The Arc

Re: List of Middle Eastern Superheroes For what it's worth I've written a bunch Middle Eastern supers/villains for the Uberworld Universe. Currently we have two teams of each. There is Fatwa the villain team. http://www.uber-world.com/fatwa.htm and there is Five Pillars the heroic team. http://www.uber-world.com/fivepillars.htm

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week How about Le Prix or the Price? So long as the price is right, the victim doesn't stand a chance.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Hey I still have that drawing of Captain Canada, who looks a lot like Captain Camaroon. Hey I could do one for Captain Cape Verde (is Cape Verde a nation???)

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Maple Leaves. Oy Veh?

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week At one time I was working on a hockey themed Powered Armor character named True Blue, who was kind of based the Toronto Maples.)

Re: [Campaign] 'This Mutant Life' - An Uberworld Campaign Yeah there was another "Kids in the Hall" alumni in the movie. Doctor Mendulla. Don't remember the name of the actor though.

Re: [Campaign] 'This Mutant Life' - An Uberworld Campaign Mr. Boy is from the movie Sky High. He was the side kick to Commander. He was All American Boy, but after he became a teacher he was known as Mr. Boy. Mr. Boy taught "Hero Support".

Re: [Campaign] 'This Mutant Life' - An Uberworld Campaign You're going to allow teachers? Coool! There has to be a Mr. Boy character.

Re: Uberworld - Character and Art And here is his lovely wife, Pajaro de la Noche For the character sheet click the link below. http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/dawnstars/pajarodelanoche.htm Concept Energy Blaster / Martial Artist Hair Colour Black Nationality Spanish Eye Colour Brown Place of Birth Barcelona, Spain Height 1.7m Date of Birth April 28, 1974 Weight 50kg Background Maria was considered a national treasure by the Spanish people. She was a member of the National Opera Company, a true diva in her own right. She wasn’t even aware that she was an uber. It just seemed a little odd to the people who knew her that she was fearless in the dark. Especially one night when all the lights in the theater mysterious went out and everyone panicked except for Maria. It was during the second act of Carmen that Maria first met Flecha de Or. She was just about to sing an aria when a strangely dressed man with long fingers came rushing out on to the stage disrupting everything. It was Motte, and he wasn’t happy. The British villain started throwing people around looking for someone. That someone was Flecha de Or. An arrow flew out of the catwalks above the stage striking next to Motte’s foot. This seemed to enrage the villain, whose fingers stretched out and grabbed Maria around the throat. “Okay you bloody wanker,†hissed Motte, “I’ve got this lovely neck in me hands, and there ain’t nothin’ ya can do about it.†That was when the lights went out. Maria felt funny, she had never actively used her powers before, and in a way it was exciting. Motte tried tightening his fingers around Maria’s neck, but she was no longer there. Somehow she had freed herself from his grasp. This was something few people had ever been able to do; escaping from Motte’s crushing grip. Motte let out another curse as an arrow from Flecha de Or struck him in the chest knocking him down. While the arrow didn’t hurt (nothing hurt Motte), Motte felt weak all over. However, Motte wasn’t going to let that insult go unpunished. Standing up he let out a roar of anger only to have it turn in to scream as a burst of the energy slammed into him throwing him from the stage into the orchestra pit. There Motte struggled with the instruments and decided that discretion was the better part of valor and made his escape. As for Flecha de Or, he couldn’t have noticed. All he had were eyes for Maria. After that night the two started dating, and fighting crime together. Flecha de Or helped Maria design a costume and she took the code name: Pajaro de la Noche or Nightbird. For awhile the duo broke up when Flecha de Or became involved with the Brotherhood, but he eventually returned to Spain and to Maria. Flecha de Or proposed to her, and they were married in a big ceremony in Madrid. Attending the wedding were the members of the Brotherhood, Knightwatch, U-Force, Trinity and other European heroes. Sting acted at the maiden of honor, while Armstrong was the best man. The only bad spot during the wedding was when TITAN and the Empire tried to interrupt. However, with all the Ubers around the villains were beaten off. Personality Maria has known about her abilities but has never taken them seriously. Her career as a singer has always been more important to her. However, since she has met Flecha de Or that attitude has changed. No longer will she stand aside while bad people torment the innocent. Maria has gone so far as to create an alternate identity for herself as a private detective. Maria is deeply in love with Flecha de Or. For her he brings excitement into her otherwise routine life. There is little that she wouldn’t do for her husband, even sacrificing her life. Recently, she has thought about having children, but is having too much fun fighting crime alongside her husband to commit to raising a family. Quote “The night hides many things. Better watch your step.†Powers Pajaro de la Noche is an uber who is able to project darkness around her. Normally only she can see through her darkness. She can manipulate the darkness to form a variety of attacks, which take the shape of feathers or wings. Her darkness feathers are able to pierce the strongest of armor, while using her darkness talon Pajaro de la Noche encloses her foes into an impenetrable field of darkness. Defensively she can cause the darkness to deflect attacks away from herself. Through unknown means she can even fly. Her most unusual ability is to merge with the darkness becoming completely intangible. Appearance Pajaro de la Noche is an extremely attractive woman with sultry brown eyes, and the blackest hair that almost looks blue. She’s a dusky skinned woman, and for a costume she wears a long blue hooded cloak. She keeps the hood up to cast shadows over her face, even though she could use her abilities to hide her identity. Underneath her cloak, she wears a white leotard, with black fishnet nylons, and boots that match her cloak. When not in her Pajaro de la Noche guise Maria like to dress in fashionable skirts and tops.

Re: Uberworld - Character and Art To show everyone that I too am part of Uberworld I'm going to post two characters I've done (including the art). A duo from Spain. Flecha de Or and his wife Pajaro de la Noche. (Golden Arrow and Nightbird). Noah... For the Character sheet clink on the link. http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/dawnstars/flechadeor.htm Concept Weapon Master Hair Colour Red Nationality Spanish Eye Colour Brown Place of Birth Grenada, Spain Height 1.92m Date of Birth October 12, 1979 Weight 104kg Background Bernardo grew up idolizing Robin Hood and all the stories about the famous bandit of Sherwood Forest. This interest brought Bernardo into the field of competitive archery. Bernardo was later to become an engineer who designed bows for competition. It was during the finals of the European Nationals that Bernardo got his first taste of going up against an uber. And it almost proved to be his last. Bailey thought that the Nationals would a good place to rob, and he anticipated some perverse joy in flaunting his own physical superiority over a bunch of 'human weaklings'. Bernardo interrupted the young uber by trying to shoot the thief in the back. Unfortunately for all the power in Bernardo’s bow it wasn’t enough to penetrate Bailey’s shield. However, it did get Bailey’s attention. No matter how fast Bernardo ran, Bailey was even quicker. The two fought for awhile, and even though Bernardo was no match for the uber's strength he kept dodging the youth's strikes, until Europol showed up and captured Bailey. That day changed Bernardo. After the Nationals were over he returned to his home and set out to create a variety of trick arrows. The next time Bernardo ran into an uber he would be prepared. In addition to his trick arrows, Bernardo designed a costume for himself, and started fighting crime as Flecha de Or or Golden Arrow. During his career as a crime fighter, he met Pajaro De la Noche, and instantly fell in love with her. The two heroes were later married. Flecha de Or maintains a friendly relationship with the Brotherhood and even joined the team briefly in 2003, but keeps mainly to Spain. Personality Bernardo is a competitive man. He has no problem going up against ubers. The bigger the challenge to more excited Bernardo becomes. Bernardo desires to become the world's greatest archer, and always goes out of his way to make himself look good. Bernardo met his match in Pajaro De la Noche. He’s madly in love with his wife, and will go to great lengths to protect her; not that she needs much protecting. She can hold her own. The two have only been married a few years, but they’re very close. Quote “He aims, shoots and scores.†Powers Flecha de Or is a normal man in most respects. He’s quicker and more agile than the average person, but this is mostly due to intensive training. He has trained in hand to hand combat and can hold his own without his weapons. In a pinch he has been known to use his bow as a quarterstaff. Flecha de Or has a quiver full of exotic trick arrows from his armor piercing arrows to the extremely odd boxing glove arrow which can knock out an opponent with a single punch. In addition to his offensive arrows, he has a few that capture his opponents like his putty arrows or his net arrow. Also Flecha de Or can fire a line and swing over great distances on the line. Appearance Flecha de Or is a muscular man with brown eyes and red hair. He keeps a well groomed beard and mustache as well. For a costume Flecha de Or wears a skintight sleeveless yellow body armor that shows off his physique. On his forearms, he wears black arm guards. His trousers are yellow as well. His boots are black like his arm guards. Strapped to his back is his quiver of trick arrows. His trusty bow is usually in his right hand. To hide his identity Bernardo wears a mask that covers the upper part of his face. Lens in his mask make his eyes look white. When not fighting crime Bernardo likes to wear casual clothes.

Re: Uberworld - a new Champions PBEM Universe I too am a contributor for Uberworld. Not only have I written a bunch of the NPCs, I've done some of the artwork as well. I have high hopes for Uberworld. We tried to get a more worldly feel to Uberworld. There are teams (hero and villain) from all over the world. One of the areas I've contrituted was Cabala, Five Pillars, and Fatwa. Noah...

Re: Russian Superheroes - Ideas and Comment Needed for 'Russian Dawn' game openings As the GM of Russian Dawn, I got a good selection on archetypes. A Mentalist A Mystic (that one was unexpected) A Metamorph (al la Ursa Major) A Powered Armor (al la Crimson Dynamo) A Energy Blaster A Duplicator A nice group, IMHO... I've always thought characters with foriegn names were interesting. Possibly on of the reasons I decided to create Russian Dawn. But since this thread is about ideas...Here are some of mine from my paper campaign. Das Professor-East German Gadgeteer Chromedome-Polish speedster who could run really fast due to plate put in his head. Cossack-A Ukrainain who was exposed to radition, and now gets stronger when he's hit. Pitchblende-A Czech who became "living radiation" after a mining accident Siege-An Albanian engineer who's arms were crushed, now has cybernetic implants in her arms that allow her to punch through almost anything (ie. a variable advantage on strength). Z'ima-which is Russian for winter, an energy blaster with ice and cold powers. Prachvost-which is Russian for blackguard, which screamed black ice to me, so he would have power similar to Zi'ma.
