Sidekick 6E - Base Form

[TheQuestionMan]

Edvard the Einherjar & Astrid the Valkyrie

 

Character Concept: The hardest thing for me about playing Champions/Superheroes is the lack of Resources that Comic Book Superheroes have at their finger tips. How many times have you wanted or needed a Gadgeteer/Inventor to create that device to help defeat the Mastervillain. How many times have you needed a Scientist/Doctor specializing is a subject you need answers for. How many times have you need a better Vehicle or a Base.

 

Now I have tried before to write a Patron into the Campaigns I have run and have my Players in their wisdom runaway from. So this time I thought I might try building a Character who was a Patron and a Champion/Superhero at the same time. Taking a page from the L'Thoth Institute, Goodman Inc., and Iron Man/Batman I present Sidekick (until a better name comes along) This is a complete work in progress.

 

So round one.

I think the answer to the AI question would be under those rules in the main book but my first guess would be as a Follower.

Any plans on what the 2 forms of the Multiform would be and what the explanation is for the assumed loss of so many skill, perks and such?

Re: Sidekick 6E - Base Form

 

Multiform and Hero System 6E requires that the Alternate Forms Pay Character Points for Perks like Followers, Bases, and Vehicles (including Computers too). To put it bluntly I refuse to pay twice for characters points I have already spent.

 

Alternate Form 1 - Astral/Spirit Body (If female this would be the Valkyrie, but as a male he will be an Einherjar (Old Norse "lone fighters")

 

Alternate Form 2 - Will be the the partially manifested in the physical realm Einherjar.

 

Both Alternate Forms share the same conciousness, but with vastly different abilities. The Base Form will be the great great great ancestor of the Einherjar.

 

A DNPC will be his wife a Norn and Valkyrie.

 

Their Spirits survived Ragnarock and were reborn(???) into the modern world.

 

Edvard (Edward) Eriksen and Astrid Karlsen found each other in the 20th century.

nice work TQM

Re: Sidekick 6E - Base Form

 

If I did pay with each Multiform for the Perks then shouldn't I get those points as well towards those Perks?

 

Hmmm... meaning I get even more Followers, Wealth, Bases, and Vehicles???

I don't have Hero Designer (though it is on my to buy list); so, I can not comment on that, but I do agree that more templates for common NPC types would making campaign and adventure design a lot easier.

Re: Sidekick 6E - Base Form

 

Eventually found a way to combine his old skills and newfound abilities. He decided to found a business of superheroes for hire, structured like a law firm, with partners and associates. He called his new team, Heimdall Inc.

 

A criminal mastermind who spent years running the Heroes Inc. while gathering sensitive information about the world's superheroes, whom he considered a threat to the planet. At the same time, he sabotaged Heroes Inc. efforts in order to render the superhero team as ineffectual as possible.

 

Initially, Heroes Inc. was a small business licensed by the state of Michigan which offered a full line of professional investigation and protection services. Heroes Inc. was owned by Riot and La Panthere II. It had offices on Millennial Avenue and two paid employees: Jennifer Waters, the group's secretary and Steve Short, the group's lawyer and business representative. Heroes Inc. would not accept jobs that involved extralegal activities.
