Preview of Street Super Hero Character

[JmOz]

I thought I would show off one of the characters, while I have not written up his description, he is the Protege of the main hero of the city. He is a 14 year old boy, training to eventually replace the Fox. While it is not on his character sheet he is wanted by the cops, however most will not pursue (thus worth very few if any points). I will be changing one of his complications to indicate he is a minor.

 

The points are 300 with 50 complication

There is a optional rule he will be using to lower the cost of followers

Defenses and damage are slightly on the low side, OCV and DCV are high (DCV is maxed when using Martial Strike)

BackgroundFifteen years ago a child was born in tragedy, her name was Emily Romero. The delivery was hard, and her mother, Rose, laid dying in the hospital. The only moment Emily ever had with her mother was a couple minutes of being laid on her chest. It was while Rose held baby Emily that she passed from a life of pain to the next life. Years later, her father would say that the only time her mother looked truly happy were those few minutes at the end of her life.

 

Her father loved her with all of his heart, but with no education and a failing economy he had very little job opportunities. That is until someone came to him and offered him a thousand dollars a week, for almost no work. All he had to do was pick up a package, drop it off on the address listed, and bring back an envelope and follow three rules: Don't ask about it, Don't talk about it, Don't snoop. He was sure that it was illegal, but seeing no other hope for himself or his daughter he agreed.

 

Emily grew up, not realizing what her dad did for a living, he was her dad, wasn't hat a good job for anyone. Unfortunately this happy life could not last forever. What neither Emily or her father knew was that (Crimelord name here) had a few debts to pay off, and his police captain needed a good drug bust to raise public opinions. Emily's father got called, and offered an extra two thousand dollars to drive a SUV and drop it off for a friend of his Boss who was moving. The cops pulled him over and he was sentenced to jail for the next twenty years. Emily was sent to live with her uncle.

 

Her uncle ran a popular website supporting the masked heroes of the city and critical on the underbelly of crime in the city. A month after she had moved in with him (The crimelord) decided to make an example of her uncle by sending men to "take care" of him. The masked hero known at the time as The Cub had gotten word of the hit and rushed to save him. Unfortunately Cub arrived in time to capture the hit men, but not to stop the crime. An eight year old girl saw the whole thing.

 

The cub took the child to the hidden base of her mentor, The Fox. The Fox agreed to take her in (where she could not hear him). Soon she was the foster child of (Fox's real name here) one of the most wealthy men in the city. After a few months of therapy she would learn the secret of the Fox and start training. When The Cub decided that she needed to be her own person and took the name Vixen, she would give her blessing on Emily becoming the new Cub.

 

She still sees her dad every weekend, he was just released on good behavior and has gotten a job, ironically, making deliveries for a local laundromat. He knows that it is his daughters foster father that has gotten him the job and he is thankful. He also realises that the best thing for her is to stay where she is, but he does miss her...

 

Personality: The cub is a mix of exuberant energy, and yet has a dark and serious side to her. The conflict in her created by a loving dad who had to do things he did not want to to support her still weighs heavily on her. She takes special enjoyment in taking down anyone who has led someone else into a life of crime.

 

However she loves crime-fighting, she loves helping those who are less fortunate than she has been, in some ways she understands the plight of those she and the Fox help better than he does, for it was her early life.

 

Tactics: Cub has literally been training to do this for years. She is an expert fencer, a good investigator, and can crack most security systems. Like her mentor she has been taught to out-think not outfight her opponents however.

 

She wears SynthTech body armor designed by the Fox and carries a small group of weapons including a blunted and collapsible Rapier.

 

In combat she will keep moving around, often taunting her opponents until they make a mistake, using her natural speed and grace she will then go for the win.

Is this your homage to Batman & Robin?

[JmOz]

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

With a bit of Zorro thrown in, yes.

[itsalwayssunny]

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

If he is the Fox, shouldn't she be the Kit? I know you can also call a young fox a cub but a kit wouldn't be mistaken for a lion cub, bear cub, etc.

 

I love Zorro. Zorro = fox, is that where you got the name?

[JmOz]

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

Yup, and a lot of story elements (corrupt government, etc...)

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

Blunted Rapier:

I know it is hard to fit "Sword/Rapier" and "CvK" in the same character. On the one had you don't waht to loose the "feel" of having a classical weapon like rapier or sword, on the otehr killing isn't an option.

 

My concept had a magical weapon and I had two ideas of how to combined both worlds with little effort:

1. The rapier delivers some sort of energy (a taser shock; magical damage) taht is nonlethal. All taht is nessesary is to touch the enemy with the blade, mabe make a very shallow cut.

HTH attack vs. Energy, Linked to at least 1 DC of the Rapiers KA (might still be to much for a normal mook).

 

2. The weapon can be used eitehr as normal weapon (dealing HKA vs. PD) or to deliver energy. If in energy mode, it just "passes" through mater but armor/protection can still stop the energy. So the rapier can be use normally agaisnt humans, without fear of killing somebody while still being able to block an attack.

 

There is no implied "looks like a lightsaber" effect.

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

The first opiton is maybe, but the second option is way to high tech for what i intend

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

What do you guys think of the background

[Christopher]

Re: Preview of Street Super Hero Character

 

What do you guys think of the background

Pretty good. Long and detailed. And as other noticed, the mix of Zorro and Batman/Robin/Nightwing shines clearly through.
