Background/History:  Marie Dumont always knew she was different.  She could see things that others didn't notice.  But that was not what interested her.  Public relations did.  She liked planning out campaigns to make a group or an individual seem more acceptable to the public.  And the group that seemed to need the most help was Until.  She set her sights on becoming one of their PR specialists.  And she was good.  Then came the attack at a PR rally.  It was seen as a chance by their enemies to make Until publically look bad. But no one knew about Marie's enhanced vision.  She soon noticed the signs of an ambush and warned local commander just as the attack commenced.  Though she kept her head down, she still was able to point out enemy agents for allies, and when the local hero team arrived, the tide was turned.  And Marie loved it.  She craved being a part of this and applied for the Alphabet Squad as their PR person as well as an advance person to scout out locations.  This is part of her cover so she can use her visual acuity to look around.  Thus her code name Optic!

Personality/Motivation:  Marie has been bitten by a bug, the adrenaline bug.  She likes the thrill and uses he position to help people and experience some thrills.  She plays the part of an Until bureaucrat, but when push comes to shove, will pull out a modified Shellie like Belle's (a good fiend) and start shooting.

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Optic's visual acuity is comparable to many telescope/ microscope/ night vision devices all in one.  This leaves her vulnerable to intense light attacks, but otherwise there are little side effects.  Her extra special ability is to find weak points in people or structures that leave them vulnerable to a well-placed attack.

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  A pretty mature French lady with reddish brown hair she wears in a braid, and brown eyes.  She wears impeccable business outfits that are actually Until amours, and always has her Shellie Blaster somewhere on her at all times!

 

 

So the description of this NPC was someone who look after Until's image as well as having superior vision. So I went with an expert PR person with really good vision. A not about the CuK (Cultural Knowledge) not being defined. I will leave that to you, but it was to show a wide range of CuK which I think would be important in Public Relations.

To power her up is another difficult proposition. She's basically a one trick pony again. More gadgets probably. OR the other senses become acute as well.

To weaken her, get rid of the Find Weakness and reduce the blaster to a more discrete 8 charge version!

Background/History:  Miguel Velasquez grew up knowing he was special.  At a young age he was taken in by family members who told him he was part of a secret society that policed others like them.  He was to be trained as the next generation of protectors.  But modern time have many more supers in it, and his opposition was banding together to protect themselves.  So he went looking for back up of his own.  He found that Until's goals meshed with his and so he asked to join.  At first he was given agent training and then placed in the Alphabet Squad as their resident mentalist called Psion.  

Personality/Motivation:  To serve and protect is Psion's core value.  All else revolves around this.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Psion is a classic mentalist without any TK powers.  He mainly uses his Mind Scan to find a target and then uses his sense altering abilities to make opponents see what is not there, mess with their vision entirely or mess with motor control.  As a result he is certainly NOT frontline and hands back.  Out of combat he makes a good info gatherer, as long as he keeps his telepathy low key.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Latino from Chile.  Dark skin, black hair and brown eyes.  

 

 

 

My inspiration for this is from Aaron Allston's Strike Force.  There was a character I think called Psyker, who super heroed as a break from his real job.  He was a conbo mentalist/ martial artist.  I just lessened the MA and refused to use TK type powers.  That really alters the feel of the NPC.  This is the "I'll stay BAAACCKK here!' type.

 

To power up just up all abilities by 10 to 15 active points so Mental Illusions at 13 d6.

 

To weaken, bring everything to 40 AP.

Background/History:  Mellissa (Missy) Worthington-Smythe was your typical vapid teen girl.  But when she was chosen as a sacrifice for some elemental worshiping nut balls, well life got serious.  Then Until and the local super team got involved.  The ceremony was totally disrupted and she was rescued.  But it was rapidly found out there had been some.., side effects.  Apparently some elemental energy had entered her and her physiology was changed, also she could command these elements in some fashion.  Obviously she needed training and Until offered her a place on its Alphabet Squad as Quatrafoil. 

Personality/Motivation:  Quatrafoil is a normal teenager stuck in some very weird events.  She's still coming to terms with her powers and what is the rest of her life going to look like,  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Quatrafoil has control over the four classic elements.  She can move object with air, launch fiery attacks, use water walls to protect or cut people off and encase them in stone.  As well the energies in her make her resistant to damage, and allow her to exist in a number of conditions.  Finally she can move through air, earth or water.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Peaches and cream British lady of about 17 years of age.  Blond hair and brown eyes.  

 

 

The description was "teenager, can control the classic elements"  As inspiration I used the villaness from "To Serve and Protect" who was a lady from an Aztec society cursed to be OVERLY harsh when it come to law and order.  She is a classic LAW going too far type. Anyway her powers in the first module was a MP with elemental themed powers.  Change the history a bit and we have your teenaged elementalist.

 

To power her up, add a VSFX advantage to the MP.  This will allow her to use each with all four classic types!  If that still not enough the the attack MP to 70 Active points and the Movement MP to a flight of 20" or even 25".  But that is a serious power up.

 

To weaken her, get rid of the 1/2 End on all her powers.

Background/History:  Jean-Michel Chauvin is a mutant.  Fortunately he lived in Marseille, and so could get to the sea almost every day.  But his abilities in the water were soon obvious and "people" began to approach him.  At first he brushed it off, and then they started targeting his father and sister.  So he played along, while planning a way to get back at them and keep his family safe.  That was when he ran into a set of Until agents, investigating him.  He let them in on his secret and together they took down the operation and managed to move his family.  Now he has a debt to Until.  So for now he is their resident shark or Requin.  

Personality/Motivation:  Requin is honourable.  He pays his debts and keeps his word.  As long as Until uses him honorably, he will work for them.

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Requin is set up for underwater existence.  Above ground he is a dangerous and skilled opponent, but underwater he is much more at home.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Medium sized Frenchman with brown eyes and brown hair.  

 

 

This was fairly easy to make.  I just wanted to STAY AWAY from the shark man pastiches and toothy smiles.  I made him a fast brick with underwater abilities.  Above water he's competent, underwater he's in his element and has a distinct advantage.  In fact if you have an underwater element to your campaign, and you give penalties for underwater combat, he should be immune to them.  This is his element.

 

To power him up, bring his Str up to 50 or 55 and his defenses to 23-25.

 

To weaken him Str 40 and Spd 5 or even 4!

Background/History:  He's not from around here.  The man named Saturn (he answers to no other name) is from an alternate dimension. On his world, his father was a notorious supervillain called Kronus.  A master of science and technology, Kronus tried multiple times to take over the world. Eventually he performed an act that made him number one hero opponent call in all his markers to take Kronus down.  Kronus had set up an escape route and was planning to leave his earth for greater pastures.  However his son, Saturn discovered the device.  Saturn had become alienated from his father at a young age and had actively and passively opposed him.  Knowing about the attack on his enemy, Saturn had tried to plead with his father to stop his reckless course of action.  Kronus just placed him in a holding cell.  But the heroes attacked sooner than expected, and Saturn's cell was damaged.  He got out and ran to the portal room, intent on destroying it, but a power surge activated it early.  So he set up a self-destruct for after he entered and left his earth in the hopes of starting anew with a clean slate.  

Personality/Motivation:  He's a reverse legacy hero.  He's not trying to live up to dad, but prove he's not like him.  He has a large streak of arrogance, but he desperately does not want to be his father.

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Classic Power Armour type.  He'll stay at range if needed, but is not afraid to get in close.  His greatest weapon is his mind.  Incredibly smart and well educated, he prefers to out think his opponent.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  A handsome man of what appears to be mid-eastern decent.  He wears form fitting armour in Until colours.  Out of armour he wears relaxed wear of slacks and a polo shirt.  

 

 

 

The suggestion is for a super smart gadgeteer, but we have enough on the list, and what is a power suit but a big gadget? But I did keep the great Int idea and a favouring of brains over brawn.

To power him up, well adding a MP to the blaster and/or a gadget pool would be a suggestion!

To weaken him, just reduce his blaster and Str to 40/8d6.

Nice. I may actually have a use for this character. I might drop the UNTIL connection, and put him in Nouvelle-Calédonie - on the other side of the Coral Sea from Australia.

Background/History:  Qiping Chin is a first generation Chinese Malaysian.  She wanted to fly, but her parents opposed such an un-lady like activity.  So she did the next best thing, air traffic control.  Even that he parents disliked, but when they saw all the men she would be meeting, they allowed it.  They didn't count on the obstinacy.  But then she hit the glass ceiling.  All this made her mean tempered at work and so she was given the nickname Turbulence.  Then, when out for a hike and a swim while on vacation, she found an amulet.  She turned it over to the authorities, but soon it came back into her possession.  It was thought she had stolen it, and it was confiscated, but while in jail it came back to her again.  So a mystic hero was contacted and he cast a series of divination spells.  There it was discovered that the amulet, which was magical, had made Qiping its owner.  And after some tests it was discovered it allowed control of air and weather.  Released, it was expected that she would relinquish the amulet to a more suitable host, i.e. a male one.  When it did not occour a smear campaign was started and Qiping left the country.  But knowing she would need training and possibly protection, she approached Until.  After a rigorous training course, she has been placed on the Alphabet Squad.  And she has taken her old nickname as he code name.  

Personality/Motivation:  Turbulence is the classic lady hit the glass ceiling type.  Now she is getting to fly.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  A classic weather controller, Turbulence has a varied set of powers and abilities, including a lightning bolt, a flash bag attack, controlling winds, dense fog, etc.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Chinese Malaysian lady with long black hair she wears a costume with Until colours and a cape with the same colours!

 

 

 

 

The description was a weather controller is one of the heavy hitters in the team. And we were having a dearth of female characters so I made her female. Also I placed her in the far east for another person from that region.

To power her up add 10 active points to all her abilities before advantages so a 12d6 attack, 25" fly, 25/25 FF and maybe even add a Force Wall.

To weaken her reduce her attack to 8d6 and get rid if the 1/2 End on all her powers

Background/History:  Todd Smith is an accountant and bureaucrat for Until.  One of those pencil pushers that all organizations need, but really don't like to talk about.  He worked at a small branch that was so quiet it was considered a dead end by many.  So when the (insert aliens) attacked, they were ground zero.  Most escaped, but he didn't, and the aliens decided to see what made humans tick.  They had discovered a new source of energy recently and he was exposed to it.  By the time he was rescued, he was changed.  Physically he looked the same, but he now had growth powers, which he demonstrated when he grew to hold up a crumbling structure so people could be taken off before it collapsed.  So he was quickly re-assigned.  Now he is the Alphabet Squads paper pusher and a member called Upscale!

Personality/Motivation:  He never wanted to be in the spot light.  But when needed, he'll go into the field.  He prefers rescue operations, but has realized that some will not give him a choice and so has learned HTH JIC!

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  He's a growth brick.  He gets big and hits it.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Take your average NY bureaucrat type.  He's average height and weight with dark brown hair and eyes.  His costume is a special material that expands when he does.  
 

 

 

This suggestion was specific for powers and for background skills.  So basically it is just fill in the blanks.  Like most bricks, he's very cost effective.

 

To power him up I would suggest Brick Tricks MP and possibly and AE (one Hex) for Strength (only at max height?) .  Also a couple of extra Combat Skills Levels would be appropriate!

 

To weaken him get rid of all the Reduced Endurance.

Background/History:  Janice White was one of the people affected by a radiation from a meteorite.  It was later found to be a variation of the Kelvarite radiation that gave others similar powers.  Soon many tried to recruit her to their cause, even going so far as to threaten her husband. Janice knew she needed allies and protection for her husband.  Until offered both.  Soon both relocated and she threw herself into the training and is adamant that others train as well.  This has given her an abrasive attitude to some, but her strength and durability is an asset to any operation.  So she adopted the code named Valoress. 

Personality/Motivation:  A normal with superpowers, Valoress has developed a much more forceful attitude in public.  She realizes that she could have been easily coopted and wishes others take this seriously.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  The strongest and most durable member of the squad.  She gets in close and hopes she can take what the opponents dish out.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Tall Caucasian with short brown hair and green eyes.  She wears a standard looking uniform, just for show.  

 

 

Another brick but it is her backstory that makes her interesting.  The description was a person who was BIG on training.  I didn't want to go former armed service (I have one coming up though).  Also I noticed a lack of DNPC, so I gave her one (this is sort of reverse Superman).  

 

To strengthen her .... well Strength 70 and Con 33, Spd 5.  If you really want to up her some Damage Reduction (even 25%) would make her MUCH more durable.

 

To weaken her, Strength 60 Con 25 and no Reduced End on Strength.

Background/History:  Nils Anderson was an engineer working on remote northern site.  He was usually charges with the environmental system (which if you live and work up north, is a big priority).  While travelling to a rig in the North Sea, his boat was seized by a sudden storm and he found himself overboard.  He thought he was going to die, but a glowing whale appeared to him and said the seas need a representative on land.  He would be given powers and sent to speak for the seas.  When he walked out of the ocean days later, he began his campaign.  But many wanted him to be silenced. Until asked him to help out on one of their undersea bases, and he found the organization had ideas he could respect. So he was asked to join the squad as one of their undersea operatives.  In return they lend their expertise to Whalesong in his new career.  

Personality/Motivation:  Nils has had his eyes opened to a new world and is now an advocate for that world.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  He's like Aquaman, good on land, even better underwater. 

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Classic blond haired, blue eyed Nordic man.  He wears the uniform, but just for show.  

 

 

Another undersea hero which the team certainly needs.  The stipulations were Norwegian and undersea and whales.  Basically Aquaman.  

 

To power him up, more Strength, better swimming and a bigger Summon Pool.

 

Weakening him Strength 50, Con 25 and no Red End for Strength!

Background/History:  Some people are born great, some get shoved into it.  Conrad Boroski is that man.  He has been gifted with great magical abilities from two different sources.  Why?  He doesn't know.  But he figures he is meant to use them for some purpose.  After getting training from various mages in the world, he decided to join Until as it seemed they lacked a mage's presence.  Soon he was assigned to the Alphabet Squad as their resident mage, as magic is an X-Factor. 

Personality/Motivation:  Unsure of his abilities X-Factor wants allies for when he thinks he will mess up.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  X-Factor is a mage with a curious limitation.  His magic either follows what he calls Law or Chaos.  If Law his spells take all the gestures, phrases and time people expect with magic.  But he can also go Chaos and forgo all that but his spell will be exhausting and draining for him (In game terms either Gesture, Incant. and Full Phase OR 2X End, Side Effect End Drain on self) Right now his spell repertoire seems limited, but he hopes to expand that as he goes along.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Barely in his twenties with short, curly blond hair and blue eyes. He wears a costume that looks like an Until uniform and a cape (it looks cool) 

 

 

When this character was pitched it was a mage who had to balance Law and Chaos magic.  The only time I ever hears that referenced was Lawrence Watt-Evans' Ethshar books, and I  don't think that is what he was planning.  So I made two sets of limitations on the spells, the safe but slow LAW and the fast but exhausting CHAOS.  Also he has a magic devices pool.

 

To power him up make both VPPs larger and maybe some enhanced senses. 

 

To weaken him, get rid of the device pool and maybe even make the VPP a MP!   

[Mr. R]

Background/History:  Dee Wallace was always gung ho and knew she was going to be a US Marine.  At eighteen she enlisted, survived basic training and entered the corps.  Soon she was getting assigned to places like Gitmo and US embassies in foreign countries.  But rather than making her an Ugly American, it broadened her view of the world to a more internationalist view.  After serving her 20, she mustered out and promptly joined Until.  There was some resistance on both sides, but when Dee explained she wanted to represent the US at its best, as the anti-ugly American, it was accepted.  She breezed through training and joined the one division that the USMC does not have, the Light Horse.  Then the higher ups sent her to the Alphabet Squad.  Their reasoning, she wants action, she is extremely well trained and she can be that Anti Ugly American.  She took the code name Yankee Lightening. 

Personality/Motivation:  Dee is that American who cringes when she hears about tourist screaming in Italy "what do you mean you don't speak English?" at louder and louder voices.  She wants to show that Americans can be respectful and knowledgeable.  And she wants to get a thrill while doing it.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Yankee Lightening has no powers.  What she has is the training and backing of twenty+ years of intense military training backed up by state of the art gear.  Even without the gear, she is a dangerous opponent.  She prefers to stay at range, but will mix it up if needed. 

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  Medium sized African American woman with short black hair and brown eyes. She wears a standard Until uniform that seems impeccably neat at all times!

 

 

The description for this NPC was American, female, USMC. Joining an organization like Until? So the hardest part was to figure a rational for her. Once I got that, the rest just flowed. Basically she just an extremely well trained soldier. As a nod to some difference I made her Light Horse. (for those who are unsure, this is a division that rides jet cycles into action.)

To make her stronger, just add more skills and skill levels, and maybe a gadget pool.

To weaken her get rid of the pistol back up and the ranged skill levels!

Background/History:  Zien Qiping was born in Hong Kong.  He took full advantage of the schooling there and soon had degrees in various fields.  Soon he was using the skills to help solve problems in his local neighborhood.  Then it was the city in general, then the local area.  Soon he came to the attention of Until.  They proposed he go worldwide.  They could provide backing for certain initiatives and in return he does some work for them.  He is adamant about not carrying any guns, and they agreed.  When asked what his code name should be he answered Zero, and let them think why.

Personality/Motivation:  Zero is a "with great power..." type hero.  The irony is he has no powers.  But he still feels a responsibility to make things right.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Zero has NO powers.  Just a well-trained body and mind.  That is not to say he's defenseless.  He's a master in more than on form of Wu Shu, is well educated, and has a penchant for making devices out of local materials.  Other members call the MacGuyverism of A-Teamism.  Either way, he's never without some sort of cobbled together device when things get hairy.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  A proud Chinese man from HK, with short black hair and eyes.  He wears what looks like normal street clothes, but are actually Until UC armour.  

 

 

 

"Zero, because he has no powers. Zip. Zilch. Nada!"  So that is what I made.  He is the example of an agent who relies on himself.  My one concession was a gadget pool more like MacGuyver devices than anything else.

 

To power him up. more skills, a larger pool.

 

To weaken him Stats of 18, Spd 4 and a smaller pool!

[Mr. R]

A person on RPGnet called Friv Yeti was demonstrating character creation using a system called Sentinels.  Some sounded real cool so I asked permission to convert them to Hero and he said go ahead.

Background/History:  Sarah Lawson was an unremarkable woman.  Her only distinguishing feature was an involvement in many activist causes.  It was great money, but she hoped she was doing her part to make a better world.  Maybe that was what drew the old man to her.  He was dying and in his last moments he gave her a strip of cloth.  Soon it settled over her shoulders and bonded to her.  It was the Mantle of Hope.  Information rushed into her mind as well as abilities unimagined.  Now she could be more proactive in bringing Hope to people.  This is her Covenant.

Personality/Motivation:  Sarah is naturally curious and inquisitive.  This and her desire to make things better fuel her actions.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Covenant is a powerful psychic. She can read minds, cause people to see things not there, or even cause imaginary damage.  She can also act as a mental switchboard, this makes teamwork much easier.  As well when she concentrates she can pick a set of actions that have the most favorable outcome.  Finally she can place herself out of phase, so she can pass through walls and be harder to hurt.  Generally she tries to hang at the back using her illusions to sow confusion and occasionally giving a psychic whammy as she calls it.

So I can't duplicate the action economy, but I hope I did justice to the concept.

This is a scary mentalist in hero terms.

eh, I still think they should have used an established system, like Hero, instead of coming up with yet another system.

I agree, but as a source of inspiration, they are pretty good.  But as we will see, sometimes it really doesn't translate well!  Bu no worse than using V&V or HU to roll up a character for some inspiration!

Background/History: Zam Trejis NOT from around here. He's an... Alien. No not the other country kind, the other planet kind. His planet was decimated by an event called OlbliAeon. Just as it was ending he had a premonition that it would move on to another world. He could not stop it, but he is in a position to keep it from happening again. So now Montage looks for allies.

Personality/Motivation: The soul of an artist, montage has been forced to become a reluctant soldier. He has fought this enemy before and will do his utmost to stop it here.

Quote:

Powers/Tactics: Montage has two sources of Power. The first is the power cosmic. This allows him movement, protections, absorption and attack abilities. In addition he possesses a weapon called the Stitch, which gives him more attack options that are effortless on his part. Generally montage will attack from range, using the Stich while keeping his defenses up. If disarmed the opponents are in for a surprise as he can still blast with his cosmic blasts.

Campaign Use:

Appearance:

 

 

It.... works, but .... why? Even as a non min maxer, this is inefficient. Part of this is because the Marksman Quality means weapon. Why not just take the Cosmic and make it more accurate. To make this make sense I made the weapon 0 endurance to justify its use.

And the skills...?

It can work, but just. At least in Hero terms. I guess this is an example of how different systems don't always mesh nicely!

Background/History:  Archibald Harbury.  Scion of a wealthy family. Rich.  Good looking.  Physically active.  Bored.  He did it all.  Until he hit upon the idea of creating a suit of armour for exploration and adventuring.  His family had more than enough money, as long as he kept it respectable, they allowed it.  Soon he had a small team of techs and engineers to help him create his dream.  Soon he was investigating those strange goings on in the world, and found he cared for the actions of those entitled few, He can't stop helping now that he's in a position to help.  So it came about that he's known as Archie the Adventurer.

Personality/Motivation:  Adventurer/ thrill seeker. He wants to see it all.  Add a recent attack of with great power comes great responsibility.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Archie's suit gives him good movement, defense and offence.  He tries to get in close and mix it up HTH.  If stuck at range, his suit as a missle deflection system so he can get in a shot at the enemy as he's closing.  Finally his tech team will supply him with some one off items for a wild card effect.  If he knows what he'll be facing, he'll tailor the device to them!

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  

 

All he needs is a red and blue costume with black highlights. But he does work. This is a nice character for a Hero game. This is a nice example where using a random generator does result in a workable concept!

Background/History:  Patience Smith isn't sure of anything, even her name.  She woke up in a lab, alarms blaring and managed to snap the restraints and get out.  Since then she's been living on the street, using a made up name and trying to find out who and why this was done to her,  

Personality/Motivation:  Right now Atomizer is fairly apathetic.  She's totally unsure about anything and it is weighing her down.  As she finds out more this may change, but for now it is go with the flow.  

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Atomizer is a front line brick.  Thought her strength is not fantastic at first, she can alter her density to improve her strength and durability.  In addition she has an atomic core in her that she can channel for energy blasts if opponents stay at range.  

Campaign Use:  

Appearance:  

 

 

She's actually a workable character. Some ranged, some HTH and a backstory loaded with plot hooks. And who doesn't like a self redemption story!

Background/History:  Cameron Reddican was doing a job for the mob, or so he thought.  But in reality the entity called Wager master was creating a real life crime movie.  When Cameron sacrificed the final scene to save his crew, he was bather in the energies of the Magmuffin that they were stealing.  Wager Master complimented them and sent them on their way.  Now life hadn't been kind to Cameron, but the device opened his eyes to many possibilities and the ones where he benefited the most was as a hero, and so Synergyst was born.  

Personality/Motivation:  Synergyst and see possible futures and then guide (cajole?) people into following that path.  A secondary ability is he can hide in plain sight and people don't see him.  If he can he'll prepare an area with a few booby traps.

So the concept is a person who can see the big picture and help guide others towards it. I had a lot of figuring here. Some explanations for my choices:

Invisibility was straight up
Master plan is his ability to set things up for his allies to benefit for a limited time. I am thinking +5 is a bit high though. If you agree make it +3. It starts strong, but weaken as the fight progresses, and can be used once.
The energy blast is a special effect of him going invisible and setting up sabotages on the battlefield. This has a lot of handwavium and if you can think of some better idea!

Background/History:  Harison Kent is the latest in a line of business family.  A great administrator as well as a gifted Scientist, his company was working on teleportation technology.  But as happens there was an accident and Harrison found himself bounced across multiple dimensions and subjected to strange energies.  When control was finally established and he was brought back, he fired the scientist in charge and investigated the incident.  Two things were found: 1) corporate opponents had made inroads into his project and 2) he now had super powers.  Not wanting his tech to fall into the wrong hands, he took action and now uses his powers to ensure that the tech gets into the right hands.  He is the Regulator!

 

 

Personality/Motivation:  Harrison is ... well the term cold fish works.  He's distant and unemotional at all times.  He also is convinced who should get access to his tech.

Powers/Tactics:  Regulator is a fire blaster with a few tricks.  Rather than fly he teleports, he can fire damaging blasts and protect himself with an energy shield.  As well he can in a pinch summon what looks like fiery imps for a distraction.  Also he has the ability to sense when a dimensional portal is opening up near him, and the ability to discern the past of an object by holding it.

Like I said he's a sort of Mr. Fantastic/ Iron man mixture, with the powers of the Human Torch. But he can work. There are a lot of hooks for adventures here, and getting him to lighten up should make for some great role playing.

 

 

 

[Mr. R]

This is going to be long as I will have followers, a vehicle and the heroine here.

Background/History:  Elinor Dulac is a renowned historian.  An expert in many areas, she spcializes in Ancient Roman.  She would have been left at that if not for the volume of ... designs she got at a flea market a few years ago.  It was obviously Roman, but talked of moving statues and mechanical birds.  She pored over the almost incomprehensible writting, until she had an epiphany and realized it could just work.  She was laughed at, but after years of attempts, she had her robot men and a vehicle that looks like a flying bird.  Since then she has had adventures, searching for other lost secrets.  She has become know as the Artificer!

Personality/Motivation:  Freedom of the individual and the teaching of the next generation.  Injustice sets her off and she wants to share all that she knows with others, so that it does not become lost again.

Quote:  

Powers/Tactics:  Artificer will try to be in her vehicle, called an ornithopter, as much as possible.  There she will luanch attacks as well as direct her small band of robots.

Vehicle heroes are sometimes a bit hard to use and you end up with a hero great outside and terrible indoors.  Then add followers and you have a recipe where as one friend put it "He spent 25 minute moving and rolling dice for each minion, when the rest of us were done in five minutes?  Next time a player asks to play a minion master I'm whacking him with a hammer!"  So take this NPC cautiously as she can dominate the play session if not careful.  That being said, she does work, and I do like the backstory!
