If they do I beleive there should be some limitation. 1 post = 1 character point. Or they write themselves up as a standard super and then add their post count as bonus points. Sounds fair.

Sounds fair to me.

Here are a few mined notes from another Superhero board.......

Agility: 13

Will: 10

Intelligence: 12

Presence: 15

Willpower B: The New Rook may add up to +10 spread among all of his stats for however long he can maintain his concentration. This does not affect Hit points, but in almost every other way aids his battle against Crime.

 

Body power: Skippymonster can eat almost anything (raw ramen noodles, paper, $0.25 fruit pies and many other disgusting things)including things that people from the future consider disgusting and things we anachrons consider disgusting but the futureworlders consider delightful.

As a side effect poisons take at least 10 minutes to get past his digestive system and ANY poison has a 30% chance of failure.

 

Natural Weaponry:(Hyperactivity, Eclectic Martial Arts background, a bit rusty) +1 to hit +1 damage HTH, Special: +2 to hit -2 to be hit in all HTH combat, this also applies to attacks with blunt HTH weapons.

 

Weakness: Diminished Senses: Attention Deficit Disorder: has trouble following conversations in a noisy environment, and keeping him from appearing to be an idiot, Listening to more than on person at a time, tracking anything other than the gorgeous women in the same building....errrr where was I? or keeping on track when there’s a nifty V&V web forum to play with.

 

Anyone Else? C’mon!

Origin: Born to a Father experimented upon by Rasputin the Mad (gaining limited psionic powers in the process) Rookie Recieved much early training fromthe Priests of the temple in handling his Earth Magics after his father Died while attempting to escape from Japan during WWII. Rookie left the temple after 30 years of training to pursue a religious Goal of the Monastary as well as to leave a life turned sour by prejudice and favoritism.

He accquired from his father a skill for Foreign War Correspondance( Daily Planet’s Foreign Correspondent in Japan just before WWII).

While in Japan Learned of the depths of evil from a Bloodspeaker Cult. His Monastic Training included Martial training(7 ranks now raised to an incredible 9 ranks through Training) as well as Japanese Mechanised Cavalry repair( about usesless unless you are a Superhero who builds his own vehicles....)

Rookie is also a Formally trained Archetect and Handyman with an understanding of Electrical and Lumber (good for build your own bases stuff)

and Rookie Speaks Fluent Japanese and English, with hints of Lebanese and an Aussie accent very infrequently.

 

as a final few notes Rookie has contact with a Powerful Oklahomian Senator for only the greatest of emergencies. Rookies outfit when washed turns white and Brown, when worn it quickly becomes Grey and Black(unknown cause). The outfit is a combination of Black leathor and grey tights in appearance (with leathor Gloves, boots, chest plates and (groin area protection). Tights covering the rest of his body except from the neck up. He wears a grey (white) bandanna to conceal his idenity. Underneath of which he has some sort of growth that aids in concealing his identity (akin to the Shadow and his nose) even when he looses the mask.

 

This background and Skill set was inspired by Paul Jacques Heroes Now. The Background system really jelled the few scattered concepts I had had over the past two Decades about everything Rookie Was.... well, to quote a friend

"sometimes the Dice Just Know"-Steve Koenig

D’oh!

fer got to add:

Both of his brothers have been short lived superheroes(returning to normalcy after a single adventure), Rookies Daughters have both been discovering incredible psionic/magical aptitudes and have both defeated Supervillians on their own. Rookies Nephew has not shown any powers as of yet....

Origin & Background: see above

 

Combat Tactics / M.O.:Alex's powers tend to push him to the back of a battle.

 

Physical Description:Alex is a dark haired 5’ 11" average appearing guy in his 30’s. In his combat persona he wears a leathor jacket and denim jeans with a white tee shirt and a Blue Beret' with some odd badges/pins in it*. The jacket has several odd patches on it indicating either alliance with or membership in several groups. He has no real discernable accent, occasionally picking up an odd turn of phrase here or there or imitating one accent or another. For a Southern gentleman, he certainly has nothing to mark him as such in his speech.

Hey, if you want it in a hurry. I'll just buy my stats up real high, buy every sense, every defense, every movement with mega-scale options, and I'll buy a +2 variable advantage on strength.

I wouldn't worry too much about him....he'd still have to deal with me (CKC pg 141). Before he knew it, his post total (and, therefore, character points) would be dropped to 2 with some simple hacking.

 

A few "alterations" to the Department of Defense and FBI systems and he'd no longer be a concern...

My own preference

 

for a power would be a single super-skill:

 

KS: Everything (100-)

 

'cause sometimes it seems like I'm expected to know the answer, regardless of the subject.
