    Actually it's the other way around, only Solara's Costume and the uniforms of the Court of Dreams are amalgamations of the Mystic Force costumes[cape bodysuit and belt ]and the magic Girl Costume[tiara,earrings,Gloves,medallions,skirts,footwear[high heeled pumps & boots] ] Solaris knight would have the female version of the white Ranger Armor[Magimother]

  7. Villain Archetypes?

    Re: Villain Archetypes?

     

    Don't forget about the Manipulators- the masterminds behind every supervillian team or organization who'd weave their webs of deceit while thier minions would take thier lumps. Perfect examples:Wilson Fisk[The Kingpin],Annanias Topps[original NORMALS UNLEASHED},The Rose[amazing SpiderMan],MING the Merciless[Flash Gorden],Doctor DOOM[Fantasic Four] The Leader[incredible Hulk]Kruzitter[sAS] and many more too numerous to list here.

    Add to the mix the Sociopathic Villian: he kills an maims just for the fun of it

    Sabertooth comes to mind anyone likewise the Hobgoblin?

  9. CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See?

    Re: CHAMPIONS 6E -- What Do *You* Want To See?

     

    I would also make one further suggestion for "Chapter 4: The Champions" in 6e. If the book is running long, I would advocate omitting the stats for "The Champions" team and their HQ etc, as laid out in 5e.

     

    I say so in part because Steve's description of Chapter 5 in his first post seems to suggest that sample characters may also be discussed in that chapter as well.

     

    I also make this suggestion because I haven't ever been much interested in "The Champions" as characters. I have liked many of the Champions Universe enemies, dating all the way back to 2e. But "The Champions" themselves have always seemed a little uninspiring to me, again dating back 25 years to the days of Gargoyle, Giant, Marksman et al.... I even bought the "Champions Universe" book for both 4e and 5e and found myself rapidly skimming over anything related to the heroes. But that may be just me.

     

    Oh: in response to another post directly above, I think that "The Elementals" may have seemed more incoherent than it really was because of its notoriously erratic publishing schedule (exacerbated by the sequential failure of multiple publishers). I loved that series, too.

     

    As much as I would like to aggree on that point, I may have to disaggree with you. Ok True the current lineup may not be awe inspiring to you, but is'nt the point of having an example superteam more of a test run that you can modify to your campaign? You can create a superteam by adding or modifying the following PCS: IRONCLAD,SAPHIRE,NIGHTHAWK[a BATMAN copy]DEFENDER,WITCHCRAFT. YOU just might add the following PCs to the team in your campaign:

    SEEKER[sHUGOSHIN]

    OBsidian

    BEHEMOTH

    SOLITAIRE

    QUANTUM

    I have a few ideas running through my brain. How's this' date=' a 14-year old girl finds an old amulet. When she activates it, she's transformed into a female medieval knight who appears to be in her 20s.[/quote']

     

    PERFECTE!!! Work up the concept and post it here and Storycrafter!

    Optional Hero archetype: The Crazy Hero.

    The Crazy Hero can be any archetype you can create with the specific Disadvantage Insanity.

    This guy is unusually hyper and is quick to jump into a battle with both feet running,he's a combo of RAMBO,DAFFY DUCK,PEE WEE HERMAN and a stand comic on speed. This type can make you Champions game interesting as the the types of crazies exist in comics: Cases in point DC's The CREEPER and BROTHER POWER ,THE GEEK, Marvel's MADCAP,and don't forget our lovable loony Foxbat. Is it Possible to include A'Crazy Hero 'Archetype in the CHAMPIONS 6e book?:cool:

    Re: TEAM ALPHA PBP game

     

    Team Alpha is here

     

    http://www.storycrafter.com/index.php

     

    It's pretty easy to set up a character there. Though the copy and paste interface is a bit strange, but not hard to understand.

     

    There are a couple of questions I have about the campaign.

     

    1) How long have the characters know one another? Do we know each other's Secret ID? Do we pal around at school when not fighting crime?

     

    2) In the current scenario, are we fighting many robots (ie Mechanoids) or that scarey mega bot Mechanon? There does seem to be some confusion on that score.

     

    3) Do we all go to the same High School? If so, are we mainstreaming with non-powered kids? Also what is the name of our HS?

     

    In this order:

    A]A definite yes as most newbie heroes will be replacing inactive team members, therefore they'll hang around with other team mates.

     

    B]Maybe both, since Ol Mech-for Brains will probably create more mechanoids out of the machines in that sci lab.

    C]Yes YEs, and the name of the school is John Chapman High School

    Some times called"Appleseed high" after his Legendary nickname Johnny Appleseed.

    I mentioned in my StoryCrafter post that Mei-Ling/Tigra is "fleet of foot." I should state that that she's at track star speed' date=' not superspeed.[/quote']

     

    I've got the message in a big way.:cool:
