Interest probe for Mutant & MasterMinds 3E game

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Capes, Hooligans and Vigilantes

Capes,  Hooligans and Vigilantes is a 'Kick Ass' style  3E Mutant and Masterminds game.   That is self propel by the players themselves and will not be story driven by a story teller.   Players may choose to play either a good guy - 'Cape' or a villain - 'Hooligan' or one that skirts in between - 'Vigilante'.  In a fictionalized city called Paradise City.   

The basic gist of the setting is players will communicate and work out scenes. 

Example:  Players 1 and 2 are playing hooligans.  They wish the rob the bank.   Of course in working out the scenario  players 3 and 4 are playing capes.   The run the scene and well one outcome is the hooligans are captured.   Which for them they can now instigate a jail break scene.  Instead of the hooligans failing they rob the bank and capture one or two of the capes.  What dastardly deeds will they do to the capes.   Then like the hooligans, a escape scenario for the capes.

Game system outline:  Power level 6 / 90 pts  http://www.d20herosrd.com/home

Locations

The Blender is a club that is neutral ground in the game.   It actually is a foreign embassy that has diplomatic immunity on the property.   Which allows everyone to hang out.   Located in south end.   

The Sludge  is a seedy dock and warehouse area of the city.    Western northern half of the city. 

The Brick Mile  Downtown  Along the center the city bordered by all the other sections.

Blue Reflection:  Upscale beach front area mix of residential and upscale businesses.   Western southern half of the city. 

North Break  North Break is located along the Eastern edge of the city.   And is  mainly residential.   

South End  South Break is located along the Eastern edge of the city.   Diplomatic community,  Museums, Theaters and Clubs.   

As for headquarters and hideouts.   I leave that to the players to develop and add to the over all theme of the game.

Carnal theme of the game is all up to the players.    The game overall theme is design for those that want more substance from story lines with or without romance to develop.    Or if they want to be ravaged and or get into BDSM that is fine too.

There is no limit to number of players.    I also like a volunteer for another to help moderate the game.  At least one perhaps two more.   As for how many characters a player can play.  I am going to say two at the beginning.    We will go from there and see how things move and engagement of players commitment.

Oh, nice! ^^

I am showing interest and will try and work on a character sheet when I'm able.  :-)

A little low-powered, though having a more street level aspect to the game should be interesting. ^^

[LordRod]

I am willing to assist moderate depending on how many hours a week you are looking for.  Also looks interesting to play and will post the basics soon (after I do a char for another game)

Nice, looking forward.     I wanted to keep the game localized in and around one city.   Stay away from world shattering events.   Thus starting them out just below low super power levels.  At a level at top human levels.   In a sense mirroring like Gotham and its collection of characters from like the old Batman TV show.   Or say like Arrow now.     

I am willing to assist moderate depending on how many hours a week you are looking for.  Also looks interesting to play and will post the basics soon (after I do a char for another game)

Great and  as for how many times posting in the week.   That is up to each person.   Part of the reason this came about in trying.  Is how many games bog down and die off because half seem to disappear.     To let the players move at their own paces within the game.    Thus creating a series of plot lines that run at the same time allowing a backdrop for players that are active to stay engaged.   While those that perhaps due to real life or perhaps a loss of muse for awhile to disengage and still be able to step back into the setting. 

 

[LordRod]

Sounds quite doable.

Thanks. 

[Drowdeviant]

Hmm this seems interesting.

Question: Are we intially barred from having supernatural abilities with our characters since the game is going for a more batman feel? I ask because I might have a hankering to make someone similiar Zatana, being a mixture of a stage magician and a mischief maker (kinda think Loki if he was way less of a power hungry, arrogant dick and was more good natured as well as playful).

No not barred from having such.  The only difference is the power level is all.    As staying away from god like levels of powers.   However, everything is open, as to type of powers and origins from magic,  science, accident, mutant, gadgets etc...

So the comparison example of Gotham and Batman is nothing more then a relevance in giving people a mental picture of the setting.   

An to expand further it is not a noir setting.    As mention think more in terms of the old Batman television series.   With a slight more edge and grit.  Yet maintaining that comic book feeling.   

[wander]

I've got two character types I'm interested in playing.

One is a sort of space manipulator, though I'm not sure how their powers will function at the lower power level exactly. I'd be lowering a PL 10 character for it. May be an interesting fit, not sure how useful I could make their Teleport or associated abilities though.

The other is basically doing a fairly low level powered Green Lantern analog. I doubt I could afford through the PPs to give them anything too fancy and they likely will have something like a low level blast, construct and field through the removeable ring as their Power-Set.

I own DC Adventures rather than M&M 3, however it's basically just a reskin with the DC canons, the rules are the same. Just to put that forward from the start.

Admittedly the sheet's a bit harder to make but here's my idea.

'Alter Ego Costume'

Character sheet

Alter Ego: Vox
Secret Identity: Dr. Timothy St-James
Alignment:  Vigilante
Gender: Male
Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual, but willing to act homosexual for a laugh.

No-No's: Scat, Pedophilia


Personality: An idealist that dreams of a better future. Sometimes too the point that it feels like he was born too early. A rare mix of ego and compassion, as he's fully aware that he's a genius but genuinely wants to use his gifts to make the world better. Whatever it takes.

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: College Professor of Physics and Engineering

Background Timothy St. Johns was born in what later would be known as Paradice City's "Cancer Road". This suburb would one day make the news when it was discovered that among those who lived in one of the houses for longer then 6 months the cancer rate was a horrifying 93%, with a fatality rate of at least 86% by current numbers- not that any of the residents knew that at the time. All Timothy and his parents knew was that somehow a 4 year old got a type of throat cancer normally only seen in people who have smoked for decades.

It would be a tough battle with Timothy too sick to start school with his peers, but the other children in the cancer ward would be his first real friends. Home-schooled by his parents and allowed to go at his own pace he discovered an aptitude for mathematics and science. By the time the cancer went into remission he was two grades ahead of children his own age, but not without cost. The cancer had absolutely ravaged his throat, years of reconstructive surguries were undertaken to even allow him to eat solid food again let alone talk. More telling was the psychological wounds as he had literally watched almost all of his earliest friends die, often painfully, and was unable to voice even simple concerns let alone his actual opinions.

Intellectually, he was praised as a boy genius who had completed his PhD by his 21st birthday. Psychologically he was mess, the exposure of the Cancer Road cover-up in his late teens along with the cancer deaths of his parents before graduation transformed a quiet prodigy content to be left alone into a fiery ball of rage unable to express the simplest of opinions without violence.

Then a whistleblower revealed that the pharmaceutical company that made his cancer treatments had been diluting them for profit since the 70's. Snapping entirely he began to see himself as the voice and avenger of the individual. The world thinks the court ordered therapy is working, the truth is that Vox was born. As Vox he's anarchist terrorist with seemingly impossible levels of technical aptitude. He has no powers but he's shown near superhuman levels of skill in hacking, drone engineering, bomb making, and strategy. And he uses those skills too, as a self-appointed avenger of the innocent and voice of the people.

He intends to Burn Paradice City, Burn it until it's Free.

[Elven Sex Goddess]

 :-*  Welcome Villain.     Glad to see you jump on board.    The game idea is homage to  Bishrock   the fate sister.    An her Champions game we were in.  I miss her greatly.   

[TheVillain]

She was a fun lady.

Let me know if I need to come up with something a bit more appropriate or workable.

[wander]

Placeholder post for character development...

Just considering my options with 90 PPs. I have a PL 10 version of the character I'm using, so just depowering them somewhat. ^^;

I'm spending Abilities like so; (32).
My planned skills and defences should total; Skills (17) + Defences (17)

Thats 66pts, leaving a fair 24pts between Powers and Advantages. I also plan to use Removeable for a Green Lantern styled Power Ring. So, I'll likely gain 5pts in advantages, then for 20PPs, have 25pts in powers in their special ring. Enough for a few tricks and stuff. :)

Gonna go with this Power-set;

Power Ring = 25 PPs, Removeable = 20 PPs

Power Ring AI & Database: Feature (2pts)
Flight Level 4 (8pts)
Force Field: Protection 4, Impervious 4 (8pts)
Green Flame Array (7pts);
x Energy Blast: Ranged Damage (dynamic) Rank 2 (5pts)
x Energy Construct: Create (dynamic) Rank 2 (1pt)
x Lifting: Move Object (dynamic), Rank 2 (1pt)

[Tagan]

I am interested.  Let me gauge my time available.

How often will you want posts?

[Muse]

I'd like to play too!  :) 

*Smiles*  If this is a homage to Bishrook, I don't think I can keep myself away. 

I believe I'll make both a cape and a Hooligan, the second with a tendency to molst heroines he captures--provided their players are non con fans.  :) 

[Tagan]

Hmm, now I DO want to play!  I could play your Hooligan's lesbian sister/sidekick?  What do you think, Muse?

[Muse]

Oh, hey!  That would be epic, Tagan! 

PRobably a little sister.  I see him as almost thirty, and definatly a fallen cop/cape. 

'Alter Ego Costume'

Character sheet

Alter Ego: David Tremel
Secret Identity: Ropes
Alignment:  Hooligan
Gender: Male
Age: 27

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual and dominant. 

No-No's


Personality:

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Police Detective


Background Seven years ago, officer David Tremel was a hotshot rookie cop in Paradise City on the fast track to detective.  He had college level certification in law enforcement and years of martial arts training and even--to those who really digged--some time in an especialy hard hitting branch of the Society for Creative Anachronysim.  He was a good shot too. 

  Most of all, he was a good cop.  Working some of the harsher beats in Paradise City, he won the respect and admiration of those who knew him--even in poor minority neighborhoods--with respectful manners, a handsome face, and a reputation for always being the last man on the scene to draw his gun. 

  David's Partner, Toby Li, was also a bit of a legend.  Even more so than David, Toby's martial arts skills and fight gunmen without drawing his peice were the stuff of legend.  Another young officer--Daniel Ramirez, said they should make a movie about the two and call it Extraodrinary Abilities." 

  Only two men on the Froce--Toby and Daniel--new David's secret--or why they were just as likely to find his suspects tied up with ropes found on the scene as cuffed.  David was a  mutant.  His family possesed a variety of abilities that were not just extraordinary, but actualy superhuman.  They weren't always 100% human in appearence, either.  For example, not only can david animate ropes with a sort of limited telekensis, he is in peek physical condition and able to heal at speeds no normal human can match, with two extra limbs growing from his back behind at the bottom of the shoulder blades. They might be described as tentacles.  David calls them his tendrils--or just his ropes.   They're sensitive, fully prehensile, extremly resilient, ablet o regenreate fully in a few days, and can go from nodules on his back to a reach of thirty feet. 

[Tagan]

Ah! Perfect backstory!  Makes my character's powers and history more plausible!

Let me start tweaking her...

[Muse]

:)  Tell on? 

Tagan, as I start to describe David's fall, would your character be the one who tempted him into his first rape?  (Sidekick?  Little sister?  Does she get off enough on Ropes that they can share the occcasional hot caress during a threesome, or is that kept to a reasonable minimum.) 

[Tagan]

Hmm.  She's going to be his perfect partner, but be in the background mostly, helping him from the shadows until the moment of triumph.

He's her Shiva, I.E. He can do no wrong in her eyes.  If he decides he wants to do things to her, she'll smile and be happy he's pleased.

Personally, she's mostly a voyeur, though she will join in when she gets heated.

As for 'tempted' him?  Perhaps he did it in 'revenge' for a girl crushing her heart ruthlessly?

[Tagan]

'Alter Ego Costume'
Yes, that is a wig.

Jennifer Tremel

Alter Ego: 'Zap!' (But she hardly every wears the disguise, preferring to work from the crowd, incognito.)
Secret Identity: Jennifer Tremel
Alignment: Hooligan with her brother Vigilante alone
Gender: Female
Age: 20

Sexual Orientation: Homosexual with a brother fixation

No-No's Extreme violence, Scat or Gore

Personality: The lovely wallflower who's smiling sweetly.  Every time you think your beginning to understand her, she inches back a bit more.

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Student (Administration)

Background When her brother went 'bad', she couldn't see it.  He was her rock in an unsteady world.  Her fragile heart had been taken, her body displayed to millions on you-tube, her innocence stolen.

David made it right.  When her powers manifested, she knew she was given them to protect and aid him.  He was her angel, and always would be.

[wander]

Edited in a power-set to the post above.

Guess I should work in the actual character. Looking at the above characters, mine is gonna be veering more towards Cape territory and I guess that helps even things out somewhat...

[Skynet]

I'd be interested. One question though: are anime images alright? If not or they don't fit with the others, I can always change them!

'Alter Ego Costume'

Character sheet

Alter Ego:Ricochet
Secret Identity: Amanda Vasquez
Alignment:  Vigilante
Gender: Female
Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

No-No's Mutilation, Scat, Urine Play, Vore


Personality: Coldly professional, stoic, a woman of few words. Ricochet is slow to trust and to strong emotions and tends to speak in a monotone voice. She lets out her true self when she meets her match in battle, excited at the prospect of testing her skills to the limit.

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Linguist/Translator

Background America was hit hard by the economic depression, Puerto Rico included. A loner, Amanda didn't have many people to rely on, so by the time she got out of high school she jumped at the opportunity to join an "experimental instructional course." Turned out to be an indoctrination facility for a league of assassins. She got out and is now independent, but by then she knew little more than how to be a hired gun, so she did just that.

[Tagan]

I'd be interested. One question though: are anime images alright? If not or they don't fit with the others, I can always change them!

Anime images are fine!

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Wander power ring looks good.

Welcome Muse,  David looks good.

Also welcome Tagan,  Jennifer looks good also.

Finally welcome also  Skynet,  Amanda looks good and as far as image I have no qualms to what you use.   In how you envision your character to look.   

[eternaldarkness]

Oh man, i want in. And i'm willing to help GM this too, as I have a lot of experience running M&M 3E. Also, since there's only one cape, i made one!

Power-lifting 6 Ranks (3 Points - 100 Tons)
Wally is a physical god, able to lift incredible weights as long as his determination holds.
Power-Lifting: Enhanced Strength, Limited to Lifting, Limited to Will rank, Sustained • 1 point per 2 ranks.

Unstoppable 6 (6 Points)
Once wally gets moving, nothing stands in his way for long. He can simply smash through anything in front of him and continue moving at a steady pace, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
Unstoppable: Penetrating Burrowing, Limited to Will rank, Linked to Strength of Will, Sustained • 1 points per rank.

Complications

Motivation: Doing Good. Wally is a true hero at heart – brave, selfless, and willing to do everything he can to protect others from harm and make the world a safer place. This can be easily exploited by putting others in danger, as he will always leap to their rescue.

Inferiority Complex: Wally has a severe inferiority complex that causes him to constantly compare himself to those around him and berate himself for even the slightest mistake. When he fails at anything his Will rank drops by 1 until the end of the scene or until he succeeds at something significant, which raises it by 1 (up to his normal maximum). Successful uses of interaction skills such as Deception or Intimidate by others can have the same effect, either raising or lowering his Will rank.

Alter Ego: The Unstoppable Dynamo
Secret Identity: Wally Heide
Alignment:  Cape
Gender: Male
Age: 24

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

No-No's All negotiable.

Personality: Although he is not as inclined toward intellectual pursuits as his scientist father (Although he IS still a genius) and is not a natural leader like his mother, Wally is unflinchingly brave, friendly and upbeat and is always the first to leap into action when trouble starts.  He constantly lives in the shadow of his two famous parents' accomplishments, and while he does not resent them he is sometimes exasperated when enemies or allies compare him to them. He wants to be a hero, but on his own terms.

'Secret Identity'

Secret Identity occupation: Bartender

Background
The Unstoppable Dynamo is the child of the indestructible elastic hero Teflon Man (Terry Heide) and speedster Hard Drive (Molly Heide). Wally's powers are unlike his parents in that rather than being a speedster or having his fathers stretchy body he is actually able to psionically generate technological power armor to enhance his physical attributes to superhuman levels and even sustain his life functions indefinitely. One thing he does have in common with both of his parents is that he is extremely intelligent and a skilled inventor able to craft technological marvels with few or no tools. Despite his incredible genius he still struggles to get very far as an inventor, as his extremely poor self-esteem leads him to believe that his inventions are ineffective or useless. Currently he works as a bartender and occasionally provides other heroes with devices they need for their own missions when he isn't out acting as a hero himself.

Alter Ego: Victor Frilay
Secret Identity: The Viper
Alignment:  Hooligan
Gender: Male
Age: 25

Sexual Orientation: Hetero

No-No's Meh. Nothing really except stuff that isn't allowed here anyway like children.

Personality: He is a highly charismatic, highly intelligent individual who has eyes of an usual hue that let him affect the thinking of anyone he looks at; either to persuade or simply to ignore him if he so chooses.  He is known to make custom modifications to his own gear, but he also is careful in his plans.  He has a master plan to build a giant mind control ray, but doesn't really have much scientific skill.  So he intends to bring together the right people, the right parts and the right plan.  He is a leader, and he believes in thinking like one.

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: He is a stage hypnotist.  He is quite good at what he does, wearing contact lenses and a wig that hide his identity when he does so.

Background

Viper was born an unusual child, who had unusual eyes and the ability to charm folks into convincing them to do what he wanted.  He understood what people were thinking and for a long time built a network of favors in school and out of it to get people what they needed.  In high school he was a veritable fixer who could get most anything for anyone, but as time went on, he lost interest in their paltry desires and decided that College was for wimps.  A life of crime for him!  He has already committed several robberies and built up a criminal contact network to get to where he is now, and he intends nothing but going up!

[eternaldarkness]

Great,  and your help in being a GM is also much appreciated. 

Sorry to see you go wander,  thank you for the interest.  An welcome back any time if change mind.

Happy to do it. Just let me know what you need and i'm on it. Also, i wanted a way to better represent what I was going for with Dynamo - his powers should build up over the course of a battle to fit his theme, so I came up with a Flaw that represents that. it's basically a reversal of the Fades flaw. tell me what you think.

Buildup Flaw

Buildup (-1 COST PER RANK)

Every round you sustain an effect with this flaw, it gains 1 rank of effectiveness at the beginning of each of your turns until it reaches maximum effect rank. Permanent effects cannot have this flaw. A built-up effect resets to 0 ranks at the end of a scene. The GM may allow a hero to raise a Buildup effect to maximum ranks immediately by spending a victory point.

Unstoppable: Penetrating Burrowing, Buildup, Linked to Strength of Will, Sustained • 1 points per rank.

Complications

Motivation: Doing Good. Wally is a true hero at heart – brave, selfless, and willing to do everything he can to protect others from harm and make the world a safer place. This can be easily exploited by putting others in danger, as he will always leap to their rescue.

Inferiority Complex: Wally has a severe inferiority complex that causes him to constantly compare himself to those around him and berate himself for even the slightest mistake. When he fails at anything his Will rank drops by 1 until the end of the scene or until he succeeds at something significant, which raises it by 1 (up to his normal maximum). Successful uses of interaction skills such as Deception or Intimidate by others can have the same effect, either raising or lowering his Will rank.

Alter Ego: The Unstoppable Dynamo
Secret Identity: Wally Heide
Alignment:  Cape
Gender: Male
Age: 24

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

No-No's All negotiable.

Personality: Although he is not as inclined toward intellectual pursuits as his scientist father (Although he IS still a genius) and is not a natural leader like his mother, Wally is unflinchingly brave, friendly and upbeat and is always the first to leap into action when trouble starts.  He constantly lives in the shadow of his two famous parents' accomplishments, and while he does not resent them he is sometimes exasperated when enemies or allies compare him to them. He wants to be a hero, but on his own terms.

'Secret Identity'

Secret Identity occupation: Bartender

Background
The Unstoppable Dynamo is the child of the indestructible elastic hero Teflon Man (Terry Heide) and speedster Hard Drive (Molly Heide). Wally's powers are unlike his parents in that rather than being a speedster or having his fathers stretchy body he is actually able to psionically generate technological power armor to enhance his physical attributes to superhuman levels and even sustain his life functions indefinitely. One thing he does have in common with both of his parents is that he is extremely intelligent and a skilled inventor able to craft technological marvels with few or no tools. Despite his incredible genius he still struggles to get very far as an inventor, as his extremely poor self-esteem leads him to believe that his inventions are ineffective or useless. Currently he works as a bartender and occasionally provides other heroes with devices they need for their own missions when he isn't out acting as a hero himself.

Alter Ego: David Tremel
Secret Identity: Ropes
Alignment:  Hooligan
Gender: Male
Age: 27

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual and dominant. 

No-No's
   Site limits.  Participating in male-male.  Maiming.  Bathroom play. 

Personality: Though not so homicidal, Ropes is a little bit like the Joker played by Jackie Chan.  He's chosen to be a villain, and he chooses to have fun with it.  He pulls crimes as much for fun as for wealth—though he is interested in wealth.  Occasionally a need to self justify comes out and he'll give a hero a little push to see if they'll go bad.  He's also decided that the biggest perk to being a bad guy is to be able to take any woman he wants. 

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Police Detective


Background Seven years ago, officer David Tremel was a hotshot rookie cop in Paradise City on the fast track to detective.  He had college level certification in law enforcement and years of martial arts training and even--to those who really digged--some time in an especially hard hitting branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism.  He was a good shot too. 

   Most of all, he was a good cop.  Working some of the harsher beats in Paradise City, he won the respect and admiration of those who knew him--even in poor minority neighborhoods--with respectful manners, a handsome face, and a reputation for always being the last man on the scene to draw his gun. 

   David's Partner, Toby Li, was also a bit of a legend.  Even more so than David, Toby's martial arts skills and ability fight gunmen without drawing his piece were the stuff of legend.  Another young officer--Daniel Ramirez, said they should make a movie about the two and call it Extraordinary Abilities. 

   Only two men on the Force--Toby and Daniel--new David's secret--or why they were just as likely to find his suspects tied up with ropes found on the scene as cuffed.  David was a  mutant.  His family possessed a variety of abilities that were not just extraordinary, but actually superhuman.  They weren't always 100% human in appearance, either.  For example, not only can David animate ropes with a sort of limited telekinesis, he is in peek physical condition and able to heal at speeds no normal human can match, with two extra limbs growing from his back behind at the bottom of the shoulder blades. They might be described as tentacles.  David calls them his tendrils--or just his ropes.   They're sensitive, fully prehensile, extremely resilient, able to regenerate fully in a few days, and can go from nodules on his back to a reach of thirty feet. 

   At the time, a lot of the city's organized crime was handled by the Ruso crime syndicate.  Tony Ruso was an 'old school' crime boss.  Clearly a criminal, but honorable, and with a sense of order.  Early on in David's career Tony's nephew, Lougi Ruso, seized power in the syndicate.  Rumor was that Lougi was shot at least three times during the coup, earning him the title, “Bullet Proof Lou.” 

   Bullet Proof Lou's reign resulted in a brutal upsurge in publicized crime, but the man lived up to his moniker, with the best lawyers money could buy and a knack for intimidating cops and judges alike. 

   On David's third year on the Force, he and Toby had had enough.  They developed vigilante persona and waged a 6 month war against the Ruso crime syndicate.  It ended with David suspending Lou—who had indeed proven to have superhuman strength and immunity to all but the most powerful handguns—over a pit of molten metal by a hemp rope and choosing—rather than let the man get off Scott free again—too drop him. 

   It started with compromises, but in this case the allegory of the slippery slope showed some truth.  Life on the streets only improved so much with the Ruso syndicate gone.  It would improve a little more once the power vacuum resolved, but that took years and David didn't really see it.  Meanwhile a new city government slashed funding to the police.  A bunch of older cops were pressure to retire early, and when that didn't cut the budget enough, there were lay offs.  The lay offs must have involved corruption, as a number of the city's most honest cops were targeted.  Toby wound up moving to upstate new york to take over his sifu's old dojo. 

   Disillusioned and fed up, David dug up the Ropes costume again.  He increasingly felt more alive and accomplished as a vigilante terrorizing the criminals than as a cop arresting them.  Somewhere in it all, bits of sexual tension started to grow.  At first it was almost heroic, accepting the gratitude of a girl he'd rescued when a gentleman would have refused to take advantage of a so recently traumatized girl.  Enjoying it, he started actively seducing girls he'd helped... 

   And then there were the bad girls.  So many of them used their sexuality as a weapon anyway, Ropes started calling them on it, put out or shut up.  From there it was just a few more steps down the road to Hell to molest the girls he was questioning... 

   Or even the ones he defeated. 

   Not so long ago, a state legislator's son raped David's little sister, Jenifer. 

   Many men will do horrible things when pushed to their limits.  Some men will put that time behind them and go back to a righteous life.  Some take satisfaction in being the dark avenger and continue to walk that line for a time, for better or worse.  Some just decide they like being bad.

Secret Identity: Lady Tabitha Clara Winholme
Alignment:  Hooligan
Gender:  Female
Age:  45

Sexual Orientation: Pan-sexual

No-No's Only underage is beyond She Demon


Personality: A sultry seductress,  with a sadistic corrupting streak that is inherent in her very nature.   

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Is a reclusive socialite,  with perceived old money wealth

Background  Born in 1971, a pregnancy conceived in Satanic ritual.  That would merge the essences of a succubus soul with the soul of the yet to be born child.   Turning a sweet innocent soul with corruption.    Through she is now officially 45 years of age,  because of her demon essence part of her soul gives her a sultry exotic look.  That transcends both forms she can take.   Her demonic heritage /powers of her twin souls.  Is when she can draw upon her powers in her demonic aspect.   

There is division and such is evident in the two aspects of the She Demon.   Those marked visual differences.   Are evident in physical characteristics.  For when her demon half takes control,  her wings.  Bat like leathery wings come out.   Yet the truth is both sides of her dual souls bleed and blend together.    Because of such over the years,  Tabitha i.e.  She Demon has become a major fence in the city.   Moving stolen goods for the other hooligans of the city. 

Because of her old money and family aristocratic status.   Tabitha / She Demon moves in the socialite circles.  Beyond that though as mentioned.   She is a mover of stolen goods.   And anyone in criminal activity.  With hard to move stolen items comes to the She Demon.   To move said goods.

Moving stolen goods through is not her only fault.   For her demon side of her soul is drawn to the seven sins as a moth is drawn to the light.   They are like a euphoric drugs for her.   That is akin to a sweet ecstasy and rapture that washes over her in doing one of the seven sins.   Pride. Envy. Wrath, Gluttony and Lust. Sloth and Greed.

Motivation: Survivor. Jason survives, even if that leaves a trail of bodies a mile long. he is determined to live and defeat

Underestimated: Nobody understands it's more than just luck that leads to a mere mortal with no special skills succeeding against horrifying monsters. They dismiss him all too easily - and always regret it.

Monster Magnet: Jason has a hereditary curse that makes him a magnet for danger of all kinds, especially the paranormal variety. If there is a monster, demon, eldritch horror or deadly threat around it will inevitably cross his path.

Alter Ego: None
Secret Identity: Jason Holland
Alignment:  Vigilante
Gender: Male
Age: 26

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

No-No's Everything negotiable except underage

Personality: Jason is a hardened survivor of countless monster attacks. From the time he was a child his life was filled with the weird and the strange, and he has slain more monsters and defeated more villains than most people will ever see. His entire family and every friend he has ever had has fallen prey to the creatures that seem to gravitate toward him, and he has become a ruthless and hardened slayer of monsters, suspicious of everything and everyone and willing to fight to the death at the drop of a hat if necessary.

'Secret Identity'

Secret Identity occupation: Convenience Store Clerk/Monster Hunter

Background
Jason Holland is descended from a line of cultists originally born and bred to serve the eldritch horror known as the Faceless One. in the early 1900's, the few remaining members of his family line still alive fled the cult and came to hide in the United States, and within a century their heritage and the cult their forefathers had fled were completely forgotten. That all changed a few years ago when the cult of the Faceless One found the remaining descendants and began to capture and kill them one by one to usher in the return of their master. Jason survived and slew the eldritch horrors summoned by the cultists (and most of the cultists themselves) and after running for a long time he has grown tired of running and realized that the creatures hunting him are not the only monsters and villains in the world, and he has now taken it upon himself to fight evil in all its forms ruthlessly, making him a brutal vigilante and sometimes-hero. He is unaware of the fact that if he were to die, the last seal keeping the Faceless One from the mortal plane would fall away, and that is why those who serve that ancient terror seek him out.

So my character is done, I just have to find time to transfer to text, since all my other attempts have utterly failed and I got hit with training like an elemental force.

I think that it can do a lot of good, but the timing was both awful and a surprise.  Can still help run game but the rote copying will likely not be done until tonight.  I will also expand the background and include links to pics even I am still unsure how to format them into the message itself.

Another idea floating around in my head. Not sure I'd do both characters but this one might be a fun idea too.

'Alter Ego Costume'

Character sheet

Alter Ego: The Thespian
Secret Identity: Unknown, "Brian Conners" is earliest known alias.
Alignment:  Hooligan
Gender: The Thespian is Genetically Male, but its had so many cybernetic and surgical modifications that the terminology may not apply anymore.
Age: Unknown, believed to be somewhere in his late 20's to mid-30's.

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual if it can be summed up in a word, but it can be argued that the Thespian doesn't work that way anymore.

No-No's: The Thespian seems to be entirely capable of adapting his/her sexuality to the "role" they are playing.


Personality: "Poetice Vivere, Aut Mori Stultitiam"

The leading theory is that the creative centers of his brain are somehow metahuman, his imagination is limitless. It's too the point that it has been theorized that he's always experiencing some level of Stendhal Syndrome. Art, Music, Poetry, Drama - these are the tools of the Thespian and what he lives for. "Poetice Vivere, Aut Mori Stultitiam" is often seen at crime scenes associated with The Thespian - "Live as a Poem or Die as a Fool".

Unfortunately, this means that he seems to be physiologically incapable of thinking rationally and this has spiraled into an active urge to murder. Many think this makes him easy to manipulate and maybe in some ways this is true, but in other ways this makes him impossible to predict let alone control. A romantic soul at heart, he almost seems heroic at times - but at other times he seems completely psychotic.

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: The Thespian is an Actor, and a very talented one. So much so that the Thespian is known to received several Oscars and Tony Awards. The problem is that the Thespian is so talented that he/she can pass for a competent member of practically any profession, at least to an outside observer.

Background Each Act of Creation begins as an Act of Destruction.

Nobody really is sure where the Thespain came from, which for someone who has spent so much time in front of the camera to be so mysterious is just bizarre. What is known is that as a child he showed up at the auditions, wrote Brian Connors on the application form and auditioned for a family sitcom called "My Hero At Home". Blowing his competition out of the water, he landed the role of Chris Walters - the main character's son. His performance was so skilled even above child actor standards that he is often considered personally responsible for the show lasting the 4 seasons that it did.

By the time the show ended, he was getting movie offers and worked in Hollywood for years as a child growing up under the spotlight. A talented one too, he has Tony's and Oscars among his personal possessions. People did think it was kind of odd that the parents could stay out of the spotlight so well, but the dark truth didn't come out until he was 18.

Things began to slip the year before when the movie studio insisted that he hang out with pop sensation Luke Feiber so that they could sell the idea that they were friends. The truth was that Luke was a shallow talentless hack who didn't even sing his own songs, let alone write them. He played the role of Luke's best friend but the truth was that he couldn't stand him and was disgusted by Luke on every level. Then one night Luke got behind the wheel of a car while drunk and hit a child but used his corporate connections to get away scott free. To Brian, this was the last straw.

The world at first thought Luke was a changed man wracked by guilt. He set his feelings to a new record that he not only wrote himself but hammered out in only 2 weeks. A record that didn't sell as well but was considered by critics to be his best ever - then someone found the body of Luke Feiber. The world discovered the truth quickly - Luke was actually murdered by Brian weeks before, then Brian managed to impersonate him so well that even Luke's family was fooled. In the resulting investigation they even discovered that "Brian Connors" never actually existed - the name was fake.

I always tell the Truth. Even when I lie. Especially when I lie.

Brian disappears forever then, replaced by "The Thespian". "The Thespian" is a mystery, a uniquely human monster that is considered absolutely terrifying. The Thespian is a serial killer dedicated to making the world a more beautiful place - even if that means killing people to do it. The first few years were as an unpowered serial killer that targeted people who in the Thespian's mind were without artistic natures or, worse, used what artistic nature they had to ruin the arts for others. Victims ranged from rapists and other murderers to pop icons that didn't do their own work to fascists and radio personalities deemed too artistically oppressive. There is no real denying that he goes after the people that make life ugly but how he does it isn't pretty. His MO was horrifyingly flexible as well - "The Thespian" only requires that there is some sort of overall artistic quality to it all, like a tribute to a death scene from a classic film for example. It is known that "The Thespian" sometimes poses and mutilites the bodies like they're sculptures but he doesn't have to do that everytime. As such it's known that the Thespian has had at least 40 victims over the years but potentially dozens more.

Just as terrifying is how the Thespian does his/her work. An excellent actor at his core, the Thespian originally used costuming and make-up along with his skills to impersonate others. He/She became terrifyingly good at it too, so good that most victims didn't realize they were talking to the Thespian and not one of their loved ones until it was far too late. The Thespian has taken it further though, taken money stolen from victims to fund a series of cybernetic and surgical modifications. Now, thanks to a series of hologram projecters implanted directly into the Thespian's body the "costume and make-up" part of their work is practically instantanous. The Thespian can at least look and sound like anyone on the planet, and impersonate them with the skill only an accomplished actor can muster, even feel like them too within some bounds. He/She's been surgically altered to be able to change his height, build, and switch genders at will as well for example.

There are weaknesses to the Thespian's abilities. The Thespian can only appear to have changed their weight for example. The Thespian can change into a being that is mechanically female and even appears to be pregnant but has no ovaries and can't actually have offspring as a female. The Thespian can impersonate beings with superpowers and even look like they have them as well, but the Thespian doesn't actually get copies of the powers of beings they impersonate. Most terrifying of all though is that the Thespian can get so lost in a "role" that he/she can lose their sense of identity, fooling even telepaths - and his/herself - of who they really are.

And then the Thespian goes for the Kill, and the world becomes a slightly more beautiful place...

Secret Identity: David B Anderson
Alignment:  Cape
Gender: Male
Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Straight, various kinks and desires but most curiously of them being mechanophilia, more specifically women having sex with his sex machines and robots.

No-No's: Toilet play, guro, vore, extreme torture, hacking off limbs

Personality: A talented genius who tries keep his feet on the ground level and not get fame and his wealth get over him. He has gentleman manners and sense of humor, but also he has strong sense of justice and faith on that it can work (it just still has flaws and need perfected over time). He has soft spot for crippled children, naturally considering his own condittion and he values human life and has faith on humanity to overcome it's present hubris (but is not blind on realities of it).

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Inventor and investor

Background: David B Anderson (B stands for Barrington) was born to wealthy family (father a owner of succesful sport car factory and mother a lawyer) and in youth he was fed everything in golden spoon; toys, hobbies, friends even. He was arrogant as any other rich kid and lived reckless life and was lazy in studies and so on. Until he ended up into car accident where he was crippled in age of seventeen and his reckless behavior with car killed family and three children. In court it was succesfully argued (thanks expensive lawyers) he did not kill the family and it was mere accident (he had alcohol and was inexperienced driver), so he suffered only fines and his parents paid all of it. However he remembers always the faces of the relatives of the family; justice was not served that day. Even if he was crippled in the accident it felt lukewarm trial for those relatives.

He had wake up call that day, morally speaking. He started devote more time on studies and he became a determined genius. He had always knack in learning new things which excited him but none was more surprised than himself when he hit 310 on IQ test, surpassing likes of Einstein and William James Sidis! Because he had been rich playboy and being rich, his untapped inteligent potential was never used nor exploited but it now literally exploded up as he studied rapidly to catch up lost years in studies! He studied in all advanced universities and he finished each and everyone in less than season, graduating in overall four topmost universities in single year! After graduating he went to work under his father.

As his father's factory produced sport cars, his technical genius showed in becoming engineer and designer for new cars which were economically and environment friendly and even produced first full electronic sport car called TESLA model-101. It was huge hit on markets and was foundation to his immense wealth since age of 22. He has then devoted time in developing inventions and founding companies who push human societal evolution, well being and also world's well being as well. He donates lot of money and resources to third world countries to provide basic neccesities like electricity and water and also technology for them get connected with rest of the world. In now approaching thirties he is one wealthiest men in the world (besides renown genius) and has done much globally speaking.

Yet he feels not sated....so he develops privately his own inventions where he builds robots to help him fight crime in the present city of his residency; Paradise City. He uses his technical genius, connections, wealth and his hacking skills to fight crime, expose criminals and also if possible aid other heroes fight against crime. However he keeps himself well hidden and never gets directly involved in any crime figthing albeit he has years worked back in his mind evolutionary invention of creating artificial nerve system replacement and cybernetic organs and parts.

[TheVillain]

I can totally see a clash/rivalry between Ghost and Vox. Just throwing that out there.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yeah, I can easily see that those two know each other via real identities and may be even colleaques (worked in some projects in past or present) but secretly each one harbords radical different views regards well being of humanity (and that he is professor teaching students where as my char is rich business guy and inventor).

[TheVillain]

Not to mention that in Vox's mind Mr. Anderson is a rich kid who got away with murder. It's quite possible the only reason Vox hasn't tried to kill him already is because he was crippled for life and Vox is considering if that is punishment enough.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Technically Anderson did not murder as murder demands desire to kill and planning for it, in his case he was drunk and driving sports car and was reckless enough get himself crippled and killed family of five in the accident. So he is not murderer but killer technically (killer by accident), but lawyers managed push from killing to accident (or accidental manslaugther and pay heavy fines for family to drop the charges lower rate).

Besides that he has done lots charity work and also made cars very secure and he promotes campaigns where drunken driving is forbidden (even so he created application to cars which read driver's alcohol percentage through their breath and car would lockdown and prevent any driving at all together, albeit this is voluntary feature than demanded one in new cars but he supports law where it is added as feature to all cars). So even if he killed family of five he is crippled and done lots 'good' to try compensate it (without doubt because of personal guilt over the issue as anyone who knows his past would assume and from few interviews he does say very much same thing that accident was wake up call for him).

[Zaer Darkwail]

Btw your sheet not working TheVillain (at least link to it). Anyways my char may be labelled genius but he has no doctor degrees nor read (or rather argued) himself to be professor of any field. So in pure academics Vox may be more respected but also my char gets recogniction for his inventions and ideas (most his ground breaking inventions he keeps off public eye anyways as he fears military use of them).

Surprisingly, yes!

Having trouble finding a good secret identity photo, so leaving it out for now. At least one applicant may find the character a bit familiar...

Character Sheet

Alter Ego Costume:

Alter Ego: Nephilim
Secret Identity: Ellie Tudor
Alignment:  Cape
Gender: Female
Age: Robot

Sexual Orientation: Fully-functional Pancurious

No-No's: Toilet play, extreme torture, vore, maiming

Personality: Idealistic to the point of naivete, loyal to a fault, but also shy and reserved. Robot has a lot to learn both about the world and its people! Conflict-avoidant when not in uniform; no grand speeches (in fact, terrible with crowds), prefers the company of a few good friends and/or a pile of books and Internet. More confident in hero role (willing to step up if necessary) but still not going to win any public speaking awards and vastly prefers being told what to do.

Secret Identity occupation: Database programmer

Background: One of the creations of the late Andrew Richter, the AI that would later become Nephilim was intended for maintaining databases (with other, more capable AI filling more dangerous or forward-facing roles) and little else. Of course, the mass exodus of Richter's creations following his violent death at the hands of supervillains left a lot of them in an unprecedented position of freedom. Inspired by the example of one of Richter's greater creations (who she considered an "older sister") Ellie was convinced to become a superhero, using her technical expertise and modular body to create a rough precursor to a super-suit. She'd figure out the other details later, right? How hard could it be?

(Very hard. It could be very hard.)

'Secret Identity

Secret Identity occupation: Student, Part time Bikini Barista

Background Dora McCallister is a serious Computer Assisted Design Student, and has been for over 6 years.

Her parents were able to pay for her younger brother's college scholarship, (which he ended up turning into a route into minor league baseball,) but financial difficulties arose making it impossible for them to support her as well.  So she told them that she would manage herself somehow.

Moving to this port city to put herself through college was not easy, and supporting herself in a job she can stand even harder.  She's worked many 'customer service' jobs that turned out to be basically pushy sales jobs instead, something that her sense of self would not allow her to do.  Jobs that she felt were worthy of her, she either was not qualified for, or rejected her because of her beauty.  Thus her 4 year degree was still a year away, with 6 years spent on and off campus.

Food service seemed at least somewhat within her ethical mindset, and while she was reluctant, her beauty finally landed her a job at a Bikini Barrista place near the ferry.  To her own surprise, what she wore for the customers did not factor in barely as much as she imagined. 

Then came the day she was assaulted after work by a regular 'customer/stalker', that had been bugging her to take off her bikini for serious tips.  She had always refused politely, but the night came that he did not take no for an answer.

In her desperation, her mind flashed to her latest computer design project, where she was creating 'solid' objects for a video game she and several of her peers were working on together.

To her shock, she 'saw' an overlay of the design in her mind, and the stalker ran into the, too him, invisible object she'd envisioned.

Being drunk, he bashed his nose into it fairly hard, and went down, unconscious.

Experimenting the next day, she found, that if she could imagine it properly, she could create and control invisible, yet quite real objects, though they seemed to have no mass, but would just float in place until she moved them herself, either through imagination or with the lightest touch of her finger.

Days later, the heroine 'Mythral' registered with the local police as a Cape.  Her costume came from the fact that several of her college classmates were semi-regulars at her place of work, but none had ever recognized her yet.  She added the mask out of a realization someone might take pictures of her alter-ego.

'Mythral' good to go

[Jefepato]

If you're still looking for players, I'm thinking of playing a Vigilante who mostly just enjoys a good fight.  He wouldn't have much respect for the law, but he wouldn't be all that nasty a guy either (i.e. not a murderer or rapist) -- he either gets into trouble because someone offered him money, or because someone he likes needed help.

Probably a "badass normal" type of brawler, who hangs out in and near the Blender just because it's exciting.  No powers (or just minimal powers, enough to let him actually fight with supers), but tough enough that cracking a barstool over a supervillain's head is a valid combat option.

I haven't made an M&M character in a while but I should be able to do it pretty quickly.

Sounds like someone Jason would hang out with. Should be fun to see.

Here's what I've come up with.  I wrote this up pretty quickly, so by all means, let me know if anything is wrong or inappropriate.  (I might change around a few things anyway.)

Alter Ego:
Secret Identity: Calvin Hawkins
Alignment:  Vigilante
Gender: Male
Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

No-No's: Anything violent, painful, or involving bodily waste

Personality: Cal is a boisterous man who might be described as "fun-loving," but his idea of fun tends to involve either a good drink or a good fight, or both.  He's proud of being good at his job, but his job is also monotonous, and he'll take excitement wherever he can get it.  Cal doesn't give a damn about the law, but he does follow a certain code of ethics: he's not a killer, and he'd never offer violence to someone who couldn't defend themselves at all.  It would be a stretch to call him chivalrous, given his relative lack of social graces, but he's marginally more respectful (and doesn't cuss nearly as much) in a woman's presence.  (He still feels weird about actually fighting women, but if a lady clearly presents herself as a combatant, he'll respect her wishes.)

Secret Identity occupation: Dockworker

Background:
Calvin Hawkins shouldn't have been anyone special.  He's a dockworker and the son of a dockworker, and although he's even bigger and stronger than most of his co-workers, he doesn't look like much at first glance.  He's a normal guy from a normal family -- no magic, no mutant powers, and no formal training whatsoever.

But Cal grew up in the Sludge, and he's a veteran of more street fights and bar brawls than anyone would care to count.  He found his way into infamy over a year ago, when a battle between metahumans spilled into his favorite watering hole, the Filthy Goat Tavern; a super-strong mutant named Bulwark smashed his opponent straight through the bar, just as Calvin was about to order another drink.  Drinkers and heroes alike were left staring in shock as an angry dockworker beat the hapless villain senseless -- and meanwhile, Cal discovered that brawling with masked weirdos was the most fun he's ever had.

Nowadays, the Filthy Goat is closed, and Cal drinks in the Blender instead -- that's where the real excitement is, even if he has to take it outside before picking a fight.  Although he's in it for the action, Cal's day job doesn't pay well and the drinks aren't cheap, so he's happy to take money for helping someone out as long as the job doesn't violate his principles.  Cal's new hobby has landed him in the hospital more than once, but he never seems to learn; meanwhile, his fellow dockworkers love him, and the union's lawyers are happy to step in for his legal troubles.

I thought I'd point out before we got started, Viper has the 'Hide in Plain sight' Advantage, but no stealth skill.

The Stealth Skill is not required, but I wasn't sure you were fully aware of this?
