All they know is that she has been living in the swamps with her sdtrange family. Then an (Insert anti super powered faction) team showed up and started shooting. So she ran. In the confusion she landed on a wanted to talk to list, but catching her is hard, and her distrust makes it harded. Can a team of heroes cut through the confusion, and give her a normal life. According to the book, she has super speed twice, so I gave her a base run of 40". This makes her faster in combat than anyone out there. Otherwise she is Tabula Rasa. Depending on what the PCs do will direct her development.

Again another link to a possible space excursion. And he's dangerous. Between his abilities and his equipment, he is versatile. But as a former policeman, where are those background skill. I can see where he went bad, cause as a policeman, he obviously never learned the basics.

Many worry about him, as they feel soon he will carry the wrong thing to the wrong people. If only someone could talk to him to be more careful, as he could be an example of someonewith superpowers who uses them outside of crime or crime fighting! Seriously, he would be the poster child for this school. Get him, Antarctica, Speed Metal and Mach 2 (Forthcoming) and you have the beginnings of a super school. And not all will go into fighting crime.

He appears out of nowhere, to aids those in need. He then disappears. Right now he is doing penance in jail for a crime only he knows he committed. Many feel that it is a ruse and that something is going to happen soon there that will need Galahad's particular skills. For now they watch and wait! Because Galahad never does anything without a reason! I just changes up the reason he's in jail. I thought the mind control/ "I MUST HAVE SECRETLY LIKED IT" angle was so prudish. This makes him more proactive, which suits the disappearing until needed aspect much better. Also, I like the idea that good has a plan as well. Lawful good is NOT awful stupid. Power wise he's a cool take on the Ancient Master category. It actually makes the category more wide open as it moves it world wide and not just the far east.

He would go on message boards to deliberately anger people by taking unpopular opinions. Unforunately one of his opponents took the rivalry a bit too far and sent Simon a package, that promptly blew up in his face. He should have died, but instead gained super powers. Soon he paid a visit to said package maker and reduced him to ash, then proceeded to make a list of people he thought deserved to die and started going down the list. Problem is the list keeps getting longer. But that's OK. Simon likes killing. Lokes it a lot! I am sorry, I just can't get into this NPC. He really comes across as a whiny, petulant, baby. In any group I ran, he would be hated and my players would rebel if I brought him out more than twice.

But it didn't work, well not as intended. After a long sickness, latent super powers manifested allowing for great control of earth and vibration. After a feverish bout of supercharged abilities, his fever broke as did his overcharged abilities. But the rush of using his powers remained, and he longs for a similar rush, no matter how many get hurt in the process. So he does villainy as it allows him to let loose without any pesky regulations and laws. An OK NPC, but really nothing special. His powers make him cool and that is about it.

The guy performed some black market additions and soo Upjohn was sporting some serious bionic abilities. So he hired himself as muscle to first pay off his debt and then pad his account. But eventually he want to come back and settle things with his former boss! Well every book needs a Cyclops homage. And he's actually decent. Nice backstory, good skills, and some plot hooks to lure in the players. Add the fact he has good attacks and defenses makes for a cool mook!

But for Danforth, designing wasn't enough. Using it was much more fun. So stealing some designs and material, he built his own suit and began using it to stage crimes. As he gained money, he upgraded his suit. He makes good money as a breach specialist for groups brought together for special jobs. Remember I lamented the sameness of the Iron Brigade. Well the last two NPCs show what you can do with some creative science. This is Super powered comics. Regular science doesn't enter it. This is a guy who will drive groups nuts trying to put him down. He is a classic tank from MMOs, not a lot of offence, but defense at max. He gets stuck in and take.s and dishes out damage. This was a cool build, and I can see him being used in many a campaign. Note the damage reduction should be physical not energy.

A sealed crate with a battle suit inside. When he put it on he found it worked and immediately out it to use. Paolo was no stranger to the seemier side, and with his boat about to be impounded, he put the suit to good use as a burgurlar and high flying thief. But as he gained confidence he also gained enemies and a fight with a hero damaged the suit beyond his ability to repair. Then the corp that made the suit contacted him. Apparently it was stolen by some rivals and lost. But now that he had found it, they made him an offer. Regular maintenance and upkeep in return for a portion of his earning. Also occasionally, he would do the occasional job for them for free. Since then Paolo has swept the skies and Cormorant. I added a bit to the backstory so that it was logical that a guy like this could keep the suit and it NOT fall apart. And the novel use of a super power in a battle suit ( at least for HU) added to the coolness. Wings and the weapons to strike at range. All he needs to be Champions ready is better stats.

Finally he developed a serum that could increase a human body's energy generating capacity 1000 times. But to prove it he needed a human subject. But since no legitimate group would allow such a test on ahuman, he decided to try it on himself. It worked, but the genetic rewiring sffected him mind, and not for the better. He ran into the night, calling himself Coppertop. And he has made a name for himself as a theif and muscle for hire who doesn't ask questions and does what ever is neccessary. Well if you must have a misguided scientist, make him nasty. Mega status with AFS metal and AFS Electricity makes him truely fearsome. Ranged, HTH. And a real bad attitude. This guy should have PC hating him in short order!

Then the 100 oni came calling on a debt and took it in blood. He swore revenge, and dedicated his life to swordsmanship. After he mastered all the skills, he went hunting. Since then he has waged s grim shadow war that can only end with one side or other dead. He looks forward to the fight. Decent backstory, and the different HTH due to taking something from Ninjas and Superspies made for an interesting character. If you want NINJA, then this is your got to hook. In fact in the Century Station main book, there is a ninja clan operating. 'Nough said. Power wise, he's a standard samurai build, but with a skill called power block and another called block strike combo. So I made a trigger HKA. I would also add a second trigger for a HTH attack if he uses something like a bokken. It is actually pretty cool, and makes him hasty in HTH!

But she got better, real better, and the British government soon put her to work for the war effort. Since then she has been on the front lines: WW2, the Cold War, the War on Terror, the War on Drugs. But it is wearing on her. All her friends and close family are dead, and the world has become stranger and less familiar. But now she hears that remenants of the Old Nazi party are trying to set up a secret group to bring themselves back into power. So now she travels the world, looking for clues to see if there is any truth to the rumour! She expensive, but at her level and with her powers that was a given. She's her own legacy character. And she's got plot hooks galore. If your planning a Fourth Reich, then here is the person to lead you to them. Also she has personal issues that players could possibly help her with. I could see her remenissing with others who are long lived // Immortal about the good old days. If I have an issue is her skill list. WOW, she didn't get a college / university degree in all that time. Even at part time studies, she should have a lot more skills. I can also see her as a mentor a team or two over the years. So a very cool character who if used judiciously could be a great helper to a team.

They escaped with a small fortune and settled in Zanzibar. There, with some shrewd investments, the fortune grew and so he was born into a life of luxury. So as an idle dilitant he took up hunting. And he liked it. But soon he became jaded. It was too easy. So he went to hunting men. Eventually he graduated to supers. Safe on his estate from any prosecution, he comes out periodically to hunt someone. All that is known is that he doesn't give up. EVER! So I did this character because I read the short story he is based on. So lets see what we get. Well we get a man that is a lot more superficial than the suave villain of the short story. That man was a cultured monster. This is a rich thug. Maybe it is a role playing thing. But still his background gives him skills he should have due to upbringing. Now in a low powered real world campaign, he's dangerous. But when compared to some of the NPC (Like the one coming next) he is just to much paste. And his attitude makes it so he will be taken care of ASAP. But if you want a PC that will push your heroes buttons, here's your man!

In the stress, her powers erupted. She was insturmental in saving many lives. But after the war, she was left directionless. She is veering toward villainy to support herself, but is unsure about it. But she knows she is not cut out to be a hero. If someone could just steer her in the right direction! Her high damage and defenses are due to use of Manipulate Kinetic Energy, which she uses to increase to power of her ice bolt and entangle. Add the large Dam Red to Physical attacks and she is ideally suited to a defense tactic. Otherwise she is a normal. And her backstory gives ripe hooks for a redemption story and someone going on to live a normal life despite the powers. All she needs is an education and a direction. Maybe a school for super teenagers... Naw who would go for that?

Fearing for himself he took off, which just spread the devastation. When He calmed down, he realized what great powers he had and decided to use them to become rich. Thus Afterburner was born. Since then he has become known as a dependable muscle and leader. Now he want to lead his own team, and lead his own criminal gang. So he's recruiting. Well he's decently powerful, but that is a result of Mega status. But the combo of AFS Fire and Sonic Flight gives him great positioning and attack/defense. In HU terms, he's got serious power. In a Champions campaign he's average. But it would be easy enough to upgrade him to mastermind status. The fact he wants to bring his own team together is a plot hook that GMs can use. And as muscle he is effective and dependable. So he's serviceable.

Instead, in the cruel civil war that beset his land, he became a bully, until a bigger bully recruited him into his army. A revolution needs money, so Sgoro went to the US to steal funds for mis General. Now that his General is in charge, Abatwa has been cut loose and disavowed as a rogue element from his country. The betrayal has hurt Abatwa, but also forced him to re-evaluate his priorities. Now he would like to become the champion his people deserve, if he can only figure out how. I almost didn't do this NPC until I really looked at the powers and personality and realized just how dangerous he can be. Shrinking, high str, fast movement and some spell like powers. Yep, he's nasty, and the back story again has a bunch of hooks. Also he is similar to an old PC a friend ran in an old campaign called Quickling FBI. A small fast FBI agent. I can see similarities. And he doesn't even have to fight to be dangerous. That is a bonus for me. I like him!

While they search for parts and equipment, they have encountered many of CS inhabitants, good and bad. So they try to navigate the situation, hoping to do good and get off the planet before Alpha Prime notices them, and before their former masters make it to earth. Like Psynapse Bravo is versatile, and versatility costs. He has a decent powers, but almost standard for psionic characters in HU. So powerwise he's good, with a good set of ranged attacks, which this team needs badly. But he can be scarry HTH as well. I see him hanging back and sniping and supporting his team mates. Personality, he is a bit of a loose cannon. He likes to fight a bit too much. And as with the rest, he has hooks with off world slavers. So all in all the Fearless are interesting, if you want to introduce a space component to your campaign, they are a great in. SO next up the Solos of Gramercy Island. I will be presenting them as if they are still free, as I feel that allows greater use of them in a campaign!

While they search for parts and equipment, they have encountered many of CS inhabitants, good and bad. So they try to navigate the situation, hoping to do good and get off the planet before Alpha Prime notices them, and before their former masters make it to earth. SO according to his backstory, he got his name from his enemies. It is due to the fact that he never seems to give up even after taking immense amounts of punishment. And then they give him multiple lives. UMMMMMMM, Nope. What your describing is invulnerability. So I changed it up a bit to more properly fit the background. Now he's nasty. He can wade into a mass of enemies and emerge hale and whole. Add a pair of energy swords and you got someone capable of dealing some nasty damage as well. He's basically the brick of the team. Personality wise, he's OK. His rebellion against slavers should hit a chord with PCs and could lead to a space campaign. Or at least making earth unpalatable to slaver raids. So an OK character!

So now the Fearless. Alien freedom fighters stranded on earth. They try to keep a low profile, but can't turn a blind eye to a bad situation. If it continues, maybe they won't want to leave.

Liberator is the most normal of the bunch. He's just a highly skilled HTH expert. with some cool toys. The Anti Gravity ring is something I gave to all three. It gives a reason for them to be in many out of the way places. They keep the rings secret and don't use them in combat unless it is imperative to do so! So, Liberator seems a decent leader. And he's got some great plot hooks in him.

She was happy, until her father died in an ambush. In her grief, she has lashed out at the world, building devices for whoever can pay. It is her way of getting revenge on the world, because if she can't be happy, neither can anyone else! Recently our school did a play, "The Addams Family - A Musical" (Aside, it is VERY FUNNY). One line is from Pugsly to Wednesday "Seriously, you have issues!" That describes Archemedes. She is the classic 'I do this for revenge on society thet...." Whatever! Again, she's more interesting as background than as an opponent. But she does have a lot of plot hooks. Of all the members of the Workshop, she's would be the one to get the most face time/interaction. Build wise, I think she is the coolest of the three, but that is mainly because the Analytical Hardware is just that. Computer makes you like Garcia from Criminal Intent. Great in your 15 minutes, then..... Weapons is too much like Hunter/vigilante Vehicle is limiting. What do you do out of your vehicle? Analytical gets the best toys in my opinion.

With his mechanical flare, he souped up his rides and put hisself out as a transporter. Then on a job gone wrong, he almost died, and so since then he has concentrated on the supply side. You want a mean machine, with the latest gadgets, you call Overdrive! So like the last NPC, its not so much what he can do, but what he can supply that makes him interesting. If it is in the Complete Vehicles guide, he can probably build it. A good guide is as part of his displays he has a Motorcycle, a Sportscar, a Semi-truck, and a Helicopter. Seriously these guys are Dr. McQuark's SSS&G with some ethical problems. You should never have to fight this guy, but if you do, he'll come at you with a BIG Vehicle, that has LOTS of weapons and LOTS of armour. And he will certainly pick the time and place for an ambush. Away from his vehicle he's basically a normal. So again, I like what they can offer a campaign, more that I like them as an enemy!

He mover to Century Station to get a part of the action as well as demonstrate some of his weapon designs. Soon people were calling him not only as some extra muscle but as a weapon supplier. Then he made contact with Archemedes and Overdrive and started the workshop. As he is always on edge, he got the nickname Hairtrigger, and has since used it as his handle! So all his equipment is built using Energy Blast, but if you want a more lethal version change everything but the Knuckle Dusters to RKA. This is the Hong Kong Kid, with the same attitude, but much better tactics. He wears better armour, has multiple weapons to handle differing situations, some items for HTH situations (they do happen) and seemingly a more mature attitude to combat in general. Anyway, he's the weapons designer (except for energy weapons, WHY?) and the main contact with clients. To me the combat is secondary. This is a group that gives a reason why the colour gangs all of a sudden getting real cheap energy weapons, or motrocycles with machine guns. in that they supply that role well. And if the heroes decide to try and find the physical workshop, and raid it, they could be a big surprise with what they can do in combat. All in all I find the group interesting, not because of what the members can do in combat, but the background they can supply to background!

So the Workshop is a three person organization, your go-to people for all those cool gadgets and vehicles for the villain on the rise, or the organization that needs to get a few pieces to fill out the inventory. The members are Hairtrigger - weapons expert Overdrive - vehicles of all types Archemedes - armour and non weapon devices.

So next up the Workshop, criminal suppliers to the underworld. (Sigh I miss Dr. McQuark and the SSS&G) and the Fearless, alien freedom fighters and heroes trying to get off earth.
