Re: My characters Here's another character of mine. Hope you like it. Little is know about the real origins of the being called “Starchild”. He presented himself to the public as a Human/Grey hybrid that had evolved to the “next level” and explained that all his mind powers came from his Grey heritage. He even told everyone that his mother was famous abductee, Loren Cole but he steadily refused to do DNA tests to prove that claim. He also refused to explain if it was true that he was responsible for the mind-wiping of about 15 civilians and USAF personnel that had been found roaming the Mojave Desert, after being sent to investigate an alleged UFO-crash… Some fringe groups say that Starchild is the first of the alien invaders that will attack Earth in the near future. That he’s only paving the way for the acceptance of Grey rule over Humankind. Starchild as been victim of more than 23 terrorist attacks just in the last year. Is true plan is still unknown…

Re: My characters

I don't play rpgs of any sort, but I "devour" lots of sourcebooks (Champions and others) in search of inspiration for creating my own Universe. I had plans to do a comic book, but unfortunately I still haven't found an artist here in Portugal interested in doing it So, I decided to start sharing some of my creations. They don't have any kind of stats only short bios and sometimes the description of their powers. I've used Heromachine and the in-game City of Heroes Character creator to "draw" some of them. If anyone is interested in using the characters, please feel free to do it. Just let me know Here's the first character. A villain called Almighty Dollar John Star was a terrorist, no doubt about it. But he saw himself as a crusader against the capitalist might of the US.. He was a “soldier” of Green Earth, a dangerous group of individuals raging from die-hard ecologists to anti-globalization protesters. His life changed in one night – the night they decided to attack a research laboratory from the mighty GreyTech Corporation. Rumours said that the laboratory was more like a torture chamber, with live test subjects, both animals and human… Green Earth had to strike! What they didn’t know was that the rumour had been spawned deep in the bowels of GreyTech security itself. They were sick and tired of Green Earth and decided it was time to get rid of them, once and for all. And that way, they could do a little test… The Green Earth strike squad entered the building without a glitch, with John Star being in the lead. But when they reached the laboratories, they got the shock of their lives. The installation was empty of all personnel and material except for some 2 huge steel containers, filled with a swirling green fluid and with a big digital clock counting down. The chemical blast caught the 10 members of the strike squad full on. The K1 mutagenic was still in raw form and killed 6 of them in mere second, just dissolving their bodies. But the other 4, John Star included, were transformed… When the security detail from GreyTech emerged from their hideouts, they came across three hugely mutated bodies and an apparently unchanged human. John Star came about at the time he was being hauled into a GreyTech armoured ambulance. He struggled with his captors and was astonished to see that he was now capable of destroying everything with a touch of his hands! Steel, plastic, and even human flesh would simply dissolve when he concentrated. Escaping from his captors, John fled to Green Earth’s base, just in time to see it destroyed by a bomb, courtesy of GreyTech. Hunted by their security forces and by the Police, John then joined forces with even more radical anti-globalizations movements, going deep underground and vanishing from the public. When he finally emerged, we had donned a costume and had adopted the name “Almighty Dollar” – in his opinion, the only thing that could match his power and destroy everything! Since then, he’s been striking multiple targets, attacking capitalism’s roots of power… corporations, banks, government buildings, etc… Unknown to him, GreyTech has brainwashed his former partners in crime and sent them in his pursuit.

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week That new bio of yours is just great Keep up the good work!

Re: Around the World With A New Character Each Week You've been doing a good work with this idea of yours! Can't wait to see the Portuguese character, lol. I have 2 sugestions for the Black Rhino character: - "Fabrice" is a French name, not Portuguese so you might think about changing that name (maybe to Francisco or Fernando). You might use Fabricio (that's a Portuguese version of Fabrice), but it's mainly used in Brazil. - Some plot ideas for European gamers could involve Black Rhino coming to Europe in the trail of the "blood diamonds" - diamonds extracted by slaves from rebel-controlled areas, sold outside the legal markets. The money from these "blood diamonds" is then used to buy more weapons; spread more corruption, etc... Or he could just try and take out some of the legal mining companies - they operate like small nations inside Angola, with private armies (mercenaires, lol) and such. Just my 2 cents

Re: Namedropping What about: Mr. T (born Laurence Tureaud) Just look at his bio: Source

Re: History of the Super-Soldier Serum (need suggestions!) Here are some ideas that I found and that may be of some use to you: Source And don't forget about the Universal Soldier program, that turned dead soldiers into Super-Soldiers

Re: [Wanted] Lots of old sourcebooks Thanks for all the replies. I'll have to check that site and see what I can get.

Hi! I hope someone can . I'm not a player, just a guy that loves comic books since a kid. Right now I'm creating a new universe based on my ideas and writing some short stories. To gain some inspiration, I've bought some old Champions books on Ebay and I'm trying to find some other. I would like to know your opinion about my choices of "wanted" books and where I can find them. Ebay (at least the UK one) seems to be empty of them, and I can't afford the shipping costs from the US. Anyone knows a UK store (online would be great, lol) that sells them? Or is anyone selling them? Here's my Wanted List: Golden Age Champions European Enemies (and yes, I know it seems to be awful, but there's a Portuguese based villain there, so it's a must have, lol) Enemies for Hire Enemies Assemble Justice Not Law Kingdom of Champions And that'a all for now. Thanks in advance for any help!
