Steve Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hercules may also be another character by Thor's player, a more straightforward brick who enjoys carousing with any NPC ladies that catch his fancy. Or maybe he's a frat boy who secretly enjoys gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hercules is played by Mortimer Snerd. Mortimer really really really wants to be like Hercules. Mortimer has never spoken to a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Starfox's player would be the frat-boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead guy on the tab Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Mantis is played by the vegan from eastern philosophy class the GM is dating And Moondragon is the feminist from psychology class the GM is dating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead guy on the tab Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The guy playing the hulk went to playing Captain America. That's how Rick Jones went from being a sidekick for one to a sidekick for the other CES I can see the GM regretting allowing the player building the Hulk with the team bomb combination (Distrustful of others + Berserk 14-, 8-) "Fine, Fine, you can play your Golden Age Hero that you spent months on a backstory for".

Balabanto Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The guy who is so obsessed with playing against type and being a realistic roleplayer, despite the fact that it's not terribly realistic. "I know. My hero won't be handsome or kind or polite. He'll be fat. And balding. And middle aged!" So he creates Doctor Druid. And then when that goes away, he says "I can't believe the only members of the Avengers who are black, ever, are Black Panther and Captain America's sidekick." So he creates Triathlon.

Or does he start as a former V&V player who bought into the play yourself as a character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ms. Marvel/Warbird/Binary/Captain Marvel is played by the sister of one of the main players who keeps rebuilding her character. She started out an angry feminist but calms down with each rebuild and becomes a good team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wremus Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm going to be borrowing/swiping a lot of these ideas and thoughts if I ever get my Champions 101 project going. Great way of helping GMs relate to character designs and player types. Double ditto. I was going to come on here and say that the Fantastic Four would be a better campaign, but now that I see what's actually happening here, I love it. This is my favorite thread.

Christopher R Taylor Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Quicksilver is a fan of The Flash and read the back of the Champions book, but ends up frustrated because he couldn't afford all the powers he wanted and is surly all the time. Tigra is played by an anime fan boy who meticulously drew 82 versions of the character like he's working on an animated show of her and writes fan fiction stories of her between sessions.

Dead guy on the tab Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm guessing that the campaign started pre-4th edition as all the early players were bricks (Hulk, Thor, Giant-Man) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can practically see the indignation radiating off of him at not having his own dedicated speedster museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Iron Man is played by a tech geek who loves rebuilding his armor's abilities to keep ahead of real world technology. He also loves plumbing his character's depths through tragedies and recovering from them: examples include alchoholism, losing his fortune/company and plotlines with ill-fated romances (Black Widow/Madame Masque).

Hyper-Man Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Several players wanted to play Spider-Man but gave up when they realized how wimpy he would be on starting character points. "Only a 4d6 Entangle?! You're kidding right? Right?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Beast is playing in both the X-Men and Avengers campaigns. Spider-man appears in the Avengers campaign sometimes, but his player prefers the solo campaign the GM runs for him since he loves the spotlight and plumbing the character. There's also some crossover with the Fantastic Four campaign, but that one is more exploration than crimefighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
