    The designated driver of the group and mechanic, Tony is not a speedster. His reaction times are faster and he can do remarkable things with vehicles especially cars and motorbikes. He can pilot planes and skipper boats but his real talent is with land vehicles. He is not invulnerable so wears protective clothing. He is a loyal soldier and serves also as the back up intel and surveillance guy as he blends in. His showboating is reserved for vehicles.

    VIPER Combat Art.
     
    This style of combat is based on ideals similar to both Commando Training and Dirty Infighting. Except that the gole is NOT to remove the target from the fight, but to make them suffer. There are no style disavantage for this style.
     
    The combat style is, like everything I did and reposted in this thread, for 5th edition, and may have to be modified for use in 6th edition and Champions Complete.
     
    Maneuver/ Phases /Points/OCV/DCV/Damage and Effect
     
    Adder Fang/ 1/2 /4/+1/+1/2d6 NND(1)
     
    Andaconda Wrap/ 1/2 /3/-1/-1/Grab Two Limbs, +10 STR for Holding On

    Akaimi Kenjutsu is just the opposite from the above style. It's main function is to kill the opponent and wash the battlefield with blood, falling like Crimson Rain (which is what Akaiami roughly means).
     
    Again, it was written up via 5th edition Ultimate Martial Artist, and may need modification to fit 6ed.
     
    Maneuver/ Phase /Points/+OCV/+DCV/Damage-Effect
     
    Akaimaiken/ 1/2 /5/+2/+2/Weapon +4DC Strike, Half Move Required
     
    Akaiamiken no Raiu/ 1/2 /4/+2/+2/Weapon Strike
     
    Akaiketskiken/ 1/2 /4/-1/-1/Sight Group Flash 4d6
     
    Akainbikariken/ 1/2 /4/+2/+0/Weapon +2DC Strike, Disable
     
    Akaitsunamiken/ 1/2 /5/+1/+0/Weapon +v/5 Strike, FMove
     
    Choakaitsunamiken/ 1/2 /5/+0/+0/Weapon +v/3 Strike, FMove, Take Half Damage
     
    Skills:
    Breakfall
    Fast Draw (Iajutsu)
    KS: Kenjutsu
    Lighting Reflexes
    Two-Weapon Fighting
    WF: Blades (required)
    WF: Off Hand (required)
     
    Optional Rules: Akaikeisuekiken is an attack which cuts the victims forehead lightly and allows blood to flow into the victims eyes. Gamewise, it gains a slight NND effect (solid head covering), but does not do body damage. The other attacks does a 2d6+1 location roll, except Akainabikariken, which automatically strikes arms or legs (and does no extra damage based on location), Akaitsunamiken and Choakaitsunamiken (3d6 location roll). By the way, Akaitsunamiken and Choakaitsunamiken are tge same maneuver, the only diffrence is that the user pumps his ki into the attack in an all out kill or die attack.
     
    Special Abilities: Limb Removal (Majot Transformation) and Blood Flick (sight group Flash) ate two powers associated with this art.

    First up is Ainoken Kenjutsu. Better known as the "Love Sword" style, it focuses on defense and light, not really damaging attacks. It is excusably used with the boken and shinai (which does normal damage, and in other schools are used to safely train to use the katana and wakizashi).
     
    Note: All maneuvers were created with The Ultimate Martial Artist 5ed, and may have to be tweaked to use them in a 6ed game.
     
    Maneuver/ Phase /Points/OCV/DCV/Damage-Effect
     
    Advance Ainoken Strike/ 1/2 /4/+0/+0/Weapon Strike
     
    Atemi Strike/ 1/2 /5/-2/+1/2d6NND(1) Strike
     
    Basic Ainoken Strike/ 1/2 /4/+2/+2/Weapon Strike
     
    Chambara Ken ("Blade Clash")/ 1/2 /5/+2/+0/Bind, +10STR to Bind
     
    Disarming By Hand Targeting/ 1/2 /5/+2/-1/Disarm, +10STR to Disarm Roll
     
    Love's Wall/ 1/2 /5/+2/+3/Block, Abort, Unbalancing
     
    Moving Love's Wall/ 1/2 /5/+1/+2/Block, Abort, FMove, Unbalancing
     
    Skills:
    Acrobatics
    Breakfall
    KS: Kenjutsu
    Paramedics (required)
     
    Elements:
    Weapion: Use Art With Clubs (+1 point, Use Art With Swords is free).
     
    Optional Rules: Atemi Strike automatically strikes the vitals area, but does no extra damage because of location. Disarming By Hand Targeting does exactly that, but does no lingering damage beyond enough pain to force the opponent to drop his weapon. All other attacks are a 2d6+1 location roll (unless he decides to target low, which then the roll becomes 2d6+7).
     
    Special Abilities: Experts at destroying objects. Use the "breaking things" Dispel on page 123 of The Ultimate Martial Artist book, except a focus is required.
     
    Ability to Drain Strength, Endurance, and/or Dexterity (and, if I was rewriting this for 6ed, OCV and DCV are fair game also). Coincides with the Drain power as shown on page 123 of The Ultimate Martial Artist book, but again, a focus is required.
     
    Finally, an Ainoken expert can paralyze his opponents without harming him by lightly taping certain presser points with his boken. This was written up as the following:
     
    Paralysis Strike: Entangle 2d6, 2 DEF, Takes No Damage From Attack (+1/2), Cannot Be Escaped With Teleportation (+1/4) (35 Active Points), No Range (-1/2) Cannot Form Barriers (-1/4), Susceptible (hitting the same points will free subject, can be found out by a KS: Chinese Healing roll: -1/2), OAF (boken: -1). Total Cost: 15 points.
     
    Of course, in 6ed, Cannot Form Barriers limitation does not exist (as it now is standard that Entangles cannot form barriers and if you want it to, take the Barrier power).
     
    This was meant to be a 'soft, less violent' counterpart to the next martial art, Akaimi Kenjustu.

    So, finishing off the quotes from Return of Muerte:
     
    One I forgot from earlier...  GM was talking about the vision where the heroes learned Muerte was restored to (un)life by Takofanes.
     
    Maker:  Taco-face?
    GM:  ... (head-desk)  No.  Takofanes.
     
    As the heroes free Libertador and prepare to assault the unknown facility to shut Muerte down, they feel a slight tremor in the ground.  Maker uses her flyer bot to take a look outside, and sees a plume of smoke as an ICBM streaks skyward.
     
    Maker:  Can my flyer bot chase after it and shoot it down?
    GM:  Maker's an astronaut, so she'll easily recognize an Atlas, basically the same thing that launched Mercury astronauts into space.  Your flyer bot has exactly 0 chance of catching up to that.
     
    Maker figures out she can gadgeteer a suborbital booster for own flight to allow her to catch up to the missile, plus a boosted clinging strong enough to attach to the Atlas.  After a brief discussion over whether to take anyone else along (other than Maker, only Shadowboxer has the necessary Life Support to survive the missile's suborbital phase, but he's one of the front-line fighters and will be needed against Muerte), Maker takes off alone after the missile. 
     
    Meanwhile the rest of the team heads over to the other island, where they figure (correctly) that they can get into that section of the base through the now-open silo.  Maker's player will be running Libertador during the assault while her regular character is chasing the ICBM.
     
    Maker:  What does he do?
    GM:  (hands her character sheet)  Basically, he's Peru's version of Captain America.
    Maker:  So I'm Captain Peru.
     
    They quickly dispatch the trio of Hands of Death waiting there while avoiding being touched, and turn their attention to the blast doors leading into the rest of the base. 
     
    Honey Badger:  I can try a move-through on them, but if I don't get through on the first try it's gonna hurt.
     
    He slams into them at top speed -- and is exactly one BODY shy.
     
    Circe:  When we get done here, can we take those blast doors home with us?  They have a pretty impressive Honey Badger-shaped dent in them.
     
    HB did enough damage to part the blast doors a crack, through which he sees Gigante waiting.  The rocky brick peeks through the crack.
     
    Gigante:  Wow.  Gigante impressed.  Is little man hurt bad?
    Honey Badger:  (shaking off the effects of being Stunned)  Nah.  I heal fast.
     
    Gigante rips open what remains of the blast doors, and the battle is on.  HB and Gigante trade punches, causing some damage to the rocky one but leaving HB knocked back into the silo - and ending up in the open area where the missile once stood.
    HB:  Can't I just grab onto the walkway?
    GM:  Sure, on your next Phase.  Of course, you may be a bit farther down the silo by then.
     
    Libertador does a full-out shield-bash roundhouse on Gigante.
     
    Libertador:  Sixteen dice?!  Maker needs one of those shields!
    GM:  (thinking) Sure, if she gets some questionite and about 75 points.
     
    After the heroes' concentrated attacks on Gigante take him down, they move into the hall to face Khemset (the metal-wrapped mummy), Espiritu, and a half-dozen Hands of Death.  Shortly afterward, a blast door down the hall opens to reveal Muerte and Mayan sorceress Bruja Balam.
     
    Libertador:  MUERTEEEEE!!!!  (charge and shield bash)
     
    Shadowboxer grabs and squeezes Bruja Balam.
     
    GM:  Drop six dice from your attack.
    Pops:  Why does he have to roll six less dice?
    GM:  She has Damage Negation.
    Pops: What the heck is that?
    Shadowboxer:  It's what I have.  It's how I survive so many attacks.
     
    Eventually the heroes have most of the villains down, including capturing Muerte.  So we finish with Maker catching up to the missile.
     
    Maker:  Can I defuse the nuke?
    GM:  If you make your Demolitions roll by enough. 
    Maker:  I don't have that skill.
    GM:  I'll give you an 8 or less.  I mean, sure, Muerte is a raving paranoid, but that doesn't mean he put any boobytraps or failsafes in.  You'll be fiiiiine.
    Maker:  So, can I redirect the missile into orbit, and let UNTIL take care of it?
     
    Using her electrical engineering and systems operation skills, she's able to fire the engines and direct it to a higher altitude.  Little knowing that Muerte had a failsafe in case the missile is redirected. 
     
    GM:  (to the rest of the hero team, monitoring things from the launch control room in Muerte's base)  Maker's been giving you regular updates via the Mind Link, when suddenly she drops off.
    Circe:  What, did Muerte rig some sort of dimensional travel?
    GM:  No.  A moment later, you see on the screens that the nuke has gone off.  Looks like Maker just got nuked.
    Honey Badger:  She's not dead.  You're smiling way too much.
     
    GM:  [Maker's player name], please come with me a moment.  (once away from the other heroes)  One moment, you're clinging to the missile as it moves closer to orbit... and the next, you find yourself standing in a room with white walls.  Then Taurus walks in. 
    Taurus:  We noted the launch and have been monitoring the missile's flight.  Our scans indicated the warhead was about to go off, so we pulled you up here.
    Maker:  Oh.  Well, thank you.  (awkward pause)  Um, can you send me back to my team now?
    Taurus:  Eventually, perhaps.  For now, though, you'll be staying with us.  Don't worry, you'll be made quite comfortable.  Zodiakos Kyklos, please prepare a room for our guest...

She is a mistress of seduction and wants to turn the Atomic Fist against the forces of good. However she has yet to succeed and it gnaws at her. She is skilled at martial arts more to evade attacks rather than to cause damage.
