Teddy Tough

[AdamLeisemann]

Just a joke character originally made as a convert from TMNT by Palladium over to Champions.

 

Background

Some time ago, still during the Cold War, some American scientists were conducting a military-funded experiment. It was said to be done for the purpose of creating a super-soldier. The remaining details were hidden.

 

These scientists took some rats for experimentation, figuring if they could use an animal as a super-soldier, this would be great. Then they started tampering and made a discovery; Bio Energy.

 

The Premise of Bio Energy is that when you add a factor in one area, the creature's survival depended upon taking away another factor. It was a balancing act. They managed to master it in 1999

 

As rats were not really good soldier material, the scientists went out and captured a bear for experimentation. The Military did not know of this. However, they were able to modify the bear to their desires, the price being it had to be shrunk down to smaller than a child. Thus was the creation of Teddy Tough, a powerful, nearly invulnerable, bear-like super-soldier. This plan was rejected one the grounds of legality (and let's not forget that the bear has no common sense), but they kept the creature, donating him to a superteam in need of a strong-arm.

 

Personality/Motivation

Teddy Tough is somewhat bewildered about his new condition. He is a part of the military, as was his training. However, the Military keeps close tabs on him while denying their involvement in his creation.

 

Personality wise, Teddy Tough is mostly a classic four-color hero with a simplistic veiw of things, not to mention all the brains of a newt (apologies to any newts who've just been insulted). As such, he is a simplistic individual simply looking to do some good.

 

Quote

"I know it's a trap, but there's nothing to do about that. So, FORWARD HO!!!!" (Yes, he is that stupid...)

 

Powers/Tactics

Teddy tough is basically a brick who marches in, takes hits, and hopefully hits harder. It's a simple life for him.

 

Campaign Use

Comic releif. 'Nuff Said. That, or a good story for a military cover-up. But mostly comic relief.

 

Appearance

Teddy Tough gets his name from his small size (Two feet and eight inches tall) and the fact that he's basically an anthropomorphic bear. (The scientists would have gone for a human appearance, but that would require further shrinking.) His cosume consists a Yellow spandex jumpsuit and a red domino mask, as designed by the military to make it seem like he's not from the military.

The build may be questionable, but it was a quicky this morning taking only a few hours.

Re: Teddy Tough

 

A little problem with the Martial Arts: you need 10 pts minimum, if I'm not mistaken. Also, since he has a 60 Str, does he really need a HKA? It seems a little out of place with a Code vs Killing. I wouldn't give him martial arts but if you keep it, I'd go with the Crush and add perhaps Block and maybe Disarm, Throw or Shove... as flavor permits. It wouldn't hurt to help his ED as any Energy attack is really going to do a number on him.

Yep. I have the Revised edition of TMNT RPG as the current edition of After The Bomb. Personally, I prefer TMNT for setting and use ATB for extra options and boosted characters.
