*Yellow Rose plays the "Woman of Color" card.*

 

Hmmm... The woman of color appears to be color-blind.

Plasma Ranger - - - - - Yellow Rose

 

McCoy stirred the cake while it was setting up.

Now we need a runoff vote betwixt the flag-based energy projector,

and the colorful lady, probably from Amarillo, with her sharp mind.

 

I'm gonna have to go with Plasma Ranger here - if only because his costume doesn't make my eyes bleed.

I am going to have to place my vote for the lady.

One is a flag suit, and one is not.

 

So as much as I respect McCoy, I have to vote for Plasma Ranger here.

Re: Who Will Be the Man from Connecticut ?

 

REPPED !

Thank-you, thank-you. Being REPPED for something I'm enjoying this much is like...well, it's like being paid to game. ;-D

 

I wanted to create the CT hero "Prudence," but since the Portuguese Hero-Maker doesn't have any long skirts, bonnets, shawls or buckled shoes, my idea of a lady in Pilgrim-style attire of black and white wasn't going to fly. (The original Prudence was a Quaker, and their "plain attire" often ended up looking a lot like the traditional Pilgrim garb.)

 

So instead, here's the last of the CT heroes: Charter Oak. (I was going to call him "Fundamental Orders," after the original CT charter, but I thought this worked better.) He's an armoured Brick whose armoured skin takes the form of hard, dense wood...in this case, an ashy gray wood that is recognisably American white oak.

 

When Charter Oak is in his armoured form, his flowing hair becomes the green of oak leaves. His costume also features shades of oak-leaf green, and gold accents that echo the Connecticut state flag. He wears a metal breastplate to reinforce his own natural armour -- particularly important since one of his favoured combat moves is bear-hugging his opponent against his broad chest -- and he carries a shield with the image of the Connecticut state flag.

 

Charter Oak is very comfortable using his shield one-handed, and he is highly skilled in shield combat. (He has a Shield Multipower of effects to enhance his Brick Tricks/Abilities, and Martial Arts with Weapon Focus, shield.) In his green-gloved hands, the shield is not only a defensive device but also a devastating weapon.... It also has a reinforce lanyard that attached it to Charter Oak's breatplate, and allows him to "sling" the shield when he needs both hands.

 

The motto in the picture of Charter Oak is the CT state motto. In English, it means: "He who transplants still sustains."

 

The original New Haven Charter Oak was an unusually large white oak tree that grew on Wyllys Hill, in Hartford, Connecticut. The name stems from the local legend which held that a cavity inside the tree was used, in late 1687, as a hiding place for the colony's charter document.

 

The Charter Oak fell during a storm in August of 1856. It was thought to have been growing since the 12th or 13th Century.

I'm also voting for Plasma Ranger, but more for nostalgia's sake.

Secret ID: Sandy Layton? That's hilarious!

 

I actually had a rough write-up going for her, but she was turning out to be too expensive (~400 points, I think). I'll post it if you'd like to take a look. But your version seems all right, too.

When I write the name for the Secret ID, I try to use cities in the state.

Someone else came up with the idea, but it works.

 

 

Also I have a failing, I always build giant bloated point hogs.

I have no idea how to build characters on a budget.

 

Working on Honey-bee & Volunteer, bought them a radio... http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dzqpmkt_335g8p3tfhq

Thanks, I was worried his hdc file was over powered a bit, but as it looks like 350 is the minimum at this point, I feel better about him going over that

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

lets try CALIFORNIA ---> LINK

 

Hey Baloo, if this doesnt fit your notions, just yell.

This is a rough draft, submitted for your approval.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Honeybee looks good. Thanks for the write-up!

 

I'm going to write up Centennial sometime in the next few days. Does 500 points seem about right?

[Egyptoid]

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

re: cost: apparently almost anything goes.

these arent beginning heroes, cause they're famous enough to be tapped for the program.

 

and they're not the "average hero" cause they're not on local teams,

they are probably used to going solo.

 

 

 

and let's try Arizona http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dzqpmkt_370fqhsxvdx

[Pariah]

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

I'm about half finished with Centennial; I may have him available to look at later today.

 

While we're on the subject of names, I'd like to reserve the (Secret ID) names Craig Thornton and Logan Fairmont for Centennial and The Mountaineer, respectively.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

I've said this before, but its worth repeating.

 

Just cuz I do a write-up, doesn't mean its set in stone.

Please feel free to submit better versions, different versions, suggestions, etc.

Well, I did have something different for Wind Talker (mutant instead of mystic) in mind, but your take works fine and I am being lazy anyway

 

I'll try to hash out another one sometime though
