Worth a thousand words?

[Sean Waters]

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

that gauntlet, and possibly the Girl as well, are Sean Water's wet dream come true.

 

That gauntlet represents a large multi-power weapon.

 

1. Teleport Usable Against Others, Trans-Dimensional

2. Large Naked Advantage of Trandimensional for her other powers.

3. A large amount of Luck, Usable only to invoke meta-rules in her favor.

 

 

 

her hair turned green from all the ambient radiation

given off by the SW-Particles released in rule-bending

 

Hubba hubba, obviously

I feel like I'm dominating the thread but I have a bunch of pictures sitting around

 

Does this one inspire any ideas?

 

I'm pretty sure this guy, who may or may not actually have a name, is made entirely out of antimatter. The gold armor? Part of a suit that provides the magnetic field necessary to keep him all in one piece.

"Made of Anti Matter": 12d6 RKA Explosion (Megascaled to KM), Trigger: Harness destroyed, No Range, 1 Charge that does not recover

 

 

Interesting idea though. All I had was he looked like some sort of "Space God" type character or a being like the Beyonder.

Hm? Oh, she's just very agile. Ridiculously agile. Agile to unstoppable levels. She can't say, break through a wall on a move-through, but she really doesn't need to. She's not a speedster, but she is a Martial Artist.

 

Couldn't tell you the origin, though yes, I did note the file name.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Is it bad that my first knee-jerk reaction is to name that last female character (Birdgirl) as The Nipple Ninja?

 

Is there a specific reason that her breasts are bare? Other than the +40 PRE attack?

In the original character concept, there wasn't a major reason for it. The culture she came from just didn't have a nudity taboo about the breasts (they were technically primitive tribal aliens that lived on a tropical world). When she ended up on Earth, she found human prudish about it rather baffling.

What sort of powers/background would you guys give this young lady?

 

The power to experience anorexia without losing fat from her breasts?

The power to experience anorexia without losing fat from her breasts?

 

Yeah, sorry, but most of the females thus depicted are pretty much all possessed of the same powerset - or at least outfits that have a very limited form of telekinesis to keep themselves in check.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

As I've asked before, could we please keep the snark down to a minimum? The artist for these pictures and several of the players are board members that have given me permission to use their characters for this experiments. Taste is subjective and I'm not asking everyone to love them (I'd be surprised if everyone did) or heap praise on the images but can we at least try to avoid directly insulting anyone and keep the thread moving in a productive manner? If it's going to be major hassle to do that I'll stop posting and just get to work on the write ups and let the thread be. I thought the idea was fun but I don't want to get into some kind of major issue about anything or see anyone's feelings hurt

In any case, there were some really good ideas in the thread so far. I'll try to get the Outsiders up in a week or two. I hope some others will be posting pics at some point. Be a shame for the thread to close down.

That's sort of a genre convention in comic books. It's the same level as not asking why putting on glasses makes a superhero unrecognizable in secret identity.

 

Nexus, please don't get upset by the board comments. I for one did like Birdwoman.

I'm not really upset, disappointed and somewhat annoyed though and I didn't want my friends to get upset or insulted. But why lets some spoilsports kill a good time? I'll talk to them and see what they think and if it's okay with them I'll put them back up.

Your wish is my command.

 

Here's three pics I made...

[nexus]

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Your wish is my command.

 

Here's three pics I made...

 

Picture 4 Maybe "Spectrum" or "Prism". I see her as having powers based n light and colors, maybe even creating solid energy constructs similar to the powers of a Green Lantern. I'd make her an alien, maybe on Earth due to assignment since her costume and bearing have a military vibe to me.

 

Picture 1: Her cowl makes her look bald (though of course she didn't have to be) and that makes me think mentalist right off the bat. Interesting color combination, a bit on the somber side in ways and kind of severe maybe a very no nonsense even hardened personality that's somewhat superior. I could see her as a villain actually with powers centered on Mind Control and Illusion. Weak in physical combat and likes to hide and mentally snipe at "inferior minds". Name could be something like Dominatrix, Regis, or other commanding title.

 

Picture 2. The costume implies mystic to be, of a meditative, monk sort rather than a mage though I could see him casting spells too. But I more imagine a martial artist that practices a "internal" style the emphasizes chi/mana control and Mind over matter maybe Kalarippayattu an Indian martial art that has some mystical aspects. Might be a little clichéd by he could be blind too or maybe just wears the eyeless mask to focus his other senses.

[Gideon]

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

And one more pic I made...

[nexus]

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Something about her makes me think android or robot, cold, methodical and emotionless. Don't have a good handle on powers so I'll default to basic enhanced physical abiities (strength, speed durability), maybe some enhanced senses. Maybe she's an engineered lifeform, a project of Telios created as bodyguard and a long term piece of eyecandy unlike his other throw away "dolls". But like them, she can't speak lacking any vocal organs.

Three is, obviously, the third of her line and the most powerful to date. She has little emotion or personality beyond an intense loyalty to Regis that the mentalist has created for her. Aside from that she is cold and machine like but as time goes on she's started to develop sparks of humanity and a child like curiosity about the rest of the world. Interestingly, Regis nurtures that part of her having taken on an almost maternal attitude towards the combat clone.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Here's the HDC file for those that want it Sheet for Regis coming up.

[nexus]

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Regis: Even geniuses make mistakes. Telios, on something of a lark decided to create a special "doll" for amusement, one with psionic talents to make her more useful as a toy as she'd be able to read his desires before he was even aware of them and apply her powers to the task.

 

He over did it.

 

Regis, crafted from genetic samples from several powerful psis including Mentalla turned out to be far more powerful then Telios intended. Worse, she was far more willful as well. She saw the fate that of mastermind's toys when he tired of them and resented being considered an expendable slave and fled at the first opportunity, taking Three with her as bodyguard but also out of a sense of fellowship. Telios wants his "property" back but is also fascinated by their rebellion and wants to see how they do on their own and to test them as something of field experiment. With proper conditioning both could be useful to him in the future.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Note on Regis: Technically, she can't speak either but can pretty effortlessly create a mental "voice" for herself if need be. I decided not to bother writing that up since it's essentially the same as speaking for most intents and purposes and just didn't give her a disadvantage for being physically mute. If you think it should be it would be Images, only to simulate speech, no range.

Re: Worth a thousand words?

 

Yun Li was from a family or sorcerers. Each member of her family was taught a different specialty. Li's specialty was necromancy. She was the most powerful member of the family.

 

But she didn't feel powerful enough. So, she searched the globe for the mystical staff: The Animator of the Dead. (loosely translated). This staff could raise an entire graveyard in one hour. And all under her command.

 

But, she was consistently followed by a mercenary. Captain Blight.

 

 

 

Captain Blight was practically immune to Li's power. Which is quite an accomplishment for someone who is dead.

 

You see, while Li was first learning all of her new powers; an American military man was sent in to discover what she was all about.

 

Li discovered Blight, and attacked him, and he died. When she tried to animate his corpse. It was her first time to animate the dead. And she got the spell wrong. Instead of a mindless loyal zombie, Blight was alive - in a sense - again.

 

Li's powers couldn't affect Blight anymore, Plus Blight's guns and knife could work on any undead creature.

 

Blight escaped capture (he was still outnumbered), and decided to make it his "life's" work to keep tabs on Li.

 

You can't tell by looking at Blight that he is dead. So he plays it like he's still alive. And his unusual sense of humor explains the T-shirt.
