But in her last visit she was kidnapped by an organization who wanted to test her to see how their implants will work on the supernatural. They got more than they bargained for and Siobhan managed to escape. They did unlock super abilities in her though and now she uses them help others as Deep Freeze. Personality/Motivation: Deep Freeze is unrelentingly positive and looks for ways to teach others either to use their powers or relater to others. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Deep Freeze has two sets of powers. The first is the ability to shape shift into a seal woman. Before this required her seal skin, but is now intrinsic. The second is a set of Ice/cold powers she uses at range. Add the Ice Armour and her high recovery and you have a very durable opponent. Campaign Use: Appearance: This is a strange concept, but it manages to work. I had to tweak a few things, but basically we have someone dangerous above water and very dangerous under it. Also I should have added a Hunted More Powerful 8- (15 pts) to represent the people that experimented on her (they want their experiment back!)

She hoped to make a difference in her city and instead ran into corruption and graft. Then came the call to investigate a strange device. She advised caution, but her partner changed in and the spores in the device were released. Her partner died, but after a long affliction, managed to recover. But what nobody realized was that Leslie was changed. She could change into a plant woman and use the tendrils and extra size to investigate and escape. So now she is on her own undercover assignment as Fernwick> Personality/Motivation: Leslie is jaded to the corruption in the force. Thus she hopes she can make a small change and redeem herself. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Sneak in and use her growth and stretching to deal with opponents. If facing many opponents she'll use her tendrils to hinder them and spores to take many out at once. As well she carries Police issue items she liberated from the corrupt cops she encounters. Campaign Use: Appearance: Again a workable, solid, flavourful build. Again lots of hooks, Can make a good solo or team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the showman he called himself Ilamar the Inscrutable. Personality/Motivation: Mike is a big believer in personal freedom. That people should not be hindered in trying to simple live, much less improve themselves. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Ilamar has two differing sets of powers. The first is a set of weather control effect. The other is to summon a horde of small animal to create darkness or act as a distraction, Campaign Use: Appearance: SO I hope I got this right? If you think it can be done better, let me know. This is a very cool background though. I can see a whole list of Role Playing opportunities here. Also many hooks for the character. I love it!

A intelligent and well educated first responder, she has come to earth for reasons of her own. Here she uses not only the advanced healing tech of her world, but the weather working skills many of her people are adept at as Refuge. Personality/Motivation: Unendingly cheerful, Refuge is always optimistic, but she will not hesitate to go into a dangerous situation to save others. To this end she follows her own people's version of do no harm. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Refuge's primary abilities are the ability to control the weather and to use the winds to fly. Add a collection of lifesaving devices that she carries with her at all times. Finally she has a type of precognition, rarely under her control, that will tell her when she is needed somewhere. Campaign Use: Appearance: So this build shows again that versatility costs. Fly, defense, tool kit of offense, precognition, and a hefty med kit. It does work, but then it is a super's game where everything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to unite ancient alchemy and modern tech sometimes to disastrous results. And his crimes were a means to get raw materials he could not afford otherwise. But finally he was caught and sent to prison. But the OblivAeon event would see him freed as part of commuting his sentence. And he found a liking to be on the hero's side. When he was finally released he had turned over to the hero side. But he still needed to use his powers and continue his research. So he has taken the name Doctor Cobalt, to try and make reparations for his previous life. He's finding it hard, but he is persevering. Personality/Motivation: Even as a hero Dr. Cobalt is arrogant. He believes he knows what is right, and continuously has to remember that history has shown him that is not always the case. He hopes to redeem himself in the long run. Quote: Powers/Tactics: The first object Doc worked on was himself, making himself tougher and able to channel electricity. He also has the ability to transmute local material into components for his devices, which is powered by his alchemical electricity. Campaign Use: Appearance: This is actually a cool take on a gadgeteer. Create the raw materials, slap them together and new OMNIgun (tm). And if to manage to shut that down he has his own innate Electrical Blasts. Add a set of story hooks about backsliding and old partners looking to get even!

But eventually even he was defeated. But not killed. The magic he had mastered actually placed him in a deep sleep, until for some reason he was awoken in the modern day. He still searches for his destiny, but in the meantime he has joined with the knights of light of modern times called superheroes as Runesword. While he searches he also hopes to make allies for whatever reason he was reawakened. Personality/Motivation: An old world courteous death knight. It is apparent he is 'mostly dead' but he still keeps the manners and norms he was raised in! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Mage Knight! Mage Knight! Mage Knight! Who also happens to be undead and has a nasty sword. He basically acts as a front line fighter, getting stuck in and taking damage and healing before their eyes! Campaign Use: Appearance: Its a classic trope, so it works. Ancient warrior: check. Magic Weapon: check. Magic abilities: check. Role playing opportunities: check. You really have to try hard to mess with this trope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he ended up stranded here when someone had to stay behind to let the rest of the team get to safety. Since then he has made the best of the situation. He has joined a local group and tries to make his new adopted home better. His code name, the Line! Personality/Motivation: A scientist as well as a natural leader, the Line is hoping to make this world better than before. Quote: Powers/Tactics: The line has a number of body altering powers. He can increase his density, alter his size and even create a duplicate of himself. If needed he can create more than one, but they have a limited duration, so he uses it when absolutely needed. Campaign Use: Appearance: Previously with Artificer, I spoke about one PC having too many things to roll. This is true of a duplicator as well. Too many duplicates and the fight slows to a crawl. So I put this limitation on it. I now realize I should have added one charge to keep it from being over used.

She is a Created Being from a group of super powered supremacists who would use her as a weapon to further their agenda. But Naomi's parents didn't buy into that an ran away with her to raise her as a normal person. But eventually the supremacists caught up with them and in the ensuing super brawl, her parents were killed. She survived and went into hiding and crafted a new identity for herself. She realizes the danger the supremacists pose and knows they need to be opposed. So she crafted the idea of Breakguard to combat them! Personality/Motivation: Naomi is generally a creeful person and looks at the best in any situation. This results in a distaste of the type of society the supremacists want. Quote: Powers/Tactics: A telekinetic with speedster powers. Breakguard likes to get in close and hit hard and fast. Campaign Use: Appearance: I've seen builds like this before. It works and is very reliable. The better part is the back story with the eugenics angle. This can lead to some very interesting role playing about inheritance and duty and family. For that aspect, i like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knew where they came from, or why they manifested, but now his careful, ordered life is being turned upside down. He is forced to deal with civilians and his career track has been totally derailed. For now Commodore Ironclad deals with the situation. Personality/Motivation: A devotion to duty. Gregg is still a military man, and will follow orders to the best of his ability. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Comm. Ironclad can control metal, and has great strength and durability. Also he seems to have the ability to create devices out of the metals he can control. Campaign Use: Appearance: The only part I don't like is the gadget pool concept. But the rest of this build is cool. This can get some real role playing due to his background, and temper. Also bricks are fun, they specialize in simple flow chart combat....

Her mother raised her as best she could and impressed on her the ideas of duty. It was expected that Raiya would follow in mom's footsteps. But Raiya was different from her mom, more interested in science and devices. Eventually she developed nano machines to act as armour and raw material for her gadgets. She decided she was ready to make her mark as Nanoswarm. Personality/Motivation: Live up to mom's expectations. Quote: Powers/Tactics: The nano machines Raiya has devised can be turned into a suit of protective armour, that can increase her size, strength and run speed ( just not all at once). They also can be configured to any of a number of devices. Campaign Use: Appearance: This is an interesting take on Power Armour. And I like it. It differs in that it really doesn't have the blaster set most have and make her a combo growth brick or speedster. This would require an experienced player and GM so he doesn't micro manage but as long as they keep it fast, this could be a very cool set. Add the role playing hooks and this becomes one of my favourite builds so far! Nekkidcarpenter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he has been so successful that he has created emergencies without meaning to. Recently he was taken in by a research corporation and given a larger lab, with more safe guards, but most just wonder what is the next emergency he will create. Personality/Motivation: Curiosity about ... everything. Add a total lack of social norms and you get a combo of Data, Reed Richards, and your worst stereotype absent minded scientist! Quote: Powers/Tactics: An android with a sonic blaster and access to many gadgets (for just such an emergency)! Campaign Use: Appearance: Not a bad build, but ... well it is a bit blah. Also we have ANOTHER gadget user (there are a lot in this list) with some powers.

In fact he had retired when the OblivAeon Event occurred. So the beings who gifted him his powers asked(?) him to come out of retirement and put his abilities back into action. Because he was thinking this already, he agreed and soon the Channeler was back in action making a difference. Personality/Motivation: Jay has been at this a long time and so has developed a sense of levity regarding situations. But when it comes down to it, he's a decent man gifted powers to make a positive change in the world. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Channelor gains his powers by channelling (yeah!) up to our different higher powers. Desalath (Speed) Sirrek (Hope) Torran (Power) Cyrox (Sin) Each changes the parameters of his powers and changes their power level, giving a different feel depending on who he channels! Campaign Use: Appearance: This is a strange build. The idea is he channels different beings for power. So those names are a list of powers they get from that being. Now I like the idea, but the powers are basically very similar, because the real difference is the restrictions in the Action Economy for each channeled being. If I was going to do this in Hero, I would do like Guild Wars Revenants, who can choose two beings to channel and can switch at will, giving differing abilities. Or better yet, M&M had a villainess called Sisters in Scarlet who had four versions (Brick, Speedster, Flying Blaster, Minion Master/ Summoner). This is ultimately a case where the differences in the games really don't mesh very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the OblivAeon event happened, and though she was far away from the action, somehow it affected her. She fell unconscious and when she awoke, she swore she heard a voice in her head, that wasn't hers. Turns out it's a Danni from another reality and that somehow they are now sharing the same body. Danielle doubted it until she got into trouble and Danni took over and used some strange stone powers to stop it. So now she's making the best of a very strange situation. Now if only she could get over this idea to use these powers to help her city. Personality/Motivation: A Sarcastic mouth typifies Danielle. She's not much for heroics, but strange events keep happening around her that she seems to want to look into. She's not bad at investigating, and knows if trouble occurs, Danni will step in. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Danielle has no powers, but as a side effect of the merging, her physical abilities have increased. This is especially true of her durability. Otherwise, she has no powers except for access to Danni!

Upcoming reporter. During the OblivAeon event, she was near ground zero and saw the entirety of the Multiverse and all its possibilities. When it was over, she found her reality destroyed and herself sharing a body with an alternate self. She makes the best of it, but occasionally her other self gets in over her head and Danni is forced to take over and use the control of stone she has to help out. She and Danielle have come to an understanding and have taken to calling this side Bedrock! Personality/Motivation: Danni is a trained reporter and has developed an alluring personality/ attitude to most things. Right now she is doing her best in a VERY odd situation! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Danni has control over Stone. Much like Terra from the Teen Titans, she can move it, move through it, have it form shields etc. Also as a side effect of the event, she has flashes of the future. Whether this is true or not she never knows, but she seems accurate more often than not. Campaign Use: Appearance: I can appreciate the idea, but the concept that one form gets ALL the skills and the other gets the powers makes for a very wonky build. In the original game with its action economy, this was a handicap. Not so much here, but it still resulted in me going "wouldn't a Only in Hero ID idea work a lot better?" This is a workable build, but in the end I think it shoots itself in the foot. If a player came to me with this build, I'd let him go with it until his inevitable frustrations with it would have him demand a rewrite. And I'd happily allow it!

Mr. R Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Coming Soon... the Godsend Agenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 RPGnet had a thread recently about a new superhero game called the Godsend Agenda. Being a person always on the lookout for new ideas in a super setting, I took a look at the PDF and was intruigued. There were a few sample NPCs and so I decided to Convert them to Hero System terms. So a few ground rules Str added 5 pts to Hero Str/point. So Str 3 → 25 Dex and Con are 2.5 pts +10. So Dex 4—> 30 Since most of the NPC have Dex and Con at 2 or 3, this was not a deal breaker Int, Ego and Pre are 2.5 pts straight. So Int 3—> Int 18 PD and ED are base 8 with half Resistant. Spd is eyeballed as I am not sure about the action economy. Ka! This is a special stat that you can use for some dramatic editing. Closest I can approximate is Mr. Bennie's Gestalt Game and Luck. You can use the Ka to improve a to hit roll, a skill roll, or reduce the amount of damage you take. But you use the whole point or dice for a one point increase (or a three point decrease for damage). You also get Complications and these complications help fuel your Ka recovery. Tagging a complication can get you 1 to 5 Ka points back. For Hero terms I’d go Gestalt: Roll that many dice and that is the number of points you get for that session. Note that one NPC has a LARGE Ka pool, but she’ll need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Agent Chindi (Later Agent X) had started investigating a set of curious robberies and attacks that were linked to some Chimeran activity. But it must have been something MUCH bigger when members of her own cell tried to kill her. At that moment she realized she had to think outside of her usual channels to get to the bottom of things. First she approached Nedeera. They had worked together at an ‘event’ in Las Vegas and Agent X knew Nedeera had no love for her bosses. Nedeera was accompanied by a young lady they later called Electra. It was obvious that she was Black October, but she seemed to trust Nedeera, so that was OK. For the next few months they dug for clues. All the while dodging agents and chimerans. They needed more power. Nedeera suggested an “Old” friend named Heru. His sense of justice would sway him to their side. The next time the four of them went out to case a warehouse, they came under attack by some chimerans. Then the chimerans came under attack by another chimeran and an angelos. Heru recognized the newcomers as Hydra and Zuriel, people he had worked with a year ago in Mexico City. After the smoke cleared they all compared notes and found they were all looking into the same group, a mysterious menace called The World Serpent. They were now The Serpent Hunters!

Mr. R Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 First up Heru the Elohim. There are six factions (origins) in GA, the Elohim are ancient alien beings who impersonate deities. So Heru is from the faux deity group, but he has been around for millenia and was born on Earth. I think this is the faction if you want to let loose your INNER Thor, or one of Marvel's Eternals. Think larger than life, think Conan. Now each Faction has some advantage and for the Elohim it is improved Ka (Luck manipulation). When they spend a point they get one free. So one= two points effect. Two= Three Etc. To approximate this I gave him an adder to the Luck so he gets extra luck per roll so in his case 3d6+6.

They did their best, but soo their natures forced them apart and he was left alone. Already tall he filled out and grew his wings. And found his calling as a deliverer of justice. Over time he had to hide his nature, but now something is stirring and the need for justice has never been stronger. Personality/Motivation: A deep sense of justice and a righteous fury when it is denied is what motivates Heru! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Extremely strong and durable. In addition he can fly and shout screams of damage! He'll start at range, then close for HTH. He prefers move by as it plays into his movement! Campaign Use: Justice not law! Appearance: 199 cm and 100 kg he has bronze skin and black shoulder length hair. He dresses as a Mesopotaimian of old with a kilt and sandals. He leaves his upper body bare so as no to limpede the white wings growing from his arms! To weaken him, get rid of the Red. End on strength and EB, but keep it on the flight as it is a central core concept. To make him tougher increase Strength, PD, ED, and the EB. Also improving the Luck Pool should happen from time to time. The tone is take chances and accomplish great things! Which allows you to take more and bigger chances! Personality wise, he's Thor without a hammer. He thinks (and has been treated) like a god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Nadeera the Atlantean Atlanteans are Humans who ages ago learned how to manipulate Ka energy in the form of spells and magic items. This is the faction if you want to play - a mage - an ancient warrior with a spear and magic helmet - a bit of both They are all immortal. Their special ability is that Orichalcum items cost them 25% discount. Orichalcum items not only are magical, but can store extra Ka (luck) in it in addition to your own pool (for free)! Not much I can do about that as items already get a cost discount and sorry no freebies You want the extra luck, pay for it)!

She grew up hearing stories of this reputation and decided she wished to add to it. For untold millennia she operated in the shadows and background. But now changes are coming. Requesting the Sun Bow of her ancestors, she has gone out to be more proactive in the fight to come/ Personality/Motivation: A large legacy is behind her and her family is expecting great things from her! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Already a great archer, with the Sun Bow she can deliver a lot of damage very accurately. She has NO HTH capability and so tries to stay at range as much as possible. Campaign Use: Appearance: 172 cm and 60 kg with Mediterranean features. She has waist length black hair and brown eyes. She dresses in a long skirt and a short red top and carries a golden bow! So a classic archer type. Great OCV/DCV, decent damage and almost no defense. She needs the SPD for the dodges to evade damage. Also note the HUGE luck pool. This is the PC who will be spending luck to make those impossible shots, do that impossible sneak! To weaken her, get rid of all the Skill levels. To strengthen her we can go in two possible directions. One- improve the bow, add a MP with explosive, flash, AP, X2 KB arrows. Two- More spells. Utility types like Tport, Invisibility, Force Wall, Smoke Screen (Darkness) etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Electra of the faction Black October Black October are what in any other game would be called.... mutants. Thousands of years ago Atlanteans placed a ... Genetic Switch in the human genepool. It would activate under certain conditions and give normal people super powers. Well about 100 years ago the switch was activated and thousands of people powered up and died as they could not contain the energies. This happened in October, hence the name. But the Mutant moniker fits. This burnout still happens as the human body is not meant to contain these energies, so when they first manifest, people panic. Black October ( I was going to use the initials then.... NAW!) is the faction if you want to play an angsty teen who has powers they have no idea how to use and will die before 30. This is almost built into the rules. Its called The Shine and lets your PC go out in a blaze of glory (the benefit to the player is he can make a new PC with all the experience of the old one. In Hero terms, if her has 350 base and has earned 75 experience his new toon is built on 425 base) Quote 2022 #3 Electra Val Char Cost Roll Notes 13 STR 3 12- Lift 151.6kg; 2 ½d6 [1] 27 DEX 51 14- OCV: 9/DCV: 9 20 CON 20 13- 10 BODY 0 11- 10 INT 0 11- PER Roll 11- 13 EGO 6 12- ECV: 4 13 PRE 3 12- PRE Attack: 2 ½d6 16 COM 3 12- 8+20 PD 5 Total: 8/28 PD (4/24 rPD) 8+20 ED 4 Total: 8/28 ED (4/24 rED) 5 SPD 13 Phases: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 7 REC 0 40 END 0 27 STUN 0 Total Characteristic Cost: 108 Movement: Running: 6"/12" Leaping: 2"/4" Swimming: 2"/4" Cost Powers END 30 Luck 6d6 4 Damage Resistance (4 PD/4 ED) 62 Electricity: Multipower, 50-point reserve, all slots Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) (62 Active Points) 5u 1) Energy Blast 10d6 (50 Active Points) 2 5u 2) Drain STUN 3d6+1, Ranged (+½) (49 Active Points) 2 5u 3) Sight Group Flash 10d6 (50 Active Points) 2 4u 4) Entangle 6d6, 3 DEF (45 Active Points) 2 5u 5) Force Wall (10 PD/10 ED) (50 Active Points) 2 50 Electric Sheath: Force Field (20 PD/20 ED), Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) (50 Active Points) 2 Skills 3 Acrobatics 14- 3 Breakfall 14- 3 Climbing 14- 3 Interrogation 12- 3 Seduction 12- 3 Persuasion 12- 3 Oratory 12- 3 Criminology 11- 3 Forensic Medicine 11- 3 Deduction 11- 11 TF: Common Motorized Ground Vehicles, Riding Animals, Helicopters, Large Motorized Boats, Large Planes, Large Wind-Powered Boats, Small Motorized Boats, Small Planes, Small Wind-Powered Boats 3 Concealment 11- 3 Shadowing 11- 3 Stealth 14- 3 Lockpicking 14- 3 Sleight Of Hand 14- 3 Security Systems 11- 5 +1 with DCV 10 +2 with Ranged Combat Total Powers & Skill Cost: 244 Total Cost: 352 200+ Disadvantages 10 Physical Limitation: Easy to influence by Atlanteans (Infrequently; Greatly Impairing) 15 Physical Limitation: Looking for Romance (Frequently; Greatly Impairing) 10 Distinctive Features: Young and sultry (Concealable; Noticed and Recognizable; Detectable By Commonly-Used Senses) 117 Experience Points Total Disadvantage Points: 352 Earned Experience: 0 Spent Experience: 117 Unspent Experience: 0 Background/History: She was tired of running/ Ever since these POWERS erupted, she felt like she was running from one group or another. USER. Black October, all wanted her for some reason. Then she met HER. Nadeera. Nadeera didn't shoot at her or threaten her. Just said "Follow me if you want to live!" Corny, but she took a chance. Since then her life has gotten strange, but she is making a difference. She knows she's on borrowed time, so seeks to make her mark as Electra! Personality/Motivation: Because of her powers she has a very reduced lifespan. So she wants to make her death a positive one! Quote: Powers/Tactics: Electrical blaster with a variety of attacks. She can also protect herself with a lightning sheath. She hangs back and snipes, but is not afraid of getting close as she trusts the shield to protect her. Campaign Use: Appearance: 168 cm and 55 kg, she has short ash blond hair and gray eyes. She wears a black one piece bodysuit with short boots and gloves, all in black with blue trim! So to power her down bring her dex to 24 and get rid of the skill levels. To power her up. Give her flight or T-port. She needs some movement. Maybe a SPD of 6.

Mr. R Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 If the Elohim were "gods" then the Chimera are the 'demons/monsters" of the setting. They are a hive mind race with many in contact with another at all times. But on earth they have been separated from the main body of the race and have become more individual. Chimera are birthed in a cocoon and this mechanic is one of their special abilities. If the player wants they can go into cocoon and rewrite their ENTIRE character. Naturally this takes time so would probably used in those times between adventures. Playing a Chimera is playing a monster. Either physical of mental, there is something off about them. Even if they look human, there is something off putting about them. So they are great for redemption arcs or trying to prove the humanity of themselves. OR sometimes you need a monster to preserve humanity. "there are things out there that go bump in the night. We are the things that BUMP BACK!"

She was birthed fully grown from her cocoon and IMPRESSED into service as an assassin. But some core of her being rebelled against this and on her last assignment she went rogue. Now she goes from hiding place to hiding place to try and undo the damage she has caused. Now she is with this "group" hoping to make the world better. Works for her! Personality/Motivation: Redemption. Hydra did some BAD things and now wants to fix it! Quote: Powers/Tactics: All HTH. Hydra closes in and tries to strike hard and fast. Add her infiltration ability and the paralytic venom she can secret and enemies have little chance against her. Campaign Use: Can we change our nature? Appearance: 178 cm and 68 kg with purple skin and eyes. She wears a dark blue bodysuit with a bare midriff. Her hair looks like waist length Dreads, but on closer inspection are more akin to jellyfish tentacles! Hydra is designed as a HTH monster (I made the claws normal, change them to HKA if you want). All her powers are designed to help her sneak in and quickly eliminate the opposition. Role wise, she is a classic redemption NPC. Dark things in her past. To power Hydra down is easy, get rid of the CSL. If you really want to power her down reduce Dex to 26. The rest should remain as is. Power up is a bit harder. She's nasty enough as it is, but if you insist, some more PD and ED (Combat Luck) will make here more of a front line fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Next faction United States Exobiological Research or USER. (I am not crazy about the name for a game that is supposed to be international in scope) Are you a fan of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in MiB. Well here you go. An entire organization of them. Rational. Some equipment. All the mystery, the fancy jargon. This is it. This faction's special ability is "I just happen to know someone" where they seem to have a contact in every city the PCs happen to come into. I modeled this as a BIG organization contact. They don't really represent one group, just all have this one agent in common.

But she grew suspicious when orders started coming in that made no sense. When she started looking into it is when the accidents started happening. Soon it was obvious they were NOT accidents, adn Chindi ran for her life. Fortunately she had numerous back up houses set up and aliases. So she went underground. She needs to find out where this rot starts and burn it out. Now she's Agent X! Personality/Motivation: Find the TRUTH even if it hurts her Quote: Powers/Tactics: Like Nadeera, she's a ranged combatant. But it is in research and info gathering where she shines! Campaign Use: Appearance: 167 cm and 60 KG with African- American features black hair and brown eyes! She's always dressed in a MIB suit! This so fits the setting that I actually like it (Apart from the name). Lots of hooks and roleplaying opportunity. To power her down bring the Dex down to 23 or even 20. This is certainly the case where NCM and conversions don't mesh well. The rest should stay as she is more of an information grabber. To power her up. Well the other system had no types of Martial Arts (I think they are subsumed in the Combat System) so I'd give her a basic agent type package. Again, this is NOT a front line combatant, but an info specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your Sword of Fire? Then this is the faction for you. Long ago they set in motion events that resulted in all the monotheist religions being dominant (the fact that they resemble angels is not a coincidence) They were part of the same ship as the Elohim, but were the jailers and guards. But it has been so long and many are questioning their original mission. Angelos get no powers. Instead they are allowed to buy high tech item at a discount (beyond even the discount you get for it being an item. Most often they go for a power armour set up, so think Iron Man.

In armour about the same size, but the armour is white with gold highlights. on the back are vents that he can use to vent the inner flame and fly. He also carries a very high tech railgun and a handle that flares into a sword when he grasps it! Despite the trapping, Zuriel is a classic Power Armour type. Can go ranged or HTH and is very durable and hard to hurt. To power him down, not much. He's bare bones as it is. Remove the CSLs if you must. To power him up is easier. Spd of 5. And extra Strength through the armour. I would even go with more armour like 15/15! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Aaron Allston commented that to make a team act like a team one way is to make a villain who was as strong as the brick, as dexterous as the martial artist, fast as the speedster. And give him something that will majorly make people miserable. And then have the heroes try and stop him. Jotunn serves that purpose here. As written he will give any starting team a run for their money.

He quickly imprinted the Nazi ideology and was a fervent supporter in the super powered feild through the war. When Germany lost he relocated to South America and basically commiserate with like minded people about the injustice of it all. Recently he has come to the conclusion that if the world was not going to accept an authoritarian rule willingly, it would be forced. To that end he has bred a number of "children" and recruited followers. Now he begins his quest to save the world! Personality/Motivation: A fascist authoritarian Quote: Powers/Tactics: Hit it hard and often. Jotunn is extremely strong, can fly at amazing speeds and take a lot of damage! Campaign Use: Appearance: Tall, blond hair and blue eyes. He wears dark trunks and a white top. White boots and gloves and a dark cape complete the ensemble! Jotunn fill another niche in the game world, the villain you don't feel bad about stopping / fighting. Is he powerful? Yes. Is he acting on his convictions? Yes. It is just that his convictions are .... not very acceptable. To power him down, get rid of the Reduced End on strength, bring flight down to 25", and Dex down to 25. If still not enough a Speed of 5 should do it! To power him up, Strength 80, And a selection of Brick Tricks (AE no range, AE line, etc!) If you really want him scary a Speed of 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Now for Jotunn's.... Children. One I will not be posting as his powers and restrictions are disturbing. As well the source material describes them all as disfigured in some way (are we saying disfigured and ugly = evil. I HOPE NOT) But they are a group that buys into daddies ideology. They do make for either a team to support daddy on one of his personal missions or as a strike team on their own supported by a cadre of agents complete with cutting edge gear. First Tannhauser. Powers were Flight and Vampiric Abilities. I probably have them wrong, but as is he's scarry. The longer the fight goes, the more he'll outlast you.

Personality/Motivation: Quote: Powers/Tactics: Flight and vampire-like drain. If given enough time he can drain someone to death! Campaign Use: Appearance: Pale skin and white hair. He wears a black utility uniform with purple highlights! Not much to go on here, he's basically his father's agent. But he is questioning his purpose, which gives a role playing hook! Powering him down is difficult as he is bare bones as it is. Powering him up is easier. Add a strength transfer and reduce the recovery rate. But that also places him on the "first to get blasted out of the sky" list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. R Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Gurnemanz takes the deformed idea and goes even further, giving one arm. I hope the publishers change this section. I have a friend who is blind and epileptic. Is he evil? But as an NPC he does fill a need for the opposition, team brick. He's not super strong, but is earth powers make him a front line combatant!

He worked at improving his body, and when his powers manifested, his father was pleased. He is now one of his father's most loyal followers! Personality/Motivation: A reflection of his father. Quote: Powers/Tactics: Classic Earth Controller. Campaign Use: Appearance: Medium height, bulky, bald. He always seems to be covered in dust. He wears a utility uniform, black with purple highlights. His right arm ends as a stump at the elbow! You want to power him down, make the MP just an EB and make it 10 d6. Powering him up means more damage, maybe 14 d6.
