  2. Dropbear Harry Macaye grew up on his parents sheep station in the outback his dad wanted him to follow in his footsteps but Harry was a small and sickly child much more interested in science and mathematics despite being home schooled he was granted a scholarship to a prestigious private school in Victoria. Whilest there Harry under went a remarkable and massive growth spurt going seemingly overnight from a 7 stone weakling to a huge and brutish figure. He was quickly head hunted by the school's rugby team where he reveled an extraordinary level of agility for some one of his size his nickname was Bunyip after the mythical outback boogeyman due to his imposing size and speed. Harry graduated early and went on to study biochemistry at the University of Victoria. He graduated with honors and continued at the school in an attempt to get his doctorate it was during this time he began to experiment to discover what had triggered in him to transform him from weakling to rugby legend. During the process he discovered he was a mutant and that he could further enhance his abilities with a combination of hormones, amino acids and various pharmaceuticals. Deciding to test the mixture and being the only available subject Harry downed the concoction and passed out. He woke to discover he was now covered in thick Grey fur his face had taken on a distinctly ursine quality and his feet already disproportionately large and flexible had become much more hand like. Looking in the mirror he realized he looked like a giant humanoid koala apart from his ferocious looking fangs. Harry disappeared from university and found his way to a secret private school for those with extraordinary abilities in the outskirts of Victoria. He stayed there as a teacher for many years before a rescue mission by the staff and students resulted in him coming to the attention of Australia's avengers and being invited to join the team. Harry has served on and off for years alternating between the team and the school. He has taken the code name DROPBEAR from the fictional carnivorous koalas used to scare tourists. Because of his incredible climbing abilities he often uses dropbear tactics climbing above foes to drop on them from a great height. Despite his now monstrous appearance Harry is still an intellectual at heart much happier reading researching or teaching than busting heads but he does enjoy the rush.
  3. I tend to think of a hardboiled PI as a nerf brick very tough they can take a beating shrug off bullet wounds and survive things that would kill normal people with wince some iodine and a shower. Not a huge amount of damage but a good right cross that will put most normal humans down in one punch. And of course the trusty .45 which rarely gets fired but acts as a presence bonus.
  4. Wikipedia section on Deadpools powers and abilities. Powers and abilities Deadpool's primary power is an accelerated healing factor, depicted by various writers at differing levels of efficiency. Artificially endowed by Dr. Killebrew for the Weapon X program, this enables him to regenerate any destroyed tissue at a superhuman rate, as well as making him immune to diseases. Deadpool's healing factor is strong enough that he has survived complete incineration and decapitation more than once.[citation needed] Although his head normally has to be reunited with his body to heal a decapitation wound, he was able to regrow his head after having it pulverized by the Hulk in the graphic novel Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. Deadpool's brain cells are similarly affected, with dying neurons being rejuvenated at a super accelerated rate. This allows Deadpool to recover from any head wounds, and it renders him nearly invulnerable to psychic and telepathic powers, although this ability is inconsistent. It has been revealed that, at the time his healing ability was given to him, Deadpool suffered from some form of cancer; after the healing factor was given to him, it made his normal cells as well as his cancerous cells unable to die, giving him a heavily scarred appearance beneath his suit. Deadpool's body is highly resistant to most drugs and toxins, due to his enhanced cell regeneration. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated. He can be affected by certain drugs, such as tranquilizers, if he is exposed to a large enough dosage.[citation needed] Deadpool is effectively immortal, although he has died several times. He is still alive 800 years in the future when the new X-Force encounters him. In addition, Thanos once declared that Deadpool should "consider yourself cursed ... with life!" out of jealousy over Deadpool's status as Lady Death's love interest. His enemy T-Ray later resurrected him, under Thanos' instruction, using an artifact he had given him. Later, Deadpool was informed that Thanos had placed a curse on him, and tracked Thanos down. He revealed that the only thing keeping Wade alive was his "spell of darkest necromancy". Although Thanos removed this curse in order to kill Deadpool, he felt forced to immediately bring him back using "a fusion of necromancy and science" in order to request his aid in tracking down Mistress Death, who had gone missing. Deadpool is a highly trained assassin and mercenary, adept in multiple forms of martial arts, and an expert swordsman and marksman. Although in earlier years he was originally portrayed as having superhuman strength, he is no longer depicted as having this ability. Over the years, Deadpool has owned a number of personal teleportation devices. Also, during Deadpool's first ongoing comic, he possesses a device which projected holographic disguises, allowing him to go undercover or conceal his appearance. He also has a magic satchel containing all of his unlimited weaponry and ammo. Deadpool is multilingual, with the ability to speak fluently in German, Spanish, ASL and Japanese, in addition to his native English.[citation needed] Since Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional character, he uses this knowledge to his advantage to deal with opponents or gain knowledge to which he should not normally have access, such as reading past issues of his and others' comics. Deadpool knows he has a Wikipedia article and hopes his fans keep his page updated.
  5. Just my system but I consider enochian as the first modern style of magic though Cabalist's might have been it's. Precursor the difference is that it is a structural style ideally the same enochian words would have the same effect.
  6. Yeah overall skill levels described as breaking the fourth wall would work. as would danger sense based on genre savvyness. That's basically Gwenpools whole schtick and just as true for Deadpool. If your building comic book DP Give him a cosmic vpp for guns and teleportation. then its just healing factor and lots of combat skills.
  7. heroes of mine without a tragicish backstory is The Englander a detective with super intuition peak human abilities and remarkable resilience gifted by a gem from the scabbard of Excalibur. He inherited it from his grandfather who was given it by the original WWII Englander before he died. So other than his grandfather dying of natural causes no tragedy. Special K I. A sikh Granted power by mystical artifacts the five symbols of the Sikh faith. no tragedy there just a religious obligation to protect the innocent he did start adventuring during a campaign of terror by Super powered neonazi football hooligans which might count. Special K II is slightly tragic as he replaced his older brother when he died saving the world from a millennial doomsday cult but he was more interested in the fame girls and action. Godiva the go go diva didn't have much tragedy other than the painful transformation when alien crystals impregnated her skin giving her light powered super strength. None of the Brittanias where tragic being the focus of the zeitgeist of British-ness the britannia off wwI probably had the most traumatic origin gaining her powers whilst driving ambulances during the somme offensive. The ambassador is not that tragic a Victorian era diplomat sent to an obscure South Pacific island for the sin of preventing a war the foreign office actually wanted to happen. He gets abducted by aliens who have been using the same native population as test subjects shortly before the island is destroyed by a volcano. He manages to become a galactic force for good as an expert diplomat from a world with no agenda he brokers peace on a number of alien worlds and is part of the reason aliens don't invade more often.
  8. IRON RANGER. EDWARD KELLY never Ed or Ned was the white sheep of his family while his mother father and brothers were involved in armed robbery extortion and vice Edward escaped first into books then science and engineering. When he was 15 he ran away from home moved to Sydney and created a fake ID to get away from his family and their criminal enterprises. A year later he had graduated high school and had a full scholarship to the university of Sydney his technical acumen would continue to gain him academic success he went on to do his masters at 19 at Oxford University and then finish with a PhD at Bostons MIT. I by 22 Edward was a millionaire from his inventions and was working for one of Australia's biggest arms firms developing Australia's first home grown power Armour system. Everything was going great for Edward until his estranged family saw him on a news broadcast. They tracked him down and kidnapped him and his boss and mentor threatening his life to force him to build Armour suits so they could branch out into super crime. Edward reluctantly to prevent them torturing his boss. using stolen farm machinery and blackmailed weapons, he built the suits for his family the Bush ranger Armour made his family nearly unstoppable their reign of terror would leave the whole country in fear as they effortlessly defeated the police and armed forces that opposed them even the superheroes were no match for them. Edward knew he was never going to get away they would keep him chained in his workshop as long as he provided upgrades for the Armour so together with his fiancé he built a final suit superior to the ones he had made for his family. Using his suit he was able to best his family and deliver them to justice but not without cost he was badly injured in the battle and is now confined to a wheel chair and his mentor was killed in the crossfire. The story he gave to the police was a falling out between the family and he didn't know who was in the suit. Since the traumatic experience of the kidnapping he has quit developing combat Armour and now is working on exoskeletons for the disabled amongst other projects. The Iron ranger was considered a person of interest in the Kelly family crimes until his consistent acts of bravery and crime fighting earned him a pardon from the governor General Eventually Edward revealed the truth that he was in fact the Iron Ranger and now openly serves as a member of the team
  9. Late entry you guys beat me to it agains I've been working on this one for three days and it turned into a short story here's the Tl;Dr version Rand And Hopper(DEFRAGGED) When silicon Valley PIs Elle Rand and Kirk Hopper run afoul of a gang of international industrial spies. The explosion that destroyed their office should have killed them both Elle only survived due to pioneering cybernetic surgery performed by the company they where working for Kirk wasn't so lucky a secret cyberpath his mind was separated from his body when he was killed. Now he's trapped in the running as a subprogram on Ellen's neural ware. Of course as a literal ghost in the machine he can be very handy in the high-tech wired up world of Siliicon valley.
  10. Another thought on magical talent is the END reserve and REC portion you could be the greatest and most knowledgeable practitioner in the world but if your personal mana battery is tiny your going to be stuck with enchantment and rituals where you can use other people's energy. Equally a hedge wizard with a small mana battery but a high rec could be more dangerous casting many small but effective spells than a glass Canon wizard who can cast some big Impressive spells but then has to wait to recharge.
  11. Wow hard to believe there has never been a noir detective TV show . I just assumed there would have been one I mean Charlie chan had one. The problem with using Dresden is he's a wizard who occasionally moonlights as a private eye rather than a detective who happens to be a wizard. Cysphrett for the adjudication lol.
  12. No I was going for a cast a deadly spell/Sam spade riff. Staves being Both a Minor arcana tarot suit and synonym for wands. thinkk thee maltese falcon meets the call off cuthulu
  13. Just thought of an awesome plot invisible blackmail a villain with invisibility powers like Sue Richard's makes famous works of art invisible then extorts the museums to make them visible again how much would the louvre pay to have the Mona Lisa visible again. Technically you haven't even committed a crime if someone else does it then offer your services as an expert in visibility.
  14. Jack Stave Jack Stave left LA in 1913 as the brightest of boot privates he came home a Sargent of the first American heavy Infantry. He had a purple heart, a chunk of Jerry shrapnel in his shoulder and his trusty browning 1911 service issue wand. Jack worked as a private dick the usual stuff cheating husband's insurance fraud and voodoo curses. Jack had a rep as the toughest guy around you didn't last long in the trenches of Mons with out mastering your wards. It took some serious mana to put Jack down. Then one day this dame walked into his office wanted him to recover this statue that had been stolen. She lay the glamour on thick. Jack took the case biggest mistake of his life bundist worshippers of ancient gods trying to summon nartholep to ensure a glorious thousand year Reich and Jack just one private dick with a better than average ward and a fully charged 1911. Jack succeeded in disrupting the ceremony but the resulting mystical backlash flung him into another world and time now he does what he can to make LA's supernatural set behave and deals with any weird cases that show up. Just another gumshoe in a warded trench coat with a wand in his shoulder holster.
  15. Phillip Faulkner Was a LAPD patrolman until during a bank robbery while rescuing a small child a stray shot caused shrapnel to destroy his left eye. While recovering in hospital the grandfather of the little girl he had saved visited him and presented him with a glass eye it was a perfect match for the one he had lost. It wasn't until Phillip returned to the station for desk work while he recovered he discovered the eyes secret power it let him see murderers. Using this gift Phillip helped solve a very difficult case for the force but as the eyes testimony was not admissible in court the hardest part was proving guilt. Detective Faulkner gains the murders trust by appearing to be a bumbling incompetent but by careful probing he destroys their alibi and either tricks them into confessing or revealing their guilt in some way.
  16. The thin blue line. The Cobalt Copper might work better as a tagline)
  17. Huge Hardara. The most mighty of Be tzee's warrior harem the Male Marauders. Hardara was once the greatest champion of his world resplendent in his golden armour and wielding the mighty giga-stave he defended his world from the forces of Xarrial only to be brought low. He was given to her as a plaything and is now hopelessly addicted to her milk. he acts as her devoted body guard enforcer and toy. Even though he is now clad only in the briefest of cloathing to show of his impressive physique he is still a ferocious combatant who is driven into a berserk fury if his mistress is threatened. His homeworld is under oppression but a secret resistance force led by his former paramour Onda Lamm hopes to free both him and their world.
  18. I actually have a couple more so let's go for 13
  19. Ge5s Ge5s is Majordomo gentlemans gentledroid and factotum to the court of the great Xarrial he(while technically sexless he has found that many species respond better to a male gendered avatar is a fastidious and hypercompetant artificial intelligence operating several gleaming Android bodya made of previous metals (visitors from the primitive backwater planet of earth have described it as art deco ) each avatar would be worth a considerable amount as a piece of art. ge5s is not a combatant but is more than capable of removing rowdy guests summoning as many units as necessary from the palaces service spaces to politly eject them from the premises. Though often his ascerbic wit and cutting remarks are actually more effective(ie huge ego blast with incantations requiring a high society roll.) Ge5s is fluent in all major and most minor galactic languages as well as culture and etiqute for all galactic civilizations but getting the rest of Xarrial's court to follow them is like hearding cats. Finally feel under the mountain palace are a network of industrial replicators capable of creating everything from food and drink to decorations right up to whole environment suites for visitors with unusual biology. Ge5s is convinced that Xarrial's empire would collapse without him and is probably right half the time.
  20. i assume he has a space at the top of the mountain where he can look down on his minions, receive conquered worlds representatives with their tribute and make dire pronouncements. of course now i'm picturing The Hooded one hovering over his shoulder like a cartoon devil. I bet there is a opulent antechamber where sycophants and his majordomo control who are allowed to the peak.
  21. The Hooded One. Xarrial's forces have many powerful warriors but no being strikes more fear into the hearts of his enemies and allies alike than the hooded one. This sinister and mysterious figure stands at Xarrial's right hand the hooded one is the head of Xarrial's secret policy and intelligence agencies. no one is sure of who or what the black cloaked figure that stands beside the throne and advises without a spoken word just the sense of a whispering tone in the mind.the hooded one is a cloaked figure wearing a hood that shows nothing but shadows and the barest sense of a pair of watch full eyes. no-one knows how the hooded one looks and even those who spend a great deal of time in the throne room are unable to agree on even it's height or physique. In battle the hooded one will flee only to strike from concealment. some have attempted to unmask the devious spymaster but have just found themselves holding an empty cloak. No one but Xarrial knows if there is just one being beneath the cloak or a whole agency.the hooded one could be anyone anywhere or anything and those that plot against the great Xarrial's will never feel safe.
  22. I was also trying to copy Granny goodness with Be Tzee's large stature and huge tracts .
  23. uk hero project types shamanic/geomantic there are weak points in the fabric of reality places where our plane touches others sometimes call lay lines or sacred spots. At these weak points releasing Psycho spiritual energy {basically energy drawn from the astral plane it can be harnessed through powerful emotions sex fear anger or through pain and death} will puncture the barriers between realms and allow the shaman to "speak" with beings from these other planes they go by many names spirits, ghosts, gods, angels and demons but they will grant power to the summoner. Geomantic magic was an effort to reshape the land to better channel the energies of the Astral plane and make accessing the energies of these other planes easier thus the stone circles and sacred groves of the neolithic. Geomantic magic continues today though most popular in china certain secret cabals of Geomancers are in a clandestine war over the roads sewers and other infrastructure of the world. London's M25 being a prime example being a mystical symbol that not only protects the city from magics directed from outside but also draws energy from the rest of the country and focuses it into the financial heart the fact that it also weakens the barriers to the lower planes is perhaps not a bug but a feature. Ritual a catch all term for the various traditions of what most people would describe as magic that have developed from the older shamanic traditions. the words phrases motions chanting and prepared ritual spaces are designed to allow the caster to commune with beings of the higher or lower realms and then have them use their power to perform a working. the ability and power of Ritual magic has increased but slowly due to the secrecy and active obfuscation of what actually works to prevent rival factions from using one groups rituals against them. Enochian the first of the modern magical schools devised by John Dee the royal Physician for queen elizabeth working with a talented psychic called Edward Kelley who helped him in his research using the rigorous approach of a Mathematician his work with Kelley created the Enochian language supposedly the language of the Angels but actually a very pure system for accessing the higher and lower planes unlike ritual magic the Enochian language was codified and extraneous ritual and trappings where mostly removed. newtonian. Sir Isaac Newton whilst most famous for his contributions to Physics wrote extensively on the occult as a truly gifted mathematician and being lucky enough unlike Dee to be gifted with the Sight himself he was able to witness the shapes that enochian magic created in the astral plane and developed the ability to shape these Schema using just his mind his research continued after his death with a small but powerful magical society training young males with the sight. the techniques where also studied across europe and america though less popular than other styles the potency and fast casting ability madde newtonian spell casting a highly popular style for combat sorcerers unfortunately this meant that the style was almost extinguished by the great war with the cream of british and continental magic destroying each other in mystic combat across france and belgium just as their non magical countrymen where doing with machine guns and artillery. the second world war would reduce the depleted numbers still further with the small number of new apprentices and the last of the old guard trying to hold back the tide of the Nazis Occult warmachine Computational Demonology Alan Turing is credited as the father of modern computing. his development of computational machines at bletchley park to counter Nazi cypher technology is credited with helping win the war. what is not publically known and is in fact kept extremely secret by all of the worlds major governments is that he also developed a new form of magic one significantly more potent that previous schools. computational demonology arose when Turing was asked to work on cracking the enigma variant used by the SS Hexen Wulf groups the occult warfare arm of the SS. due to the necessity of understanding the types of information being discussed Turing was introduced to the work of both Newton and Dee and his brilliant mind managed to unify and explain the process that they used to access magic was merely higher dimensional mathematics the structures described by newton and the language described by Dee where actually ways for the human mind to comprehend higher/lower dimensions and thus communicate with them. while it was very hard for a human mind to do this complex mathematical operation a computer could do it easily. thus computational demonology was born with the human mind protected from the negative effects of magic that damaged the minds and bodies of practitioners of the older styles. unfortunately computational demonology made it a little too easy to do magic and with moore's law in effect if anyone discovers the secret the amount of damage they can do has been doubling every 18 months since 1945. as it stands now any script kiddie with the right knowledge could summon a demon or turn some one to stone with a smart phone
