  1. As part of a game that a friend is going to start, using Champions, I re-created an ancient character of mine, Grimknight. He was originally a Champions character, then a Mutants & Masterminds character, and is currently a Bulletproof Blues character. I could not find his old Champions character sheet, so I re-created him using points approved by the GM of the game that will be starting. Maybe you'll find it interesting.

    Diggs Tyler is a handsome, bald, black man in his early thirties. He typically dresses in tailored suits or expensive casual wear in the latest style. When he adopts the persona of Grimknight, he wears a non-reflective black body suit, black full head mask, and sturdy black boots and gloves. Over this attire he wears a hooded cloak, the Mantle Of Arawn. In daylight the cloak appears to be pale grey, while at night the cloak is an opalescent white.

     

    Diggs Tyler was a private investigator for several years while he worked his way through law school. (Most private investigators work either for insurance companies or lawyers, so this was a natural match.) After graduation, he became a prosecutor in the New York County District Attorney's Office, where he has served the borough of Manhattan with distinction.

     

    Diggs Tyler is friendly, engaging, and fun-loving. While he may come across as a bit of a Casanova when dealing with the opposite sex, he is never overbearing or disrespectful. He is the flame, not the moth. His years of working as a private investigator have made him skilled at forming a bond with people he's just met and getting them to open up to him. This has served him well in the District Attorney's Office. As Grimknight, Diggs is far less friendly, using his powerful presence and his skill at reading people to intimidate and interrogate suspected wrongdoers.


    Tyler is a descendant of Gwynn Ap Nudd, King of the Faeries and the Otherworld (also called Annwn). He was not aware of his heritage until he was selected to be the next Knight of the Summerland due to the mysterious death of the previous Knight of the Summerland. However faint the blood connection may be, Tyler is a faerie by birthright, which permits him to wear and use the Mantle of Arawn, a powerful faerie artifact.

     

    Grimknight also carries a number of useful but ordinary pieces of equipment, such as an IR camera, first aid kit, and a radio.

     

  2. I originally had the character have a Multipower, but the number of slots was so large, I changed it to a Variable Power Pool. Then I discovered (re-discovered, actually, since I am sure I used to know it) that Variable Power Pools cost a huge amount if you can change them like you can a Multipower. So now it's a Multipower again.

    It's always difficult to rate a character in a vacuum, as it always depends on the campaign baselines and style of game the GM is running. If there are other characters available to compare and contrast with, it would be more viable to give some build feedback. 

     

    I can see some places I might squeeze a few points or tweak a bit if I were in a min maxing mood, but I like that you have a strong concept and are going for it which is much more important in my opinion. 

     

    OMG! I would be so grateful for any suggestions you might make! I might use them. I might not. But I am sure I would learn something!

     

    As far as the milieu of which this character is a a part... https://drive.google.com/open?id=11FnF38wg7XqrJoIPLDYAxSxdgP2VlhxS

  4. It's been a long, long time since I have played Champions, but a friend wanted to start a game, and I figured I'd make up a new character. So here she is: Shocker. I had fun writing her up; maybe you'll find her interesting.

    Character sheet: https://www.blackgate.net/gaming/Shocker_(bblackmoor).pdf

     

    She's a DJ/Electronica composer/performer who got electrical powers after an accident on stage at an illegal rave (as a result of some sketchy yet life-saving experimental treatments she got as a kid -- treatments her twin sister did not survive).

     

    For the outfit, I was aiming for Daft Punk meets Tron meets Sith lord.

     

    Shocker has used the name "Shocker" since she was 18 and performed with "Future Shock" when she was living in Reykjavik (she's from Grand Rapids, Michigan, originally). Before that, she generally went by her initials, "CT". She hates her given name, Candi, and hasn't used it since she left home at 16, "Because my parents are trailer park pieces of shit who gave me and my sister stripper names."
