This is a nostalgia project where I drew inspiration from the Ultimates and other villains to create the Ultramercs, a group of villains for hire. Attached are Microsoft Word write-ups for the characters (6th Edition) along with Hero Designer files (6th and 5th Edition) in a consolidated WinZip file.
 
The members are:
Tangleweb (Inspired by Binder of the Ultimates)
LaBrea (Inspired by Plasmoid of the Ultimates)
Cybrute (Inspired by Blackstar of the Ultimates)
Fast Lane (Inspired by Slick of the Ultimates)
Ekrixi (Inspired by Dr. Photon of V.O.I.C.E.)
Peremenya (Inspired by Marvel Comics' Mankiller)
Insider (New creation)
 
Enjoy! 😉

Here's a villain trio I developed for Champions, known as the Apex. They are the following:
 
Technovore, loosely inspired by Mechanon - 500 pts
Simian Rex, a cybernetically augmented Ape Guardian from the Hero System Bestiary - 400 pts
Enforcer Drone - Technovore's battle drones that hide a dark, insidious secret - 120 pts
 
Enjoy! 😉

I came across a Kelek action figure on display from the Dungeons & Dragons toy series and got inspired to do a character write-up using the statistics provided on the box. I used Fantasy Hero (3rd Edition rules) with 75 points as base, 75 points of Disadvantages, and went from there. Included is the Hero Designer file, Adobe pdf, and Microsoft Excel version to edit or print.
 
Enjoy! 😉

Here are two more write-ups for Dungeons & Dragons characters/action figures Warduke and Skylla adapted from The Shady Dragon Inn module. Fantasy Hero (3rd Edition) was used as base rule set. Included are the Hero Designer, Adobe pdf, and Microsoft Excel files to edit/print as you see fit. Enjoy! 😉

This is a write-up of the public domain character Yankee Girl, featured in various AC titles such as FemForce in both 5th and 6th Edition format with their respective Hero Designer files. Enjoy! 😉

This project is out of pure nostalgia from a video arcade game I once played...Wizard Fire a.k.a. Dark Seal II. 🙂 The WinZip contains Microsoft Excel and Hero Designer files for the following characters:
 
Carl Greystone - Knight
Jade Greataxe - Fighter
Hark Riger - Bard
Freya Edirne - Wizard
Eminna Jozestore - Elf fighter-mage

This is a re-imagined version of the classic villain duet Thunder & Lightning (Margaret and John Harrington, respectively) as Assault & Battery. Assault (Margaret Westfeld) is inspired by Thunder as a physical powerhouse and Battery (John Westfeld) is an electrical energy projector based off of Lightning.
 
One of the scenarios I developed had them working for a government sponsored team known as Task Force Sentinel that is responsible for protecting the families of superheroes in their civilian identities from threats like VIPER.

This is a write-up for Merlin the Magician adapted from various Arthurian legends, films, and RPG write-ups for D&D. Included is the Hero Designer file and character sheet (5th Edition) in Microsoft Word. Some design notes:
 
1) Most of what I read depicted Merlin as a diviner and seer who works through others rather than actively commit direct action. The most common abilities depicted were his divination to see into the future, ability to move through nature much faster than normal means (those traveling with him also moved faster as a result), and glamour magic (illusions). I increased the END cost for his glamour since he often needed to sleep for an extended amount of time to use that magic.
 
2) I adapted some of his abilities depicted in Romance of the Perilous Land RPG where Merlin is a druid and is able to summon forces of nature to strengthen others.
 
3) I definitely included his lust as a disadvantage, since it was his lust that got him duped into being imprisoned in a magical tree by the Lady of the Lake (Viviene) in order to get him to stop fawning after her. 😉

I recently read Osprey Games' Romance in the Perilous Land that had interesting interpretations of characters from Arthurian romance. Inspired by the work, I developed four re-imagined legends from Arthurian legends. They are the following:
 
1) Queen Guinevere is a knight. In this incarnation, war has come to Camelot. Initially healing the injured, Guinevere takes a more active role and takes up arms as the casualties rise and the war is not going in Camelot's favor. She still has her secret affair with Sir Lancelot, so I added the disguise and concealment skills that she would likely use.
 
2) Elaine of Astolat is a knight. This version of Elaine takes up arms shortly after Sir Lancelot spurns her romantic advances after healing him where the villain knight Sir Turquine kills her father and attempts to ravage her. She wounds Sir Turquine enough to drive him away, and takes up arms to defend her home since he will return.
 
3) Sir Pelleas is a returning crusader. In the story I read Sir Pelleas is betrayed by Sir Gawain and spurned by his love interest Ettarre, who Gawain lies about killing him and seduces her for his own benefit. Pelleas finds them sleeping together and leaves his sword laying on top of them to show Ettarre that he's alive and his honor to Gawain by sparing his life despite the betrayal. From there, my idea is that he leaves Camelot to protects traders and pilgrims to the Holy Land, comparable to a knight templar and gaining valuable experience, skills, and knowledge along the way and now wields a powerful scimitar to replace the sword he left behind. When he learns of King Arthur losing the war in Camelot, he returns to serve his king one more time.
 
4) Sir Palamedes is a beast-hunter/cavalier from Arabia. I kept Palamedes a follower of the Islamic faith in this write-up and does not convert as depicted in the story I read. He's still in love with Iseult and wants to make her his third wife and is hunting the legendary Questing Beast. I loosely adapted him from the Ardeth Bey character depicted in Universal's Mummy and Mummy Returns films.
 
Enjoy! 🙂
