Yeah, I was a freshman art student in 91. Not a spring chick by any stretch. But my art has stagnated over the years. I am trying to get back into it, but its slow going and I was never brilliant to begin with.

No guns.

Well, lets see. I never got a chance to try this but. A mastervillain (sorry for the same ol) with dreams of world conquest and the gift of immortality (so he would move very slowly) was up to Phase Epsilon of his plans for conquest, in it he decided to raise a loyal army of superbeings. Sending his agents out to steal newborns, he has a group of scientists brainstorm superpower genisis technologies (genetic manipulation, Cybernetcs, Nanotechnolgy, chemical/radiation experiments, arcane rituals, anthything) the agents stealing the children use a simple MO of being established doctors (mastervillain has a far flung network of agents) and they merely tell the parents that the baby died in childbirth. Babies records are kept by mastervillain and thousands are experimented on. fast forward a decade and a half. The PC's are part of his army. Born into servitude and raised for loyalty, the various methods of designing and creating metabeings has culled several dozen suitable candidates and the PC's are a training group that finds out their origins. Now this does require that the characters be at least somewhat rebelious to the cause at the beginning, then finding their true origins (he raises them to believe they are all orphans he has adopted and cared for) sends them over the edge. The campagn begins with the characters on the run from a secret army of superbeings, trying to find their parents and struggling to find a place for themselves in the universe. Also attempts at revealing the master villain are stymed by his massive network of agents.

Can I just say again how much I think your work has improved, Storn? Really, I had no problem with your earlier stuff, I think the first work of yours I saw was in Dark Campions, and this is miles ahead of it in terms of form and style. You give me hope crush my dreams at the same time; hope that I will indeed improve over time and crushed because you keep setting the bar so high /obsiquiousness off.

Thanks, not doing "union suits" (ie skintight superhero costumes) is hard. Me no likee.

It was on the hero update friday, Man oh man, that is cool!

I'd Cast my vote with the pay for each spell crowd. Save VPP for the Archmages. Not necessarily NPC's only, but wait until the point is reached that the character should be able to control the very fabric of magic itself. It works fine if you keep VPP's low or don't use them at all.

Ooh, I do have a more current one of Dunc. Let me get it... There!

and Duncan (bare in mind he's pretty young here)

Took much laboring tonight but I finished a sketch of my wife's character.

not at all, I have been looking at my "RPG" Hero (*that's a silly title) ideas and I probably will swipe liberally from your excellent work. Let me post my first character here too. Based on my wife.

To take the Knight of the Azure Shield package you need the Basic Knight Package. A side note: None of the talents or "Powers" are required for either package. They are optional.

Hmm, I have several alternate Earth's but the only one ever appering in an actual game was Marvel Earth. My character Powerman, got to go toe to to with (in this order); Thor, Hulk, Wonderman, Count Nefaria. He did better than I thought, but went 1 for 4 , only able to clock ol' Wonderman. He probably would have beaten the Hulk but some really unlucky early rolls, let ol' greenskin get angry and strong enought to counter Powerman's speed and agility advantage. Nefaria was just Powerman, only more so, and the battle was fairly one sided. I really wanted a rematch. I have written up my self or snagged write ups for CHaracters from Marvel, DC, Awesome, Wildstorm, V&V, Heroes Unlimited, Rock and Roll song titles, Consol RPG's, Comic Book Company Names, as well as two HERO universes. I always wanted to see a "last man standing" battle between Superman, Valor, Captain Marvel (Shazam), Hyperion, Thor, Gladiator, Powerman (my character), Count Nefaria, Supreme, Mr Majestic, Apollo, and Titan (from Darkhorse's Comic's Greatest World). Never got around to doing it though.

Good point, well, for necessities sake, I want them to be fairly middle of the road ideas. These characters are individuals and they tend to identify themselves as Americans first, then what ever else. Lets assume they all come from fairly middleclass backgrounds and have at least a highschool education.

Hey I was just wondering, we as a group here seem to be a bit down on the established companies (comics, gaming) for their handling of minority heroes. Here are four heroes chosen at random:D A Native American hero with growth powers. An African American hero with flight, electrical powers, and limited superhuman durability An Asian American hero with wind manipulation particularly whirlwinds and finally, a South American hero with a suite of nebulous "magic" abilities, at least including flight, Super human Strength and Durability, invisiblity, etc, heck he might be a DC Martian. anyway, what would you A) Name these characters, and what would their costumes look like. * * * PS: If there are any other "Random" :rolleyes:ethnic Heroes I might have missed from the Superfriends Cartoons, let me know.

Okay, lots of art, but I was non internet over the weekend and took the opporotunity to finally get my scanner set up. This is Omega. My digital painting skills are nascent at best. oops. too big. Lets see if you can see it at all

Short lived comic series called the Preternaturals. or Prets' for short

Looks pretty good. OT I was thinking of writing the whole group of player characters up from that game as a superteam. Shion was a technomancer "Open Ether Circuit!" Chaos was an "angel" Ziggy and KOS MOS I pretty much would keep as is. MOMO is a curious creation. An artificial Sorceress. JR is a 1000 year old "boy who ages one year for every hundred" (got the idea from Child of the first VIPER Book) or a clone of a long lost hero who was released "too soon", I hadn't decided. I'd probably put Virgil in the group and possible Allen as a support member.

That is beautiful. All I can say. Beautiful.

Very nice. Now, write em all up! And have Acroyer do Costume Design Forums on them. And hermit can make a poll and.... okay, getting ahead off myself here.

Well, that went badly. okay, here is my Heavy Knight Package. note: the Heavy Knight Package requires that you take the knight package first. This is a strudier version of the standard knights. They show up in the Suikiden Series all the time; examples include: Humphry, Leo, Fred, Georg Prime, Pesmurga, Lucca Blight, etc.. BTW it is easier to post it this way. Ignore the attributes and the fact that all the optional skills are paid for. ..... I can't find it to fix it. I'll have to rewrite it? Oh well...

Does make for fast advancement though.

Bring it out next week. That's what I want to see...

That was very cool. (The Archer) how about Sword magic? Are knights like Steiner?

Re: Re: Staring us right in the blackface I don't think the artists know what one looks like sans war paint. Really, I have tried thinking of someone who was indian without at least fring boots and a headband and I can't think of one. (Forge, maybe?)
