The growth in the Indian film industry had turned the city into an unprecedented center of glamor and entertainment. Unfortunately for Meena, some of the local pretty boy stars decided she was an acceptable target for their more brutal sexual appetites. Unfortunately for them, she was had a latent MR Node. With the second of three rapists on top of her and the filthy street below, she erupted. She sent the dark energies coursing threw her into her assailants and watched as they, screaming and pleading, warped into more and more monstrous forms until their organs collapsed. Meena quickly found a niche for herself among the city of stars. Taint was unacceptable to media darlings and she charged hefty fees for absorbing it. Her "cure" isn't permanent but that only ensures return costumers. In 2005, she contacted Raoul Orzaiz and joined the Teragen seeing it as a place where Novas understood Taint rather than feared it. She continues to operate her Purity Clinic in Bombay and consults with wealthy Novas worldwide, covertly examining her shallow costumers for those with backbone to be recruited into the Teragen. Quote: "You must use Taint, master it for that is the only way you can influence it. Regardless of what you think you are, Taint is your true self. That's it. Give in to it. Let it surge threw you...." Appearance:Meena is an slight attractive Indian woman with black hair, dark eyes and a conservative reserved look. She dresses in business suits and plain dresses, keeps her hair in a simple pony tail and overall maintains a professional look at all times. For all her love of Taint, she has no physical aberrations (at least none that can't be covered with clothing) and has not undergone a Chrysalis.

Oh, I take it Abalative has been changed? It used to give the power an activation roll that got worse each time damage penetrated.

What sort of house rules and campaign guidelines would work for a "WWE Hero" campaign. That is a game that assumes all the wrestling stuff is totally real, including the "powers". I was thinking the guidelines for a Wild Martial Arts campaign, perhaps?

I'm looking for suggestions for these two powers in Hero System terms. 1 Stopping Time. The character can stop time while he can move about normally. He can affect the time stopped objects normally, moving and even harming them if he so desires. 2. A force field that stops an entire attack, but weakens proportionally to the size of the attack, meaning a large enough attack can collaspe it all together. It would slowly regenate "energy" over time. Ex:The feild has 30 points of Def. Its hit for 15 body. The FF will stop 15 more points of damage before collasping.

He was born to nobility so the idea of being above the common man is not new to him. So the philosophy of Teras called to him after he Erupted, and he met with other founding members of the Teragen as the historic roundtable that birthed organization shortly at the Galatea Eruption. Orzaiz is a staunch believer in the Philosophy of Teras, but in many ways is an oddity. He has never been threw a Chrysalis and seems to have no desire to. He associate freely with Baselines and Novas alike, counting members of both "races" as close friends. He simply acknowledges that Novas and Baselines are different and thinks Novas do not "owe" humanity their service (the line pushed by Utopia). If a Nova wishes to, and chooses to work with and help baselines with his abilities that is his decision. But he should not be forced to, either physically or by emotional manipulation. Raoul represents a faction of the Teragen called The Casablancans. Deal makers and politically savvy types that realize that baseline society isn't just going to keel over to Nova will and must be dealt with. Quote:"If your neighbor owns a shovel, you do not automatically expect him to dig your new swimming pool. You ask him. How is this any different?" Powers:Raoul's physical development is superhuman. He is faster, stronger and more durable than any human, easily exceeding even Olympic caliber athletes. He has been gifted with an extra ordinary will and is resistant to mind powers of all sorts. Personally, he is incredibly charming and well spoken. Even his enemies speak well of him. In some ways, he is the perfect noble, intelligent, attractive charismatic and powerful. Appearance:Orzaiz is tall and strikingly handsome. He shaves his head and maintains a small neat beard and mustache. The overall effect is roguish and striking in slightly "Lavey" manner. He is of Spanish descent and well muscled, moving with a cat like grace and economy of motion. Always dressed impeccably, he favors tailored European suits but is equally at home in safari gear or casual wear. "Schwartzennegger's acting was extremely disappointing, especially after his performance in Conan the Barbarian; he's so stiff and mechanical, he comes across like a robot." -From an actual review of The Terminator

Seeing the potential in the young nova, the British government turned her into a living weapon. Suffering from post truamatic stress, the girl quickly withdrew and soon took pleasure in only one thing, causing pain. "Shrapnel" as she came to be known earned a deadly reputation in the Equatorial Wars (conflicts in Africa and South America fought mainly be Nova Mercs (Elites) as proxies for baseline soldiers. Secretly, she took great pleasure in tormenting the pathetic humans she was supposed to be protecting. After a few years, she went rogue and while dodging the manhunt sent for her met Natalya "Swarm Queen" Pronova, another disillusion Elite. In 2003, Count Raul Orzaiz offered them both member ship in the nascent Teragen organization. Inside, Shrapnel longed to end the violence and return to her baseline innocence. But all around she Nova, her "people" used and abused so human could reap the rewards. Novas were used to fight so the monkeys could live? What made their lives more important? In 2005, when Mal issued his famous Null Manifesto, Natalya, Shrapnel and a cadre of other Novas went public and formed The Primacy(The Faction of the Teragen that urges the conquest/destruction of Baselines).. The time of the One Race had come! Powers:Shrapnel's powers are fairly straight forward. She can assume an inorganic form and fire concussive blasts of white hot metal and energy at well. Her metal form is extremely durable and can fly on jets of molten debris. Shrapnel has superhuman strength, but rather mild compared to most nova and prefers to keep her fights at range, despite her martial arts training and natural agility. Appearance:Shrapnel "The Angel of Teras", emerged from her first Chrysalis as a being of metal and energy rather an flesh and blood. She appears to be statue of molten metal and shards, eerily beautiful and terrifying at once. Her razor edged white hot "flesh" can slice threw steel like butter and when she rages, even strong men grew faint. Shrapnel can "pull herself together" and resume more human form but prefers not to, liking to stay in her "natural" form. In human form she is no less attractive, with long flowing red hair, bright green eyes and a hint of freckles. But her face is cold and her eyes hold only a burning malice for the world.

A follower with a tendency to betray his leaders. He grew up one of many disenfranchised French youths full of resent but with no ambition. He was an easy recruit for the ultra nationalist movements in France at the time. Those beliefs carried on when he Erupted and, convinced he was a superior being, Marcel became a member with Caroline Fong of the roundtable that formed the Teragen. Following Fong's lead, Marcel underwent his first Chrysalis early, but when Fong's Chrysalis failed (or vastly prolonged itself) he saw her as a failure and turned his worship to Mal's lover Scripture and threw him, Mal himself. Without Scripture's knowledge he betrayed the location of Fong's Chrysalis cocoon to Project Utopia to get her out of the way. He began to see Mal as a divine figure and those that didn't follow this belief, such as The Mathematician and Count Orzaiz as heretics that needed to be purged from the movement. Marcel has grown more and more obsessed with Mal and now wants to replace Scripture in his eyes, seeing him as a false prophet leading him astray. Going threw a second Chrysalis only strengthened this obsession to all new levels and will lead to some of the bloodiest times in the Teragen. Appearance:The Apostle is perfect. His features, build, everything about him is angelically beautiful practically beyond compare. Every features seems to have been created by a master sculpture to meld flawlessly into the next. His build is just defined enough. His eyes just piercing enough, his jaw line strong without being too rugged. In short, perfect. And its frightening. The Apostle's beauty is so fine it is inhuman. He has none of the little flaws and failings that make a person real. He is like a air brushed ideal of masculine beauty come to life and its disturbing to look upon him. His beauty incites an almost wanton lust in those attracted to such but also makes them feel small and insignificant. Others simply feel jealous and ugly compared to him. Another sign of his abandoned humanity is the fact he doesn't walk but hovers constantly, sheathed in a hazy cloud of sweet smelling narcotic gases. The Apostle tends to dress in robes as befit of holy man but does don more normal suits for appropriate occasions. Powers:The Apostle is a living drug factory. He can produce any chemical narcotic or drug imaginable at will. His body is covered in millions of syringe like hairs, ultra strong and incredible sharp. He can use these hairs to inject his toxins into anyone not protected by some form of hard armor (a natural shell will do), or a forcefield. Delomir is all but immune to mental powers and his natural charisma and social ability have been elevated to superhuman levels by his eruption and Chrysalis. Unfortunately, his power has a price. When activates many of his powers, he immediately begins to produce powerful narcotic vapors that affect all around him.

I think corpses tend to dry out in vaccuum when their moisture bleeds away, but don't pop like balloons. But that is a good point. Yes, soime extreme enviornments are going to effect the zombies, but for the most part they are immune to the conditions they could be expected to encounter in their setting. And the trouble with Hero life support is that, for the most part, its all or nothing. You're either completely immune or you can be hurt be extremes. And it comes out to be more expensive build a character that is resistant instead of immune.

Yeah, I problably will in his ver 2.0. I debated it but his Aberrant write up didn't give him Mega Wits and/or Quickness so I decided to be faithful to the numbers instead of the concept in that instance. And many of the "bricks" were coming out out with 2-3 speeds, but yeah he should problably have a sconce more speed since he takes on teams by himself.

He is the enforcer of the Teragen and a monstrous force of vengeance for Novas as a race. He was apparently recruited shortly after Eruption and his accent places him as British. Aside from that little else is known. His name is taken from Dante's Inferno, an appropriate source. Geryon is one of the founding members of the Teragen and the leader of the Nova Vigilance faction, a group devoted to "protecting the rights of Novas and stopping Baseline Oppression". Considering one of the principles of Teras is that Novas are beyond human law and morality this has troubling implications. Geryon is wanted for numerous acts of murder and terrorism the world over, including the public "executions" of those that would "oppress the One Race (Novas). His victims include the mayor of Tampa Florida when he declared the city off limits to Novas and a Central African dictator that tried to install tracking beacons in his countries Nova population. All his killings have been extremely brutal, meant to send a message to any one that follow in his victim's footsteps. He doesn't go out of his way to kill Baselines, but doesn't spare them either crushing any that get between him and his target. Or escape. So far the combined efforts of Interpol, the Directive and Project Utopia have been unable to stop him. Perhaps the only redeeming feature about Geryon is that he refuses to kill another Nova. He has never explained quite why, but he seems unwilling to move into lethal combat with another Nova. It is a small mercy has he has no problems with crippling another Nova as a demonstration of his power as the tragic paralyzation of Harmony demonstrates. Geryon seems to hold a particular contempt for Team Tomorrow and other "super heroes" such as Team Nippon, taking a very personal pleasure in defeating them. Powers:Geryon possess extreme levels of superhuman strength and resistance to injury. He is essentially immune to small arms fire and rip reinforced concrete apart with his bare hands. Geryon is extremely fast and agile for his size, capable of moving with blinding speed even against other Novas. His personal fighting skills know almost no equal and he can easily hold his own against four or more Novas without falling totally on the defensive. Geryon has developed a personal highly acrobatic style of combat to capitalize on his abilities. Geryon also demonstrates highly advanced adaptive shape shifting. He regularly sprouts horns, claws, gills or anything else he need to capitalize on a situation. His form is rarely the same twice but is highly recognizable regardless. Appearance:In his nova form, Geryon is a monster, pure and simple. A hulking mountain of over developed muscular, fur, scales and armor plating. He never looks quite the same twice and changes to adapt to battle conditions growing digigrade legs, claws, horns or whatever he needs at will. Geryon's head is scarcely more than a suggestion almost totally engulfed by his overdeveloped shoulders such at he has no neck. But perhaps more disturbing is that his face is supernaturally beautiful, perfect in every way. Exactly what his human form looks like isn't known, but its apparently very non descript as he can vanish into a crowd almost effortlessly once he assumes it.

Hail Mary? Benediction? Last Rites?

Sorry, I've sort of fallen behind on this. Next up will be Skew or Raganrockette.

I think the grease lasted until you wiped it off.

Re: Mr. Immortal Why was he locked in the box? Was there some legitimate reason for one of his "teammates" to murder (or attempt to) murder him?

I guess this isn't about champions in particular, but I was looking over my various Champions game and wondered. Just how often does sexuality come up in your games? Not so much in the graphic sense, but in the sense of dating, relationships, attraction?

LOL What did she think was happening? Live Action Role playing?

Geez, how petty can you get. ALong the lines of Stripperealla, we had Juggernaut, stripper by day, crime fighter by night. Her powers were...odd..

Re: Whats the Weirdest Character? Made him drop the character, his girlfriend or the character?

I have to say I've found this all really interesting, and timely, since I just became GM of a teen champions PBEM. WHich has room for one or tw more characters if anyone is interested.

Yep, someone did and posted them to the Hero Mailing list just a few days ago.

Thanks, thats a great site

They are, quite simply, animated corpses brought to life by some unknown means. They have minimal intelligence and seek only one thing to eat. They're desired food is human beings and they can seemingly sense them. These creatures are slow, their senses are dull and they are dumb. These zombies seem to almost be able to sense living flesh and swarm to it, drawn by some unholy instinct. They don't let anything stand in there way, battering threw any obstruction. Some seem to have rudimentary memories, such as :"house=people=food" and one zombie girl arms herself with gardening tool at one point, but mostly they simple shamble and grab for their targets then try to eat them alive when they get a hold. The zombies can be destroyed by a significant blow to the head or presumably decapitation. Nothing much else seems to bother them. They don't feel pain or fear, just an endless insatiable hunger. Powers:Basically what you would expect of a corpse. They're hard to put down, don't breath or bleed and don't feel pain. They can sense living flesh fairly well. I didn't give them an "infection" power because in the movies zombies didn't create new zombies, well, beyond killing people so they could "wake up" (assuming they weren't completely devoured). It just seemed to be something that was happening worldwide. More of a campaign thing. Appearance:Relatively fresh corpses, pallid with blue lips and milky eyes. They don't speak but only moan incoherently at times. Some have spots of decay and I imagine they don't smell too good. They move with as if painfully arthritic, shambling and jerky gait clearly noticeable, but someone might mistake a fresh one for a living person who is drunk or in pain. It may have been a limitation of budge, but only the very recently dead awakened though there is one scene of a very decayed corpse coming back to life. It looks like its little more than wet bones.

He's been with the Team since its creation and function as one of the resident field scientists as well as a combatant. Ewen is somewhat obsessed with the classical period and always has been. Even the nature of his Nova form show strong influence from Greek and Roman myth, earning him, along with is fashion choices, the nickname "The Apollo Kid". Utopia does not officially support that name as it could potentially alienate and offend members of certain religions and could encourage Nova worship as supernatural beings. Something Utopia tries to stop. Powers:Ewen's powers mainly revolve around the control and generation of fire. He can do practically anything using flame and is very creative with his powers. His eruption has also gifted him with a godlike physique and presence. When he exerts himself his will can bend even strong men to do his what he says and his body is tough to enough endure punishments that would easily kill a "mortal". His most potent power is perhaps his mind. Ewen's intellect is high even for a Nova and his naturally talented in the physical sciences and engineering. Ewen tries not to let his powers go to his head and generally succeeds, but he can be a bit arrogant. Appearance:The Apollo Kid is truly an Adonis. Tall, handsome and well muscled without being bulky, like a Greek statue come to life. He has flowing blonde hair, dark eyes and a regal and serene expression. He forgoes that standard Team Tomorrow uniform for robes, togas and other clothing in a neo classical design. His natural charisma is such that he can pull this off without looking insane. Instead he looks like a myth come to life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Schwartzennegger's acting was extremely disappointing, especially after his performance in Conan the Barbarian; he's so stiff and mechanical, he comes across like a robot." -From an actual review of The Terminator

The Xmen Evolution and Static Shock animated shows might make for good inspiration for a Teen Champions game.
