Background/History: Dwayne Perkins was raised to be a warrior in the war for America. His entire family lived out in the woods, they trained and worked hard to be a militia in the service of the Klan. Dwayne was a good soldier growing up, but he hated living out in the middle of no-where Idaho. So when he turned 18 he made his way to Los Angeles. It was a huge city and he wanted to live the big life.

It's not easy being a white supremist in Los Angeles. If you don't have someone looking out for you, you end up dead. Dwayne found some friends, they liked his style and he was a brute of a man; he helped them intimidate and rob from the local non-whites in his neighborhood. Dwayne isn't sure where he got his superhuman powers. He has assumed it was God's proof to him that he was "living the good life".

 

Dwayne (and a few others) got his powers from drinking a cheap booze that was laced with a mutagen by the High King. The High King actually owns the brewery, and since it seems to be most popular with criminals and punks decided that having a bump in the LA henchmen scene might be a good thing.

 

Personality/Motivation: Ignorant, racist, sexist, and violent. These qualities have made Powerburst what he is today. The superpowers merely added arrogance and a mild messiah complex.

Quote: Whatever. Die.

 

Powers/Tactics: Though his powers are limited to the Energyburst from which he has taken his name, Powerburst has a few other options in combat. A big, strong, man with intensive combat experience and survivalist training, he's been enhanced physically by the mutagen but is still in the realm of human.

 

Campaign Use: A thug. Every campaign needs them.

 

Appearance: A huge man with a powerful build, Powerburst has very short hair dyed golden orange, his skin is darker than it was (which kinda bugs him) but he's still obviously Caucasian. He wears a black costume with a gold starbust on his chest, gold arm bands, boots, belt, and gloves. His gloves have no fingers. He wears a high tech gold tinted goggle/headset that he got from one of his employers.

Everyone needs a villainous thug right? This guy is less appealing than Pulsar.

Re: Powerburst

 

I'd either up or drop the HA,

 

I like the idea for the character

 

END seems high, I would either put a slot in the MP for Red End and bring it down to about 50-60, or make it an END reserve

 

Might try to get him some range skill levels, maybe as part of his rangefinder, also Sense range (or what ever the talent is called) would be a good idea on the rangefinder, as would a clock...

[Enforcer84]

Re: Powerburst

 

yeah, he doesn't really need to have that high END. I'm keeping the HA at 5 just because he's a blaster first, then a brawler; and it's a cheapy way to avoid martial arting him.

I could probably drop it back to 60 and use the extra points to trick out his range finder.

Re: Powerburst

 

A good solid super-thug. A good opponent for a Blue Beetle or Spider-Man type.

 

His lack of mobility is his most obvious weakness, but that's a feature, not a bug.

 

He might tend to fade into the background in a group setting. Using him solo or in a very small group might be better.

Your call on the HA, the only problem is I see very little reason for him not to blast up close instead of punch, personaly bringing it up to at least 10d6 (So w/str equals the same as his EB) or maybe tricking it with something like penetrating, not saying he is much for stratagy, but even he would realise "Hey I can shoot him still, and my zaps hurt more"

Re: Powerburst

 

Oh and please post any changes you make, I like to see...

Re: Powerburst

 

Wow, yoz're not only doing great jobs at creating powerhouses and megavillains. You do those old-fashioned thugs just as well. This is a kind of character, that I would create quite a few of along with my mastermind.

 

Good work and ... well, thanks, I think;)
