Atlas Unleashed 6ed Conversions

Recommended Posts

Hello Again! After some insight from more experienced people with 6th Edition, (who get my deepest gratitude) I'm giving "Atlas Unleashed" a bit of an update. A few of the characters I've taken the liberty of changing quite a few things to make them make more sense (at least to me), however, they haven't been changed to the point they are unrecognizable from the actual book.

 

 Starting off with "PEACEMONGER". So here we go!  My version of "Atlas Unleashed" 6th Edition!

 

EDITED

 

Sorry for ant Inconvenience, but I reworked “Peacemonger” back to more closely represent his original stats, what I thought had made sense, actually did not once I received some input from Hyper-Man! Thanks! So here’s the update.

 

Peacemonger

Dr. John Powers

Background/History:  Powers was born into a family of Socialist party organizers and blue-collar workers. He learned early the value of hard work and education, a lesson he never forgot. He also learned that the capatalist system is unjust and must be challenged repeatedly untill it gives control of society over to the working classes.

 From the start, Powers was a brilliant student. He interrupted his college career when he was drafted into the Army Air Force in 1943, where he was assigned work in airplane design and tesing. He was one of the foremost engineers in the Air Force, and was on the leading edge of jet research towards the end of the war. After two years in the Air Force after the war, Powers returned to civillian life in order to use GI benifits to continue his education. He earned a variety of advanced degrees from institutions of higher learning.

 By the middle of the 1950's, Dr. Powers had finished his formal education, just in time to be educated in the school of hard knocks. His association with the Communist party, which had been encouraged during the war, made it almost impossible for him to find work. Embittered, he spent the better part of the next decade as a lab assistant at an obscure petrochemical reasearch facility.

 Finally, in the late 60's, Dr. powers joined the free speech movement at Berkley, California, where he became a professor of physics and a Marxist philosopher. As the era of the hippies came to an end, Dr. Powers decided that he would continue their "noble struggle" against imperialism, and founded Prometheus.

 From the begining, Prometheus faced difficulties. Volunteers were plentiful at first, but rapidly declined in number. Money and organization were always a problem for the unworldly professor. Within two years of its founding, it looked as though Prometheus might collapse, its mission unfulfilled.

 Powers felt certain that this was due to continuing interference from the superpowers in the affairs of the world. Powers also suspected that the CIA and FBI were tapping his phone lines and interferring in his good work, and that the KGB was sabatoging his efforts to feed the starving in South Vietnam.

 At the same time, Powers personal life was disintegrating. His son rebelled against his father's pacifist teachings and joined the Marines. His wife, feeling that Powers had abandoned her in order to foster his fledgling group, divorced him. Powers frustrated and increasingly stymied, had a nervous breakdown. He developed a second personality that would deal ruthlessly and effectively with all of his problems. That personality was Peacemonger.

 Mrs. Powers died in a bizarre car "accident" shortly thereafter. Her car short-circuitted while she was turning the starter and sent a lethal dose of electricity through her key. Corporal Powers, USMC, died when his transport plane was struck by "lightning."

 After dealing with these problems, Peacemonger returned to the USSR. To handle them he created Atlas. Atlas' profits from bank robbery and other crimes were funnelled back into Prometheus in the form of anonymous donations, enabling the fledgling organization to survive long enough for Dr. Powers' inventions to give Prometheus a strong reputation in the relief community. Since then, the two organizations, like two sides of Dr. Powers, have been almost wholly seperate.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Today, wracked by chemical imbalances and an undiagnosed brain tumor, Dr. Powers / Peacemonger is becoming increasingly erratic. He has become moody and subject to occaisional fits of violent temper. He is increasingly unable to differeniate his ideas from his personal worth, and therefore becomes very angry with anyone questioning his plans or motives.

 The two personalities are unaware of each other at first. Eventually Peacemonger will take over completely, and Dr. Powers will be reported dead.

 

Powers/Tactics:  Dr. Powers' abilities consist of his enormously powerful mind, his forceful personality, and the sciences he has learned and pioneered. He has mastered piloting and swordplay in his spare time, and uses an army saber to great effect.

 

Campaign Use:  Dr. Powers is a noted expert on engineering and experimental physics, so the reclusive doctor could enter the campaign as an expert consulted on these matters.

 

Appearance:  Dr. John Powers is 5'4", around 130 pounds, balding with gray hair and brown eyes. He wears loose fitting clothing with a disheveled look, usually in red, brown and black. He has an intense, fixated stare, and often appears to be concentrating on something other than the problem or situation at hand. His right hand has been replaced with an electro-mechanical slot. He places a variety of electoe-mechanical devices in the slot, most often the deadly vibro-sword. His skin is replaced with a plasteel mesh, and his bones and muscles with hydraulic presses.

 

 As Peacemonger, Dr. Powers wears a loose-fitting bright green costume with an attached mask open to the lower face and hair, with a map of the world covered by a blood red hand on the chest. He also carries a saber inside a yellow scabbard on a yellow belt.

            I don't think you intended this to be a Multipower.  A List with a common Limitation would make more sense (like Unified Power or OIF maybe?).

Thanks for pointing out that txt export Hyper-Man, by putting everything into the multipower instead of a list, was the only way I could maintain the characteristic levels that were in the book, without being close to a 600 pt character. I didn't see Peacemonger as a Major Master Villain type, so decided to squeeze it into the multipower, as I'm envisioning him as those are all a result of him becoming a cyborg.

 

 I know it wasn't the best choice, because they aren't really all powers, but part of his new body. Should I have left him at the level of points he was instead of bringing him to 400pts? Would that make more sense?  

 

Or should I have just left those where they were in the characteristics, leaving him at the higher point total?

Changing SPEED is something that can take a TURN to resolve.

 

STUN and END that get used up rarely make sense in a Framework.  Changing out of the slot and then activating it later doesn't mean that any STUN or END that was previously lost in combat is magically recovered.

 

If the characters limbs and organs have been replaced with mechanical parts that is a special effect that implies that some sort of Focus Limitation and/or Unified Power Limitation would be a better way to represent the drawbacks that come with it.

Background/History:  Anthony Wells Carrington was born crippled into a perfect English noble family in 1948. He came of age during the tumultuous 1960's. He was educated at the Edinburgh School of Fine Arts, until his increasingly revolutionary artistic methods and themes caused him to be rejected by the faculty. Young Anthony  was put out onto the streets, where for the first time, he had to make a living for himself. It was during this phase in his life that he learned to despise greed, materialism, and the imperialist atrocities while at the University, and formulated a utopian vision where the empires would be humbled and the Third World would be given an equal share of the world's resources.

 After obtaining his medical degree, he took this vision to the United States, where he hoped to meet other radicals with similar ideals. he did, in the form of Dr. John Powers, who was just then forming Prometheus. Carrington joined the then strictly-humanitarian group, and rapidly worked his way up to the second-inj-command.

 By then Powers had become convinced of the need for terrorism against the superpowers, and Carrington carried out many of his ideas, adding a twist of irony, or reference to art, literature or music, in order to gain press attention. While he was a part of Atlas, Anthony met Eric Van Horn, and they became close friends. Anthony arranged for Eric to be his personal secretary, and to record all his meetings with Powers for posterity. This kept Eric out of dangerous field work, and allowed their friendship to expand to a professional respect.

 Carrington's parents and older brother were killed in a car crash in the late 70's; he was the only surviving heir and gained a sizable fortune as well as the family title. This money has been invaluable aid to Atlas / Prometheus since.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Virtuoso is cowardly and venomous, yet he is a shrewd strtigist and a consummate liar. He is an astute student of human psychology, and can often persuade people to do things against their better judgement. He lacks the personal magnetism of acquaintance with high society and traditional culture. His knowledge of the fine arts places him in the second rank of experts worldwide, and makes him a welcome addition to diplomatic soirees. He is dedicated to his own utopian vision and to art, in that order. Despite his amiable airs, Virtuoso has no one he truly cares about other than Eric, because he looks down on nearly everyone, including his mentor, Peacemaker.

 

Quote:  "I'm only trying to help you. I have yor best intrests at heart."

 

Powers/Tactics:  Virtuoso generally hangs back in a fight, using his power pool to confuse his opponents and boost the abilities of his teammates. For example, he uses his Cosmic Pool to create a 25 PD Force Field, Usable at Range (+1/2), which he will use to protect whichever comrade seems to be in the greatest need. (He could use invisibility with similar attributes). He almost never engages an enemy directly in combat, prefering to  teleport , shapeshift, or become invisible and direct the actions of others. If he must fight, he will use a Mental Paralysis to the full stregnth of his Power Pool. He must use a musical instrument or a drawing pad to call upon his powers. He favors the flute.

 

Campaign Use:  As Lord Carrington, he runs Prometheus from a wheelchair. He is a noted expert on music and literature, as well as a competent, if somewhat out-of-practice medical expert, and might be consulted on those matters. He might also be encountered at any diplomatic functions the player-heroes happen to attend.   As Virtuoso, he is second in command of Atlas, and may be encountered as thus.

 

Appearance:  Anthony is 5'10", 175 pounds, with prematurely white hair and magnetic sea-green eyes. He sports a goatee and a mustache. He carries himself with the air of a liberal aristocrat - he knows he's better than you are, but he'll stoop to help you anyway. As virtuoso, he wears a simple costume made up of the top half of a gi (martial arts practice robe), and loose-fitting pants that conceal his leg braces. He wears a black domino mask to conceal his identity.

Background/History:  Adrienne D'Estang was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1967. Her parents were members of the Quebecois separatist movement of the late 70's and Adrienne picked up their nasty habits; she tossed her first bomb at age 12. By the time she was 16, she was an accomplished terrorist, and actively hunted by almost every law-enforcement agent north of the 39th parallel. It was at this time that Adrienne decided to join Atlas, primarily because she is better protected by Atlas than she could ever be by the separtist movement, but also because Atlas was not solely based in Canada. Adrienne decided by this time she wanted other, more challenging targets to vent her wrath on - like the United States government.

 In order to escape across the border, Adrienne phoned an anonymous tip to the police that gave the location of the hideout her parents were using. Because of the diversion of police manpower to hunt down her parents (who were dangerous criminals in their own right), Adrienne was able to slip into the U.S., where she has continued to make trouble. The Canadians have not forgotten her, though, and they have sent several teams of agents into the U.S. to apprehend her - so far without success.

 

Personality/Motivation:  The Q'rrm treatments that turned Adrienne D'Estang into Ego have also warped her already twisted mind. She finds that she enjoys using her powers to turn ordinary people into her puppets, and superheroes into her drooling slaves. She often does this needlessly on her subordinates, just for the rush the feeling of absolute domination gives her.

 

Powers/Tactics:  Ego's abilities are a combination of the talents she picked up as a youthful criminal and the powers and equipment bestowed upon her by Atlas. She uses her mind -control powers indiscriminately, often wrecking the psyches of the people whom she so casually abuses.

 

Campaign Use:  Ego is the ambitious underling ready to betray her superiors at a moments notice in exchange for power. Heroes who want to promote dissent inside Atlas could help things along the way by promising Ego help in taking over Atlas.

 

Appearance:  Adrienne is 5'6", with medium-long brown hair and sultry green eyes. She possesses a fierce, domineering attitude with an arrogant edge. Ego's costume is a forest green bodystocking with decorative ochre "wings" stretching from arm to arm and over the shoulders, with black trunks, high black boots, long black gloves, stylized black triangles inside and outside her upper arms and thighs, and a black semi-circle at the neck. She wears her pisto; in a black holster on her right thigh.

Background/History:  Jim Dodson was born in 1950 in Los Angeles. He grew up in a tough section of L.A., where he learned disrespect for the law and loyalty to his friends. He ran a gang called the "One-Way Surfers, which engaged in vandalism and petty theft. To his friends and some of the neighborhood he was a hero, because his targets were often (though not always) rich people from outside the ghetto. He liked being seen as a hero, and so he beat up a few slumlords and spray=painted more than his share of crack houses.

 Bur Jim wasn't cut out to be a small-time Robin Hood. Once he used a crowbar to beat up some cops who had shot his pals in the act of robbery. Another time he ran from the same situation. Thyose guys had been in his gang, but they weren't Jim's buddies, so he let 'em rot.

 Eventually, time and the law took their toll on the One-Way Surfers, and Jim and a couple of his buddies decided to join up with Atlas, where they could get guns of their own, and get even more people to like them. Jim wants to be a hero, but he wants to be a hero in the easiest possible way. If the job involves sacrifice or hard work, Jim isn't interested. That's why he's still in Atlas; he can do pretty much whatever kind of terrorism and vandalism he wants, and he doesn't have to do any honest work. Jim has been very successful in Atlas, so he's made the FBI's ten most wanted list.

 It was Virtuoso who chose Jim's code-name, based upon his reading of the works of Friedrich Niettzsche. "Uberman" was the phrase coined by Nietzsche to describe his race of superior men who were unbound by "slave morality" and thus fit to rule the world. "Uberman" translates literally as "Over-man", and Jim often uses the translation in his threats, as in "Its over for you man, cause I'm the Uberman."

 

Personality/Motivation:  Uberman is brash and freewheeling: unwilling to accept constraints on his actions, yet loyal to his friends beyond reason. He's unlikely to follow plans or orders, but he'll do anything in his power to help out a friend in need. He's also interested in being a super-hero, not for the ordinary reasons having to do with self-sacrifice and a desire for the common good, but for the glory and fame of it all. Uberman will help a little old lady attacked by muggers just on general principals, but won't do any really showy crimefighting unless he thinks he'll get a newspaper picture, or atleast a roar of approval from a crowd. As a result, in order to get Uberman to do something really rotten, like join in a nuclear blackmail plot, he has to be mind-controlled, at least a little. Of coarse, if you can convince him that its a really heroic thing to do, it helps.

 Jim's other bad habit (as if he didn't have enough already), is his heavy drug use. This is a problem he's had for a long time, but since he gets free dope from Atlas's South American subsidiary, the problem has become worse lately. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, drugs don't have the same kind of debilitating effect on Jim they have on the rest of us, but they do cloud his thinking somewhat, and they account for hisrelatively low intelligence and consequent susceptability to illusions, and persuasive speeches. As a side effect of this, Jim uses the slow, laborous drug-speak so often found among dopers in movies, punctuated heavily with long pauses and out-dated phrases like "hey dude", "far out", "mellow out dude", "chill" "don't mess with me dude", "bitchin", and the like.

 

Quote:  "Hey man, don't mess with my buddies, 'cause I'm a rightous dude, and I'll wrap that car around your head."

 

Powers/Tactics:  Uberman is strong and invulnerable, has a knowledge of the streets, and feet faster than those of the average cop. Other notes about Uberman's powers: he's immune to vacuum, high pressure, extreme cold and radiation. This doesn't mean he can hang out in space or deep under water all day - he still has to breathe. It does mean that Uberman won't suffer explosive decompression, or the bends, but he'll still suffer the other bad effects of being in space or underwater - most importantly, slow suffocation.

 

Campaign Use:  Uberman is the stupid but reformable henchman who gives the heroes a hard time. He doesn't really understand why the heroes want to stop him from bringing about worls equality, but if they can explain why, maybe he'll stop - until the next time Virtuoso talks him back into it.

 

Appearance:  Jim is 6'2", 230 pounds, with blue eyes and long blond hair cut punk-style. When he dresses in civies (which isn't often), he wears faded blue jeans, high-top sneakers, and t-shirts, usually emblazoned with a punk logo (e.g. Dead Kennedys Live, Anarchy Rules, Skate Tough or Die)> Jim doesn't walk, he swaggers.

 Uberman wears a blue bodysuit with a red and yellow stylized "A" (for Anarchy) on his chest, framed by red shoulder markings, red gloves and boots, and a red cape with blue trim.

Background/History:  Jason Harper was born in Harlem, NYC, in 1957. Jason never knew his father who abandoned the family before he was born. Jason grew up on welfare; his mother was only rarely able to find work to support him and his younger half-sister. He feels like he was cheated out of his self-esteem and a good education by a white system that gave no chance to the blacks,especially poor blacks from the inner city. He joined Atlas in 1975, after he was fired from three different odd jobs by three different white managers. Since then, he has worked his way up through the Atlas ranks, and has, by dint of hard work, become one of Dr. Powers most trusted aides.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Polarity carries himself with an important swagger, willing to take offense at almost ant provocation. He is almost always certain he is right, and is just as certain that he has been cheated out of his rights. Jason is very bitter about the historic mistreatment of his people by whites, and feels that this bigotry is still pervasive - just better hidden than it used to be. He is very devoted to his sister, and almost equally devoted to his good friends - especially Uberman.

 

Powers/Tactics:  Polarity

s powers work like this: he splits into one white duplicate and one black duplicate. The white man is surrounded by a black force field, and is susceptible to flash attacks. The black man is surrounded by a white force field and is susceptible to darkness fields. The black duplicate is capable of Flash, the white is capable of generating a darkness field. Both Polarities can fly and generate energy blasts from their hands.

 

Campaign Use:  Polarity is the loyal subordinate with a grudge against society, much like his friend Uberman. His primary purpose in the campaign is to provide the characters some insight into the good things that Atlas is fighting for, and the bad things Atlas is fighting against. Polarity is nearly irredeemable because he is so bitter.

 

Appearance:  JAson is 5'10", 170 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. He is a mulatto; half black, half white. Polarity's costumes are reversed in color - the white duplicate wears a white bodystocking with black trunks, black belt, a black triangle leading from the neck to a black star in the middle of his chest. The black duplicate's costume is opposite that, and the costumes disappear when Polarity is not duplicated.

Background/History:  Isacc Meade was born in 1952 as the third son of New Jersey gangster Joe Louis Meade. Isaac grew up srrounded by crime and the things that successful crime brings - women, violence, and a good deal of money. Isaac decided he wanted all those things too, and he started by extorting lunch money from other children on the schoolyard and in the lunchroom. He made a little gang and he was "Little Ceasar" of P.S. 1236. That lasted until he got sent to reform school the first time.

 In reform school, Isaac learned a little about getting money in ways more profitable than protection rackets. When he got out of reform school, Isaac took up a part-time career buglarizing small businesses and local homes. He got caught two days before his eighteenth birthday, and was tried as a juvenile and sent back to reform school.

 When he got out of reform school the second time, his family had rejected him for being such a lousy crook. Isaac decided he needed somebody to protect him from the coppers - somebody who could use his unique talents. So Isaac hooked up with Atlas, and joined their espionage division. When he heard about the possibilities for getting really tough in "Project: Hope", he signed up.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Recoil is needlessly mean and abusive to anyone who gets in his way even a little bit, including old women and babies. Isaac is a bully, and like most bullies, he's a coward at heart, unwilling to stick around when the going gets tough.

 

Quote:  "See here, youse, dis is the last time you mess with me. I'm gonna break your fingers one by one, and I'm gonna love every minute of it."

 

Powers/Tactics:  All of Recoil's powers and increased characteristics are a consequence of his new-found "elastic nature" - his ability to stretch and bounce. By stretching himself, he can not only get extra range, but extra leverage and momentum as well (effectively making him stronger than he really is). He can also coil himself like a spring in order to get a super-leap, and he can literally shift his shape into anything or anyone of roughly his own mass.

 

Campaign Use:  Recoil is the absolutely irredeemable bad guy with no compunctions about killing. If you have a ruthless killer player in your campaign, Recoil is a good target for them.

 

Appearance:  Isaac is normally 6'1", 162 pounds, with brown eyes and slicked-back greasy black hair and a cheap-hood mustache. He wears double-breasted suits and smokes inexpensive American cigarettes.

 Recoil's costume consists of khaki colored non-constricting shorts and a khaki short-sleeved shirt with the letter "R" embroidered on the pocket, black boots and stretchable gloves, and a green mask covering the top half of his head tied in the back.

Background/History:  Michael Stanford was born in 1966 in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. Michael's father was distant and aloof, and his mother too caught up in Junior League meetings to pay much attention to her only child. As a result, Michael has grown up to be every mother's nightmare. Quiet and unassuming, during high school, the young athelete joined a series of subversive organizations at college, including the Communist Party, U.S.A.

 Michael's dissatisfaction with Communist Party inactivity and his naivete, combined with his resentment towards the corporate culture that he felt was responsible for his parent's distance, pushed him to join Prometheus. Michael worked in relief efforts in Central America, primarily as a mechanic, repairing food trucks and bicycles. Eventually his energy and innovation brought him to the attention of Dr. Powers, who told him about the upcoming "Project: Hope. Michael volunteered.

 After joining "Project:P Hope", Michael became a member of Atlas, and so became the third person (after Peacemonger and Virtuoso) to learn of the connection between Atlas and Prometheus. Michael does not, however, understand the exact nature of the connection.

 Unicorn, unlike the other members of Atlas, is basically heroic in inclination. He is also thoroughly convinced that the ideals of Atlas are the ideals that everyone should nelieve in, and that Atlas is doing the right thing, whatever that thing is at the time. If, however, he can be convinced that Atlas is engaging in murder, torture, and kidnapping, he may switch sides and help the heroes, at least temporarily.

 

Personality/Motivation:  Michael is a warm hearted, kind and generous to a fault. He is very naive and idealistic, and extremely loyal to his friends. He cares very little for money or material things, and is inclined towards minor acts of vandalism, if he thinks they prove a point.

 

Quote:  "I don't get it. How can kidnapping and murder be for the good of mankind?"

 

Powers/Tactics:  The experiments that gave the other members of Atlas their powers killed Michael Stanford. But he was too strong-willed to stay dead. He tapped into the energy of the Q'rrm effect to resurect himself and fashion his powers.

 The results of the experiment gave Michael increased physical characteristics, a unicorn-like regenerative ability, and immunity to poisons. He also gains a "unicorn horn", (which is an energy beam rather than a physical horn) and associated abilities when he is frightened or excited, but which he loses when knocked out or when he goes to sleep. The experiments also left Michael with a suscepttbility to loss of power, because if he loses hie powers, he loses the energy of the Q'rrm effect that is keeping him alive.

 

Campaign Use:  Unicorn is the naive innocent duped into aiding the evik scheme of the master villains. Clever heroes should be able to convince him to switch sides, reveal Atlas secrets, and possibly even free them from captivity. He is the "good side" of Atlas /Prometheus, but even so he is a long way from being a super-hero.

 

Appearance:  Michael is 6'2", 210 pounds, and has longish sandy-blond hair and bright blue eyes. He has a slight southern accent, but usually talks like (fellow Texan) Dan Rather.

 Unicorn's costume consists of a blue bodysuit from his neck to the waist, with white stripping on the forearms and a white unicorn head on his chest, blue gloves, white leggings, and white boots with blue striping on the tops.

Updated Leaping distance to match original 48 inches which converts to 96 meters,

I had to remove Impenetrable from defenses as a result to get the points back to 400. 

This balances with having Always On as a Limitation on those defenses since if he ever takes Body from a Penetrating attack doctors would have a very hard time treating the injuries due to his defenses.

Background/History:  Sid Chapman was the only member of the Alpha test group to survive the original "Project: Hope." He was horribly disfigured and hideously empowered, becoming a beast-like monster. Genetic Deviant X no longer has any intelligence as we understand the term, and lives only to destroy Peacemonger and feed on the brains of other living beings. In some way we do not understand, brainwaves cause the creature pain. It can track people through their brainwaves, but cannot sense persons with EGO Defense this way. If given a choice, the creature would live out its life in isolation.

 

Campaign Use:  Genetic Deviant X should be used as a lurking horror, rather than a stand-up, bash-em monster. Emphisize the horror of this thing thsat used to be a man, with pus dripping from its tendrils and the foulest of smells of decay wafting from its open bowels as it lopes forward, face twisted in a cruel mockery of human expression. Tell the players that a repulsive mixture of blood and vomit oozes out of its mouth as a single distorted word crawls painfully out - "Brains!!!"

 Genetic Deviant X should attck heroes with its INT destruction, attaching its sucker pods to the victem's face and attempting to suck the brains out. It should only use its great strength to rip through bulkheads and toss aside objects between it and its intended victems, never to beat opponents into submission. When it attempts to eat the brain of a hero with EGO defense, it recoils sharply, grasping its hand with obvious pain, and cries out "Hurts! Bad Brains!!!" It will react to that hero with fear afterwards, and will use its great strength to hurl him away if that hero attacks it later.

I love it. Altas Unleashed was one of my favs of 4th ed, that and Zodiac as my own character, Ultimus left Team Force (come on, we were hitting puberty at the time and didn't know any better about naming names.) and helped Prometheus alongside Unicorn, Polarity and Uberman dealing with getting rid of the remaining Atlas members and helping out in Rwanda and Bosnia by providing aid to refugees.

Virtuoso

81        ARTISTIC POWERS POOL: Variable Power Pool, 50 base + 50 control cost, Requires music, art, poetry, etc as focus (+1/4) (81 Active Points)

 

Powers/Tactics:  Virtuoso generally hangs back in a fight, using his power pool to confuse his opponents and boost the abilities of his teammates. For example, he uses his Cosmic Pool to create a 25 PD Force Field, Usable at Range (+1/2), which he will use to protect whichever comrade seems to be in the greatest need. (He could use invisibility with similar attributes). He almost never engages an enemy directly in combat, prefering to  teleport , shapeshift, or become invisible and direct the actions of others. If he must fight, he will use a Mental Paralysis to the full stregnth of his Power Pool. He must use a musical instrument or a drawing pad to call upon his powers. He favors the flute.

 

 

 

I've never really been clear on the nature of Virtuoso's powers, and the original description in the adventure wasn't particularly helpful.  Is he just a general reality warper, like Cosmo or the Infinite Man, but requiring artistic expression to focus it?  If not for the use of a musical instrument, he could almost be a superhuman version of Simon from "Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings".

"Well you know my name is Simon.  And the things I draw come true."
