Ursine's custom creations: James Marshal, Cheshire

[ursinethemadbear]

Ok, obviously I stopped posting the WOTD builds again. Life just got a little too hectic. So I am going back to just posting characters as I come up with them, with no kind of schedule.

HERE is the full Toy Chest.

• Feather Of The Phoenix: Easily Removable [-4] • 6 points total

• Damage: 4, Improved Critical 2 [18-20], Strength-based • 6 points
• Enhanced Advantages: 2, Improved Critical 2 [4 total, 16-20], Limited [Only In Sunlight] • 1 point
• Multiattack: 6, Limited [Only In Sunlight], Applies To Damage Effect • 3 points

The Feather Of The Phoenix is a scimitar crafted of fine damscene steel, with odd tints of red and gold in the metal. While an exceptional blade at any time, its true power is only shown under the light of the sun. When exposed to sunlight, the blade seems to shine brightly, and the wielder finds his blade moving with supernatural alacrity.
The Feather Of The Phoenix was forged before the first crusade and was used in battle many times against the christians invading the Holy Land, until it was captured by an unnamed templar knight during the third crusade. The Feather was transported back to France, and placed in one of the Templar's vaults, and has not been seen again.

• Nemean Mantle: Removable [-8] • 34 points total

• Immunity: 40, Slashing, Piercing • 40 points
• Protection: 2 • 2 points

Though not great protection from bludgeoning attacks or energy, this garment, made from the hide of the infamous nemean lion, is impossible to slash or pierce. Of course this beggs the question, How did they manage to get the hide of the lion in the fist place?

• Royal Pain's Pacifier: Easily Removable [-12] • 18 points total

• Affliction: 10, Ranged, Alternate Resistance [Dodge then Fortitude], Secondary Effect, 1st degree- Dazed, 2nd degree- Stunned, 3rd degree- Transformed [Into a Baby] • 30 points

As featured in the somewhat amusing Disney movie Sky High, the Pacifier turns anyone struck by it into an infant.

Hedge Wizard's Hat: Removable [-2] • 10 points total

• Minor Levinbolt [Damage]: 4, Ranged, Accurate • 9 points
• AE Mage Hand [Move Object]: 2, Perception Ranged, Sustained, Precise, 200 lbs • 1 point
• AE Conjuration [Create]: 3, Continuous, Innate, Precise, Subtle, Proportional • 1 point
• AE Notice Me Not [Concealment]: 10, Passive, Resistible [Will] • 1 point

This grey, somewhat ratty looking, wizard's hat imbues the wearer with the power to cast a few minor magic spells. Though not particularly powerful, these spells can be very useful to a clever wearer.

Complications:
Motivation- Recognition
Famous- Jeremiah is both a publically known superhero and a successful actor.

While more than a few metahumans have tried to turn a career as a hero into a career in acting or music, Jeremiah Christmas actually did things the other way around. Jeremiah was discovered at the age of twelve, and had several successful movies as a child star, before accomplishing the extremely difficult transition to an adult star. At nineteen, he released his first album, a mix of rock and pop that flew up the charts.
Jeremiah Christmas was already a household name at the age of 24, when his life changed. A malfunction in a stunt harness left a female costar hanging more than 400 feet in the air, with no way for anyone to reach her before the harness broke completely and she fell. In what has become one of the most watched videos on the Internet, Jeremiah flew through the air, catching the woman, and revealing his metahuman status, of which even he had been unaware.
Of course, Jeremiah used his new abilities for publicity, that is what celebrities do after all. But he also made a choice. Jeremiah chose to actually be a hero, instead of just playing as one. Though even most other capes do not take him seriously, Jeremiah is as devoted to helping people as he is to his career.

Sylvia Angel is the only child of Johnathan Angel, a notorious hitman who operated in Philadelphia in the 70's. Though her father was not a metahuman, he had worked with a few, so when Sylvia's telekinetic powers began manifesting inher early teens, he was able to connect his daughter with a man known as The Eye, a moderately talented but highly skilled psychic who provided training and guidance to the girl.
Sylvia developed her telekinetic strength and dexterity, and when she was twenty, she began taking jobs, providing muscle for bank robberies and other major heists. Her career is well-known to law enforcement, but her true identity is not known, gicen that she wears a mask, and never works anywhere near her current home in Pittsburgh.

This beautiful, and delicate looking, silver chain was enchanted for Lady Elizabeth Tennant, a talented sorceress and one of Queen Victoria's most trusted agents. It was crafted by her father, Sebastion Tennant, and intended to be worn braided into her hair. The enchantments on the chain work to keep Lady Elizabeth looking her best, protection her from hair and clothing from being soiled or mussed.

Out Of Her Own Time
Disability- PTSD-Induced Flashbacks
Reputation- Excessive Force

Melinda Mason was born in 2062, the daughter of a career soldier and a nurse. She was always intelligent and athletic, and became a computer programmer for a major corporation while only nineteen.

When Melinda was twenty-one, her parents were murdered, and this tragedy drove her into becoming Midnight. Seeking out training in martial arts, acrobatics, stealth and tactics, Melinda also scraped up enough money for a black market bio-mod enhancement, increasing her strength and durability, as well as allowing her to cling to any surface using small implants in her hands and feet.

Midnight quickly gained a reputation for being brutal to criminals, often leaving them hospitalized or crippled. Despite this, she was well-liked by a public that was tired of being oppressed by a criminal class of thugs and mobsters, and Midnight became well-respected in the hero community as well. Then everything went bad.

It started small, with a previously unknown candidate being elected as mayor. This seemed to start a trend, as more and more influential offices were held by what seemed to be decent honest individuals, whose only oddity was that they came from outside the typical political breeding grounds. Many pundits saw this as a good thing, a sign that partisan politics were ending, and real change was coming.

In 2085, a law was passed, allowing insurance companies to avoid paying for repair costs and medical bills caused by the actions of superheroes. Then laws were passed strengthening the restrictions on how legal evidence could be gathered, causing most criminals captured by masked crimefighters to be acquited on technicalities, turning the police and much of the public against the cape community. All across the country, new laws were put into place to make superheroes as ineffective as posible, and to alienate them from the public.

Desparate to turn this tide, the capes began investigating the politicians that were passing these laws, eventually discovering that they were actually longterm deep-cover agents for the mafia and other criminal organizations, seeking to destroy the superheroes. Of course by then, the public did not believe their claims.

Finally in 2088, an order was passed down for all superheroes, crimefighters and vigilantes to be taken into custody, to answer for their "crimes". Many heroes naively surrendered, thinking they could prove their points in court. They wer never heard from again. The rest went underground, trying to find evidence of the conspiracy, and being constantly hunted. Midnight herself spent nearly five years dodging capture teams and hit squads. Then on December 3rd. 2093, while hiding with a powerful mystic called Geomantic, she was found.

Government tactical squads and military power armor units surrounded their safehouse, cutting off any chance of escape. As a last desparate attempt to save someone, Geomantic volunteered to open a pathway across the strands of time, sending Midnight to the past, before everything went to hell. Though his ties to Earth's magical field would not allow him to follow, at least she would be safe from the people they had spent their lives trying to protect.

Melinda arrived in the modern day, in the center of a city park. In the weeks to come, she established a new identity and tried to live a normal life. She discovered however, that the drive that turned her into Midnight still existed. She could not help going out at night, stopping robberies and muggings. Soon Midnight was patrolling the streets again, bringing justice to those that truly deserve it.

Flashbacks To Hell
Innocent Escapee From Hell
Memories of Previous Life Are Unclear

Franklin Maple Jr is not a bad guy, He never really hurt anyone. He remembers that he was a decent guy, though many of his memories of his life before being sent to hell are fuzzy. That is understandable, after all, from his point of view he spent thousands of years down there, though only a few months seem to have passed in the normal world before his escape (and does he ever wish he could remember how he pulled that off).
Still, Franklin knows he did not deserve what he got. That is because one of his clearest memories is the ritual that sent him to hell, and the hooded figure that revealed what was happening, how he was an innocent sacrifice, being used to pay the debts owned by the occultists that had captured him. Franklin is going to find the people that sent him to hell, and he is going to mkae them pay.

Note: I did not build an Array from Hellfire Mastery because I was running out of points, but it is perfect for power stunting anything you could imagine as an effect of having a bit of hell inside you.

Recovering Drug Addict
Famous- Alexander is well known as DJ Flashpoint

Alexander Anderson was already one of the best club DJs on the East Coast when a drug overdose put him into a coma. He woke up three weeks later to be told that he had been glowing as he lay there. Alexander was examined by a local research lab, and they helped him develop control over his new abilities, learning how to create solid light constructs and surround himself with a protective shield of light, as well as create incredible lightshows for his performances.
Alexander decided that this was his second chance to get his life right. Though he did not leave the club scene, he is no longer using drugs, and he spends his off-time putting his new powers to use helping out the local superheores.

[Mister B]

I really like these builds. They are streamlined and very tight on power concept, considering the urge to make them more powerful is very tempting. Your character format is also very well done.

[ursinethemadbear]

Thanks, Mister B, especially about my character format, I worked hard to find a format that was easy for me to use but was also easily readable.
And I often do have the urge to make characters more powerful, but I try to remember that proper use of power stunts can let a fairly streamlined build still compete with a more bloated one.

Here is the rest of my Christmas wish list.

• Sepet Ring: Indestructible [+1], Removable [-9] • 37 points total

• Sustain The Lifeblood
  [Immuity]: 1, Aging • 1 points
  [Regeneration]: 2, Persistent, 1 per 5 rounds • 4 points
• Drain The Lifeblood
  [Affliction]: 8, Cumulative, Extra Condition, Resisted by Fortitude, 1st degree- Fatigued and Impaired, 2nd degree- Disabled and Exhausted, 3rd degree- Incapacitated • 24 points
  [Linked Damage]: 8, Alternate Resistance [Fortitude] • 16 points

This silver ring is topped with the image of a raven, and is of fine quality. The fell magics of this ring leach small amounts of life force from all those around the wielder, healing his injuries and extending his life. When commanded, it can drain a greater amount of life energy from a person it is touched to, though this extra energy is wasted, not benefiting the ring's wearer at all.

• The Folly Of Hermes: Indestructible [+1], Easily Removable [-16] • 25 points total

• Damage: 6, Accurate 2, Affects Insubstantial 2, Improved Critical 4 [16-20], Multiattack 8, Penetrating 8 • 30 points

• Leaping: 3, 60' distance • 3 points
• Speed: 3, 16 mph/ 250' per round • 3 points

The Folly Of Hermes is a beautifully crafted xiphos, or greek short sword. It was crafted by Hephaestus, and blessed with the power of Hermes himself. The only problem is the material it was crafted from. Hermes, being the god of thieves, had the brilliant idea of stealing one of Zeus's lightning bolts and having it forged into a sword. The sword itself is exceptionally well-made and magically powerful, but Zeus was not pleased with the theft. Hermes was harshly punished for his crime, and the sword was thrown out onto the mortal world, to serve whoever found it.

• Tractor Gauntlet: Removable [-1] • 6 points total

• Move Object: 6, Limited Direction [Attraction and Repulsion], 3200 lbs • 6 points
• AE Leaping: 4, 120' distance
  Movement: 1, Swinging • 1 point

This high-tech gauntlet uses a multiphasic plasma generator to power an advanced tractor system, which can be used to pull a target towards or away from the wearer or to propel the wearer into the air and act as a swingline.

• Thunder Amulet: Removable [-8] • 32 points total

• Damage: 6, Reaction [Touched] • 24 points
• Immunity: 12, Critical Hits [Unreliable], Electricity Effects • 11 points
• Protection: 6, Noticeable [Electric Corona] • 5 points

This copper amulet is marked with the hammer of Thor, god of thinder. When activated, it generates a shield of electrical energy around the wearer, both protecting the wearer and shocking anyone or anything that makes contact.

Complications:
Motivation- Doing Good
Identity- Noone is aware that Brandon is a Paragenger.
Family- Brandon's father is Joseph Anderson, Freedom Mountain's chief of police. His mother, Janet, is an ER specialist at Freedom Hospital. His little brother David is twelve years old, and a prodigy with a number of musical instruments, already working towards an audition with the Freedom Mountain Conservatory.

NOTE: Numbers in brackets are in his Paragenger form.

Brandon Anderson has always been one of the best. Being near the top of his class, popular with his classmates, and an amazing athlete, added to his influential parents, his trust fund from his grandparents, and his little brother's growing reputation as a musician, Brandon was naturally considered part of the school's elite. Despite his lofty social position, noone has ever been able to claim that Brandon was anything but a genuinely nice guy.

Of course, Brandon also has high standards to meet, and the stress is considerable. He always decompressed with his music, though he is certainly not a match for his brother, and with his historical recreations, as well as working out with some of his dad's best cops, which has given him a lot of friends in the police department.

Becoming a Paragenger actually relieved some of the pressure he felt. Sure, all of Freedom Mountain is counting on him to protect it now, but at least he knows what he is supposed to be doing. He has a set of goals, and the obstacles tend to be fairly obvious as well. Brandon finds a lot of comfort in that.
