JmOz Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 So had an idea this morning for a way to add consistency to some NPC Heroes It is two groups of heroes, one based on Captain Marvel and family (DC Comics version) the Other is basically a Super Senti Rip off I decided that there powers would come from the "life spirits", basically instead of gods, each letter would be an animal The name of the Marvel like family is MIGHTY, having trouble with Y...not a lot of animals start with Y M: Mouse gives cleverness I: Insect Gives Resilience (a bit of a cheat...) G: Gorilla gives Strength H: Hawk gives Speed T: Tasmanian Devil gives Ferocity Y: UMMM HELP...……………….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Yack? Yeti? Yellow Racer (snake)? Your right. Not many animals which begin with Y. Yeti gives intelligence. Yack give stubbornness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Perhaps you could consider "M. I. G. H. T. I. E?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels2 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Mighty = Mongoose. cleverness, fearless Impala = Speed Gorilla = Strength Humming Bird = precision Tiger = directed ferocity Ibis = Patience, observance Eagle = Leadership Thoughts?

JmOz Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 The idea of spelling it differently is interesting, but would prefer the Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Neilson Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Use Yellow Racer for speed and the Hawk provides Flight. Or the yak could provide endurance. EDIT: Or branch out and give them stings like a yellowjacket. https://www.activewild.com/animals-that-start-with-y/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 So.... Yabba, Yak, and animals that begin with "Yellow....." Yep. That's a hard spot, all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Monkey for cleverness. Tiger for ferocity. Unfortunately Monkey clashes with Gorilla. I've got nothing for Y. The only Australian animal that isn't a "yellow thingie thingie" is a yabby, and small fresh water crayfish aren't promising sources for superpowers.

assault Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Report post M: Monkey gives Cleverness I: Insect Gives Resilience (a bit of a cheat...) G: Gazelle gives Gracefulness H: Hawk gives Speed (or Eyesight) T: Tiger gives Ferocity Y: Yak gives Stamina Alternatively, replace Insect with Impala (agility, leaping), and replace Gazelle with something else. (Not Gorilla, because of the clash with Monkey.) Gecko (clinging) Giraffe Goat Goose Grasshopper Greyhound Gopher(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Okay, Yak for Stamina it will be...only thing that even kind of works Assualt, thank you T will be changed to Tiger. however for my own reasons I will be keeping Mouse (For the Sentai Team, I like the idea of Mouse) assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's no clash with Gorilla. How about Impala for I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 If you want to make it more challenging, but more diverse, perhaps there are different MIGHTY animals for different areas of the world. A Yak grants Stamina for the Eurasian version, and a Yellowjacket grants [Speed; Flight; Poison Stings; enhanced senses] for the North American version. One approach would be to reverse engineer it. What powers do you want? Now examine the easy letters for choices first - a letter that only fits one power gets that animal and that power. Gazelle can grant Agility and Gorillas can grant Strength (in our African MIGHTY, anyway 😉). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 The MIGHTY' (Mighty Man, Mighty Girl) are OIHID Flying Bricks with a custom lim (more active, less power) The Mighty Warriors (The Sentei Team) will be each empowered by one aspect. Due to drawing less power they do not effect the MIGHTY's Power level in any real way (Theoretically it should cut off 1-2 active points, but that is more book keeping than I think it is worth) . Ironically Yak will be a little more powerful than the rest (Sixth Ranger syndrome). Also each will have a unique ability. Mouse can shrink, Hawk can fly (and maybe enhanced vision). Insect will probably have a Visible armor power (not always on)...etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 The Mighty Warriors The Mighty Warriors are a team that uses armor to channel the Mighty Force. The Armor can be summoned to them. While out of armor they do not possess powers, they do have a natural aptitude towards their animal's abilities Mouse (Smart Guy). Mouse's special ability is to shrink to just 2" tall (from his normal 4'10") Insect (The Chick): (high) Toughness, Strong, flight Gorilla (Big Guy), Strength, toughness Hawk (Leader): Flight Tiger (Lancer): Not sure how "ferocity" would manifest, but see him as the best fighter Yak (Sixth Ranger). He falls down, but he always gets back up (regeneration, ,high Rec, etc..., played a couple over the years, it's amazing how great +30 REC can actually be, Especially with a +80 Stun only to determine level of Unconsciousness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devolutionary Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Yapok starts with Y. I don't know if the power of a super-cute swimming possum is quite what you are looking for... H for Hare and T for Tortoise seem like possibilities. Speedster and brick? Or speedster and reverse speedster (he slows you down)?

Devolutionary Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Meso-American selection MONKEY (swinging, climbing) IGUANA (?)

CrosshairCollie Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 The main problem I see with Yak is that it's also a slang term for vomiting, which could result in some embarrassing situations for that character. Then again, Sentai series can be kind of silly, so ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathSheep Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Cute idea. Here are some ideas I hope will help: M Mountain Goat gives Surefootedness, Charge (move through) Mountain Lion gives Stealth Mink gives Swift Attacks, Fearlessness I Impala gives Agility, Alertness, Speed Ibis gives Knowledge (according to Egyptian myth), Loyalty Iguana gives Aggressiveness Irish Wolfhound gives Strength, Dignity G Giraffe gives Grace, Speed Gorilla gives Strength Gila Monster gives Venom, Tunneling German Shepherd gives Courage, Loyalty H Hippopotamus gives Speed in Water, Strength, Appetite Hyena gives Immunity to Disease, Teamwork Hammerhead Shark gives Awareness, Relentlessness Hawk gives Perception, Speed in Air Horse gives Speed, Endurance Hare gives Speed, Agility, Luck Honey Badger don't care T Tasmanian Devil gives Ferocity, Courage, Psychosis Toucan gives Presence, Dexterity Tapir gives Stealth, Agility Tiger gives Strength, Speed, Courage Tortoise gives Patience, Protection Tibetan Mastiff gives Courage, Loyalty Y Yak gives Protection from Cold, Strength, Endurance Yorkshire Terrier gives Energy, Courage, Cleverness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
