Why not a whole comis line?

Any Champions Universe-based comics might be really cool. There are a million stories in the naked - er, the CU, and plenty of fine characters who could carry a story. I don't expect it anytime soon, and if it came to a choice of where DoJ was focussing their energies, I'd prefer they stick with games.

 

Along that line: does anyone have a particular CU character or group that they'd like to see featured? For my part, although I'm not sure whether he'll be part of the new universe (Aargh! Jim Shooter flashback!), I've always wanted to see a title featuring Nuada of the Silver Hand, from the Kingdom of Champions sourcebook. I love mythic tie-ins and tragic characters, and Nuada had both going for him.

 

Anyone else have a preference?

Why not try a whole comics line based on 4th Ed,Fuzion and 5th ed versions of the Champions universe like DC used to do before they created Crisis On Infinite Earths. You could have books based on all the game lines and characters.

They already have a forum it's called "player finder".

And I've already tried it for a FTF rpg and nobody's biting on the old board.But if you want to, just turn to the main forum index and sc roll down untill you find "player Finder."

Other Student teams

In CHS, there are many student teams thoruhout the program, not just Team Alpha. There are many villian teams as well as hero teams in the many schools here are a few:

BAD ATTITUDE: A street gang of losers who were recruited by VIPER and given super powers to become thier answer to Team Alpha but had broken away to try to dominate CHS, becoming the HOT SHOTS' thorn in the side.

TEEN CHAMPIONS : The Millennium City version of Team Alpha this team numbered among their roster,Mighty Girl,Sonique,Luminator,Solitaire,Quantum and Seeker.

Darkstalker is a reserve member and helps out whenever he can.

MAINIAX: a collection of crazies from Telieos's geno vault who escaped with Dreamstar's help inhabit the school's basement and city sewer system. They flucuate between hero and villian,making for a interesting delimma for the PCs.

THE VIOLATORS: Another Teen Villian group created this time

By the Circle of the Scarlet Moon oin an effort to capture Dreamstar,Enchantara, Witchcraft,and Solitaire. This team uses dark magic which sometimes go way out of control,prompting the mystic members of CHS to pull thier collective fat out of the fire.

More teams can be formed depending on what you can create from this campaign.

new Teen Heroes

Originally posted by Steve Long

Definitely some future development planned. At some point I'd like to do a Teen Champions subgenre book -- though it would probably be a fairly short tome. It would cover the Ravenswood Academy kids, some independent teen heroes like Sai and Hydro, and of course some rival super-kids that go to a school run by a villain or something. And of course there'd be some other enemies; I had an interesting idea recently for an as-yet unnamed group of superteens that'd all be grown by Teleios for his own nefarious purposes.

say Steve, If you want some background for any independant Teen Hero campaigns for your book look no further than Champions High school,which BTW is still in the playtest stage in two versions,4th ed and FreD in yahoo groups. Why not visit them sometime? the URLs are:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/championshighschoolpt2

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ultimate_ChampionsHighSchool

there are other groups including a fuzion version which is inactive.

I read one along the lines you are talking once, I'll have to do some serious digging (if I even still have it).

 

The problem is the whole thing was more of a "spoof" of current super hero's. The premise was:

 

The hero's secret identity was a TV new reporter.

He flew by thinking 'happy thoughts"

His home planet was called "Cronk"

The radioactive substance that drained his powers was called "Cronkite." (Get it, Walter Cronkite?)

Over the decades, the bad guys had been putting tiny amounts of Cronkite in everything, bricks, cement, glass, etc. so when the super hero when to resume his career, his powers were significantly reduced.

That Would be "SUPER PEOPLE" and it included some out anout spoofing of the most popular heroes like:

Indigo[sUPERMAN}

Captian Mantra[Captain Marvel]

Mary Mantra{Mary Marvel,she was shown in flashbacks]

Demoniac{captain Marvel Jr,Mary and cap's illegitimate son]

it also contains mentions of the popular heroes like Wonder woman giving up her crime fighting for women's empowerment,

Snoopy still persuing the Red Baron[never got him by the way].

all in all you'd get a total laugh out of it.

more Teen hero Concepts

Just to whet yor appitite here's some more Teen hero concepts enjoy!

Darkstalker[Damon Salvatore`] Vampire of the first class,canchange into a raven or a rat or a wolf depending on his mood[note carefully;supernatural metamorph] In the renesscance era both he and his twin brother Stephan were seduced by a vampiress over whom each had thought was in love with them,only to be tricked when they killed each other in a tragic duel, only to be resurructed years later as vampires. Damon had made his way towards Med City where he saved a little girls life,and she gave him a serum as a gift. This potion transformed him from a true Vampire into a dhampere,a vampire Human hybrid,existing in the daylight as well as the night.

Neon, The Living Laser: after being kidnapped by ATLAS[or the IHA,your choice], Mike Davison was subjected to the radiation of a extradimensional power source called the

Q'rrymm Effect giving him super powers like the ability to absorb energy,fire energy blasts and transform into many energy forms. as the leader of Team Alpha he's the glue that keeps the team together.

Visionary: an Alien princess from the faraway Empire Galax, she was sent to the moon to observe the curious phenomenon that is the super being on earth. Found by the Living Laser during a routine space mission with Victory, they fell in love and throughout many missions [during which she joined CHS] they were married on planet and off in the early 80s,staying on after graduation as the facilty of CHS in MED City.

TouchDown[brick/metamorph]: Former football tackle Harley Mason was kidnapped the same way as Mike and four other kids,but in his case he grew about twenty feet tall and became denser as a block of titanium alloy. that ability plus his football skills enable him to blast through a platoon of ATLAS soldiers,thus saving his buddies. He later regestered in the CHS program as TOUCHDOWN, working with NEON,SPRINT and TURNABOUT, until the early 70's when they all graduated as heroes.

Teen hero concepts

Guys and gals,

I'm presenting to you the teen heroes of CHS as concepts and ideas via their origins.

Prince Saga the Tommorrow Teen

Illigitimate son of the 2nd SAGA the Tommorrow Man,Ian Creighton was experimented on by the CIA in a effort to gain a controllable version of thier All American hero. But the experiment went wrong and he gained stroner powers than his father,prompting him to run away and meet up with SAGA.

after an altercation he was assigned to the US gov Task force when he was recruited for CHS,much to the consternation of the CIA. He posesses superspeed,invulnerability,vision powers[X-ray,Telescopic,Microscopic,Heat,laser],superstrength,flight,

and more as he grow older. because he was trained by the CIA and PRIMUS,he has been placed in the junior rank,making him the oldest of the student heroes.

[superBoy, Kid Supreme]

POWER PRINCESS : the fifth successor to the amazon legacy,she was a street orphan who was chosen above all others to be the successor to the latest POWERQUEEN.

posessing super strength, invulnerability and speed, she's training to be the best that she can be.[WonderGirl/Troia]

ROKK & ROLL ;brother and sister, the children of Sprint and Touchdown[former members of Team alpha]

Rokk's the ultimate Immovable object,smashing through obsticles like a freight train on steroids,he can also grow to 50ft tall enough to dwarf a small building or a skycraper.[Giant Man/Juggernaut]

Roll's the Irresistable force,moving at speeds up to mach8 and more depending on the situation,moving up and down buildings,causing sonic booms with a snap of her fingers and vibrate through walls with a speed bordering on the legendary.[Flash/Quicksilver]

Liona,the SHE CAT

once a nerdy student who studies felines, Liona Henderson litterally became one when she helped out some alien felenoids repair their ship and save one of their crew. in gratitude they genetically remade her into a literal catwoman

with feline senses,lionine strength,acrobatic abilities and a feral berserker rage making her a deadly fighting machine.

[Tigra/Wolverine]

Do better than that, join the group create your Pc then post it in the main group or send it via email to moi.

check my profile and you might find my email addy.

Anime adaptations

While you're at it why don't you add characters like LUPIN III

and Gatchaman to the site? or add even Gigantor and 8-Man to the mix?

Possible Canidate for Liberty!

OK boys and girls We have a possible canidate for our resident Platinum Patriot, Liberty.

Do we have any more takers or lurkers with their opinions? come on Speak out or forever hold your peace.

Just a idea to bounce off you guys: Guardians of Order has created a anime RPG name Big Eyes,Small Mouth with all sorts of genres including:Historical adventures

The supernatural

Kids adventure

Sentai[superteam] adventures

[Gatchaman,Power Rangers]

Magical Girl shojo[sailor Moon]

Romance

Shonen adventure

International[Lupin III}

Giant Mecha[Gundam series]

Fantasy[Rayearth]

and more taht you can dream up.

Since you guys have some in development why don't you create an anime genre book for HERO that's compatable with

Champions,STAR HERO, Fantasy HERO Ninja HERO ETC.?

It would be a cool idea to create your own anime game series with the HERO system. So what do you think?

New power groups

[/img]

How about creating some power groups,ala GURPS?

put together some powers in a specific group along with some advantages and limitations and power effects along with a specific EC . put em together and ZOWIE! instant character .All you have to do is add stats and you're good to go!

How about both versions?

Hey dude! How about both versions can be served by the same character generator? Hopefully you can add your own names and create your origin stories.

Plu why don't you have a stat converter so that you can switch between 4th and 5th eds without raising a sweat or having a lot of headaches.What's more: you can add pictures from the HeroMachine website so that everybody will know what your PC looks like.

Hope these sugguestions help, good luck recreating your generator.

Oh Thank you thankyou thankyou!

my topic is finally on the board!! Thanks Hero and AhDuval for the replies to the topic. How about the rest of you what's your take on UCHS? I'd like to know.

Hey Dudes!

What am I Talking to myself? Give me some posts for crying out loud. this is the same page from the temp boards that was terminated as this new board was made. so Give me your opinions already make some noise, tell me at least that you're reading my topic.

Ultimate CHS house Rules

I guess I forgot to put down some of the rules and the background for my campaign so here goes: In CHS your PC is either a hero in training who's learning how tro handle his powers while dealing with the baggage that comes with being a teen[or Preteen], or a graduate hero testing the waters of heroism for the first time in the campaign city,while dealing with the hassles of firstime adult life[college,marrage,etc.]. The campiagn is of the TEENHERO genre,but has elements of drama,romance and comedy in it.

All starting PCs have the option of starting as a trainee or a grad hero[or villian,] and must start their char points at the legendary ratings and work up to superhuman. Thus the point totals as freshmen must start at 150-199pts. Preteen heroes must start with lower point totals set at the "skilled " range

Use the Quick Superhuman generator in the Champions book and the templates from FRED to create your teen heroes,keep also in mind that teen heroes can have uncontrolled powers or you can vary your hero's powers acording to his rank shown below:

Preteen:79-96pts

Freshman:110-150pts

Sophmore:150-199pts

Junior:199-279pts

Senior:299-499pts

Graduate:499-500+pts

Superhero:500+pts

All teen heroes must also form student teams in order to work together and spend points on equipment and headquarters that will be provided by the GM[That's me].

That means that you'll have some comedy along with drama[will Dreamstar ever grow up mentally and find her prince or will she deal with some frogs? AsIF!} and a lot of adventure and action[Can the kids outrace the ragining storm that is tearing the island apart? Or will some miracle save them all in the nick of time?} so log in and give me your opinions. good luck.
