Re: The New Nook Rises! Quantum Art and My Gryphon

Post by Skaramine »

This is a lady who I've been working upon recently. I've been writing the novel about her. I wanted a cross dressing tough chick in the Victorian era, kicking ass and breaking stereotypes.

Once upon a time, in an era when a lady's place was known and limited, even stifling, an adventurous young woman made herself a man of action.
Robin Locke didn't have to change her name to escape the constraints of 1897. All she had to do was don a mustache and become Un-Locked.

This is her in her late twenties, after beginning life on the run as a teenager, and hardening up thanks to cattle drives across the Southwest, and being Shanghai'd on a slow boat to China. She's been across Asia and back, and is about to enter the valley of the Wolf Girl in India.

She's a PL10, and insanely skilled. I based her off of the Ray Gun Hero from the Cosmic Book, and liked the Traveller's Luck. She nearly gets gutted in the first chapter by a bandit with a knife, but the Traveller's Luck explains how a wound which would have filleted another person only is messy, and partially disrobing of her. Maybe I should put some subtle on that Toughness - she shows a lot of scratches and cuts, but in the end, it's only a flesh wound.

Updated her toughness to lower it, giving her more of a Defensive Roll, and added "Soaking Punishment" from the Punisher and punishment thread.

This works a little better.

REQUIN
Hero name: Requin, Project Greyfin
Birth name/Identity: Thomas Bruce Hojiro
Also Known as: Bruce Hojiro (preferred nomme du guerre), Joe Fins, Req (pronounced Wreck), Jabberjaw
Identity: Requin's identity and existence is easily known and learned by the general public, especially if he meets them. His status as an active US Marine Reservist is also public knowledge. Requin's activities in covert operations, however, is not.
Occupation: Professional adventurer, United States Marine
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Height: Prior to Change: 5'10", Currently: 7'2"
Weight: Prior to Change: 190 lbs, Currently: 900 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Prior to Change: Black, often dyed with blonde or red frosting, Currently: None
Group Affiliation: USMC (ret'd), The A-Game (Blackwater-based premeir super-team), Dangerous Operations Group (the DOGs - covert super agency), Salamander's Fire (renounced when it was learned that the leader - Salamander - was not only his father, but the group was illegal)
Known Relatives: General Salamander (aka General Thomas A. Vance) (father), Hamako Hojiro (mother), possible unknown brothers, sisters and cousins.
Base of Operations: The Stadium (A-Game HQ), Blackwater, IL.

Origin:
Bruce Hojiro was the product of a tryst between General Thomas A. Vance and Hamako Hojiro. Hamako raised Bruce in the city of Blackwater, a dimensional nexus city which is in other universes' Chicago. Because of its odd placement, it is an attracting ground for all manner of supernatural beings, which Bruce discovered he was during an ambush in Afghanistan.

When the insurgents hit Bruce's Marine platoon, the young Marine charged to the protection of his fellow soldiers. He felt the bullets strike his back, but didn't feel them penetrate, even as he grew two feet in height, and multiplied his weight by a factor of five. He turned and attacked the Taliban killers, restraining himself as he realized that his strength had grown with his size and strength. Upon the cessation of the battle, Bruce realized that he was changed into a humanoid shark. He didn't know how to turn back, but in his current form, he was able to withstand all manner of weaponry, even an RPG rocket's direct hit, lift enormous weights, and had incredibly accute senses.

Due to his changes, he was drawn to the attention of the man who had sired him, a General Thomas Vance, also known in the US Military Black Operations divisions as General Salamander. Though Bruce wished to continue to assist his fellow Marines in "the Sandbox" the General said his abilities would be put to better use elsewhere. Over the course of several missions, Bruce, now codenamed Requin (a double pun on the French name for a Great White a.k.a. Requiem shark and the combination of what he does - ie: Wreck and win), learned of General Salamander and Salamander's Fire and their illicit activities. Rebelling, Requin turned to one group he could trust - the A-Game. One of its members, Armada, was a fellow Marine, and she believed his stories of what had been done. Together with the rest of the A-Game, the two American warriors brought down the crooked organization, driving General Salamander out of power, but into the shadows to continue his efforts. In the last battle, Requin learned that Vance had impregnated Hamako Hojiro because she had the blood of weresharks in her, and one of his abilities was to breed true with all kin of supernaturals.

Vance displayed multiple magical abilities himself, but these could have been mystic talismans as he was also quite capable with conventional military weapons - including having the strength to utilize 200-lb weapons systems such as heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers as rifles.

The AFL 4:

During his time with Salamander's Fire, Requin was entered into a transdimensional fighting tournament known as Angelcrusher's Fighting League - specifically to capture a creature Vance viewed as one of the most powerful forces in the multiverse, the Indescribable Whatchamacallit. To push Requin along into the contest, he told Bruce that the capture of the Whatchamacallit would allow Vance to help Bruce learn to return to human form. Feeling his monstrous nature would ever make him an outcast, Requin agreed, facing deep angst and trauma over the decision until he encountered Hazel Warren, otherwise known as the Newtropolis super-burglar Dandy Jane. As she was from a society where alien creatures were common, she was unphazed by Requin's appearance, and sensed his attraction toward her.

After the tournament, Requin had actually gained enough confidence to rebel against the General, helping out the Whatchamacallit by seeming to attack him in a staged battle that ended up with the two powerful brutes literally carving an escape route before Bruce punched Steven hard enough to propel him hundreds of yards distant and giving the chimeric superbeing room to leap away to safety.

The DOGS:
Requin was immediately inducted into Armada's own covert operations team - the Dangerous Operations Group. A false identity as a superhuman thug called "Joe Fins" - a name Bruce borrowed from Dandy Jane - was developed for undercover work. A second heroic/vigilante identity as Blacktooth was added as well. The DOGs are meant for multiple operations, all of which are, as their name implies, dangerous. This means both high-risk undercover and military-grade direct action against truly deadly threats. Requin has taken the opportunity to set up the fiction that "Joe Fins" is a "mook from anudder freak city, coolin' my heels while the heat dies down." He's been reluctant to draw Dandy Jane into his undercover operations status, despite her inspiration, as he does not want to implicate her in either dimension. Armada also warned him that if he ever commits a violent felony against a law-abiding citizen in Newtropolis, she will personally turn him into sushi and feed him to the rest of the A-Game.

Personality:
Bruce is a wry, good natured young man who realizes he is in a powerful and dangerous body. Most of the time he puts on the affectation of being a fun loving character, literally a cross between two of his favorite fictional creations - the Hanna Barberra character Jabberjaw and the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially off duty. However, as shown during the AFL tournament, he does have a berserker rage within him, something that reacted violently to intense supernatural powers that could be classified as demonic.

He also worries about being too forceful in combat, but his training alongside the A-Game has helped him immensely with fears of crushing a foe with a single blow. The greatest fear he has is of his potential for bloodlust. When he gets the urge to hunt, he heads off into the Blackwater Sea - an inland sea which was created by a powerful catastrophe that turned the Great Lakes into a large ocean, and flooded dozens of cities, including Chicago. There, he hunts and eats tuna to satisfy his hunger and need to kill. Otherwise, Requin as a hero sees lethal force as a final option.

Bruce has a healthy interest in women, and with his fellow single, male heroes, often goes out on the town dancing and drinking (fortunately, it takes literally five times the alcohol necessary to get him inebriated). One woman, however, has caught his attention, a thief from another dimension named Dandy Jane. While the A-Game has occasional dealings with the New Knights - mostly for multiversal events - it allows Requin to travel there, but he's torn between casually seeing someone who's a wanted criminal there and his duties as a hero in Blackwater. However, he really likes the Zoot Suit she had made for him.

To relax, Bruce is a voracious reader, enjoys classic cartoons and Three Stooges movies, and listens to a wide variety of music ranging across the 20th and 21st Centuries.

Powers and Abilities:
Bruce Hojiro was already an accomplished Marine before his change. He is still an Expert with the weapons of the Corps, including sniper rifles and various handguns, though most conventional firearms are too small for his hands. In hand to hand combat, he was, and still is, a world class martial artist.

As a wereshark, Requin possesses phenominal superhuman strength and durability. He can lift nearly 90 tons (and has been known to lift even more under extraordinary effort), his body is as durable as a foot thickness of steel - though bladed weapons do seem able to cause lacerations against him. His musculature is sufficient that he can swim at a speed of 30 miles per hour, withstand depths of 5000 feet, and intense cold.

Having the senses of a shark also makes Requin uncannily sharp. His sense of smell is capable of tracking quarry, even to the point of betraying hiding places and enabling him to react to an ambush just by the scent of foes. He can tell the differences between people quite easily, no matter the disguise, and see in near absolute darkness.

Requin's deadliest weapon, and the one he utilizes the least because of it, is his bite. He's been able to bite a city bus in half or penetrate the hull of a Coast Guard Cutter.

In combat, Requin's primary means of conflict are his prodigious fists, and he is quick to run interference and draw enemy fire.

So I pulled out the Silver Age (I only have an e-copy of it, bought from Drive-Thru RPG) and started making builds.

The first was the Femme Fatale. Because with a Toughness of 11 with defensive roll... why the hell not? :)

I did a lot of finnagling with the standard stats, so you'll see that Deliliah is NOT a gunslinger by any means. Rather, she's a bareknuckle brawler of no small measure. I took the points freed up from lowering her Dex and not having to Ranged Attack and put them into a fighting Array (I still want to call arrays multipowers -_-), to duplicate the dear, departed "Sneak Attack" and "Stunning Attack" because, why not? If you want, you could take that Array, turn it into a device, give it range, and change the Close Combat to Ranged Combat and have yourself a Black Widow.

Yes, I named him Colonel Steve Austin, because who else is that guy in the Silver Age illustration? REALLY?

Yes, he has an extra laser, and he has Jamie's bionic ears as well, AND the bionic undercarriage that it took until the 90's Bionic reunion to mention that Steve and Jaimie both posessed to prevent their bodies from crushing themselves as they flipped over pickup-trucks or smashed slow motion boulders aside.

Could you tell that I was a Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman nerd as a kid? (Venus Probe and Bigfoot were my favorite episodes)

She'll party hard with you. But then she'll also get you hydrated so that you won't suffer a hangover, and call an Uber on her phone so you can get to work alive in the morning. :D

I really got to put down her boyfriend Dragonstar. (Fort 14 versus drinking a liquor store? Yeah, he's her kind of guy.)

This is a "Nightwing" light.

But you know what? I like him. Granted, my version of Dick would be smarter, and far more charismatic, but this is good for a PL10 game, an optimized starting guy.

And yes, I went with Elongation with a Limited Manipulation for his Swingline in other purposes. Why? Because I can, and because Silver/Iron Age Robin was a whiz with the batarang and the swingline.

One of my favorite characters of the next iteration of the Freedom League was Spriggan. He was a Grower guy, and he had more than a couple skills, though, at very low levels. He's also the twin brother, or just brother, of the Wasp expy Sprite, who I'll get next.

Between 2E and 3E, the Growth levels went from +2 Strength and +1 Constitution (bonuses) per level to +1 Strength and +1 Stamina. This gave me the idea to just give Spriggan only as much Growth as necessary to boost his Stamina to equal his "full grown" Constitution bonus. The rest come from just plain old strength from his size. As he has superhuman toughness even as a "shrimp" (+9 Tough), I decided to say that his durability is a natural extension of the drugs which sparked his Growth. He's naturally bulletproof as a six foot or so football jock (and no slouch even with 4 Strength).

Spriggan has only one "full level" of Growth, using 4 points to be a doubling of height/rise in the size scale. Actually, he has five levels of Growth, which makes him fifteen feet tall, and about 3200 pounds. This fits into my favorite era of Hank Pym outside of Yellowjacket: Goliath. Face it, Marvel growers don't seem to have the same kind of unstoppable wow as the game can present them as, as per the Marvel TSR rules. There were times when Goliath punched his way through the bulkheads of the Crimson Cowl's hovership, and he went a half of a comic book slugging it out with the Dragon Man, who tested even the mighty Hercules. So, this "limited" Spriggan is fairly dynamic and capable with his strength and toughness.

Stuck at his normal height (due to tight quarters), Spriggan is still capable. PL6 Offensively (+8 Close Combat, DC 19 Unarmed), which is befitting a skilled normal, but defensively, he's PL 8.5 (+8 Parry/Dodge, +9 Toughness). If Spriggan choses, he can go All Out Attack and get to be PL 8.5 offense, and PL6 Defense appropriately (+13 Close attack, DC 19 Unarmed, +3/+3 Dodge/Parry, +9 Toughness). In an agents Game, he'd be pretty dynamic.

I took a look at his Advantages, and as befitting a football and wrestling jock, he already had some good manipulations of his limits with Defensive Attack and Power Attack (slipping aside defensive tackles, and plowing over enemy linesmen), as well as a plethora of grappling abilities. But being as his strength is at 14 already, and his Unarmed and Close Combat are a mere +6 at giant size, his Power Attack would have him at +1 (DC 34). If any grower could do what Hawkeye tried to do as Goliath to the cylinder of Adamantium in the seminal Avengers #66 (Volume 1), Spriggan definitely could dent the Adamantium.

Seeing as how he's basically unstoppable, but obscenely easy to avoid, I decided that with his experience, Spriggan picked up more appropriate Advantages to go with his massive size: All Out Attack and Accurate Attack. I even have ideas of how these Advantages would be worked for him in combat. The Worlds of Freedom Spriggan only cost 134 points for PL 10. I'd be a good GM and give him 16 more points to play with.

All Out Attack would be Spriggan going arms wide, which makes him a bigger target, but makes him absolutely more likely to hit his nimble opponent. He'd then be at Close Combat +11 (DC 29) (Thor Class, but then, someone like Thorp's Thor would be able to tag Spriggan very easily.)

Accurate Attack would be Spriggan using open-handed slaps rather than more focused, smaller fists. He doesn't hit as hard, (a mere DC 24), but when you're going up against a Spider-Man or other agile foe, you won't have to smack a ninja that hard.

I missed out on giving Spriggan Takedown instead of Power Attack, because if anyone sweeps mooks, it's going to be your team's giant-sized brick.

Another thing about Spriggan is that his tactics and Treatment are related to his sports knowledge. No, he's not going to be a physician or take Captain America's place anytime soon, but Treatment could mean the difference between a comatose and hospitalized team mate and getting that badly whomped Patriot or Scarab back into action a day or two later.

Sprite also gets some upgrades, but this comes more from the fact that I don't see a wasp-sized girl parrying a punch from a martial artist, even if she is full-grown strength, which freed up points, and allowed me to give her a couple more skills, and give her something with a little punch to go with her Dazzle. I made her Bio-Energy Bolts "weaker" while at the same time Multi-Attack just for the sake of more closely matching the Wasp - especially her stunt of zapping a bunch of dudes in quick succession, like she did in Secret Wars.

She makes a good skill monkey science-wise. She won't be challenging Moon Son's technical acumen, but she and he could do some fantastic team efforts.

- I really loved the Freedom League of 2025 or whatever. I loved the Goliath/Wasp expys, and if there was someone I loved even more than them, it was Centuria.

- She comes in 3 points under price here than in 2E. And that's with a full PL13 super powers array which is just one energy blast short of heat vision. And I had fun working on that Super Strength Array, figuring, WHY NOT on no less than three variations of Super-Breath, one basic from the GM's Kit, and two based off of Speedster Tricks or Air Elemental/Weather powers.

- Ah, now I know why she's three points under, even with the extra super-breaths: Power Lifting is so much cheaper.

- How do you guys like my take on some of the other Super Strength stunts like Bracing and Countering Punch?

edit: Looking at my Centuria build, she also fits Centennia quite well too.

Centuria looks to be pretty much exactly Centennia from the webcomics by THE BEHOLDER (caps in original). As a character she was originally created for the City of Heroes game, you can tell by elements of the costume, specifically the cage-like greaves and bracers. She is the most powerful superhero in the world in that story universe. The site has a huge archive of superhero stories, but be warned that a lot of them are decidedly NSFW.

That is exactly the character and placeholder picture I used for the Future Freedom League's Centuria. But I used my own fanart of Centennia to make things less awkward.

- If there's one thing I loved more in the Freedomverse than the Future Freedom League, it was The Atom Family. Oddly, Chase didn't appeal to me that much. I'm a big "action" guy and Telepaths tend not to be showy and spectacular. But then, I did some thinking and looking at Chase some more.

- Chase and the Atoms have been Fantastic-Fouring around the Freedomverse a great deal (since 2003!) meaning that Chase as Telepath is okay for information gathering, and maybe a few mental bolts in action. But - he's also like Charles Xavier, before his injuries in battle against Lucifer left him wheelchair bound. He's active, so he is a good PL6 if it comes to throwing punches and dodging trouble. He's athletic, and he's a skill monster with other things.

- Should the enemy team have their own psychic, Chase is a great defense, but Moon-Son is equally at home pulling a Reed Richards for the group. He has the ability to Mind Control, or even alter someone's mind forever, but those things are morally reprehensible to him. But, he is capable of them, and they are on the original character sheet.

- No art for him.

> Arnold J. Dolenz wanted to be a superhero ever since he was a little kid. With big ears and a goofy grin and a not very athletic build, he knew he could never really be a caped crusader with years of training. When his mutant powers did manifest, he was overjoyed. He had the power of MAGNETISM! He could shift a ton and a half of mass with ease, and hurl chunks of metal with the force of a small rocket launcher. The trouble was, when it came time to fight crime, he found himself suddenly in the middle of the park during a chase. His sole saving grace was that he was able to disarm the criminals of their guns, but they came after him with tree branches and lead pipes (which he learned were not that keenly effected by magnetic fields).

Beaten to within an inch of his life, he was rescued by Morning Knight at the last minute. Daryl saw a kindred spirit in Arnold, and had the superhuman medic Remedy restore Arnold to full health. It was then that Arnold realized that powers weren't everything. Morning Knight was a living example of that. Flaming fists gave Daryl the ability to hang with superhumanly tough opponents, but his skills and training were necessary to keep him from being labelled a murderer.

Arnold began his intensive training, and bolstered his powers with equipment, namely his namesake Mace, a heavy duty metal club, and his chainmail. Now, mentally and physically equipped to handle the worst the world could throw at him, Mace, the Magnetic Ace takes to the night to battle the forces of evil.

> Mace utilizes his iron mace and magnetic powers for multiple effects. He has grown so skilled with the combination of his mace as a blast that hits with the power of a rocket launcher, or in hand to hand combat with even more ferocious force. The newer version of Mace has a natural built-in compass, as well as the ability to detect radio frequencies, magnetic fields and ferrous metals. Mace's iron club is considered a device, but has no actual attack traits inherent in it (though the "feature" is actually simply equipment - iron mace). When used, his magnetism grants it a structural integrity able to hit with power on scale with most paragons and powerhouses. With range, he's not as brutally powerful, but he is still quite skillful, and can use his mace indirectly, able to smack opponents from behind and by surprise. He also, being a comic nerd, emulates some old Thor tricks, like spinning his iron club so fast, he produces a powerful whirlwind, or smash the ground with enough force to hurl people from their feet.

> This version is more directly a "bootstrap flier." When he was the teenaged sidekick of the Morning Knight, he used a pair of C-Clamps that he hung onto as he propelled them (and used one as a throwing weapon). Now, Mace can hover under his own power while he waits for his War Mace to return.

> As Mace is a personal identification character, I've taken two favorite people to give him his character's name. Mickey Dolenz and Chris Barrie's wonderfully nuanced Arnold Judas Rimmer supply this lovable goof who won't quite give up his name. From Mickey, he has the mischevious energy. From Rimmer, he gets the depth of a bit of self-loathing (okay a lot) that he's not quite good enough to be a superhero, needing to have been trained by someone better, and needing tricks to give his natural abilities the versatility he needs to survive as a superhero.

> The new take on Mace comes from focusing on the fact that Dolenz can actually do most of his stunts with any old mass of metal as long as it's smaller than his "Move Object" weight. The War Mace itself provides a focus for his alternate Damage effects (in game terms, it's only a +3 club), as well as allowing him to bootstrap fly and pull off the Groundstrike and the Whirlwind, or just whip something big and heavy as hard and fast as an anti-tank missile. I also stole my own "mook sweeping" Shapable Area Damage from my Silver Sentinel. Because Mace loves pulling a Captain America as well as a Thor.

- Mark Simmons is another Legacy hero, this time, a literal clone of the World War II Legend, HUAC traitor to the Liberty League, and brainjar android Aegis operative. After a while, the original's android form just wasn't cutting it. So, they made a new generation, a clone, raised by agents, and thus trained. Mark didn't like the truth that he was just a clone, but he was raised as human as possible. He's a good tactical brain on the team, as well as a skill monkey. He certainly isn't going to be knocking down any Powerhouses barehandedly - though his Billy Club MIGHT be able to distract and bruise one.

- For PL10, he's expensive by almost a full third, but with all of those advantages and skills, as well as his defenses, he might actually be able to survive a super-fight.
