Re: Thoughts on Solara

I now have HD3 on my computer and I started on Solara.

 

I came up with the idea of having Solara look like a geisha because I like the look. However, I'm reconsidering and will, probably, have her look like an 18 year old Sailor Mars, complete with Japanese features and accent.

Congrats Mark,good luck with creating Solara

Along with his friends he was experimented on by exposure to a peculiar radiation called the Q'rrym Effect which originally would have done one of two things;either twist his mind to evil while granting him super powers or turned him into an inhuman monster.

Due to a burst of extradimentsional radiation the merged with the Q'rrym energies it did empower him but amplified the positive side of his mind. bursting free of the restraints, he helped the Champions battle ATLAS,slamming Peacemonger into a wall of electronics,severely burning him and necitating the need to be rebuilt as a cyborg.

But there will be entries for characters andNPCs in the campaign as time progresses.

Re: Campaign History: CHU

So it's a Golden Age campaign about teenagers?

Actually No,I'm posting its history from the Golden through the modren age of the new CU.

Re: Thoughts on Solara

Got to get HD3. All I have is HD1.

don't worry it's only $25.00 in the online store.

This Thread is for promoting my CHU campaign,since you guys don't have the History or background,I thought I might give you both in the form of a HOMU entry Only in my case I call it the HISTORY OF THE CHAMPIONS HIGH UNIVERSE. It's the Champions Universe only with a few of my own bits added to it from 4thed and TNM versions.

And Now here it is [drumroll please]----------

THE HISTORY OF THE CHAMPIONS HIGH UNIVERSE

CHAMPIONS HIGH SCHOOL

LOCATION:MED CITY NC,NEWARKHAM NJ,WASHIGTON DC, BAY CITY CA,

VIBORA BAY LA,MILLENNIUM CITY MI,SAN ANGELOS CA

FALCULTY:EITHAN Creighton[aka SAGA],principal

Micheal Douglas Davison[aka NEON],vice principal/team coordinator

Demeter Regis[aka POWERQUEEN],school counselor/team organizer

Mason Kennedy[TECHKNIGHT] Shop teacher/Costume/armor design

Nikia Davison-Powers[MAGISTAR],Mystic studies

Jonathon Powers[DATASWIPE],Computer/PTO training

Teachers to be determined in campaign

STUDENT SUPERTEAMS

TEAM ALPHA[HOT SHOTS]

TEAM BETA[JUSTICE FORCE]

TEAM GAMMA[MEGA SEVEN]

TEAM DELTA [TEEN GUARD]

TEAM EPSILON[TEEN FREEDOM FORCE]

BACKGROUND: In the 1940's during the start of WWII,many mystery men had battled against axis tyrranny on the homefront and battle field. However with the appearence of SAGA the tommorrow Man and the Amazonian battler POWERQUEEN, new and younger heroes had made their debut in the homefront battling axis villians.Thier appearence had prompted the president[at the suguestion of certain Mystery men}

to create a special program tha will train the superhumans to take the place of the predecessor. Hence the program ,secretly called "Alpha" became the famous institution we came to know as Champions High school.

It's funding has endured throuhout WWII and the McCarthy era due to its successes inenhancing the Heroic legends of the Golden through the Bronze age of Heroics.

the program underwent through many changes with the introduction of modren technology and all new teammates,the most recent being the "Paradise Island " Incident in which many normal teens were transformed into mutants and paranormals and the events of 9\11 in which TEAM ALPHA was dispacthed to help the rescuers dig out the survivors of the towers' destruction.

Relations with other agencies

Supported by the superherocommunity,CHS is also on good realtions with both UNTIL and PRIMUS,

unfortunately VIPER hated CHS because of Team Alpha's interference of their many 'enterprises'

likewise PSI,the IHA,and DEMON had some unfavorable encounters with the famous teen superteam.

The Building:

CHS is based in many high schools that are fitted with special equipment and training facilities and are based in the campaign cities that are listed above. There are other CHS facilities that are still in the works.

Classes/courses:

PTO Training

Hero Support[sidekick]

Partnership Workshop

AI creation Basics

Acceleration Training

Danger Room Training

Coustume Design

Heroic History

Superheroic Gadget Design

Communication workshop

Advanced Acrobatics

Vehicle Design

HQ design

Criminology

Dance/Martial arts

Mad Science

Whlie registering each student will be teseted to determine the extent of his abilities and levels of power according to the origins that are filed in his or her biofile. These files will be upgraded for each time the young hero(ine) trains in the Dangeroom that is called the Arena.

CHS is based in many high schools in many cities among them are Med City NC, New Arkham NJ,Millennium City MI,Vibora Bay LA,San Angelos,San Francisco,Bay City & Los Angeles CA. Hidden within these high schools are special classes that offer students the cirriculum as shown above.

The duration of the school year of CH is 8 years as opposed to a regular school year for it is beleved that

that more time a hero needs to train the more detailed is his or her training,thus in graduation the neophyte hero or hero team is given a costume, codename,communication devices and plans for a headquarters to be built in the city of thier choice.

Re: Thoughts on Solara

She is a teen champions character who has just discovered her powers. I'm just trying to figure out the character's abilities before creating the character sheet.

 

Anyone have a magical girl template for Hero Designer?

Here's an idea: check out the Anime hero thread in the other genre section if it does'nt then use Dreamstar as a template for Solara.[better yet, enter Dreamy's CS into HD3 as a magical girl template].

Re: Thoughts on Solara

As it happens, Solara isn't the campaign focus. She's someone the heroes occasionally run into, and may try to get help from them, when she's fighting supernatural foes.

 

As far as an archenemy goes, she'll probably have one. I'm still working on that.

 

The universe itself is the "Black Widow revisited" thread at http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47208.

Well why don't U create two Versions of your PC:{a}A Dark Champions Version

and [b} a Teen Champions Version who has just discovered her powers.

Re: Thoughts on Solara

Solara's gonna need a whole lot of NPCs,an archenemy[preferably an ET emperor type like I'stava V'ahn] plus anTuxedo Masktype hero[ine] who appears in the nick of time whenever Tim gets in over his/her head.

Re: Thoughts on Solara

Cool.

 

Is there a copy of her character sheet, in any form, floating around here somewhere?

 

Edit: Found it. It's in the "A Different Kind of Supermage" thread.

Good Thing too because the disc witch contains her stats may be lost and I may have to find it.

Re: New Disad:POWER BY Association.

One more thing the power words lim that I mentioned can range from silly gibberish to exclaimations that you'll find in any comic book.

Just wnt to let you guys know in case there are some misunderstandings about the new Pscyh lims.

Re: New Disad:POWER BY Association.

I've got a character who believes all his powers come from a focus (when they don't).

 

You can build it as a PsychLim or a PhysLim. 6 of one...the points are the same.

So what kind of object wre we talking about? A childhood object/toy,

an old relic? be specific dude I wanna know. it's the objects that make a crazy hero.

Re: Thoughts on Solara

How she acts.

 

Solara is easily capable of acting like Isis (from the old Saturday morning television series Secrets of Isis) did. She simply prefers to act like a character from Sailor Moon because it makes her foes underestimate her.

Kinda like a certain princess of the Dreamzone when she has to hide her secret Id from the other kids and did'nt want to seem different from the other kids.

Re: The Legacy Champions Lives On!

Twenty-four years I have been playing Champions' date=' not [i']Hero[/i], Champions. Over the years I have taught the game to hundreds, not bragging, of people young and old. Last night, Hotshot, aka Archerette, became the newest hero of the Wild Hunt. On her first outing she responded to a simple break-in at the Wayne's Auto Parts located at famed Champions Corner. When she arrived she noted an idling car parked at the curb nearly in front of the building and a shattered plate glass window. Why would someone break into an Auto Parts place when there is a bank across the street? She figured less chance of alarms. So, she waits until the mook comes out of the shop through the shattered window and drops down to meet him.

Okay, punching him was a very bad idea considering all she managed was to knock him to his knees. From this position, the dastardly Viper Agent hit her twice with his VB-A4 "Jackhammer" Blaster Rifle. Very surprised, she found herself soaring across the street and narrowly missing the street light pole. This is about the point she realize that prehaps a ranged attack might be a better option than getting up close and personal.

Let's just say her Fire Bolt did far more to the agent than his blaster did to her. I believe he is still in a coma at SF General. While she didn't stick around for the cops, she did remove all of the agent's neat little Viper toys. Makes a father proud.

 

Next up, how to convince Archer Jr. that a 'droid is probably not the best type of hero to play to start with. Maybe I can recondition him once I get all of his Star Wars video games hidden. Yeah, right, I got a better chance of ripping off Dr. D then getting video games from a nine year old.

HEY ARCHER ! If you´re not too busy can you check out My CHS campaign in HC? I´ve had to revise it and am thinking about giving ULTIMATE CHS a reboot so to speak.

Re: New Disad:POWER BY Association.

When you say that these are psych lims' date=' you are saying that the reason for the powers only working at certain times is purely psychological and that the character can actually access the powers at any time if can he can overcome the psychological block. Is that really what you mean to say?[/quote']

 

Yes and No,

These lims are from a character creation section called "The Crazy hero"

HE can´t overcome the psychological block so to speak because he believes that his/her powers come from that association.

Most of thier abilites manifested while eating a particular food( POPEYE Syndrome) Out at night or the daytime(Daytime/Nightime Complex),holding a favored object(Magic Object syndrome) exposure to sunlight(Solar Syndrome),

or shouting some unfamilliar words ala Captian Marvel or Miracleman(Power Words) IF he´s convinced or shown that he has powers despite the limitation then he CAN overcome the block and buy it off, but old habits can die hard and he´ll be difficult to convince if his belief is very strong.

This may be an old article and an old idea but I've been purusing the books for ideas for new disads and I came upon some from Palladium Books' superhero RPG HEROES UNLIMITED, a assortment of new Pcyhological Limitations that can be linke with your PC's Origin.

It's Called Power by association and I'm gonna list some down below.

POPEYE Syndrome:Hero gains super powers by eating [he believes] a kind of food[Like POPEYE, ] digests the food and ZOWIE! Instant powerhouse.

Daylight syndrome: Believes that his powers come from daylight and that he'll lose his powers at night.

Nightime syndrome: Vice versa only the hero loses his by dawn.

Magic Words: Hero believes his power will activate by saying magic words,the more original the better.

POWER Objects Hero believes that his object gives him powers[an amulet,a stuffed toy,a baby blanket]

I know it sounds corny but think about it, some of the lesser known supers may have these origins or just the disads.

Here's the phantom's Challenge, create a PC with this Pcyh Lim in his disads

and include an origin story that details how he gained the disad along with his powers.

:cool:

Re: CHAMPIONS UNIVERSE II - What Do You Want To See?

Hey all! I'm jumping the gun on this one a bit, 'cause Steve's got a bunch of work to do before he can turn to his share of this book, but because I write so much slower I'm getting a head start on my half right now. So, here's what's almost certainly going to be in the book to save some time:

 

1. An update of the Champs Universe timeline taking us up through 2006.

 

2. Updated versions of the Champions, at the "veteran hero" power level. (Consider Kinetik's new writeup in Ultimate Speedster a "sneak peek.")

 

3. Updated versions of a small number of other existing characters, as we decide they're useful and interesting.

 

4. Writeups and histories for both of the CU's more veteran hero teams, the Sentinels and Justice Squadron.

 

5. A new hero team, a new organization, and a handful of new villains.

 

6. At least one and probably 2-3 extended mini-campaigns and scenarios, featuring several of the above.

 

So brainstorm away about what else you think would be neato to see! dw

How about a write up on the Fabulous Five and the DOJ in the 1970sthrough the 80s?

Not to mention a 5th ed version of :

CLOWN [Criminal League of Wacky Nonconformists]

Red Doom

The Circle

METE{Metropolitan Extra Terestrial Enclave]

A Book of the Dead section which includes Professer Meurte.

A write up on the Arcadian Academy {from C:TNM}

Re: from little plot seeds, mighty games do grow: Share you ideas!

Anyone still taking up challenges?

Okey dokey arty chokey how's this for starters

Another CHS adventure;

THE PIED UN-PIPER

In the fairy tale The Pied PIPER rid hamlin of rats. In Med city[or any campaign city that include a teen superteam], a teen gadgeteer named the Pied UnPiper rid the city of human rats[including supervillians in the campaign], but when he does'nt get paid, his unearthly music brings trouble for Dreamstar and the PCs by causing all sorts of problems. can the PCs save the city by calming down this musical misfit or will Med city fall into musical Chaos?

MY CLAIM TO FAME!!In her secret Identity Dreamstar is approached by Sapphire's agent who has heard her duet with the latino champion and wants to represent her in a new career: as a super teen idol/popstar! he offers her the usual perks: money ,fame,and adolation of millions plus a recording contract.

There's just one hitch,she has to consent to a image change from a Magic girl to a super sexy seductress to match Sapphire's image:in other words become a Saphire reflection.

Considering that she wants to keep her image intact will she do it or reject the agent's offer?
