Kavos

Aaron suddenly becomes agitated, "well, I guess your right, it is defiantly well past my curfew. Nice meeting you guys..." Aaron says hastily before heading off at a fast paced walk. Once out of sight, Aaron will change into his costume and head out to were the trouble is.

Aaron also gives a formal bow to Colt as he introducers himself. Seeing the police in riot gear, Aaron gave a sigh; this was all the excuse Shui needed to go out on a night of hunting… Tilting his head slightly Aaron attempts to listen to the police

He can produce his own water :)

Aaron shrugs, “I just meant for the fact that two adults talking to a minor at this time of night. As for the cab, thanks but no thanks I can get home faster than that thing could drive me.†Looking over to Ullgir Aaron gives a formal Chinese bow, “Aaron shui, nice to meet you.â€Â

Yeah, im fine with you coming in if everyone elce is :D

Aaron stops and looks at the stranger from behind his sunglasses. “Depends on your definition of old I guess?†Aaron says with a faint smile. While it was true he was only sixteen, the same could be said that he was also over six thousand years old as well. “I only live a few blocks away, it would be a wast of money for a cab, but thank you. And as for danger, I’m more than capable of dealing with anything.†Aaron says with a shrug to the strangers comment. Looking up at the big feller as he spoke, Aaron was reminded of a statue he saw in the museum the other week on a school excursion. “You know, if a cop walks out that station at the moment, you two would probably be arrested.†Aaron comments, as he crosses his arms.

sounds fine to me. No problem we all have to deal with real life sometimes ;)

Perhaps one of the local criminals who had been brought in for questioning attempts to escape the police station?

Aaron wandered down the street slowly, he couldn’t help but give a chuckle only a month ago he would never have been wandering around south side at this time, but than a month ago he wasn’t melded with a dragon either. Aaron didn’t mind having Shui around, if anything Shui made his life more interesting, although he just wished his eyes would revert back to normal, it was getting rather annoying having to ware sunglasses all the time, even late and night. Walking up to the police station, a man sat on the steps with a bag, and a somewhat sullen look. Aaron sighed and continued walking, he hoped the stranger wasn’t apart of the local mob, after their last encounter at the family business Aaron wasn’t looking forward to seeing them for a while. To make matters worst there appeared to be a giant heading coming from the other side, dressed in what appeared to be Norse clothing. Aaron decided to keep walking and try and pay the no attention, crossing the street like some of the others would just draw attention to himself, and Aaron really wasn’t in the mood to get into trouble, least not in front of a police station.

Yeah I'm fine with you bringing Icarus in.

Yeah I’m fine with any ware. I'm a 16-year-old first generation Chinese American high school student with a six thousand year old dragon co-inhabiting his body. His main abilities are water control, and he does that very well. (If I did my calculations right, a light load of water for him is around the 4,000 ton mark ) Thanks for the Info Barnum

Hey, i'm new here to. If you guys wanted to do a group game I'd be interested in playing.

OK, I've fixed that up, took off the entangled effect from snare. lowered healing to 10ranks. removed the -1 from create object. and moved his eyes to complication, and added vulnerability to earth and fire, (earth more so than fire because according to the info i found on Chinese's elements water is strong than fire (but can still be evaporated due to high heat,) and earth is waters opposite as it absorbs the water. and with the -3 from the drawbacks added environmental adaption (underwater) and and the fear feat (2 points)

Ok before i updated i wanted to check to see if this was ok. Water Control 20 Ranks [40pp] Dynamic[1pp] [17pp AP powers] -Hydro-Blast [Dynamic] 10 Ranks -Knock back +7 -Indirect +3 -Shui Dragon Strike [Dynamic] 10 Ranks -[Linked] Nauseate 10 Ranks -Create Object [Limited Water -1] [Dynamic] 20 Ranks -Current Control [boost/Drain Swimming] [Dynamic] 20 Ranks -Hidden Mist [Obscure][Dynamic] 20 Ranks [Visual Only] -Snare [Water Bubble: Two thirds water control rank] 12 Ranks -Regeneration +1 -Suffocation +1 -Entanglement -1 -Airwalking 2 [4pp] -[linked] speed 5] [5pp] [top speed 250mph][9pp] -Insubstantial 1[Dynamic] 1 Rank -[linked] Swimming 20 Ranks -Healing Mist Breath: 20 Ranks -Persistent -Re-growth -Resurrection -[Flaw] Limited to others -1 -Force Field [Dynamic] 8Ranks -Impervious oh and in regards to the snare I wasn't quite sure, since I just wrote down what the book says (although honestly I’m not quite sure what there talking about with the regeneration or the entanglement effects on it.) also i think i'll remove the dynamic from it, i think it should be a power he realy needs to concentrate on. now if i do my maths right, that should be -2pp +-1pp from intergrating swimming/insub and removing dynamic from snare, which would bring me down to 78, and so depending on what your thoughts on the drawback, he’s either under points or spot on 150. if he's under ill grab the environmental adaptation (Underwater) feat. (Oh and he's gained 15lbs)

Hmm noted, ill move him up to about 5' than. 9 powers are dynamic, the 2 that aren’t are flight and healing. I wasn't quite sure how to do flight so that’s why I did it this way. what I was going for was i thought he could fly buy swimming, so he could create a tube of water and swim though it, (or a water spout and hover around). (18 flight is the same speed as 20 swimming). How would i do what you suggested? (Think Ice-mans ice-slide just with a water tube instead) I was thinking the strike could be like toxic water or something, so its a strike with the Fatigue/Nauseate effects. Ah I wasn't sure, it would defiantly be linked to his water control, although i also wanted it to be a constant even when he's not controlling water. Probably his Ultra-hearing

Just a quick updated, Added Indirect +3 to his blast.

I was playing around with it the other day and discovered you can change the skin colour in the first tab, on the right hand side, the tab that changers the body type (fur/crystal/bone ext) just click on that tab, and than you can change there skin colour. ;)

Fixed Fixed I had added it into my Calculations just forgot to add it. Fixed Forgot i had 40pp to spend, at at rank 10 thats only 20pp, so added +10 knockback. Fixed Thats fine, swaped it to a Strike attack, with a few exstras (Gives him more combat options anyway)

Question, is there a Chinatown in Freedom city? if so were? I went looking today but i couldn't find anything.

Players Name: Kavos Power Level: 10 (153pp) PP Unspent: 2 Characters Name: Aaron Shui (Aaron Water in english) Alternate Identity: Shui Dragon Height: 5’0 Weight: 65 Hair: Black Eyes: Glowing Water Age: 16 Description: Aaron is small and runty; he has long dark brown hair that he keeps done up in a topknot. When not running around as a hero he can be found wearing his school uniform, a simple black and white Chinese attire. However when Aaron is on-the-job he wares a special outfit made for him by his grandmother. The Flowing robe is made form the finest blue silk. White silk trims the edges, while blue topaz stones act as buttons. A golden bracelet etched with water dragons, sharing a blue teardrop topaz gem, and backed buy a large water drop emblem sits over his topknot. A golden pin tipped with two blue topaz holds the object in place. a small blue mask fits around his eyes to help hide his identity. History: Aaron Shui is first generation Asian American. His grandfather and head of the family deciding to move the family there not twenty years ago. The Shui family has always been lucky, no matter what happens they somehow always pull through with little to no damage. No matter what the family decides to do doors just seem to open. While not a rich family they have never needed to beg for anything, always having what they needed when they needed it. The source of their luck they believed came from a small family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation for more than five thousand years. It was tradition in the house that every generation, the eldest must perform a coming of age ceremony in which they must touch the small pearl like pendant. It was this very ceremony that led to Aaron’s new life. On his sixteenth birthday Aaron was summoned to the family shrine in order to perform the thousand-year-old ceremony. Dressed in his best Aaron made his way down the hall. His parents and aunts and uncles standing on the side of the room bowing towards him. At the front of the room stood his Grandfather, his Grandmother sitting off to the side watching with a smile on her face. For it was an important ceremony. It meant that the responsibility to lead the family was now over for her and her husband and that now they could retire, for with this ceremony Aaron, despite his age would be considered the head of the family, although at least in a few years he would be. For the time the responsibility fell to his parents, until Aaron was ready to take the role himself. Approaching his grandfather Aaron bowed in honour and gracefully accepted the chest that held the family pendent. Upon opening the chest, Aaron was taken aback buy the beauty of the small pendant. It appeared as a small star shaped pendant, made entirely of pearl, how they managed to make it like that Aaron didn’t know and this was certainly not the time or the place to contemplate such matters. In the center of the pearl pendant sat a single spherical blue topaz as clear as pure water. Taking the pendant carefully in his hand, he began the ceremony. Just as Aaron had finished reading the text, he felt a drop of water in his palm where he held the pendent. Opening his palm in confusion he was petrified to see a large crack across the face of the topaz gem. Suddenly without further warning the gem shattered, sending gallons of water out into the room. The water shot passed and around the scared family, until it came to rest as a large blob in the centre of the chamber, were it than took on the shape of a Dragon. “I am Shui.†The Dragon stated to the family as they stared in fear. “I have protected your family since the time of the Dragon-king. You are the direct descendents of one of the five great houses that keep the balance in the world. Five thousand years ago we were sealed into the pendants to protect that balance, but now we must break those seals in order to maintain balance. You will be my vassal Aaron Shui you are the head of the Shui family now, and I cannot wait for another. I am sorry for what I must do…†The Dragon spoke slowly and in a kind voice, sadness crept into his voice at the last of his comments, before suddenly lashing forth. The water dragon leaped forth, hitting Aaron in the chest. Instead of knocking him back though, the dragon seemed to pass into him, being absorbed into every molecule of his body. Aaron gasped for air as the remainder of the dragon entered the freighted boy, his mother screaming out in fear, his father, uncles and grandfather rushing to his aid but to no avail. Aaron began to sway on the spot, as he drifted into and out of consciousness, the ritual completing itself with his eyes fading into pools of glowing water, his soul and that of the dragon now merged… forever. In the months that followed that fateful day, Aaron has learnt to accept his fate. He spends most of his days going to school (With a pare of sunglasses to try and hide his eyes, however most of the students know something is up.), or helping out with the various family ventures going on (The family owns a small herbal medicine shop, as well as a traditional Chinese restaurant as well as a small Martial Arts school, and a small tailoring shop.). Aaron constantly butts heads with Shui, as the dragon being over five thousand years old and isn’t quite as ‘hip’ as he should be and Aaron being too young and impatient has caused many a squabble. Despite their differences they have learned to work together, even the family has gotten use to the idea, in fact some have even gone as far to change their businesses to water dragon themes (although Aaron’s dual nature is strictly a secret.). Aaron, with the pushing of Shui, has also taken to super-heroism, much to the distraught of Aaron’s mother, although Shui was able to calm her down when he explained that because of their dual nature Aaron couldn’t actually be killed, at least not permanently. So with the help of his grandmother, and the guidance of Shui Aaron now does his super heroism wearing what Shui calls “Traditional Royal Shui robes.†Or in Aaron’s terms, “old stuffy clothing that he’s embarrassed to go outside in.†But despite all of this, Aaron is about to set of and restore balance to the world… Stats: 16pp Str: 13 (+1) Dex: 15 (+2) Con: 14 (+2) Int: 12 (+1) Wis: 12 (+1) Cha: 10 (+0) Combat: 20pp Attack: +5 [unarmed +1 bruised] Defense: +5* (3 Flat footed) Initiative: 10 Grapple: +6 Saves: 15pp Toughness: +10/2* (2 flat footed) Fortitude: +7 Reflex: +7 Will: +6 *Without force field Skills: 11pp (44 Ranks) Acrobatics: 15 (+17) Climb: (+1) Concentration: 15 (+16) Escape Artist: (+2) Arcane Lore: 6 (+5) Notice: 4 (+5) Search: (+1) Sense Motive: (+1) Stealth: (+2) Survival: 4 (+5) Swim: (+1) Feats: 10pp Favored Environment (Water) Improved Initiative [2] Evasion [2] Uncanny Dodge [ultra-Hearing] Quick change Fearless Diehard Eidetic Memory Environmental adaption (underwater) Fear [2] DC 10, 10 feet Powers: 80pp Immunity: 13 Ranks [13pp] -Drowning -Cold -Pressure -All Water Effects Immortality: 1 Rank [5pp] -Immunity Aging -Immunity Disease -Immunity Poison -Regeneration 1 –True Resurrection Super-Sensors: 2 Ranks [2pp] -Ultra-Hearing -Ultra-Vision Water Control 20 Ranks [40pp] Dynamic [1pp] [17pp AP powers] -Hydro-Blast [Dynamic] 10 Ranks -Knock back +7 -Indirect +3 -Shui Dragon Strike [Dynamic] 10 Ranks -[Linked] Nauseate 10 Ranks -Create Object [Limited Water [Dynamic] 20 Ranks -Current Control [boost/Drain Swimming] [Dynamic] 20 Ranks -Hidden Mist [Obscure][Dynamic] 20 Ranks [Visual Only] -Snare [Water Bubble: Two thirds water control rank] 10 Ranks -Regeneration +1 -Suffocation +1 -Airwalking 2 [4pp][Dynamic] -[linked] speed 5] [5pp] [top speed 250mph][9pp] -Insubstantial 1[Dynamic] 1 Rank -Swimming 20 Ranks -Healing Mist Breath: 10 Ranks -Persistent -Re-growth -Resurrection -[Flaw] Limited to others -1 -Force Field [Dynamic] 8Ranks -Impervious [Powers listed are at full power, Power level will lower if used with other powers] Drawback: -Vulnerable: -1 Fire [Minor weakness to fire -high heat evaporates water] -Vulnerable: -2 Earth [Mid weakness to Earth -earth absorbs water] Complication: -Dual spirit (His soul is permanently fused with that of a dragon, which can cause conflicts between who controls the body.) -Noticeable (Eyes are Pools of Glowing Water, making a normal life near impossible.

(According to Chinese mythology.) They would not be villains, although not necessarily heroes either. Shui would likely butt heads a bit with Fire and Earth, but get along well with Wood, and Metal.

You’re probably right, i do have a tendency to do things backwards, and overly complicate them. Ok so I think I have it sorted, I'll need to go through and make sure I can fit it all in PowerPoint wise. If you have say water control dynamic does that mean all sub abilities are dynamic as well? Or do I have to buy the dynamic for each of them?

Is there a way for possession to be placed on a device? (So the dragon's essence is bound to say a pendent, and if someone puts the pendent on and reads the Inscription, the dragon can than possess the host?) I was thinking along the lines that the Dragon aspect of the character lays dormant inside the pendent until someone activates it, thus granting the host a number of abilities of the Dragon that resides in the pendent. Alternatively, The Dragon essence could be asleep in the pendent, and when activated buy the host, instead of a possession effect; it has the Shape change/morph effect. So in that case the Host is an ordinary human, with no special power, but the pendent allows the user to transform into an ancient water dragon. (Although I’m not quite sure about that. since what would happen to the Host, I would assume buy shape shifting/morph the Host becomes the one asleep in the pendent and the dragon the one with the pendent?) In that case it would be a shape change/morph device, with suspended animation and dimensional pocket effects it?

Hmm ok question, His main power array is Water control. Is it possible to link it with the Cold Control power? Or even Thermal control (Although I’m guessing the thermal control covers cold control but I’m not sure what it does for heat since there’s none that suite hot water?)

Cool, thanks guys. I think I have most of his powers worked out; I just need to work out point allotment and stuff. As well as refresh my memory on oriental culture. (Buy what I remember he would probably be a Ti-lung dragon meaning earth Dragon, the Dragons that control rivers/lakes and oceans.

Oh i had a great idea for a character, I think I’ll go with this one. (I’ll make up one of the others later on.) Basically the character is a water dragon from Chinese myths, who has the Possession power (limited to willing hosts -As a rule he doesn’t jump around a lot, he'd spend most if not all of his time in a single host, only coming out if he thinks its absolute necessary, and than he would prefer to return to the same host again -assuming the host is still alive-) Now the questions i have are; [1] How do I do his actual form? I was thinking of having it [Alter form: liquid, Perm, Linked Growth] although since he's not a human shape would he need [shapechange (Perm)] linked in there as well? [2] How would i go with some of the abilities? Since some abilities he can use while possessing the host, others only affect him and no the host. For example the host could use all his water control powers, but he doesn’t get the dragons natural regeneration abilities. And I apologise now, I can sometimes be a little bit of a handful and scatterbrained :D
