He just has no compunctions doing it. **As in he won't harm her in any way, physical, emotional or psychological, as long as she's in his precence but he won't go out of his way to stop others from doing so again, as long as she not near him. She is a big girl after all. History: Tai was a failed Ninja-Viper experiment. His training and skills were gained mostly by his Psycometry, thus by accident. Also the Hudson City Cell was plagued with outside problems, always under the threat of exposure, they were always undersiege and therefore sloppy. Sadly, the death of a former lover at the hands of another cellmate drove Tai to attempted murder of the entire cell, it was only due to severe brainwashing and new personality by a hired psychic were they able to control him, as chemicals never worked. They planned to have him infiltrate a super teen hero academy in Bay city, but were wiped out, killed almost to a man before he could be implanted and used. The plan semi-worked, as he was picked up by the Academy and spent 4 years under their care. That personality was a heroic young man with a one-sided crush on a fellow mutant, a girl by the name of IceFire. The other survivor tried to activate him, planning on revitalizing the original mutant Viper cell, but got killed by Tai, for his hand in the death of his lover. IceFire witness it, and was also getting involved with the survivor unknowing that he was a VIPER cell agent. The subsequent arrest and adventure trying to get him to prison, sprung him and he disappeared into the underworld. He now works as a freelance merc, both hero and villain to whomever pays well, and satisfies his new personality's requirements of 'fairness'. Powers/Tactics: He is a covert operative, able to do multiple jobs from basic bodyguard, theft or retrieval, kidnapping, assassinations as well as any heroic undertakings depending on the contract. He relies on the superskills he's picked up from earlier 'readings', as he gains the whatever skills as long as he keeps the object on him for about a month, or from whatever new item he has picked up with better skills psychically imprinted on them. His body is always healthy, he doesn't need to maintain it with exercise or the like, and his immunities are a side effect of that. Campaign use: My serious version of Deadpool. I just don't have the wacky style of humour. Sorry. Apperance: 5' 10" 187lbs of sculpted muscle, usually clad in a modified Ninja-VIPER costume. Instead of the Green-Gold scheme, he chose an Indigo-Black one. His entire suit is his 'utility-belt' with pouches and pockets strewn about his entire person. His helmet looks like a modified 'Snake Eyes' G.I.Joe action figure one. Personality: Still trying to figure it out. His mind was cut in two, and a fake personality implated. When Simon Templar of his original VIPER Cell tried to reactivate the original, the stronger willed new one tried to fight. Instead it was a merge, and a brand new person was born. One that still doesn't know what he wants.

Re: Gladiatrix: Character for review.

Re: Gladiatrix: Character for review. Yeah, this is suspect. I think she wouldn't have any scars if she's that hot.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I like the Archer best. Keep it up!

Re: Foxbatmite I wish I could rep, but have to spread some 'round. You know how it goes.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Now THERE'S a character I haven't seen in a LONG time.

Re: Superhero Legacy 2: He took my old ID! MACH 5: "Dude, if you want to run around in a tin can that carries enough firepower to match a military interceptor? Go nuts, but you shouldn't use a name that's about 20 years old." "Tank" Matherson, not likely, as it's a nickname, not a code name. And Tai would just shrug and change his to something else.

Re: Superhero Legacy. Passing on a Name Yeah, pretty much. The closest I got is a Power Armour Pilot, which is designed specifically for his frame.

Re: Your PCs might be Underpowered if... Foxy takes EVERY superhero seriously. Otherwise why would he do what he does? Except your team. He feels sorry for them.

Re: Your PCs might be Underpowered if... ... Foxbat doesn't take YOU seriously.

Re: Fighting Styles Dante not strong like supermen??? This is the guy who in his first showing gets STABBED in his chest with a GREAT HONKING SWORD and PULLS HIMSELF UP OFF IT, RUNNING FROM BLADE TO HILT! In the third game, he let's himself get stabbed by about 7 sharp scythes and FIGHTS the baddies without missing a beat, and that's a PREQUEL. Dude, if ANYTHING Dante is near indestructible, and probably has 40 STR, minimum. In his HUMAN form. If that makes him weak, what kinda Supers are you running with???

Re: Unidentified Villains Was the Green Dragon ever remade for 5e? I remember seeing the name, but all I have are 4e books with him in it. He was a Martial Artist with a hatred agaist Seeker.

Re: Not "Secret", not "Public", just "Identity" This.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread Repeatedly. Poison, dude. You can't rush art. It'll be done when it's done, and we'll oooh and ahhh over it as always.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread

Re: What does 'Magic' mean to you? It depends on the setting, really. In a Fantasy setting (High, Low, Superhero, whatever) it's a power source and it's own 'thing'. In a Superhero game it's a power source and special effect, nothing more.

Re: Superhuman women and normal women I avoid TvTropes. I get lost in there for WEEKS on end.

Re: Who is your Taskmaster? I'm stealing this, but I'm stealing the Spy Factory name from from another thread. I like it!

Re: The Joker Scenario To expound: MACH 5 would destroy the Monster without a second thought. 'It' might be sentient, but it's not 'alive', meaning it has no rights under the U.S. constitution (In his universe.) Caine, assuming he was out cold after a hard battle, Hal (The pilot) would be silently debating what to do, all the while his TIO (As he calls her, Telemetry and Intelligence Officer, she handles the sensors on the suit via satellite linkup) would probably be telling him not to. He'd probably apologize and incinerate Caine's head with a plasma pulse from his gauntlet weapons. He's an Ex-Army Engineer who has been in combat situations, she has not. Tank Matherson, another ex-army vet but somewhat naive. If this is his first encounter with Caine, he'd turn him over to the cops. Same for the next 3 times he escapes. The fourth time, a lot of soul searching and snaps his neck. Monster would be crushed into a small bundt cake like shape on the first meeting. Not sure what Tai would do, as he's something of a mercenary a la Marvel's Taskmaster. But he's got something of an identity crisis going, and has no real 'friends', so he has no attachments and wouldn't be fazed by Caine. Same with the Monster, but he'd likely destroy that thing.

Re: The Joker Scenario I had all of one character that had a CvK for a little while (Long story involving multiple personalities), the other two... Well, Tank would have one. But in all three cases, the Monster would be no more. I can't say dead, because it wasn't alive to begin with. It doesn't apply to a CvK. However, if it's Caine, then... There has to be a limit before the police get involved and assume you're his partner in crime. Every time he gets put away, he escapes and only your team (Or solo hero) captures him? Come on. In fact, they'd probably ship him out and have him executed. Where as most of my characters... Well, if the crime is horrific enough (And we're talking mutilation and murder going in the hundreds of victims) then... *Blam, Blam* and then another bullet to make sure he STAYS dead. Either that, or cripple him to the point where he CAN'T do it again. Doesn't matter if I have a 20pt. CvK, at some point, you have to realize that Caine will NEVER feel remorse, never fear capture and will be back until someone stops him permanently. That's when the fun stuff begins, and pathos and character development.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. MORE MORE! MUST HAVE MORE! Great work, Storn!

Re: Code vs Killing, but Gods a little fuzzy about kneecaps. Don't look at me. I personally think that beating a baddie up to make him confess, or threatening to drop him from a great height are in genre tropes, and I have no issues on it. It's those who like their games a little more 4 colour that seem to have this extreme view. Why can't there be a middle ground?? Oh, well. Time for me to get out while the gettin's good. Ciao, kids.

Re: Superhuman women and normal women I stand corrected, Sue Storm AKA The Invisible Woman officially 5' 6" tall.

Re: Poison's Champions Art Thread I never really liked the Blue Beetle, but... Killing him off in that lame fashion... No one deserved that. Ted Kord, rest in peace.

Re: Code vs Killing, but Gods a little fuzzy about kneecaps. And it validates my use of the term. Check Definition 4 of torture. You don't have to touch someone to torture them.
