Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... As Tim said..... and well to be honest, we did not shoot her.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Witchhunter again: Anne-Ellen (Who is still slightly naive and a professional freelance Entertainer ) is send to recruit a new member for the group whom she has already seen in her dreams. They meet at a dock where both Characters are mysteriously drawn to. Enter: Rene Deveraux mild mannered Scholar ( and Hermetic Wizard)..... Anne-Ellen (quite loudly): You ! I have seen you in my dreams........ Rene (Who had similiar dreams, and recognized her): Madame, please.....(whispering) Not here! Listening Sailors and Fishermen: Anne-Ellen: But I have seen you really! In my Dreams! Rene slowly backing away: In your dreams mademoiselle sure..... Anne-Ellen: But I really ...... Rene turns around and walks away. The Witchhunters finally asemble and start talking, introducing each other: Anne-Ellen: You might call me by my nome de guerre: Asmodee..... Every Witchhunter in the room: :bmk::bmk: (She survived.)

(Common; Strong) DISADVANTAGES Points: 75 Base Pts: 100 Exp Required: 0 Total Exp Available: 0 Exp Unspent: 0 Total Character Cost: 175 Background/History Maria Corelli ne Poggiali was born 1979 in Borgio Maggiore (a muncipalitie of San Marino).^^Nothing implicated that she was born with a latent mutation. She had the usual backround for a girl from the mountains. She worked in the adriatic resort Hotels during the Summer and lived with her family during the Winter.^^In 1999 a Quake hit the Area she was living at and Marias power manifested. Maria worked like a maniac to help until local forces came to her relief.^^It was by later consensus decided that her powers were a miracle granted by San Martino, the local patron saint, a stonemason. (A scientific examination proofed her mutant status, but the locals disregard this.)^^Maria tried to continue living as before but her public exposure during her rescue work made that virtually imposible.^^Maria lived nearly as a Hermit for a year, until she met her future Husband Carlo Corelli the owner of a local quarry while hiking. Carlo wanted to hire Maria at the beginning only for her powers but the two fell gradually in love and married after a year long stormy relationship. Personality/Motivation Maria is very temperamental, but not convinced that her powers make her special. She is trying to live a normal live, but will do what she deems necessary. Maria is not overtly thrilled with the decission of her Countrymen that her powers are a divine blessing, but she remains a devout catholic. Quote Hang on I am comming to help you ! Powers/Tactics Maria is very strong and has some sort of power over earth and stone, that might one day be developed in some sort of Earth-Powers. She mostly relies on her strength and toughness.^^Maria was never really in a superfight.^^She does a lot of rescue work. Campaign Use Maria is a low powered brick. She is mostly made to show that not everybody with powers wants to dress colorfully and knock over banks or save the world. Appearance A tiny italian woman, with black hair and warm brown eyes. When doing rescue work she wears a stout white overall with the Red Cross symbol.^^Privately she wears nice trendy clothes.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Yes but how did you get it to work ? Anyway: Here is her backround: Maria Corelli ne Poggiali was born 1979 in Borgio Maggiore (a muncipalitie of San Marino). Nothing implicated that she was born with a latent mutation. She had the usual backround for a girl from the mountains. She worked in the adriatic resort Hotels during the Summer and lived with her family during the Winter. In 1999 a Quake hit the Area she was living at and Marias power manifested. Maria worked like a maniac to help until local forces came to her relief. It was by later consensus decided that her powers were a miracle granted by San Martino, the local patron saint, a stonemason. (A scientific examination proofed her mutant status, but the locals disregard this.) Maria tried to continue living as before but her public exposure during her rescue work made that virtually imposible. Maria lived nearly as a Hermit for a year, until she met her future Husband Carlo Corelli the owner of a local quarry while hiking. Carlo wanted to hire Maria at the beginning only for her powers but the two fell gradually in love and married after a year long stormy relationship. Personality Maria is very temperamental, but not convinced that her powers make her special. She is trying to live a normal live, but will do what she deems necessary.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Ja. You have to join. Which I will not.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week So. How is this ?

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Hrmph. I hate to admit this. I can not make it work. Care to tell me how to do this ?

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week Maria Corelli in HDC Is there a way to download your prefered Sheet ?

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week No reason to be jealous. Vacationing in Italy is as natural to a german as vacationing in Florida to a American (suposedly). A Brick from San Marino ? Thats very fitting. It is their main Export. A female brick it shall be.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week San Marino ? Hmmmm Was there several times. It is pretty hard to distinguish from the rest of Italy. Sure. Whats required ? I think a Weaponsmaster would be approbiate. They have a certain Knightly/Renaisance tradition.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week I was already inhaling to ask......about Colombo and Columbia. Hallo, good to see you back. Do you have some country that needs covering ? I am in a character making mood.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Playing Witchhunter: We had a grizzeled old german Merc called the "Magdeburger" and his "Daughter" a french freelance "Entertainer" Anne Ellen, who might be slightly naive....... We were hunting after a Demon and got a list of all it´s nasty traits, among them:" He made women paint their faces and......" The Magdeburger: "Daughter" don´t you dare to ask for make up tips!

Re: VIPER martial art? There is also the so called Viper Brawling for standard Agents.

Re: Mutants and Masterminds: Iron Age Opinions? Nothing really unique in it.

Re: Adventure Ideas For The Late 80s And The Berlin Wall The Border had been officially opened a couple of weeks before that. It is relative unlikely that somebody could have moved to the states fast enough to learn english and been intducted (sp?) into High School live deep enough to get a bunch of Teen´s to help him. Of course there is always the possibility that his/hers part of the family had fled the DDR, but why go to the USof A if the BRD is way closer? Sorry pretty unrealistic, even for comics.

Re: Thrilling Hero Adventures PDF In Store Looks into wallet. :cry::cry::cry: Bites down and starts survival plan. Maybe eating lawnornaments ?

Re: FarPsyte Not enough END, SPD and maybe a bit more DEX.

Re: History question It seems like their Copyright belongs to the Comic Francise now. (Marksman, Flare and Giant´s) Hence they are no longer mentioned. Oh Solitaire is still around these Days ( I think). She just changed her name into Witchcraft.

Re: WWYCD: "Dear Superhero" (Warning: Ugly situation) A nasty situation. Congratulation.

Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? There was a Character Named Razorback. He featured in a Comic Book that sounded similiar to that Peter Porker - Stuff. (Aside of the name he had not much to do with a Razorback. Especially Powerwise...)

Re: Destroyers Rewrite?? There is no Iron in that Ronins name. He has slightly boosted Attributes a KA (Sword), a Jiu Jutsu Package, some Armor (OIF) and a lot of resistance to mental attacks. Nothing really fancy, expect that he is what you want to throw at a overconfident Mentalist:D.......

Re: Destroyers Rewrite?? For the Samurai Suit there are two possibilities one is a member of the Supervillain Team in Ninja Hero (which I do not have at the moment, so I can not check the Illoustrator.) and whose Name I forgot, think it was Yusu or such. The second one, the more likely one, would be Ronin from Enemies for hire. The Interior Pics are by Fredd Gorham. So that seems to be your guy.

Re: About PRIMUS There is a E-Book about Primus (a bit dated now) and several Articles in Digital Hero. (Worth every buck in both cases...)

Re: Obscure Elemental Villains That was my first guess too. But there was also a Group in some Australian Game Magazine a couple of years back. I can not remember if they were all Weather powered, but at least one member had Weather Powers (IIRC).

Re: The Death Of Vinnie The Viceroy Depends on my character. Several would file it under: Interesting, bears investigation...... I GM to much.
