For a time, Shaman joined the international superteam "Unity" and changed his costume to reflect their more modern (and to some degree paramilitary) mind set.

My grandmother made the best buttermilk fried rabbit. Wasn't as spicy as the above sounds but one bite and you'd punch the Col in the face for a piece.

Its the Juggernaut b- well you know the rest.

I like the idea of going with the most number of likes after a week or two with no follow up and, in the event of a tie, first come first served.

It was really close. Ultranauhght was short but had a clever tie in to Champions Universe canon. Christopher's entry addressed the steam punk aesthetic in a very novel fashion. The idea of a race of alien cosplayers is a fun one. But I think Death Tribble's did the best of all both by connecting the image with canon, addressing the style and also mentioning the awesome iron 'stache :-D So Death Tribble, you're up!

[/url],

Whew! It would have been pretty humbling to lose a race of one. I'll post as soon as I figure out how to post images again,

Is the next entry just up for grabs due to the time lag?

The meta-gene. X-Chromosome or whatever its called isn't unique to humanity. Other species have experienced powered mutation over the decades since its appearance. Its just these anomalies have been both limited and isolated, unseen by human eyes except to fuel tall tales and legends of creatures like Drop Bears, Jackalopes and Chupacabra. Being wild animals these mutants often exist at the fringe or further in the wilderness and shy away from humanity. That is until (Whale song sequence), who's mutation was human level and style sapience and some degree of psionic abilities and along fines that give some manipulative ability. His different mindset made him something of an outsider often wandering away from his pod to investigate things that stirred his curiosity. The odd floating islands that carried human across the surface were among them and he would linger near, testing his nascent abilities in trying to communicate with their inhabitants who seemed as curious about him most of the time. The similar minds delighted him. Until his inevitable encounter with whalers. The brutality of the attack he witnessed and the callous and cold emotions from the hunter enraged him. Instinctively he lashed out, bombarding them with both waves of his anger but terror and pain of their target but even more their confused sadness as to why they were being attacked for no reason they could discern. When the Greenpeace intervention ship arrived it found the entire crew stunned and nearly catatonic, mostly weeping with only a few able to murmur a single phrase: "They don't hate us, why don't they hate us?" He retreated from investigating humans for a time both disturbed, saddened and confused. The shocking violence and amazing compassion and concern displayed by two groups of human was puzzling. He eventually decided to approach humans again, to learn to actually communicate with them and eventually bridge the gap between the species. The whale's powers are mostly psionic including telepathy and some ability to experience the sensory input of others essentially "riding" them as a passive mental observer.. While he can exerts no direct control over the subject but can nudge them by invoking specific emotions like curiosity or fear. His ability to telepahically communicate with human is currently limited since hid powers don't over come the figurative language barrier between the species limiting him to emotional and broad concepts. His communications usually feel like odd feelings and sometimes dreams to humans with a faint background noise of whale songs. On the more physical side, he has large flexible fore fins that can be used as limbs. His fine manipulation is limited but like his psionic abilities will grow with practice.

This is very different and interesting take on the image.

My Inner 10 yr old greatly approves. :-D

Well, this thread quieted way down.I apologize for the absence I had some medical issues.

To look at it from a different angle, While I can completely understand simplifying ancient gods when using them as NPCs in a Champions game, most games will be in a comic book world and in such worlds morality is often simplified even binary in true Four Color variants. It is a game of recreated comic book adventure not a mythology class, after all. I'm not saying making these beings more complicated or accurate is off limits just that's not required to have a good time with them. Most of players will be coming at this from a modern likely 1st world view point after all and might feel they're being lectured on how "Everything they know/believe is wrong". if things are taken too far.

I'm going to give it to Nothere's Stephanie Steam. Congratulations and you're up next!

Terrify...tempt.. the line is blurry :-D

Whiz Kid: Hyper kinetic thief and prankster, Whiz Kid seems to dance back and fourth across the hero/villain line as quickly as he does everything else. And for the same reason: lulz. This poster boy for reckless irresponsible youth is up for almost anything to slake his thirst for thrills and amusement. He's not violent, however, and doesn't try to kill or greatly injure his opponents (or the authorities) instead using his speed, agility and wicked but childish sense of humor to escape, evade and harass them instead. His juvenile attitude is understandable as Whiz Kids is actually 11 yrs old. His hyped up metabolism has him the build and development of a boy several years older. Whiz kid is a frequent friendly rival/partner of the young Speedster heroine Velocity. To be clear, she is NOT his girlfriend. She is his friend who is a girl.

I thought someone did earlier in the thread. Nothing much seemed to come of it?

I hope my pizza example didn't come across as snarky. I was grasping for something fairly simple but distinct. In retrospect, gold might have been a better choice or gold deposits (Prospector extraordinaire) I made it an Unusual Sense to avoid the mechanical and logical baggage that comes with attaching Sense Groups.

That seems very convoluted.

Renaissance Smug arrogant super scientist who decided, in his magnanimous wisdom to bestow his gifts on the world of lesser beings. A misguided hero/potential villain

Iron Maus: Armored political statement. Despite his comedic appearance, Iron Maus is quite serious in his war against corporate dominance and its stranglehold on many endeavors especially the creative fields. And his (Iron Maus is presumed male but no one has seen his true appearance). armor is no joke either and is easily a match for some of the most formidable high tech battlesuits available.

Shaman: Native American mystic hero torn between his legacy of power and responsibility and his modern sensibilities.

Mink: a superhero with a male and female form. Mink's origin is largely unknown. S/He appeared on the west coast scene a few years ago and has taken both the hero and the fashion world by storm, becoming one of the top metahuman models in the world. Aside from heroics, Mink tries to better the world through charity, backing many foundations and donating his/her time to beneficial works. [/url]Minks by nexus66620042000, on Flickr

I purchase Detect: Pizza (unusual sense group), Ranged, Discriminatory. Ranged, Acts as Sense, Transmit. What can my character do in plain English?

Aren't all characters by default detectable to any sense that could perceive them unless they get Invisibility/Images/Darkness to that sense?
