Background/History: When Kaspian was 7yrs old he watched the media coverage of the “Battle of Detroit”. In the days and weeks that followed he watched the as events unfolded and the world learned that UNTIL had was ready and equipped to help deal with Doctor Destroyer and his minions, but the US denied them entry. In the media storm that followed it was revealed the final body count was over 60,000 civilians and nearly 50 superhero fatalities.

 

Shortly afterwards the US signed the treaty allowing UNTIL to deploy on US territory. Those events shaped a young boy’s dreams. He convinced his parents to let him study Martial Arts.

 

Kaspian matured quickly and graduated from high school with honours and was accepted a scholarship to Simon Frasier University. He enrolled in Criminology and Kinesiology as a double major. On Kaspian’s 21st birthday he wrote his applied for a position with UNTIL as a Defender Agent.

 

But the Fates had other plans. Kaspian was attending a benefit concert by the superstar superhero “Sapphire” of the Champions. Mid way through her send song Minute Man VII robots burst through the back of the concert hall and attacked her. The crowd panicked and stampeded for the exits Kaspian tried save a young woman knocked down by the mob. Under the stress his mutant powers manifested allowed him to save her and many others.

 

Kaspian did not have time to be surprised, but with the mob out of the way one of the Minute Man VII robots sensors detected him and attacked. His mutant powers changed to protect him. They changed their attacks and Kaspian instinctively changed his powers to protect himself and protect innocents from getting caught in the cross fire.

 

The battle seemed to last for hours. Finally he began to notice men with high tech weapons, armour, and equipment. UNTIL’s Defenders and the RCMP’s SERTs had arrived. After that the battle ended rather quickly.

 

When he looked up from his last opponent the battle was over. The fire department and paramedics arrived to take care of the injured. He was dazed and only snapped out of it when a Fireman handed him a blanket. The battle had shredded his cloths.

 

He was just deciding what to do next when Sapphire walked up and started talking to him. She was even more beautiful up close, if shorter.

 

“Thanks for the help man. It didn’t look too good there for minute.”

 

He mumbled a “You’re welcome”.

 

Before she could speak again the UNTIL and RCMP Commanders marched up and started asking questions. When they asked him his name Sapphire interrupted.

 

“Gentlemen, I think a better question is what are you called? As my friend Witchcraft is so fond of saying; “True Names are Power”.

 

Kaspian smiled at that. He turned away, thinking for a moment. When he turned back he smiled and offered his hand to them still smiling. “You can call me Guardian”

 

Guardian has achieved as successful record as a superhero and made good impressions with local Law Enforcement Agencies and UNTIL. He’s had run-in’s with VIPER, more Minute Man Robots, and several organized crime groups. He works closely with the RCMP and UNTIL through out the Pacific Rim.

 

Personality/Motivation: The Battle of Detroit created in Kaspian a need to protect the Innocent from the evils of the world and as a member of UNTIL he could. When his mutant powers manifested he needed to change his focus from joining UNTIL to becoming a Superhero. A dream comes true.

 

As Guardian he wears an armoured jumpsuit of “BioSteel silk”, combats boots, gloves, and stylized full helmet, a gift from a grateful citizen. He hopes one day to acquire an UNTIL Elite Combat Helmet.

 

Quotes:

 

Powers/Tactics: Kaspian is a Mutant. UNTIL Scientists have determined that Guardian’s Powers are Psionic in origin could potentially become more powerful. He is also the most versatile Telekinetic on the planet.

 

Campaign Use/Plot Seeds: 1.) Institute for Human Advancement (Anti Mutant), 2.) Campaign Villain or Group (GMO), 3.) Organized Crime (GMO), 4.) VIPER, 5.) Something happens at the University Labs and Guardian II struggles to protect his Secret ID and Innocents. 6.) ???.

 

Appearance: An attractive young man with the physique of a martial artist. His brown hair and eyes are unremarkable and he dresses in casual suits or printed t-shirts and jeans. As Guardian he wears an armored jumpsuit of “BioSteel silk”, combats boots, gloves, and stylized full helmet. Guardian’s powers allow his to create an opaque aura that he can use to conceal his identity when he can’t get to his uniform.

I like the idea of the force bubble as a Vehicle.

 

I have to admit, I like that idea as well, and I think (and I admit, I'm bragging) I was the first one to suggest it on the boards, glad to see someone using it...

This is an update to a 'stand-by' character from our champions game from last year. He only got played if we had 5+ players that night and was shared amongst several players. It was a simple enough concept to explain to new players (especially new to HERO) since I could pull up an episode of JLU on Tivo. The travel bubble is relatively new and a result of the many Flight UOO, TK and FWall threads I've seen here. If you did suggest a vehicle first, thank you.

Interesting take. Quick question for you.

 

Also, I am not sure if I am remembering the rule right, but I thought that if you linked one power to another (ie. ff to flight), you had to use them in proportion (i.e. 5" of flight = 1/2 power FF). Wouldn't that cause a problem if you are hovering (1" flight) or just doing a 1/2 move?

I think the proportion requirement would only affect any applicable END costs. The only thing I Linked in the quoted section was the Life Support to the Force Field. The Flight is a seperate EC slot.
