Re: Confedrate Comics Freeman: No one is sure hold old Freeman is but the scars across his pack are clearly from the whip. Freeman battles to protect others oppressed by the CSA with impenetrable flesh and the ability to manipulate and glide through the earth. Some believe Freeman is the ghost of an escaped slave and that his soul cannot rest until all men are made truly free. CSA propaganda promotes that there is no one Freeman but multiple men who pose as the uppity black to spread fear in the white community. CSA reports indicate that these Freemen have been killed over a dozen times by law enforcement. The truth is something far different. A slave be brought to market in the colonies before the United States won their independence the man who would become know as Freeman fought alongside whites for a liberated America, a free America. When the war was over he was returned to his master's farm in South Carolina where he rebelled refusing to go back to being a slave. Whipped and beaten for days he was hanged at the plantation's tallest tree as a reminder of what it means to rebel. As the noose dropped though he spoke a silent prayer for all those who had died for this land and it's said the mother heard his prayer. When his body ws finally laid to rest she came to him and blessed him, called him back and set him free. Imbued with the strength of the land whips would break at his back bullets would flatten at his chest and he would have the strength to set all men free. Pulling himself free from the earth Freeman was reborn but the world had changed around him. Centuries had past as the Earth Mother worked her magic on his body and he found himself in a place he hardly knew. This however, has not stopped his goal, in fact it has only driven him harder to correct all the pain inflected by a corrupt government and those who see them as inherently superior. The Dog Catcher: CSA super solder Randal Barns left the military to join the police. There he found he had not just great skill at tracking down targets but a love for the work. Opting for an experimental government program Barns found his already keen senses enhanced to super human levels in addition to his new found sensory powers he learned he could also control the minds of animals, dogs being the easiest. Since this time he has worked for a secret government agency tracking down and removing abolitionists and anti-gorvernment rabble rouses within the CSA.Wearing protective body armor and a wolf head mask they call him the Dog Catcher.

Re: Female/Male Super-Forms This seems to be a common problem in the gaming world. We can craft world upon world with characters in the hundreds with personality and quirks and needs with ease, ask us how we feel and suddenly ninety percent of us become mute. Nothing really to add here just an observation. There have been far to many times where I've been guilty of this one too.

Re: Female/Male Super-Forms This reminds me a lot of Rama 1/2 an anime is was none to fond of but that's beside the point. I think who you should talk to is your group, voice your concerns about the character and solicit feedback from the other players see how they will feel about introducing the gender bending brick. Also, if you are seriously worried things might not work out, talk to the character's player have him design a back up character in case this one does not work out. Then even if this character goes a few sessions and you decide it's not a good fit he can swap out for a character with the same experience.

Re: Hero Histories based on the Ages of Comics Thank you, I'm glad you liked the timeline. With the Gal-Mar storyline I wanted to capture something like Jack Kirby's galactic adventures. At the same time I really was looking for a kind of Flash Gordan throwback story arc In the seventies I wanted to have Vigilant really jump from being a pulp age throwback to fighting at the same power level as actual super heroes. To make this transition I thought a four color styled Justice League or Avengers would serve as a kind of spring board. The logic being if he can fight alongside powered super heroes he's obviously as strong as them. You know power creep from changing writers. The eighties seemed to have a lot of Asian connections and so I thought it was appropriate. The Jade Empress being a kind of combination of Storm, Lady Deathstrike and Itsu. This was also a darker time in comics and so I wanted to reflect that. As for Ruby Red although he married the Jade Empress I think his heart always belonged to Ava Daring. With introducing the Jade Empress I was also trying to strike on some of the strange kind of love stories that crept into comics of the time. Scott, Phoenix and Phoenix comes to mind. Although the timeline never actually details it I think she does since it's in Korea where he finally captures her. I have to admit I'm surprised I only had the one comic code infraction. Maybe Imuthes the Mummy Lord only had the scary name but was a living human? Something along the lines of Shiwan Khan, possessor of magical powers but still human?

Re: Certified's Super Awesome thousandth Post Had to delete the fist try didn't get all the files added. Looks like here's one thousand and one since I can only put in 5 files a post. ... and Certified Sound will be live tomorrow at 2 PM EST... NSFW or basic human decency.

So for my thousandth post I thought I would put up a collection of villains ranging from fodder to giants who can take on a full team alone. Feel free to snag them I've attach the HDC files. Hope you enjoy. Lady Night: A crazed Metahuman able to tap into the place known only as the Shadow. Dement Ator: AKA The Man in White AKA the Master of Genetic Alteration AKA My pet Mad Scientist. Who Dement Ator Works for, what his motivations are even his real name are all still a mystery. The only thing they know for sure is so long as he possesses the chemical known as Quintessence he is capable of any numbers of crimes against man an nature. Failed Test Subjects: Dog men created by the master of genetic alternation Dement Ator. Early attempts, sloppy work but they get the job done. Grey Matter: Hyper Intelligent collection of ninites with dreams of a perfected world. The show stopper. The Shin Tsubo Ken: Every good hero team needs a ninja and on the same token no GM should be without a smattering of ninja handymen with interesting martial powers, even if they don't stack up to that pesky hero. Gigamax: The all purpose Giant Robot. Detritus: The final parting gift from the Man in White Dement Ator before leaving HAAD (Humans Against Altered Dictatorships. Taking the solders he could lure into the lab their bodies we fused together using the mysterious Quintessnece.

Re: Hero Histories based on the Ages of Comics When I was working on the timeline I wanted him to start earlier but I knew from the start I didn't want him to have any kind of super powers until the modern age. Vigilant as it stands is about ninety. Part of what I wanted to portray was the decline of his body and his loathing of having to rely on technology to compensate for it. Sure this could have been done if I pushed it back into the true pulp era but at a hundred and ten that's pushing even my exaggerated suspension of disbelief for the character. One of the things I made sure not to cover is a true back story for him. No mentioning his real name how he learned martial arts but I pictured him in his thirties at the start of his career as a crime fighter, old enough to have fought in the war or a number of other things. Oh and that was post number 999.... I'll need to come up with something good to break 1000 with.

Re: Hero Histories based on the Ages of Comics One of the campaigns I'm in over at Hero Central centers around older heroes coming out of retirement. For whatever reason I thought the bast way to try and capture this idea was have the character kind of mature trough the ages starting out as a late pulp early golden age detective. When working on the timeline I tried to tink of things as print runs of a comic to emphasize the shift in eras. Here's the bio for the masked detective Vigilant. Vigilant Timeline

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States For publication maybe you should talk with some of the artists on the boards see if they would be willing to help with doing hand done pictures for the characters.

Re: Waking up with super powers I suppose that is a super power, turning part of your body to crystal. Ouch. Just ouch. Yeah, I'd take regeneration over that too.

Re: Waking up with super powers What would you really do if you woke up with super powers? Don't know depends on the super power, likely call in to work sick for a week at least. What kind of powers would you like to have? The ability to transfer my consciousness from one body to another. (Hay someone has to get the cool villain powers.) What kind of powers would you NOT like to have? Invisibility, there are too many logistical issues with this in real life. I don't want to get run over by a car or have people bumping into me as I hang out at the girls locker over at LA Fitness. Would it matter if only 1 in a billion people had powers vs 1 in 100 million, or even 1 in a million? From an individual basis probably not, I'm not telling no one when I snag my new body. On a global scale it's would obviously have an escalating degree of impact. Would you tell others? Just one person. How do you think your life would change? This all depends on the degree of bastard I become as the hubris of my body jumping ability sets in. Any other thoughts on the subject or questions that need to be asked (that I didn't think of)? Do you think Angelina Jolie would notice if Brad Pitt put on like fifty pounds?

Re: Confedrate Comics I thought about ayindie's post as well but I think it has a valid point. The initial post offers little guidance of the scope and nature of the heroes and only the smallest information on the setting. The setting is designed to get peoples attention for good or ill, ayindie's post is an emotional reaction to a vary dark time in their family's history. As they has been no further posts from LWhitehead it seems all answers are valid. Personally I think it may be time to drop this thread until they post again otherwise we're just buying into flamebait.

Re: Paths Not Taken After years of failed attempts to raise his mother from the dead and crushing the souls of those who serve under him Doctor Victor Von Doom opens his labs to the public. Publishing his research papers and shifts the country in the direction of a Constitutional Monarchy. After several years of planning the first election is held where a young man and former political prisoner is elected Prime Minister of Latveria. This marks the beginning of a new golden age of science as the precepts of Doctor Doom's strange infusion of magic spread through the community. A year later the new Latveria, a scientific haven and industrial superpower becomes an official member of the burgeoning EU. Six years later the Prime Minister of Latveria takes the reigns as President of the EU. Within a year after this Latveria is considered one of the economic hubs of the Union holding more power than any other nation. In effect Doctor Doom successfully conquers all of Europe without firing a single shot.

Re: Confedrate Comics A flame war... okay maybe that's just me.

Re: Confedrate Comics Wow, there is a lot of room here for CSA "heroes." Chattle Master using his mighty energy whip and impenetrable shackles to bring evil doers and escaped slaves to justice. The Darkie, by day Aryan playboy by night, detective who roams the segregated cities looking for some boy to step out of line. Okay, before I go off on a tangent of what might be considered by a modern confederate nation I guess I would like more detail on what the two nations are like. Politics, history, common values all these things play into what a cultural hero may be. Are heroes of the CSA heroes of more modern values who fight against the system or do they serve the greater good and country? This is really a broad question and setting concept you've presented I would really like more details. Now just for fun here's this:
