[character] Aegis

[JmOz]

Background: During the years prior to WWII a brave archeologist discovered the find of a life time, a shield dating back to ancient greece, the metal was not something easily identified, but it had no rust or tarnish on it. The round disc was amazingly light and impossibly strong.

 

The archeologist realising that this shield was special, took it and became one of the first wave of mystery men. It has been almost 70 years, and now the 4th decendent has become the latest Aegis. While active for a couple years now the new Agis is still part of the latest wave of heroes.

 

Currently works as a mystery writer, mostly series type books, while making a decent living has yet to hit it big.

 

Personality: Agis has litteraly been raised to be a hero, and has had enough experience to no longer feel like the new kid. This does at times cause for some overconfidence, but there is a strong desire to do what is right.

 

Powers/Tactics: The shield is unbreakable, is exceptionaly aerodynamic and provides good defence. Has been trained in a unique Martial art centered around using the shield.

 

Appearence: The costume worn by Ageies is a Crimson body suit with a golden colored Brest plate and accents, a golden helm helps to cover his eyes, all of it has a Greek/roman look to it

Re: [character] Aegis

 

My first thought was to add the following: KS Greek Tragedy 11- and KS: Pulp Genre 11-, just to give him some more unexpected quirks. But, looks good otherwise.

A couple good ideas, but slight change, KS: greek Mythology (Probably on an 8-) and then KS: Aegis History (representing sense world war II on...)

Re: [character] Aegis

 

Made a couple minor changes (Removed Offensive strike for Ranged Defensive, droped some int for more background skills)

Re: [character] Aegis

 

Does the shield provied him with the life support? And if it does, what's the rationale there?

 

btw solid low-powered shield, with all the abilities it ought to have without getting too exotic.

 

other slots if you are so inclined could be force wall, armor useable simultaneously by two in one hex, and sight flash defense. I'm not keen myself on a HKA based upon the shield's edge, but there is nothing wrong with it per se.

 

Of course as usual your builds are superb.

Re: [character] Aegis

 

the life support is provided by the costume, as are the enhanced senses (built in radio and lenses) and FD: SIght
