Eld's builds:Thomas Rhymer, Morph Fiend, Low Blow

[Kreuzritter]

Sepulchre's backstory is that he was once Lazarus Arcane, gentleman adventurer, wizard, and agent of the secret good wizards association, before he was driven insane shortly after WW2, and became the worst of the monsters he once fought with.

Complications
Not of this Time The Praetorian's time travel technology has certain limits, and cna be disrupted, sending him and his armies back to their rightful time.
Motivation Praetorian is driven to conquer every era of Earth's past and future.

•Essentially the Kang the Conqueror of the Algernon Files, the Preatorian was bred for war and conquest. A skilled warrior and military genius, he united the tattered remnants of the Earth in his home time, after the discovery of time travel led to interminable wars. He now rules over various periods of Earth's history, and is driven to conquer the 20th and 21st centuries, which so far have been able to resist him.

•Although he's an imposing figure on his own, the Praetorian also has entire worlds of armies to call on, and thus his appearance should serve as more than just a dangerous fight for a powerful group of heroes. While they battle him, the PCs should note his armies defeating conventional military forces, and his Battlespheres and war mechs devestating lesser heroes. Whenever he shows up, it should be a big, big deal, so as to not lessen his threat in the eyes of the heroes. Also, if he is ever defeated, it'll probably just be a robot, or a clone inside the suit of armor.

[HustlerOne]

I'm very impressed that you were able to convert Sepulchre and Praetorian. Its a good thing that you did bring them down to pl 18. It makes these world conquerors more in line with DC power levels like the Spectre or the Monarch.

I can't wait for the Serpent Queen.

[Arthur Eld]

I'm glad you like em.

Yeah, I thought the three big bads of the Algernon Files were a bit too much, at least in comparison to Omega, who's PL 19. I consider him one of the biggest measuring sticks for me, becuase I try to think of the universes as co-existing (mostly due to playing in the Crinoverse), and Omega should be the big bad, at least in my mind.

I originally thought about dropping them all to PL 17, but then I thought that wasn't high enough. Centurion, Divinos, and a lot of other settings Superman types are PL 16, and they needed to be more than one PL above him in order to seem like JLA-level threats.

Serpent Queen is just about done, I just have to get a few of the image files in order.

•The Serpent Queen has been known by a variety of names-Tiamat, Queen of Darkness; Echidna, Mother of Monsters; Apophis, the Nightbringer. Her power was massive, and it took the strength of other gods to imprison her, and Horus, Son of Ra-Ra having been her greatest enemy-was her jailor. It took centuries until she was free, and her power continued to diminish, both from being imprisoned and from her followers vanishing from this Earth. To escape, she took advantage of a brief distraction on Horus' part and escaped the pit-but to do so, she had to leave behind most of her power and take a mortal host. She chose a young woman full of anger, hate and ambition-a soul after the Queen's heart. Thus was the Nightbringer freed to menace the world more, and though she has been seen to be defeated, there are those who dread the fact that she will likely return again.

•The Serpent Queen reminds me of the official Spectre build, if only because they both function as PL 18, but can be more powerful, if necessary. The Serpent Queen needs followers and access to the essence she left in her jail, but if she ever got it, she'd probably balloon up to PL X. Other than that, in her human form, she mostly functions as a PL 14, and has to go Divine Serpent mode (tv Tropers will recognize this as textbook Scaling Up) to meet her PL 18 caps. But when she does, look out. Not only is her Toughness through the roof, but that Cone Area Corrosion is nothing to sneeze at. I didn't liek that she lost some of her powers in Serpent Form, so she gets one rank of Immortality. As an NPC, its mostly a moot point anyway, since she'll come back at the GM's discretion, but I thought it was required. But it does make sense that it takes her longer for her body to pull it back together, since, in my mind anyway, her Serpent Form requires a lot more of her power.

[Thorpacolypse]

Those are some nasty high powered villains there, Eld. Nice stuff.

[Arthur Eld]

Thanks Thorp.

I know you're familiar with the series, so I wanted to ask what you thought of my Afro Samurai builds on the past 2 pages. Your build of Afro helped fine-tune my own ideas.

[Thorpacolypse]

I think they are right on point. It's been a while since I watched the series but I thought you really nailed Justice 'fo 'sho.

Complications
Responsibility As head of Central's Investigation Division, Hughes has a very busy and important job schedule.
Relationship With his wife, daughter, and his closest ally, Mustang.
Quirk Very proud of his family.

•Just wanted to throw together some quick FMA builds, so here's LT. Colonel Hughes, who proves you don't have to be a combat god to be an awesome character. He's got a lot of investigative skill, and still manages to be a decent combatant as well. More than that, he's smart enough to know he needs to be sneaky and retreat when necessary rather than get bogged down in fights with lots of enemies, or powerful foes like Alchemists or chimeras. If he needs more equipment, well, that's part of what his Benefit is for.

[Thorpacolypse]

Nice Maes. I was getting ready to re-work my Elrics myself, so I'll be interested to see how you work the FMA characters.

I'm still mad at that whole series for their treatment of Maes, just so it's noted.

[Arthur Eld]

Ah, well, I thought Hughes was a great character, partly because of his death. The fact that death is so rare in that series is what makes his so poignant-plus its what really kicks the plot into gear. Plus it wasn't like some war movie 'random well developed character gets sniped in the head.' His own investigative skills, plus the intelligence of the bad guys, realistically came together to make his end.

Speaking of dead FMA characters, I think I might stat up Kimblee next. The Elrics will probably be a while in coming, since I already did them in 2E and I'd rather build characters I haven't done before.

[Arthur Eld]

Don't look away from death. Look forward to it. When you kill, face them directly. And don't forget them.

Complications
Honor Kimblee has his own code of honor, twisted as it may be.
Power Loss With a Philospher's Stone, Kimblee need only make a circle with his arms in order to use his alchemy. If he's unable to, he loses access to his powers.

•Kimblee's a pretty simple build, but fairly powerful in the FMA world. His Philospher's stone would also let him add Create and Transformation powers in high ranks to his array, but I don't think he ever actually uses them in the series. He's a smart, talented killer who has neither fear or mercy in his heart. In addition to his rank as a state alchemist, he gets Security Clearance for basically acting as an agent of the Fuhrer for much of the series. I left him undercapped on defense because he's actually out of shape for most of his appearance in teh series, having spent a lot of time in jail and thus being rusty. Given his powers and personality, he can be dropped into pretty much any supers game as either a solo villain or a high-level subordinate for the big bad.

Complications
Weak Pioint Greed's Protection doesn't always cover his entire body, and he loses its effects when attacks strike his unarmored parts.
Power Loss Greed's powers are fueled by a Philosopher's Stone, inside his body. Its a finite power source, meaning hsi Regeneration and Immortality will eventually run out if used too much.
Obsession As his name implies, Greed wants it all. Money, power, women-everything.

•Just a quick Greed build. He's not a complicated character, but he does have a lot going for him, being a Homonculus, he's already nigh-unkillable, but his unique special ability is an almsot indestructible body. Kind of unfair, but he's not too over-powered. He's undercapped on Offense, mainly because he'll go All-out Attack fairly often. Against most foes, his Impervious will protect him and he can dish out enough damage to drop a lot of enemies in fairly short order. Still, as the Homonculus go, he's one of the less powerful ones.

•Pride is a monster even by the standards of the other Homonculus. Powerful and scary as he is in the series, I think I may have actually over-powered him, at least on accuracy. But maybe he just Power Attacks all the time.

•Technically, Pride's true form are the shadows that serve as his primary weapons and reconnaissance powers, but I didn't want to build him that way because it would be A: annoying, and B:unnecessary. I feel this represents how he functioned for most of the series pretty well. He does have an Alex Mercer esque ability to gain some of the traits of those he devours through his shadow mouth's, so you could give him a Limited Variable with the Flaw-cannot reallocate powers once gained, but again, more trouble than its worth. The few powers he does gain (Enhanced Skills-Expertise Alchemy, Acute Scent) are easily handled, although I did through in a Postcognition power.

Complications
Hunted The Time Keepers might be tempted to take action against the Doc if he ever becomes a serious threat to the time stream or if they are otherwise alerted to his presence. Thus, he tends to keep a relatively low profile and doesn't always exhibit his full power.
Soft Spot While his schemes are often opposed by superheroes, the Tick-Tock Doc, seems them more as misguided obstacles than enemies, which can cause problems for him.
Reputation Most people consider the Tick-Tock Doc a weird goofy theme villain, completely unaware of his true nature and powers.

•The Tick-Tock Doc may be my single favorite character from the Freedom's Most Wanted book. He's supposed to be a Dr. Who expy, not that I know much about Dr. Who. But the idea of a time traveling alien who's obsessed with 60s culture is cool, plus I always like characters who are usually much less effective than they could be. I mean, he's a smart, powerful character, at PL 15 and with his various Minions and allies, he could stymie the Freedom League. But most people dismiss him as a theme villain. And what better way to smack down the PCs than with a seemingly goofy character who knows more about science than the team gadgeteer, can out-run the team speedster, and can shut the whole team down at once with time control?
