Background/History: A sentient nanite colony created quite possibly before the rise of man on Earth. Found by adventurers in a long abandoned extra terrestrial enclave. When awoken, she recognized one of the adventurers as her creator (in her mind, her 'Father'); she accompanied the adventurers when they returned. Since then the colony, who calls herself Esmeralda, has been a part of the superteam in question. She has grown somewhat, assuming a more mature form (as a shape shifter she can appear however she wants but she has a "natural" form) and adopting a costume and name for her superheroic activities.

 

Personality/Motivation: Emerald wants to do three things; Protect her Father, Please her Father, and discover her humanity. The third is actually the easiest, as she's already proven herself capable of emotion and empathy. She's a bit immature and selfish, but as she grows and experiences the world around her she's overcoming that. Protecting her father, is tough as he's a rough and tumble guy, and a bit more powerful at this stage than she is. Pleasing him, is tough because he doesn't really know what to do with her and he's in a commited relationship with someone Emerald does't reall acknowledge as her mother. Though she looks like someone from Esmeralda's past, she isn't sure who.

 

Emerald gets along well with her fellow adventurers and has grown quite close to the rag tag team/family she's thrust herself upon. Her experiences with the rest of the world have had mixed results though.

 

Quote: "As you say, Kin"

 

Powers/Tactics: As a nanite colony with absolute control over her physical form, Emerald is quite powerful. However, some of her abilities are still locked (ie I wanted a 350 pt version). At the moment she is basically a classic stretching character, a little on the low end for a stretcher, but very versitile.

 

As she adds expereience (or I write the non point capped version) she will develop even more diversified attacks and defenses, and skills up the ying yang.

 

Campaign Use: Technically, Emerald is a "thing". A sentient colony of nanites (much like we're a sentient colony of cells) she is as "alive" as anyone. However there are parties in the world who see her as a "thing" and want to possess that thing for study/reproduction/collection, etc.. Adventures with Emerald could have those overtones. There could also be romance, she's young (sort of) pretty, naive, shy, and just learning about the world. She wants to understand love (not a familial form, she's got that) and that could lead to interesting stories. She can work with her "team" or with a bit of work, be a metahuman heroine, who helps people while trying to stay one foot ahead of those who seek to possess her.

 

Appearance: A pretty girl, appears to be about sixteen with shoulder length green hair and green eyes. She wears slightly out dated fashions (shops at thrift stores) and prefers neutral colors. She has fair skin and lots of freckles.

 

When operating as Emerald, she wears a dark green body suit with lighter green and black accessories. A green "emerald" is set just below her collar bone in the center of her chest. It glows with a pale light when she wears the costume. Her boots, belt, and gloves are black. Her goggles, shoulder pads, belt buckle, arm and thigh bands are light green.

Background/History: A sentient nanite colony created quite possibly before the rise of man on Earth. Found by adventurers in a long abandoned extra terrestrial enclave. When awoken, she recognized one of the adventurers as her creator (in her mind, her 'Father'); she accompanied the adventurers when they returned. Since then the colony, who calls herself Esmeralda, has been a part of the superteam in question. She has grown somewhat, assuming a more mature form (as a shape shifter she can appear however she wants but she has a "natural" form) and adopting a costume and name for her superheroic activities.

 

Personality/Motivation: Esemeralda has grown quite a bit at this stage. She should be much less an outsider at this point; she's overcome her jealousy with Mechangel, found her own romance, and grown a tad overconfident (not uncommon in superpowered beings). She's a good team player and a skilled scientist/technical assistant/medical assistant.

 

Quote: "As you say, Kin"

 

Powers/Tactics: As a nanite colony with absolute control over her physical form, Emerald is quite powerful. This represents Emerald's growth. She has regained her skillset and unlocked her true power. Her control has improved (Technically she has the USPD power Pregnancy Control, however, she's already a lot of points and I don't see the need to spell that out for this character), she has added a lot more combat options, martial arts, a bio energy attack suite and enhanced senses. It should be noted that though her control over her physical form is nigh absolute it is tiring. Almost all of her abilities cost end and if she wants to use her enhanced senses all at once with defense and attack powers she's going to run out quickly.

 

Campaign Use: Technically, Emerald is a "thing". A sentient colony of nanites (much like we're a sentient colony of cells) she is as "alive" as anyone. However there are parties in the world who see her as a "thing" and want to possess that thing for study/reproduction/collection, etc.. Adventures with Emerald could have those overtones. There could also be romance, she's young (sort of) pretty, naive, shy, and just learning about the world. She wants to understand love (not a familial form, she's got that) and that could lead to interesting stories. She can work with her "team" or with a bit of work, be a metahuman heroine, who helps people while trying to stay one foot ahead of those who seek to possess her.

 

Appearance: Another stage of growth, a new appearance, sort of. This point represents Esmeralda as a young adult. She appears to be mid twenties, confident, and aware of the world around her. Same features (green hair, eyes, freckles, etc). He hair is a bit longer and she styles it semi regularly, trying something new every couple of weeks. She dresses much better now, but still has an understated fashion sense. She's a bit more demure than the average 20 something.

 

When operating as Emerald, she wears a dark green body suit with lighter green and black accessories. A green "emerald" is set just below her collar bone in the center of her chest. It glows with a pale light when she wears the costume. Her boots, belt, and gloves are black. Her goggles, shoulder pads, belt buckle, arm and thigh bands are light green.

I did write up a version of Niebelung Valesti. It looked something like deze nutz:

 

Niebelung Valesti!: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 3d6, +1 Increased STUN Multiplier (+1/4), Does Knockback (+1/4), Autofire (3 shots; +1/4), Armor Piercing (+1/2) (101 Active Points); Activation Roll 14- (Only if Enough Power is Available; -1/2), OIF (Sword of Opportunity; -1/2), Only When Serving The God's Purposes (Silmeria May Withhold Power; -1/2), Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (END Reserve Completely Drains When Power Activates; -1/2), Incantations ("Finishing Strike: Niebelung Valesti!"; -1/4)

I still need to finish up the first Valkyrie Profile game. I keep getting distracted by all the Pokemon voice actors in it.

Re: [Character] Emerald

 

The first one is absolutely fantastic. The second is significantly harder; I'm 60 hours in and I'm still getting my @$$ handed to me in what I believe is the final core map -- but I'm honestly unsure. I may have to go back and revisit other sections for another 10 or so hours just to keep from getting annihilated. The whupping I've received is truly, truly humbling.

Re: [Character] Emerald

 

Oh, both Chad (E84) & I are tremendous video game junkies; the character he designed is a direct reference to Xenogears, one of the greatest original PS One games. The attack that I designed is from Valkyrie Profile 2, the story of Silmeria, as opposed to the original, which was about Linneth. Honest, the first one was a much tighter game, but 2 is much deeper. So there are definitely two separate experiences to be had there.

Yeah, I don't play video games; beyond human reflexes----beyond as in "like nobody's that bad!"

 

Doesn't much matter; the idea is so cool I've got to use it sometime!
