Kristopher Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Good character concept, Arrow. He might be a little old for the field team of the Purple Gang, since right now they're all teens / young adults. Of course, not everyone has to use these guys as opponents in a "Teen Champions" game. They're a highly skilled, highly trained, and highly coordinated team. Imagine a bunch of adult, established heroes getting their butts handed to them by a bunch of "kids" in black and purple getups! If you run the kind of setting with heavy press coverage of superhumans, imagine what the headlines and magazine covers would look like. They heroes would be the laughingstock of alt.supers.gossip! Anyway, Purple Heart is a good idea. You've been reading this thread, you've got a good handle on this thing, why not write him up yourself? EDIT: Not sure why I typed "Treb" when I was replying to Crimson Arrow. My brain replaces nouns sometimes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristopher Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Deep Purple Here's that .hdc file for Deep Purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Arrow Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I have started writing up Purple Heart, although he's a bit bland at the moment. Pretty dangerous, but bland! I am unlikely to get him done before Monday, as I am busy tonight and going away for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristopher Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 So, Crimson, is it Monday yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristopher Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Anyway, while I'm back on the subject, I was thinking of something a couple of days ago. I have two questions about these guys: A) Which "Age" do they belong to? Which genre conventions, if any, do they violate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 i think i may have to use deep purple as the basis for a hero write up of the envoy corp from richard morgans altered carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Arrow Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Originally posted by Kristopher So, Crimson, is it Monday yet? Good job I never said which Monday. It's funny because I thought about this thread only a couple of days ago. I've actually done precious little RPG stuff over the last few months. I'd hoped to do Purple Heart, Red Elk and the other two Furies over Christmas. Except I didn't. I will eventually. Just don't hold your breath.

freakboy6117 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Yes I think deep purple would work as a blueprint for Takeshi Kovacs only really needs intuitional danger sense something like universal translator but for local culture, and someway of handling the deductive boost of the envoy intuition. His eidetic memory talent should be built with discriminatory and analyze. Some heightened tolerance for pain and a small multi-power pool to represent envoy tricks With his skills I'd drop the sciences add a skill boost too social skills and auto fire and two weapon fighting skills. I'd notch up the ego slightly and add a bit more mental defense and then drop his intelligence to 18-20 (he's smart but not that smart) Then you just need to find a way to do the re-sleeving process, which I guess would be duplication based. Then you just need to change the Disadvantages to reflect the pathology and reputation of envoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me, sometimes, the questions that end up ignored, while the same questions about the same thing end up answered over and over again with each new thread.
