Unfortunately, no... much to my chagrin every attempt I've made to acquire Hero Designer has come to naught.

Height: 1.70 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 70.00 kg	Eyes: Blue

Appearance: A handsome young man who is average size, even on the thin side. He wears a green bodysuit wth darker green gloves and boots, golden yellow trunks and belt. His face mask covers his entire head and has two bulbous yellow eyes. Personality: An ernest young man with a heroic outlook and a dreamer's heart. He's my silver age sendoff, a cross between Frog-man and Spiderman.Quote:"Let the girl go Ankylosaur. It'll be easier for you if you do. I mean you already have to tell the crooks in Stronghold you got beat up by a guy in a frog-suit."

Background: Ricky Reece loved two things growing up; superheroes and frogs. Thus it was only natural that when he grew older and worked at Crucible Industries, that he would attempt to create a superserum based on amphibian genomes. His success in the matter would never be found while he worked for CI. Unable to convince his superiors about the "Frog-man" formula's validity, he ended up being reassigned as an assistant to their "Fighting Tiger" program. Unwilling to give up on his ideas, Ricky created his formula on his own time with resources out of his own paycheck. His attention to detail and determination payed off and the formula was completed. Ricky knew from the moment he had begun that he would be the test subject and after a nasty three week illness where his body adapted to the biochemical genesplicing formula, he exhibited the superhuman powers he had theorized. Gaining the powers of a humanoid amphibian, he left CI and began working at a vetrinary science facility. At night, he donned a colorful costume and fought crime as the Astonishing Amphibian. Powers/Tactics: Bitten by a radioactive frog...oh wait, that's not it.

Amphibian is superhumanly strong and fast. He is skilled in the martial art of Savate (it appealled to his sense of humor) and has a number of useful if not exciting abilities, such as the ability to cling to vertical serfaces, breathe water and leap and swim very fast. He also found that he can induce temporary further mutations in his body by injesting a mutatgen of his own creation. The effects last for 24 hours at most, but it allows him to give himself "superfrog" abilities taylored to his cases.

Campaign Use: A capable single hero to add to temproary teams or simply meet on the street.

Her hair is white marble, and still acts like hair, her eyes are a deep emerald green and her skin has the color and sheen of polished black marble. She wears her hair long and it now reaches the small of ther back. Being immune to temperature extremes, she tends to wears whatever clothing suits her personal tastes at the time; often flowing skirts (with bike shorts underneath in case she has to fight) and bikini tops. She wears a gold band hin her hair, on her left arm, and silver bracers on her wrists. She never wears shoes anymore.Personality: Adrianna is the mother hen of the group. Her elemental nature has made her stubborn and slow to change her mind. She also really enjoys combat now; particuarly against men. Not because she dislikes men, but because they tend to react so badly to being bested by a woman. Her religious beliefs and her elemental nature have made it difficult for her to find romance, but she doesn't seemed to terribly concerned with that at the moment. Being a superhero is a kick, and she has become alot more outgoing of late.Quote:"Let's Rock."

"Gaia, lend me your strength."

Background: Adrianna Snowden had magic in her blood. Her father was a member of the Trismegistus Council and she had been raised to respect magic and its applications; to use it to better mankind and battle the corrupting influences of DEMON, the Circle of the Scarlet Moon, and others. Adrianna's childhood was rich with wonder and play. Her father, who had travelled much in his youth, managed to convince several of his friends form around the world to look into settling down in the same town, making something of a mytstic neighborhood; an area they could go about their studies and duties with out constant vigilance to the outside world. Adrianna had several friends who shared her interests in magic (though her worship of Gaia was something she did alone, it had been handed down by her grandmother) and they grew up to be as close as sisters. Aiko was the brilliant one, it was believed that she would become a member of the council. Brianne was the gifted one, an artist who actually had managed to learn rituals at the tender age of 11. Gabrielle was the enthusiastic one, she charged into whatever plans they made with gusto. Adrianne was the oldest, she protected everyone.

When they attented Woodland, a liberal arts college near Oxford, Maine, Aiko found a ritual in a book she bought at a rare bookstore. The four girls thought the idea of summoning elemental spirits was dangerous, exciting, and eminently appealing. Waiting until graduation, they spent two years planning the ritual. Deciding that they needed to do the ritual in a natural setting, one that was both beautiful and secluded, they "road tripped" to Montana, and rented a cabin in the mountains.

Although they never have revealed the extent of what happened during the ritual, the girls returned home a week later...changed. Adrianna had become a polished statue of a woman, strong and durable; Aiko had become a spirit of the water, flexible and versitile to the extreme, Brianne had become a wind spirit, beautiful, but capable of raging storms; and Gabrielle had embraced the fire spirit, enchanting, passionate, excitable. The four decided that their powers (which were great indeed) should be put to good use. They pooled their money and bought the land the cabin had been on, it turned out to be right on a gold vein. Hiring a few locals, they mined the vein and Aiko invested the dividends. The girls moved back to the east coast and bought an old manor house about 30 miles from Oxford (they had grown to love the area during college). Now they work as Heroines as well as doing "public" works for the Trismegistus Council, allowing the council to be active in the area but maintaining its secrecy.

Powers/Tactics: Being composed of stone has made Adrianna very strong and tough. She ranks among the sturdiest of heroes. Her "Brick Tricks" have been picked up quickly and it is believed that many of them might be more of an extension of her elemental nature than simply applied strength. She can take a beating and often acts as the front line for the Elementelles. She does however lament being the slowest.Campaign Use: If she's too tough for your campaign. Lower her FInal STR to 60 and her CON to 30 (along with the drop in figured characteristics) and reduce the number or eliminate entirely, her Brick Tricks Multipower. If she need toughening up raise her DEF to 40 and final STR to 80. Possibly increase the Brick Trick pool to 90.

She often sees herself as the star in one of the magical girl mangas she read as a girl. At the ripe old age of 25 she hasn't seemed to lost that much of her inner child. When acting as Naiad or in the board room she is cool and sharp as a tack.Quote:"Looks like your ship isn't coming in."Background: Aiko Kusanagi always wanted to be a superhero. She was brilliant, and had intended to study magic and become Arcanna, the Heroic Sorceress! She'd designed her costume, studied martial arts, and practiced magic almost daily. By the time she was thirteen she had also become obsessed with economics. When she attended Woodland College, she got a degree in Business Management with a minor in Accounting. It was Aiko that managed to peice together the ritual of spirit summoning. She eagerly joined the others in the trip to Montanna.

When they had received super powers she was slightly disappointed that Arcanna, the Heroic Sorceress was not going to become her future, but the Naya, sultry Nymph of the Waves and commander of the very element of water appealed to her. She invested thier money and proved to be a "Wizard" at investing. She oversees Elemental Industries; their holding company, in her spare time.

Her baby brother Ido has followed in her footsteps hoping to become a superhero. Adding magical training to his extensive Karate training he has been contemplating a heroic identity. She worries about him as he's "only" 18; and has been watching his activities closely. Her parents are very proud of their children and actually encourage them in their heroic endeavors.

Powers/Tactics: Able to command and summong vast quantities of water from the moisture around her, Naiad can create many spectacular effects. She prefers to not transform into water because it severely crimps her combat ability.Campaign Use: If she's too tough, drop her MP pool to 60 pts, and lose the martial arts. If you want to toughen her up or make her more versitile, increas the pool to 120 pts make the slots multis and increase her overal DEF to 20.

She wears a winged tiara and heavy blue and white robes tied at her waist with a silver silken rope-like belt. She has silver runes on her robes.Personality: Still the hothead, Brianne now sees herself as a modern day Valkyrie. She chose the name Ishtar because that sky goddess was also a war goddess. She has little patience for those who seek to improve their lot in life through the harm of others. Her code of honor is based on the chivalric codes, she is merciful when asked, treats both men and women with respect, takes no unfair advantage in combat (unless her opponent has proven dishonorable), and holds herself to higher standards of behavior in most cases.Quote:"Go away."Background: Brianne Weis is the daughter of two gifted magicians. The firestarter of the group, she had always seen it as her place to protect the weak. When she atteneded the local school she spent alot of time in the principal's office for fighting, she couldn't simply stand by and watch someone puick on a younger or weaker student and get away with it. In an attempt to better control her anger, she studied fencing, hoping the discipline required would help her keep a reign on her emotions. She might have gone on to be a superheroine in the vein of Witchcraft if she hadn't been granted the elemental Air aspect in a ritual years ago. But She was and as a result her magics have suffered from disuse. Brianne has always been gifted. She was a gifted user of magic and has displayed similar ease with adjusting to her powers and abilities. As Ishtar, the Sky Goddess, she is the team's transport and speed specialist.Powers/Tactics: Fast, agile, and did we mention fast? Ishtar prefers to fight at a distance because even with her air shields she isn't the most well defended of the team. However, she carries the sword for more than decorative reasons and will occasionally go toe to toe with another swordsman.Campaign Use: If she's too tough, cut the MP to 62 pts, the elemental control should be dropped to 60 pt range (except the flight, leave it alone). If you want to improve her power, crank the MP to 90-120 pts. Add some armor and martial arts maneuvers to represent her sword skill.

Her costume consists of a red "sports bra" with gold trim, and billowy gold pants with red flames on the side and a red sash. She wears no mask since her "Flame Aura" distorts her features enough to keep her identity secret.

When acting in a civilian manner she wears modern fashions on the revealing side (she is immune to temperature extremes) often in red, pink, gold, or orange. She also wears contact lenses that color her eyes green rather than their natural red. Her hair is long and wavy.

Personality: Like her elemental nature, Gabrielle is a passionate, seductive, energetic, and dangerous. She has little or no concept of fear and will jump right into almost any activity. She is the least successfull of the four in regards to her mystic studies so her powers are even more important to her as it puts her on the same level as her friends (she had always felt a little out of place amongst them).Quote:"I call this my Fire Lotus! Look at its dangerous bloom!"

"Ohhh! Nightwind! *sigh*"

Background: Gabirelle was always an energetic child. The wild instigater of her circle of friends growing up, she pointed the direction and they follwowed, as long as Adrianna was on board. When they transformed themselves into the Elementelles, Gabrielle became the embodiment of fire and flame. In their subsequent adventures she has had the twin headaches of 1) cold/water using villains seeking to "Snuff" her flames, and powerful male fire using villains seeking her as a bride. Ironically, she and Icicle have a unique relationship. They fight as a super heroine and villainess would fight, but they also both pine for the handsome hero Nightwind. The two have made the rivalry alot friendlier over the last year and a half, but they each have a job to do and won't let their budding friendship get in the way.Powers/Tactics: Tremendous control over fire and flame. She can be airborne and often is. Unlike Aiko or Adrianne, she has no reason to go hand to hand agianst anyone.Campaign Use: If she's too tough for your campaignl lower her attack multipower and drop her the attacks from her Elemental Control. If she's not tough enough, raise the MP to 90+ pts

Re: Wednesday 05/05/2004

 

Well that was fun. The Elementelles look alright, but I wanted to use seasonal or elemental art for them I just couldn't find any that I liked and I wasn't thrilled with my attempts. I don't think that COH character generator will replace my art over the long haul though.

 

I must say that I have liked alot of the ideas I have seen there though.

The next group of characters which should catch me up to current date (I am six days behind) and then some is a fully developed character that came out of one of my sleep narrations. (I often create characters while I lie awake in bed)

Height: 2.02 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 175.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Unusually tall and muscular, Burden stands out in a crowd even without his superhero costume. He has short blonde hair and brown eyes. His build is massively muscular, with slightly oversized hands and feet. The new costume is rather simple, gray body suit, full face mask, black trunks, boots, and gloves. His chest symbol is an open hand. It is red.

Personality: Burden is a pretty regular guy. He wasn't a world beater as a villain but he was a credible threat, street smart and a decent thinker. He has changed for the better, and plans to spend the rest of his life as the hero he feels he should have been in the first place. Although it might have alot to do with the guilt he feels for his part in the Protector's death, Chris can't get Irina Wilson out of his mind. He is haunted by her beauty and kind words at his trial. He thinks he's in love with her. He also feels a debt to her young son, Patrick who is only 22 months old.

Chris holds a special loathing in his heart for the Defilers, and the man who replaced him in their ranks. To his mind they are the worst kind of evil and although he knows they would kill him if they ever encountered eachother, he yearns to find a group of heroes to help him take them down but good.

Quote:"Here, let me help you."Background: He had to wonder why being a super villain had been so appealing to him at one point. Chris looked back on his life; the hard times with his folks, the death of his sister, his mutant powers awakening. Sure, he had idolized superheroes as a kid, but the world was tough and he had to be tougher. With the IHA on his back, his parents rejection of thier "freak" son, Chris found that in the big city, a man of his power could make a good living. He even enjoyed duking it out with superheros. For the most part it was a big game, and he was pretty good. The game got tougher and he found himself joining one loosely organized villain team after another, there was safety in numbers. The Defilers were simply one of many teams Powerfist had been a part of. Things went wrong this time. Sure, he and the Protector had squared off a lot. They were roughly equal in power and skill. But Necros hated the Protector. Powerfist never understood the depths of some men's hatred. He totally misjudged the situation. He never meant for anyone to die; especially not some guy's wife and infant child.

 

"Christopher Banner, please rise," The judge said.

With a glance at his attorney, Chris stood; his massively build fame dwarfing the bailiffs and security guards present. Gigantic manacles held his hands together.

"Mr. Banner, while I am not the type of person to simply ignore the past; I am inclined to look closely at it and the ramifications of it." Judge Juliana Thompson looked him straight in the eye as she spoke. It was obvious that she was not intimidated by his size or power.

"Your criminal file is a long one, with several instances of violence. Super villainy is frowned upon by the law, Mr. Banner, and your exploits as Powerfist are an example of why. You are solely or in part responsible for several billion dollars of damage, theft, and injury claims; people have lost their livelihoods for your betterment. Officers have had their careers shortened because of your actions, and you were directly responsible for the death of one of Millennium City's finest heroes, the Protector."

Chris had never allowed his gaze to waver, and stood motionless before Judge Thompson as the occasional cough was the only noise to disrupt typing of the court stenographer or the reporters present.

"However, there facts in this case that can't be overlooked either due to your larcenous nature. The fact of the matter is that you saved the lives of a woman and child. The wife and child of the very hero you fought so many times, the man who died from the injuries he sustained fighting you and your cohorts in the Defilers."

The name of his former team caused Chris' jaw to tighten.

"According to the wife of the Protector, whose name has been sealed to protect her and her child from unwanted publicity; you refused to take part in the Protector's torture after he gave himself up to the Defilers to protect his family. That you turned on them and fought side by side with the Protector until the Champions were able to arrive and drive the Defilers off. "Then you turned yourself in without incident. A week later you stood trial and were sentenced to 25 years for your crimes; a sentence you began serving six months ago."

"Since then you were recruited by agents of PRIMUS to aid them in foiling a scheme by your former team and tracking their current whereabouts. At this you were successful. You also turned evidence on four VIPER's nests that you had worked with, and helped guards at Stronghold repel a break in by The Ultimates."

She put the paper she had been holding and adjusted her glasses.

"I want to believe you when you say you have changed. I pray that the trust placed in you by PRIMUS and DOSPA hasn't been merely a facade for future criminal acts. It is with this trust that the Governor of the state of Michigan has granted you clemency. I pray you do not make him regret it. This court is adjourned."

With the last sentence the courtroom became a circus as reporters tried to get a quote from the released convict.

 

 

Defender and Nighthawk stood inside the PRIMUS meeting room on one side of a large table. Chris sat at the other. His heart was racing. He didn't like the looks of them. They were probably thinking he was nothing but a thug, who were they to judge him? They didn't live his life! They didn't know...

"You haven't proved anything yet," Nighthawk growled, "I will be watching you."

Chris simply nodded.

"What are you going to do, now?" Defender asked him. It was odd, but he heard more emotion from the armored hero than the vigilante; Defender actually seemed concerned about him.

"I got a call from Harmon Industries. One of their execs saw my story on the news and offered me a job in one of their warehouses."

Nighthawk growled and shot a glance at Defender, then stormed off.

"He doesn't seem to like ex-cons." Chris said to Defender.

"Among others." Defender said quietly, the he walked over to Chris. "Look, its going to get worse before it gets better. I'll admit I haven't gone through what you have, but I know some men and women who have. You'll get through it but it will be tough. Don't throw your life away, Chris. Powerfist is gone. Chris Banner, it’s your life now."

With that, Defender left too. Chris spent the next few minutes filling out some more paperwork. Then he was gone.

 

The job wasn't bad. The men seemed pretty indifferent to his past. He had an apartment, took the Tran to work, it wasn't a bad life, but something was missing. He took long walks at night, always finding himself at the address of Peter Wilson, the Protector. Standing outside and looking at the wreckage that was once a home. He'd been out of jail with a new life for almost six weeks when he made the call. The commission wasn't the flashiest they had ever done, but it when it was finished; Chris Banner had a new costume. Once again he stepped outside, his face concealed by silver goggles. He'd intended to be a hero as Powerfist; but it was hard. He hadn't been very strong, he was lazy and his powers allowed him to get what he wanted easily. But that was behind him now, it took the death of someone he respected, but he'd taken the easy road and hated the final destination. This time he wanted to make it right. This time he would take the hard road to heroism.

 

Powers/Tactics: Brick. Hit, take blow, repeat.

Campaign Use: Burden is pretty standard, with a slight increase in defense over the standard Champions character. If you want to make him a bit easier of a target, drop his STR to 55 and his DEF to 20 + the Damage Reduction or keep it where it is and drop the DR entirely. If he's not tough enough, give him some more strong man tricks. He's strong enough.

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

 

Welcome back Enforcer84, Burden is cool, and the Elementalles are cute. I look forward to seeing if CoH can provide pics for all your characters. Especially Professeur Muerte. Can't wait to see what you do with Global Guardians.

Height: 1.68 m	Hair: Bald, gray beard
Weight: 58.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: A man in a dirty bronze plate mail armor with no helmet. He wears a shiny brass skill face mask with glowing red eyes. Over this he wears a bloodred cloak. Personality: Power, preferably in a horrific, bloody manner. Anton is barely there anymore. He has been almost completely subsumed by the necromantic energies of his armor. He spends more time in the armored form now than as himself. Quote:"Die" Background: Anton Jerkovic wanted to be a DEMON Morbane more than anything. He had studied necromancy since his teen years, a morbid, disturbed little man who simply could not fit into society. His life changed for ever when he joined DEMON. He enjoyed the feeling of power that he got just by being in this organization, but it wasn't enough. He wanted more. He wanted to become a Morbane. Things didn't work out for him in this regard, but he did find mention of a terrible artifact. When he brought it to the attention of his Morbane master, a fellow devotee of the necromantic arts; it was decided that DEMON must have control of this artifact. Finding it proved to be the easy part. It had been disguised and protected in a small South American Cathedral for centuries. Anton was made the field leader of the team sent to "recover" it.

Things went wrond, the Church knew what it held, specially trained monks defended it to the last man. Anton managed to grab it during the battle; but he had no intention of turning over to his masters in DEMON. Reciting the curse that activated it, he offered his own blood and within moments was adorned in a baroque armor, covered in dark runes. The Mask was a gleaming brass skull with crystaline red eyes. He could see everything! With a somewhat nervous laugh, he flew off into the night.

Reapearing as Necros, he began his oft failed attempts at taking over the world. Early in his career, Necros was something of a joke. Powerful enough but limited in experience and his arrogance often lead him to over step his ability. He found himself defeated again and again by superheroes. Chief among his foes was the Protector, a classic flying brick archetype, who apparently recieved his powers via white magic. The Protector and his occasional allies among the Millennium City Superheroes became an obsession with Necros as the necromantic armor he wore began to corrupt him. He became more bloodthirsty and hell bent on Protector's death. He gathered about a group of relatively minor supervillains who had all run afoul of the Protector and dubbed them the Defilers. Even this team wasn't very successful. Necros was a horrible leader. Necros was smart enough to put a bounty on the Protector's identity; eventually this payed off.

He summoned the Defilers (they tended to go their separate ways between failed grasps at power) and they assaulted the home of Peter Wilson. Fearful for the safety of his wife and infant son, The Protector surrendered to the Defilers on the conditioned that they be spared. Necros ordered his men to assault the helpless Protector, all save for Powerfist took part in the beating, they too had become slowly corrupted by the Necros armor. Although having his greatest foe savagely beaten in his presence was satisfying, it wasn't the total defeat he had desired. Wanting more suffering, he ordered the deaths of The Protector's family. Barely able to stand due to his injuries, the Protector none the less tried to protect his wife and child.

Necros' victory was very short lived. Unable to simply stand by and watch an innocent woman and child be murdered in cold blood, Powerfist asssaulted Necros. Caught off guard; the leader of the Defilers was dropped quickly. Powerfist then attacked the others. He managed to hold them off long enough for the cities other heroes to arrive. Necros swore revenge as he abandoned his men. The Protector died from his injuries but the betrayal by Powerfist robbed Necros of the joy he should have had. His hatred had been transfered to his former underling.

Powerfist aided PRIMUS in halting one of the Defilers' schemes and locating their hideout. Again the team was captured, but this time Necros was corraled too. He was livid.

Once again free from prison, Necros has reformed the Defilers. He has added a replacement for Powerfist, an inhuman wrecking machine calling himself Slaughterfist.

Necros now leads a bloodthirsty team of murderers in hopes of conquering the United States and then the world.

Powers/Tactics: A powerful being of magic. HIs actual spell casting ability is low, but his armor makes up for it. Campaign Use:

I might be able to PhotoShop in a cape. Let me know if you want me to give it the old college try, and what you want the cape to look like. I can't make any promises, but I'm up for the challenge. If you want me to try, can you either email me the biggest res picture or post it if it will fit the size constraints of the board attachments?

It's not cheating it's creative playgerism crossed with scetching so you can draw the character the way you envision. I am a tracer. Typing paper is my life line .

HIs skin is red, his plates are dull gray, his hair which is in a top-knot is black. He has a neatly trimmed black beard. His eyes are yellow and he has great curved Ram Horns on his head. The horns are gray like his armor. He wears a loin cloth and a belt.Personality: Slaughterfist is an angry thug. He has a lot of power, likes using it on those weaker than him and angrily rages at anyone his equal.Quote:"Shutupanddiepunk!"Background: Dave Pritchard joined DEMON to gain power over his life. It was a mistake. Somewhere along the way he lost his freewill and simply followed the orders of a newer, less sympathetic master. Empowered for a job, Dave suddenly realized he was nothing more than a pawn. Finding this to be intolerable; he fled. Unwilling to return at the appropriate time to revert to his human form; he wandered the east coast working out a lifetime of frustration on the locals. His meetings with superheroes tended to go badly, but he generally managed to escape. It was when he arrived in Millennium City that Necros, also a former DEMON agent, found and recruited him. Necros has been very careful to treat Slaughterfist, as he dubbed his new ally, as an equal. This has enabled him to avoid the rages Slaughterfist occasionally finds himself in.Powers/Tactics: A brick with a brutal attitude, he strikes to cause pain and murder is nothing to him. He will often jump into a crowd, and start attacking the normals. He's bad news. Against anyone capable of putting up a fight, he tends to go enraged and flail. This often puts him at a disadvantage.Campaign Use: EVIL. If you want to tone him down, drop the Rending to 2D6 KA, his Armor Plating to 15 DEF, and lose the Bloody Knuckles. IF he's not tough enough raise his STR to 60+ and his DEX to 21 and SPD 5.

Appearance: A trim, athletic man, just under six feet tall. John has a well toned build. He wears a white body suit with dark blue belt, holsters, boots, gloves, and a blue snowflake on his chest. He wears a "bandit" style face mask (white) and a light blue leather jacket with the sleeves rolled up over the top of his costume. The Jacket has a white snowflake on the back.Personality: Greed, and excitement. He has perfected his weapons and in that regard is at peace with the universe. He loves the paycheck and the kick he gets from being a supervillain though. He is unlikely to leave his life behind.

Quote:"Chill out buddy. Take a chill pill. Here, take two."Background: John Snow loved his last name. He loved the snow, the ice. They reminded him of diamonds; and he liked that idea too. Some people don't know what they want to be, John wanted to be rich. He wanted to be respected, and he wanted to be feared. He began designing his "frost gun" in high school. Nothing in depth, but he wanted something portable and stylish. He worked on the style elements early on. When he went to Cal Tech, he began working on how the thing would actually work. Graduating with a degree in Cryogenic Engineering, he was considered one of the top men in his field; much was expected. He began working for various medical technology companies, well paying jobs with an emphasis on research. He would limit himself to consulting and limited term contracts. All the while he was training his body and his mind for criminal purposes. He began to build a hidden workshop. Once he had a place to stay and a significant budget, he began to develop his weapon. It was slower going than he had hoped and he ended up working with various criminal elements to make headway. Eventually he succeeded in developing an "Ice-Thrower"; a rifle hooked to a tank he wore on his back. He wasn't happy with the design, but it allowed him to start his criminal career.

As his reputation grew he made a few friends with eyes on improving the design of his weapon. A chance working relationship with the Warlord developed and he got his hands on some of their "Blue-Boy" technology. WIth this he was able to drastically reduce the size of his powercells. He developed a prototype pistol and sold it to the Warlord at a huge profit (the Warlord collects weapons of unique or unusual nature). Using this capital he perfected the pistol design, built two and began his 'two-gun' career. It was during this time he began working with the Defilers. Chillbane would love nothing more than to leave the team, but he's well aware of the corrupting effect of Necros. He knows that the others are fiercely loyal and far mor vicious to boot. He's sure he wouldn't get out alive. So he sits and bides his time. All the while hoping no one notices that he isn't a killer.

Powers/Tactics: Actually, Chillbane is pretty physical for a genius supervillain. He has spent years training to be an effective combatant. He can fight without his weapons but isn't a match for your average hero in this regard. He has excellent reflexes and reaction time. He prefers to use his weapons simultaneously, firing at two seperate opponents if possible. He has something of a "gunslinger" mentality and likes to test himself against his opponents. He prefers to avoid the RKA unless its a do or die situation or he fears his team is paying too close attention to his combat style.Campaign Use: He'd make a good member of a rogues gallery for a single hero or a nice mercenary villain. If he's too tough for you, get rid of his Autofire skills, Autofire ability and second Multipower. If you want to make him stronger, improve his hand to hand ability and increase his overall DEF.

Does he get ticked off when people call him Chilblain?
