Height: 1.80 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 80.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Tall and lean, Khamok is a tattooed warrior from the past. He fights bare chested with golden arm bands and bracers. His pants are billowy and tied at the ankles, he wears a black sash at his waist and black sandles. He has long hair that is worn in a braid. His tattoos are made with a strange, undulating, "living" ink. Two inter coiled serpents on his back, a great eagle on his chest, and a shield on his right shoulder. The colors are all a bright, electric blue.Personality: Khamok is very conflicted about his place in the world. On the one hand nothing is as he left it, his homelands, people, the entire culture of Thon-Sa wasn't even history. It was as if it had never happened. On the other hand, he has found that his fighting style may have been the roots of a number of modern styles. He is impressed with the warrior cultures of the recent past and the heroic vein of the present. He fully expects to die when his company destroys Takofanes, the ravages of time no longer held back my magic; but he is at peace with this.Quote:"The time has come Kal-Turak, your minions cannot save you from the Celestial Dragon of Thon-Sa."Background: Khamok Vashondi was one of the most potent warriors Thon-Sa had. He was chosen to lend his services against the rising power that was Kal-Turak. Khamok was chosen for his skills as a warrior and his ability to get along well with the "lower people" beneath the moutains that Thon-Sa lay claim.

Khamok and his group of champions were unsuccessful in defeating Kal-Turak, but they managed to get away from the experience mostly intact. While they were licking their wounds and looking for weaknesses in their adversary; he was defeated. In the few peaceful years that followed; the Company of Wolves (as they had occasionally called themselves), decided that the best thing for them to do was have themselves placed in suspended animation, rising anew when Kal-Turak inevitably returned. Millennia later, they have awoken. It is time to seek their prey again.

Powers/Tactics: A skilled martial artist with some "spirit" combat powers. His body is tougher than humanly possible, but he doesn't "radiate magic" so to speak. He is most effective against undead, using his Celestial Hammer, he does 19d6 Armor Piercing. Against "regular" foes, he is a competant martial artist with an ecclectic style.Campaign Use: The Company of Wolves are far from capable of giving Takofanes a true fight, let alone destroy him outright. They are more NPC's who can give PC's information on the past. He also represents a truely ancient fighting style, he and any heroic martial artist who encounter eachother enough will inevitably compare styles.

To make him more "Heroic" drop his dex to 21 and speed to 5. Eliminate his Celestial Armor.

To make him more "Super", have him develop more "Celestial" attack forms or incorporate other martial arts' special maneuvers. He would be an eager student for new martial arts knowledge.

Appearance: A tall Sunscale Drakine warrior in gleaming blue-silver chainamail armor. He weild Phastos the Sunbringer, a warhammer, unpolished silver in color with a brilliant golden sun inlaid on each side of the head. He wears no boots. Personality: A drakine out of time, Althien clings to heroism and his mission to destroy Takofanes. He is now rather well known, has actually allowed himself to appear on Television, and in generall has been something of a "curiosity/superhero". He finds the experience exhilarating and yet humiliating at the same time. He spends as much time planning the destruction of Takofanes as he can.Quote:"Welcome to the light of day, villain. Your darkness shall be banished."Background: Althien was a Drakine Knight. He was one of the most feared foes of the undead ever seen. He weilded great magic weapons and was known as a consumate warrior. A sunscale drakin; he was awarded knighthood and became a hero of the realms. He was among the "Company of Wolves" and though his hammer rang strong and his enchanted strength allowed him to tear down castle walls, he found himself unable to present a challenge to Kal-Turak. If the heavens themselves had openned and Althien had been offered godhood, he would have given it up for a chance to avenge his loss to Kal-Turak. When the idea of suspended animation was presented, Althien jumped at the chance.

He and the others awoke in the modern day, Althien attempted to find their querry immediately. Although the magics that had kept them in slumber and agless had renedered them capable of speaking to the modern day Americans (where they awoke) his appearance and nature caused great alarm. A team of heroes was called in and the Company found themselves in battle. Things were sorted out quickly and the Company found out what had transpired since the return of their hated foe. Realizing that they could not simply charge his citadel, they began to work towards a gradual confrontation. Althien has taken up the roll of modern day Knight, he does good deeds, fights evil beings, and generally makes quite the name for himself. This both keeps his skills sharp and allows him little time to reflect on the passing of his entire species.

Powers/Tactics: A brick who happens to be a bit light on the defenses. He isn't nearly as "resiliant" as many bricks in his strength range. He also lacks the CON to shrug off damage and fight all day. However, his skills and enchanted hammer let him hit often and deal great amounts of damage. Campaign Use: To tone his act down. Eliminate his martial arts package and simply make him a "brawler" give him a 2 more CSL's with HTH and 2d6 "Brawling" HA that doesn't add to his hammer damage.

If you want to use a more complete warrior; increase his defenses, give him some mental or power defense. Add a few more magical trinkits and or make him a Paladin, give him some spell magic. He, like the others is a hunter of undead; emphasize this.

Height: 1.88 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 88.00 kg	Eyes: Green

Appearance: A sleeveless body suit, blue with black belt and bracers. Blue arm bands, a black quiver on his back and on his waist, a black full face mask, with blue eye pieces. His bow is black wth blue trim. Andrew is a lean, athletic, young man with great upper body strength. He has close cropped black hair and green eyes. Personality: Idealistic and fearless, Andrew always wanted to be a superhero. He knew from the moment he held a bow in his hand he'd become one. He's respected for his skill and admonished for his recklessness and thrill seeking ways, but he enjoys his job. He watches over his little sister who decided to "save mankind" by becoming a middle school principal. He wonders at times if she didn't take the more dangerous job.Quote:"I never miss."Background: Andrew Pierce followed the career of his hero, the Scarlet Archer, for most of his childhood. He visited both Scarlet Archer's restraunts by the time he was a teenager, and had met his idol on at least one occasion. Seeking to emulate his hero, he took up the bow and arrow at a young age. He entered competitions all throughout his early years and studied Kyujutsu when he turned 20. He knew he would be a hero, and he approached his idol, this time as a young man and asked if he could use the name the Scarlet Archer, to carry on the legacy.

However; the meeting went badly. Winston, going through financial troubles, had trademarked the name and wasn't willing to give the young hero his blessing to use it. As a matter of fact, he brought up the possibility of a lawsuit. Fuming, Andrew simply designed a unique costume, and dubbed himself the Azure Archer.

Shortly after his career began, Andrew was approached by Bradley Winston; it seemed much of his financial troubles may have been caused by one of his old enemies. Andrew investigated, and was able to get enough evidence to implicate Gene Oldenburg, formerly known as the Highwayman. He then watched in amusement as the two older gentlemen tried to beat the snot out of eachother. After Oldenburg was arrested, Winston's financial troubles began to ease. He offered Andrew the use of the Scarlet Archer name, but Andrew turned it down; he'd decided to make his own way in the superhero world. The two remain close.

Azure Archer has recently joined the Watch, a team of up and coming heroes in the Chicago Area.

Powers/Tactics: An archer with a lot of trick arrows. He carries 64 arrows on his person (two quivers, one on his back on on his waist) He has the arrows further broken up by type, generally carrying 2 of each type of "special Arrows" and three or more of his most used arrows. His Kyujutsu manuevers work only on the broad tipped and blunt arrows. The other arrows cause damage via special effect and don't get the bonus of his precision shooting. OCV and DCV modifyers apply.

Andrew is realizing that his "up close" combat is severly limited and has been training in combat with the Shield.

Campaign Use: A beginning level Archer character. The Watch are a 350 pt superteam modeled after members of Marvel Comics, the Avengers. If you want to limit AA's combat effectiveness, drop some of his special arrows, decrease the number he carries with him and eliminate his martial arts.

To imrpove him, or for a more experienced version: Increase his STR, DEX, CON, and SPD (as part of his martial arts training); give him Karate or some such hand to hand, a few CSL's with hand to hand combat, increase his bow CSL's, give him Range levels with his bow, increase his lightning reflexes, give him some of the Archery Talents from Fantasy hero, and increase his arrow payload, though much more than 64 arrows is a stretch.

Height: 1.84 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 100.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Peter is a bit above average height and has a gymnast's build. He has a lot of muscle on his frame and though he isn't bulky, he is quite muscular. He has blonde hair which he keeps at a mid length, above the shoulders but not by much. His costume originally was a blue and black body suit with a badge like symbol on the chest and forehead. Since getting the shield he has changed it to a white bodysuit with gold bracers, belt, and boots. His mask covers his head save for his mouth and chin.Personality: The Shield is a classic mold hero. He simply believes that it is his mission to help others; by either fighting crime, or helping out in a disaster. Even in his civilian identity as a struggling novelist, Peter spends much of his "down time" volunteering and training. This might by why he's struggling as a writer.Quote:"I won't back down, and you can't make me fall."Background: Peter Christiansen became a hero quite naturally. His father had been a police officer. Peter, a gifted athlete and bright student wanted to go a different route. When he finished school he donned a makeshift costume and began his crime fighting career. He took the name the Shield as a nod to his father's profession (sheild being another name for thier badge). Early in his career he found himself on the trail of some thieves who had stolen priceless greek artifacts from the Millennium City Musium of History and were trying to sell them in Chicago.

The Shield found them in a warehouse owned by Abner White, during his confrontation with the thieves he encountered an elderly man. The old man, hunched over, but surprisigly spry; had wandered into the warehouse.

The man leading the thugs shouted to ignore the "mask" and shoot the old man before he could stop them.

Confused, but unwilling to let the old man get shot, The Shield leapt into action and was shot several times.

As he began to black out, Peter saw the old man change...

He awoke later and found himself staring at the man, no longer old, no longer in rags, but respendant in golden hoplite armor.

"That was pretty stupid, you know." The man rumbled.

Peter smiled weakly up at him.

"Thank you for your efforts in retreaving our relics," The man said, "I thank you also for saving my life. I forget that the Ban will not allow me access to my powers instantly."

"What?" Peter said as he struggled to rise from the bed he was laying in.

"My avatar will get in touch; he seems to think highly of the modern heroes and demigods and wishes to join their games. Look out for him as you did me."

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Peter asked as he sat up.

"Just an old tinker," the man replied, "I have a new toy for you. You call yourself the Shield, correct?"

"I do."

"Well, now you have reason."

With that the old man stepped aside. Resting on a table was a gleaming silver disk shield, at it's center, an embossed golden lion's head. The Shield had an outer ring of gold. Peter lifted it, it was unnaturally light and well balanced. He turned to ask the man where it had come from but as he half expected, he was alone in the room.

Taking his new weapon, The Shield returned to the streets. It became readily apparent that the shield he'd been given was not made of ordinary materials, similarly it became apparent that the shield had not been the only gift bestowed upon him by the man, who was later identified as the Greek God Hephestus. Peter was stronger, tougher, and far more resistant to injury and toxins. He later encountered Vulcan, the "Avatar" Hephestus had mentioned, and helped the neophyte hero find his way. Together with Giantess and Azure Archer, they formed the core of the Watch.

Powers/Tactics: The Shield began his career as a two fisted costumed athlete. Since his encounter with Hephestus and DEMON (who were the buyers for the artifacts), he has become more of a "weapons" fighter. He has the classic Captain America style disc shield and uses it in much the same way as his exemplar. He backs this up with acrobatics, and a high level of skill with Karate. Since his form was enhanced by Hephestus, Peter's physical potential has greatly improved. He should easily achieve "Legendary" attributes in his career.Campaign Use: To run a weaker version of the shield, simply eliminate "the SHEILD". Take him back to a martial artist. You might want to increase his Dex and Spd if you do this however.

According to Hephestus, there will be a problem that the Watch must deal with stemming from and alliance between Aries and Ishtar (another war goddess). It was forseen by Apollo and they have charged Vulcan and the Shield with defeating the two gods plans. Shield is training for that day. To make him more 'event' ready, increase his dex and spd, give him some better natural defenses (possibly some low damage resistance) and bump the shield to the "standard" version. A few more CSL's and some detective skills will round him right out.

Illustration from Epic Level Handbook and property of Wizards of the Coast.

Personality: Construct is surprisingly sane, well adjusted, and content. He knows that his life before is gone and can't be returned to him. He'd like to somehow get his old body back someday, after he has learned about this modern world. He sees superheroes (and Villains to a certain degree) as adventurers like he himself was. He's noticed that his adamantine body is well suited for this dangerous age, but the idea of facing the challenges in his original form appeals too. For now, he is content.Quote:"I shall not stand aside. Leave here."Background: Life was good for Lyssandro Bian. He was a handsome, powerful hunter and warrior. Looked upon so favorably that he was going to be wed to the local nobleman's daughter. Lyssandro was a good man who worked hard for his glory and honor. Sadly, the beautiful Lady was also being courted by the shaman Thulan. Thulan was not a good man. He had used his powers to make his life better at the expense of his fellow Atlantians. He convinced the Lord to send he and Lyssandro to one of the great ruins to find a suitable treasure to give to him as part of the wedding agreement. Lyssandro was skeptical but the shaman seemed sincere about helping him find the treasure.

Upon reaching the ruins, Lyssandro and Thulan were assaulted by creatures from a long gone era. They fell to Lyssandro's blade but their numbers forced the two men into the ruins for shelter. It was there that Thulan sprung his trap. In a flash Lyssandro ceased to be.

Thulan took a brightly colored stone back, payed the creatures with gold and married the Lord's daughter. Then he died and Atlantis eventually fell beneath the waves.

 

In 2000 Zorran the Artificier, seeker of lost Lemurian artifacts and magics to help him take over the world stumbled across a ruin that had somehow been preserved, safe from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Among the artifacts was a tremendously detailed and well built war golem. Made of the purest Adamantium, it gleamed as his Daylight spell hit it. Collecting the artifacts he returned to his sanctum.

Summoning his magic he attempted to bring the War Golem under his control. It was at that moment, millennia after he had perished, that Lyssandro again awoke. It took a few moments to adjust to his new artificial body. There was a man gesturing and screaming at him. A wizard, like Thule. Lyssandro struck the prattling Zoran and began to smash his way out of the sanctum.

 

Now he wanders this new Earth. He has visited Atlantis, but nothing holds him there and he seeks to make a place for himself. As he has travelled mostly in America, he has picked up some english and the papers call him Construct, so he allows that to be his name.

Powers/Tactics: A man of steel. Brick with some neato abilities and brick tricks. His "Gravity Crush" attack is an energy attack using localized gravity to make the target turn in on itself. It seems to be built into the construct.Campaign Use: A wandering Knight/monster righting wrongs and fighting heroes un misunderstood adventures. He's supposed to be a bad ass so if you drop his abilities keep this fact in mind

He wears a neatly trimmed beard. He dresses like a successful businessman when he needs to, but preferes the comfort (and safety) of his enchanted robes. The robes are dark, dark red with black feather patterns at the seams. He wears a black utility belt at his waist and the Raven Mace hangs from this wheen not in use. He wears black guantlets and boots.Personality: A megalomaniac from another world. Krerendor is an evil priest and wannabe dictator. It should be noted however, that he is patient, willing to work with others as equals and is as loyal to Drak as his minion is to him.Quote:"The wings of the Raven Cult will soon engulf this world. From here we shall return to Ethia and shake our homeland to its knees!"Background: Krerendor is a high-priest in the Cult of the Raven. A group of evil priests, wizards, and assassins bent on controlling thier world. Krerendor and Drak were enemies of Arkelos the Mage and Bran the Warrior. It was during one of the battles that they ended up on Champions Earth. Having landed in a strange land, they sought ways home. It was during these attempts that they encountered the Black Paladin and Dark Seraph. The two supervillains aided the two off world villains in becoming acclimated with this new and unusual world. Krerendor, who saw many similarities between the Black Paladin's occult ties and his own religion back home, began working closely with the villainous knight. He began to recruit new cultists here and engage in villainous and legitimate schemes. He is a mildly successful businessman dabbling in all sorts of industries. Meanwhile the cult grows stronger, Krerendor, Drak, and their allies grow bolder. Soon, this world will be under their yoke. Then, using this world as a power base, they go home.Powers/Tactics: A priest to dark gods who seemingly hear his calls here in modern day Earth. This in itself is enough to worry most heroes. Krerendor is also a superlative Campaign Use:

Thought I'd finally put some of my vast collection of Game and other Art to good use.

It's not perfect, but the jpg from Dual Hearts is a good representation of Krerendor, especially the face & Hair, I dig it.

Here's his lacky Drak...

He has black hair and brown eyes.Personality: Drak is a loyal follower to Krerendor and seeks to rule at his master's right hand. They have been through a lot together and the High Priest of the Raven is loyal and noble enough in his own way to inspire unabiding loyalty in his followers. Drak is respected by members of the cult and appreciates what he has gained.

He tends to treat others as targets for conquest in one form or another. He is quite the carouser when he's not training or fighting.

Quote:"This should be good." *cracks knuckles*Background: Drak is the most loyal henchman of Krerendor of the Raven. He and his master followed Arkelos the mage and Bran the warrior to the plane of Champions Earth. They were found by the Knight of the Crow, the Black Paladin; he aided the kindred spirits. Krerendor gave rise to a new cult of the Raven and his loyal man Drak took to training the warriors. Drak is impressed with modern weaponry and has ditched his Crossbow for a shotgun. He uses his magic items to become a far more formidable foe than he already was.Powers/Tactics: A fantasy barbarian in a modern world. He berserks, but gains little for it save the fear it inspires. He tries to keep his rages to a minimum. Using his "Titans Belt" and his trusty claymore, he is quite the foe. The Belt, is a far more powerful artifact than even Krerendor knows. Drak hasn't aged a day since puting it on. He often softens his foes up with the shotgun before closing wit the sword.Campaign Use: A different kind of opponent.

Base Points: 200Experience Required: 847Total Experience Available: 849Experience Unspent: 2Total Character Cost: 1262

Height: 2.00 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 100.00 kg	Eyes: Blue

Appearance: A Classically handsome superhero, only darker and more sinister. His features are perfect, not a hair out of place. He wears a black costume with gold bracers, ankle Braces, sash and a metallic gold skull on his chest surrounded by crimson flames. He wears a blood red, high collared cape, affixed to his costume by gold pins and a golden chain.

Dr Prescott is a handsome man of inderminable age somewhere between 35-50, black hair graying at the temples and softer features than Blackguard.

Personality: Evil, proud, greedy, debased, and did I mention Evil? He's not nice person, but neither is he an unpleasant person. He tends to be polite, calm, and even jovial. This makes his acts of evil all the more horrific as snapping someones neck is no more troublesome to him as breaking a twig. He loves to try to provoke the "Heroic Ideals" to simply attack. He has a number of abilities that make him difficult to combat.Quote:"Your head will look lovely over my mantle."

"I am a God, and as such, your laws and morals do not apply to me."

"Go ahead, Superion, show me your vaunted might. Perhaps you may yet avenge that poor girl I killed at lunch."

Background: Dr Prescott was a gifted and dedicated archeologist. He sought the truth through the past and was something of a celebrity in his way of life. His favorite areas of study were North Africa and South America. He had studied cultures of the areas, and was part of many major finds. As time went by, he became less and less interested in truth, and more interested in treasure. He had made a small fortune with his finds and spent an even larger one on an extravagant lifestyle. Feeling the pinch from creditors he embarked on a series of dangerous and risky expeditions that yielded nothing. His last big dig occurred when he was in South America. A tomb of a shaman had been uncovered and Prescott, while searching it found a secret entrance to an antechamber that contained the Shaman's true allegiance. Horrifying images of debauchery and grizzly violence covered the wall. Prescott had seen it all before. He found himself facing the alter and, upon reading the names inscribed out loud he found himself face to face with Five Demon Princes. It was such an easy task for the Five to convince the conceited Dr Prescott that power and riches could be his. He took them up on their offer and what ever sense of nobility and wonder he may have once had, was crushed under the foul essence of power and corruption.

Prescott returned to the World of Man and began acquiring illicit wealth. He also used his power to corrupt the innocent, break anyone that got in his way, and in general become more and more like the five who gave him power.

Powers/Tactics: A villainous Uber Brick. He is not as versitile as, say Viperia, but she is no where near his league in sheer power. He tends to save his demonic abilities for surprise or horrific effect, preferring to crush his enemies with his fists.Campaign Use: Um, he's supposed to be tough, but not overwhelming an entire team. If this is the case, drop his demonic characterisitcs to more manageable levels.

If, on the off chance that he's a wuss, start ripping off Viperia's STR tricks to give him a greater tactical arsenal.

Height: 1.85 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 102.00 kg	Eyes: Green

Appearance: Decathelon is a thin, athletically built young man with brown hair and eyes. he wears a costume remenicent of Captain America without the American Flag motif. Blue pants, red boots and gloves with a blue bands at the top. A two toned top, white with a dark blue chest, shoulders and upper arms (to the bicep) the rest of the sleeves are white. He has a face mask that covers all but his mouth and lower face, the eyelits are white and he lacks the wings at the ears.Personality: Darrin is motivated by two things: he loves physical competition, and he has a deep rooted desire to make the world a better place. He wants to be an inspiration but he can come across as phoney to people who have seen his feats of athletic prowess.Quote:"Look, I represent the power of human achievement. People can acheive what I do if they dedicate themselves to it!"Background: Darrin Lewis is known in some circles as the "Perfect Man". His physical prowess is legendary in amature athletics and he was the favorite to set the standard for all to follow during the 2000 Summer Olympics. However, an official from China accused him of being a mutant. Extensive tests proved otherwise but they took time and he failed to qualify for any of the events save the 200 meters. He set a world record time, but refused his gold medal in protest of his treatment. Darrin was not heard from for two years. In the summer of 2002, he made a stunning return to the spotlight as the costumed adventurer Decathelon. He makes public appearances at sporting events and does demonstrations, he speaks to the youth of the world about the evils of drug use, and he defends the innocent as Decathelon. Still, he hears whispers that he can't be human. His vehement denials of being a mutant have put him in an anti-mutant light and the Institute of Human Advancement watches him with interest.Powers/Tactics: Using his legendary physical attributes, Decathelon is capable of fantastic physical feats. He has studied various martial arts and simply uses his natural abilities to become an acrobatic, and devistating martial artist.

For the record, he is not a mutant. He is (unbeknownst to him) the product of a selective breeding program started in 1900 by a rather demented and long lived scientist known as Dr Hollander. The program has been run in secrecy and Hollander considers it a failure.

Campaign Use: Decathelon is an interesting hero alternative to the traditional martial artist. He has emotional and public opinion baggage from his days as an Olympian. He often acts like a child, taking part in trash talking during combat, feeling everything is a competition and talking himself up. He really has nothing against mutants or anyone else, but he doesn't want the abilities he has developed to be handwaved away as "mere" mutation.

Naya has light blue skin and wears a white one-piece bathing suit with a billowy, gossamer cloak. She wears no shoes, but adorns her ankles and wrists with golden jewelry.

Personality: A warrior and diplomat, Denabia is here to aid Earth in its defense against extradimensional conquerers. Since they are few and far between, she spends her time trying to be helpful to her new home. She protects the innocents of the world from those who would take advantage of them (taking her cue from Coriolis on this one). She has studied Earth intensively and has had little trouble adjusting to its various laws and customs.Quote:"Shasallass help me! Sometimes I wonder if you people can go fifteen minutes without trying to kill or harm one another!"Background: Sent to Earth by the Royal Court of the Eleven Seas (Elemental Plane of Water), Denabia took the name Naya from an ancient Earth Water Goddess. She has chosen to battle evil on her new home, and sends reports to her lords on an annual basis. She is quite friendly with the other heroes. She was chosen to aid in Earth's defense from extradimensional conquerers (such as Istvatha V'hanm, Skarn the Shaper, or Tyrannon the Conquerer).

Powers/Tactics: Naya generally uses her Aquatic magic to deal with trouble in non lethal ways. If she is hard pressed or the foes seem particualarly resistant to her magic, she'll let lose with her hand to hand combat abilities. Her strength often catches foes off guard.Campaign Use: One of the four Ambassadors from the Elemental Planes that were assigned to Earth after the Black Enchantress allied herself with the Usurper from the Plane of Fire. Naya is a good "outsider" character to question some of the more illogical human behavior. However, she isn't so naive as to attack innocents, or be completely burdonsome in social situations.

Tabitha Colt is a beautiful young woman of hispanic descent. She has dark hair and complexion, she has inheirited her mother's blue eyes. She is seven feet tall and weighs over two hundred pounds. Her "costume" consists of specially strengthened "cowgirl" gear, cutoff shorts, sports bra, plaid shirt tied at the midriff, and a leather vest. She wears combat boots (brown) and generally wears a cowboy hat as well. She has a slight Texas accent but she often lays it on much thicker for the cameras.

Personality: Tabitha Wahls is a fun loving gal in the mold of Marvel Comic's She-Hulk. She takes very little seriously and has fun with her life. She understands her responsibility to help others and never shirks from her duties.Quote:"Oh, you didn't just rob that bank Ankylasaur. That's MY bank. I am not going to have my overdraft fees go up so you can vacation in Aruba!"Background: She was born in Dallas, Texas and was raised to be a proud southern belle, her mother's side of the family was from Georgia. Tabitha entered into young miss pagents from the time she was eleven. She won Ms Teen Texas when she was fifteen. However, by her sixteenth birthday, she was six and a half feet tall and could toss a car a city block. She took the unusual condition in stride and joined the rodeo. After college, she became a reporter for a Dallas newspaper. To keep her mother happy she avoided using her powers publically, but her physical stature made her stand out anyway. Eventually, she was confronted by fate. She found herself in a position where using her powers was the only way to save the lives of hundreds of people. A superhero fight in down town Dallas nearly toppled a building. After the excitement had calmed the building was supported and repairs begun. However, one of the supports gave way and the building started to collapse. Tabitha rushed to the broken support and held the weight of the building for four hours while repair crews fixed and added new supports. Her heroic acts was televised to the nation. Three days later, she had joined the local superhero team. Tabitha's mother is terribly embarrassed about her daughter's antics. She is upset at her daughter not keeping her abilities secret. What Tabitha doesn't know, is that her mother also has formidible phyisical prowess.Powers/Tactics: A brick with wrestling skill, Rio is strong and fast of feet.Campaign Use: Colorful and rather outlandish superheroine.

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 70.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: Average height, kind of skinny with short brown hair and brown eyes. The Orb costume is a silver and black affair with a smooth silver helmet.

The helmet has a black eyepiece and allows his mouth and chin to be exposed. His cosume is a silver body suit with black strips from his underarms to his black boots. His gloves and belt are black. He has thick silver bracer on his right arm with a consol on it. This is actually just a mock control unit, the true control unit is in his helmet. He has considered a black cape with silver trim but hasn't worn one yet.

Personality: Jason VahWhar is brilliant, his areas of expertise are robotics, physics, and gravitics. He enjoys the challenge of being a supervillain. Quote:"One day, this perfect sphere, Earth, will belong to me."Background: So, you're a skinny, nerdy, marble playing genius who grows up hating the world for it's mistreatment of you. WHat do you do? you incorporate your love of the perfection of the sphere into a supervillain carreer. Jason VanWhar did just that. Creating several "sphere" based weapons, he began a surprisingly successful crime spree in 2003. He was caught after a few months by Nighthawk in Millennium City, but his escape and weapns upgrade was financed by Mr. White, who saw soemthing in this odd little supervillain wannabe. Oddly enough, The Orb hasn't been the laughing stock you might expect from reading this tiny origin.

Powers/Tactics: The Orb is not a combatant. But his spheres can be effective. He tends to float or cling to a wall, just out of normal range and direct his spherical attack drones. Some fire energy bolts, some use localized gravity fields to hold targets, some are for defensive use only. When he has his neural net helmet on, he acts with his orbs at a speed six. The phases 4 and 10 are only for orb attacks. He cannot move or act physically.

Campaign Use: An up and coming crimelord with ties to an established crimelord. If you want to weaken him drop his extra spd with the ORBs. If you want to beef his combat prowess, give him a few different orb types, perhaps make his blast orbs Variable special effect, give him a lot more DEF. It should be noted that his obsession with spheres doesn't dominate his life. He doesn't call his gang, the Circle Jerks, he doesn't steel priceless globes only, he just likes the theme. Though he'd be keenly interested in priceless globes; he just doesn't steal them exclusively. Note I did not include stats for his Spy-Spheres as they are taken verbatum from Gadgets and Gear and I am not sure Steve & Co. would want me posting them...

Height: 1.87 m	Hair: Metallic Gold
Weight: 100.00 kg	Eyes: Gold

Appearance: Tall, statuesque, and gorgeous. The Sun Queen wears a body hugging golden bodysuit, with a white belt, long fingerles gloves, long boots and a white robe that is tied with a red sash. The robe is adorned with a great golden sun on the back and smaller suns on either side on the front. The robe is worn "open" showing off her figure. Her head is adorned with a golden tiara. Personality: She has had "eventful" encounters with Gravitar, Eurostar, Empress, and Viperia. Sun Queen seems to be almost a super powered version of the antagonists in the movie "Mean Girls". A spoiled, arrogant, vain, and catty rich girl. Her power is great, and she's intelligent in it's use, but she occasionally loses her cool around attractive, powerful women and attacks them in a jealous frenzy.

Apparently, Sun Queen has joined the Divine Right. It is from them she recieved the trained agents.

Quote:"Don't worry Hyperion, I'll melt your heart one day."

Background: Sun Queen gained her powers in a some sort of industrial accident. She doesn't remember it now. As a matter of fact much of her life before gaining her powers, save for her name, has been forgotten. She appeared in London one afternoon and made an attempt on the Crown Jewels of Great Britain. The assault was stopped by the New Knights, and Sun Queen took off. When she was next seen she was accompanied by several armed men with red costumes.

Powers/Tactics: A rather typical, if powerful, fire generator. However, those who are not wary will feel the superhuman strength she possesess as well.Campaign Use: A wanna be master villainess.

She should be a match for a team of 350 pt characters. Her defenses are on the lighter side, but should she be attacked by a fire weilder, she can get around that too.

To make her even more of a threat see the UNTIL Superpowers Database under Fire/Heat powers...

Appearance: A handsome, older, African-American gentleman with a lean, muscular build. He wears a white body stocking with a red "E" on hs chest in a diamond that looks like the night sky. His right arm has a long glove that has the same pattern, as does the sash at his waist. His cape and boots are blue. He wears no mask. He often wears reading glasses but this is more habit as he has superhuman vision powers.Personality: A hero who seeks to set an example in every aspect of his life; Captain Eternity is a well known and popular hero world wide. He has aided against natural and man made disasters in every country in the world. He has spoken at the UN eleven times and was asked to lead UNITY. He turned it down to concentrate on his more "elder statesman" activities.Quote:"Power does not make a man a hero; his heart does. Never forget that. Never give up hope."Background: Captian Eternity has been around since 1977. He is one of the oldest and most respected active heroes in the game. He is a founding member of the Icons, a team of veteran heroes who serve as much as a team of tutors for the younger generation of heroes as they do a force fighting crime and protecting the planet Earth. Dr Jacob Alderman was a medical officer working at NASA in the 70's although he never went into space; he often had patients who did. When METE first openned its doors he took a leave of absense from NASA to study xenobiology with the fledgling Extra Terrestrial Enclave. The time there was well worth it. It was also there that he encounterd the Heart of Phaeton; an artifact (named after the god who stole the sun chariot) delivered by a dying alien explorer. Dr. Alderman touched the artifact and was chosen as its next host. His mind and body were forever altered. He has been serving humanity as Captain Eternity ever since.Powers/Tactics: Captain Eternity is a hero in the "original" mode. Strong, fast, smart, capable of emiting and controlling vast amounts of energy, and able to fly and survive in space unaided.Campaign Use: He can be a mentor or an ally. He realizes that he hasn't aged since coming into contact with the Heart of Phaeton and that his carreer as a warrior isn't through; but he prefers to act as a teacher and healer.Based on picture by Storn Cook in HERO 5th Ed Page 32.

Height: 1.99 m	Hair: White
Weight: 113.00 kg	Eyes: White, no pupils

Appearance: See page 148 in Hero 5e.

A tall brutish man with a powerful build. He has pale gray skin and stark white hair and eyes. Two horns stretch from his temples but are not "combat worthy". He has long stringy hair. He wears a pale blue bodysuit with a "daemon: symbol on his heart over this he wears leather biker wear and leather gloves.

Personality: A thug. Daemon was not happy all his buddies in the gang were killed to give him powers, but he enjoys the powers he recieved. He hires himself out as muscle to crimelords, supervillains, or criminal gangs. Quote:"This is fun and all, but soon you'll be dead and I'll be counting my money."Background: Charles Dinsmore recieved his powers from DEMON. A member of a satanic cult biker gang, he was chosen to recieve powers to aid in a Smash and Grab for their brotherhood. The relic, the Heart of Prometheus, was being held by master mage, Nilrem. Dubbed the Daemon by his friends in the gang; before they all were killed in the ceremony. Daemon was not pleased. Once it became apparent he was out of his league battling Nilrem; Daemon departed. Leaving the Morbanes to their own devices.

On his own ever since, Daemon has occasionally teamed with Morningstar, a similarly empowered former operative of DEMON. Daemon is curious as to why DEMON has never really come after him. The truth is they are curious as to why the transformation hasn't reversed itself over all these years. A Morbane has been studying him since the day he disappeared.

Powers/Tactics: A brick with limited Ice powers. Apparently he was bonded with an ice demon. Generally sticks to his brick attacks usign his Freezing Breath and Ice Sheet and Ice Gauntlets only for surprise or he needs an edge. He is curiously not vulnerable to fire. But he plays up a fear of it for effect. Campaign Use: Thug Brick. More powerful than most.

Appearance: See page 77 in Hero 5e (thanks again Storn Cook)

An athletic man of above average height with a lean build.

The Condor armor is a black undersuit with bronze armor plates over the chest/torso, shoulders, arms, guantlets, boots, and thighs.

Over his right arm is a questionite shield his wings are a betacloth polymer stretched over three frames made of the bronze alloy as his armor. It can fold up into the backpack unit. The frams actually have small thrusters allowing him impressive maneuverability.

Personality: Although his initial goal was simply the smashing of VIPER whenever and where ever he found them, Keith has grown into more of a hero in the year and a half he's been operating as Condor. He has worked with Defender and the Champions, but the cousin's have not as of yet recognized each other.Quote:"The Skies over Millennium City are mine. Spread evil in them at your peril."Background: A cousin of James Harmon, the Defender. Keith's great grandfather's brother was James Harmon. Keith's family history is, like James', steeped with service and heroism. Keith's family however made their money in the stock market. Keith bucked the trend and started his own tech company. Working with McNeil Aviation, Stone Industries, and his cousin's company, Keith developed innovative technologies for the airline industry. Keith's company Phoenix Ltd. is referred to occasionally as the "Savior of the American Air Transport Industry".

But it wasn't enough for Keith. He wanted to fly. To develop a personal flight technology.

Keith developed the Condor flight suit in his spare time. It may never have been more than a day dream if it hadn't been for VIPER. It was during a battle with the Champions that VIPER debut a new air vehicle, the Wyvern. Keith realized after watching the news footage, that his technology had been used to develop this new threat to mankind.

Unable to take this lying down, Keith broke out his designs for the Condor suit. Adding armor and weapons systems, he began construction in 2002. It took eleven month of develoopment and testing but soon the bronze and black armor was seen for th first time streaking over the skies of Millennium City as the Condor took his battle to VIPER.

Powers/Tactics: The Condor suit is light, but very well armored. The weapons systems has grown considerably since his initial outing but still could be considered spartan. He relys on his maneuverability in the air and his combat skills on the ground.Campaign Use: Condor is a powered armor/martial artist hero. It's possible to go either way with him. If you want to lower his abilities, drop some of the armor characteristics bonuses and weapons. To make him a better fighter you can emphasize either aspect, improve his armor and tech skills, or his martial arts and crime fighter skills.

Appearance: As mentioned above, Equinox's costume consists of a loincloth, some stone jewelry, and a stony cracked exterior armor with lava or ice flowing underneath.

see art in HERO 5e, pg 70 (thanks AGAIN Storn Cook)

Personality: A supervillain who seemingly desires nothing more than to live the high life and punch out heroes. Aside from this and his hatred of Holocaust there is little else that drives him. He seems relatively well adjusted. He doesn't kill casually and seems content to knock heroes out rather than bring them serious harm.Quote:"Burn, Freeze, feel the force of my fists, it doesn't really matter to me how, but you're going down, and your going down now."

"Heh, tell your friends you were chumped by Dr. Frickin' Seus."

Background: Equinox doesn't talk about how he got his powers, but one can assume that based on his dress (archaic stone torque, belt, arm and leg bands, with aztec symbols on his loin cloth) and the "nasty occult" aura he has, that some evil artifact was involved. The kicker is that he seemingly has little knowledge of any of this. He is a professional supervillain and he has served as a temp or reserve member for several prominent villain teams. He is fantastically powerful and yet he is obviously a follower. Curiously enough, while he seems to get along very well with almost any supervillain, there is one notable exception: Holocaust. For some reason, unknown even to Holocaust, Equinox wants to eliminate Holocaust personally. The two have met a few times and the battles have been inconclusive, but it's obvious that Equinox has the power to make good his threat.Powers/Tactics: Part Brick, mostly Energy Weilder, Equinox can use fire and ice attacks, often at the same time. He's a very dangerous opponent. He prefers to begin his battles at a distance but it's obvious that he likes to smack people around as he's not at all adverse to wading into melee range.Campaign Use: Tough ass villain. If you want to weaken his abilities, fold the two multipowers into one 90 pt pool with mulit slots. To toughen him up, you'll notice many of his attacks don't make use of all the points they are allowed; correct this flaw. That should do it.

Ok here is the updated Hero A Day Index.As always please take a look, and let me know if anything is out of place or missing. There have been quite a few solo heroes and villains lately so those lists have grown.

Enforcer, do you have a Darkseid-style extra-dimensional conqueror?
