The One (Loong Story)

[zakueins]

I'll tell you his enire background info once I think I have him revised to a good version.

 

Basically, this is a "real world" version of Neo, a'la Keannu Reeves, with the powers that he has at the last few scenes of Matrix Reloaded.

 

Comments, complaints, threats upon my life are welcome.

You should post the Char. File I like the idea but don't know if I would make his stats so low or do the V.P.P. options you have. I think the two are both actualy only one power that could be purchased by him. (Of course after having watched the third movie I would give him a small personal V.P.P. or some Aid to reprecent how he starts of casual then goes "Upgrades" and starts fighting as full force.)

[Trebuchet]

Not bad. I think you wasted quite a few points with the martial maneuvers; many maneuvers from UMA are redundant, such as Fast Strike and Martial Strike. Trim it down to 15 or so basic maneuvers. Likewise with his KS's of so many arts, I'd just buy it as KS: All Martial Arts Styles at a 21- level.

 

I agree with Ndreare. Given how he knocks Smith around in the courtyard brawl, I think a 25 STR is too low. 35-40 STR is probably more accurate. He's a low level brick strength-wise. I'd give him more STUN too, he's really hard to knock out.

 

Is that attack he used on the Sentinels at the end of M:R really Mind Control, or more like an Ego Blast only vs. sentient machines?

[zakueins]

I'll probably trim some of the maneuvers, and definitely boost the STR to 45. I'm keeping all the KS skills, tho.

 

I'm saying it's mind-control, mostly from things I saw in Revolutions when Neo controlled the Bombs and made them blow up. I'll probably add a "Hmmm, Upgrades" slot in th multi-power, based upon the KS:Analyze Skill roll, as a personal Aid to DEX.

Newest Revision of The One. Yes, we now have the "hmm, upgrades" ability.

Acting?!? NO version of Keanu Reaves should have Acting...lol

[Magmarock]

Hey Levi! Put a sock in it! I think Keanu is an awesome actor. Plus, he is hot!

 

Zakueins: Dude, you forgot DNPCs! Lots of DNPCs! Also, at the very least, Trinity and Morpheus(?) are his sidekicks, right?

 

And don't forget his PSYCH LIM: In love with Trinity- will do ANYTHING to save her ass.

This is not "The One", aka Neo, played by Keannu Reeves.

 

This is Keannu Reeves, whom somehow has the powers and the abilities of "The One".

 

And, yes, he had tried to jack out at least once. No luck.

Background/History-The two films produced after 1999's cult classic The Matrix were filmed after the First Advent on 9/11/01. On the set, during a gun-fight scene, Keannu Reeves was shot at by a machine gun that was supposed to have been loaded wtih blanks, but had live ammo.

 

And, he made the bullets stop in mid-air.

 

Since then, it hasn't gotten any better. Every time he shows up somewhere to film a movie, something happens. From his appearance in England (where he helped some heros in England defeat a group of Nameless Horrors) to some in New York (during a gunfight when he got caught in the crossfire between two rival drug gangs, a man whom was the spitting image of an Agent appeared and nearly killed Keannu-and killed either with his bare hands or a gun all of the gang bangers), whenever he appears something happens.

 

And, the movie studios consider it perfect free publicity.

 

Personality/Motivation:Keannu Reeves is responsable, whatever else he is. He'll film through a broken leg if he has to, because the show must go on. And, whenever there's trouble, he's going to solve it-however and whatever it takes.

 

One thing that worries him is this-how did he get his powers and is he truly in the "Real World"? Several times that he's tried to "jack out", something has gone wrong. That he's starting to develop some mystical senses (in the next revision, after Constantine comes out) means that maybe it's superhuman beings that are migrating into his skin.

 

Quote:"Woah."

 

Powers/Tactics:Keannu Reeves is the metahuman martial artist to beat. Besides superhuman strength and agility, he can take quite a bit of abuse before he's down for the count. As well, he can "summon" guns and equipment from under his jacket, so long as the jacket is long enough to reasonably conceal it. A gift from a "unknown admirer" gave him a torso/upper legs/upper arm set of Spider Silk armor, and he has the abilities of Neo-powers and the ability to change skills on-the-fly if he has access to a phone. Recently, his "phone power" has allowed him to get maps of an area ahead of time, even the most secure.

 

In combat, he's fast-he'll take down the biggest threats hard, no matter what it takes. He'll pull his punches in terms of damage on "normals", but metahumans he goes all out for. He does know the value of retreat, and will use terrain and manuever to his advantage.

 

Campaign Use:This was built for the Modern Champions! game that I hope to run one day. For other games, he could be anything from one of Dr. Destroyer's agents to a superhero that gains his powers from the movies (30 minutes per film, perhaps?).

 

Appearance:It's Keannu Reeves

One question:Why Jack of All Trades? Sans the skills VPP, he only has one PS.

Say what you will about Keanu's acting (and I think he's a better actor than he's given credit for; too many still think of him as "Ted"), it's Neo who was the really good actor--in the Merovingian's restaurant he had to make himself believe he was kissing Trinity when he was actually kissing Persephone, so that she would feel the passion and devotion that he felt towards Trinity.

 

Now I don't know what Neo's Acting skill roll is, but at that moment he beat it by better than half. Probably rolled a three, I'd say.

[zakueins]

He might get more skills soon. Lemme check my notes.

Re: The One (Loong Story)

 

Revised to include his most recent film Constantine, and some other weird stuff. This is built for the Advent universe (gotta get the notes together and publish it...), for players in Champions!, I'd add quite a few Hunteds. DEMON, the Demonologist, VIPER, and Takophanes the Undyling Lord come to mind....

Re: The One (Loong Story)

 

To be honest, I dont think ANY KS: Martial Arts should go on Keanu at all...

 

If you look at the Matrix he was downloaded with several martial arts STYLES, which is being represented by the MA maneuvers he's being given...

 

Now a knowledge skill is the inherent interworkings of a specific thing. To me, this includes background knowledge of when it was made, religious overtones, which cultures practiced it, the spiritual practices (if any) around which the martial arts focuses on, the mindset of what the art represents, and what its place was in historical context. I don't beleive ANY of these apply to Keanu...at all. He didnt "know" anything about the martial art, he just knew HOW to do it...like body reflex.

 

At the same time, many could argue that its also bretahing techniques, how and when to use the MA, and what its weaknesses are, in which case it WOULD apply, however this could just as easily be represented by the skads of manuevers he has as well....It seems that most of the "downloads" in the matrix could be directly related to body memory and reflex (even piloting).

 

With that said, this is your little version of him, so have fun, but KnowledgeSkills really don't apply in this case....

Re: The One (Loong Story)

 

OK... I know that the character is of your own design.... but making it Keannu Reeves?? Well... not my thing

 

I like the write up that you made. I saw write up on another board which made the character out a little differently. That character had the delusion that he was linked to a super computer that downloaded what he needed. He HAD to use a special cell-phone to make contact. The truth was that he had strong metahuman abilities allowing him to basically create what he wanted. The catch was that he had to "call" for it. It was an interesting twist on things I thought.

Re: The One (Loong Story)

 

I'm making the presumption that he knows the "moves"-i.e. the Manuvers, and he's got some of the basics of what's behind the Art in the first place.
