Monster Hunter - New recruit

[Icarium]

I'm staring to work on a character based on some of my own background, it's a slow process as I'm still newish to the HERO System, but I'd love to see how others would build a neophyte MHI Employee...

Re: Monster Hunter - New recruit

 

Here's the basics for 'Jarhead', just need to actually build the character now.

 

My thought is to build 'Jarhead' pre MHI recruitment

 

Jarhead had a 'normal' childhood, started fishing and hunting with his father and uncles at an early age. Jarhead enjoyed sports throughout his Senior High years, playing football, baseball and volleyball. He also worked at a fast food restaurant during High School and while he had to work for it did graduate with 'Honors'. After High School Jarhead enlisted in the USMC, served an eight year contract and saw combat during the first Gulf War. After releasing from active duty Jarhead worked at a retail store and attended a local community college pursuing degrees in education and philosophy before his monster encounter and recruitment into M.H.I.

Re: Monster Hunter - New recruit

 

Cool layout. How did you put the box around the movement names, like Running and such?

It was a cut and paste from a HD3 html template.

 

A couple of questions for anyone familiar with Martial Arts...

1) Does it make sense to take both the Basic Strike and Offensive Strike?

2) At the end of Grappling Throw it states "Must Follow Grab" so I'm assuming that he'll need the Standard Combat Maneuver Grab as well if he wants to be able to use Grappling Throw on someone?

As I understand it, that can be any Grab - the Standard Manuever (which everyone gets free) or any Martial Manuever with a "Grab" element.
