Spacefurry Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Paper Power Level: 12, but built as 10 (187/215PP) Unspent Power Points: 28PP Trade-Offs: None In Brief: Reformed juvenile criminal with the power to control and shape paper, still has a slight authority problem Catchphrase: None Theme: ‘The Anthem’ by Good Charlotte Alternate Identity: Leon Moore (Secret) Birthplace: Seattle, WA Residence: Claremont Academy Base of Operations: Claremont Academy Occupation: Student Affiliations: Claremont Academy Family: Foster brother and sister Description: Age: 19 (DoB: March 19, 2004) Apparent Age: 19 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5' 10" Weight: 180 lbs. Eyes: Grey Hair: Black Description: Black hair, cut short and brushed back except for a few bangs that won't cooperate. Leon keeps himself in shape, and trains to keep his agility. He likes to dress casually in his free time, anime/cartoon themed t-shirts and jeans usually. His ‘costume’ use to typically consists of a black short sleeved shirt with red trim, blue jeans and sneakers. He has though agreed to a change of colors to reflect the school’s colors. This is easy for him since his ‘costume’ is usually made of paper made to look and act like regular clothing. This is accompanied by a slim, black backpack with a few various books in it at any time, along with some personal items. Several small black pockets on straps around arms (1 on each), thighs (2 on each) and 2 each hip of his belt. Each pocket is large enough to hold a deck of index cards. Hanging on back of the belt is a case that holds 2 large rolls of paper about the width of receipt tape and hundreds of yards long. History: Born in Seattle to a teen mother, she moved to Freedom City when he was still young with her then boyfriend. When Leon began to show signs of not being ‘normal’ the man abandoned them. His mother felt she could not take care of a ‘special’ child and surrendered him to the foster system without telling them of his ‘nature’. Shortly there after she returned to family in Seattle. Leon has not had any contact with her since. In the system since age 8, Leon was moved from home to home several times, unable to settle, acting up, and trying to run away. At first, he blamed his powers for his mother abandoning him. When he was 11 he landed in the same foster house as two other children hiding their powers. With their help he accepted his powers and embraced them. The three agreed that they could only rely on each other and swore to always be there for the each other. Believing the system was a failure and that no one else could or would see them as more then either a burden or a paycheck, the three ran away together and turned to small crimes to do what they thought they needed to survive. At the age of 16, Leon wanted to prove to his brother and sister that he could work solo; he broke into the Freedom City Museum to attempt to steal something. Before he could secure his prize an explosion rocked the building. In the resulting confusion a FCPD detective that was in the building entered the showroom Leon was in. A second, smaller explosion struck and part of the building collapsed inward. Without thinking, he moved to protect the detective with a shield of paper over them both, but he wasn’t fast enough and Leon was knocked out. After the events at the museum Leon was hospitalized. He woke days later to find he had lost his left arm mid-bicep, but thanks to his quick reaction the detective had escaped with only minor injuries. During the hearing that followed, the court gave special considerations for his selfless actions and young age, while he would not turn evidence against his siblings, a deal was reached. A representative from Claremont Academy had petitioned on his behalf and Leon agreed to attend the private school under probation. If, and when, Leon successfully graduates from Claremont he would be given a clean slate with the courts and his juvenile records will be sealed. At first he was rebellious and troublesome, but teachers quickly saw the seeds for a good kid buried under the anger of a rough life. In the time he has attended Claremont, Leon has grown in both power and sense of responsibility, although he would never admit to the latter himself. He hasn’t disclosed it to anyone yet, but relations with his brother and sister have become strained and he can’t understand why. Personality & Motivation: Leon has always been a bit of a show off. He was also the most ‘energetic’ of his trio of foster siblings. Not bad kids by nature, they simply felt let down and abandon by an over taxed system. Although feeling they had to do what they had to, to survive, none of them ever wanted to hurt anyone. Leon would never give up his siblings, and would never turn his back on them. He isn’t likely to trust anyone quickly, and even if he does, he would just be waiting for the other shoe to drop. If asked why he saved the officer he just shrugs and dismisses it as an act of stupidity on his part, not willing to admit he couldn’t stand to see someone get hurt. Power Descriptions: Leon can control and manipulate paper, altering its shape and strength at his will. He can make paper stronger than metal and sharper than any normal blade. He can make it solid enough to resist liquids and gas. He can even have it resist heat and fire to a point. It can easily protect from an explosion with little harm to the paper, but repeated or continued exposure could eat away at the paper eventually. Shaping it, he can create nearly anything from simple weapons and gear to clothing and simple golems. Many pieces of smaller papers can be melded into a single, seamless construction and when done with them the constructs fall apart into their original pieces, or what’s left of them. Aside from his power over paper, or perhaps more because of it, Leon has taught himself how to use simple weapons. These would cover most blades, clubs/maces, spears/staves, bows and arrows, and throwing objects. All things he can easily create with paper. Skill wise, Leon is quick and agile from practicing often. He is not overly strong, equal to anyone his size that works out every so often. He has also developed a firm sense of balance. Complications: And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation: Reputation: Leon and his foster siblings have records with the juvenile courts, and he doesn’t care if others know. Being predisposed to thinking that, in the end, everyone is looking out for themselves. It’s just a flesh wound: Disability: Leon lost his left arm not long ago during a robbery attempt. During the robbery Leon and a rookie officer were caught in a building collapse, he protected the officer, but his arm was crushed mid bicep. Leon uses his powers to create and maintain a paper arm that looks real enough.

Spacefurry Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Just noticed the ‘change log post’ bit. March 26 - changed age from 17 to 16 (meant to do that before posting, but it slipped by me) March 27 - fixed skills for proper total bonuses, adjusted PP for Paper Weapons; removed Contacts from Feats; added Extra: Area to Force Field March 28 - Removed Area and Selective from Force Field and added Impervious Edited March 28, 2020 by Spacefurry Link to comment
Fox Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Double-check the bonuses on skills; you're short-changing yourself on Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth. The paper weapons setting in the array is 17PP, by my count, but please do correct me if I'm misplaced some math. Per the notes in the character sheet template, all PP must be spent at character creation; Paper currently has 2pp to spend on something fun. Link to comment
Spacefurry Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Ack. >< My arch nemesis... math strikes again. Thanks for pointing those out. Completely missed fixing the paper weapons. I'll fix those tomorrow when I have the time. Link to comment
Fox Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The Mighty on that paper weapon won't do you any good - with a +0 strength bonus, it won't add anything. Since a +0 won't break anything either, and the slot's already under-budget, I'm fine with leaving it as well. APPROVED! Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 You know...I'm not okay with any kind of Area on Force Field. Maybe for civilians, but even then easily covered by Create Object. It's just too easy to help your fellow heroes break caps, and that's a no-no. Please do something else with those points. Link to comment
Spacefurry Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be an issue. I'll fix it. Link to comment
EternalPhoenix Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 All right, can't think of or see anything else. So get to class, young man. APPROVED Link to comment
