Hero A Day...Sorta...

Re: Hero A Day...Sorta...

 

Now on with another "Interesting" goup. These guys I started making over the weekend. They are mixed archetypes.

 

Right now I am calling them the Sentinals.

Is that Sentinals or SentinEls? This sounds like it is going to be a fun group. I'm looking forward to checking them out.

Appearance: Night Fire wears a black body suit with a black leather jacket over it. Her mask leaves her hair, chin, and mouth free. The jacket has a ring of flames around a black circle on the back. She wears gray belts, gloves, and combat boots.Personality: Night Fire is not quite as grim or violent as some crime fighters with a similar background. More idealistic than most, she uses her powers rather sparingly, preferring the less lethal martial arts maneuvers. Against superhuman foes she breaks out the fire.Quote:"Hide in the shadows all you like, I am the light of justice and you don't stand a chance."Background: When Alice Lawson's mutant powers first appered, she was in a school play. Spontaneously combusting a bush from the set, she caused quite a stir. Her school sent her home. It wasn't for another year that things really got bad. One evening their house was invaded by severel heavily armed men. Demanding that they hand their daughter over, the Lawson's fought back. Mr. Lawson was shot as he rushed the intruders. Alice and her mother ran from the house. They made it to the car but her mother was hit as they drove off. Keeping herself conscious long enough to get Alice to a neighbor's house and call the police, Mrs. Lawson collapsed. She died in the hospital.

Alice was sent to live with her mother's younger brother. Jason Penbrook, a confirmed bachelor, suddenly found himself the father of a stern young girl with precious little joy in her eyes. Surprisingly, Jason rose to the occassion and when Alice graduated high school, she had overcome her grief and managed to live a normal childhood. But she never forgot.

When Alice turned 18, she finally was in control of her inheritance. Jason had invested it for her and had turned into a rather brilliant financial planner.

When Alice went into Criminology, as a college student, Jason worried. He knew about her mutant abilities and worried that she might turn into one of those killer vigilantes he had heard about. Alice had begun training intensely, studying martial arts and other athletic persuits. She confided in her uncle about her plans and although he was against them he told her he would help her however he could. Jason still manages her money and looks after the financial needs of a young crime fighter. After a few years of fighting crime solo, she joined the neophyte Sentinals.

Powers/Tactics: A mutant with the ability to control fire and flame, Night Fire still prefers to get up close and personal, using her martial arts skills. This allows her to cut loose without fear of hurting them permenantly.Campaign Use: If she's too tough, drop her MP to 45 pots and her DC's to 2. If you want her tougher, increase her DEX and CSLs.

Appearance: Tall and comic book beautiful, Nemesis actually looks kinda silly attempting to fade into the background, but she's so used to it that she can seemingly disappear in a crowd. She has long, wavy black hair, blue eyes and a form fitting white costume with a golden belt. The belt has an oversized "N" on the buckle. The tube top has no decoration at all. She wears a golden tiara, arm bands and bracers as well.Personality: Kind-hearted and compassionate, Nemesis is an earnest and willing heroine. Still, she is a shy and self-conscious girl. She worries that she will accidently cause great harm to some of her normal foes, and fears that most superhumans are, like her fellow Olympians, way out of her league. These feelings of inadequacy have slowly began to wane and are not as prevalent as they once were.Quote:"I will never give up."Background: Leanne VanDerwahl is the daughter of Max Vanderwahl, the former German superbeing Maxim and his beloved, the greek "goddess" Nike, who fought crime together as members of UNITY in the 70's . They retired to mount Olympus when it was revealed that Nike was indeed who she claimed to be. Maxim has been granted a vastly extended lifespan by Zues's will and their daughter, raised in olympus, gained their powers. Though she is a physical dynamo on Earth, Leanne was often felt overwehlemed on her native olympus. She was a sensitive young girl and while her father sympathized, her mother (victory at any cost) was often harsh with criticism. Leanne didn't come into her own physically until she was 21. A late bloomer indeed. She was sent to live with her father's older sister in America when she and her mother could no longer be around each other without an argument breaking out. On Earth, Leanne realized that her abilities truely put her in a class by herself. Taking a rather embarassing costume and naming herself after one of the goddesses who treated her kindly, Leanne became Nemesis.Powers/Tactics: A brick with a few tricks up her sleeve. Nemesis is a physical dynamo and quite skilled in combat. Her brick tricks require her Strength Skills because she tends to panic in combat.Campaign Use: A brick with a differing personality than most. IF she's too tough scale back her brick tricks to none. If she's in need of toughness, raise her STR Tricks skill to better represent her confidence.

Height: 1.88 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 94.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Tall and well built. He looks something like a cross between a martial artist and a warrior hero from fantasy novels. Wearing golden plate armor over his upper torso, wrists, thighs, and feet, a short purple cape and a golden head band to keep his long hair out of his eyes. When not in uniform he dresses in comfortable, casual clothes and has a habit of wearing muscle shirts.

Personality: Jaques is a warrior and full of bravado. He still wants to kill Empress Ishtanna V'han; but he since her last appearance was almost a year ago, she's fallen from his radar. He enjoys being a superhero and battling supervillains. He is awed my Menton and wishes to face the powerful mentalist in one on one combat. This is beginning to border on obsession and it won't bode well for Soul Warrior when he does meet his "rival"Quote:"Well come on then, taste the might of the Soul Warrior."Background: In the countless dimensions owned by the conquerer, Isthana V'Han, lies a battle rage earth realm. The remaining warriors, men and women given psionic powers by Albert Zerstoiten and Dr. Poe in a last ditch effort to replentish the superbeings who perished by the thousands keeping the world safe, were turned into slaves. Their descendants destroyed the entire dimension in an attempt to rid the multiverse of the Empress. Taking a few years to lick her wounds from the 'set back', Isthana turned to her "souveniers" from that lost Earth; a few psionic warriors who swore loyalty to her in order to spare their lives. These warriors were transformed into gladiators, killing themselves for her pleasure. She made sure to breed them with even more loyal psis to create a stronger cadre of warrior. The Gladiator sport was popular among her regents. Jacques DuPree was a fifth generation gladiator. He had watched his father and mother die when they no longer had the strength or speed to compete. Jaques was a skilled warrior and he impressed the regent. When word came through that the Empress herself, would be attending the next Arena celebration, Jaques was prepped for battle. Jaques, however had a better idea. He was going to kill the Empress and free countles civilizations. The fact that he had no hope of surviving the attack meant nothing to him if he succeeded.

When the day came he won the tourney and was presented to the Empress and her Regent. Seconds before he threw his life away in a foolish gambit, he overheard the Empress complain that a dimension had actually resisted her. On two occasions yet. The Empress of a Million Dimensions set back? Jaques wanted desperately to see this world. He approached confidently and begged the Empress to let him accompany her on her next foray into this Earth Realm. His bravado apparently impressed her and she had him transferred to her palace. Jaques played it cool. He had never lived in such luxury! It was easy to avoid the Empress and mainatin the facade of loyalty. When she next attempted to conquer Champions Earth, Jaques simply dissappeared. He found himself in Millennium City, contacting the Champions, he told them his story. They helped him establish his own identity here on Earth - C; he eventually left Millenium City and found himself in New York (Where his mother's family had been from). He joined the Sentinels shortly after his arrival.

Powers/Tactics: A mentalist with impressively potent abilities, he has honed his psionic mastery for battle. He's abit of a show off. He likes to fight hand to hand if possible; using either his TK Sword and/or his Exoskeleton and his martial arts. He backs off and uses his mental abilities if the situation calls for it. He has become a decent teammate working with his fellows to take their foes out quickly and efficiently Campaign Use: Bad ass Mentalist. He act's like a Gladiator. If he's too bad ass for you, drop his Multipower to 60 pts. If you want to make him tougher up it to 120 pts.

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 75.00 kg	Eyes: Blue

Appearance: Keith is better looking than he thinks he is, he has an athletic build, strong features and a rather intense stare. His eyes are blue and his hair is brown. He is clean shaven, when he acts as Virtual Dragon he summons a costume that appears to be a a black silk kung fu uniform with a golden sash, golden full contact armor on his hands, golden combat boots on his feet, He wears a golden mask that covers the top of his head, but leaves his mouth and nose uncovored. The back of the costume is adorned with a golden dragon outline. He glows with a soft golden light when his "armor" is active.Personality: Keith is barely treading water here. He has had his world view pretty much shattered in the last few years. He suspects Sifu Chen used magic fused with technology to transform him from an overweight non-athlete to a superhuman. He has faced off against things he didn't think existed, battled along side costumed heroes and even met the woman of his dreams. Its been a roller coaster ride and he is still unsure that he has what it takes to defend the world from the Death Dragon. He tries to hide this behind bravado and what he hopes is zen sounding quotes and sound bites. Quote:"Enter the clutches of the Dragon, but don't let your defeat get you down."Background: Keith Lee was a computer programmer and hopless geek. He had always been a fan of martial arts. He loved movies, anime, comics, video games, and rpgs about martial arts. He had studied Karate for almost six months once too. His obsession with the fantastic world of oriental mystecism is what drew him to a MMORPG called Dragons of Thunder. It was there that he got encounterd Sifu Chen. Sifu Chen told Keith that he had a destiny beyond the game. A warrior would be needed in the real world. One that would face the Death Dragon. Keith was that warrior. Although he had his doubts, Keith followed Sifu Chen's directions and found himself in a warehouse with a single chair and VR helmet. The monitors surrounding the chair were blank. Keith, curious beyond measure, put the helmet on. Instantly, the world changed and he stood face to face with an older, sterner man, the man announced himself as Sifu Chen and launched into an attack on Keith. Amazingly, Keith managed to parry or dodge the strikes, he backed away as the older man approached. "The Death Dragon comes!" He shouted, "You are one of the warriors of fate! You have are one of the five warriors with the greatest chance to defeat the dragon!"

"What are you talking about?" Keith shouted back, despite his seeming skill at defense he was afraid for his life.

"We haven't much time." Sifu Chen stopped his assault as suddenly as he had started it.

 

Keith spent the next four years training. It was an intense ordeal, yet as far as he knew all he was doing was sitting in a chair with a VR helmet on. His body slowly became a weapon, his skills improved every day and soon he was able to access "Power ups" as he called them, abilities to counter the special attacks of Sifu Chen. How the virtual training was allowing him to fight in the real world he had know idea, but it was happening. Summoning a costume one afternoon, Keith began his career as the Virtual Dragon, video game martial artist extrordinaire. He joined the Sentinels just a few months ago.

Powers/Tactics: Even without his "Special Abilities" pool, Keith is a potent martial artist. He is skilled in the Thunder Dragon Kung Fu style developed by monks in China hundreds of years ago. Due to the neccessary speed in which he was trained, his grasp of the art is imperfect. If he encounters a true master of the style he will be in a bit of trouble. He often uses his SA pool for "finishing" strikes.Campaign Use: A top tier athlete and martial artist. He is a bit tougher than normal for a martial artist, if you want to tone him down make his "Virtual Dragon Skin" power damage resistance rather than armor. You can drop his Special Abilities pool as well but this really takes away from the character. If you want to make him tougher? Increase the pool.

Height: 1.73 m	Hair: Red
Weight: 52.00 kg	Eyes: Green

Appearance: Steelheart's armor is "girlie". Her father, not a brilliant designer, never the less managed to make a distinctly feminine suit of powered armor. It is lighter, sleeker, and metallic hot pink. The torso is white with a heart shaped variable beam blaster in the chest, the arms, legs, and midrift are metallic hot pink, the shoulders, boots, and guantlets are white. The helmet apears to be a sculpted female face in white with with a golden helm and pink "hair". Penelope her self takes after her mother with red hair, green eyes, and an easy smile. She looks alot more serious these days and doesn't dress as trampy as she used to, but her clothes still have style and still show off her hard won figure.Personality: Although she was once a frivolous, spoiled and conceited little brat, Penelope has forced herself to become a heroine. Steelheart is noble, honest, and brave. In her private life, Penelope has given up her partying ways and now donates time and money to charities and helping her mother overcome the scars of her abduction and the loss of Donald. Quote:"Don't you dare say 'Who's yer daddy'!"Background: Penelope Bryce is a legacy heroine. Her father was the Steel Guardian, a powered armor hero of the 80's and 90's who retired to to focus on running his businesses at the start of the New Millennium. He passed his secrets and legacy on to his daughter, hoping that she would carry on his name. At first she resisted; Penelope wasn't the genius her father was, she was also spoiled, headstrong, and more than a little elitist. The idea of being famous appealed to her, but not in a stuffy suit of armor where no one could see her. Dismayed by his daughter's reluctance to carry on the family tradition, Donald Bryce instead entrusted his friend and business partner Jake Stone with the secret and legacy. Stone became the second Steel Guardian, wearing an updated suit. Things seemed fine for the first few months, but then Jake began displaying undesirable tendancies. Steel Guardian was becoming more violent and less concerned with the public. He grandstanded other heroes and often used the Steel Guardian identity to make a quick buck. Feeling concerned for his legacy, Donald began creating a new suit; this one for his daughter. He felt if he didn't design it for himself, Jake wouldn't become suspicious. He was wrong. Jake was beside himself with fury when he discovered a new battlesuit was being built. He accused Donald of betraying their trust. Donald countered that Penelope had decided to become a heroine after all and he simply wanted to help her. Jake stormed out of the workshop after telling Donald he had make a "big mistake".

Steel Guardian dropped out of sight for a while and Donald completed his daughter's armor, it was (in his mind) more in line with what she would want, streamlined, feminine, and a bit more colorful. Penelope was impressed with the suit, but still didn't want to give up partying and being a socialite to fight crime and risk her life against evil like her father had.

Then Jake returned, the Steel Guardian attacked Donald's workshop and thrashed the place looking for the new armor. Donald refused to tell him where it was. Jake struck his former friend and repeated his demands. Donald told him to go to hell. Jake then told Donald that he'd paid a 'visit' to Donald's house before coming and if he didn't show him where the armor was, he'd never see his wife again.

In a rage, Donald Bryce pulled a blaster from his jacket and shot Jake. The blast was meant to fry the armor's circuitry, but Jake merely laughed it off, explaining that ARGENT had found that weakness when he'd turned the suit over to them. He turned the armor's particle cannon on Donald, vaporizing him just as Penelope had returned from her "test flight".

In a rage, Penelope attacked her father's murderer. Her armor's weapons systems not yet having been activated, she was at a clear disadvantage. She barely escaped, using her suit's superior maneuverability to avoid the Steel Guardian's weapon fire. Instinctively heading home she found it destroyed and her mother missing. Using her suit's communications gear to alert the local superteam to Steel Guardian's crimes, she lead him on a mouse chase until they arrived. With their help she freed her mother from his clutches and turned him over to the police.

Penelope felt horrible, her father had only turned to Jake after she had spurned his request. In this regard she was responsible for Jake getting the armor and thus her father's death. Vowing to honor her father's legacy at long last, she began taking electronics and mechanics courses at the local university. With the help of a DVD of instructions her father had left her, she unlocked the weapons of her battle suit. Taking the name Steelheart (Jake has sullied the Steel Guardian name) she began her long road to (in her eyes) redemption.

Powers/Tactics: Steelheart has a cutting edge battle suit. A suit of weapons and a series of sensors and communications devices. Her father was truely looking out for her safety and the suit is designed to be highly manueverable and well protected. Though she has improved with training, Steelheart is still green and far from the genius her father was. Campaign Use: A dime store powered armor heroine. If you want her to be less powerful drop her DEX and SPD and her DEF to the mid range for the campaign, if she's not tough enough increase her weapons multipower to 75+ pts.

Height: 2.00 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 204.00 kg	Eyes: Black

Appearance: Tall and very muscular. He is built like a "big" brick. His skin is a dark blue with black hair, white teeth and black eyes. He wears a white body suit that is practically skin tight, no sleeves, black boots, belt and fingerless gloves. He wears no mask. When he wants to get away he uses an Image Inducer that allows him to look human. Personality: The Outsider is a man with a new lease on life. He's trying to come to grips with his past while making the most of his future. Being superhumanly powerful helps; he gets to play the hero, enjoy the spotlight and help his fellow man, and at the same time enjoy a sense of anonymity that your average blue skinned humanoid might not have. Quote:"Your Earthly battle customs confuse and frighten me. I am a simple other dimensional being. Damn, I miss Phil Hartman."Background: "What does this button do, doc?"

And with those words, research assistant Perry Quartermain disappered from this reality. The prototype teleporter scramled his atoms and sent them packing for parts unknown.

Almost a year to the day, a muscular, blue-skinned man with wavy black hair appeared naked in the middle of down town Millennium City. After a briefly violent encounter with the Champions, he was peacefully detained in the local PRIMUS facility.

 

"I'm Perry Quartermain." He repeated for the eleventh time.

"Perry Quartermain died a year ago in a lab accident." Agent Ashley Rose told him.

"No I didn't" the Blue Man said.

"Your fingerprints don't match, your height, weight, hair color, eye color, skin color, blood type, and genetic samples don't match."

"Well; I've been changed by the accident."

"Where were you for the last year."

"I don't know, the last thing I remember was pressing the button. Don't you think it's odd that the activation button for the teleporter was on the transport platform itself?"

"Why did you press the button?"

"..."

"Look," He said at length, "Let me call my family, if I can convince them that I am who I am will you believe me?"

"Perry's parents died in a car accident last January."

The Blue Man stared at her. He couldn't believe it.

"What were they doing together? My parents divorced when I was nine."

"Coming home from your - Perry's funeral."

 

"What is your name?"

"Adam Jones." The Blue Man said quietly.

"Good" here is your new social security number, and driver's license. You passed the test."

The Blue Man, Adam, took the license and looked at it. A whole new life. It was kind of nice in a way. He didn't have to face his family. He had superpowers and would soon be joining Millennium City's legions of costume crime fighters. The pain of his life ending was beginning to numb. He would be okay. Today, and for the rest of his life, he would be known as Adam Jones, The Outsider.

Powers/Tactics: The Outsider tends to rely on his "Brick" powers, his Teleportation is tiring and his energy control is too destructive for his tastes. Campaign Use: If he's too tough, eliminate the Energy Control powers (even the Damage Reduction) if he's not tough enough, add other weird powers or increase his Brick Nature.

Appearance: Jeff is a well built caucasian man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a lean physique. His "costume" is a VIPER Elite BCU in blue with gold trim. His faceplate is reflective gold. Personality: A loyal man to VIPER, Jeff enjoys his status as "Supercriminal" he has been given a unique uniform and membership into the prestigeous superhuman division. He gets along with most of his fellow costumed criminals as he tends to defer to those with actual super powers. He and Armstrong get along really well and they often spar, Jeff has learned alot about fighting the "capes" from his training with Armstrong.Quote:"I won't let you pass."Background: A VIPER agent for nearly six years before he won a VIPER sponsored martial arts tournament, Jeff "Snakebite" Davidson, was finally noticed by the right VIPER commander and transferred to their advanced training center in Eastern Europe. He left the school, as Naga and was transferred to the Dragon Branch. He isn't a supervillain per se, more often than not he is assigned as a "personal assistant" and bodyguard to important VIPER officials when they travel. He has faced actual costumed adventurers in his carrer, notably Green Dragon and Nighthawk of the Champions. He has over looked by both as nothing but a "mook" and gave them each an unexpected beating. They both seek out the "Blue Snake" for a rematch.Powers/Tactics: A skilled practitioner of Krav Maga, a no nonsense martial art. Jeff has very impressive physical characterisitcs but he is simply a highly trained normal man with a VIPER Elite BCU and helmet. He has no "mystical" abilities, but his training has given him the ability to react in combat to the unexpected. He has peaked physically and experience should be spent on DC's, CSL's, and maybe a new weapon or two.Campaign Use: A superhero class agent. Naga shouls give heroes a bit of pause before they think they can simply walk over VIPER agents. If he's too tough, lower his stats to more normal agent levels. If you want to toughen him up, give him 2-3 more DC's with his martial arts and some more Combat Skill Levels. Then give him some more gadgets (grenades, force field belt, etc.)

Actually, Vorsch I would use him like a Crimson Guard in SW. A trap as Enforcer suggests. He is a singular entity used to confuse and trip up the heroes as they are just expecting the agents to crumple.

Sure, he's superhero level, but he dresses pretty much like an agent. He is simply as dedicated a martial artist as Nighthawk. Lightly armored and a knife. He act's like an agent but he can fight the big boys.

Appearance: A handsome man of slightly below average height with a sturdy, muscualr build. He wears a black costume with silve trim and a black cloak also with a silver linging at its end. (Inspired by Storn Cook's Archangel commission for Richard Logue)...Personality: Become a master criminal. He wants to run Millennium City. He is arrogant and overconfident. He demand perfection in himself and his agents. Quote:"I knew you'd say that." Background: Raul Perez was always a dreamer. He knew that he'd be famous one day. That was the last time he was wrong about anything. When he turned 14 he began having visions. These snippets often told him of future events. Seemingly overnight he went from a poor inner city youth to an up and coming crime figure. He studied martial arts and various legitimate and illegitimate trades as he slowly put together a nice resume as a super powered criminal. Then he turned his attention to forming his own gang. Things seemingly are falling into place for Raul; he has been having rather troubling dreams of late however.Powers/Tactics: The ability to see the future. Master Destiny has developed plenty of combat oriented uses for his powers and backs them with his exotic weaponry. Campaign Use: Crime lord. Use as is.

Appearance: A moderatly handsome youth with long, wild, black hair that he wears pulled back in a pony tail most of the time. His enchanted kendo armor is blue cloth with black boots, gloves, mask, and chest guard. His sword is wooden with a leather wrap. Personality: A modern day warrior; Kendo fights honorably and expects his opponents to do the same. Justin never really studied bushido and his code of honor takes alot from movies and books. He is a lecherous young man and his inability to disbelieve what beautiful women tell him gets him into trouble all the time. Quote:"This will be a painful lesson for you." Background: Justin isn't sure how he became the bearer of such power. But, every night for four years his dreams were the same. A blue haired youth, only about thirteen years of age with a samurai top knot calling himself Musashi, would force him to don kendo armor and then beat the living snot out of him with a wooden sword. The worst part about it was the fact that he woke up every morning sore and bruised. His parents were very worried about him. One night Musashi told Justin he had taught him all he could and that another master would be training him from here. Justin spent another two years getting punched out by a sensai Tomo. The last night he had any training dreams, the two masters told him that he had been chosen to defend Earth from an evil Oni (or goblin), whose name translated into the Blade Goblin.

Justin went off to college to study medicine but never forgot his weird dreams. One afternoon, when he was practicing his karate, a horrible purple light shot down from the sky, out poured hundreds then thousands of what could only be described as goblins. The invasion of Earth had begun! Racing towards the column of light he suddnely found himself wearing the kendo armor he had worn training in his dreams. In his hand a finely crafted wooden sword with carvings of dragons on the "Blade". Darting through the hoards of goblins, he suddnely found himself face to face with a gigantic, eight foot tall goblin carrying a huge sword. The goblin's sword was unnaturally wide and heavy but he used it as if it was perfectly balanced. Challinging the goblin to one on one combat for the fate of the Earth, Justin triumphed.

Then he awoke in a park. It was an ordinary day. The sun shone and children played.

Perhaps it had never happened. He stood up, and to his left was the wooden sword. He picked it up and stared at it.

"I will return" he heard the Blade Goblin say behind him.

Whirling around, Justin was again clad in his armor with his sword at the ready. But there was nothing there.

Bizzare as this all sounds, that is what Kendo claims his origin to be.

And he should know.

Powers/Tactics: Leaping from some martial art's anime, Kendo is a skilled martial artist, physically capable, wears enchanted armor and runs very fast and jumps very high. His enchanted armor and weapon are seemingly indestructible and he can summon them at any time.Campaign Use: As is.

Appearance: Think a less homely version of Marvel's Rhino. Silverhorn is a tall and massively built man who would cause quite a stir in a world not populated by superbeings. He has cropped blonde hair and blue eyes. His costume is a black body suit with silver chest, shoulder, and head gear. His boots and guantlets are silver as well. The horns on his helm are chrome.

Personality: A straight forward hero, Silver horn is a my answer to Ben Grimm, a blue collar, heroic man who is far more normal than his sitiation normally allows. He still has a loving family, good friends, the fiancee couldn't deal with his paralysis and left him but he's better off with out her anyway. The only real chink in his armor is children. His reputation as a defender of the innocent has been used against him by more than one fiend who endangered children in an attempt to lure Silverhorn into a trap or force his surrender. He has on each of those occassions made said villain very very sorry for thier actions.Quote:"Oh great, another cosmic evil from beyond the veil of space and time. Just how many of you guys are there anyway?"

Background: Derek Keel was a nomal guy. He enjoyed his job as a contractor, had a fiancee, a supportive family, and good friends. On a river rafting trip to Oregon for his vacation one year, he was knocked from the raft by a rock and paralyzed. The accident happened about the same time a certain Dr Ludwig Haug was developing a process to regenerate nerve tissue, giving those paralyzed a new lease on life. He asked Derek to be his test subject and Derek agreed. The process worked amazingly well. Derek regained use of his legs within three weeks. By four months, however, he had grown a foot taller, weighed almost 300 lbs, and could now heft his truck. Dr Haug was not entirely pleased, he had intended to help cure the sick, he had no intentions of "raising an army of supermen", as he put it. The two stayed close and Derek checks with the doctor annually to help him with his studies. Seeing that his newfound strength and resiliance could be put to better use than simply making him the "ultimate construction worker". Derek reached into his childhood love of Rhinocerouses (he'd loved the zoo as a kid), and came up with the Silverhorn identity. Early in his career, Silverhorn was seriously beaten by an enraged Monster as the beast attempted to destroy a school bus of children. Though he was eventually knocked unconscious, Silverhorn held the Monster off long enough for other heroes to arrive. A film crew caught the battle on tape and Silverhorn was made an instant celebrity. A bronze statue of him has been errected at the school the children in question attended.

Powers/Tactics: A large, powerful man with superhuman strength, limited superhuman speed and a specially designed helmet that allows him to make devistating charging attacks. He's kind of a one trick pony; but he's effective. Campaign Use: If Silverhorn is too much for your campaign, drop is STR to 50 and his DEF to 25 each. If you want to toughen him up. Increase his HA to 8d6, give him a little damage reduction for impact protection and increase his running speed.

Hey, Enforcer... would you be interested in ever doing some subcontract work for the GGU?

What do you need?

Re: Hero A Day...Sorta...

 

What do you need?

 

In the Guardians I have, as my Viperish super-criminal agency, Tarot, based on something Bob Surbrook thought up and developed with his permission.

 

This agency has a team of high-powered (500 - 1000 point) villains, all based on cards in the Major Arcana of a Tarot deck. I've got writeups for most of them, but not for all, and I am coming up empty on those few.

 

You're one of the most prolific character builders I know, not to mention one of the more creative, so I came to you, just to see if you're interested.

Sure; I loved Surbrooks "Stuff" on tarot. Which cards are you looking for?

Sure; I loved Surbrooks "Stuff" on tarot. Which cards are you looking for?

 

Death

The Hermit

Luna

Priestess

Tower

Wheel of Fortune

 

I don't really have any pre-conceived themes or concepts for any of them, except there is a sort of "verbal tradition" that Tower is a growth-based brick. You may feel free to do as you please.

 

The only other requirement is the general point level (as already detailed), and that the following disadvantages be used on all three:

 

25 Hunted by the Global Guardians 11 or less

25 Hunted by Checkmate 11 or less

20 Monitored by Tarot 14 or less

 

If you need information on my version of Tarot, here's a link to the appropriate page on the Guardians website.
