It seems a lot of handles/user names on this board are based on Characters they currently or at one point played. So here's the thread. post your namesake character and bio you would like to include and lets see what comes up. Cheers!

Re: Five Innovative But Impractical Handguns Somehow I must working a revised version of the Apache .... that is too much whoopass in a small package not to see the gaming table.

Re: Golden Girl Strangely when I clicked on this thread I was expecting Bee Arthur as a super heroine.

Re: Holding the end of the world Apollyon (Mystic): At some point this device was created so one must lean how to unmake it. Wrapping the shard to his chest Apollyon whould make sure he could sleep without fear of it coming loose then begin the long process of research, calling in any favors he may have earned from other mystics over the years. Fallout (Self Contained Ball of Living Radiation): Not understanding magic and not really having anyone to turn to for advice on the matter Fallout would place the crystal inside it's body then begin the slow journey towards the nearest black hole. This may take him several years and he may need some help to break away from orbit but not having any bodily functions it can survive in the depths of space. Hopefully someone smarter than him would find a solution long before he had to cruise through a black hole.

Metahumans Rising has been chugging along for about a year and a half. Recently we've had several players leave for various reasons. This leaves me with four players and three players for the two teams. The first team the Defenders was intended to be a kind of Bronze Age, Golden Age revival feel but seems to have dipped into darker territory. This has cast a shadow over the campaign ever since. With the loss of some of our players I've taken a step back to try and reevaluate how best to moderate the campaign tone and feel without outright telling players: No you can't do X or you should do Y. The Defenders roster is comprised of four members currently: Hardware: Power Armored Brick and Energy Projector, Dorian an Energy Projector and Controller, Shadow Knight, ninja and a Mako: attempting to reform petty criminal Demi-Brick and Scrapper. What I'm considering is bringing in fifth character who can complement the team without stepping on does powers wise but more importantly is more idealistic when it comes to what heroes do and don;t do. Kind of a moral compass. This isn't to say they're a boyscout but someone who is a more classic hero persona. The other team: Project D is a government team who live n this grayer area. Where stories from the Defenders are intended to be heroic and larger than life, Project D deals with gritter scenarios and situations. Their roster consists of Freedom, patriot (in the vein of the Comedian) and energy projector, Thunderbird Native American Brick and Archer and Hound, mentalist and drunk. Here I think it would be good to add one additional player for balance, two if I decide to add a fifth member to the Defenders. Currently, the two teams are completely independent of each other. At one point I had a second GM to help me. Part of these long range plans does involve keeping the tones of the parallel campaigns separate. There are long range plans regarding the teams interactions but I'll keep those to myself as I know at least one of my current players and one former player posts here as well. Thoughts?

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? Okay the GM who allowed that one ... you know I don't think it even needs to be said.

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? I can only picture this once great sea beast fearful of tiny sea things... oh no it's a jelly fish... swim swim swim...

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? That's true but I think the League of Extraordinary Chickens should have their day.

Re: Whoops! Did I really allow that power? Yep Facepalm... the only logical next action.

An uneventful night, in an uneventful week there are a child's cries from outside the door. Waiting for you is a gray baby's car seat with baby in tow. An infant girl, just born, blood still drying on the child wrapped in an olive blanket. A note tucked to the side of the seat reads: The child radiates no magical or malicious aura, by all appearances it is a healthy baby. The only strange thing is that her stomach has not scar from an umbilical cord or belly button. Researching the name Alister D Hammond turns up a literature professor at the local university. Hammond had gone missing several weeks prior. What would your character do?

Okay, kind of a funny moments question. What powers or builds have you allowed without realizing the consequences they might cause? Minor powers that turned into game changers or builds you thought might be too powerful that ended up falling show, however it goes lets hear the story.

Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Bubba, really? Surely you have seen Shaolin Soccer.

Re: in the spirit of christmas! That looks amazing.

Re: Super "Chi" powers? Could the true master be a DNPC of the projection? Also, will the Master possess all the skills and powers of the projection just with lowered physical attributes?

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Okay, shameless but true I'm listening to my new show.

Re: Effective builds Better make sure that Suppress does what it needs to do. You don't want a super strong brick with the mind of an infant thinking your a Stranger Danger and a Bad Man. It's brain dead or smashed.

Re: Super "Chi" powers? From this background it seems like a very powerful Desolid would be in order. Perhaps going so far as to have it always on and purchasing his other powers affects physical world. Although that may be cost prohibitive.

Re: Super "Chi" powers? There's already a wide range of ideas here so I'll float some build concepts for the Chi Master. Stretching with invisible power effects and gestures to represent the martial artists ability to strike at range with just his Chi. This is a variation on the normal energy blast since the character is actually projecting themselves at the target. The Technique multi-power this is a multi-power for Naked Advantages that can be applied to strength. Examples include the Spear Hand (Armor Piercing) , Vibrating Palm (Penetrating), Atemi Strike (AVLD versus Hardened Armor), Combos (Auto-Fire), Lingering Strike (Continuous possibly with Reduced End) and Death Touch (A killing attack equal to strength with NND: Requires nervous system and does body). The Death Touch would likely be the most expressive power in the framework, likely twice that of any other, allow the character to combined two of the other strikes when attacking or use the extremely deadly attack. Hope these ideas help.

Re: in the spirit of christmas! I really like the background on this one kind of implies chaos along with the character's smile.
