Is he indeed a prince? Is he even of noble birth? Some have even speculated that he may be a female, but many decry that theory as feminist clap trap. Thing known about him are that he's a genius in the fields of robotics, mechanics and electricity. He's well educated, speaks multiple languages (left blank for you to fill in) and has numerous scientific degrees (Prof Machina said that from his talking he has at least Physics and probably others). He never is seen in person but rather sends his mechano men to respond to his desires. He seems to have some sort of link with the giant metal men as he will talk through them and seems to see through them in real time. What his final goals are is unknown, but when he sends his men in force destruction is usually a result. Personality/Motivation: I have made this nebulous so you can tailor it to your game. But it should be grand. Taking over a country would be prelude to bigger things. Revenge? Perhaps preparing the world for a great danger (Mars Needs .....) And there is always the classic, the world is coming to a crisis and only I can fix it! Quote: Powers/Tactics: What Prince Nemesis is like personally is up to debate. But the powers of his mechano men are not in dispute. They come in three types: Mechano men B- Are about 2 meters tall, vaguely humanoid with large club like appendages at the hands. They have the ability to fire bolts of electricity but are limited by their capacitor. Mechano men A- Much larger and heavier with a tougher frame. They do the heavy lifting, and can like the A-model, fire bolts of electricity. Mechano man Omega- Much more human in appearance and the model that does most of the speaking. Still extremely strong and its electrical bolts seem to have a more advanced battery as it seems to be able to fire almost continuously. In all cases there will be at least five A-Models for every B-Model there. If there are more that 20-30 there will be an Omega for certain. So far no operation has seen more than one, but many fear any occurrence where more than two are present. Tactically, Prince Nemesis is very good. Usually he'll rely on brute force, but when the occasion demands, he will begin moving his men in a coordinated manner, with support and retreats when called for. Campaign Use: Potential world conqueror? Major opponent to the PCs. This is the time of large businesses being formed. Is he a Robber Baron using his minions to take over various industries? Again I leave it to you! (Personally I like that he is female and a robber baroness, she'll show them how to run a company and how they ignored her at their peril) Appearance: ????? As they have never been seen. Yeah I took a lot of different sources into this. But I think it is cool. To Power up..... More men and maybe a few different models. one that can fly would really make players gasp. Prince Nemesis is more a behind the scenes villain, so a face to face encounter should be a final culmination of a very long story arc To Power down... Fewer robots?

Mr. R Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Now onto something different, a homage to a villain team from the Fantastic Four, the Salem Seven. Note this is not a direct translation, more I am using them as inspiration for a villain team that could be used in a campaign. Or take a villain or two for filler. so first up Brutacus Quote 2020 #48 Brutacus Val Char Cost Roll Notes 60 STR 50 21- Lift 102.4tons; 12d6 [6] 18 DEX 24 13- OCV: 6/DCV: 6 30 CON 40 15- 15 BODY 10 12- 13 INT 3 12- PER Roll 12- 10 EGO 0 11- ECV: 3 20 PRE 10 13- PRE Attack: 4d6 10 COM 0 11- 30 PD 18 Total: 30 PD (30 rPD) 30 ED 24 Total: 30 ED (30 rED) 4 SPD 12 Phases: 3, 6, 9, 12 18 REC 0 60 END 0 60 STUN 0 Total Characteristic Cost: 191 Movement: Running: 11"/22" Leaping: 23"/46" Swimming: 2"/4" Cost Powers END 30 Damage Resistance (30 PD/30 ED) 15 Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) for up to 60 Active Points of STR (15 Active Points) 16 Leaping +11" (23" forward, 11 ½" upward) (Accurate) 2 10 Running +5" (11" total) 1 10 Mental Defense (12 points total) 20 Knockback Resistance -10" Perks 5 Favor 5 Contact (Contact has access to major institutions, Contact has significant Contacts of his own, Contact has useful Skills or resources) 11- Skills 3 Concealment 12- 3 Demolitions 12- 3 Interrogation 13- 3 Paramedics 12- 3 Streetwise 13- 5 Survival 13- 3 TF: Common Motorized Ground Vehicles, Two-Wheeled Motorized Ground Vehicles 12 +4 with any three maneuvers or a tight group of attacks Total Powers & Skill Cost: 146 Total Cost: 337 200+ Disadvantages 10 Hunted: Police 8- (Less Pow; NCI; Harshly Punish) 20 Psychological Limitation: Likes to fight (Very Common; Strong) 10 Physical Limitation: Amnesia (Frequently; Slightly Impairing) 5 Reputation: Likes to fight, 8- 92 Experience Points Total Disadvantage Points: 337 Earned Experience: 0 Spent Experience: 92 Unspent Experience: 0 Background/History: Bruticus is the common trope, the amnesiac super. He's not sure where he's from, but he does have some skills. What he does know is he's super strong and he LIKES to fight. A good tussle is what he lives for and so he left a trail of bodies and buildings in his wake. But unlike some, he has no desire to find out where he's from as he's having too much fun right now. So when a contact suggested this contract for a team that was going to be called the Salem Seven, well if it resulted in some fighting he was in! Personality/Motivation: He wants a good fight. He's much uncomplicated in this regard. That and enough money to indulge himself when he's not fighting! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Run in and start swinging. Once in he's hard to move out (KB resist) and will certainly hit (skill levels). He also has high defenses which is good as he can't seem to block or dodge worth a darn. Campaign Use: Villainous brick! Appearance: 184 cm and 100 kg, he's built. Hair is long and black with brown eyes.

He was the guy to get into a sight and steal files, equipment, samples etc. Then he was sent on a set up job. The employer was sending him in to his own company with the intention to cause it to explode and blame it on the intruder and collect on the insurance. But john lived and the chemical stew he was in gave him a number of powered abilities, chief being able to fire darts or thorn with various properties. Now he needs money to hide out and get revenge. So the contract to the Salem Seven seems a way to do both. Personality/Motivation: Revenge. And money! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Think an archer type without the bow. He's his own launcher. His thorns can impact, explode, dig in for extra damage or be shot in a cone volley in front of himself. Also he can manifest a pair of larger ones to use as fighting sticks! Campaign Use: Got a player whose an industrialist, then Thorn may want to see you punished. If he can make money on it even better. If you can lead him to his former employer.... Appearance: Thorn still looks human but has a few plant features. His hair looks like braids, but are actually plant vines. Also his skin seems rough (almost like bark) and is light brown in color! Otherwise he's 180 cm and 80kg. Amorkca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After many surgeries and rounds of genetic splicing, she was no longer totally human. But before the good Doc could do a live autopsy, his lab was raided by another set of do gooders. In the confusion she managed to escape. Looking at her condition, she decided that she needed money to be able to live a relatively normal life. Thus began her string of robberies and other crimes. Soon she was contacted by a fixer who told her about the Salem Seven. So now she acts as one of their front line fighters in return for a regular paycheck toward a new life. Personality/Motivation: She's not evil, but rather just wants a good life without much work. After what has happened to her, her long term goal is to buy an out of the way place to live in peace and then find a cure.

Of course, in many appearances he has 6 teammates plus their boss to distract the enemy and potentially take hits for him if he always stays at range. Actually his defenses are a bit too high. Let me explain. Way back in 4th ed when I GMed our group had what you could call the rule of X. For us it was 50(65)/50/21/5. 50(65) the Maximum Active DC points (10d6) and the max Active points with advantages (+1/4) 50 Maximum combo pd/ed 21 max dex ( max skill OCV was 10) 5 max spd Now if you wanted to you could bring one up (12d6) BUT one of the others needed to be brought down (40 pd/ed). This worked well for us and allowed us to look at villains and see if they were a challenge, or totally overpowering. So Thorn has 27 dex (+20) and a 6 SPD (+10) Damage is 10d6 (ave) so Def had to go down to 20 (-30) Yes he's a glass cannon, but he's not front line. Think more Capricorn from Zodiac, or better Rainbow Archer. At range he's nasty. He has and OCV of 11, which means in a game with DCV 6-8, he's hitting almost at will. Of course this is MHO. If you want take the idea and modify it how you want. That would still make me happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major problems at home or school, good friends. So when she disappeared her friends and family searched for her for months. To no avail. What they didn't know was she was a victim of (insert corp) latest illegal activity. She was caught and subjected to a number of chemicals in an effort to create super beings. But she died. So they dumped the body. In actuality the process had worked and her body jump started a short time later. After breaking into a grocery store to eat, she caught sight of herself. She looked normal except now she was barely a meter tall. When police responded, she ran, FAST. Afraid to return home she wants a cure for her condition, but that costs money. So she has joined the Seven in the hopes of getting a cure. (Actually the above is a lie. She's a runaway found on the street. Her memories are a result of the damage from her "death") Personality/Motivation: Find a cure! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Classic Speedster. Campaign Use: A mystery and possible chink in the Salem Seven! Appearance: She wears a brown bodysuit with cowl, with darker brown boots and gloves. Her hair is light brown and hangs as a high ponytail from the cowl.

But he had a habit of trying some of the product he was dealing. He especially liked to try the new designer stuff and would mix and match for those interesting effects. Then he tried a combination of some really new stuff and the combination didn't go well. He was put into a coma and was placed in a long term care hospital. There he languished for years. But his body was being changed due to the combination of chemicals. Years later he awoke and literally flew through the wall. Eventually he made contact with his Family members, but times had changed. But a powered member of the Family was useful. But he would need back up. So he was tasked to join the Seven so that they would do jobs for the Family on occasion. So Vacuum became their resident scout and aerial member! Personality/Motivation: He's a bully who likes to push people around. Also he is loyal to the Family. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Vacuum controls air. He doesn't use wind blasts, but targeted vacuum attacks. He can move the air away from a target to cause a momentary vacuum, which causes damage when all the air rushes back. He can due small fast ones that knock you out, or a more severe vacuum that can potentially kill you! Also he can fly and become like a breeze. He usually will fly up to take out opposing fliers so he can control the skies! Campaign Use: He's an opening into more organized crime type stories. Appearance: John has definite Mediterranean feature. Dark hair and eyes. He wears a light blue full bodysuit with darker gloves, boots and trunks!

She has all the skills. But very little of the warmth. For her the title was a way to get into a position where she can lord it over others. But it was better if she was the power behind the throne. That way if something went wrong, well she wasn't in charge. But eventually people started figuring her out and soon she was black listed from a number of areas. She didn't take it well and vowed revenge. But how to do it? Then she remembered about an old spell that would give people super powers. The spell was designed to create a protector. But Sharon wasn't interested in protecting. She took the spell, gathered the materials and got her wish. Now Vertigo will make you sick. Personality/Motivation: Sharon is the classic behind the scenes puppeteer. She'll support anyone who looks like they are in power and try to steer them to fulfill her aims. In the Seven she hopes to make them into her team that just doesn't know it. Now if she could just figure out who is the boss? Quote: Powers/Tactics: Vertigo is a one trick pony, but it's quite a trick. She can convince a person they are actually spinning in place. Alternate forms are an intense overload of the eyes, to a powerful and continuous nauseous felling that could eventually knock you unconscious. Campaign Use: The duplicitous 2nd in command. Appearance: An African American woman of 175 cm and 69 kg. She has dark hair she wears in a short afro and dark eyes. He costume is a long dress with long sleeves that is grey with dark blue piping at the sleeves and hem and neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. R Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 A few weeks ago, over on rpgnet, I was on a thread for supers and a guy was describing a game where you rolled (chose) on four tables: A background A power source An archetype A personality type Now, conveniently, each table has 20 entries, so I rolled up 12 possible NPCs. For more variation I rolled for Starting points (250 + 1d6*50) and whether male or female. So enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 So rolls for the first one is Struggling Relic Modular Cheerful HMMMM! So I pictured struggling actor, with an amulet that gave him spirit powers, but the modular threw me for a bit. Then I took a page from a NPC I read long ago in Haymaker Magazine. She had a power that allowed her to manifest any ability necessary to defeat her current foe. So there we go, the modular, the tool that allows him to get those strange one use powers to foil his enemy!

When a recently deceased great uncle bequeathed him an amulet that looks like it is made of jade and has a cat design on it. One day while wearing it he saw an emergency and felt a tug on the amulet. Changing him into an avatar for the Puma Spirit, he has since continued to act as a protector of his area and city as the Jade Puma. Personality/Motivation: Always upbeat, Jason remains cheerful even as his life has been turned upside down. He is an optimist and hopes that things will work out positively. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Jade Puma's powers are more of a spirit avatar. No cat like powers, more able to channel magic spirit energy for a number of effects. His greatest power is one he is unaware of. It allows him to manifest any power that will help overcome his current problem. Example: if he faces a ghost, then he would develop Effect Desolid ability. Campaign Use: Appearance: Jason is a Latin American male of average height and weight. As Jade Puma he has what looks like leather pants, boots and shirt with a leather mask. All is in a puma like light brown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personality/Motivation: An alien, he is seen as unemotional, but it really is a form of stoicism (he's has read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations and finds many similarities) But his desire to see all free will prompt him to action.

For at least six generations her family members have been people to go and right wrongs and fight for those who could not. They have travelled the world and seen sights. So her birth was eagerly anticipated. Imagine the let down when she was born a woman. But within a few years she showed she was a genius. Still many lamented that the family legacy of heroism will not continue. So she developed a set of gloves that allow her to control gravity and decided that she will continue the family legacy. Personality/Motivation: Mariko is book smart, but not real world smart and is still naive to what some situations really are. This is slowly being eaten away, but some fear the inadvertent damage she could do in the meantime! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Classic flying blaster. Campaign Use: Appearance: Freefall is a petite young woman of Japanese descent with medium length black hair. She wears a blue bodysuit with a white helmet, gloves and boots. The gloves obviously glow when using her abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got good grades and managed to get a good job as a legal secretary for a good law firm. It was hoped she was going places. Then the Voices started. Maria heard them as whispers first, then louder, asking to be let out and used. She became fearful and her work suffered. She sought professional help, but this did little to stop the Voices. She took a leave of absence, but soon she was being shunned. Then came the fire. Children were trapped on the top floor. The Voices said they could help, so Maria Screamed "Then Help” And she was surrounded by four balls of glowing energy. After a short minute, the balls flew up to the children and somehow grabbed them and brought them down. Since then the Voices have stopped. Maria is not sure what the balls are, she calls them Angels. And she is Host. Personality/Motivation: A mixture of doing good by Catholic precepts and the Law. She is the first in her family to get a good education and job. And now she wants to get rid of the stigma of her crazy period. She is also considering law school to become a full on lawyer (civil) Quote: Powers/Tactics: Host has access to four "Angels” She uses them to attack and defend and rescue. Maria is not really an adventuring type but it seems circumstances keep pulling her in. Campaign Use: Appearance: A Latino female of average height and above average weight (Full figured would be an old school term).

And he hoped that he imparted some truths to his students about both English and Irish history). But old age and diabetes conspired to make him retire. So for a last trip before he passed away he decided to return once more to the Green and Pleasant Land. One night he was approached by one of what he presumed to be a powerful Sidhe. His politeness and old world manners impressed her and they spent hours (to him) talking. Then he awoke and went home. But she had given him a gift, one that she hoped he would use to protect those who still needed to learn about the past so they can have a future. And so she dubbed him Valiant! Personality/Motivation: Valiant loves teaching and imparting info. He dislikes those who impair learning and debasement of facts. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Valiant is a classic brick. Campaign Use: Appearance: Valiant looks like an old English gentleman approximately 50+ years who is in excellent condition (even the diabetes is gone) He has short white hair, balding on top. He still has no concept of a costume, so wears a suit at all times with a tie. (For some reason his suits are never damaged in his activities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not arrogant but is very confident. And he can back it up. A trained engineer and mechanic, with a background in computers, he was perfect as a test pilot for the suit. The version his team was working on used special thermal capacitors to shoot either fire or ice attacks, dependent on the setting. On the whole the project was successful, BUT extremely expensive for the cost of one suit. Then the Carapace suit debacle, where a team mate testing a variation that had great defenses and strength was stolen by the pilot. He started using his suit as a high priced merc. So Marcus demanded permission to go after Carapace. And he asked if he could have the Flux suit to help. He is backed by a team of USMC engineers and techs to help keep the suit in good condition. Personality/Motivation: A USMC pilot who has a sincere love for his country. Carapace is a stain on the military and the USA. His first goal is to find Carapace, but in the meantime he uses the suit to protect the country from threats external and domestic. He comes across as arrogant, but it is just his self-confidence. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A powered armour flying blaster with a twist! Campaign Use: Appearance: He looks like a marine pilot when not in the suit. The suit itself looks like an armoured suit with a dark blue colour at the feet to a deep red at the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As she got older the temper got worse and she would fly off at any minor action that would raise her ire. Soon she was on the streets and literally fighting for a place in the pecking order. Of course she fell afoul of law enforcement and so to get back she fell in with (insert Villain agency). But her temper got the better of her and one of the leaders placed her in an experimental chamber that had consistently not succeeded, and left her to die. But she lived and soon was making a name as a powerhouse brick. But in her last fight, she seized up and fell into a coma. It seems the process was not done yet and she went into something of a chrysalis stage. Five years she awoke. At first she was confused, but eventually her memories came back, but now she felt genuine remorse. She agreed to serve another five years in prison, a model inmate. When she got out she began putting out feelers for allies to make up for all her damage. She now hopes for Redemption. Personality/Motivation: Marion had a violent, almost psychotic temper. Something in her coma process has lowered that, and though she still has a temper, she has learned to control it. Add the counseling and learning she underwent in prison and she is a much different person. She hopes to be a role model for those who wish to change their ways. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Marion is a Superman type. Originally she was just a brick, but the coma actually opened up new uses of the power and allows her to fly and fire powerful blasts from her eyes. Campaign Use: Appearance: Redemption is above average height and weight. Her hair is long and black and her eyes glow yellow. She wears a blue bodysuit with light blue gloves and boots. She also wears a blue cape with red lining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such he never really felt part of either. He compensated by developing a very fun loving, almost mischievous, attitude. The one thing he was serious about was Martial Arts. As soon as he was old enough he started to wander around, looking for a master to teach him something new. Eventually he came to (insert name) temple where her learned many new techniques. Eventually he left and has now started to put the skills to good use, helping those who needed it, or tweaking the noses of those too serious. Then he disappears like a Shade! Personality/Motivation: A SH^& disturber for justice. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A skilled martial artist, he has also learned abilities to allow him to walk unseen paralyze with a strike and even use his chi to make others go unconscious with a touch! Campaign Use: Appearance: Asian-American male of average height but well built. He has black hair and brown eyes and wears casual jeans and black t-shirt and a martial arts type coat in black and red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks human but has white (almost albino) skin and a head full of feathers (blue and red). All her life she was enamored of what we on earth call stage magic. This is a big draw on many worlds, and when she came to earth she was so excited about a whole new audience. Then her vessel was destroyed by overzealous earth defenders and she found herself stranded here. Making the best of the situation, she began billing herself as the alien magician with magic never seen before. Soon various arcane societies came after her. They were rudely made aware that her magic is really high tech. Since then she has interacted with many heroes and found that she had something in common with some. A like of freedom and a love of performing. Now she has two professions and is coming to like this backwards mud ball. Personality/Motivation: Zybixis is a performer first and foremost. This is tied to a desire for her freedom to perform and allow others the freedom to see her marvels. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Think of a modern magician and make her technology account for it. She’s not a straight up warrior, but will rely on misdirection. If in a group she will be the backline support. Campaign Use: Appearance: Besides her skin and hair Zybixis is taller and thinner than a normal human. Her costume is what could be termed a pantsuit coloured black with red and yellow patches at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted November 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 So what are my parameters? Criminal Genius Marksman: BFG Jaded So I went with the atlatl type that someone suggested. I actually like the imagery of him pulling out a collapsed javelin, extending it out, slotting it and letting loose. Otherwise he's you ranged weapon specialist with a few extra gadgets. Enjoy!

But any investigation into him would find an average life with a decent education and was self-employed. He paid his taxes and bills. Some said with his looks he was a model, but most scoffed at that claim. A totally normal person. And that is a carefully constructed alias. Jonathan was freelancer with many criminal enterprises. But in his last job, his employer felt debts were for the little people and that dead men ask for no payments. But Jonathan lived, and he figured it was time to change careers. So he fell back into the Mr. Bay identity while crafting weapons and armour to get back at the people who wronged him. Of course the list is long, and so the identity had to be one with no connection to his old life. And so Sureshot came into being. Personality/Motivation: Jonathan has been in the Game so long he has become jaded to it. He has a been there, done that attitude. But his desire for vengeance keeps him going. Or is it? Slowly he's been going after target with no connection to his betrayal. And he wonders..... Quote: Powers/Tactics: Sureshot uses an atlatl spear thrower and some high tech javelins. He has a decent selection of items based on his situation. As well he wears a simple suit of armour with some jump-jets and glider wings to get around. Campaign Use: Appearance: Average height, but with striking features, he has black hair and green eyes. As Sureshot he wears a simple suit of body armour and a high tech helmet and goggles. Add a pair of jump jets at his feet and a pair of extendable glider wings. His suit is all black. The atlatl are yellow as are the javelins which he carries on him legs. They are collapsible, and extend out when he needs to use them. Lawnmower Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
