After a 4-month break from M&M, I was in the mood this morning to build some characters. For the moment, I'm working on translating some favorite D&D characters to M&M, starting with a Five-Man Band themed party.

Complications
Motivation - Doing Good. Xavier is about mercy to the downtrodden—and swift "mercy" to the worst of the downtrodders.
Traumatic Childhood: Xavier is, frankly, afraid of the possibility of becoming a pauper again, after the things he grew up seeing and being subjected to in the big city.
Mostly it was because I just felt like building PL10 builds haha. But I was loosely basing these on Level 12 builds, which are pretty high powered in most D&D worlds.

The next party of D&D-translated PCs is a quartet who live at the edge of an Enchanted Forest and often protect or purge it from evil influences.

Garners Attention. Who doesn't like a fuzzy cat-person?
Motivation - Duty. Leaping Leaf's new(ish)-found religion mandates that he protect the natural world and do good.
