The Feloneous Four!

Screwed up.

Re: Silverwing Very nice! I like the shield alot.

She is, indeed. I might write her up too. to keep the couple together.

Re: Captain America wow, I guess I forgot that the old program doesn't always adjust for the increase in figured characteristics. His rec and end should be 12 and 60 respectively. My bad...

This is a reworked version of Jabberrock from Enemies III. By reworked, I mean completely different, sort of.

After a number of years of failure; he took his girlfriend, Spectra, and travelled to Tibet. Managing to avoid confrontations with the Tiger Squad, Ben began searching for himself. It was during this time that he began to develop his own style of Kung Fu; dubbing it Stone Dragon Style. The meditation, training, and self discovery led to a startling transformation; one day he found a portion of his stone flesh had chipped off! After three months it had crumbled off; leaving a smoother, polished granite like surface. The shedding of his old form did more than just make him look a little more human, he now was faster, and stronger than ever! His eyes still danced with flames and he could still start small fires, but he was now a far more effective martial artist. Taking the name Stone and finding his desire to be a master villain renewed, Benjamin and Spectra returned to the US to further their criminal careers. Motivation: Stone has many motivations: he wants to be one of the preimminant martial artists of his era, a feared criminal mastermind, a devoted husband to Spectra, spread his style to worthy students, and achieve spiritual perfection. He realizes that his criminal goals interfere with his spiritual ones but he feels that he needs to prove himself superior before achieving perfection. Quote: "You will find that the Stone Dragon's teeth are quite sharp, mortal. " Appearance: A sturdy built man of above average height with dark, stone like skin and eyes of flame. He is bald but his eyebrows seem to be made of fire. He wears brown robes and no shoes.

That's what I figured. You hadn't really singled out any of my changes after all...I was just saving some space.

I forgot these guys I forgot about the Technarchy. These fellows are brilliant scientists that are working with a number of powerful nations to put a cap on the level of technology the world employs. Basically, they believe that they are the one's who should control the flow of advancement. They target heroes, villains and normals alike. They work in the shadows so much so that very few people even know of their existance. The main council consisted of Time Master, Beamline, and a few other home made villains. Dr Destroyer never noticed them since he didn't ever really try to market his technology, but they served as the main reason that all those supertech guys never brought about flying cars and such and that only a few nations had highly advanced agents.

*snipped the critiques of Binder * I like it! I hadn't thought of gumming up the works! I was thinking about an anti-entangle, hadn't liked any of the ideas I had for it yet...

good point. I think that everyone in the suikoden world tends to know who everyone else is, especially the more powerful armies.

Wow. These are great ideas. I like the sensory imput and the attack based entangles! Very cool. Here is what I have done to him Its about 75 pts of improvement...

One of the things I like about RPG's over comics, characters grow in RPG's in a steadier, more believable rate. Comics thend to fall back to the status quo after a few months or years, change is rare and often shortlived. Champiuons creates a living, breathing world that moves on with time. Now I am asking for a little help with the evolution of a villain team. The Ultimates are one of my guilty pleasures. I like them. However, I was not as pleased with the "Ultimate Mastermind" vision of the future for binder. Keeping in tune with his current powers what abilities would you give Binder as he gains experience? Clingning makes sense, perhaps a counter solvent to make escapes easier, some more/better Martial Arts maneuvers, but what else? Heck what would you do to any of them?

ALthough I never really minded it too much. I have heard many say that Mystic Masters was the worst thing they had ever seen. Admittedly, some of Albert's early art rubbed me the wrong way. I feel he has improved alot. The actual material was alright, but not great.

How about a truely frustrated movie critic who goes insane because "Critics are like Enuchs, they know how to do it, see it done every day, but cannot do it themselves." His success as a popular telvision movie critic is balanced by his abject failure as a film maker. He has gone insane and treats the world like a movie he is in charge of. He'd be great with mind control abilities so he could "Direct" the actors in ''his" movie.

Cool. I also thought of doing this. I had a nice little write up for the Knights of Alexandria, broken into two groups the Order of Jupiter and the Order of Minerva. I loved IX's fantasy elements. I am going to work out a Suikoden Hero. I have the beginnings of ideas and most seem to work in Hero terms. I am waiting for Fantasy Hero to come out to see what they offer to help in my creation... BTW, you got Chocobos?

One thing that I am looking into now that I have over 2000+ Characters in HD (ported over from Creation Workshop) I noticed that some of the redundant characters have been removed from the CU (Whiteflame, Charger, Giganto) and was wondering if there was any opinion of just how many X type characters should there be. What heroes and villains have felt the pinch of redundancy reduction in your games? If you don't use the "Champions Universe" villainy this wouldn't really apply.

Okay, I dunno how many of you have played these games but I love them and the third in the series gave me some more ammo for HERO ideas. Magic apparently has two forms. Sorcery and Rune Use. Sorcery is, by all appearances at this time limited to Summoning and Teleport spells. most offensive and defensive magics are based on Runes. Its pretty easy to set up runes. they are Multipowers with 4 slots and Charges, and they are Foci. You can Buy or sell them. The thing is the better "mage" (ie Level) you are the charges you get and the more slots you can use. Runes apparently are divied up into three groups, Lesser, Greater, and True. True Runes are plot devices that grant, among other things, eternal youth to the bearer. They are also unlike the Greater and Lesser Runes in that they can only be removed by choice of the wearer or hooptie magic (ie GM Fiat) and either method generally kills the True Rune Bearer. There are also runes that give special abilities to weapons, and non-spell abilities to characters. Example: Boar Rune +6DC's (KA or HA), Extra Phase, 2xEnd, Side Effects (-3 OCV/DCV) (6END)OIF Boar Rune (30 active points/12 Real Points) 0 (bought as equipment The desired efffect being that the barer of the Boar Rune can supe up his attack at the cost of combat ability for the next phase. non mage characters can wear up to 3 runes on their person. (Mages can have 6). Talents: Armor Skill (Combat Luck) 6/L Mage (2x Number of Runes Allowed) 5 Pts Any comments, questions? Should I be quarantined until the fever dies?

What about Knighthood? that's also a sticking point. 5 pts for being knighted 2 KS: Codes & Traditions 3 High Society 3 Riding 1 TF: Riding beast of choice 1 WF: Lances 2 WF Common Melee 2 WF Common Missile anything else?

Okay, I am trying to make a world based on the video game triligy Suikoden. Hero system is probably the best way to do this as the magic system, "castle building", and skills elements all can be fairly easily done in hero terms. that being said, I'd like some help making the various packages that mix and match to be the skills base for characters. so far the character types are: Archer Engineer (Steampunkish inventors) Hunter Knight >>Heavy Knight >>Regional Knight Mage Martial Artist Mercenary Ninja Ranger Rogue Sailor Strategist Warrior Wizard What kind of skills would you give a Strategist? This is what I have so far.

I still think they're nuts. I site you're character adaptions as a factor in my getting into Anime in the first place.

WHAT?!?! Are they nuts?!!?

our teams usually look something like a police academy movie. its sad really.

I like the legacy hero concept alot too. My current fave character is known as Bravestorm. His mother is the immortal embodiment of the United States of America. She has operated at one point or another along our history as Maiden America, Miss America, Americanna, etc. She has seven children and Keith is her youngest. Each of her children has been a costumed adventurer, although her two eldest turned villains. Bravestorm is a fairly typical "Original" archetype to use the Mutants and Masterminds vernacular. In addition to superhuman strength, speed, senses, flight and toughness, he can control weather in a local area or even merely generate lightning from his hands. He is one of the only scions of Americanna not to take a patriotic persona. He doesn't really get along with his siblings, even the heroic ones. He has a bunch of contacts and "DNPC's" who are as powerful as he is. He is hunted by his oldest brother, and sister (who work separately). He has an odd cynical idealism about him. He is more for what America stands for than the "My country right or worng" nationalism. I was inspired by the song "Fields of the Brave" on the new Styx album, but I couldn't figure out how to use the title in his name, he was originally just "Brave" but he doesn't really have a Native American Background. (BTW, he, his siblings, and his mother all share the same birthday, July 4th).

Here are the stats for Vulcan, the technophile of Dark Olympus. I mashed the following characters together, Dr Destroyer, Firewing, and Gigaton.
