Background/History: Alexandria Austin was intent on seeing the world. The daughter of a diplomat, she was going to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an attaché. She spent six years attending school in Pennsylvania and Europe. She went to the right parties, and pretty much made herself as many contacts as possible. One night, she was at a party for a young dilettante from France, when she and a few of her friends decided to travel down to the coast. On her way there a shooting star struck the earth right in front of her car. She swerved and hit a tree. Her car was totaled and she had flown through the windshield and lay dying on the road. She struggled to breath, tried in vain to move or speak, but nothing was happening.

 

It was then that she heard in her mind the feeble voice of Kymar. Kymar was a being of vast power, but the power had attracted Devios the Mad. Devios was also a being of vast power and he wanted to clean out the competition...and potential competition... and a couple of worlds because they were ugly. Devios had assaulted Kymar just outside of the earth's atmosphere and would surely come down to lay claim to Kymar's power and snuff out its life.

 

Kymar was dying and it posed a solution to the young woman.

We are both dying, it seems... it began, Perhaps, I can spare us both.

 

Using its telekinetic powers, Kymar brought Alexandria's dying body over towards it. With barely enough strength to open her eyes, Alexandria stared at the alien, it resembled a bluish silver Pegasus from Greek legends, although its wings had no feathers and its head looked less like a horse and more like a dragon.

 

Hmmm...it appears I have sustained more damage than I had thought... The voice in her head was getting softer, Your world is in danger, Devios will not be quenched by my death alone...Take my power human, perhaps you can find away to save your world...

 

Alexandria woke in a crater. Next to her was a broken corpse of a being she had never seen before. In her head swam thoughts of danger. Concentrating, she pinpointed it. Looking to the sky she could almost see Devios. Without thinking, a sheath of cosmic metal surrounded her body and she prepared for battle. Mentally summoning as many heroes as she could, Emperia took off to battle the Mad Titan.

 

Since driving off Devios, she has traveled the globe and much of the solar system. She has faced beings of cosmic and psionic might. She has saved the world. Someday, she will travel to the stars and see what the rest of the universe is like, but now, Earth needs her.

 

Personality/Motivation: Emperia is a "world guardian" she sees herself as a protector of the entire planet. She also sees this as a job. A temporary gig, in fact. Eventually she expects the Earth to get along without her and explore the universe. She's aloof and quite arrogant, but she tries to do the right thing and has made attempts at modesty.

 

Quote: "You do not give the orders around here; I do."

 

Powers/Tactics: A powerful mentalist made even more powerful with a cosmic variable power pool at her disposal. She has the traditional "Cosmic" abilities of superhuman strength and gleaming, environmentally independent, and hyper- resilient skin. She can fly.

 

Campaign Use: She's annoying but tries to do the right thing. She thinks she's always right and powerful enough to push around entire teams. She should be used carefully.

 

Appearance: A beautifull goddess, cast in gleaming blue tinted silver, Alexandria bears a striking resemblance to Marvel Comic's Nova (the shiny female of fire, not bucket head). When "armored up" she wears no clothing, her metallic "skin" has a dark metallic blue eye symbol on her chest. Other than that, nothing. Her hair is a soft, transparent energy, it can be touched and tingles a bit. In her civies, she dresses like a bond girl. She enjoys her body's cosmic "enhancements" and feels she can dress however she wants.

Re: [CHAR] Emperia

 

I think the verdict is in. the Ultimate Books and Super Power Databases have been a very bad idea for me. Too many ideas for characters. Points like water... the horror the horror.

Re: [CHAR] Emperia

 

Wow. I have a couple of characters in my files that break 1000, but no one's come that close to 2k yet.

Re: [CHAR] Emperia

 

I was on a roll and I couldn't stop.

To be fair, I think you could bump the VPP to 150 or 200 and drop the EC all together. But yeah, she's spensive.

Is that how she ended up at 1970?

Coincidence?

I think not.

Re: [CHAR] Emperia

 

She is so hot, in an expensive way, but that's the thing about women with real class, isn't it. They're way too expensive!

 

Okay, down to business now. She could rule my gaming world, since it's usually low powered and almost no character has some kind of mental defense. She could and she would rule it!

 

I give up, Enforcer84 and Emperia now rule the Legatus Universe!

 

Wait until I got my counterpart ready. She will bring freedom to my heroes. Lots of Mental Defense Usable By Others. The Universal Brainwasher and her sidekick Galactikid.

 

It will test your head and your mind...and your brain too.

Over the top?

 

I find her extremely well-balanced, for the role she plays.

 

Wouldn't know where to place her in a campaign as a player character, of course.

yeah, in her playing days she topped out at 500+ pts.

I bought a lot of her stuff back then as OIHID.

Re: [Character] Emperia

 

A fond memory: In the first game she appeared in, I was running 2 characters; my main was Captain Tempest. He was an energy projector whom I forgot to give any resistant defenses to and he was shot in the first combat and almost died.

PsiQueen, however, was supposed to be the physical lightweight of the team (you know, the mentalist) and the first scenario was a robbery. The thing was she was chosen to protect the Bank Manager in his office while the rest of the heroes' were incognito in the actual bank. When the robbery went down she sniped through the window a bit but stayed at her post. That was when the Bank Manager (who had actually been the mastermind behind the crime) smashed a chair over her head.

 

My GM (much like I had overlooked the fact that CT had no resistant defenses) had over looked the fact that she was armored. The chair shattered, she barely felt it, and proceeded to physically (STR 25 at the time) thrash him.

 

Good times
