That just seems like a feature of Secret Identity to me.  Yes, your job will suffer if the public finds out you're Dr Slaughter, whatever it might happen to be.

I agree.The descriptions of these disadvantages seem to be mutually exclusive. I certainly wouldn't have allowed it on a character i my campaigns.

Just a 'reminded', it wouldn't be listed as "Public Identity" but "Social Complication: Famous Rock Star (Obligation To Fans, Band Mates, Reporters, ect...)".

Agreed. I was just giving my ideas for his reasoning. Also - I still think he was gigging.

Today's Zodiac Conspiracy offering: Pisces, the fish.  I recolored her as a start then decided I'd leave the rest as is.  They aren't quite as fancy with the shading and all but they look good and it saves me a lot of work.  She's an Atlantean princess without any name given other than "Pisces."  Trapped in her environment suit, she is known by some to be the violent, destructive villain Blackfin, but is now the violent, destructive villain Pisces.

Sagittarius, the Archer.  Her illustration doesn't really match her description or powers; she's supposed to have a mask that gives her expanded spectrum vision and flash defense.  A fashion model with an almost psychotic temper.

Scorpio with a very odd and awkward looking outfit.  Ninja assassin type that tries to strike invisibly and disappear.  His sheet was a bit of a mess; he has no weapons but can use his martial arts with "common weapons" and his description mentions the ability to generate darkness, but he didn't have the power purchased.

Taurus, the big boss and originator of the Zodiac Conspiracy.  I'm not sure if Capricorn or Taurus is the oldest member, but he's been around a very long time.  Immortal, brilliant, and enhanced by cybernetics, he's a handful for any group.  All you need is Theseus to help you beat him :)  I had a bit of a philosophical disagreement with some of the build; for example they gave his radar OIF, and unless a dish pops out of his head or something, nobody is going to know he has that so I made it IIF.  I also gave him some armor without the cybernetics, since he was supposed to be a tough customer even before he got armor plating.

 

His personality is interesting though.  He dislikes violence, prefers not to kill, and is a bit of a philosopher.  He'll occaionally go nuts in combat or if treated with insufficient respect, but is actually quite thoughtful and introspective, likely the result of a 3000-year lifespan so far. Having studied under men such as Socrates, Demosthenes, Euclid, Kepler, Copernicus, Newton, Brahms, DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Beethoven, and Einstein in a magical disguise by Capricorn, he's pretty well educated.  Taurus wants to rule the world, but because he believes he knows best and would be an excellent philosopher king - one whose successor one need never worry about.

These guys are great. Also, didn't Taurus's character description mention a VPP that never made it to his sheet? I seem to recall that

Yeah, actually it does; a 50 point short-term cosmic power pool.  I probably should put that in his sheet, now that you mention it.  He also has an orbital starship base of unknown point value I should give him as well.  Rebuilding...

Last of the Zodiac Conspiracy: Virgo, the mentalist and reluctant villainess.  She doesn't like hurting people, feels bad fighting superheroes, and tries to use powers that won't cause permanent harm.  Her write up mentions a Force Wall she uses to frustrate heroes with, but it wasn't in her Multipower, so I built her a Barrier.

Now that I'm done with Zodiac, I think I'll do one of my favorite Hero modules, To Serve And Protect by Scott Heine.  Quite a few heroes in the Protectors, plus the South American resurrected sorceress.  When I ran the module in my campaign it had quite a significant impact, and basically wiped out the Protectors.  One of them even turned into a permanent vigilante type supervillain, amped up by the Coatlique.
