  1. Re: FELION Background needs expanding and fixing up

    I have a character concept that has beed on the back burner for a while.

     

    Before working on charactersheet I want to get the background a bit expanded and fixed up.

     

    The feline/human hybrid character has always fascinated me since the early days of Tigra from the avengers (Marvel Comics) So of course I had to create one.

    There are many character concepts that can be connected to A feline character;

    1) MUTANT with feline appearance and abilities

    2) LYCANTHROPE That happened to be cat instead of wolf.

    3) ALIEN from a planet where life evolved from cats

    4) MAGIC Spell to turn woman into cat-woman

    How do I make the character?

    1) Multi-form

    2) OIHID

    3) Normal champions character

    This is what I did

    BACKGROUND: To be fleshed out.

    Mother was scientist (into one of the life sciences) Was 2 months pregnant (or more depending on how far a pregnant woman would be willing to work in Jungle/Forest environment..

    One day a couple hours after sundown, the group containing the scientist was attacked by wild cat. Scientist got bit. Rushed to med unit and given lots of anti-viral and anti-bacteria medication.

    When baby was due discovered mom was saved from Lycanthropy but not the child. and unlike a normal lycanthrope. The child was hybrid all the time (Not limited to full moons).

    Child kept isolated but with the growing population and popularity of non-human / semi-human paranormals running about. Mother and daughter felt it was time for the child, now a young adult to be introduced to the world.

    PS. Mayday, if you see this I always enjoy you feedback.

    PPS. I will always accept helpful comments and suggestions from the members of this board.

     

    Just for the record, you left out a fifth possibility for the origin

    of a feline/human hybrid: genetic engineering.

     

    Space Cadet :cool:

  2. How about a campaign based on literature's first known super-

    hero -- the Scarlet Pimpernel? Given the current feelings

    towards the French in certain quarters these days, I'd imagine

    that there would be more than a few RPers who'd welcome

    the opportunity to stick it to "those demmed Frenchies" -- at

    least in a campaign context.

     

    Space Cadet :cool:

  3. For a really interesting "fish-out-of-water" series-based game,

    you could use the show Outlaws as a guide for such a

    campaign. The show was about an outlaw gang and a former

    friend-turned-lawman from the 19th Century American West

    transported forward in time to the 20th Century by a lightning

    bolt, and their subsequent efforts to fit in to their new time.

    Dear Krusher,

     

    Thanks again for the new bodies. If it can be arranged, I'm going to need a new shapeshifter body. You were right about the unstable part, though I believe there's a way to correct the problem (I'm sending you some specs and notes that might be helpful). In the meantime...

     

    A SPECIAL ANOUNCEMENT FOR ALL SUPER SCUM MAGAZINE SUBSCRIBERS:

     

    With the recent mysterious disappearance of Uncle Lou, I as the senior most member of the SSM staff will be acting editor and chief. Lou was last seen during the aftermath of an evil plot gone horribly wrong down at the Bad Sector Club. My contact at the Space Academy has recently informed me that he hasn't been by with the latest batch of Super Scum Magazines and other contraband goodies, so we here at SSM Headquarters fear the worst. I will keep you informed as further information becomes available

     

    Bad Probability,

     

    You've got a contact here in the Academy? Hmm... I'll have to

    look him (or her, or it -- this is, after all, a multi-species

    establishment) up one of these days.

     

    This could also explain why the guys in the CCU (Contraband

    Confiscation Unit) look so insufferably pleased with them-

    selves lately...

    I've just managed to get hold of a copy of the Swimsuit Edition referred to at the start of the thread. Imagine my delight and anticipation as I scuttled back to my Penumbratic Palace and bolted the doors behind me.

     

    Imagine my delight turning to horror as I unfolded the Centrefold and discovered some pneumatic wench in a sapphire blue micro-kini!

     

    I'd been promised Michael Jackson in a thong!

     

    Now admittedly his recent thongs have thucked, but I'm still outraged.

     

    Furnish me with semi-nude neo-albino pictures or it's firework time!

     

    I know that this board occasionally attracts some, shall we

    say, interesting people, but this... the only word in the

    English language that really fits here is:

     

    BLEEEAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!

     

    Space Cadet :P

  6. Speaking of things post-apocalyptic, I recently had occasion

    to check out the Abacus Dimensions website (the folks who

    currently sell The Morrow Project and its support material),

    and according to the news section of their MP page, there

    is supposed to be a new adventure for the game coming out

    soon called Fall Back!

     

    Here's the Web address:

  7. My guess would be that only those beings possessed of tremendous

    natural, magical or cosmic powers and/or abilities would have the potential

    to survive to the Terran Empire era. Cateran and Teleios are good choices

    (Cateran by virtue of her immortality, Teleios as a result of his advanced scientific

    knowledge). Menton could concievably survive by means of psionic transference

    (vis-a-vis the Witchmen of the Horseclans novels).

    Superhumans who are immortal as a result of being endowed with cosmic-

    level energies could also survive to that future era. In all cases, though,

    they would either have to live in near-isolation from other people, or

    go the Highlander route: spend ten or twenty years in one identity,

    then move on or "die", then start all over in a new location.

     

    Space Cadet :cool:

  8. Before anyone asks what CMDF stands for, here it is:

     

    Combined Miniature Deterrent Forces (from the film Fantastic Voyage,

    which was set in the not-so-distant future -- back when the

    movie was originally made -- of 1995).

     

    Space Cadet :cool:

  9. Like Mr. Greenwade, I too would like to see a 5thEd version of

    Super Agents, especially with the recent revival of that

    particular genre in both movies and TV. It'd be particularly

    interesting to see how well cinematic super-agencies from

    some of the wilder '60s movies would work in a Hero campaign

    (just imagine the looks on the PCs' faces when they're suddenly

    thrust into the middle of a CMDF covert op).

     

    Space Cadet :D

  10. One possible choice for a series-based campaign would be the

    late '70s series SEARCH, especially for GMs who don't have large

    groups of players to deal with. From what I can remember of the

    show, each episode dealt with a single SEARCH operative being

    given a mission to carry out while recieving virtually-constant

    intelligence support from SEARCH HQ. The operatives themselves

    were wired for both sound and video that allowed SEARCH HQ

    to see and hear whatever the operative did.

  11. YESSS!! At last -- at long last -- I have my own copy of the USPD.

    Now I can give free rein to the diabolical r** b******* side of myself

    and come up with some really fiendish baddies.

     

    Heh-heh-heh...

     

    Space Cadet

    :D

  12. Of the abilities mentioned in the Miscellaneous Powers section

    of the USPD webpage -- Linguistic Savant, True Universal Translator,

    and Universal Translator -- which comes closest to duplicating the ability

    of the Antonio Banderas character in The 13th Warrior? You know,

    the scene where he's sitting at the fire with the Vikings and listening

    to them speak in their language for a few minutes before talking to

    them in the same language.

I saw this available at the video store a few months back but didn't get it in case my poor memory was a defense mechanism.

     

     

    You want bad PA films, anyone remember Night of the Comet? :eek:

     

    Give praise indeed to your poor memory, for it has saved you

    from shelling out $10 - $15 bucks for one of the worst PA pics

    in the last 20-odd years (me, I paid $4.95 to see this on Pay-

    Per-View when it first came out).

     

    Space Cadet :D

  14. You wanna talk about post-apocalypse stuff that's guaranteed

    to kill off a few brain cells? Well, then, here's a movie to add

    to the Cinematic Post-Apocalypse List that'll do the job quite

    nicely: Def-Con 4. IIRC, this one was about the crew of a

    U.S. MIRV-armed space station (obviously, Hollywood script-

    writers have never heard of the Outer Space Treaty). They

    survive an unplanned re-entry only to have to deal with the

    hazards of a post-WWIII Earth -- cannibals, lunatic survivalists

    and a would-be college yuppie overlord (who was responsible

    for the aforementioned unplanned re-entry in the first place).

     

    Space Cadet :cool:

  15. Another post-apocalypse setting can be found in the C.A.D.S. series

    of books written by John Seivert. The series deals with the adventures of a

    top-secret experimental force of U.S. battlesuit troopers after the start

    of World War III ( sort of like Heinlein's Starship Troopers meets The Day After ).

     

    As far as environmental apocalypse goes, you can add the movie Quintet

    to the list of post-apocalypse movies. This Paul Newman picture deals

    with a group of people trying to survive in an ice-age environment.
