Brown Dynamite Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Character Name: Major FluxPower Level: 12 (180/180)Effective Power Level: 8Trade-Offs: +4 Atk/-4 Damage, +2 Defense/-2 Toughness In Brief: Time Displaced Portal UserAlternate Identity: Hal Davis Jr.Identity: PublicBirthplace: Dallas, TexasOccupation: PilotAffiliations: Family: Hal Davis Sr. (Father), Caroline Davis (Mother), Alan Davis (Brother), Buddy Davis(Great-Nephew), Marat Hassan (Great Grand Nephew) Sally Garner (Sister), Dina Hassan (Great Niece), Hal Davis III (Great Grand Nephew)Description:Age: 28 DoB: March 12th, 1912Gender: MaleEthnicity: BlackHeight: 5'7"Weight: 140 lbsEyes: BlackHair: Black History: Earning a fierce reputation as a member of the United States Armed Forces very own Tuskegee Airmen, Hal Davis was a pilot of phenomenal accord. If he were born with a different skin color his accolades would have earned more commendations. Regardless, during a turbulent time his service as a pilot was heavily acknowledged quickly rising to the rank of first lieutenant, a temporary rank due to combat need. His wartime efforts actually went so far as to earn him the rank of Major when he enlisted in the still newly formed, and newly segregated Air Force. It did come with a provision, the government didn't want him as an active pilot. They wanted him as a teacher. A position he enjoyed for all of five minutes. Hal was not a teacher, he was a flyer. So when he got the offer to fly again, this time to the stars, Major Davis quickly jumped at the chance. Even if the mission was to be undisclosed it was the opportunity to be the first African American in space. It's essentially a public secret that in 1947, a Grue scout ship landed in Roswell, New Mexico. Some of the crew was captured, and some of course went on to blend with society. The reports never mention the fact that there was Lor ship wreckage as well. After all, someone had to shoot the scout ship down in the first place. The operation was to be largely kept secret from the public. Especially when something went awry with the ship's warp drive. Causing an explosion that would actually end up propelling the vehicle through a wormhole. The unstable environment in the wormhole coupled with an odd mixture of Lor and Grue healing agents on board actually caused the major's genetic structure to meld with the wormhole itself. When he awoke, he was in a bed on a recovery hospital having been in a coma for a month. Having crashed landed the ship in the middle of a corn field. Or at least that was the official story. They couldn't explain why he had landed unharmed a mile from the crash site. At least not yet. Hal's nearest living relative Marat Hassan (his sisters' grandson) had spend the month watching over Hal. And gladly took him with him when the hospital was willing to release the time traveller. Once free from the inevitable public scrutiny that came from the curious journalist. Marat revealed he was leading a project to rebuild the ship from the crashed remains and wanted Hal there to explain the technology. Which Hal agreed expecting it to be a way back home. Unfortunately the ship was barely holding it together in the first place and even after rebuilding it a second time the wormhole travel had made its hodgepodge of Grue and Lor technology even less reliable. Not to mention the residual cosmic energies from the wormhole travel. Perhaps if the team rebuilding the ship was larger than a three man operation they might have caught that last bit. As it were no one expected what was to follow. After being brought in on the "completed" project the moment Hal touched the ship it reacted. But not positively. Immediately it exploded. Joe, the youngest member of the engineering trio was killed by the debris. Hal, Malachai, and Marat survived when Hal accidentally created a wormhole to protect the three from harm much to their surprise. Malachai (Joe's Father), and Marat were changed in the explosion much like Hal. The combination of Grue dna, Lor dna, and Cosmic energy affected both men different. Malachai gained control over time itself. Whereas Marat seemed to gain animal like powers. Malachai blamed Hal and Marat for his son's death swearing vengeance the scientist left with his son's body. Seeing as they seemed to have superpowers (and an enemy to boot), Marat suggested they become heroes much to Hal's chagrin who still just wanted to get home. Seeing as that didn't seem to be an option, Hal agreed. If only to make up for the life that he felt responsible for.Personality & Motivation: Discovered he was gay when it wasn't all that sociably acceptable. In fact, his enlistment into the Army was knowing full well being found out would lead to a dishonorable discharge. And that's only what the government would do to him, the residents of his home would be far less kind. He actually left on his mission before the first real strides in LBGT rights in the United States. Leaving a gap in fully understanding what his sexuality actually meant. Despite all this, Hal is proud of his service. A soldier to the end, he is always willing to fight the good fight. Power Description: Hal's powers manifests as a translucent circular ripple in the air (or wherever he chooses to form the wormholes). Powers & Tactics: Major Flux is able to create wormholes to cross great distances and harm. The size of the wormholes and relative distance to the exit is directly proportional to how quickly Major Flux is able to form them. Using this to his advantage Major Flux excels at creating micro wormholes coupled with good old fashioned boxing. Able to strike foes in rapid succession from any angle within the blink of an eye Major Flux's unconventional method of utilizing a conventional means to harm makes him trouble to contend with. Major Flux can see what he describes as echoes from time/space manipulation. Furthermore, he can create micro wormholes to spy on the surrounding area. Though these wormholes can be seen through by those on the exit if they spot them. The spatial nature of his powers allows Major Flux to even harm intangible entities by distorting his portals ever so slightly. Complications:Fish Out of Water: Major Flux is a man of the 40s through and through. While he may have been progressive for his time (as is always the way) the fact remains, that he is out of place.Guilt: Major Flux blames himself for the accident that killed Joe. Bringing it up is a surefire way to unnerve him.Nazis, why'd it have to be Nazis?!: He fought Nazis during WWII. A time period that it's a bit closer to him than the rest of society. But the Nuremberg trials were supposed to have made clear that there were to be no more nazis. But SHADOW survives and they might just want to carve another famous name on their mantle.Time Paradox: His presence may cause trouble around the presence of time controllers. Or whilst time travelling due to the nature of his spatial rift causing powers. For some reason this also extends to any attempts to any powers that would help him get back home (which would technically be an alternate timeline). Somehow arriving in his proper dimension slingshots him back to Earth Prime for unknown reasons.

Brown Dynamite Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Character Name: BeastmasterPower Level: 8 (145/145) SidekickTrade-Offs: NoneIn Brief: Engineer turned Animal MimicAlternate Identity: Marat HassanIdentity: PublicBirthplace: Mobile, AlabamaOccupation: EngineerAffiliations: Family: Hal Davis Sr. (Great Grandfather), Caroline Davis (Great Grandmother), Alan Davis (Granduncle), Buddy Davis(Uncle), Hal Davis Jr. (Great Grand Uncle) Sally Garner (Grandmother), Dina Hassan (Mother), Hal Davis III (Cousin)Description:Age: 26 DoB: April 19thGender: MaleEthnicity: BlackHeight: 5'11"Weight: 183 lbsEyes: BlackHair: Black History: Coming from a big Air Force family it was no question that Marat was to join the Air Force. If only the doctor would have agreed to sign the waiver. But, unfortunately, that was never to be the case. Marat was a sickly boy growing up. With Asthma that followed him to his adult years. With his dreams of following in his family's expectations dashed. He sought other avenues to gain a perceived lack of familial approval that was really nothing more than a lack of confidence. Marat became an Aerospace Engineer after years of study. Joining a small father and son think tank based out of Georgia, the trio became moderately successful at their job. Assisting a few small businessed in need of cheap consultation, but never establishing a steady gig. At least until the Government gave him a call. Informing him that they found a relative that had been missing for over 50 years and a strange (but badly damaged) alien craft. It took a lot of convincing an deal brokering to get the contract to rebuild the spaceshift. But Marat was highly motivated. So motivated that he spent every night looking after his comatose "uncle" in the hospital. When his "uncle" awoke, Marat gladly took him in when the hospital was willing to release the time traveller. Making it his mission to help the man acclimate. Once free from the inevitable public scrutiny that came from the curious journalist. Marat revealed he was leading a project to rebuild the ship from the crashed remains and wanted Hal there to explain the technology. Which Hal agreed expecting it to be a way back home. Unfortunately the ship was barely holding it together in the first place and even after rebuilding it a second time the wormhole travel had made its hodgepodge of Grue and Lor technology even less reliable. Not to mention the residual cosmic energies from the wormhole travel. Perhaps if the team rebuilding the ship was larger than a three man operation they might have caught that last bit. As it were no one expected what was to follow. After being brought in on the "completed" project the moment Hal touched the ship it reacted. But not positively. Immediately it exploded. Joe, the youngest member of the engineering trio was killed by the debris. Hal, Malachai, and Marat survived when Hal accidentally created a wormhole to protect the three from harm much to their surprise. Malachai (Joe's Father), and Marat were changed in the explosion much like Hal. The combination of Grue dna, Lor dna, and Cosmic energy affected Marat oddly. He gained an attunement to the animal world itself. Allowing him to channel this connection to take on the traits of animals. He compared the concept to the famed Meta-Grue, but had no actual working knowledge of the alien being to know if there was any similarities to the Grue's. Malachai blamed Hal and Marat for his son's death swearing vengeance the scientist left with his son's body. Seeing as they seemed to have superpowers (and an enemy to boot), Marat suggested they become heroes much to Hal's chagrin who still just wanted to get home. Seeing as that didn't seem to be an option, Hal agreed. If only to make up for the life that he felt responsible for.Personality & Motivation: Marat was a skinny asthma ridden boy who became a skinny asthma ridden adult. While generally as healthy as any other person. It was safe to say he was an unthreatening person. After his empowering Marat's physique is not the only thing to change. The man has become bolder. Almost as if making up for lost time. Even his costume choice reflects his new bolder outlook. Whereas Hal had a flashy starry traditional spandex looking costume. Marat's choice of wear is pretty bargain bin as far as superhero wear goes. The fur neckwear he wears around his neck is faux, showing a newer appreciation for animal life. The lack of a shirt is a whole lot less faux anything. Marat's tattoos despite the glowing when his powers are active are actually just ink. It was Marat who came up with the idea of becoming heroes. But, it was not out of any perceived guilt to his friends death. After years of being denied his opportunity to fly. Now was his time to shine. Helping people a side bonus to having fun. His newfound easy going bold attitude puts him as odd with his more rigid uncle. Despite his motivation, Marat would never seek out attention over making sure someone was safe. Seeing his powers as means to help the helpless as it were. Power Description: Whenever Beastmaster mimics an animal a glowing blue silhouette appearing much like the animal appears around his body. At the same time his tribal tattoos glow. Powers & Tactics: The Beastmaster can speak to and understand all animals. Prior to his change, Marat was heavily reliant on his albuterol inhaler for treating his asthma. Afterwards he has become a physical specimen. Asthma is no loner a concern and with his constitution most normal diseases. The Beastmaster has a powerful connection to all animal life on earth. Able to take upon the chosen traits of any animal he so desires, but not the appearance. Amidetly the scientist in him finds the unknown in his powers maddening. His nails have also become as sharp as claws allowing him to swipe at foes like a wild beast. Marat can mesmerize animals who engage in eye contact with him. As long as the creature can actually see his eyes he can control it. Complications:Feral Instincts: Channeling the traits of an animal has the unfortunate effect of potentially allowing Marat's mind to be taken over by the more primal mind of the creature in question.One of Us: The nature of the Beastmaster powers potentially allow him to fall under the thrall of a Grue hive mind or technology used to create a similar effect. This could even turn the Beastmaster against Major Flux Abilities: 0 + 0 + 0 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 18PP Strength: 10/26 (+0/+8) Dexterity: 10/26 (+0/+8) Constitution: 10/26 (+0/+8) Intelligence: 16 (+3) Wisdom: 14 (+2) Charisma: 18 (+4)Combat: 8 + 8 = 16PP Initiative: +8 Attack: +4 Base, +8 Melee Grapple: +16 Defense: +8 (+4 Base, + 4 Dodge Bonus), +2 Flat-Footed Knockback: -4Saving Throws: 0 + 0 + 0 = 0PP Toughness: +8 (+8 Con) Fortitude: +8 (+8 Con) Reflex: +8 (+8 Dex) Will: +2 (+2 Wis)Skills: 40R = 10PP Computers 6 (+9) Craft (Mechanical) 12 (+15) Disable Device 2 (+5) Investigate 2 (+5) Knowledge (Life Sciences) 4 (+7) Knowledge (Physical Sciences) 12 (+15) Knowledge (Technology) 2 (+5) Feats: 1PP Move by ActionPowers: 8 + 18 + 4 + 16 + 16 + 2 +10 + 10 + 16 = 100PP Animal Control 8 ( Flaw: Sense-Dependent ) [8PP] Animal Mimicry 2 [18PP] Sample ConfigurationsBig Cat: Leaping 4 (x25) [4], Speed 3 (50 MPH) [3], Super-Senses 3 (Acute Tracking Olfactory, Low-Light Vision)[3]Canine: Burrowing 1 (1 MPH) [1], Leaping 2 (x5) [2], Speed 2 (25 MPH) [2], Super-Senses 5 (Acute Tracking [2] Olfactory, Low-Light Vision, Ultra-Hearing)[5]Chameleon: Concealment 2 (Normal Vision [blending] )[2], Super-Movement 1 ( Wall-Crawling 2 )[4], Super-Senses 2 (Ultravision, Radius [Vision]) [2]Dolphin: Swimming 3 (10 MPH, Environmental Adaptation [Aquatic]) [4], Super-Senses 4 ( Accurate Ultrasonic Hearing, Low-Light Vision) [4]Hawk: Flight 2 (25 MPH) [4], Super-Senses 4 Accurate Hearing, Extended Vision, Low-Light Vision) [4] Comprehend 2 ( Animals [speak to and Understand] ) [4PP] Enhanced Constitution 16 [16PP]Enhanced Dexterity 16 [16PP] Enhanced Feat 2 ( Penetrating 2 on Unarmed ) [2PP] Enhanced Feat 10 ( Animal Empathy, Attack Focus [Melee] 4, Dodge Focus 4, Uncanny Dodge [Auditory] ) [10PP] Enhanced Skill 10 ( Acrobatic 7 [+15], Climb 7 [+15], Handle Animal 11 [+15], Survival 13 [+15], Swim 2 [+10] ) [10PP] Enhanced Strength 16 [16PP] [table]DC BlockATTACKRANGESAVEEFFECTUnarmedTouchDC23 Toughness (Staged)Damage (Physical)Animal ControlPerceptionDC18 Will Mind Control[/table] Edited February 8, 2015 by HG Morrison Link to comment
