Poncho Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Turning this thread into a more general thread for all my half-made character/npc ideas. ----------------------------------------------- I am hoping to create a Claremont student for my first draft. I want to pull on stuff like Hourman/Minuteman combined with something like the Sentry for powers. The idea that he's been exposed to a extremely potent version of the Malanka Root serum that Minuteman and Patriot used, turning him into a Paragon, via the Sentry idea where he's got a much more potent version of the serum in his veins that has given his molecules the 'power of thousand exploding suns'. Though not so grandiose and supreme as that. To hearken back to the Minuteman/Hourman idea, I want his highest level powers to be limited in how long he can do them. I'm not sure exactly how putting 'Tiring' or a time limit would effectively work on his "Overheating" Container, so maybe someone could help me with that, right now I've just got them as complications. Getting them in as PP drawbacks on the actual container might let me raise his Saves a bit, but I think he looks okay as it is. The idea is supposed to be he can only go at PL10 for limited time per day, and it's carefully monitored since he's still getting used to his powers. I want him to be a sort of uptight and serious person who has dreams of doing a lot of good, to the point that his desires- while honest- can sometimes be off-putting. Like he's one of those kids whose had their entire life plotted out since they were like 8, and he's pursued it his whole life. Him getting super powers didn't knock him off the rails, they just changed the track he was on, and made his dreams bigger. I'm actually done with the sheet, but I wanted to put it here for a couple of days if someone wanted to comment on it before I submit it, in-case I missed something obviously wrong. Golden Star Power Level: 9 (150/150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: -2 Attack / +2 Damage, -2 Defense / +2 Toughness at PL 9. None at PL7 In Brief: Star Student turned Future Star Hero Catchphrase: He wants one but he's still work-shopping it. Theme: Alternate Identity: Michael Adon (Secret) Birthplace: Freedom City Residence: His Parent's House/Claremont High Occupation: Full-Time Student, Part-Time Superhero, Part-Time Everything Else Affiliations: His Family, Claremont, Sampson's Sodas Family: His Father, His Mother, his two brothers, and his best friend Sam Description: Age: 17 (DoB: 2006) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 6'4 Weight: 220lbs Eyes: Brown, but tend towards Orange or Red when overheating Hair: Brown, but tend towards Orange or Red when overheating Michael has all the looks of a golden boy; he’s got the broad shoulders and strong arms of the highschool quarterback, the square jaw and well done hair of the class president, the outgoing and happy nature of the most popular kid in class. He’s always wearing something that’s fancy, rather than trendy; he’s the kid who shows up in suits to events, knows how to tie his own tie. He polishes his shoes and irons his own clothes. His Super Suit is a red, white, and gold affair with red boots and shoes, a white bodysuit, and a sun on his chest, with a long, golden cape. History: Michael grew up as a kid in a middle-class household who idolized Superheroes like any other kid. But just as much as them, he idolized the politicians that helped them. You couldn’t be the Freedom League if the Government didn’t have people who supported them, after all. Michael never had any illusions about getting powers of his own; if it happened it’d be great, but he wasn’t waiting for it. Instead, he wanted to be a Human Hero. He wanted to be one of those politicians, helping make sure Heroes had what they needed; to be an advocate for them, and for those who were caught up in Supervillain plots. He was a super fan like no other, and had the drive to try and get there. He put in the effort to be good at everything; he worked hard at sports, joined the Junior World Congress, tried to get to know everyone in his classes and be a mediator. That sort of effort can make other people look at you weird, and Michael wasn’t immune to that, but his genuine nature and positive demeanor kept him on the right path, alongside some choice words from his father. “People look at you weird because they don’t know where they want to go, but you’ve got it all planned out.” People still look at him weird, but it’s not everyone and he doesn’t let the few who do get in the way of the rest of them. One of Michael’s best friends had always been Samantha Sanders, his best friend since childhood. Sam is Michael’s opposite; if he’s High-Strung, she’s Strung-Out, a chronic underachiever, who never had a good direction. Despite this, Sam and Michael have always been good friends; they argued like any friends would, but they’d also always have each other's backs, and when Sam needed some spare cash, Michael was able to parlay his one part-time job into two. The job was at Sampson’s Sodas, a local micro-soda company popular for weird, off-type soda formulas. They weren’t allowed to do any of the real mixing processes, but they helped bottle, fill up vats, and handled orders. It was a good job for a couple of kids, and the employee discount made them quite popular. But one night, a bunch of thugs from the Power-House broke into the company. It turned out that Sampson’s Sodas had a secondary purpose; attempting to further refine the legendary Malaka Root into even greater super powers. This was all on the up and up, a government contract instead of an attempt to corner the superhero market, but with the Power-House using the root for some of it’s enhancements, a little check on the competition had been considered a good idea. During their attempts to escape, Sam and Michael fell into a vat containing an unfinished prototype, one whose records had still been in the process of being written when the Power-House broke in. The scientist working on it was killed, and after the goons trashed the place and got out, Michael and Sam were rescued. A few days later, recovering in the hospital, the two realized they had super powers. Still developing and burgeoning, they grew fairly powerful, but it was clear they were also still at risk; they had more power than they could safely handle, and no one could figure out the formula they had been dumped in. Because of this, they were quickly shifted to Claremont High, in an attempt to make sure they didn’t burn themselves out or seriously injure themselves while getting used to their still-growing powers. Michael took the change with a little shell-shock but good-naturedly. He was going to finally get to be the superhero he always wanted to be. Heck, he could be a Superhero and a Politician. The idea of the first public Superhero Mayor, or maybe even Superhero President, dances in his mind. He was popular in his old school but now he’s coming into a new place where he is a brand new, untested individual, and that’s definitely going to cause some issues, but he’s excited for the challenge and excited to meet new people. Personality & Motivation: Michael is genuinely the sort of person who who wants to help people and looks on the bright side. His easy-going compassion comes from a gentle life; “It’s easy to be compassionate when you’ve never suffered.” is something that could be leveled at him; but part of why he’s never suffered is he never lets things get him down too much. He might be doing too many things at once, running around as fast as he can to be all he can be, but it’s not caused him to develop a short temper or burn out, yet. He has a vision and is carried forward by it Powers & Tactics: Michael starts almost any interaction with, obviously, an introduction. Since first impressions are important, he makes sure he has a firm handshake and tries to anticipate what the person he’s meeting might want; for kids his age or younger, he’s always got a discount card for Sampson’s stashed on him as a ‘nice to meet you’ gift. For older people, he’s smart enough not to try that unless he knows they have kids or younger relatives. Even when he’s heroing, he keeps to the same ideas; speak from the diaphragm, keep your head up straight, look people in the eye. When he has to fight, he goes for things he learned on the sports field first; tackles, shoulder checks, and some light boxing. He always gives people a chance to find a peaceful resolution first, and never swings unless someone's already swung Power Descriptions: Michael without Overheating doesn’t overtly express his powers; he looks to be a ‘generic’ superhero who just has a lot of biological strength, maybe a low level mutant or the like. When he has to Overheat is when he starts to show signs of being a little different. His eyes shift in color, and he almost seems to glow, like his cells are lighting up, leaving a trail behind him like a streak of sunlight. There’s a low level humming sound to his actions as he moves, almost like his entire body is vibrating. This also ties into his weakness to strong vibrations or those that find the right ‘resonance frequency’ for him. Complications: Extra-Extracurricular: Michael is the kind of person who will try anything once and is always willing to volunteer for something new, so he can, at times, be pulled in many different directions by conflicting appointments. This also affects his classes and studies; his attempts to maintain a high GPA can conflict with his extracurricular activities, both normal and super heroic. A Friend Indeed: Michael always wants to be helpful to others and be the ear to listen to their problems or their shoulder to cry on, so if someone asks him for a favor he almost always will do it, as long as it’s not overtly criminal. He generally doesn’t expect anything back for these favors. 1-800-Call-Sam: Sam is Michael’s best friend, and even when it may not be the best idea, he’d drop anything to help her. Sam’s issues with adjusting to a suddenly different life and brand new world make him even more intent to be there when she needs his help, and when she gets in trouble he’s almost always the first person she calls Earnest Weirdo: His iron-clad goals and focus on plotting out his entire life can make Michael seem weird or strange to people, or even make him seem fake or slimy. These aren’t true, but it can create a difficult first impression. Sampson’s Employee of the Month: Because he is one of only two people who were exposed to the Malanka Root formula that gave him his powers, Michael is still vital to Sampson’s Sodas research. They function as an unofficial sponsor of him, but in return he has duties to them, which still include his part-time job. Burnt-Out: Michael’s ‘Overheating’ Powerset can only be maintained for an hour a day safely, and any more than that risks hurting him or deactivating his powers entirely for a day or even longer; while he may eventually overcome these weaknesses, for now he tries to keep a very strict limit on how long he Overheats.

Poncho Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 A future villain I'm working on.

Poncho Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) A simple Incarnate God build based on Ghost Rider more than Thor. She loses 3 effective PL and all her Impervious when the Scales aren’t on her, putting her down to PL7 and just generally making her more vulnerable, along with removing what I think her major power is; the various powerful Super-Senses that she has. She’s extremely reliant on the device for basically anything besides just punching hard. That will probably be less the case as the character gets more PP. Her Penance Stare equivalent is a 13 Power Blast that targets Will instead of Toughness. It’s arrayed to a variety of stat boosts that actually help her hit her caps; my logic is that it’s channeling all her divine might into the attack, which leaves her vulnerable if the target manages to endure or evade it. She’s currently lost her ‘Chariot’ (Motorcycle) and ‘Sword’ (Probably actually a sword?), part of having to depower to come to Earth. They might come back later when she gets more PP. Complications are around being poor starving artist, being forced to transform when having no desire to, the fact the human individual isn't quite as black and white as the Goddess, etc. The Normal identity is basically taken directly from the sample build but swapped around to be a musician instead of a scientist.

Poncho Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Teenage Electrical Manipulator "I'll put a shock to your system!" I've been watching Static Shock recently. An excellent cartoon as any real fan of either animation or superheroes probably knows, Dwayne McDuffie really knocked it out of the park with the show, probably one of my favorite he did, but What's New, Scooby-Doo, Ben 10, and Justice League; Crisis on Two Earths are also incredible. So here's a build based on Season 1 Virgil Hawkins, a PL7, 105PP electricity controller. He doesn't have Richie to back him up; Richie's sort of been more of a hindrance then a help to him at this point, but given enough time, you could buy your own Richie as a sidekick. The character has a high intelligence but not a lot to go with it; no Eidetic Memory or Inventor that a lot of the higher up brains have- remember that Virgil was smart enough to be accepted to a school for gifted kids in Season 1!-. But those are great things to use some of his Hero Points on for momentary benefits; he already has some Luck, and there's plenty of complications he can have; still being a student, an overbearing dad who just wants the best for him, his best friend's racist pops, his sister's supervillain boyfriend. You could put his Vulnerability to Water either in his power-set to get a few more PP and have some things standard, or you can keep it a complication for those tough fights at the Water Park or when the sprinklers come on. Like any good after-school show, his Beginner's Luck feat lets him get a complication from losing the first encounter, then spend that hero point on a skill that helps him win the fight in round 2; probably something that was covered in class that week! His Electrical control array doesn't give him a Strike, because Static doesn't really throw punches, but he does have his Taser Noogie. His bolts are accurate and precise, and can be thrown from weird directions, while his Move Object represents throwing metal objects at people; while Move Object 9 seems a bit low, Effective Strength 45 means he can lift up and throw cars, which is actually probably more than Virgil himself can really do in Season 1; his maximum load is an entire Subway car! He can 'grapple' people by pinning people under the stuff and keeping it there, or just throw heavy things at them, but he's still precise enough to pop the screws out of an air vent. He's got Fast Feint, Taunt, and Move-By Action, along with good Bluff, so use that Move Action Bluff Demoralize to get an enemy Shaken before laying into them. He has a lot of versatility to hit Fortitude and Reflex, and AOE to sweep some goons, which makes him great at getting a ton of debuffs on someone for helping others or just getting their own benefits. His actual Flight Speed looks low, but 50MPH is pretty good for city travel when you don't have to worry about traffic, but I'm imagining he's still using trashcan lids instead of a customized board. When you want to kick up his Flight a little, you could add an easy to lose device to boost his Flight up; a 3pp Investment could get up to 5 more ranks of Flight, which would make him extremely fast, especially for a city focused character. One thing Virgil does fairly often in Season 1 is use his electrical powers to interface with close range machines; he can play CDs by electrically charging them or read data off of computers. Datalink can reach exceptionally long distances if you put the full array's points into it, so I've just put it into one of his powers that didn't need the full PP to have it's effects represented.

Poncho Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 (edited) Golden Star 250pp Build Something I've been working on for awhile is where exactly Michael 'ends up', so to speak. His Hourman references fit for a kid, but the idea was always that he'd grow out of that most of the time. He has an internal 'battery', but by the time he's an adult he'd have enough stored that running out of juice is purely a rare complication, not a constant blade hanging over his head like it is now. The thing I wanted to use to differentiate him from other paragons is two fold; his Skills, and his support feats. He has a lot of skill points focused on being a politician. They aren't really high enough to be worth anything on rolls and they're sort of in less important knowledge skills, but they fit what I want him to be; he's a Politician, and he's good at it, especially in face to face interactions, and has enough knowledge to keep up with his job. While a lot of Paragons have Interpose and Leadership, Michael also has 5 ranks of Inspire. He's not able to do the real Team Leader stuff; no Master Plan, no Luck Control, etc. But he can give the inspiring comments that set everyone up for a really big turn. He's a little slow, but him going later isn't that bad; Paragons are always prone to being the kind of people who only swing second. He, in theory, has a lot of ability to power stunt off his boosted Paragon Array; he controls cells, including the energy in them, so there's a lot of space in my mind for things like Heal, Dazzle, Nauseate, and Paralyze, or internal effects like Insubstantial or Regeneration. He can also probably access a Disintegration effect- though only targeting things that have cells, so living creatures only, making it instead a Linked Drain Toughness + Damage effect-, but I think the general rule with Michael is that he prefers to play 'Fair' when he can. I wanted to tie his weaknesses into the greater Freedom City/World Cosmology, and I figure if he's powered by motion; the movement of cells, the energy created in them, etc. Then a world of total stillness and Zero would be extremely draining on him; the idea that the Zero Zone is completely without 'energy', and thus drains him. It also lets people have things carrying that radiation, or maybe foes attuned to dimensional effects hit that weakness and power him down. He probably has a really long list of complications, appropriate for a Superman-Expy whose also a politician and attempts to be a team leader. From responsibilities to his constituency as a regular person, to super-teams as a person, to his own personal ideals, the chance he can still run out of power if he's pushed too much without a chance to rest, and probably a bit of arrogance; It's hard to imagine a person like this who isn't at least very self-assured at their own ability to handle things, and could easily get into trouble. I'm still moving around some of those last few points; deciding if I want to lower his saves in exchange for some other stuff, things like that. One thing is that his Super-Strength sort of breaks the chart; the books max out at 150, and he's 15 points above that, so I might mess around a bit and figure out if I can lower it a little; I want him to at least hit the cap, but maybe not completely blow past it.

Poncho Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) A warning before you read this; This character is extremely complicated due to the way his powers work. He may actually be too complicated for the site to allow, but as far as I can tell, all his numbers are 'right'. It's the best way I could think to make Ben 10 in M&M without paying out the nose for a giant Variable array, which isn't really how Ben 10 operates to begin with; he has specific forms that he relies on, and only uses the others every now and then; when he is Heatblast, he's always the same Heatblast. The best I can say is that his actual Caps do not change when the Variable power shifts; he's always -3/+3 in Powerhouse, +0/-0 in Sensor and Blaster, and +2/-2 in Speed.

This includes the Alternate Form they'd be linked to; so it's what the entire transformation looks like. In my idea, several of these add new complications to the character; because they'd have drawbacks and it helps prevent the character from relying on one form over all the others- triggering a complication as to why a reliable form is suddenly unreliable and using that HP to reveal a new, more appropriate form is a cool idea to me-. They can't be actively Linked because of an issue with the blaster form; since you can't put an Array inside an Array, obviously, so when the Blaster Form wants to do something besides throw a regular Fireball, it has to work with the Variable benefit. In addition, some aliens have 'multiple' variable references to represent their somewhat broader capabilities. I think I'm doing this right. Maybe I'm not.

Poncho Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 (edited) STARBRIGHT TEMPLATE After the events of Dragon's Hoard, the Umbra Star- the concentrated magic of the Plane of Asterim, a world teetering on the edge of turning into a Netherworld or evil magic, which empowers the Starbright/Starblights- was shattered, then put back together by Rot. Filled with negative energy from the actions of the Starblights, FX, and Eclipse, the Gem was cracked and damaged; on the verge of transforming into a blackened, dark version of itself that would have changed Asterim into a Netherworld. In order to purge the corruption that existed within it by finding those with positive energy, it began empowering teens across Freedom City with the power of the Constellations. As the newly chosen heroes successfully empower their constellation with positive, loving emotions and success at defeating challenges, they slowly purify the original gem, preparing it for the eventual reunification and a possible end to Sola's reign over Asterim. For now, the Gem is watched over by the Freedom League and Veronica Danger, as it slowly heals on it's own. A Starbright has the following template. Each individual has a unique power in their Array, listed as 'Constellation Power' that is based on their Constellation's own power; for instance, Libra's power involves throwing Fireballs, Cygnus can create a Visual Dazzle using feathers, Scorpio links a poison effect to her attack, etc. For individuals who already have a Power Array, the Starblight array merges with their own, adding it's ranks to the character's Array and adding the Magic descriptor; similar to how FX and Eclipse used it. It's also possible to just invest more PP into the Array in general. Good Complications include being hunted by Sola's agents, detailed in her writeup in Rogue's Gallery of M&M 3E, the emotions of the Constellation getting to their head- especially the Southern Constellations, which absorbed the brunt of the evil energy-, and, of course, having to hide their secret identity from others. Template as listed, though obviously you'd need to flesh it out some and give it some cool names.
