Height: 1.83 m Hair: Blonde
Weight: 97.00 kg Eyes: Green
Appearance: Eric is your standard superhero energy projector, athletic without being too bulky, handsome without being overbearing, and tall without being gigantic. He dresses in casual wear and often a lab coat. The CT costume is a blue body suit with a gold domino mask, boots, and a golden thunderbolt on his chest. The thunderbolt starts at his left shoulder and ends just below his sturnum.Personality: Eric is a good hearted young man. He works hard to improve his control of his powers and spends his time trying to be a better hero. He is ernest if a bit overeager at times.Quote:"Truely the pun is the most foul of superhero witicisms, but beleive me, you will get a CHARGE out of this one!"Background: Eric Singer was a computer science student at MIT in 1995. He was alone in the computer lab one evening when everyone else not late with their thesis were at the commons courtyard where President was speaking. Eric took a break from his work and looked out the window when the Ultimates attacked. The supervillain team had planned to hold the entire campus as well as the President hostage. Eric saw them from his vantage point and quickly pulled the fire alarm. This alerted the secret servicemen who began to converge on the disguised villains. Their ambush ruined, the Ultimates scattered. One member, Thunderbolt, in a fit of pique fired a bolt of lightning at Eric. The incredible rush of energy unlocked Eric's latent mutant abilties. Eric found that he, like Thunderbolt was able to control, even become, electricity. Eric instinctively transported via electrical outlet to his dorm and grabed his "thunderman" halloween costume. Wearing that and a domino mask(his thunderman mask was being used by a friend down the hall), Eric flew into battle.

Although inexperienced and initially out gunned, Eric drew the attention of the Ultimates away from the President while he awaited superhuman backup. His televised mano y mano against Thunderbolt was rebroadcast for almost three weeks. Eric's heroics were lauded by nearly everyone. He developed a slightly different costume and announced himself Captain Tempest.

He later joined the fledgling superteam, the Frontline. He has served with them since 1996 and has been elected chairman twice in that time. He and Thunderbolt hate eachother and their battles have been known to cause great distruction and when they are through, both combatants often require medical attention.

Powers/Tactics: Standard energy projector. As a result of his clashes with Thunderbolt, he has developed a "lightning punch" of his own. Campaign Use: Just a filler hero. The rest of the Frontline consists of (Enforcer (My namesake), Emperia, Syphon, Rising Sun, Mantis, and Xenonoblaster) They might make appearances.

Height: 1.78 m Hair: Glowing Blue energy
Weight: 71.00 kg Eyes: Silver
Appearance: A beautifull goddess, cast in gleaming blue tinted silver, Alexandria bears a striking resemblance to Marvel Comic's Nova (the shiny female of fire, not bucket head). When "armored up" she wears no clothing, her metallic "skin" has a dark metallic blue eye symbol on her chest. Other than that, nothing. Her hair is a soft, transparent energy, it can be touched and tingles a bit. In her civies, she dresses like a bond girl. She enjoys her body's cosmic "enhancements" and feels she can dress however she wants.Personality: Emperia is a "world guardian" she sees herself as a protector of the entire planet. She aslo sees this as a job. Eventually she expects the Earth to get along without her and explore the universe. She's aloof and quite arrogant, but she tries to do the right thing and has made attempts at modesty. Quote:"You do not give the orders around here; I do."Background: Alexandria Austin was intent on seeing the world. The daughter of a diplomat, she was going to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an attaché. She spent six years attending school in Pennsylvania and Europe. She went to the right parties, and pretty much made herself as many contacts as possible. On night, she was at a party for a young dilettante from France, when she and a few of her friends decided to travel down to the coast. On her way there a shooting star struck the earth right in front of her car. She swerved and hit a tree. Her car was totaled and she had flown through the windshield and lay dying on the road. She struggled to breath, tried in vain to move or speak, but nothing was happening.

It was then that she heard in her mind the feeble voice of Kymar. Kymar was a being of vast power, but the power had attracted Devios the Mad. Devios was also a being of vast power and he wanted to clean out the competition, and potential competition, and a couple of worlds because they were ugly. Devios had assaulted Kymar just outside of the earth's atmosphere and would surely come down to lay claim to Kymar's power and snuff out its life.

Kymar was dying and it posed a solution to the young woman.

We are both dying, it seems... it began, Perhaps, I can spare us both.

Using its telekinetic powers, Kymar brought Alexandria's dying body over towards it. With barely enough strength to open her eyes, Alexandria stared at the alien, it resembled a bluish silver Pegasus from Greek legends, although its wings had no feathers and its head looked less like a horse and more like a dragon.

Hmmm...it appears I have sustained more damage than I had thought... The voice in her head was getting softer, Your world is in danger, Devios will not be quenched by my death alone...Take my power human, perhaps you can find away to save your world...

Alexandria woke in a crater. Next to her was a broken corpse of a being she had never seen before. In her head swam thoughts of danger. Concentrating, she pinpointed it. Looking to the sky she could almost see Devios. Without thinking, a sheath of cosmic metal surrounded her body and she prepared for battle. Mentally summoning as many heroes as she could, Emperia took off to battle the Mad Titan.

Since driving off Devios, she has traveled the globe and much of the solar system. She has faced beings of cosmic and psionic might. She has saved the world. Someday, she will travel to the stars and see what the rest of the universe is like, but now, Earth needs her.

Powers/Tactics: A powerful mentalist made even more powerful with a cosmic variable power pool at her disposal. She has the traditional "Cosmic" abilities of spuerhuman strength and gleaming, environmentally independant, and hyper resiliant skin. She can fly.Campaign Use: She's annoying but tries to do the right thing. She thinks she's always right and powerful enough to push around entire teams. She should be used carefully.

Height: 1.73 m Hair: Black, dyed bright red
Weight: 70.00 kg Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Matsuki Jiro looks like he stepped out of a post modern anime; or maybe a fighting game. He is handsome, arrogant, and wears outlandish styles, often with long jackets, many belts combat boots, gloves, and he always dyes his hair bright red. The Rising Sun battle suit resembles a video game ninja costume. It is white with white metallic armor plate on the torso, shoulders, and vitals. A rising sun symbol is on the chest of the armor. His head is visible, but he wears a bright red goggles. His Katana is sheathed in a glowing plasma.Personality: Self absorbed, too cool for school and vain, Rising sun still has heroic inclinations. When the chips are down he puts the needs of others ahead of his own comfort and fame. Quote:"We'll start a new tradition. One in wich I consistantly hand you your ass."Background: Matsuki Jiro is a master of Karate and Kobojutsu. He is also totally in love with himself. A devote to science and the modern, he wears a state of the art battlesuit and battles crime as a hero of Japan. He spent three years in America, to learn the ropes, and joined the Frontline at that time. However, he did not blend well with the others, often arguing and fighting with his own teammates. In 1999 he returned to Japan and was asked to join the Pacific Lords a large superteam that defends the various pacific Islands and asian countries as well. He remains with the lords to this day.

Jiro has a fierce(and rather one sided) rivalry with Mantis. The young "techno-ninja" and the more traditional kung fu crimefighter never really saw eye to eye. Jiro would like nothing better than to show up Mantis in the Tournament of the Dragon, that Mantis talked about periodically. However, he realizes that he might not be able to use his weapons and armor.

Jiro's armor was developed by the Dragon Foundation, based on notes of his own. The Dragon Foundation believes in restoring Japan into an international power. Thus far they are merely a political and economic organization, but there are rumors that they are trying to amass an army.

Height: 1.96 m Hair: Black
Weight: 124.00 kg Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Tall, unsettlingly handsome and graceful. Enforcer was created to be a protector and a companion. He is well versed in social skills and has impeccable taste in clothes. He has short black hair and piercing blue eyes. The Enforcer uniform is white with plue trim, black boots and gloves. He wears a blue opaque headset.Personality: Enforcer is a respectful and straightlaced guy. He has slowly developed a more comfortable, and philosophical appraoch to life after being created as a souless being for war and "sport". He sees Anna as family, not a possible romantic partner. Early in his career as a superhero he had many affairs with other superhumans; this is most likely due to the "programming" he had at creation, he enjoys sex and making women happy. As he has grown as an individual, he has sought more permanent relations but occasionally his reputation from the early days works against him.

He is a solidly heroic professional in his costumed identity; works well with others, respectful of the authorities and gets along well with both the "free will" supers and the "By the Book" heroes in part due to his own clashes with Free Will vs Programmed Classism. He rarely gets angry during combat but when he does can be a truely frightning foe.

Quote:"Surrender Firewing, or face the consequences."Background: Bio-Unit A#2231234, know known as Alric Victor as well as the heroic, Enforcer, began his life in an alternate dimension in which the Earth is run by a scientific meritocracy known as the Tech Lords. Created as a pleasure/guardian unit by Contessa Lilith Strossen of the Clonists, Unit A#2231234, then dubbed, Adonis, was found to be “too sentient†and lacking sexual technique for the vain and sex crazy Contessa. Rather than having the unique Bio-Unit destroyed Contessa Strossen traded it to Baron Otto Rupert, a Machinist. Otto intended to use the Bio-Unit as a bodyguard and companion to his daughter Anna. Anna was the one who discovered Adonis’s unusually high level of individuality. He was given the name Alric to better fit his personality. Alric served faithfully for several years until Baron Rupert’s genius came to the attention of King Albert the III, the Zerstoiten family had ruled Earth for four generations now and had stayed in power by stealing and adapting the work of others.

When the Destroids and Black Talon agents invaded the Rupert Stronghold to steal Baron Otto’s Dimensional Aporter, Alric led the Rupert Model Defense bots in the defense of his lord and lady. Although he accounted for the destruction of several of the foes, Alric found the invasion force overwhelming. He knew there would be no help from the authorities as they turned a blind eye to the intrigue and violence between the lords.

Alric was ordered by Baron Otto to rendezvous at the workshop. When he arrived he was informed that he needed to follow Anna through the Aporter.

“I cannot abandon you Baron. You go, I will operate the machine.â€

“No Alric,†Otto said with a rueful grin, “My time is at hand, Alric, King Albert will not follow you and Anna; I will make a final stand here.â€

With that, Otto’s visor shut.

Alric saluted his lord and flew to the platform with Anna. Her eyes brimming with tears, she waved to her father and they stepped through the portal.

“This is my greatest achievement, Albert, and I will be damned if I give it to you.†Otto said. He then activated his Omega Protocols and the entire compound disintegrated in a flash of brilliant golden light.

Somewhere, King Albert Zerstoiten III roared in anger.

 

Arriving on Champions Earth, Anna used the information and resources she and her father had gathered during the successful tests of the DA. She used the funds from a few patents that they had filed already to form a company Rupert Technologies. She and Alric studied the world and culture they had entered. Since there were no Bio-Units or android class laws, Alric was released from service. Taking a surname (Victor, as a nod to Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein), he began a career as a security professional for RT. Realizing his abilities made him a metahuman on this world, he adopted a costumed identity and went about protecting those who needed it. In a misguided but respectful attempt to emulate police officers upholding the laws of America, he took the name Enforcer.

Powers/Tactics: Enforcer is a brick with impressive combat skills, high durability, a versitile weapon and the ability to enhance his stregth to Gargantuan levels for a short time. He can fly and enjoys enhanced senses.Campaign Use: If Enforcer is too powerful for your campaign, drop the adrenaline surge or lower it to +30 Str and drop his regular Cha to 50 STR 25 CON 12 BODY 25 PD 25 ED and lose the Damage reduction. If he's not tough enough, give him a few DC's with Aikido and increase the power and or flexability of his force guantlets.

I'm really enjoying this thread. Many, many intersting characters and much thought-provoking ideas for future campaigns...

 

Re: Enforcer

Must say that I found the background for Enforcer refreshingly original even if there were the nods to Champions Universe entities..

Is Anna still alive and does Enforcer have any connection with her anymore

 

Re: Rising Sun

Another interesting character. Would like to see more of the Pacific Lords, if you've written them up. Also the Dragon Foundation sounds like worthy opponents...

Height: 1.68 m Hair: Black

Appearance: Lilly is a truely stunning, vivaceous young woman in her mid twenties. She has long, natrually wavy black hair that she wears to her waist, green eyes and a lush, curvaceous figure. She gennerally dresses like a refugee from MTV, adding "weird" touches, like cloaks, sashes, and scarves. Her "uniform" is enchanted black leather bodice with a low cut white chemise, red skirt and soft leather black boots. She wears an indigo cloak with a silver pin in the shape of an owl.Personality: Protect the innocent, have a good time, fight crime. In that order.

Quote:"Sure, Cheshire Cat, I'll scratch you behind the ears, drop the money first."Background: Anne-Marie DeChampion, who also goes by the name Lilly Champion, is an the daughter of two magicians. She was raised by her parents, both elementalists of no small water who had ties with the Trimegistus Council, to be a champion of the light in these dark times. As they had suspected, Lilly surpassed them in power and was soon ready to assume her role in the world. Her parents met their ends battling evil, and while devistated, Lilly knew that was the road she herself would tred. She has inherited their considerable wealth.

Although she is a bit of a hedonist, and quite ...ahem, worldly for her age; Lillian has taken to heart her parents teachings and is a truely fierce protector of the innocent when combat is ineveitable.

When she turned 18, her parents gave her the Staff of the Acolyte. As she progresses, the staff will actually grow with her, eventually gaining true sentience and awarenes. She doens't know this yet.

Powers/Tactics: Vice often prefers the direct approach, no one knows why. But since she started studying Kung Fu under Mantis, she has as often as not jumped into combat with her staff a spinning. Assuming she uses her magic offensively, she generally focuses an elemental blast (one of the four classical elements; Air, Earth, Fire, or Water). She will generally use her VPP for unusual attacks, Darkness, Entangles, Drains, or enhancing her attributes: Body of Stone, Flame Aura, Hydroform, etc. Campaign Use: A mage of power, she could teach Witchcraft a lesson, she's also an available romantic entanglement and a font of elemental knowledge. If she is too tough for your campiagn drop her Staff to 50 pts and her VPP to 30 or eliminate it all together. If she's not tough enough, increase her DEX to 23, give her a few more levels and maybe increase her VPP to 60.

Height: 1.75 m Hair: Brown
Weight: 103.00 kg Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Syphon, is a hairy, primitive looking, humanoid who has found culture. He dresses in eighteenth century style clothing (his favorite era of study) and speaks with a cultured British accent. His arms are long and his legs short; he has dense muscle and ruddy skin. He wears a few of his shaman totems still. When he is acting as Syphon, he wears a black bodysuit, not unlike a surfer's body glove. There are no sleeves and the leggings stop at mid thigh. He has silver "S" over his heart. He wears silver armbands and black boots.Personality: Protect his adopted home from the evils of society. Alexander is a noble man who protects the weak and defends the innocent. His outsider status makes him keen to the whims of public opinion.

Quote:"Look sir, I understand your need to aspire to financial independence, but doing it at the expense of those who had worked so hard is an anathema, and I cannot allow such behavior to persist."Background: Cro was a young and respected shaman of his people. He had been given special command over the life force, or "Spirit" of others. An intensely curious young man he ventured from his tribe on several occasions, learning about their world. One of his adventures he encountered a glowing disc on the wall of a cave in a mountain far away from his home. He touched the disc and found himself transported to a strange building in an even stranger world. The portal was one way, apparently set up for a sorcerer who was studying Cro's world. Cro left the dwelling and tried to acclimate himself with this new world. He was attacked and captured by superheroes. One of the heroes, a telepath, managed to communicate with Cro and he began his education of the planet Earth.

Taking the name Alexander (after the telepath who first spoke to him), Cro studied his new world and joined her champions. He eventually made his way America. In the states he encountered the Frontline, one of America's preeminent super teams. Aiding them against Empress, he came too really like their company and decided to stay. He was accepted as a member and has served capably ever since.

Cro is an odd being. A primitive man, yet very intelligent and gifted with "magic powers" that have turned out to be mutations (he shows up on mutant scanners). He knows that no matter what he does, he will stick out, so he pretty much goes all out with the weirdness. He gets along fabulously with anyone he meets, provided that they at least try to meet him half way. He obviously knows Dr Silverback and the two still correspond.

 

Syphon was originally created by Jeff Nelson. Current version by Chad Riley

Powers/Tactics: Mostly a low end brick who can become a high end brick with a little work. He fights hand to hand and within close proximity.Campaign Use: Oustider hero. If he's too tough, drop the elemental control to reasonable levels and get rid of the Damage transferrance. If he's too weak, give him higher physical stats and perhaps a martial arts package or a weapon.

Height: 2.26 m Hair: None
Weight: 680.00 kg Eyes: Red
Appearance: A tall, silver, anthropomorphic robot with a single red eye. He has two "horns" on either side of his head and a metallic, inhuman voice. He is kind of a cross between Mechanon from 3rd & 4th edition and the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.Personality: To help those in need and find his own place. He is less curious in his past (read: Origin) than his future.Quote:"By your Command...*heh*"

"your day has come Mechanon, prepare to meet your maker."

Background: Throughout the universe there is nothing as rare and as curious as “Iâ€, the computer planet. “I†is a gigantic artificial intelligence based on holographic memory surrounded by an "atmosphere" of organic circuitry. It doesn't know how long it has been around but it does know that its sentience is not by design. “I†calls its awareness, the "Life Virus"; at some point several millennia ago, it achieved self awareness. Since then it has roamed the universe and learned. "I", as the AI dubbed itself (actually it’s the English equivalent), has developed what would appear to the outsider, a civilization on its surface. Cities and robotic citizens bustle about, but this is not entirely true. While some of its "gatherers" achieve self awareness and individual personalities and goals (are infected by the "Life Virus"), the vast majority of the individuals on I are merely extensions of its own mind. “I†is intensely curious about the universe around it; apparently when it achieved awareness, much of its data regarding its origin was lost. “I†has remained stationary in a small solar system in an unnamed galaxy for the last 12000 years. It has sent probes, then Gatherers to various parts of the universe. Xenonoblaster is one of those Gatherers.

 

When the probe began intercepting radio and satellite signals from Earth 25 years ago, I sent a gatherer. To ease the burden on the local populous, the Gatherer was sent in the form of a famous Earth Hero, Xenonoblaster. The fact that the cartoon I was basing this decision off of was fiction is irrelevant now. Xenonoblaster was dispatched and arrived on Earth completely confused and ignorant of its purpose. It had apparently been afflicted with the Virus.

Found by an engineer and his family, and recognized by the father as Xenonoblaster from his childhood, the robot took the name and followed the family home. They kept it. Over the next few years Xenonoblaster learned what it could about its world and its history. The robot knows its extremely capable in combat and has turned to its "predecessor" for guidance and become a hero. He has developed a greater sense of self and although he is unsure of his origins, does what he can to help the people of Earth against those who would harm or enslave them. He was one of the heroes that originated the Frontline and has served the team in some capacity ever since.

Powers/Tactics: A powerful robot. Really. Xenonoblaster constantly powers down his attacks so as not to cause irreparable harm to organic foes. He is truly frightening if he ever lets loose. He uses his SoundBlaster to take down most opponents, or a TK Punch if they prove resistant to the sonic attacks. He uses his pulse on groups and his Particle Beam on inorganic opponents.Campaign Use: If Xenonoblaster is too powerful for your campaign (and he is) lower his characteristics: STR 60 CON 30 BOD 15 PD 30 ED 30 SPD 5 REC 18 END 60 STUN 60. If he's not tough enough for your campaign (color me shocked) increase his multipower into the 125-150 pt range.

 

 

 

I should note that Xenonoblaster is as tough as he is because my friend's concept (bare in mind we were 12 at the time) was "A robot with 100 strength." he made Xenonoblaster and realized that he had come up with 500 pts of disads (again we were 12) and hadn't taken into account his base 100 pts (2nd or 3rd edition Champions here) and so rather than scale back his disads, he added another 100 pts worth of powers (skills were pretty much non-existent). Its still one of my favorite stories from the "old" days.

Happy Holidays! Wednesday 12/24Well here I am; about to be kicked from my computer for a while. So I am breaking out the Young Lions. These are characters I made from the old 4th ed Big Blue Book, using powers suggested in the examples. Save for Raven, their leader, the Young Lions are mutants. My world still had Genocide but I am introducing the Istitute for Human Advancement as another organization the two are separate at this time (at least to the public).They are also very young and have lower powerlevels than most of mine...RavenPlayer: NPC; Leader of the Young Lions

Appearance: James is an athletically built young man about 17 with brown hair and blue eyes. He dresses in casual, comfortable

fashions. The Raven uniform is a lightly armored, dark gray body suit with black trunks, guantlets, boots, and cowl.

He wears several gray belts and holsters for his various gadgets. A black Raven is silouetted on his chest.

Personality: Raven is a legacy hero. He feels he has a lot to live up to and leading this group of young heroes is a start. He has his grandfather's keen mind and is looking towards the future of his team; he's looking at ways for each of them to grow and become respected and legitemate superheroes (They are kind of looked down upon as children in a big man's game).Quote:"Nevermore."Background: James DePriest is the grandson of the original Raven. When the elder Raven passed away, James recieved his diary and

pieced together the secrets therin. He is a natural detective, and a gifted athlete. He found the five kidnapped children

and was plesantly surprised whent they turned out to be mutants. He was able to help them escape and later, when another

child was slain he called on them again to help him. Their actions brought about media attention and James offered up the

idea of becoming a regular hero team. He used some of his trust fund to purchase and outfit the warehouse they use as a

base of operations(the man in charge of the trust is a friend and confidant). He takes being the elected leader very

seriously, but recognizes that the kids often follow the lead of Laser Lad.

Powers/Tactics: A skilled normal with detective and martial arts skills. More of a Nightwing Clone than Batman though.Campaign Use:

Danny is an amphibious mutant. He has a swimmer's build. he generally wears a body glove and cuts his hair short. His eyes are an unusually bright green.

Personality: Danny, now 16 is their "other" brick, his powers are specialized and rarely has a chance to shine. It bothers him a little. He does however, enjoy exploration and will often spend time in the rivers near Millenium City. He has insatiable curiosity and will try almost anything once.Quote:"Here comes the hurt!"Background: Danny Paulson is a mutant. His amphibian powers emerged on his 13th birthday. He was one of the young mutants that were captured by the IHA. Upon freeing themselves, the children immediately returned to thier families but kept in touch. When a young mutant was slain in an attempted kidnapping(the IHA was attempting to study mutations in children, trying to reverse them), the young mutants regrouped and found those responsible. While unable to link the kidnappers to the IHA, they did bring them to justice and were lauded as heroes by the papers. Dubbed "Young Lions" by the media the youths decided to stay together as a team.Powers/Tactics: brick, not as powerful physically as Leadboy, but in his element he really shines.Campaign Use:

Appearance: Darran is a scrawny, short, and skittish looking young man with shoulder length black hair that is white at the temples. He wears a brown costume with black boots and gloves. The gloves have no fingers so that he can use his claws.Personality: To be truthful, Darren feels way out of his element. As one of the youngest and certainly the least sure hearted among the Young Lions, he feels he has bitten off way more than he can chew. He's loyal to his friends and wants to do the right thing, but they often find themselves in situations that terrify him. He worries that he will somehow fail his friends in their time of need and he doesn't think he could live with himself if that happened.Quote:"Sure, Raven, I-I got this guy...*I hope*."Background: Darren Philips is a young mutant who was captured with several other children by the IHA. When they were released Darren went back to his family and planned to stay there. When a young mutant was killed in a similar attempt, Raven contacted Darren first. His enhanced senses would be useful in tracking the killers. Although he was frightened of the idea of confronting killers, Darren new he had to help Raven. The young heroes found the killers and brought them to justice; they were unable to link them to the IHA, however, and the cat and mouse game continues. When the papers named them heroes, Darren faced a difficult choice. He reluctantly stayed with the others when they decided to form a more permanent hero team. Darren loathes the idea of combat with supervillains and gun toting maniacs. However, he feels a sense of responsibility and wants to help his friends.Powers/Tactics: Ferret is a Wolverine clone with none of the fearlessness. He tends to use his enhanced senses to lead the team to their opponents and then tries to stay out of the way. Truth be told, Ferret (if he overcomes his cowardice), may evolve into the team's best overal comatant. He is blindingly fast and very agile. Raven has made training him in martial arts a high priority.Campaign Use:

Kelly is an Asian-American girl with a trim, athletic build. She was a successful child gymnast and tends to bounce around the battlefield. Her costum is a skintight white leotard with a pink mini skirt, pink gloves, boots and domino mask. She wears her hair in a pony tail normally but as Glue Girl she lets it down.

Personality: Kelly is a typical mutant teenager. She is rebellious, thinks she knows it all and generally fawns over any attractive older male she sees. Undernieth all that is an intelligent, caring, and compassionate young woman. She is going through some growing pains right now. Kelly was among the children kidnapped by the IHA. She jumped at the chance to be a superhero. As Glue Girl she enjoys the comradere of the Young Lions. Raven has noticed her "cool under fire" and is considering making her deputy leader.Quote:"Hey, stick around! This is the good part!"Background: A mutant with (to her) disgusting abilities, Kelly White never really bothered to use her adhesive emiting abilities. When she was kidnapped and held by the Institute for Human Advancement however, she saw the uses of her abilities. When the other teens decided to form a superteam, Kelly adopted the name Glue Girl and joined up.Powers/Tactics: Kelly can emit adhesive substances. She's already becoming rather creative with it. She can either use a concentrated sticky attack on an individual or a less powerful attack on a greater area. She also has her "Spider-Man tricks" of a swingline and the ability to cling to surfaces. She was a gymnastics prodigy until her mutant powers nixed her from competition, she's adapting her combat style to include her gymnastic abilities.Campaign Use:

Appearance: Laser Lad is a well-built teenage boy with thick black hair and black eyes. He wears a typical four color superheroic costume, white body suit, red shoulders, neck, and chest. Red gloves and boots, transparent red goggles. He has a white circle on his chest with a red "L".Personality: When Lance and his fellow former captives regrouped and they decided to form a team, he was (privately) dismayed that Raven was elected leader. He, after all, was the oldest and had the most experience as a hero. He has taken it in stride and is really the linchpin that holds the team together.Quote:"Get ready for a true Light Show!"Background: Lance Harrington is a mutant born with the ability to manipulate photonic energy. He can emit and project light in many ways. He set out on his career as a superhero when he was 14. He had some success and now at 18, he was ready to step out into the world as a big named superhero. Unfortunately, he also was one of the six children kidnapped by the IHA. Taken in his civilian identity, he played along to avoid injury to his family and friends who were present. When they made their break and were joined by Raven, Lance was excited; he knew that this is how super teams are created. When they gathered to solve the mystery of the murdered mutant teenager, he was sure his age and expericence would make him the leader. This was not to be.Powers/Tactics: Laser Lad is a classic light energy wielding blaster. He has two settings, standard and "fry". He also is highly resistant to energy attacks. He has exhibited the potential for a lot more power but despite his training he hasn't achieved it.Campaign Use:

In his "normal" form, Walter is a tall, muscular 14 year old. When he "Armors Up" he becomse a taller, more muscular youth made out of a dull gray metal. His costume is a skin tight one piece bathing suit in black with a white belt, white boots and gloves. He wears a white domino mask.

Personality: Walter is a good kid, however, he's only a young man and right now his priorities are having fun, and impressing Kelly White, aka Glue GirlQuote:"This is going to hurt you alot more than it hurts me."Background: Walter is a mutant whose powers have just surfaced. On the way to school one afternoon he was attacked and captured by a Genocide like organization known as the Institute for Human Advancement. He and four other young mutuants were held in a small containment center. They were tested and were in the process of being brainwashed to not use their mutant powers ever again when one of the young ladies managed to damage the inhibitor collar Walter was wearing. Transforming, he was able to free the others and they made their escape from the facility. During their escape they encountered neophyte hero Raven; who had helped other's escape. When they had made good their escape and contacted authorities, the IHA had already abandoned the sight and no evidence was found. The teenagers decided to stay to gether and form a team to protect humans and mutants alike. They were dubbed "Young Lions" by one newspaper and took that name to be their official team moniker. He has a crush on Glue Girl.Powers/Tactics: 1) Armor Up

2) Bash the snot out of enemies

3) Go have pizza.

Campaign Use: The Young Lions are a low powered supergroup. Their membership is made up entirely of the mutants who had been abducted, but they are not a "Mutant" team in that their only goal is to protect mutuantkind from the dangers of Genocide and the IHA (which at this point in my universe are separate entities). Yeah, he's alot like Colossus don't you think?

Appearance: Michelle Towers is a beautiful young lady. She dresses in fashions she has designed. Although she has been asked to model, she prefers designing the clothes to being seen in them.

Her costume consists of a gold bodysuit with white gloves, boots and a red sash. She has two "M" symbols on her torso. Her hair is worn long and she wears a golden mask that covers the top of her head.

Personality: A psionic mutant, Michelle Towers is pursued by anti mutant groups, recruiters for modeling agencies, colleges, and PSI. She tries to balance superheroing with an active life but often feels a bit drained. Her parents have encouraged her to use her powers for the good of everyone. To tell you the truth, superheroin is the most rewarding thing she does. She enjoys the attention though and is still a bit vain about her good looks.Quote:"Perhaps you should change your mind before I change it for you."Background: Michelle Towers' parents knew of her powers and encouraged her to practice their use. When the IHA agents attempted to kidnap her she could have defeated them easily but allowed them to take her so she could find out if there were others taken. She helped them with the escape and when Raven gathered a group of them to find those responsible for a young girl's death, she joined up. The teenagers became the Young Lions.Powers/Tactics: A mentalist. Michelle lacks a damaging attack unless her Mind Games ability does damage. She can affect an astral form and hide from those around her if she needs be.Campaign Use: 03

Not a criticism, but what is your take on having OIHID limitations plus Instant Change (like maybe Leadboy has) ? I'm not sure if Leadboy can instantly turn into his heroic form, but for the sake of argument suppose he does. Is it still OK to take OIHID on a bunch of powers?

 

One hand says "If it isn't limiting, it's worth nothing." The other says "He paid points for Instant Change so it's OK. Besides, he has a secret ID & transforming blows his cover - so it's still limiting."

 

I've wondered about this, since I like the secret ID & OIHID seems natural - though I'd hate to be out of action for a Turn!

Height: 1.78 m Hair: Blonde
Weight: 68.00 kg Eyes: Blue
Appearance: The Achilles battlesuit is black with golden armor plates and helm. It is designed to look like Greek Hoplite armor. The Hyperion Mk I is gold. Outside his costume, Louis is blonde haired, blue eyes and athletically built. He wears one of three tailored suits to social and business functions; one black, two blue.Personality: Eager to test his weapons and seek adventure, Achilles has gained a reputation as a bit of a loose cannon. He is protective of life and does his best to make sure innocents are unharmed and villians are brought back alive. He seeks new thrills and jumps into combat with obviously superior foes to see if he can figure something out.Quote:"Take it from me. This gun will hurt you."Background: Louis Martin always dreamed of being a hero like Jason or Heracles. An avid reader of the Olympian mythological tales since his childhood. Louis graduated from the first class of the New Millenium University. He took a job with Binary Corporation. It was there that he begin to design and build his weaponry. Careful to conceal his notations and fortunate to work on several projects; Louis, under the tuteladge of his father Dr Stephen Martin (no relation), contributed to several important projects for Binary Corp.. This earned him a bit of lee way when he was starting his own projects. Using materials bought with his own money and designs he developed while working on various projects, Louis and his personal assistant Lisa Gadeus developed the initial Achilles Uniform and weapons. During a round of layoffs, Louis took voluntery retirement (after a whopping 2 years employment) and then recieved a consulting contract from Binary. He began his own firm (Hoplite Consulting) and hired Lisa away from Binary. Lisa is his representative at Binary and does most of the day to day for that account. Louis spends most of his time as Achilles and checks in a Binary from time to time. He is managing to make ends meet.Powers/Tactics: At the moment, Achilles uses the initial equipment he designed, the Battlesuit with Ikkaris Flight pack (complete with hologrpahic wings) and Delphi sensor system, the Hyperion Rifle, and his energy blade. He might add more to the suit, or more weapons. He uses the Hyperion almost exclusively, the blade is only for nonliving matter. He has little to no Hand to Hand abilities so he tends to stay away from his foes.Campaign Use: A neophyte super who could join a new group or be mentored by more experienced heroes.

Cost Summary:Base Points:1235Disadvantage Points: 165Total Experience Available: 0Total Character Cost: 1400Height: 1.90 mHair: BrownWeight: 75.00 kgEyes: BlueAppearance: A ravishing dark-haired beauty with ice blue eyes and fair skin, Irina is one of the most photographed women in the world. She wears styles from elegant simplicity to femme fatale daring depending on the circumstances, but she generally has plenty of protection either externally (agents) or concealed in her outfit, and most often both. Irina moves with the easy grace of a dancer, her mannerisms can range from conciliatory to predatory but she maintains a careful air of courtesy and has a ready smile for the world.Personality: A classy woman with the heart and title of granted nobility. She sees her nation as HER people, her family, her property. She is proud without being overtly arrogant, intellectual without being otherworldly, and commanding with out being a megalomaniac. She is honorable and good natured if not a little unimpressed with most people she meets. She has admirers and the papers often make a big deal about her affairs, and she has dated some of the most famous men on the planet, actors, musicians, royalty, superheroes, and even for a week; Foxbat.Quote:"Do not make me remove you."Background: The precious daughter of one of the most reviled man of twentieth century. Irina's father was Yuri Durkova, known during his lifetime as the Victor, The Liberator, and the Tyrant. Yuri was transformed from an earnest and willing Russian Soldier into the Victor, Russia's premier super soldier during World War II. He was a typical flag suited type, enhanced but not superhuman physical attributes and intense training. Unbeknownst to his creators, Yuri also developed a super genius intellect as a result of the process. He studied in private, turning himself into a technological wunderkind over the course of the war. Yuri kept many things from his superiors. He was a proud Russian, not Soviet; he chafed under the communist system that seemed only to keep the working class at bay. During the 1950's he was a tool of the government, speaking, performing feats, and battling "insurgents". He often found himself confronting his old WWII Allies and hated it. During this time the Victor was slowly spreading his influence in the military, by 1961, he had found enough support that he felt he could leave his life behind and launch his most ambitious project ever, running a country. On February 3rd 1962, a now Powered Armor Clad Durkova, lead three Russian regiments into what was one the Rostov Oblast and declared it the "Free Nation of Silver" (can't translate to Russian, sorry?). Durkova had planned this out so far in advance and he used the Cold War to his advantage, he calling on old western friends convinced the NATO allies that having a free enterprise nation in the middle of the Soviet Block would be a tremendous boon to them. He also had enough damaging evidence on his former leaders that the USSR abstained from a vote and his "Nation of Silver" was given UN recognition.

Dubbed the Liberator by his people, he took over as the head of state and instituted a progressive meritocracy and convinced a lot of western powers to help his country stay afloat until it could support itself. Things started to sour between the Liberator and the West in the later 70's and he was dubbed the Tyrant by the western media. Durkova would not allow western business interests to gain a foothold in his nation and exploit his people; he also was no where near as forthcoming with the Soviet Military secrets that they were expecting. Irina was born in 1971, her mother has never been revealed and it is unclear whether or not she had one (a "test tube" baby? Clone?). What is clear; is while he would occasionally clash with the west, the Tyrant was far more interested in protecting his tiny nation’s people than taking over the world. He fought to expand his borders deeper into the USSR as well as the Ukraine. He clashed with western heroes when he clashed with western business and military interests, but he never tried to take over the world. He often opposed Dr. Destroyer, seeing the megalomaniac as great a threat to his people as the rest of the world and on a few occasions physically confronted the Doctor. The Tyrant died during an invasion attempt of Earth by Istvatha V'han. At the ripe old age of 18, Irina became the Empress. She has proven an even more capable leader and genius than her father. Beautiful, powerful, and graceful, she is a star in the metahuman, scientific, political, and celebrity skies. Irina, often simply referred to as Empress, has presided over the impressive technological, economic, and political rise of her nation. When Destroyer was slain by his own machinations, his underlings went there separate ways and Empress and some of her "Elite Guard" swept into the fray and made off with technology and agents, robots, and weapons. She has over the years incorporated this technology with her own.

While not overtly concerned with taking over the world, there are those who think that is her goal. Some of these people aren't sure that it would be worse then than it is now.

Powers/Tactics: Aside from her perfect physical attributes and martial arts training, Empress wears several different suits of armor; the most famous is a force field backed metallic gray "evening gown" with appealing light pulses along its contours. She never wears a mask. Her battle armors, even the heavy assault types are very flattering and make her look like a Goddess. She makes good of technology several decades ahead of the norm, she has teleportation technology, psionic circuitry, cloning (although crude by Telios's Standards), antigravity, and more. She is rarely encountered without agents or her "Elite Guard" of superhuman champions.Campaign Use: Help, hindrance, romance, and rivalry, she can be almost anything. She can take on entire groups on her own, or just let her agents, robots, superhuman bodyguards, and others fight for her. She could be met at a Gala, an ally against either European evil or an alien invasion. The heroes could be investigating leads that point towards Empress' nation and corruption.
