Re: [Group] Mega Force
Thanks for the kind comments folks. I've been trying to complete each character as I post, but it's taking a while. So instead, I'll just post what I have and update backgrounds etc as requested.

Re: Disturbing Character premises...
Not really disturbing, more disgusting but..
"Gunk is a large mass of green phlegm-like gunk that is vauguely humanoid in shape."
The players heard the words "green phlegm-like" and just didn't want to touch the guy

Background/History: She died alone again. Everytime death came, she was alone. She'd always been alone.
No one who came to the orphanage wanted the strange little blind girl who spoke to people who weren't there and knew things they shouldn't. No one would play with her, but that was fine by her. She'd only feel feel and hear and smell them dying sometime anyway. But she could feel the sun on her face, smell the flowers in spring, and hear the innocent laughter of the other orphans, so she was content. She wasn't dead. Yet.
One day a dark man was coming and he wanted her, not the others, but she knew what the dark man had done. He'd smelt like incense and sulfur and rich food and blood, and despite not wanting to she'd heard things said in words she didn't understand by things she didn't want to know and one word had risen unbidden in her mind... DEMON. So she ran six hours before he was going to come. On the eve of her thirteenth birthday.
She returned after the dark man had gone. She was safe. She heard someone say it must have been a gas leak or an electrical fault - the wiring was old after all - then heard the dark man ask coldly "Where is the child? You were her keeper" and Dr Bumble, the manager of the orphanage say fearfully "I-I don't know sir. She was here at lights out"and the dark man was saying "They must be appeased with blood" and then the others were screaming and then they were burning and she knew that she was in the past again and she was screaming and then...
She got out of the hospital by doing the things she saw she would do, even though it took time and the voices of the others would come to her from time to time. She'd learnt to keep quiet about the things she'd seen and saw, and simply did what she saw herself doing, lest others suffer as the children had. At this point, her powers were tested, found to be true, and the government made her an offer.
She thought perhaps that joining the Secret Service would allow her to protect the innocent, but instead she was only protecting the corrupt and bloated. And she saw links to the dark man in some of her visions the longer she stayed and deduced only one way out. So one day she waited in the shadows as a man, not the dark man, cut the throat of her charge and left. She then left, drifting to avoid the hunting feds, and waited until the day she'd meet Harlequin, Jinx and the others. And for a time, a long time, she'd be with them and be able to do something.
But always death would come again, and she'd die alone.
Personality/Motivation: Blindsight is a fatalist, in that she follows her perceived fate. Her psychological makeup makes it seem odd that she would choose to associate with Mega Force, but her visions showed her that she is with Mega Force, so she is resigned to her fate. While with the group she does what she can to care for Jinx and Gunk, both of whom she percieves as innocent, and tries to curb the more anti-social tendencies of other group members. She will rarely try to avoid her fate, as the consequences of doing this in the past have led to the death of innocents.
Quote: "Don't. Please. I know how it ends."
*He's going to move there next...*
Powers/Tactics: Blindsight is a powerful precog, a talented martial artist, and a brilliant field tactician. The latter two are greatly enhanced by the former, to the point where she knows what people are going to do before they do it and is able to communicate this quickly and efficiently to her teammates.
Campaign Use: Blindsight is a tragic figure who believes that the death she percieves for herself will happen and that all her other precognitive 'visions' must be followed. She is not a villain in the classic sense, and could be persuaded to the side of 'light', but only if she could bring Jinx and Gunk with her.
DEMON's interest in her is deliberately left up in the air for the GM to deal with as they will.

Re: [Group] Mega Force
Hehe..."Gunk is Sticky". Now he's my kinda guy! One question though' date=' just outta curiosity, how come you went with a TK Damage Shield instead of a Clinging (buy it a second time) Damage Shield? Great character, I'll rep again when I can.[/quote']Well, Clinging isn't exactly an attack power for starters but it did cross my mind. Secondly, Clinging wouldn't restrict a character's ability to move, access focii, perform gestures etc... The other option was an Entangle Damage shield, but that didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I stuck with the TK.
And it works GREAT on martial artists and bricks:sneaky:

Background/History: John Erikson, the son of a Texan oil tycoon, was always obsessed with the Old West. He felt like he'd been born 100 years too late. He collected Old West memorabilia; he taught himself to ride a horse; he even learnt to shoot and draw just like they used to. He craved the freedom of the old ways, the freedom for a man and his sixgun to decide his own destiny, and woe betide any man who'd try to stop him. Somehow he felt that life was passing him by.
One day he saw a pair of exquisite pistols of a design he'd never seen before up for auction. He knew he had to have them, and neither Man nor God nor even the Devil were going to stop him. They cost him his inheritance and nearly all that he owned, but in the end they were his. When he first picked them up he knew that they were meant for him, and he for them. He sold the rest of his possessions and took to the road on his steel horse and became Cowboy, Gun-for-Hire.
Personality/Motivation: Cowboy is a man with an affection for things past, but more than that he seeks action and adventure. He enjoys taking on other gun using characters and showing them how to really shoot, but won't kill them unless asked. Or unless they push it.
Quote: "Stop jabberin' boy. Draw!"
Powers/Tactics: Cowboy's physical abilities, whilst physically impressive, are still within the realm of human. He is incredibly agile and fast, can take a beating, and is cool in a crisis.
His mystic sixguns enable him to shoot anyone with 250 yards of his person in the head, and he never seems to run out of bullets. He can also focus on one target for greater effect. The guns also allow him to aim without missing, and to shoot intangible objects. His duster is a specially armoured with spectra-weave, and swirls about in combat making Cowboy a hard target to hit.
Campaign Use: Cowboy is a mercenary, or hired gun in Old West parlance. He works for whomever pays him, and does his job.

Mega Force are an elite mercenary group and homage to an existing comic book team that I have used with great success. They are slightly cheesy by name in tribute to a really bad 80's telemovie, but that doesn't mean you have to play them as cheesy and useless. The way they play is usually determined by the mood of their leader.
Also, some characters are more complete than others I'm afraid.
First up, a favourite of mine and the players...

Background/History: Gunk burbled happily in his tank. It liked being in its tank. It made it feel all squershily somewhere inside. Not that inside was a concept that really mattered to Gunk. All parts of Gunk were Gunk. It had been in its tank for a long time, but that didn't matter. It was quite content. Suddenly there were loud noises nearby, and Gunk writhed. Something outside its tank was disturbing Gunk, and Gunk was not happy.
Tommy and Frank removed their hands from their ears and shone a torch around the room they had just blasted open. Raiding old supervillain bases was lucrative, but dangerous. Just the other week an old secruity mummy had activated in one of the Clockwork Pharoah's old haunts, and they had had to run for it. Sure, it had caused havoc once it got out and the local goody-two-shoes in tights was still resting up in hospital despite destroying it, but they didn't make the stupid machine. Plus VIPER paid a lot for the stuff they brought in. When it worked and wasn't broken.
"Dude will you look at all this stuff? It's like out of one of those old movies," Tommy said, stepping into the room. The torchlight picked out old vacuum tubes and other old-school scientific apparatus like test tubes.
Frank was more cautious and eyed the room. He could see the benches around the edge, the pipes and wires leading everywhere, and the distinct lack of dust. "No dust," he muttered.
"What was that?" Tommy shouted.
"No dust," Frank said more loudly.
Tommy walked further into the abandoned lab, making a mental list. If any of this stuff was working, they were in for a pretty good...
*Squlech*
"What was that?" Tommy shouted, reaching for a scientific... gizmo he'd call it.
"Didn't say nothin'," Frank shouted back from the front of the lab, setting up the loot trolley. Then Frank looked up in time to see a large, blobby figure reach out with a slurpy splat, and Tommy was gone.
"Ahhhh!" Frank screammed as he ran. He'd never liked Tommy anyway.
*Burble* went Gunk, and followed.
---------------------------------------------
Gunk's origins are shrouded in mystery. No one knows if it was created in the lab, held prisoner there and experimented on, or is an alien life form. After its initial rampage was over, Gunk was finally knocked out releasing its (thankfully) unconscious victims.
Personality/Motivation: Gunk's primary motivation is to be content. If left alone, Gunk will squelch happily in place. However, due to its appearance that is often not what happens. Loud noises, particulalry those over 150 db cause Gunk discomfort, and Gunk will do anything to stop it.
Also Gunk has shown an incredibly loyalty towards those that show it kindness, which implies some form of intelligence.
Quote: None. Gunk is Mute. Although it does make nice squleching noises.
Powers/Tactics: Gunk is incredibly resilient and incredibly strong. Its body is made up of... welll... gunk. Gunk can hit things hard, and its sticky body will absorb most objects it comes into contact with.
Campaign Use: Gunk is a brick who is particularly nasty against people who engage in HTH combat. Gunk can also be used as a roaming menace for lower powered characters.
Appearance: Gunk is a large mass of green phlegm-like gunk that is vauguely humanoid in shape.

Re: Etrigan's Arts
A new (and better I think!) color version of Mindstorm:
It looks like a silver vs bronze age colouring contest
I think both are fine. How would he look if the current yellow were black(ish) and the yellow a dark purple (ish)? With the cape maybe one of those two colours?

Re: World Watchers Beta Team
James 'Mimic' Caruso
James is a small quiet man who goes about his day-to-day job as an accountant as if he were born to the job. He has an eye for detail and a way with numbers that would normally make him a very rich man, if only he weren't so quiet and unassuming and unambitious. He is also unflappable, methodical, and some would even say emotionless. They'd be wrong - he just has incredible self control. He actually finds his chosen career quite boring, despite being incredibly good at it.
His appearance is always immaculate, even if he buys his suits off the rack he has one of those frames that makes them fit perfectly. He tends to like the colours brown and beige, eats the same thing for lunch every day (tuna fish sandwich), and is always on time.
He lives alone in a 2 bedroom apartment in the nice part of town with his dog Carson, a purebred bloodhound, and spends his nights reading Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie mysteries. He is mostly content, but dreams of the day where his powers could really make a difference.
James' powers are twofold, and he finds both slightly embarrassing. Firstly, he has minor shapeshifting abilities that allow him to alter his size by about 6 inches, and stretch to about the same. Secondly, he is able to create and duplicate any sound he has heard. The second power allows him to draw attention to himself, but he finds the thought mortifying.
He'd choose to wear a domino mask, hat, nice 3 piece suit, and a cape like the pulp heroes of old if he went to an interview, and would use his powers to make himself seem louder and more impressive than he is.
However, while his powers are relatively useful, it's his sharp perceptive mind and unflappable demeanour that would make him a valuable addition to a team.

Re: World Watchers Beta Team
Danger Kid (and Ruff)
Danger Kid looks like your ordinary tween/teen - dreses in blue jeans, hi-tops, has blonde hair that looks like it's never seen a comb - except that he wears his great grandpa's flying goggles on his head and a red tshirt with the letters DK written on it in white. He carries a skateboard most places and desperately wants to be a superhero, or at least a superhero's sidekick.
He has the irrepressible belief of youth in his own invulnerability, plus he has a single power - he actually is practically invulnerable. Consequently, he constantly throws himself into dangererous situations in an attempt to 'help'. Hence his name.
Ruff is his pet dog - a terrier cross. Crossed with what? Who knows - is it important? Ruff is incredibly protective of Danger Kid, and can often be found fearlessly siccing the 'bad guys' as he and Danger Kid have 'adventures'. Ruff also has invulnerability similar to Danger Kid's and packs a mean bite that can pierce almost anything.
Danger Kid (and Ruff) would do almost anything to join a hero team, and won't take no for an answer easily. He'd think it was some sort of test, and so set out to prove himself worthy. Danger Kid believes in traditional heroic ideals that seem out of place with his generation. He also believe that catching bad guys is more important than school and homework.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
It just seemed amusing.No seeming about it - rep

Re: The return of... HIDEOUS!
I figure that it depends on the effect you want...
You want it to kill/hurt people? Killing Attack. Probably NND, Does Body (Defense is successful Ego roll). Area Effect as you suggested. Some sort of Limitation like "must look at face". Damage shield too?
You want it to drive them insane or make them quivering wrecks? Ego or Pre Drain.
You want it to stun them so badly that they can't move or look away? BOECV Mental Entangle/Paralysis.
Other mental effects? Telepathic Mind Control (probably the way I'd do it).
Be careful of using this as a damaging attack though - it would be a player killer in most games, as well as a killer of many NPC's. I guess that's why I'd lean towards the Mind Control option.

Re: Does having 16-20 BODY in a Char. Max. game break things?
Amusingly enough, I rarely have to injure a player in my games. I encourage them to use stealth and tactics to get around, and to take cover in combat. The rub is when someone gets the drop on them and tells them to surrender/drop their weapons or the like. If a character has 20 BODY and is being covered by a mook with a 1d6+1 RKA pistol aimed at thier vitals, there is a 50% chance that the damage done will not be lethal. I can arm all my mooks with 2d6 RKAs, but then I'm screwing the poor guy who decided to only take 12 BODY in the interests of realism. Effectively 20 BODY characters just triggers an arms race which encourages all the bad guys to carry bigger sticks (or guns, or the like).As for bleeding rules, I'm pretty sure that a guy who comes from the hit point school of thought will envision a paramedics roll as a "cure light wound" to stop the bleeding.
Then use 2 mooks for that 20 BOD character
Or the only mook with the machine pistol. Or the captain of the mooks, who has a bigger gun...... or just ask the player to spend the points elsewhere.

Re: Chimpira's Art Dump
Here is something I just inked. Not in love with it and I might give it another crack at a later date and redraw the whole shabam.I like it (rep).
She looks sad and haunted. A flawed character - very nice.
Oh, and everything else is great too. The bunch of dudes in a circular layout looks great (post before the sad Angel Fae).

Re: My first Champions character in fourteen years.
I like the character. Don't change a thing if you don't want to.
However, I'd consider changing his 5pt Ranged levels to 3pt levels with Bows, as his background gives no indication to me that he would also be a crack shot with a pistol.
Or the only mook with the machine pistol. Or the captain of the mooks, who has a bigger gun...
