  4. Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I don't know what Tholian means, but I have created a few versions of the Green Centurion in HM3. Perhaps though it would be better to create one using Fabrica, for consistency.

  9. Re: The October Eight competition Professor Fortius and The Dark Duchess Professor Fortius was once a supervillain speedster known as Dash, but after an injury to his calf muscle he turned into a mastermind who had the ability to see the potential in others. With this knowledge he created a team of supervillains who followed his orders. The Professor is of average height with a slim build. He wears dark pants and a red sweater. His curly brown hair is beginning to bald and was sometimes called a bird's nest, even by members of his own team. The Dark Duchess is a German aristocrat. And she is a skilled sorceress. She was first approached by Professor Fortius to assist in a magical project, the taming of the entity referred to as El Diablo Fantastico. This was a huge success and they worked together many times. The Duchess always dresses in black clothes with a huge cowl which overshadows her sharp face. She has green eyes which burn brightly red when she is using her powers. Her hair is long and red, worn in a braid. The Professor and the Duchess fell in love, but they kept their romance a secret, because they feared it would destroy their villain's reputation. But now they have gone public. This fall we'll see th Great Supervillain Wedding. Professor Fortius will be wearing white, because the bride was unwilling to accept any other colour for her wedding dress than pure black.
  10. Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine all the names are okay, except for one: Schwanenweiß ; sounds like a colour for your home office
  11. Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Thanks guys. Here's another one: Constantinus is the chieftain of a jungle dwelling tribe. He serves as a warrior for Dagon in exchange for the safety of his people. He is intelligent and likes to read a good book, has a good sense of humour and is a fun guy to be around. On the other hand he is quick to anger and very violent when enraged. Constantinus follows every command of Dagon, though sometimes he has allusions of grandeur and sees himself as an equal to Lord Dagon, calling himself King Constantinus. He ususally gets punished severely for that.

My name is Raoul Ortega Vasques, but they call me La Cucaracha, Cockroach. They always called me La Cucaracha. It started way back in school at the age of nine or ten. I always was smaller than the other kids and since my parents were mere peasants, I had to help in the fields every day. I had two older brothers and a younger sister. She was born when I was six years old. Unfortunately she was born with Down-Syndrome. From that day on she was the center of attention of my parents. To pay for her medical bills my father left home and crossed the U.S. border in order to find work and send the money back to his family. This worked for the next nine years. One day we received a letter. Our father had been involved in an accident and was confined to a wheelchair. As soon as the U.S. authorities found out that he was an illegal alien, they brought him back to Mexico. We now had one more mouth to feed and no income anymore. My older brothers, twins, found work on a fishing boat and so could support the family. But that was not enough. I had to leave school at the age of fifteen and find work. I was too small and too weak to work as a fisherman, but there was no other work. I was a good gardener though and in the U.S. I could make good money as a gardener for the rich people, so my father told me. I tried to cross the border seven times, but I was caught twice and had to retreat five other times. I just couldn't get into the land of the free and the rich. A friend of mine saw that I needed a job deperately. He introduced me to some people, who ran the only business, taht was really prospering in Mexico, drug trafficking. I never wanted anything to do with that, but the money convinced me to do it. At first I only seved as an errand boy. Later I also helped to prepare the cars which smuggled the drugs into the States. I worked for the cartel for almost three years when our boss got into trouble with another drug-trafficking organization. Things got worse and worse. Even I was handed a gun and I couldn't just say "No!". That would have been unacceptable to them and put me even deeper into trouble if not danger. One of our drivers was shot by our enemies shortly before an important transport. He was a small guy and we looked very similar, so my boss decided that it would be me who would bring the drugs into the U.S. this time. He knew that I was not happy with the whole business and had recognized that lately I had become very nervous and tense. So he decided it was time to let me go. If I brought the truck to its destination I would be given a false ID with U.S. residency and 10.000 dollars. I cannot explain how excited I was. This was the chance to fulfill my dream. I jumped at the chance. The border control was the most nerve-wrecking thing I had ever experienced, but due to unexplicable luck or a bribed officer, I made into the land of hope. That afternoon I delivered the truck. A guy handed me a package and said I was free to go and that I should go somewhere safe and stay away from the border and the drug business. I ran away and rented a hotel room. I sat down on the bed and opened the package. With the money and a new ID everything would change for me. As I opened the damn thing, green smoke arose from it and I inhaled most of it. When I awoke I lay flat on the floor and felt nothing but pain. They wanted me dead. That was for sure. But I was not dead. Not yet. The pain was overwhelming though. I couldn't think, I could barely walk, but I needed help. I stumbled out of my hotel room across the parking lot and onto the street. A truck hit me with full speed. I was knocked across the street. That had to be the end but I still lived. Not a single bone in my body was broken. The pain was still the same as before the accident. Was I dreaming? The driver of the truck saw me standing up. He hit pedal to the metal and screamed: "F***ing mutants!" Guess that's what I had become. Quote: "Soy una cucaracha enojada y fumando marihuana." Personality: Raoul still is a shy young boy. He is only 22. And he knows that it is not the right thing to do to hang around with supervillains. But on the other hand he sees no alternative for himself. He needs lots of money to support his family and to pay for the drugs that he uses regularly. His powers cause so much pain in his body that he cannot live without drugs anymore. He has become an addict. His addiction and his status as a supervillain have caused a massive feeling of guilt. Raoul became depressive and used more drugs to counter that, but he only got into another vicious circle. Most of the time now La Cucaracha is so stoned that he just does what the others tell him to do. Powers Tactics: La Cucaracha's body is extremely elastic and can be stretched to great length. He is not a good fighter though and tends to leave the action to others. His specialty is infiltration. He can enter almost every building and hide in the shadows. If there is a mousehole or an airpipe he will get in. In a physical fight he cannot do much to harm most other superhumans, but he can take a beating. His rubbery body absorbs almost every damage done by blunt attacks, be it fists, boulders of rock or whole trucks, he'll survive it. Thsi doesn't work against energy attacks though and he will avoid such opponents. If necessary La Cucaracha can engage in a fight against a brick. He'll just take a pounding, so the enemy is occupied and can be taken on later by the others. Appearance: Raoul is rather small (5'7'') and very slim. He has dark, short hair and the skin complexion of a typical Mexican. His facial features show that he is a descendent of the indigenous people.

  19. Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I don't really know what a jailbait sorceress should look like. I created two versions, one with the cloak and one without, a little more youthful/sexy.
  20. Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I didn't like the camouflage pattern. Here is what I came up with.
