The Character Creation League! (Sign-Up/Discussion)

[The Chou Lives]

Friday going to introduce a ton of items from the Chouverse. As in college now not a lot of time as used too. Also going with o secure characters I have done at other places/times. Not cbr stuff.

[The Chou Lives]

Item

Quantum Manipulator: From Throne of the Stars series, allows for Space Magic. It is like a philosophers stone, just not need souls. It is thorium/plutonium powerd and feeds off half life of thorium so in essence a infinite battery ( as half life energies of thorium are as apparently as old as our universe, billions of years.)

The shape can be glove, pyramid, sphere, cube or even a book. But the buttons on it and manipulator joints are customized by said shape.

What does it do? You get to screw around with energy and matter, but have to define it in science terms, and know said scornful formula language to work the damn thing.

Also a chance can underwhelm or overwhelm results. Can break or over charge/heat/radiation leak. But if disconnect thorium from plutonium, it stops reaction ( just keep away from plutonium as it’s still lethal, Thorium is less potent.)

There you go, sci fi item. Giving Quantum mechanics the finger.

9 items left.

[The Chou Lives]

Forbidden Beast Armor:

From: Aegis Program

What is it: Nano machine based power armor that rapidly aids with weapons and shape shifting the user to better be adapted to battle though it eats at users liquid levels for fuel, meaning got to hydrate.

But it is straight up power armor that allows for shape shifting, some hud function and Blue Beetle style weapon generation.

[Oggy]

Man, there you are. How you been?

Yeah, we're just getting started, so jump on in.

Yeah, sorry, been busy, life has sucked of late. Anyway, just to verify, is this a tournament where we pick our characters/weapons, or do we create them and then have a draft to select the characters we want?

[The Chou Lives]

Just thinking of rest of the items, mainly which magic ones to do.

Also have selected two or so characters for draft. Once again trying to do variety.

That sucks. Hope things get better for you. Still on Discord if you want to talk.

We create the characters and items, then Draft them like in the League.

Twilight
Cost: 2
Powers and Abilities:
• Class 8 strength
• Bullet time reflexes
• Highly skilled martial artist
Titanium alloy cybernetic body with following weapons:
• Laser eye (right eye fires a high intensity laser)
• Shockwave repulsers
• EMP
• Flamethrower (palms of hands)
• Wrist-mounted rocket launcher (left wrist)
• Retractable 1-foot titanium spike (right wrist)

Equipment:
N/A - Twilight is a cybernetic martial artist. He has no need for equipment apart from his cyber weapons and skill.

Personality:
Twilight will willingly seek victory regardless of the the cost, including his own body. He is a highly skilled strategist, tactician and manipulator, turning many of his enemies own skills against them (provided he is given ample prep time). While he has discarded his human body for the cybernetic hybrid he now possesses, he looks upon this as an opportunity to set about to destroy all superhumans, heroes and villains, to be the twilight of superhumans if you will.

Backstory:
Once the superhero protege of the hero Legend, David Harris tried to be a good role model for his often troubled younger brother, until the day his brother inadvertently murdered an elderly man during a botched robbery attempt. With his younger brother on the run, David and his mentor Legend scoured the city to find him, only to arrive too late to see the antihero Paradox throw the troubled young man off a 5 story rooftop. With his brother dead, David blamed Paradox for the murder, Legend for being unable to stop the crime, and himself for being unable to save his brother. Driven by despair over what he had witnessed and unable to come to grips with it, he sought out the industrial billionaire and criminal genius Anthony Marcus for one reason...revenge. Sacrificing nearly his entire body to do so, Twilight was born, and while not among the most powerful villains in the world, he is among the most dangerous, as he is a clear trap master and schemer.

I've been distracted lately, waiting for some down time to focus on this. Hopefully soon.

[The MunchKING]

From Mutants and Masterminds:

Taran Turner or The Chameleon Kid
Cost: Tier 2
Powers and Abilities:
Feats:
Evasion x2
Grappling Finesse
Hide In Plain Sight
Jack of All Trades
Improved Trip
Improvised Tools
Sneak Attack

Mutant Powers:

Heroic Invisibility: Concealment 4 (All Visual Senses)
Effect: Sensory Action: Free Range: Personal
Duration: Sustained Cost: 2 points Per Rank (8)

He has the power to turn invisible to all the visual senses, including all the various kinds of Super-vision. This can be turned on or off at will, and stays up for as long as he is conscious.

You didn’t know we were twins?: Duplication 6 (Heroic, Increased Duration)
Effect: Alteration Action: Standard Range: Personal
Duration: Constant Cost: 4 per Rank (28)
Feats: Progression 5 (50 Duplicates)
Minor Drawback (Increased Independence) -1

He has the power to create exact duplicates of himself. He can also reabsorb them and get back their memories. He CAN make as many as 50 duplicates without extreme effort, but usually keeps it to a more reasonable number. This is both so he can have reserves if he needs them, and because the longer a duplicate remains out, the more it's own personality diverges from the original's. This can lead to a less than total integration of the personality when reabsorbing that duplicate.

Wolverine’s got nothing on me: Regeneration 52 (succeeds in a recovery check every round even for Death and ability Damage)
Effect: Alteration Action: Reaction Range: Personal
Duration: Permanent Cost: 1 Per Rank (52)

Every round (6 seconds) he heals from whatever his worst injuries are, upto and including, DEATH! This includes magic or superpowers that would drain his ability scores, but does NOT apply to missing limbs or "incurable" damage.

Equipment: Laptop, Cellphone, Flashlight, Camo Clothes, Multitool

Personality: A devious prankster who likes using his amazing skills and powers for mischief. He can sometimes come off as a jerk, but he has a heart of gold.

Backstory: Taran was an orphan who turned to street crime and petty theft to survive on the mean streets of the big city. Being a mutant with invisibility powers made this much easier, but it still wasn't good. This went on until one day he unwittingly pickpocketed the civilian identity of a superhero with powerful non-vision based super-senses. Fortunately for Taran the superhero was sympathetic to his story, and in exchange for (Mostly) giving up his life of crime and being a good guy, the superhero got Taran on a team of kid superheroes with their own base that could provide Taran the food, shelter, etc. he needed. Now Taran fights and uses his thieving skills for the good of the team and society. He claims his duplicates are his "twins" or "triplets" to avoid letting people know he's a clone-maker.

MIMICAT

Cost: 3

Powers and Abilities: Has all the powers of the other Fantastic Felines, now boosted to full power:
Ice-Cat: Cryokinetic beams that freeze things on contact, can create ice structures.
Strong Cat: Class 50 strength and durability.
Laser Cat: Class 50 Laser-blasts and force field generation.
Spider-Cat: Superhuman agility, balance, reflexes, and dexterity. Can stick to walls and ceilings. Creates webbing, similar to movie Spider-Man (Raimi trilogy), and has learned to make "webbing constructs".
Natural Cat-Person Abilities: low-light vision, enhanced hearing, enhanced smell, natural claw and fang weapons.

Personality: Mimicat is still somewhat quiet and reserved, shy in a social setting, but focused on the battlefield. He is reluctant to kill once he breaks the Company's control.

Backstory: The Fantastic Felines were a Fantastic Four parody I created as a kid. Later, I reworked the cats into being part of my Power Universe superhero setting, giving them different powers, which were still rip-offs of existing Marvel characters. When I revived this group to use in CCT's, I retroactively added Mimicat as a Super Skrull analogue. His story is that he was created by the Company to eliminate the Fantastic Felines for their betrayal.

Initially, he was easily able to best the Cats individually, since while he couldn’t match any single Cat in power, his variety of abilities allowed him to overwhelm them. However, once the Cats were able to take a second shot at him, their teamwork quickly proved more than a match for Mimicat.

However, as with nearly all their creations, Mimicat ended up breaking the Company’s control. Unlike the other Cats, he hadn’t really had the chance to develop a personality or experiences, leaving him a near-child once the control was broken. He had no real grudge against them, having simply operated under his orders, but acknowledged that the Cats didn’t seem like bad people.

The FF opted to take him in as a fifth member and slowly help him adjust to his freedom and normal living. Grateful to his new family, Mimicat became a dedicated teammate. Since he had their combined powers, albeit in diminished capacity, he proved to be an excellent support unit for the team.

Super Powers:

Super Hero Electrical Form: Alternate Form 17 Ranks (Flaws: Action -2) (51 Points)
Effect: Alteration
Range: Personal
Action: Standard
Duration: Continuous
This Power grants him access to his superhero form! By using a bit of his electricity from his other Electrical powers he transforms his body into pure electricity!! In this for he has a yellow energy body with a stylized orange costume that appears to be part of the energy. It has his emblem, a circle with a set of crossing lightning bolts in it, on his chest. His electrical form grants him the following powers based on an 85 point build.

Flight: 6 Ranks (Duration Advantage) (18 Electrical Form Points)
Effect: Movement
Action: Move
Range: Personal
Duration: Continuous
As he is pure energy, moving in any direction is as easy as walking would be for him, however he cannot control his speed well over 500MPH, so he almost never goes that fast.

Insubstantial: 3 Ranks (Duration Advantage) (18 Electrical Form Points)
Effect: Alteration
Action: Free
Range: Personal
Duration: Continuous
Becoming a being of pure electricity, almost anything not specifically deigned to stop extremely large amounts of electricity goes right through him. Only non-electrical energy attacks can interact with him in this form.

Immunity: 11 Ranks (11 Electrical Form Points) (9 Ranks: Life Support, 2 Ranks: Critical Hits)
Effect: Defense
Action: Reaction
Range: Personal
Duration: Permanent
Seeing as he’s no longer a biological being, little things that bother biologicals, like “No Air” or “Poison” don’t really stop electricity. Also as he no longer has distinct organs, there’s nowhere especially vulnerable on his body. He cannot suffer critical hits.

Strike: 10 Ranks (Aura, Duration Advantage)(30 Electrical Form Points)
Effect: Attack
Action: Standard
Range: Aura
Duration: Instant
Saving Throw: Toughness
While he can turn his power output down to avoid damaging people if he wants, he can also turn the power up so anyone touching him will receive a forceful shock of electricity that could stun them hard.

Teleport: 10 Ranks (Medium (Phone Lines/Power Cables), Long Range Flaws)(Change direction, Change Velocity, Easy Feats) (8 Electrical Form Points)
Effect: Movement
Action: Full Round
Range: Personal
Duration: Instant
He has traveled along power cables before as a means to quickly get from Point A to Point B in a minimal amount of time. It works best if he goes less than 20 Miles in a single jaunt.

Electro-kinesis! : Electrical Control 10 Ranks: (Precise, Alternate Power Feats)(22 Points)
Effect: Attack
Action: Standard
Range: Ranged
Duration: Instant
By Using his control over electricity, he can send out shocking bolts of electricity (NOT Lightning, as it has nothing to do with weather), to incapacitate his foes. He has very Precise control over this power, and has spent some time practicing his accuracy with it.

Alternate Power: Datalink: 18 Ranks (Machine Control, Precise Feats)
Effect: Sensory
Action: Free
Range: Extended
Duration: Sustained
Alternately by using his power in a more refined, subtle and careful manner, he can interact with any computer he wants. He also has the ability to control non-sentient machines as if he had a remote control. For example he could remotely drive a car, by controlling it’s on board mechanics.

You can’t Shock the Lightning: Absorption (Energy, Boost Electrical Control) 10 Ranks (Power Magnet Advantage) (Limited (Electricity only) Flaw) (Alternate Power Feat (Same one only Healing Version)) (31 Points)
Effect: Trait/Defense
Action: Reaction
Range: Personal /1,000 feet
Duration: Continuous
With his control over the force, electricity cannot harm our hero. As a reaction, any electrical attacks coming at him he can absorb and use to power his electrical powers. Alternately as he has a body of energy he uses, he can absorb the power of the electricity to heal himself from injuries.
If he’s desperate for power he can shoot his electrical control out to a range of 1000 feet and absorb power sources from a range to sate his needs.


Equipment: Smart Phone
Personality: A happy go lucky, Idealistic (one might even say Naïve) guy who believes in good triumphing over evil, and he's going to make a difference as a mighty super-hero.
Backstory: Tommy was an ordinary kid, until a bizarre science experiment went horribly wrong and electrocuted him!! Fortunately for him, that DIDN'T kill him but instead gave him electrical themed super-powers, turning him into a being of pure electricity! With that, he sets off to fight evil and stop criminals from doing their crimes. Only time will tell whether he actually accomplishes anything with this newfound sense of responsibility.

[Oggy]

Name: Brunhildr
Cost: 5
Height: 6’ 2”
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: Immortal

Powers:
• Class 90 Strength
• 95 Endurance and Durability.
Magic
• Elemental Magic (Emphasis on light and dark magic, i.e. light bending, shadow fields and the like, but also lesser uses of other elemental forces such as lightning or rain summoning. These are among her more devastating attacks. Plasma bolt is a city buster)
• Transfiguration
• Teleportation
• Transmogrification (mostly used to make inanimate objects animate and function under her control)
• Shamanism (primarily to speak to elements of nature such as plants or animals, can summon spirits)
• Alchemy
• Necromancy
Psychic
• Psychokinesis/Telekinesis
• Telepathic
• Psionic
• Ki/Chi manipulation
• Empathy
• Clairvoyance
• Transvection
Special note: Her magic and psychic powers are roughly mid to upper level and has high resistance to both.

Weapons:
• The great sword Excalibur, now a sacred weapon, unbreakable by human weapons and can fire celestial energy from it.
• The great sword Gram, sword of her beloved Siegfried, it is known as the Dragon Slayer. Like Excalibur, is a sacred weapon, unbreakable by human weapons.
• Celestial armor that greatly enhances her durability

Personality: Cold and aloof, Brunhildr is often unwilling to work with others, either because she believes they will slow her down, or she fears that whenever she becomes too close to someone, they are taken from her. She may also be seen as arrogant, as her centuries of combat have given her an unwavering level of combat prowess. While she has lost much of what made her a valkyrie, she has gained insight and powers that many would say have made her far more powerful than her previous title.

History: As legends state, Brunhildr was a Valkyrie that fell in love with the human Siegfried. Though Odin disapproved of the relationship, neither relented their love. To punish her, Odin banished Brunhildr from Valhalla, but then saw to it her love was murdered and his soul taken to Asgard, forever separating the two lovers. Despite her desperation, Brunhildr has never forsaken her love for Sigfried, even when he died in Ragnarok, and wants only to find a way to reunite with him. Because of this, she carries a deep-seeded hatred for Odin.
