While he was attending military school, Geoffrey Tucker watched his parents die. That's actually not surprising, because the whole nation watched it happen on broadcast television. His father, a renouned diplomat, had been taken hostage, and murdered by an extremist group in Southern Europe. Geoffrey was, understandably, traumatized. He began walking around campus holding a photograph of his parents, a habit that grew into a psychological dependence. He began training in a variety of military arts, preparing for the day he would make the terrorists of the world pay for what they did to his family and to his country. When he was 25, he stole a top secret military chopper, and disapeared. He began to attack known terrorist bases, using his prodigious talent to deadly effect. He also turned into something of a pirate. When he attacked a drug cartel or killed an arms smuggler, he used the 'spoils of war' to further his cause, including a dose of experimental super-soldier serum. Over the years, other men, mostly former special ops members who felt the government lacked the spine to do what was necessary, began to join him, greatly aiding his quest for justice.

Re: Character Posting Game: Restart I was just chipping away at "The Dark Patriot". He's a patriotic terrorist fighter (ala captain america) that likes to opperate "outside the rules" and be moody, like batman. Hoo, boy, Those points add up fast. I was gonna give him a neat gun and super sheild, but, um, I'm already waaay over 350. here, I'll post what I got, but I need to run. I'll fix him later.

Re: Memory And Flash? Interesting comments, especially

Re: Ninja Hero Review At ENWorld Am I the only one bothered by the fact that this is a published review, and yet displays the grammatic grace of a one-legged duck? Maybe the author did this for free, in which case it's fine. Who'd bother proof-reading something that didn't really matter? yeah, that's gotta be it.

Re: Fiddling With 6th - Skills (first of ??) All I can say is "How long before Steve puts out The Ultimate Skill?" Skills really are underused in many campaigns, and this would help counter that.

Re: Character Posting Game: Restart What was I thinking? Well, I kept it as vague as I could to give everyone their freedom, but if you want specifics . . . I originally thought of a guy with lots of skills with an activation roll (he has to sort though a lot of memories), throw in some martial arts, mental shape shift, Presentience (sees their memories) and variable psych limitations (one day he has one ancestors cleptomania, the next hydrophobia, or hatred of frenchies, etc). He occasionally slips and starts speaking ancient tongues. Once in a great while, he may forget who he is and believe he is a viking marauder or some such thing (berzerk). He might be able to do this to other people. I envisioned him taking their pulse (the blood-ancestory mythography) and doing a presentience or something. Which is why he has a dog that has a similar schtick (he's unlocked all the dogs memories, so there's someone in the world who can empathise with him). This is a character I've mused about, and never felt like stating out.

Re: Character Posting Game: Restart I have no Idea what a 'Xorn Warstrider' is. Sounds like Terran Empire? I just thought this up. Archaeologists in northern India have uncovered long snake-like mecha. Until the alien inscriptions are deciphered, they are being called "Naga Sahana", sanskrit for 'Mighty Snakes'. The controls are extremely sensitive, as the things appear to have been intended for beings with reflexes far more honed than our own. Any human attempting to pilot one is advised to install a governor on the controls.

Re: Towel - Shout out? Well, the books writeup of a towel was a very low-level towel, such as might be found on our own mostly-harmless world. A more highly developed towel can be soaked in nutrients to sustain its bearer like a field ration. It could be made wet and coiled to form a weapon known as a 'rat tail'. It can be draped over ones head to avoid detection by the Ravenous Beast of (I forget where), which believes that if you can't see it, it can't see you. I also loved the "Sonic Screwdriver" Shout out to the Dr. Who series.

Re: Memory And Flash? My concept was a memory supressing drug. Throw in a trigger (as soon as the last injection wears off) and this'd be a fun toy for a secret orginization.

1) Flash is a Sense-Affecting Power. 2) Clairsentience is a Sensory Power. 3) Eiditic Memory is built as a form of Clairsentience. Does this mean Memory can be thought of as a sense in general? Can I flash it? What happens if it is flashed?

Re: Authority, we just need a few good men. I'm really only familliar with marvel, or more accurately, spiderman. I have a few thoughts though. . . Tony Stark has already dabbled in politcal matters, so I could see Iron Man getting involved. Do you know how many Lawyers sit in Congress? Daredevil could get into this. Captain America . . . I'm not sure. He does have strong political views.

Re: Cheese Check Well, the sonic booms thing would require another power writeup, obviously. The last time I wrote up a speedster, I went with NCM. It was just more convenient than megascale was. (hoody hoo! I've hit 500 posts!)

Re: This clown deserves a Writeup. He carries Bowling balls, meat cleavers, torches, hatchets and chainsaws (for juggling) He has sleight of hand 14- (he knows lots of majic tricks) He has 5 vehicles (2 big trucks and one little clown car, a unicycle, and stilts) He has a buffalo he rides, and a small dog that knows lots of tricks (2 followers)

Dave Barry linked me to this. I'm thinking he'd make an amusing adversary for the Black Harlequin.

Re: Silliest Disadvantage Ever The distinctive features with taste thing would be interesting in a character with a cassanova-like character.

Character A has Power X with the Usable by other advantage (+1/4 level). Usually, that means Power X could be used on a 100 kg object (the weight of 1 man in hero terms). However, Character A is nowhere near that (due to shrinking or physical disadvantage: small size). Can Character A still use Power X on a 100 kg object, or only objects her weight?

Re: Villain: The Biggest fan Add Distinctive Features: Body Odor.

Re: Hellboy Write-up Under fireproof, you have the limitation "only against fire/heat/electricity" as being a -1/2 limitation. I'd say -1/4 if anything. After those three, there just aren't that many attacks that do energy damage.

Re: Sand Powers Don't bother with invisibility. Just use concealment (only in certain environments) How about a dispel gizmo? Ever try to use sensitive electronics when there's sand flying around? How about a create sandstorm? It'd be huge, but fun.
