Hey Stephane,

Welcome to the boards!!!

Jeff

I've been here on and off since it's inception (hallofjustice), but I've stopped a while back.  I see that Dom has used this site as his main for V&V stuff. Quite a prolific one our Mr Sumner.

I've been posting most of my V&V stuff here, and dropping my M&M and general superhero related material over on Critical Fumble. Either way, welcome aboard. Now if I can just get a few more guys I know to drop by and take a look.

I don't blame you after the last debacle over there.

This said, I'll try to come here more often, but this is a pretty colourful site and it's a bit difficult to keep in a corner of the screen at work. I'll see about playing with the styles.

Yup. It's one of my old characters (it didn't get used often as I mostly GMed back  then). I have the sheet and the drawing I did (ages ago), but it's in a box and it's not handy. When I get a hold of it, I'll post it.

I'll drop two powers and a weakness for each of them. Knock-Out and Gopher are a romantically involved villain duo.

They got their superhuman abilities while stealing an experimental vibro-healing device. Gopher's powers violently emerged as an unexpected side effect while testing out the newfangled equipment.

In a painfully ironic turn of events, the vibro-eruption destroyed the device and left his girlfriend out of commission for a time (hence Knock-Out's lower level), although her powers emerged soon afterward.

Knock-Out has Devitatalization Ray and Heightened Senses: radius = Intelligence, senses the life force (power points) of others, including invisible targets and those on the other sides of walls, PR = 1 per turn. Does not work on androids/robots or the living dead: ghosts/zombies/etc.

Gopher has Vibratory Powers with Speed Bonus increasing his tunneling rate through solids ... after Knock-Out senses if the coast is clear.

Wraith: She was fooling around a cemetery on a dare. She entered a tomb and, unknowingly, released a mystical being from its shackles. She was drained of her energy by that being. Instead of dying, she became WRAITH! She is now permanently ethereal, can fly and drain people of their energy herself. She can sense energy levels and especially the beast who put her in this place (it is a black hole of energy). She avoids him like the plague. Whenever he's around or a creature like it is, she will lose a random power for 3x the exposure time. She has not met more than 2 of these creatures at the same time.

(I'll do Ripple in another post)

Japanese
Female
Good
Body Power ( Shapeshifter Humanoid)
Telepathy
Mind Contol
Natural Weaponry and Htnd Defense( She just said Good Fighter)
Sounds like a combo of Mystique and Marionette but she made it up herself

By the way her name is Inori ( The character, not my daughter)

Ear-Splitter

A monolithic machine man with deafening speakers across his steel surface, the robot that the press has named Ear-Splitter is stealing technology to build a titanic speaker loud enough to transmit sound to his home galaxy. The crash landed alien construct desperately wants to be rescued by its creators and deafening every human on Earth to do it is a small price to pay.

Powers:
1. Robotic Body: 47% Human Appearance. 3 x normal Weight; +12 Strength.
     a) Bonus Device: Sonic Abilities

2. Illusions (A): Sonic illusions (Super-ventriliquism. Can make any sound seem like its coming from anywhere within his range, including eliminating sound entirely or filling an area with a deafening cacophony)

Ripple
Male - American Level: 4
Powers:
1. Heightened Endurance (B): +20
2. Vibratory Powers: as per book
3. Heightened Attack: +4 Dam
4. Speed Bonus: +100" This is added to movement for purpose of phasing through solid matter (as per Vibratory powers).
5. Low Self Control: He's scared of being stuck in solid matter. When he moves through, if he doesn't make it through with half his enhanced movement rate he will retreat back to a safe area. He will not spend a between turn in solid matter.

Ripple suffers from a form of claustrophobia. It's related to his powers in that he cannot spend between turns in solid matter.

Outside of that, he's a master at moving through matter. He's done a fair amount of bank jobs which he does so at night or over weekends when there is little chance of being disturbed and he can take his time coming to and from the vault.

Mythos

1. Armor (B) ADR 100
2. Heightened Charisma +20
3. Sonic Abilities Device - Spear Butt
4. Weather Control Device - Spear (focus)
5. Animated Servant (Magical) Magichanicle Owl
6. Special Requirement - Must pray to Zeus daily for the spear to be reinfused with power

Animated Servant: Magi-chanical Owl, Intelligence 25, Highly perceptive (x3 detect danger and hidden), Wings, Invulnerability 10 (magi-metal contruct), prophesy.

Background:

Percy is yet another bastard son of Zeus. He gets around that one. He lived his childhood normally in a single mother household. He grew up thinking his father was a traveler and was unreachable. His mother always had a fetish/obsession of the roman mythology.

At the age of 13, upon turning a man, his father came to call. He was told of his inheritance and Zeus granted him a boon. As the son of a god, he inherited his father's incredible charisma on that day. Zeus looking on his son and how unprepared he was to this world stopped there. He told him that he had an important future and he would return upon his 21st birthday to fulfill his destiny.

Upon his 21st Birthday, Zeus didn't show, but Diana did instead. She told him that like another once before, she would help him achieve his destiny. She gave him tools to allow him to do his bidding. These tools had been made by Hades himself and infused with power by Zeus.

He received a suit of Roman armor, a spear and a magi-chanicle owl. She told him that Hades was fond of these little things. She instructed him in the use of these items of wondrous power. The armor made him nigh-invulnerable. The spear allowed him to control weather and the sky if he focused and concentrated. He was able to summon thunder by simply slamming the spear-butt on the ground. The owl was a devoted creature. It could speak. It was there to bring him wisdom. Although, wisdom usually came in the form snarky comments. It can prophecised the future, but when the prophesies came, they came in the form of riddles and were unmistakable (They take over the owl. Its head turns around three precise rotations and the voice uttering the prophesy is devoid of the Owl's persona and purely mechanical).

Oh No! My subterfuge is found! I am undone! Wink

I was too tempted into doing a Thor wannabe, so I changed it and I saw a Clash of the Titans poster.. You can guess the rest. I'll come up with a set in a while, I'll let others be more creative than me with this set of powers

Doesn't that count as two powers if it's over 130? Maybe that's okay. I might not get the rules of this.

Wildwing is an extraterrestrial who was orphaned on Earth when her natural parents were shot down by hunters.

Her powers include heightened abilities and Wings. Accompanying her on adventures is her "pet" human: Jared, the overprotective but cooperative adult son of the couple who adopted/raised her.

Wildwing's special requirement is that she's an herbivore and can eat only grass/leaves and water; eating meat, dairy, or processed footd gives her food poisoning (as devitalization).

Thanks, Skydiver!

Exonaut!
Physicist Jayne Fields has accidentally uncoupled herself from existence in an experiment gone tragically awry. The chain reaction process that would remove her physical body completely from reality would take a month to unfold and then she would be gone forever, to who knows where?! Jayne had 30 days to save her own existence; to somehow anchor herself to this dimension.
With minutes to spare, she created the Exonaut exoskeleton and now she explores the boundaries of the multiverse as Exonaut!

Origin type: Accidental Scientific
Personality Type: Super-scientist adventurer/explorer
Level: 1
Sex: Female
Age: 30

Weight: 130 lbs.
Strength: 9
Endurance: 10
Agility: 12
Intelligence: 17
Charisma: 15

Background: Scientist, Research/Technology

Powers: All Jayne's devices are combined in the Exonaut exoskeleton:

Invisibility Device: As per the rules, but reversed. Jayne is permanently invisible and must spend charges to be visible!

Non–Corporealness Device: Jayne is permanently non-corporeal and must spend charges to have a physical, tangible form! To be clear, when not spending charges, Jayne and the exoskeleton are invisible and non-corporeal.

Vibratory Powers Device: When Jayne presses herself further into our dimension, it creates a local disturbance. She can focus this disruption in the fabric of reality into an attack wave, as per Vibratory Powers.

Psionics Device: Dimensional Sense: As per personal Dimensional Travel except Jayne is immaterial and unsubstantial in all other dimensions. The Exonaut exoskeleton, that keeps her in our reality, doesn't work anywhere else but in the frequencies of her home dimension.
So in all other dimensions, she is permanently invisible, permanently non-corporeal, mute and completely undetectable by normal means. She is just a disembodied consciousness who can merely observe these other dimensions, similar to a weaker form of Astral Projection.

Phobia/Psychosis: While putting on a brave face, Jayne secretly lives in terror that the Exonaut exoskeleton will fail and she will be reduced to ghost-like non-existence at home as well. She is driven to find a cure for her condition or secure her place here permanently through other means.
All Inventing Points and leisure time must be spent in this effort; to cure her condition, add charges to the exoskeleton, etc. If a villain were to offer a cure, she would take it, even if it meant joining him and attacking her friends (like early Ben Grimm).

PS: When Jayne uses the disruption attack, the rippling waves in the fabric of reality give away her position, even if she's invisible.
