Comic Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 A reworking of my first 350-pt character from decades ago, as far as I can recall. The original had a 1d6 Entangle with +4 Variable Advantage, back when DEF was based on total AP, and VA was a +1 Advantage. He got into a lot of trouble on a team with a strictly-OAF gadgeteer, a martial artist whose Martial Escape didn't work against entangles, a sorcerer who relied on gestures for all his spells, and a detective who relied on stun only weapons, since most of Glazier's entangles tended to be AoE, and he had an aiming deficiency. Though in his defense, he was the only one without effective invisibility, so his designated role on the team was 'bait'. I thought Glazier would be really limited by most of his offensive abilities relying on an End Reserve that only recovered by feeding on the END of others. It turned out to be a pretty decent tactic.

Origin Chris Talliser was guiding a winter camping expedition for a Boy Scout troop in the backwoods of Quebec in the heart of the Canadian Shield. Mr. Monik, the scoutmaster, had made all the arrangements, including tents and gear that was some of the best Chris had ever seen. There were twelve teenagers, and Brett, Chris's cousin, the backwoods expert, also on the trip. To make a long story short, Monik was a Morbane, trying to retrieve an ancient artifact by performing a blood sacrifice of a dozen innocents -- the drugged and helpless scouts -- atop the rock imprisoning the Eyes of Oblivion, a matched pair of blue sapphire the size of a human eye with absolute power over cold. Brett and Chris discovered the ritual, interrupted it, and were smacked down by Monik in the blink of an eye. Which Monik did not have time to regret. In their heroic sacrifice, the cousins became the custodians of the Eyes. That is, Chris became the custodian in this world. Brett's otherdimensional journey remains an untold tale. As Glazier, Chris Talliser wields fantastic powers of cold and ice. He can assume a glacial form 20' tall and nearly invulnerable, shoot blasts of pure chill, and more. To do this he must open the gate to the dimension of cold, an act which calls upon a sacrifice of warmth from this universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transmetahuman Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Re: [Character] Glazier Nitpick, without even really reading the write-up (sorry): You might want to spell his name Glacier - a glazier is "one who cuts and fits glass, as for doors and windows".

Comic Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Re: [Character] Glazier It's a play on words, glacier + laser. Though given his aiming deficiency, he would have been very popular with the glaziers' guild. And the masons. Plumbers. Bricklayers. Carpenters... Well, as popular as a skeleton imbedded in animated ice gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eyes are the windows of the soul. His windows have been replaced by a paired ancient mystic sapphire. It's like a homeowner upgrade.
