Edsel Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I am filling out the character background on a character in Hero Designer. The only background field that is blank is the Quote. Perhaps someone can suggest something witty. The character's name is Crystal. She is a female whose powers are to absorb the properties of any natural crystals that she is in contact with. In civilian life she is a very wealthy Jewelry mogul who owns a nation-wide chain of stores. As a result she is always wearing a diamond bracelet so in hero ID she assumes a form of living diamonds (high damage resistance and hardened defenses). Her powers are 70 STR and she can fire rock or crystal blasts. She can tunnel and has N-Ray vision verses the ground or rock and stone walls. She can also control nearby ground to do entangles and forcewalls. What would be a good quote for such a character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Re: Needed: A witty quote Mmm, no promises these will be GOOD, just what came to mind when I read the first post: "In my case, diamonds aren't just a girl's best friend, they're her howitzer." "I'm about to give you a 24 karat humbling..." "Now -that- was a truly 'Flawless victory'" "Surprised by my last move? Don't be...

Edsel Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Re: Needed: A witty quote "This is the most expensive beating you'll ever get." The winner. As it was pointed out by a couple of our players the character's Psychological Disads make her out to be a bit snobbish. I am out of rep right now, but it will be forthcoming.

Powers/Tactics: Most of her abilities are gained by being able to absorb the properties of any natural crystals that she is in contact with. Normally she wears a diamond bracelet and absorbs properties from it. If she is forced to make do with some other crystal the GM may decide to lower or alter her powers accordingly. Sorry no back story. The player has it typed up but I don't have an electronic copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
