Character Information
Height: 1.81 m Hair: Black
Weight: 81.00 kg Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Takezo keeps his hair short cropped and does not allow his beard to come in. For work reasons he commonly wears suits preferably grey or light brown.
Kaze wears a deep blue synthetic body suit that is resilient to high friction and covers the face. In constant motion Kaze seems to blur at times leaving visible trails when running. Takezo keeps the suit in a hidden briefcase compartment; it does not take long to change clothing.
Background: Born Takezo Edwards in San Diego, California to US Army Ranger Fredrick Edwards and Sayuri Saki-Edwards, his mother died during labor. Takezo’s father was distant at best, absent most of the time. Growing up he was left to his own devices, spending yeas on military bases in Germany and Greece while his father was deployed. When trying to talk to talk about his mother all his father would say was she should have never stopped running. Fredrick retired from the military just before Takezo’s seventeenth birthday. They moved to the Bronx in New York. There Takezo attended NYU for accounting. After graduating Takezo’s father arranged a trip to Sapporo to meet Sayuri’s family.
There he was immersed in a world he had only read about. Distanced from the larger cities Sapporo blended the culture of the past with modern economic needs. There he felt an instant connection as if the land itself talked to him. The Saki family spent a week with Takezo in the city before taking him to the ancestral home. East of Sapporo in Yuni Town Takezo learned the meaning of his father’s words. Outside the family home a shrine sat just off the road. Even before he could see the framed picture that rested inside the small hut he knew this was for his mother.
One would not say the only hero but the fastest one ever born out of YuniTown. Before meeting Takezo’s father she was known as Mayumiko, the Snow Arrow. Blessed with the gifts of speed and divine she had long been a protector of Hokkaido. Takezo learned that his father had met her while working with a special task force of US military and Japanese special agents. After becoming pregnant she married Takezo’s father and returned with him to America under the promise she would return. It was shame on the family, and some would say the nation that Mayumiko would turn her back on her country. When she died the US Government had her body returned. By the time Takezo was old enough to learn what had happened it was only another anecdote from the 70�s and one his father worked diligently to hide from him.
Takezo spent the four years in YuniTown studying from his family and learning all he could about his mother’s life. He trained in the family’s school of martial arts and the disciplines that his mother should have instilled upon him as a child. This study only strengthened his connection to the land and the bond he had so wanted with his mother seemed to only grow.
When the messenger from the US base in Sapporo came for him his heart broke. His father had been hospitalized and was under the care of the VA. One of his requests was to see his son. There was no hesitation only sadness when he left. Takezo felt reborn yet broken, experienced yet ignorant, he knew he would leave for his father, just as his mother had.
Returning to New York Takezo found his father’s home in ruins, a forgotten crime scene. The apartment was ransacked little remained from his memories. It had been less than a week from the time his father had called for him but Takezo found him comatose and a husk of the man he knew. Powerless he spent his days watching over his father waiting for a change; each night a fire burning inside crying out for revenge. On the fourth day his father woke long enough to see his son.
“Do good things.”
With those words he was gone as a veil lifted from Takezo. He had felt it in YuniTown the spirits of his ancestors whispering within him. As his father passed the last barrier of resistance faded along with him. He felt his mother and father united at last hold him. The fear was gone; the Snow Arrow would fly again. The father’s blessing had unlocked his mother’s gifts.
Personality: Kaze is ruled by his father’s words, do good things. It is what drives him to go forward to run and to help those he can.
Quote: “Run and the wind will follow.”
Tactics: Kaze is gifted with inhuman speed and dexterity. He uses this in combination with his martial training to deadly precision.

Re: Superheroes as firemen rather than cops?
A slippery slope...
In our last campaign one of the characters had a healing power for Body. After healing a downed officer at the scene of a burglary she received no end of bad press for not living at the Hospital healing everyone that walked through the door.
When the GM wanted to twist the screws he mentioned the Children's Burn Ward.

Character Information
Height: 1.85 m Hair: Black (Varies)
Weight: 72.00 kg Eyes: Green (Varies)
Appearance:
Background: Born and raised in Southern California Diane had a relatively normal childhood. That is for a spoiled brat. Her father, Karl Fielding had made his money early when cosmetic surgery went mainstream marring one of his clients Asian fashion model Qi. After multiple malpractice suits Qi filed for devoice. Because of the work done for her by Karl�s office they were able to settle out of work for an undisclosed sum.
When Diane was fifteen her life changed; while at a recruiting party for UCLA she found herself swept into a world of intrigue. A mathematician by the name of Albrecht Lancing was giving a symposium on probability manipulation and the human GNOME. Attacked by assassins from GEO, Albrecht found himself without guards and fatally wounded. With no one else to confide in he shared the prototype serum with Diane and begged her to get it to his contact within the CIA.
Narrowly escaping the campus alive, Diane found herself alone on the streets of LA. From there she made her way to Olympia, Washington for her rendezvoused with Albrecht�s contact. Betrayed she was forced to consume the serum to avoid it falling into the hands of GEO. She found herself transformed, stronger, and more agile, her consciousness expanding to the point her presence could expand even infect the minds of others.
Using her newly devolved powers she was able to escape again even locating a safe house and contact. Extracting samples of her blood the agency was only a recreate a rough version of the Albrecht serum. Six years later Diane had become one of the youngest covert operatives working for the CIA. Seven years after that and an affair with a British operative Diane was done.
The world was changing and the organization was changing with it. No longer confident with the intentions of the agency Diane arranged to go private. Although she has had to disavow her contacts with the CIA she is still open for contracts so long as they pass her scrutiny.
Personalilty: Tired of the endless internal deceptions Diane has grown cold but still wants to serve her country. Sometimes helping local authorities she often uses the name Emma Keating or Freeborn for the spandex types with local affairs.
Quote:
Tactics: The GNOME Manipulation Serum has given Freeborn expanded mental capacities. Allowing her to control the minds of others many often awed by her shear force of personality. Through her years with the CIA she has devolved a passive ability to mask her identity with her Psionic powers. In addition to her potent mental abilities Freeborn uses several additional devices including Nightvision Goggles and web grenades as well as a skin tight armor weave. Finally, a contact at the CIA has continued to supply Freeborn with capsules of the GM Serum X2 to help facilitate her freelance work.

Re: Islam replaces Christianity
Probably there would never have been the Crusades or the Dark Ages. Science probably would be more advanced than it is now and clothes would be more modest than they are now.
It's too late at night for me to think beyond that.
I wont question the latter, but to avoid the Dark Ages I believe that has more to do with the fall of the Roman Empire. An interesting change would be what if they the Romans had used bronze pipes for there water. (and thusly saved from theorized dementia in their latter rulers)
Give me my Pagan Gods to know that three brothers each have their kingdoms while one rules over all. While no mortal no matter how pure must suffer for his sins before reaching Elysium and finding paradise. Even if only for a short while.
Ahem.. anywho ... my point being if Christianity never takes off we still have a dominate religion throughout Europe. Although my guess is that Christianity spread so well because the cult had been elevated to religion at almost the perfect time.As Rome fell and conditions across Europe began to suck (to use the scientific term) there had to be some appeal to a religion that although you suffer now in the afterlife it is paradise eternal.

Re: adventure ideas?
Hope this helps…
In out last Champions game we had a scenario that involved a High Society function. As such the power armored player was there in her Secret ID. When the function was attacked she spent the first half of the combat running to her car to get into her suit.

Character Information
Height: 1.87 m Hair: Brown (Dyed in streeks of Blue and Black)
Weight: 73.00 kg Eyes: Blue
Appearance:
Background: Malcontent, sixteen and full of words to express his pain, Bernard Stillman poetry touched the goddess Poena. His words reminded her of those she had allowed to go unpunished. In a dream she came to Bernard, igniting the fires of his heart she filled him with the pain only a god could bear.
This was beyond the capacity for any mortal to bear and on that night Bernard Stillman died only to be reborn as the living embodiment of Poena�s suffering. Disgusted by her weakness she has turned her back on the bastard child setting him free on the world of man.
Personalilty: Taking the name Burn, Bernard stalks the cities trying to cope with the torrent of pathos that now festers within him. Driven by the few pleasures he could take the huts boil over laying waste all that are trapped by his anger. He has no doubts that someday he will be held accountable for each life that he has destroyed yet he cannot stop the pain. When it calls it must be released. Somewhere trapped inside is a child on the verge of madness. Compelled by the well of pathos he wishes only to be freed of his pain but lacks the strength to kill himself. Although he has tried attempts none have been thought out enough to truly finish him or take to long and eventually Burn will heal the wounds.

Re: Voodoo master
Ayizan is a female Lwa -- the first Priestess -- although it's also the name of the palm fronds used in the initiation process. Still' date=' as a name it's a little unusual for a male character.[/quote']You're right, I chose the name for the role Ayizan plays, loa of the marketplace and commerce, I didn't even think about gender. Doh!

Character Information
Height: 1.87 m Hair: Black
Weight: 111.00 kg Eyes: Brown
Appearance:
Background: Born in the Nord-Est province of Haiti Jean-Louis grew up living between two worlds. Scavenging what he could find as the land was stripped away and begging when he could find nothing on the streets of Fort-Libert�. Jean-Louis learned quickly that to get any respect one needs two things money or power. By the time he was fourteen Jean-Louis was working as a mule, moving cocaine through customers into the Dominican Republic.
A year later, a fight in his home village escalated and the blood of two other children was one his hands. Already wanted in Fort-Libert� for smuggling, his mother brokered a deal with an elder to hide her son. The next eight years were spent living as an indentured servant to the elder�s sister Marie LeCroix. An aid worker at the Saint Clare�s Woman�s Shelter Marie continued the old traditions as a medicine woman. Jean-Louis studied from her intently watching as a new world opened before him. Legends manifest as she placed blessings on babies and cursed those who crossed her.
During the turmoil of the 1986 uprising Jean-Louis escaped to America. Since then he has taken up old habits working as a local drug dealer and building a small gang devoted to him as students. Jean-Louis has worked for years to earn respect and demands it from those who follow him. The rumors of what becomes of those who cross him are often enough to keep even the most brash members of his gang in line.
Personalilty: Jean-Louis is hungry, respect, power, money he wants it all. He�s smart enough to know how to hide his desires but his fierce temper reveals it all. Working behind the scenes Jean-Louis is rarely on the street anymore letting his gang handle the grunt work. Aligned with a local cartel Jean-Louis is seen as a rising star, moving through the ranks.

Re: Super Technology Now.
Here are a few for you:
First I give you a nice plot line for a benevolent science experiment with the potential to go horribly horribly wrong. Yes Monkey's are involved.
Two Words Black Metal
How about a recoilless automatic rifle that fires balls of tungsten. With video
And lets just close it out with my fav and I know you're going to like this the smart minefield... All the fun of your standard minefield only you pick who gets exploded, no more need for mad cows.

Re: Power suggestions for a "Perfect" human being
Immunity to Imperfection
Joking aside, on a low level scale a few extra inches of Running, Swim and Leaping maybe a bit of mental defense as well as a few Overall Skill levels or Overall CSLs.
For a High Scale I would think things like Find Weakness, Danger Sense,
Lack of Weakness and the life supports like slowed breathing and diminished eating
Take it further and there's room for Armor or Damage Reduction, Regeneration and depending on the setting maybe something like Telepathy or other Psionic powers.

Re: Brick Collection (Spin off from Normal Proofing Bricks)
After reading Meed all i can say is.
We need more single celled heroes.

Re: Brick Collection (Spin off from Normal Proofing Bricks)
Most of the firearms stop at about a 2 and 1/2d6 RKA the heavy weapons even sit in that range just with auto fire. So I would think a "Normal Proof" would be between 12-14 for a Force Wall the problem is any attack that get's through that will like carry a ton of stun and more even more like the bulk of the hero's CP are invested in just that one power meaning if it get's theough that way you're in for real trouble.

Re: Normal-proofing your Bricks?
So here we go one A+ Force Wall
Golden Boy's Revenge 113 Force Wall (14 PD/14 ED), Hardened (+1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2), Invisible Power Effects (Fully Invisible; +1) (227 Active Points); Always On (-1/2), Self Only (-1/2)
On a 350 point character that's a third of the characters total points. There's also the question of Active Point Limits.

Re: Brick Collection (Spin off from Normal Proofing Bricks)
The variety of skills is nice with Enigma, a very nice follow through with the character’s background. Also, the fact that outside of his strength and defenses his other powers come from gear was a nice touch. Even though he’s a super class bruiser he still uses some real world style gear.
-
Re: Brick Collection (Spin off from Normal Proofing Bricks)
Here's the last brick I made for our Champions game, he's yet to see play but there's always next time.
I wanted to do something heavy defense but not necessarily strong so I decided on a variant Mystic/Brick with high Defenses but not necessarily Endurance and Stun. Mixing straight damage with a few more magical type tricks like the old Evil Eye.

Character Information
Height: 1.85 m Hair: Black
Weight: 86.00 kg Eyes: Blue
Appearance: When not protected by his Eldritch Shield and Wards Damon looks like most men. In his late twenties he often wears a suit that looks like it hasn't been pressed in weeks. Wearing a simple crimson shroud to hide his face with his wards active Apollyon’s body burns with arcane runes and sigils.
Original Source Image:
Background: A normal child with a curiosity for the strange once stumbled into a world he knew nothing about. The promise of power teasing him Damon found himself drifting deeper into the Occult. Joining a group of mystics known as the Coven he moved through their ranks studying arcane ritual and rites until he discovered their true goals. In his attempt to escape Damon was wounded and left for dead. As his final living act Damon struggled to hold onto life striking a bargain with the entity known as Abaddon.
Personality: Legally dead, Damon has created a new identity for himself as William McNamara. Taking the name Apollyon he now struggles to repay the debt he will now suffer for in the hereafter.
Tactics: With his powerful mystic shield and arcane wards Apollyon does not fear weaving though gangs of opponents. Through powerful curses and the power to instill foes with visions of the afterlife he renders his enemies virtually defenseless. Those he cannot cow into submission suffer from lashings from a whip of eldritch energy.

Designing a Speedster (Help Wanted!)
in Champions
Posted
Re: Designing a Speedster (Help Wanted!)
One way I would think this could happen would be gymnastics, the character goes for a dismount and finds herself hovering. Another would be skydiving, or basically any activity that gets you off the ground. Maybe she was a track and fielder who went for a long jump and it became a really long jump.
As for why does it work, she’s a mutant, this is a comic book inspired game, do you need a better explanation? How about she can polarize her bloodstream and manipulate magnetic fields to a minor extent and as of the start of the campaign she uses this to do speedster things.
- - -
I think the idea of using Flight, must be in contact with the ground works well. There seem to be two concepts going on so maybe you can merge the two by adding the hover boots initially but having the character grow out of them.
Expanding on the concept would help round out the character’s powers. That is to say does her speed offer her any kind of protection or offensive boost other than velocity attacks? From reading your post it seems like you have an idea of what you want her to look like. So how would you like to expand the concept to flesh her out? Would you like to see her as just using her powers for speed or does she have a battery of abilities based on her mutant powers?
