  1. If you saw the original, I was strained to even hit the 150. I'll take your word for it though.
  2. A lot of the wonky numbers are from me changing things around during creation and forgetting to fix absolutely everything (his strength and constitution were higher during creation, and I forgot to fix the modifiers). I am used to the creation style and scale of other RPGs like D&D and Legend of the Five Rings, so this has been a bit of a learning experience. The time/scale chart has really thrown me off. I'll get to fixing everything you addressed, but I may also retool Mala Suerte as a PL7 character.
  3. Player Name: Highwind Character Name: Mala Suerte Power Level: 10 (150/152PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent PP: 2 Progress To Bronze Status: 2/30 In Brief: Personal Trainer who was in the wrong place at the right time and now is being haunted by a luchador ghost with an incredibly strong sense of justice and in possession of a mask of incredible power. Slowly getting in touch with his inner hero. Alternate Identity: Marco Alvarado Identity: Secret Birthplace: Miami, FL, USA Occupation: Personal Trainer at local gym Affiliations: None Family: Very large extended family, most of whom are in Miami or other parts of Florida. He lives with a slightly older cousin, Jesus Alvarado (25, car salesman) in Freedom City. Description: Age: 24 (DoB: November 1986) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Hispanic-American Height: 6'0" Weight: 200 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Marco practically lives in the gym most days, and is in very good shape as a result. He's tall and muscular, but due to a repeatedly-broken nose is actually somewhat ugly. His skin is a light brown, and his black hair is kept very short. He has no identifying scars or tattoos anywhere on his body. When working, he wears a plain-colored shirt, athletic shorts, sneakers, and a black sports watch. Off-hours he wears whatever, but does focus on appearance a lot and tries to dress nice. Usually has a gym bag with his Mala Suerte outfit on him at all times, or has it in his car. The Mala Suerte costume's most important factor is the mask. The fabric is mainly a white color, with a large red star over the face. Around the eyeholes is a yellow outline, and there is a small slit for him to breathe through the nose, but there is no hole for his mouth. He wears red tights with white stripes on the outside and front of either leg, and yellow boots. He also wears a cape with a white outside and red fabric on the inside. He usually takes this off when fighting. Power Descriptions: Mala Suerte has been infused with the power of his predecessor, and possibly the spirit of Lucha Libre itself. When wearing his mask, Mala Suerte gains physical prowess far beyond human capability History: Marco was always an athletic kid. He grew up with several older brothers, and even at a younger age could beat them at soccer, basketball, and football. In High School, he was a Wide Receiver on the football team, and graduated with average grades. He went to a 2-year college, and then got a job as a personal trainer down in Miami. When he was 23, everything changed. For Christmas, he went down to visit extended family in Chetumal, Mexico. When coming back from drinking with his cousin Jesus one night, they heard some commotion in a nearby alleyway. Marco saw a luchador staggering out, having been severely burned and bruised. He was being pursued by several armed men. Marco intervened, and helped fight the rest of these men off. However, the luchador took mortal wounds, and died shortly afterwards. He took off his mask, and handed it to Marco, telling him he had a spirit of lucha, and was a worthy successor. Marco left Mexico shaken. For the next several weeks, he could swear that the mask was talking to him, beckoning for him to put it on. One day, he finally broke and donned the mask. When he did so, Marco felt the incredible power of Lucha surge through him, and heard the voice of the original Mala Suerte clearly. The original Mala Suerte told Marco he must continue his legacy, and use his powers for good. Marco told the spirit that he was stupid and crazy. However, after some convincing from his cousin Jesus, Marco gave it a try. He broke up a conflict between two gangs one night, and attempted to subdue them to get the cops to arrive. That nearly killed him. He's been getting better since, and now has a full costume instead of just wearing the mask over whatever he had on at the moment. A while later, Jesus told Marco he was getting transferred to Freedom City, and offered to have him come as a roommate, since it was kind of the Superhero Capital of the World. He agreed, since he was getting on bad terms with his landlord. He hasn't done any supering since arriving, mainly out of fear of playing with the big leagues. Personality & Motivation: Marco was always taught to mind his own business, not to stick his neck out and get himself killed. "Think of your family before you go risking yourself for a total stranger" he was told. He always went with it. After Mexico and becoming Mala Suerte though, he has begun throwing this out of the window. He doesn't casually risk his life, but has received major injuries protecting others as Mala Suerte. However, the spirit of the mask asks for more. It wants Marco to be Mala Suerte full-time. To live like his predecessor did. Marco doesn't know if he's ready to do that, especially since he's worried about his family being targeted. in his free time, Marco likes working out and going to clubs. He practically lives in the gym he works at. He's skilled at sports, especially soccer. He's a decent cook, mainly because his cousin somehow messes up making Easy Mac. Powers & Tactics: When wearing the Sacred Mask of Mala Suerte, he gains supernatural strength, reflexes, speed, and endurance. He uses wrestling moves when super-ing to disable enemies. Either by the mask's influence or his own inner ham awakening, Mala Suerte is fond of really flashy displays of skill. He has very limited ranged attack abilities, so has to stick with close range combat. Complications: Secret: Identity Secret-Keeper: Marco's cousin Jesus is the only person alive who knows that he is Mala Suerte. He's also been seen in public with Mala Suerte back in Miami.
