Fair enough. Phoenix240 wins. Or should I try with a different image?

I'm willing to give it until Sunday.

Should I post a different image?

This is Bonny Hibiki, aka Bunny Love. Mostly a media personality, Bonny/Bunny is athletic, outgoing, a skilled acrobat and competent martial artist, and a genuine superhuman, possessing a most unusual power: Ai to teigi no ribon, or in English, the ribbon of love and justice. Bunny produces her ribbon when she needs it, and it can do anything a normal ribbon could, and more: it responds to her desires, moving as she wills, can be as long as needed ( the current record is several kilometres) and no known force can harm it. To the surprise of no one, Bunny is known to have a strong sense of justice, and a large number of friends with benefits, both male and female,

Lanternkeeper wins. Steelcold, please supply the next image.

Nur Al-din Ali is a fighting man from another world, where the society of al'Kitab alf Laylah wa Laylah (the Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night) is actuality, including ill-tempered sorcerors and vengeful Djinn. To lay with a wizard’s concubine is a dangerous thing, even with the wizard’s permission; he did not have that permission, and was forced to flee, along with that concubine. Yet his flight was overly headlong, and though he knew it not, he broke an ancient bottle that held a mighty Djinni, who was pleased to be free but very irritated at the loss of his home. As he begged for his life and that of his companion, the wizard caught up with the pair, and wrought a mighty charm to fling the faithless concubine and the betraying guest into a thousand other worlds. But the Djinni interfered, and so they were flung away, into a far different world. Something in the translation altered his armour and his weapons; they are seemingly indestructible, and the armour can at least blunt any strike, and the blades can cut, it seems, anything, at least slightly. Particularly hard, strong materials can only be scratched. Beyond this, he is simply a very capable fighting man; his goals are quite simple: find Anis al’Janis, the concubine with whom he lay and thus started this whole mess, and return them both home. It has not yet occurred to him that Anis might want to stay.

Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Pretty well all of my characters: Nothing. Marijuana growing is illegal, but frankly, they've far higher priorities than a weed patch. The criminal syndicates use grow-ops anyway.

Re: Turbo-Boost Energy Drink It's a reference to one of the PowerThirst Menergy Drink commercials. The parody ones.

Re: MordSith It's not covered in the books, but in the show, it's stated that a Confessor's power does nothing to one already confessed. Oh, and Cara holds both additive and subtractive magic in the books because she took the magic of (I think... ) a Sister of the Dark. Either way, the magic she "takes" is in some sense hers from then on. THis allows her to travel in the Sliph.

Re: The Incredible Shrinking Species Phoenix: "I've always wondered what it would be like to meet a real mad scientist. Now I know, and now you're going to jail. Easy or hard, your choice." Ika: After someone explain things to her in a way that a time-lost cave girl can understand, either she gets restrained or the doctor gets a knife in his heart. Ika predates the ideas that underlie things like "Code Against Killing."

Re: The Envelope Most of my characters would go. Since it doesn't say anything about "alone," they'd bring friends.

This is for a character like, say, a slightly inept sorceror, or a Green Lantern in training. They can do almost anything with a VPP, but if the skill roll to change the pool fails, the pool still changes, and something still happens, just not what was intended. Clearly this is some sort of limit on the control cost, but how much, and how would you summarize it on a character sheet?

Re: Seemingly Silly Things to Model Oops... You have an unfailing ability to do exactly the wrong thing whenever it really matters. Your spaceship desperately needs repairs, so you can reach the nearest station or outpost before you all starve to death? You'll give the mechanic the exact wrong thing, and the engine damage will be worse. A fancy ball is coming up? You'll take the dresses and suits to the cheap cleaner, the one with the well-deserved lousy reputation.

Re: Finding something Hero System can't model... Here's something I see no obvious way to model in Hero: Travelling from Wheel of Time. Travelling allows the channeler to go from here to there[i/] without traversing the space between. Teleportation, plain and simple. Except that travelling requires a detailed knowledge of here, but no knowledge at all of there, and there can be, in theory, another planet entirely. It's been shown that a travelling gate can reach from one side of a planet to the other.

Re: What would happen if Los Angeles County vanished? UCLA is gone. This is going to have a very profound effect on scientific and technological research world wide.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath In the beginning there was darkness, full and forever. And then there was light, and then there was life, and then the light of the Green Lantern. ANd then myself, to do it justice. Or: Where darkness rules, there rides the champion of light. Where despair crushes all, there shines hope's flames. Or: Now let our light shine forth before men, let our light forth shine, so that they might know some kindness again -- we all need help to feel fine!

Re: A 'realistic' supers world? One thing nobody ever seems to consider is that the sudden appearance of super-beings in an otherwise like-ours world will give the scientific community as a whole a case of the galloping never-get-overs. Let me take two examples from a PBEM I'm in: My character, and another PC. My character is a library science major with a minor in Physical Education. Once she gets them under control, she'll discover that she's on par with the earliest version of Superman: Lift multiple tons, leap roughly two hundred metres, run about 180 km/h, and bounce handgun rounds. Conceptually straightforward, but she doesn't eat nearly enough to supply the energy she exerts in her super-feats. So where does that energy come from? A lot of people are going to have persistent migraines over her. The other character is far, far worse: She can shrink down to a size of a few centimetres. She shrinks by a linear factor of sixteen, I'd say, and her mass drops accordingly. This one will *really* give the physicists nightmares. And chemists. And neurologists, and... well, you get the idea.

Re: Time running out on Marvel comics on DVD

Re: Re-Imaged Hero(ines) Test pilot Elizabeth Peters was thrilled: She was on the Daedelus Project, an experimental X-Prize team. Hundreds of hours in simulators, learning the EOS ship's handling, and now, she was finally in the real cockpit of the real plane, carried into the ionosphere by a giant balloon. As planned, the cradle released her, and she fired the engines to soar up, up, up... up past the point where wings were much more than decoration. And then, the down turn. And disaster. Against all odds, against all probability and reason, a micrometeor hit her fragile craft - and her fragile head, embedding itself in her right temporal lobe, seat of imagination. The ship went down, uncontrolled, for over fifty miles before she could even try to recover. But with no avionics, it was all for naught; she was just payload on an unguided missile. That was when it happened: A pulse of force ripped the plane to shreds, and a new plane appeared around her, a CF-18 Hornet, only where its insignia would have been, there were just patches of deep, glossy green with veins of white, not unlike BC jade. The plane lasted just long enough after landing to be photographed, and perhaps inevitably nicknamed the Green Hornet. Elizabeth has been the subject of intensive testing and careful examination, but so far, nobody has the faintest idea how or why the plane happened, or if it will ever appear again.

Re: Re-Imaged Hero(ines) I'd prefer a week limit, but I'm not picky.

Re: Re-Imaged Hero(ines) My apologies, this thread slipped my mind. But the winner, for both an interesting use of the name and for a quite creative group origin, is Nexus.
