Your PnP RPG characters

[Akamaz]

Well, i think the title says it all, Some folks want to know what types of characters they're looking at before they get down tothe nitty gritty of game design, so post your character info here (not nessecarily looking for a 4 page Bio, but at least a bit to describe your character/archetype)

For instance, My character im bringing to the board is what most D7D folks would consider a fighter/mage.

Name: (undecided something oriental I think)
Archetype: Scrapster (scrapper/blaster hybrid more focused towards the scrapper side of things)
if we're going for picking our powers, it would be a bladed weapon/energy blasts hero.

Through years of training he learned how to infuse his weapon with chi, and also to direct it to attack at range.
His master was killed by evil ninja's and he's tracked a group of that clan to (insert name of setting here) he joined the others because a lone warrior fighting off an entire ninja clan makes for good fiction, but makes for la quick funeral too.

oh yeah, AND THEY FIGHT CRIME!

[Quakester]

In the Marvel system, ther are no AT's just different origins. TONS of powers though.

I know that, it was more for those folks who want to know. (in lots of comic book games, they have 4 archetypes listed, tanker, blaster, scrapper, and psychic. If i remember, the particualr power i'm lookinf for may be dark matter control... where's a link to the powers again?

[Masked Revenger]

I want to know what type of game we're playing before I design a character. Street level? Four colour? Noir? It makes a huge difference on the type of character I'm going to make.

DESCRIPTION:
Neon doesn't have a costume as such but instead wears normal clothing scavanged from homeless shelters which he Colours into neon hues. Since I can't resist a bad pun the general style of his clothing is like Neo, from The Matrix, but the colours are florescent.

EQUIPMENT:
None.

HISTORY:
The different are always prejudiced against and, when his mutant powers first manifested Heiro was no different. However, unlike many such stories, this tale takes a different course. Heiro's parents, middle classed intelligecia, supported him both in word and deed. His neighbours knew him as a good kid and saw no need to berate him or hate him due to a random twist in genetics. However the same could not be said for everyone.

Somehow Heiro's existance got out and a local band of mutant hating bigots rode into town on a wave of destruction. Heiro's parents were killed and fearing for the safety of those around him he took the next bus to New York city and tried to dissappear into the general superhuman population of the city. That was all fine and dandy but with meager resources and no income Heiro rapidly ended up living on the streets. There he saw how badly the street people of New York were treated while everyone else seemed to have super-powered champions to defend them. So be used his power to change the colour of his clothes to bright neon hues and became the super-powered champion of New York's Homeless. A champion quickly dubbed "That neon homeless guy",or "Neon".

Point. Forgot about the disk. Noble I saw and flight is the only way he's getting around.

The Ultimate Powers book. Check the Marvel Resource thread, keep it street level, nothing above Amazing and be creative.

[Quakester]

There is a character creator on the site with the books...The most complicated thing about Marvel is character creation and it isn't that tough. Step by step instructions are in the Ultimate Powers book.

Origin:

Born to a well to do family in Western Connecticut, Kevin Drucker discovered at an early age that he was different from everyone else. This was not only because of his skin color, but also because he could hear all the things people were thinking about him. His parents decided early on to home school him in an attempt to protect Kevin from the cruelty that other children can show. And on the few occasions Kevin and his family went out together he received a heavy coating of make-up, so he may pass as normal.

After a few incidents involving teachers running out of the house screaming, Kevin's parents looked to hire someone that could teach him to control his talents. His parents selected a minor telepath named Joshua Tyne. This ended badly, after years of working together and building trust Joshua was discovered by Kevin to be manipulating his parents and stealing large sums of money from his family. When Kevin confronted him about it Kevin learned that Josh was more then a minor telepath, he also possessed other impressive psi abilities. During the psychic battle that followed Kevin's father, released from Joshua's control, retrieved his gun and fired a shot at Josh. Josh turned and attacked this new threat, only to be assaulted by Kevin's mind. After it was over Josh was little more the a vegetable and Kevin's father suffered from several new phobias.

Fearing to cause his family any further trouble Kevin decided to leave home and sever his ties to them. Looking to stay out of sight as much as possible Kevin took a job in a photo lab were he spent most of his time alone in a dark room. After a few years living in New York Kevin realizes that there are others in the world like Joshua that look to prey on the weak and innocent. Increasingly angry at what he sees on the streets Kevin decides to dedicate his life to using his abilities to help the helpless and protect the innocent.

If you are modeling after a character concept, pick the powers that fit.

[Akamaz]

If you are modeling after a character concept, pick the powers that fit.

For Instance, Okami is the mystic warrior/ninja type. all of his powers stem from the mutation caused by continued exposure to Chi, or stem from his training

He's a master swordsman, hence the martial arts supremacy for his sword

The sonar is the closest thing I could think of to represent his training, it's more like instead of sensing the object itself, he's sensing it's chi.

Hyper leaping is becasue in all of those movies, ninja's jump a lot.

True invincibility is due in part to body hardening techniques, augmented by his Chi, mking his body super tough.

The fire Generation is a physical manifestation of his chi

and last but not least, ninja's are somewhat stealthy.

[Quakester]

The setting will be present day New York. There will be other heroes determined by my mood. ;) Likely you will have never heard of any of them as I have a horde of them to draw upon that were created by friends. You may see better known heroes (I like Captain A, what can I say?)

DESCRIPTION:
Pele is a very beautiful young hawaiian woman, with long, flowing black hair and black eyes.

HISTORY:
Akela Awana was a beautiful, young Hawaiian woman in New York working as a modle, and well n her way to becoming a supermodle. She was found beaten close to death in a back alley by the police a day after she failed to show up at a shoot, and taken immedatly to a hospital. She was in a coma, and stayed that way for several days. Eventually, she awoke, claiming to be Pele, the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and exhibiting powers to back up this claim. When Akela's sister panacked at this announcement, Akela returned to her senses, speaking as Akela, and telling this story. "While I was in my coma, I had a visitation by Pele. She was being sent to Earth to deal with the increase in evil happening around the globe, and had chosen me as her avatar. She speaks in my head, even now, and when she takes over my body, I speak to her." She was taken to a psychiatric hospital, who declaired that she had a split personality, but odly, it was one she seemed to have complete controll over. Eventually, they were forced to relase her. Now, Pele arises from Akela whenever there is injustice or evil to be fought.

[Akamaz]

there's a book called Ultimate power book" or something like that. it has a step by step method of character creation, it's on the idebar on the lft of the page.

[Quakester]

So, this will be set in the Marvel U?

Chris

Sort of...You may see characters from Marvel or CoH...Not likely DC

[Tsarmina]

Okay, here's my character. Quake, let me know if this is okay. Blur, what site did you use to make that picture? I want to go there and see if I can't do the same for Pele. :)

I beleive that would be a HeroMachine (http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heroMachine/classic.asp) creation.

[Impact]

Ok maybe I'm going about this all wrong (wouldn't be the first time hehe) but i'm looking through the books & things and I see charts & such but most of those are for die rolls. Is there a set amount of points we have to put into our stats? A set number of powers we can/can't have? Sorry guys...hehe I'm trying... :chuckle:

[Quakester]

Here's the table they get the number from Frosty. It's the number in parentheses.

Yeah, that had me confused for the longest time too. In the Ultimate Powers book, it doesnt really talk about this, but in the main rule book, it does, and in the end, Quake, as the Judge (GM), get's the final say on if our characters are okay.

I'm a big fan of trusting players. The good ones don't try to cheat. The bad ones, well they pay for it later. Remember, as GM I'm not a god, I tell them what to do.

[Impact]

Well....I wish someone would have told me that to begin with.....oui....I feel so lost hehe. :P :chuckle:

Anywho, back to the drawing board....I can see i'm gonna have to read these things like 10 times to get it all...hehe

[Akamaz]

it's ok, i actulaly rolled okami on the tables, i ended up nerfing him down a bit, as when i wa rolling his stats up the random die roller liked me.... a lot...

lets put it this way... he could have been called "Captain Incredible" cause everything was that rank or higher...

[Dynamo-Man]

Is it too late for me to join? I have a character concept in mind. Kind of a Doc Savage type. Actually, a lot like Doc Sampson from Marvel :D

[Masked Revenger]

You know, I like the looks of this group, so far.

We have:

Neon (sound based powers)
Noble (the brick)
Longshot (the archer)
Okami (the martial artist)
Mindgame (the mentalist)
Pele (the volcano goddess)

Pretty diverse.

It's never too late!

I like the group composition too and thank GOD you didn't all bulk up your physical and ignore mental...A bad perception has screwed more people than I can count. What good is being able to dodge bullets if you are too dimwitted to notice the guy pulling the gun?

[Dynamo-Man]

Snipped. See later post for new character. :D

[Akamaz]

could one of our mods rename this the Marvel pnp character thread? i'm setting up one for Fuzion characters.

[Impact]

So wait...there's gonna be two separate games going at once? Oui.... :chuckle:

*goes back to work on his character*

[Akamaz]

well, you know how it can be, you have one game that's going really slow between posts, you can try the other thread to see what's up with it.

[Blur]

Do we even have enough people to split up? Maybe we could also switch off with systems at first to see which we like best.

[Impact]

Yeah....it'd be a little less confusing for those already semi-confused (i.e. ME :chuckle: ) Maybe play through a game on one system then switch to another?

[Akamaz]

sure thing, the only reason i was puting forth the stuff for fuzion is then i can tailor my campaign a bit to match characters.

[ChairLegOfTruth]

Let's stick to one system at a time peeps.

[Dynamo-Man]

Is it too late to change my character? I have a different one that I think would fit better... [/flakey gamer status]

[Quakester]

Is it too late to change my character? I have a different one that I think would fit better... [/flakey gamer status]

Go right ahead.

[Amoeba Man]

Tweaked Mindgame a little and added a background.

[AfterglowNoMore]

I'd really like to join this game, but I'm in need of serious help, would someone mind getting with me on AIm and walk me through the character process, rules and whatnot?

[ChairLegOfTruth]

Updated Neon's (http://www.cohguru.com/forum/showthread.php?p=17440#post17440) character, tweaking his powers so that they're a bit more coherent and giving him a background.

[Impact]

Well....after contributions and help from many...many....many people....I present to you guys my hero for this lil shindig.

HISTORY:
Ryan Preacher was a high school drop out turned street magician who made it big after a talent scout saw him performing his "Illusions". After a couple of years doing small shows in clubs, Ryan movedup to doing stage shows in arenas, and finally hit it big in Vegas. But Vegas has a way of changing people, both psychologically, and physically. Ryan managed to obtain some gambling debts with local bookies, who upon notice of his refusal to pay and threats to go to the police about the intimidation tactics, decided that it was best if he took a long, permanent retirement. The Bookies rigged up one of his tricks where he seemingly lit himself on fire so that it would actually light Ryan on fire. A good plan, a performer dies due to his own neglegence. He'd be dead and a laughing stock. But they made one mistake, they didn't check to see what it was that they were filling his gas tanks with and they exploded. Ryan was seemingly killed istantly and his "killers" were never found. Possibly due to a cover up? Or just careful planning? No one knows, and Ryan isn't looking to find out. He's happy that the chemicals that filled the tanks that caused them to explode altered his body, he's enjoying his life, as a seemingly immortal hero.



I have a few questions: If I'm understanding this right, by choosing Plasticity, I don't need Elongation, is that right? And I plan on him transforming his legs into springs to propel himself, do I need to yake Hyper Jump for that, or is this build ok to support that?

[Quakester]

true. By taking Plasticity you don't need elongation. and no you don't need hyper leaping.

[AfterglowNoMore]

true. By taking Plasticity you don't need elongation. and no you don't need hyper leaping.
So the character looks pretty sound and viable right?

[Plasma Wisp]

I'd still like to be apart of this, but have no clue where to start. Does anyone care to assist me in the creation. After that I'd be gold.

[AfterglowNoMore]

I know next to nothing about it, but I'll all I can.

HISTORY:
Alaina was born into this world as a mutant though not by chance. Her mother, a world class track and field athlete for several years, was begining to feel age take away her edge. Like many people she gave into the temptation to use chemical enhancers to compete with the younger runners.

However with recent scandles on the rise testing for steroids was up. Alaina's mother turned toward the exotic. While the drugs did do their job they had two unforseen side effects. First, it interfeared with her birth control pills and she became pregnant. Second, they caused the unborn child to mutate.

While not physically altered the enhancement drugs left their mark. Everything about the child, both mind and body, was accelerated. When born the child Alaina was showed remarkable intelligence which only grew as she did. At age 10 she was already learning at a high school level. By age 12 she began exhibiting telekinetic abilities but even at such a young age she understood how those with powers were treated and quickly hid them.

At 14 she had recieved her first college degree in computer engineering and recieved much national attention. Realizing that this would draw attention just like her telekinetic abilities she began to slow herself down, continuing to learn but not getting additional degrees in electrical engineering and chemistry until 18 and 22 respectively. This was followed up by a PhD in computer engineering by 23.

Having had enough of college life she entered the work force. She was hired by a research and technology firm in New York and moved to the city. However, her hyper-active mind found the life of a researcher to be very unexciting. Already making money off of several patents developed in college she decided to turn her talents toward crime fighting.

AfterGlow: Well Plasticity does give you free Elongation but you'd either need Hyper-Leaping for the spring-thing or develop it as a power-stunt during play. Unless our Illustrious GM lets us start with a free power-stunt...

Oh and Neon's powers are Kinetic-based not sonic based. :cool:

[Quakester]

Free power stunt. Also, I don't charge karma for power stunts. Too many other ways to burn it up. I have the feeling you may need all the karma you can get.

[Kurai Inago]

I'd like to join this, but like Frosty.... I'm confused and whatnot. Anywho, I can't post anything now, but I'll try to come up with something later.

[Quakester]

Oh, while I do not charge karma for power stunts, until the stunt becomes a recognized part of your character's abilities, there is a chance it will fail. Sometimes slightly, sometimes catastrophically. All depending on the complexity of the stunt, the amount of practice you put into it, and a roll of the dice(mostly the first too). Like Neon, making a cockroach would be a breeze, making a virus designed to attack only certain people would not.

[Akamaz]

so we get to start with one free power stunt already in our repetoire? (as in not using the needing a red feat to work on it? or what?

Bingo. Only fair. Power stunts are one of the best parts of the game.

I'm really sorry everyone, but I am going to need to drop out of this RP idea. I recently realized that I already have a pretty full plate with things going on in my life, as well as other RPs, and anymore RPs would most likely begin to feel like a burden. I am sorry, but I don't think I can handle doing this one as well. :(

Good luck with it though, and I hope you all have lots of fun. :)

ok, already got my power stunt picked out (i think)

My true invulnerability field extends to protect my blade (infusing the blade with Hard Chi to make it more durable)

[Plasma Wisp]

Thanks to Quake-n-bake, I'm almost done with Plasma Wisp, unless you think I should come up with another character?

Okay, what's a power stunt as it relates to Marvel?

A trick with your power that is something or than it's primary use. Like using fire generation to fly or make a flaming weapon.

[The Widowed]

To put it simply, a Power Stunt is when you attempt to learn a new way of using a power which you already have. Like, let's say you have a personal force field. It's strong and durable, it surrounds your body and protects you from harm. But then you're faced with a door that's locked and bolted shut from the inside. You can't batter it down with your own body and you don't have any tools for the job. Then you remember that the power of your force field is stronger than you are. So you try to mentally push one spot of your force field sharply and suddenly, turning a patch of your force field into a battering ram.

It costs you a good chunk of Karma (read: experience points) just to attempt the battering ram stunt for the first time. But as you use that power stunt more and more often, it costs you less and less Karma. Eventually--through multiple uses of the battering ram effect--you end up paying a collective amount of Karma based on the power level of your force field, at which point the "debt" is paid off, you don't ever again have to spend Karma to use the force field's battering ram and the battering ram is no longer considered a mere power stunt, instead becoming a normal ability of that power. At that point you've mastered the knowledge of how to turn your force field into a battering ram, and you can do it as often as Sue Storm does. ;)

Power stunts can conceivably be applied to just about any other power. Regeneration mends the body's wounds, but can it be used to restore neural tissue to a previous "normal" state and thus help you resist mental attacks? You might have both Regeneration and Body Armor in the form of stone skin; Could you therefore "train" your skin to shed and regrow cobbles which you can throw as projectile weapons? Or perhaps you have destructive Radiation Blasts, but your friend has been poisoned; Can you figure out how to tone down your blasts into low-level radiation pulses capable of breaking up the poison before it kills your friend?

Does that help explain what a power stunt is? :|

[Masked Revenger]

Yes, thank you. It sound pretty much like Power Stunds in M&M, but I just wanted to make sure. I think I'm okay with my powers the way they are.

He lived a normal life until one day, after sending a Gang member to the hostpital after being attacked by him, he knew he would need to be able to defend himself better. So he went home, and after a night of Tinkering invented a pair of metal gauntlets that would allow him to control his Bio-electricity in the form of lightning and magnetism.
