BoloOfEarth Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'm once again putting together one of the teams from the Villain Theme Team thread. This time around, it's the Marine Marauders. The team was proposed by death tribble with the members proposed by Cygnia (Njordr, Coral, and Snakehead), csyphrett (Wave Rider), death tribble (Sea Beast and Aquanaut equipment), and myself (Deep Rigg). This is being put together as part of an adventure I'm contributing to the latest Haymaker! APAzine, and the deadline is June 2, so I'm in a minor time crunch. My thanks, by the way, to death tribble, csyphrett, and Cygnia for allowing me to include their character concepts. I'm going to use this thread to post preliminary writeups of the team and members, for suggestions, criticism, and other feedback. While I am more than willing to hear feedback from anybody that wants to post, I'll defer to each of the above posters on their specific characters. (So if JoePoster says Snakehead should have a deadly venomous bite but Cygnia says she wants him to be non-lethal, her word is law.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! I'll start out with the rough draft of the overall team info. I still need to finish the History and Tactics, and completely write the Campaign Use and Plot Seeds, but I wanted to get a feel for the team's origin.

Cygnia Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Bolo, ol' Njordy looks great so far...there probably isn't anything I'd change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Things got busy for the last few days, so I haven't done much with the Marauders. Still, here's a sample of the Marauder agents. I'm guessing the inspiration for two of the them will be fairly blatant, but I just couldn't resist.

BoloOfEarth Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Not sure I could do a good image for Deep Rigg... Yeah, I kinda figured that was a toughie. Thanks, though, and rep for the pic of the Norse god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! By the way, I am very willing to hear any criticisms or suggestions for changes on these characters. So don't hesitate to fire away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! It took me a while to get the right voice for Wave Rider. I'm just hoping I didn't overdo the "surfer dude" bit. As to the writeup, I intentionally restricted him to the water, making him able to work on (actually, above) land with a fair amount of effort.

csyphrett Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! I kind of envisioned Wave Rider's attack to be like a tidal wave, Bolo. Something with area affect or megascale or both. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! I kind of envisioned Wave Rider's attack to be like a tidal wave, Bolo. Something with area affect or megascale or both. CES Ah, my mistake. I thought it was a targeted attack. Well, I can modify him easily enough. How about I make the Change Environment a Megascale, and add an area effect cone attack? Maybe I should modify to put a number of different wave attacks into a Multipower. I'll play around with it and post a revised version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Okay, here's Wave Rider, revised. He's a bit more dangerous now; all of his waves are AoE attacks (one a Line extending from him, the other two are Cones extending from him). If he takes the time and is willing to blow most of his END, he can create a full-fledged tsunami wave, but I don't see him doing that except in an extreme situation. I also made him able to surf along (formerly) dry ground so long as he starts in water, by pushing the water along with him for that phase. Note that if he ends his move on dry ground, however, he's kinda screwed. Just noticed -- his top surfing speed is just shy of 300 mph.

BoloOfEarth Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Here is the first draft of Coral. I've finally found a character for whom a chainmail bikini actually makes sense. I wonder how long it will be before she tries to kick Njörðr aside as team leader...

BoloOfEarth Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Last but certainly not least, here is Snakehead. I had some fun with his Background. Hope you like it. Now I need to add some Plot Seeds for each of them, and then I can post the completed group.

BoloOfEarth Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! And, for ships and giggles*, here is the adventure (U-Who) that will include the Marine Marauders. [ATTACH=CONFIG]43279[/ATTACH] *Yes, I know "ships and giggles" isn't the actual phrase. However (1) this version fits the nautical theme, and (2) I got an infraction when I said it the proper way.

Lawnmower Boy Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Re: The Marine Marauders! Nice work. I should really get a hardcopy so that I can read it when I'm in the ol' porcelain office with the ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
