki House) was the product of interservice rivalry; the Navy's attempt to create a super sailor program to compete with the Army's super soldiers. The full details of why the program was shut down and Brick House discharged from the Navy are not officially acknowledged, but it's rumored that she was both intimate and indiscreet with the male officers involved with the program. The whole world has heard of Brick House and the Commodores.

 

Personality/Motivation: She's a brick with an attitude. She can be slightly bimboish and/or lecherous but only in certain comic situation. After all it's Champions not Hentai RPG. She's to be a seductive tease to annoy gently.

 

Quote: Here's how the story goes...

(While Growing) Size does matter sometimes, boys....and I can't seem to find a man big enough to suit me.

Aww, don't you want to play rough with the big girls?

 

Powers/Tactics: For the most part, Brick House has the classic set of "Giant Brick" powers - strong, tough, and able to change size. A Brick Tricks Power Pool enables creative uses for these abilities.

 

Campaign Use: Brick House has a secret. There are several choices as to the nature of that secret. Ideally, the secret should come out slowly, or perhaps not at all unless the player characters take actions that may lead to its revelation. But it can remain something to keep in mind when playing the character, to keep sight of her motivations. 1. She is a virgin. She got caught up in a romantic triangle involving a couple of rear admirals that showed even worse judgment than she did in encouraging both of them, until their rivalry spun out of control and got them all courtmartialed. Stuck with the reputation of an irresponsible bimbo she's played up to it ever since, but is terrified of letting any man get emotionally close or physically intimate, lest her actual inexperience be revealed. She revels in being desired, but feels unable to gratify that desire. 2. She was originally very unattractive....and still is part of the time. The form people think of as her "normal" form is actually a lesser version of her giant size form, and it takes an effort of will to assume it. She does not change if knocked out but will slowly revert to her pre-superheroic self if she is asleep or unconscious for more than a couple of hours, retaining her brick level defenses but only having STR 8 and looking smaller and less interesting. There is no way to keep her, if awake, from regaining her full STR and Powers and appearance as a zero phase action. She feels a kind of contempt for the men who admire her now, because she thinks they would have no interest in what she still thinks of as her "real" self. 3. She's into girls. But she is NOT interested in feeding any man's fantasy about the subject, so if she has any lovers at all she is very discreet about it. The bimbo act is partly to conceal her real orientation. 4. She used to be a he. The real reason the program was disbanded was because of unpredictable side effects like that. He had never been successful with women and always envied the power attractive women seemed to have in their relationships. Much of her behavior is as it is because she is acting out a very young man's fantasies - both embodying his fantasy woman and fulfilling his fantasies of being a superhero. she's not about to get serious with a man because she's not comfortable with that idea at all...but anyone who gets into her bedroom will notice the abundance of mirrors, especially on the ceiling... 5. She assumes giant size if significantly aroused. She's not kidding about how hard it is to find a man big enough to satisfy her. Anyone who gets into her bedroom will notice the size of the bed. 6. Some combination of the above...

Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

Susano, if you have an interest in the character, please use this version:

 

Try it now

 

[ATTACH]37255[/ATTACH]

 

 

Here's the updated version.

 

And here are some notes.

 

I put a couple of character-defining powers in the VPP. These are both Naked Advantages on STR, which Hero Designer discourages me from putting in a Framework. If they bother you there, buy them seperately and make the Brick Trick Pool smaller.

 

I added an Accurate Leap because Opale requested it and the character seemed lacking in movement.

 

I also Limited the Running so that it's constant, rather than changing as size changes.

 

I gave this version a few points for a special Base.

 

I tend to overcomplicate characters. Most of you will have no problem, but for anyone new to the system who's puzzled at the several distinct purchases of STR:

 

Brick House may use up to 25 STR for no END cost whatsoever. I even decided to add a Naked Advantage to Running to make it 0 END too. Brick House can rock and roll all night without getting tired. She's a BRICK -

 

But that's not all, because she's mighty mighty; At 2 END per phase, Brick House may use up to STR 40. Still a bargain, and as I look the character over one last time I think I overspent on END and REC.

 

If she ain't holding nothin' back, then for 5 total END, Brick House may use up to 55 STR, but only for up to 3 full Turns before having to rest (or at least, dial back the STR until she can rest.)

 

Finally, if she uses Growth, the lady's stacked another 15 STR on top of any of the above totals.

Stand by, I'll validate it. Or try to.

Or I'll feed it to a palindromedary

Thanks.

 

It looks like we're going to scrap moving my site to Wordpress (various reasons) which means I'll get back to expanding and updating it.

The palindromedary wryly comments that I need validation as much as my attachments

Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

Ah it works there !

Thank you Lucius *and tosses a sugar at the palindromedary*

 

I'm sure I'll like it, and study it a bit

Btw, does your Palindromedary and all of you like the Caravan song of Shaï no Shaï ?

You don't happen to have the lyrics do you?

The palindromedary likes the name Shai no Shai

Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

Alas no, and can't find them on google either :/

But really listen the song, it's a good one

maybe it will make the palindromedary sing.

Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

I just had a silly idea. I love been silly sometimes...

 

What about building the character sheet of the palimdromedary himself ?

Woot !

There is the song inspiring it Enjoy

 

Awesome idea. Great song too! Many thanks for posting that. I've been searching for the lyrics as well, but with no success at all. But I did manage to find the lyrics for another Palindromedary song, which might inspire a completely different character sheet:

 

Southern Culture On the Skids, Walk Like a Camel

 

 

Baby, Would you eat that there snack cracker

In your special outfit for me, please?

owwwWEEEEE!!!!!

 

Yo ye pharoahs, let us walk

Through this barren desert, in search of truth

And some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers.

OWWWW WEEE baby, you make me wanna walk like a camel.

OWWWW WEEE, walk!

 

Who's in charge here, where's my Captain's wafers?

Don't go around hungry now, the way you eat that oatmeal pie,

Makes me just wanna die, baby, OWWWW

You make me wanna walk like a camel.

OWWWW WEEE, walk!

 

Say, you don't think there's any way I could get that quarter

From underneath your pointy boot, do ya?

All I want is just one more oatmeal pie.

OWWWW WEEE, Little Debbie, Little Debbie

I'm a comin on home, baby, 'cause you make me wanna walk

Like a camel, OWWWW WEEE

 

 

How does one tell if the Palindromedary walks backwards?

Re: Susano's Song-Based DC NPCs

 

Here's a couple of ideas for some song-based DC NPCs:

 

Space Monkey Mafia: From the Billy Joel song "We Didn't Start The Fire"; and yes, I

know that the line in the song is referring to two different things, but they go togeth-

er in a weird sort of way, especially if it's for a DC/SH campaign.

 

Der Metzgermeister (The Master Butcher): From the Rammstein song "Mein Teil"; if

you go to YouTube and check out the video from the Volkerball concert in Nimes,

France, then take a look at the music video that has the English and German lyrics

to the song, you'll have an idea of what sort of character this is.
