Well, I think it squicked Comic so it's gotta be good.

 

Damn it, I really want to write this up tonight but I've got a holiday party to go to. Pesky Xmas.

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Let us not neglect to mention that the New Thunderbolts game was run by Supreme Serpent, aka el Generalissimo Serpiente*, who had to drop out due to Real Life pressures.

 

Drat. Now I'll never get to play the Goblin King...

Dibs on the son of Dr. Strange and Illyana Rasputin.

 

Yeah, dang it, I wanted to do an Illyana homage also, with a little bit of Raven thrown in. Curses! Foiled again!

 

Back to the comic book cave, Robin!

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

This idea is too big a hoot not to share... mind you, the NPC has appeared in the Avengers Next Gen campaign, but I think this could still work... check with the Bunny

does anyone like the idea of playing Peter Henry Gyrich's Mutant son or daughter?

[Corven_Ren]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Just one note on my build up above. The Dragon Style of martial arts is a custome martial art that is part of his backstory I am working on. Basically he created it along with Psylocke.

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

I just want to say, for the record, that the thought of either the Blob or the Toad reproducing conjures nasty images.

 

Also, I am definitely going to create a submission for this game

 

Kitty Pryde has no kids, eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

...What about grandkids?

[McCoy]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

OK, second attempt. Got some points left over, will take a Mystery Power and Mystery disad if needed.

 

It is difficult to imagine an odder couple than Mortimer Toynbee and Joanna Cargill. She's tall, he's short. She's African-American, he's British. She's know for her temper, he's known as a yes-man. He's twice her age. They had only three things in common, they were mutants, they wer followers of Magneto, and they were in love.

 

When Cargill got pregnant, they married, put their criminal carreers beind them, changed their names, and lived incognito in Jamaca, New York. Mortimer supported his family by working as a handyman, and later own his own "fix it shop," an appliance and computer repair business. Joanna was a stay-at-home Mom until their son was in middle school, then she took a job in construction.

 

From the time he was old enough to understand they impressed on their son Erik that there were some secrets that could not be discussed outside the family, such as their mutant powers and criminal past. But despite their efforts to raise their son as a law abiding citizen, he seemed to be continually one step ahead of the law, always working some sceme of scam or questionable deal.

 

In desperation, Joanna wrote to Professor X, coming clean about their current identies, and calling in a favor as a former X-Man to get Charles' help putting their son on the Straight and Narrow. The Post Office being what it is, it arrived two days after he died.

 

Eric, or HipHop as he calls himself, inheirated his mother's resistance to damage, and his father's super-strong legs. He is highly acrobatic, and a master of the Brizilian Martial Art of Capoeira, and during combat will often stand on his hands to use his legs to best effect. He has also learned "tinkering" from his father, and has studied his notes on the alien technology Mortmer had reverse-engineered.He carries some electronic components in case he needs to fix something, bypass high-tech security, or adapt his powers. He is an accomplished street preformer, and enjoys dancing, rapping, and turning found/improvised objects into percussion insterments (think Stomp!).

Powers you will only see if..

 

Stepping Slicks that suck you in if you touch them and expel you elsewhere in time and space if.. Illyana Rasputin and Fred Dukes couldn't keep their hands off each other.

 

Playing cards that reshape you physically if.. Masque and Gambit admitted their love.

 

A psychic woman who could alter her density from diamond to disappearance if.. Kitty Pryde's DNA intermixed with Emma Frost's during a freak phasing incident that caused accidental spontaneous homozygous cloning.

 

The world's most powerful psychic master of metal and magnetism if.. Charles Xavier and Magneto decided their love for one another must result in a child, even if they both are male and Moira scowled at the unholiness of such a union.

 

A mutant who can absorb and use all your powers, by creating duplicates with those powers if.. Rogue and Maddrox got drunk one night.

 

A mutant who shoots unstoppable hairy projectiles out their mouth if.. Sam Guthrie overcame his shyness around Catseye.

 

Geeks could get lucky if.. Cypher weren't dead, and he got lucky with Tarot.

[Randi]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Background

 

Subject: Mutant 60506, Codename Red Rose

Surname: Roberts; Christened: Rosa Rachel

Date of Birth: Uncertain, listed as July 12, 2001.

Birthplace of Record: Chicago, IL.

Birth Mother: Unknown (Raven Darkholme). Adopted Mother: Annabelle Lee Roberts nee Merriweather.

Real Father: Unknown (Apocolypse). Adopted Father: Jacob Adam Roberts.

Adopted Siblings: One younger brother, Jeffrey Adam Roberts.

 

Until age twelve, the most notable qualities of the adopted daughter of Doctors Jacob and Annabelle Roberts were prodigal mathematical and science abilities and an IQ beyond all standard measuring methods.

 

At age eleven, the subject evinced abilities which she kept secret, but which had been observed nonetheless. When confronted with recorded video of her abilities, she admitted to them, but stated that she was unsure of them as yet, and that she wanted a better handle on them before reporting them to her adopted parents.

 

Transfer to MEF allowed steady development of this Rank Five talent into a phenomenal ability to sense and alter (reshape) matter and energy... and she also has exhibited powerful psychic abilities. After seven years at MEF, she left suddenly, just after her eighteenth birthday. She simply did not show up for classes one day, and it is feared that she may have been abducted, or that she may have fled to avoid oversight of development of her abilities.

 

Lengthy efforts to investigate the whereabouts of this subject in the intervening two years have been unsuccessful. It is unknown if Roberts acted on her own or if she had help to effect this disappearance.

 

In addition to her mutant power, Rosa Roberts was an outstanding student, mastering mathematics and several sciences while at MEF and showing a keen interest in mutant genetics. She worked out regularly to keep her girlish figure, as she stated on many occasions, and always excelled at whatever she studied, having taken all the standard classes to acquire a well-rounded education.

 

Indirect observations of this subject before and during her time at MEF have shown that she has continued to train and extend the potential of her mutant gift. It is possible that she plans to use technology to augment her genetic abilities, hence her keen interest in sciences, but there is no evidence to back this speculation.

At peak effort, Mutant 60506 is capable of altering and redirecting tons of matter and megawatts of energy. Her upper limits have never been fully ascertained.

 

Limitations: Unknown.

 

Her defenses appear to be largely dependent upon her extreme toughness, though she has been known to block or dodge attacks, as well.

 

Her instructors at MEF list her as Rank Five talent.

 

Testing at MEF for psychic potential indicates high abilities, possibly rivaling Xavier.

 

Psychological Profile: Ambitious and coldly logical. When asked what she wants to do with her life, she has repeatedly stated "Make the world a better place and help people to be all that they can be."

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

And good to see you again too, Log.

Um...have you run into Hazard in the New Thunderbolts game? He's a son of Longshot too; Longshot and Spiral.

Awwww...dammit. Back to the drawing board.

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

She's not French, but she is Canadian.

Good to hear you're back, hope you're feeling much better Louise.

 

I'm not directly running either campaign ATM, but I'll just toss out that Hazard could be an interesting X-Man. Hasn't been introduced in T-bolts yet, so easy enough to port over if desired.

 

Awwww...dammit. Back to the drawing board.

 

Who's to say Longshot didn't father more than one kid?

[Haven Walkur]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

That wasn't supposed to be a claim of ownership to the concept, Log. I imagine Longshot is pretty (ahem) prolific...and besides, Hazard hasn't actually seen play yet. So go on, build your concept; you know you want to....

[gojira]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Still working on something... if Log doesn't stick with the Dazzler route I may try to do something with her son. Alison was a cool character when they introduced her, although I didn't follow the character much.

 

Like Comic, I get squicked easily. I'm thinking Alison had a child out of wedlock. The father is ... dun dun DUN... a secret.

[Comic]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

So.. one of the key elements of the X-Men has always been their rivalries.

 

Should we start worrying about PC rivals?

 

And I do not get squicked easily.

 

Watch.. Hela and Taterdemalion's half-deity/half-mutant offspring Taterela. Who has a touch that causes, um.. clothes to shred.

 

Okay, not enough? Abomination's child with Black Widow, Black Russian. He has the power to breath through his gills in pure liquid vodka.

 

Uhm.. Er.. Annalee and Caliban.. well, okay, that's dangerous territory for non-squick-making reasons.

 

And I haven't even gotten around to the Skrull-mutant combination platter.

[mikesama]

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Union Jack

 

Brian Braddock isn't a mutant, he is however Captain Britain and does have super powers. Everything said that he wasn't a mutant and there wouldn't be much of a chance that his children would be a mutant. His sister Betsy told him that being a super hero negated the odds and he was going to have a mutant child, after all she was a mutant so the genes were floating around. He laughed at her when she made the joke. Less than 2 years later his son Bruce Jackson Braddock was born.

 

Bruce showed all the intelligence of his physicist father and was growing into the build more akin to Captain Britain and less of Brian Braddock. By age 12 Brian figured has his sister had been right all along, Bruce was becoming far more than a natural athlete and Brian confirmed it when he caught his son working out in the car garage, bench pressing one of the sports cars.

 

By age 16 Bruce was a bit of a terror at the private school he went to. While in no means a bully, Bruce had a strong sense of right and wrong and also had gained a mischievous streak that had only been magnified by the lessons he had learned from his aunt Betsy. While rarely caught he had been caught a couple of times and his father decided that he should be sent somewhere that was more used to dealing with someone with Bruce's ability, which now meant the MEF.

 

Thanks to his aunt Betsy he didn't end up going to a MEF school but instead dropped out of the sports team he had been on and focused more on his studies earning himself several scholarships and a bachelors degree in materials engineering by the age of 21. When the call came out for the X-men to reform Bruce, decided to answer the call and make sure that a Braddock was on the current team.

 

He's currently working at getting a PHD in Materials Engineering at NYU and spends his time alternating between the X manor and New York to finish his doctoral classes.

 

Powers

Bruce possesses superhuman strength, endurance, reflexes and speed. His healing is also enhanced, although not to the extent of someone like wolverine, recovering from serious wounds in a matter of a day or two. Also while not superhuman his senses and intellect are both nearing the top end of the human spectrum.

 

Appearance

Standing around 6 foot 2 Bruce is a well muscled man in the prime of his life. Blond hair, blue eyes and a dazzling smile make him seem like the poser boy for herodom. In uniform he has a basic dark blue body suit trimmed with red, possessing a cowl style mask similar to his fathers mask that he wears as Captain Britain. The only other thing the suit possesses is s small British flag on the sleeve, in the same location as the flag on a soldiers fatigues. Out of costume he often falls under the 'preppy look' with lots of polo shirts and khakis, he will on occasion dress down or up as the situation demands it.

A mutant who can absorb and use all your powers' date=' by creating duplicates with those powers if.. Rogue and Maddrox got drunk one night.[/quote']

 

Even if the pairing is rather odd - that power build idea is genius.

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

I've attached the file for Colossus II.....I can't figure out how to change the file format though from hdc so I can actually just paste it here as well? My luddite nature betrays me again..

Re: X-Men: The Next Generation campaign on Hero Central

 

Still working on something... if Log doesn't stick with the Dazzler route I may try to do something with her son. Alison was a cool character when they introduced her, although I didn't follow the character much.

 

Like Comic, I get squicked easily. I'm thinking Alison had a child out of wedlock. The father is ... dun dun DUN... a secret.

Well, Charm would probably still work now that I think about it. I was going to play off of Longshot's inhuman attractiveness, which is exactly the kind of thing which would get Longshot kids from myriad women, right? But then, it seems to o against his whole innocence angle, too. So...

 

I'm going a different angle. Dazzler's all yours
