Christopher R Taylor Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 TetsuRonin, or the Iron Ronin is a samurai themed iron man villain in YooSoo, representing the element of Metal. I broke my self-made rule slightly with him and added a "watched" complication because his ambition would surely cause him to be carefully monitored by his bosses.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think these builds aren't as familiar and beloved as some but they're worth looking over. Allston did a great job with Ninja Hero and these villains can add a lot to any Champions game. They are an easy plug in for Japanese- and Chinese-themed villains for a GM to throw at their heroes. rjd59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Kami No Hayashi, the Woods Spirit, for the element of Wood in Yoosoo. She's a mystical being that has only been in human form a few years and has no real name, although they call her Kiko. She works with the evil villains because she believes their boss controls her tree and hence her life. Note that her martial arts training is only for the shaft/pole of the naginata, not the blade: she doesn't use it in her aikido for killing. At 5' tall and 95 pounds she seems small and weak but is a lot tougher than she looks. I built her Naginata as a multipower since it had multiple uses for a single device. Its Restrainable because it appears to be something she manifests rather than an actual weapon (see image). I also changed her Aikido slightly to be more in line with the style; there's no strike but in its place is a couple of grabs and throws.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 The final member of Yoosoo: Tsuchi, or Earth. A tragic figure, he's as miserable as his picture seems like he is (which I tried to play up by a bottom-up lighting scheme). A promising young sumo wrestler, by 18 he was dominating the sport until he was revealed to be a mutant and his power kept growing. Thrown out of the sport, disgraced, and humiliated, the young man is despondant and seeks death indirectly by taking foolish risks. He's in love with Wood (Kami No Hayashi, above) but is convinced this cannot ever be, so its just one more way to be miserable. I really like this kind of villain, because smart and well played characters can reach out to them and move them away from their status to redeem them, as it were. Tsuchi is ... well he's broken. He's a character I wouldn't allow anyone to build. Hugely mobile with his leaping ability, incredibly strong, and nearly impossible to put down, he'd be a handful just on his own, but with the entire team... you better be a pretty experienced supergroup. He will not miss very often (almost never, with a 14 OCV grab) and does horrendous damage. He doesn't have any specialty defenses (life support, power/mental/flash defense) so that's your only real hope.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Surprise! In various places of the 4th edition rules there was a character mentioned and used for examples called "Sipristi" but that character was never actually written up anywhere. You got a sense of the character as a martial arist/ninja type, and that the name is a variant on an oath used by French characters in fiction "Sapristi!" meaning roughly "good lord!" or "good heavens!" Well Aaron Allston wrote her up for Ninja Hero, and here's her full character sheet: a half-Italian, half-Japanese woman who is a lawyer by day and a ninja by night fighting injustice and to help children. She's an Asian girl with green eyes, which, as Jack Burton knows, is impossible! But very special.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Kingdom of Champions was released in 1990, written by Phil Masters. It is, along with Champions of the North, one of my favorite supplements for Champions, and I wish the Champions Down Under book could have been written and released as well. Covering the UK's culture, language, laws, history, and more, it gave a nice very brief thumbnail sketch of the Isles so that GMs could more comfortably and accurately run games set in the area. Now you can have Uber-Man and Uber-Boy visit London! KOC has even more characters and adventures than Champions of the North, and to make them all fit well, the bulk of the character builds are in very condensed, digest form. However, they include all the necessary information for conversions to 6th edition, unlike many of the Strike Force characters that lacked key info such as complications. Unfortunately, the interior artwork was done by Ben Edlund an Abert Deschesne, neither of whom are my favorite artists. I'm not saying I'm any better, just that I don't like their work as much as other artists such as Paul Zircher and Denis Loubet. How many of the dozens of characters in this book I'll do I don't know; I'll at least get the main superhero groups done and some of the villains. First on the block is Clansman, from Scotland. He's kind of a super-commando type with gadgets. He's the leader of of the New Knights of the Round Table, one of the UK's premier superhero teams. Unfortunately due to an error, he has no complications listed and sadly the errata page I found listed does not address this, so I had to wing it based on his description and character.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The Consul is a brick for the New Knights of the Round Table, and he's curiously similar to Obsidian in origin. Sent to earth as a diplomat from an alien race, he didn't quite get the dress code right and showed up in Victorian era togs, but has kept them. However, unlike Obsidian, Consul is actually a sophisticated android, and has been programmed to behave like a diplomat from the 19th century so he's all old fashioned style and etiquette. His attitude is both refreshing and sometimes shocking; he's always diplomatic with incredible old world courtesy and manners, but dated in many attitudes toward women and social groups.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Albion is the mystical member of the New Knights of the Round Table. A medieval alchemist from the 13th century, he perfected the Philosopher's Stone which would allow him to, among other things, live forever and convert any element into any other element (including base metals to gold). However, an explosion rent his lab and Chandros woke up in the modern era, possessing the body of a homeless woman who committed suicide by leaping into the ocean. Now he's a spirit that runs about in other bodies, although leaving his main body causes it to begin to decay again. He can use the body to interact with the real world and transform metals, and can possess just about any other person. I used the "possession" power from Advanced Player's Guide I in the place of his mind control, and gave him my standard possession power (strength usable on the real world, only to hold on) so the controlled body doesn't somehow leave him behind.

Albion woke in this body and has stayed with it mostly because it would be a violation to take over someone else's body long term. I changed her build very slightly as well, she was built with a dependence on being possessed to prevent decay, but it was absurdly fast: basically in a matter of minutes she'd crumble to dust. While possessing the body, Albion can manipulate base metals - he cannot use his alchemy on any metals not known or understood in medieval times such as uranium or potassium, but alloys such as steel and such he can work with. Its up to the GM whether he could work with titanium or other higher metals.

Her build was a minimal digest (several of the characters refer to others for base info, in her case Shrinker from 4th edition) and she didn't have much in the way of disads, but I added a vulnerability to knockback when her force field is on, based on the concept and special effects.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 OK the last member of the New Knights of the Round Table, the Gurkha. A little background for people who don't know what a Gurkha is: There was a train robbery in India, with a gang of 40 invading the train, stealing and molesting the passengers. Among the passengers was a retired soldier: “They started snatching jewelry, cell phones, cash, laptops and other belongings from the passengers,” Shrestha recalled. The soldier had somehow remained a silent spectator amidst the melee, but not for long. He had had enough when the robbers stripped an 18-year-old girl sitting next to him and tried to rape her right in front of her parents. He then took out his khukuri and took on the robbers. “The girl cried for help, saying ´You are a soldier, please save a sister´,” Shrestha recalled. Unfortunately for this gang, the soldier was a Gurkha. Back when the British Empire was at its greatest, they were busy in Afghanistan trying to bring peace and civilization, and build colonies to enhance the empire. While fighting in that region, they reached a portion of the area now known as Nepal, and unlike the rest of the area were not able to defeat these stalwart soldiers. The British knew a good thing when they saw it, and instead made friends with the locals, who called themselves Gorkha after the Hindu guru Gorakhnath. Eventually the British were allowed to hire mercenaries from the protectorate, and these men became known as Gurkhas. Gurkhas rapidly became legendary for two things. The first is their bent machete-like blade called a Kukri, the other is their incredible discipline and fighting ability. Gurkhas were an elite force which the British knew they could always rely on to fight hard, terrify their enemies, and fight to the last man. "Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you," they were described for their amazing fighting spirit and their intense loyalty. In this case, the retired Gurkha's loyalty became attached to the girl, and he thought of her as his sister. This was the worst mistake the gang ever made, and the last for several. Srestha reached for his Kukri and when he was done, eight were wounded, three dead, and the remaining dozens were running for their lives. One man against forty; they should have brought more against a Gurkha. When the girl was threatened near him, he had to act. He claims they ran away after twenty minutes because he thinks they figured his buddies were around too. British military history is full of stories about these guys.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Some other Gurkha stories: I read a story of a Gurkha who's arm was wounded during a battle. The British office who was with him was also wounded and either passed out or fell asleep. When he awoke, the Gurkha was holding a pith helmet over the British officers head to shield him from the hot sun while he repeated over and over, "I am a gurka, I will not cry out." The Gurkha's wound was so bad his arm had to be amputated. According to a Korean War Vet, he had an interesting experience sharing the line with a company of Gurkhas. According to the vet, the Ghurkas would crawl out of their holes at night to kill Chinese troops. On more than one occasion, Rangers in his company would report feeling a hand reach down into their hole and touch their helmet, then move on. The Ghurkas would crawl up to the hole and touch the helmet (or headgear) of the occupant. If they found a Chinese soldier, their throat was cut, if they found an American or other ally, they moved on. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grond Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Following this thread. I converted a lot of characters from Kingdom of Champions myself for 5th ed. (we're not playing 6th) especially the ones with reduced size sheets ("use the characteristics for Seeker but with 40 STR" and so on). I just tinkered a bit with Wrath of the Seven Horsemen but there's a lot of work to do there, even converting things straight without adjustments.

Christopher R Taylor Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I kind of stalled because nobody seemed to give a rip about Kingdom of Champions. I'll probably start up again some time with a different project, maybe some old modules like Target: Hero. Kinda busy right now to do the coloring and conversions.

Grond Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The coloring is excellent indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Do The Blood from "The Blood and Dr. McQuark". I loved the Zelazny Amber vibe I got from them. Has anyone converted the 4th edition Champions? I prefer them to the 5th edition iteration (especially Cryptic's interpretation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Cryptic is 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Cryptic is 6th. It's the same team though, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnStrawberry Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've been busy getting my butt kicked in the arena league a few menus down, but I do love this thread and hope it continues. Doesn't even have to be teams, just interesting characters from old supplements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 OK here are a few other threads containing various other conversions to 6th edition by folks so they're easier to find in one thread: Deathstroke by rjd59 The Blood by rjd59 Crusader, Starburst, and the 4th edition Champions by me - the one that started up this madness for me in the first place Some Enemies for Hire and Mutant File rebuilds by Dr Mid-Nite Roadkill by rjd59 Several different write ups for The Guardians, the original team featured in the earliest Champions books. I think that's all of the recent batch, if I missed any maybe someone can post them. HeroGM and Acroyear II 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
