Brown Dynamite

The other heroes rushed into the thick of things.  Five years ago, Glamazon would've been right there with them.  But the Claremont Alum had picked up a few things from her private education and more level-headed friends.  And among those things was the importance of crowd control.  So she went along with Dreadnought's plan and did indeed do her.

 

"Warriors!  Now is the time to temper your hearts.  Come, let us entrench in the encampments so that you may protect your parents.  Once that is done, the Daughter of the Seas will present these fiends with the grandest gift.  The fortune of combat!"  Thaelia bellowed out to the children.  Openly noting that the moment they were safe, she was going to join Pinnacle and Dreadnought.  Placing her faith in the others, but partly hoping they would save some of the fun for her.

 

When she moved to Freedom City it was being attacked by alien robots.  Last year alien robots.  And while she wasn't quite sure about the interdimensional particulars of the Terminus outside of the stories told in mage circles, she still felt it all came down to one thing.  Alien robots really seemed to hate New Jersey.

In Brief:  Goth Teenager turned into metal

Alternate Identity:  Tabitha Teresa Hannigan
Identity: Public

Birthplace: Odessa, Texas

Occupation: Student

 

Description:

Age: 16

Gender:  Female

Height: 5'6

Weight: 234 lbs.

Eyes: Hazel (Before)/ Silver (Presently)

Hair: Black (With Colored Highlights )/ Silver (Presently)

Tabitha skin is metallic and reflective making her stand out wherever she goes.  Her hair is often styled in a cybergothic style with features such as tendrils, wisps, a shaved side and nape and lastly colored synthetic dreads running down her back.  In public she often dons a black hoodie to hide her features, but being a metallic girl of above average height tends to dampen the effects a hoodie can have up close.

 

 

 

History:

Odessa, TX is known for two things.  Violent crime and High School football.  And Tabitha Teresa Hannigan did not have a predisposition to either.  She worked after school in the local animal hospital, attended church functions, and aside from her style of dress did not really cause trouble for her family.  However, Tabitha's social life wasn't quite as expansive as her more popular twin brother who was the star wide receiver on their high school football team.  So she began seeking online correspondences in her spare time as a means of striking up new friendships.

 

Tabitha may have been more withdrawn than her brother.  But, she wasn't a fool.  A teenage black girl in a small Texas city meeting up with a stranger online was a possible contender Cartel kidnapping in the making or any other story with the potential to find itself as a Lifetime movie one day.  So she asked her brother to come with her to meet this mystery paramour.  Worst case scenario she was being catfished, best case scenario she was going to be the weird kid who took her brother on her first date.

In retrospect, the scenario could always get worse.  Sure, there was a teenage boy there who appeared all too keen to meet his sister.  But,  the pizza place was a cover facility established decades ago.  So what appeared to be an empty pizza shop with only employees and a cute teenage boy, quickly turned into an ambush by a group of middle-aged men whose faces seem to vanish from the teen's memories as quickly as they entered.  The next week was a blur as they underwent experimentation in the DnAscent process.  If not for the timely intervention of Captain Thunder, there was a good chance that the pair would have been sold off for some nefarious purpose.

 

Their parents were grateful to have their children returned to them.  But ill-equipped for the difficulties of raising powered children.  So when the invitation to Claremont Academy came. With a personal assurance from the headmaster herself that the school was uniquely suited to help their children safely harness their gifts and as.  They accepted for the sake of Tremayne and Tabitha.

 

 

Personality & Motivation:

Tabitha does not want to be a superheroine.  In fact, she doesn't want to be a super anything.  And would like nothing more than to undo the DnAscent process which has permanently changed her skin to living metal.  Making the best of the situation, and playing along with what she deems as her brother's childish whims she has gone along with the whole hero thing for now.  

 

Powers (Descriptions & Tactics):

The Spectacle is as tough and strong as steel.  Her flesh and organs have been converted to a living metal. Making her stronger than any ordinary man, but far from the most powerful thing around.  As such, Tabitha has elected to use the 52 Blocks fighting style.  Having picked up what older members of the congregation know as the method during Church meetups, The Spectacle's tactic in combat is a singular focus on close combat.  She also acts as shield for her brother during combat.  Protecting him from the hail of gunfire his more vulnerable flesh is less equipped to handle.

In Brief:  High School Football Star turned living generator

Alternate Identity:  Tremayne Hannigan
Identity: Private

Birthplace: Odessa, Texas

Occupation: Student

 

Description:

Age: 16

Gender:  Male

Height: 6'1

Weight: 200 lbs.

Eyes: Hazel

Hair: Black (With Colored Tips)

Tremayne is a muscular teenager with long black dreads.  The tips of his dreads are colored in autumn colors such as orange, and yellow.  His posture can be best described as nervous outside of his costume.  Hunched forward with his head held down by nature Tremayne attempts to avoid drawing attention to himself.  His right chest and arm are covered in a large and intrinsic tattoo sleeve with images representing his family, team members, and accomplishments on the football field.

His superhero costume is a repurposed football uniform colored black and gold with a visor added to obstruct his face.  The center of the jersey has two lightning bolts.  With an A emblem on his gloves as a tribute to a catchphrase he used during his football days, "Shock and Awe" now serving as his team name with his sister.  Much to her chagrin. 

 

History:

Odessa, TX is known for two things.  Violent crime and High School football.  And Tremayne Hannigan was high school football.  Despite being an underclassman the young wide receiver's average yardage made him a leading scorer in his division.  His future was bright.

 

That was until Tremayne's twin sister asked for him to accompany her to meet her online penpal.  Teresa may have been more withdrawn than her brother.  But, she wasn't a fool.  A teenage black girl in a small Texas city meeting up with a stranger online was a possible contender Cartel kidnapping in the making or any other story with the potential to find itself as a Lifetime movie one day.  Personally, Tremayne was half expecting to find some middle age old man in the pizza parlor his sister had agreed to meet.

In retrospect, he wasn't really wrong.  Sure, there was a teenage boy there who appeared all too keen to meet his sister.  But,  the pizza place was a cover facility established decades ago.  So what appeared to be an empty pizza shop with only employees and a cute teenage boy, quickly turned into an ambush by a group of middle-aged men whose faces seem to vanish from the teen's memories as quickly as they entered.  The next week was a blur as they underwent experimentation in the DnAscent process.  If not for the timely intervention of Captain Thunder, there was a good chance that the pair would have been sold off for some nefarious purpose.

 

Their parents were grateful to have their children returned to them.  But ill-equipped for the difficulties of raising powered children.  So when the invitation to Claremont Academy came. With a personal assurance from the headmaster herself that the school was uniquely suited to help their children safely harness their gifts and as.  They accepted for the sake of Tremayne and Tabitha.

 

Personality & Motivation:

Tremayne is a boy scout both in personality and in the actual association.  Adventurous, prepared, and always willing to put others first.  Fiercely protective of his sister, his only motivation of going to Claremont was to look out for her.  At least that's what he's willing to admit openly.  In fact, he misses being part of a team and as High School sports are out of the picture he is looking for something new to belong to as well.  

 

Powers (Descriptions & Tactics):

Sureshock can generate a massive amount of electrical energy and harness it as he wills.  Under Captain Thunder's tutelage, Tremayne learned to fire off arcs of electricity capable of leaping from target to target in a chain before grounding itself.  Putting his hands together he can create a searingly bright flash of electricity capable of blinding anyone looking in his direction.  Modulating the electricity he fires off, Sureshock is capable of stunning their nervous system akin to a taser.  Furthermore, by draining all electric power in an area around him, Sureshock is capable of deactivating Electrical equipment.  As this isn't meant to overload equipment it will leave them unharmed, unlike an EMP.  A field of electromagnetic repulsion surrounds him slightly protecting him from harm.

 

Tremayne's brain is different now.  He isn't quite aware of it, but the way his brain interprets electrical impulses fired off by the neurons is altered enough to provide a level of resistance from mental control.

 

Complications:

Conductor:   Surrounding Sureshock in a conductive material, or using electrically conductive equipment such as power cables might draw off stores of electricity, draining him like a battery faster than the stored electrical energy can be replenished
NRG:  Tremayne generates a massive amount of electrical energy which exists in a sort of state of homeostasis within his body.  Affecting that stability either through massive amounts of damage or overloading his body with more electricity can affect the electrical impulses in his body leading to temporary medical conditions such as seizures, mental confusion, hallucinations, or whatever else the GM feels appropriate.

Ride the Lightning:  Tremayne feels drawn to the “rush” of absorbing or conducting electricity. When properly controlled it can stimulate the brain’s pleasure centers unless his mind is compromised then he can find his pain centers being stimulated again.
Shock the System:  Accidents happen and, in a modern world where everything runs on electronics, it’s fairly easy for electrical powers to short-out or overload computers, electrical wiring, and power systems, causing blackouts, system crashes, and all of their associated problems.  Control of his powers can occasionally slip away from him causing such issues.

A liquid spill has made my keyboard very tempermental will be back tomorrow after it has yet another day to dry.

If the Water Walking is not limited to while running, Singularity can stand on water.  If that's what you want that's fine.  But, otherwise you could up the speed or put something else in the slot with the PP saved by limiting it to while moving.

Why'd I hop on his plane after him?  Dalir had told Amir when they met that he didn't drink.  That was true then.  And it was true now.  But, rather than take the moment to place himself in further contention with the man whom he viewed as a father in name only he simply shook his head.  An alien invasion was far outside of his comfort zone.  And the last thing he wanted was to be compared to the man sitting across from him who looked to be perfectly comfortable.  At least at this moment.  Booking a magic show in Santa Fe, complete with a stand-in to mock Amir was another matter.

 

But, Dalir couldn't let his inexperience show.  It was an Entertainer's job to keep the crowd lively.  Even when dealing with...robots.  He wasn't really sure what omegadrones were.  But, alien robots seemed to make sense.  Considering he was barely three when the Terminus last made an appearance it was about as interesting as learning about the USSR.  Which was to say not very.

 

A decision he found himself regretting in this moment.  Perhaps reciting Durud for the prophet wasn't a bad suggestion.  

Thaelia's gods weren't quite so hands on.  They were probably looking on somewhat bemused by the whole affair.  Not that her mortal family had sprung to action either.  Granted, the Atlantean military didn't quite move as fast as the self-proclaimed Daughter of the Seas.  But, a day was more than enough time to mount aid.  Had they heard of the situation.  Truth be told her role as an ambassador often left her isolated from communication with her family as Atlantis would be wary to keep an open line of communication that could be hijacked.

 

"I am acting as the Praetor.  Master at arms not drills."  Glamazon corrected Dreadnought in the military title she had given herself for the child fighting force.  Before spreading her arms wide open.  "Welcome small ones.  Steady your heart, for today your hearts will be tempered into steel sharper than any blade."  Ignoring the fact that the makeshift sticks weren't even sharpened or shaped like swords Thaelia was clearly into her role.  It was one she wasn't unfamiliar with having undergone the same drills underwater herself.

 

Still, it was a production.  Glamazon wasn't what one would call deceitful.  In fact, asking her to tell a lie was akin to asking the ocean to be dry.  But,  she had no intention of sieging a fighting force with children or the like either.   But all good Atlantean children knew tag just wasn't as fun as military drills.  And up until know the Surfacer children had not diverted from that mentality either.

Foreshadow set four glasses on the table next to him with an open bottle.  Well, open was a rather generous description for a bottle which had been shattered halfway to the top.  But, it was the one the prescient Acrobat had chosen.  "I've been doing some redecorating, you like?  Personally, I think I used a little too much red.  It really clashes with my decor."  Foreshadow joked as he began pouring scotch from the broken bottle into glasses.  "It's more convenient to pretend to be drunk to sneak into a place than to actually be drunk.  All smoke and mirrors, y'know?  But, what use is a fifty-year-old single malt scotch in selling the fancy lifestyle when its container is down to bar weapon status?"

 

Erick Sloane was born the year of the last Terminus Invasion (that he knew of).  To him, they were just the campfire story to pass around.  Sure, Erick knew Galstandard thanks to David deciding to learn the language after he captured an Omegadrone working for the mob.  That still limited his alien involvement to training his Belgian Malinois, Caesar, to respond to commands in an alien language and tracking down computronium smuggling rings throughout Europe.  Dodging bullets over entropic energy blasts was what bred familiarity to Foreshadow even to this day.

 

The invasion was swift and without warning.  Unlike the Communion which gave enough preparation for all of the Vanguard to mobilize.  This time Foreshadow found himself operating alone, much like he started in Freedom City.  Really, he wasn't sure if his message was going to attract anyone.  Much less his chances of keeping them after they heard just exactly how many droves of  Omegadrone were spotted near the Nuclear plant.  Not that it would have deterred him from heading to the plant alone if need be.  He was just glad that it hadn't come to that. 

 

Pursing his lips he smiled with renewed resolve.  Normally this would be the part where there was a formal exchange of figurative business cards.  But, if someone wore a mask or in this case helmets.  That was all he needed to know about their willingness to put their lives on the line.  Besides, it wasn't as if the Omegadrones had shown any degree of subterfuge past cloaking thus far.  So the likelihood of getting stabbed by one of these three was slim to none.  

 

"So, who wants to do something crazy today?"

Tagging @TheAbsurdist and @angrydurf too having just seen you put the thread up just in case they weren't aware either!

"Our lines of defense grow most favorably.  The children wish to be called the Rangers of Power.  The name is nonsense yet it pleases them."   The look on the children's faces made no secret of the fact that she had somewhat mangled the name they wished to go by.  Causing a mixture of giggles in response to her very particular choice of diction.  "You, on the other hand, do not look well."

 

Thaelia glanced at Braugher's injured arm.  As possibly the last person in the area with a scale of how grievous an injury was Thaelia was not sure of the level of concern she should have for the sight in front of her.  So she asked, "How do you fare?  Your iron steed appears to have seen better days, I worry you pursue a fate most calamitous with an injured sword-arm."  

 

In her Claremont Attending youth, it would often be Mali who drove the group around in their free time.  With a somewhat comfortable pocketbook, the experience certainly colored how the Atlantean viewed what a car in good condition was.  And that ambulance was far from pristine.  Not helped by the fact that Glamazon usually treated vehicles as makeshift weapons.  Leaving the service vehicle looking much like the aftermath of what happened when she got a hold of one.

Cool cool

"THRUST!"  The Atlantean princess known to the world at large as the Glamazon shouted at the top of her lungs.  The twenty children lined up in front of her moving their wooden sticks in unison.  Atlantean battle drills weren't quite as traditional a means of entertaining children as Hide and Seek.  But, the kids were apparently enjoying the turn of events. Her eyes glanced over to towards the Ambulance downhill.  Thaelia made it a habit to examine every vehicle.  Thaelia couldn't see through metal, but her otherworldly sight could still see through many a matter of deception.  If a vehicle were to hide an assaulting force she would be ready.  In her opinion, security was the only thing she could contribute to the citizens.

 

Thaelia was reckless, boastful, and overconfident.  But, she was not a fool.  The Freedom League Auxiliary member knew where her strength lied.  And they were not in the realm of medicine, so she made no immediate attempts to near the ambulance. Such self-assurance left her not realizing the boon caused by her attempts to rile the spirits of the displaced.  Which admittedly, aside from the children, the fact that Atlanteans were the last large invading force in the city had done her no favors in this endeavor.

 

From the moment hell figuratively ripped open and those mechanical abominations flew through the skies Thaelia had dived ride into the thick of things.  She had actually swum from Greenland without a second's hesitation.  Without so much of a consideration of shutting her eyes and going to sleep.  Whether the wooden sticks fashioned into pretend swords or trucks no longer in condition to drive up the hill.  Not a moment had gone by that Thaelia wasn't carrying something the past day.

 

"More explosiveness little ones!  If your thrusts are too shallow the wound will not be mortal!"

So @Avenger Assembled, @Electra , and @KnightDisciple.  I took some liberties starting it in Foreshadow's Freedom City Base.  Kept Vague what they could have learned in the past few days of the invasion.  But, here you go thus begins Suicide Squad Freedom City edition.  The totally safe mission to take out one of the three generators with a somehow less wordy title than this.  

Sloane Manor
North Bay, Freedom City New Jersey
Thursday, July 12th, 2018
4:02 PM

 

Erick Sloane's beachfront villa in North Bay was far from untouched.  The prior day's assault on Kingston left much of the surrounding upper-class neighborhoods in a state of disarray.  And North Bay was no exception.  Especially after an entirely new force from the Terminus emerged to fight against both the Resistance Force and the invading force.  Ironically, it seemed as if for the first time in the history of Freedom City someone could make the claim that the Fens was the safest neighborhood to live in.  Of course, most residents didn't have a sprawling underground headquarters in their villas.

 

A team of heroes had been risking their lives gathering and spreading information and equipment covertly to the Resistance in the city.   The latest transmission pinpointed where one of the power sources for the device generating portals into the city was.  Unfortunately, said generator was currently guarded by what had to be one of the largest armies of the Terminus sighted thus far.  To make matters worse it was positioned deep inside the Raymond Nuclear Power Plant. Which had seen extensive renovations by Daedalus of the Freedom League to convert the plant into a virtual fortress.  In short, any attempts to destroy the generator would be a suicide mission.

Foreshadow sent a recruitment transmission through his headquarter's computer with the hope that anyone nearby would answer the call.  When Sea Devil, Singularity, and Cobalt Templar arrived they found piles of Omegadrone armors strewn throughout the sprawling manor.  The inside of the home appearing as if an explosive had been set off with the stench of entropic energies wafting through the air.  Having to step over the burnt and battered Omegadrones they would find an open bookshelf that at one point covered the staircase that led down into Foreshadow's Forebode.  The computer's holographic display had a Power Pike sticking through it slightly covering the top leftmost point on the 3d layout of the Raymond Nuclear Plant.  A hooded man stood in the center of the room his back turned to the staircase, a dark blue cape flowing in tatters.

Sorry to hear that Sailor, take care of yourself.  But, if you do find yourself feeling up to it, after all, let us know.

 

Also,

 

If we need another in Dakana, Dalir can spend some quality time with dear old illegitimate dad ASAD.

Did Satan smell like rotten eggs?  If so Óscar couldn't have helped but feel as if he had descended down yet another layered circle of Hell.  But, that was the thing with the city.  You could never hit rock bottom because things could keep getting worse.  I don't know what the hell smells like that.  But, it definitely wasn't a shooting.  I guess I have no choice but to take a peak.

 

Worst case scenario, Óscar would have to make a run for it he was spotted.  But, the unfamiliar stench of sulfur with the all too familiar smell of death was not giving him enough information.  Slowly as he inched near the room the first step was checking if the hotel window was open and unlocked.  If not he could theoretically, fix that.  It wouldn't be quiet.  But, it could be done.

 

That was, of course, counting on the windows not being barred.  Sure, barred windows were a safety hazard.  But, some owners would much rather protect their property than their customers.

I suppose I could volunteer as Tribute!  To run the Freedom Macguffin thread.

Óscar wasn''t a hired dick.  Slumming it in hotel alleyways to spy on the affluent likely engaging in extramarital affairs wasn't his idea of a productive morning.  But, unfortunately, stopping by the neighborhood donut shop did not seem to be a priority for his body.  Or rather the spirit that shared his body.  His dreams were rather intrusive.  Visions of death and suffering plaguing them.  Almost as if he was on autopilot the Hispanic man found himself lurking outside of the hotel.  A deep sense of rage blistering beneath the surface covered behind a thick veneer of pure exhaustion.

 

He hadn't seen the body yet.  The Bedlam Police weren't good at their jobs by any means.  But, they certainly weren't about to leave a scruffy looking half-asleep civilian walk in and start sniffing a crime scene.  Of course, Óscar didn't actually need to be in the room to gather information.  He just needed to get close enough to pick up a scent or overhear something useful.  It all depended on how diligent the police would be on making sure no one ascended through the fire escape access in the hotel alleyway.

Hm.  It's tough to pick between Argonaut and Glamazon.  I think I'll only lean to Glamazon because I can at least still stick Argonaut in a vignette.

 

Now, I would rather not GM.  Not out of lack of interest in doing so.  But, because my activity has been questionable.  But, if the need is there I'll gladly do a Defensive Raid in an AEGIS HQ.  Maybe the Iceberg itself.

I suppose I should stretch Hellhound's legs if you're looking for Bedlam.

The bad news is that your powers section was 1pp short, so that had to be corrected while I was in the neighborhood.

 

The good news is that your pp total was also 2pp too high, and you had 24pp unspent, not 14. So even with all these edits and math corrections, you....have 16pp unspent. - Fox

 

Glamazon

 

So 14pp to spend.  Let's get her up to PL14.

 

Add +2 Enhanced Base Attack, and +2 Enhanced Base Defense [8PP]

 

This does have the effect of increasing her Grapple Score and her Flat-Footed Defense becomes +2/+5

 

Spend 3PP on Takedown Attack 2 and Accurate Attack

 

And...eh we'll save the rest of the pp.
