==========================================

And their they are. The Zodiac Crew. This is a rough sketch version of them thrown together to enable a GM to go to town with them easilly.

As a group it should be noted that they could probably hold their own nicely for a few rounds with most super teams. However their just comon generic thugs and without the suits there minions with all the fun that entails.

They support each other pretty well and tend to stick together when out of prison. That being said however they are pretty faceless for a reason, that being that a gm can replace them easilly if they are killed, or all in jail and you want to run another adventure with the Astrologer and his crew.

Group wise Taurus tends to run things as the overall leader. Libra and Gemini as seconds in command. The Astrologer of course runs the entire thing. but they are capable of running solo if needed. And Libra is capable of maintianing their gear. but not neccesarilly improving it.

The Zodiac crew obviously see most of their adventures as flukies for the Astrologer. they can also be used as a solo gang all on their own. (theyd make great batman, spider man rogues)

And of course any number of master villians can use them as hired muscle.

Their primary crimes are money influenced. They work for people for money and dont care about politics as a group. individuals may differ but as a whole their in it for the cash.

Group tactics well geenrlaly include sending Aries, Pisces, and Leo at the foe directly. Sagitarius well take up a covered ranged position and snipe away at targets of opportunity. Scorpio, and Capricorn well try and out flank and out manuver a foe. Gemini, Aquarius, well blast away from jsut outside melee in support of the close fighters. Libra and Virgo well use a combination of Illusions, and nausea to take out anyone left standing. Taurus well direct the action and intercede as needed either in melee or ranged.

Overall for a bunch of generic thugs they tend to work together pretty well as a group. but if separated they can be beaten fairly easilly.

So First up is Ninja Tiger. A tough Martial Arts master with the speed, grace and power of his namesake. He's a versatile and strong fighter that can handle nuemrous opponents quite nicely.

I designed him using the Totem archetype form Instant heroes, and mixed in some martial manuevers of my own design. Hes primarily a Tiger style fighter (agressive and straight forward) but hes capable of using several other styles hes learned.

I also drew some inspiration from one fo my Favorite PS2 games. Tai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger. Tai is very much base dof Tai from that game as are many of his special moves and styles.

Of particular note is his chi Powered array. This is a variable structure of 20pp That can be reconfigured as a standard action, With a DC 15 concentration check. Each use of the powers draws from his CHi energy reserve. I used the Energy bar rules from the Masterminds manual.

This means he has a bar of chi energy = to his Con times 10. He can get 20 chi per aditional pwoer point he spends as he gets experince. HE recovers His con score in chi every minute.

Within his Chi Power. I listed a series of styles and powers he's likely to use on a regular basis.

HEs built as a standard starting character and shoudl be perfectly legal for the GM. Just add background as neccesary

And Here is Still Waters. The concept of Water and the Ocean. HE retains an extraordinary amount of his watery abilities, as well as the abiliy to change into a Watery form.

Based off the Water Elemental in Instant heroes with my own tricks thrown in to represent his incredible control over water.

Of special note is his control of water and his own form enable him to have massive strength. He can pump his strength up to 30 (+10 bonus) and by limiting his flexibility he can gain super strength 7 (+35 for lifting). This ends up with him being a total of 65 strength for lifting purposes (heavy load 100 tons)

He's an aboslute terror in a grapple too. massive strength combined with elongation and the abilitiy to drown someone at range *Shudders*

Lastly he is vulnerable to fire attacks, and extreme cold can damage his water form or freeze him in place. this is to represent the Elemental balance between fire and water.

Another personal Favorite here. The Scorpion ole Mac Gargan. One of Spideys Deadliest and capable foes. Spideys never had an easy time facing this guy. And the one time he did Gargan wasnt in his scorpion suit.

This version reprents my ideal scorpion. His abilities have gotten a boost from genetic recombination to stabilize his scorpion genetic structure. He's stronger and a tad faster then before. HE also fights more like a scorpion.

His scorpion suits gotten a major upgrade too. Courtesy of Norman Osbourne of course. the tails still brutal but now adds several new options, as well as clawed gauntlets that add the same weapons. So no more targeting the tail only on him. Spidey now has to contend with the entire suit. hes still a bit of a one trick poney but its a really nasty trick.

Borrowed a couple of tricks from my previous zodiac and mosquito builds for the scorpion suits weapons as well as his scorpion crush.

Edit to clean up and pair him down a notch.

Background and History

Daniel Reagan was the son of a blue collar former soldier and his OSS wife. All in all a typical upbringing in small town texas (captain of the football team, popular etc) lead him to enlist in the military in order to serve his country. Excelling in Basic and AIT he was quickly recruited in the field by a Top Secret Black-Ops group code named Dark Star.

Dark Star's goals were to combat the active Russian presence in several small countries with vital US interests, as well as other terrorist threats the world could only dream of. Skilled and courageous. Danny Was more then ready, and earned several commendations. Dannie's superiors quickly volunteered him for a special project codenamed "Red Lightning". An attempt to create a new Super Soldier with a device discovered in the Wreckage of an alien ship. Several test candidates including Danny were exposed to the devices energies. All of them died painfully.

Only Danny Woke up in the morgue and accidently flash fried the coroner with a surge of crimson clectricity. Confused and scared Danny none the less, was Quickly trained in the use of his powers and sent off on the first of several assignments as a Super Soldier. Danny would end up leaving Dark Star soon after under unknown circumstances (He's not talking and Dark Star's government funding has been cut alltogether).

On his return to his home town he found his parents had both passed on in his absence and his town was smaller then before. Moving to (Campaign City) he tried to live a normal life. But the decay and violence all around him were too much to ignore. So when a dozen thugs tried to make an example of him for standing up to the local protection outfit. Danny was thrilled. He promptly thrashed everyone of them leaving them all in the hospital. Not one to leave a job unfinished Danny contacted a freind who dealt in special hardware. Getting a costume and some weapons Danny christend himself "Red Lighting" and then promptly proceeded to decimate the Mob boss's operations city wide in a week long string of devestation. That ended with the crimeboss hanging upside down in front of the police station and enough evidence that even the most corrupt cops would be unable to ignore it. Now he hunts the bad guys from the shadows. delivering a special brand of justice like lightning.

Recently A Firey redheaded Irish detecive Moira Flannigan, was assigned to hunt him down by her corrupt superiors. Intitially successful she tracked him to a warehouse where he'd just busted up a white slavery ring. After seeing his work she helped him clean up the ring. He then saved her life when a few corrupt cops shot her for interfereing in their private enterprise. Since then they've developed a friendly and somewhat romantic relationship. Shes currently been promoted to lieutenant.(a move her corrupt superiors hoped would get her lost behind a desk but it hasnt worked its only made her more visible) Where she oversees the crime ridden district of (insert district here).

Personality & Motivation

A small town boy who learned the hard way that the world is a lot bigger then the town limits. Once a friendly gregarious soul, he's become hardened and a bit cynical by his experiences. Still he tends to maintain a good attitude, and can be open and warm with friends he trusts (very few of those) He's also very much taken with the firey Redheaded Irish detective who's been assigned to his case, they regularly share information with each other and back each other up. He's allready saved her life twice from corrupt cops she's put away or testified against as well as at least one super powered mob assassin.

Towards criminals and scum he takes a decidedly different approach. He's all business, using whatever means are needed to get the job done. While he's not sadistic, he well do whatever is needed including torture, and breaking bones, and killing if needed.

Powers & Tactics

Dannys Powers were gained from the energy flux created in his body by the Alien device. The energy caused his body to metastisize it into bio electriciy on an unprecedented scale.

He can use this energy in several ways. First it enhances his natural athleticism to near perfect levels. He can take this a step further and surge it causing a jump to superhuman levels of athletic performance. Second he can channel the energies into bullets in a firearm. Quadrupling the weapons offencive potential. Thirdly he can charge his fists and feet with energy resulting in bone crushing hits that disrupt the nervous systems of living things as well as mechanical systems. Lastly by focusing his energy he can channel it into a single destructive blast of red lighting that can devestate anything in its path.

He combines this power with his extensive military training. Hes a natural expert with firearms, martial arts, and knives, as well as several other skills that help him in crime fighting.

In a fight Danny well generally tend to boost his physical abilites then stay mobile while using his lightning bullets to take targets out of the fight. He's a stricitly no frills do what it takes to win and survive kind of guy.

Appearance

A tall athletic and ruggedly handsome 6' 2" 210 lbs (think Matthew Mcconaghey in Sahara) Young man of Caucasian descent with blond hair and blue eyes that now occasionaly glow a bright red. he smetimes wears sunglasses to hide his eye color normally. His body crackles with a field of red lighting when he surges. and his lighting bullets spark with bursts of lighting when they strike a target.

His costume is a black bodysuit with red pads and trim and black belt and utility straps and pouches. He wears a full face mask to conceal his identity leaving only his hair exposed and his eyes. Red gloves and boots, and a long black trench coat. A stylized red lighting design on the body suits chest finish the suit.

Hes armed with an assortment of weapons including a pair of heavy pistols, and some combat knives, shuriken and throwning blades, and other tools. He drives a souped up "Red Lighting" motorcycle.

Campain uses & notes

Red Lighting works best as a street lvl vigilante hunting down thugs and scum whereever they hide. he'd desigend primarily for Iron Age settings. But could easilly be toned down slightly for Silver Aged as needed. He'll fit right into any campaign though with very little effort. Of importance is his relationship with Lt Moira. This is probably the one thing that has kept him off the slippery slope between heroism and vigilantism. If something were to happen to her he'd rapidly become a lethal purveyor of vengance. Almost as bad as the punisher in some cases worse.

My first take at an Iron Age style character. He's pretty skilled and should hold his own nicely in the setting. he fits ok as a solo or with a team packing a serious ranged punch and nice in close skills as needed.

[Libra]

Ha! I looked at Tai Fu and thought for a mad minute that you'd statted Tony the Tiger.

Keep up the good work Catsi.

Acharacters whos definately come a long way. Rahne Sinclair (pronounced Rain) Wolfsbane is now a full fledge young woman, and serious Arse kicker. Our little Highland Wolf has grown up and has made her place in the world despite a past of traumas that would make peter parker curl up in a web ball.

Shes designed as A full fledged scrapper. with three modes.

Human Form is pretty straight forward. Shes tough and a skilled fighter, She has heightened sences and even has a healing factor. Not on a par with Wolverine but enough to hang in a fight going badly.

Wolf Form is her tracking form. It sences are incredibly keen even keener then in human form. Its also her fastest mode of transportation, and has incredible stamina. She cannot speak and has only wolf paws in this form.

Werewolf form: Her combat form is strong fast and nasty. She can and well draw blood in this form and has done so on a number of occassions (just ask feral and wolvie). She can also speak and use her hands in this form.

Lastly these are her iconic and traditional forms. But their does seem to indicate soem ability to have additonaly transitional forms. For example her Werewolf form is a semi Chrinos form (wolfman) but it seems to change (Depending on artist) to more or even less human looking shapes. This could mean some variations in her shapeshifting along the lines of WODs Garou (including a more furry humanoid form, and a large Dire wolf form)

Edit: 1/2/08 Paired her down a bit. I love Rahne but she was a little overpriced their. Put her Werewolf form and wolf forms in a container per Johsuas suggestion and paired down her skills a bit.

Also added a vulnerability to Dazzle attacks since shes shone at least once in the comics complaining about her doggy ears ringing in human form.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Wow, thats a pretty expensive character. I didn't think she'd be that costly. Wouldn't it be more cost efficient to create a container for the more costly form, then AP the second form? Just a thought.

You would end up with a
Mutant Lycanthrope Container 11 [AP: Wolf Form (second conatiner)] This could save you about 21 power points this way.

Otherwise this character is one heck of a combat machine by the looks of things.
