Woodclaw's 2E - Hercules, Iolaus, Xena, Gabrielle

[Bubble Boy]

Nice job on your Wonder Woman. You seem to cover all the bases and came in at PL13. I too used Taliesin's build to help with my own Wonder Woman. I also like how you threw in the invisible jet as well. As I said before, you seem to cover all the angles with the builds you do. I especially like your Batman.

Great work!

I am looking forward to your next build!

[Libra]

Keep up the good work Woodclaw!

here's Jackie. Jack "Shadowman" Boniface was the resident rooftop hoping character of the VH1, he was anightmare to stat out since the comic was never clear about how much of his powers depend on him and how much depends form his voodoo mask

this build respesent Jack after his time travel boost up, but before "Chaos effect" (when his full potential was unlocked), at this point my take is that the power is almost completly inside Jack but haven't mastered it yet, so the mask operates as a crouch to help him controlling it

like my Batman Jack prefers to fight in dark, he operates as a PL7.5 under normal light conditions, when in darkness he reaches his full PL9 combat caps (usually when not in darkness Jack uses improvised weapons to boost his offensive capabilities)

the Loa power is quite flaw ridden, but it was the way it worked in the comic, at sunset Jack become the Shadowman and return normal at dawn, losing all his power

I decided not to include the curse that made him powerless against MAster Darque, since it was so ill defined in his effects that is better handled as a situational effect

the Low-light vision and leaping powers aren't 100% kosher to the comic, but they look appropriate on Jack

I didn't gave him the normal identity drawback since there is no way for Jack to use his powers during the day, as much as he can't step out of his Shadowman persona during night (and Shadowman personality was something Jack really don't like)

given the uncontrolled and unstable nature of his powers Jack tend, more than any other character in the VH1, to display single shot tricks or powers, and his combat skills tend to fluctuate wildly too, so I decided to gave him a couple of ranks of Luck to let him extra effeort more freely

Jack was made into the second Shadowman (the first was Max St.James that I will stat in the future) by a Voodoo coven to get rid of Master Darque, but thanks to Darque machinations he was infected by an alien virus that partially blocked his ability to access his power and also made him more indipendent than the Voodoo's people intended, he quickly developed an obsession to destroy all the "demons that infested his night" as he called drug dealers, assassins and other assorted scum

Wait a minute, wasn't there a video game series based on a character not that far from this fellow? I vaguely remember renting it once then deciding it was more trouble than it was worth. . .

[Woodclaw]

Wait a minute, wasn't there a video game series based on a character not that far from this fellow? I vaguely remember renting it once then deciding it was more trouble than it was worth. . .

Yes and no. After the Acclaim acquired the Valiant comic, they imposed to redesign all the character in amore video-game exploitable way, the Acclaim Shadowman was very loosely upon the same BG as Maxim St.James and Jack Bonifacee(apart from the fact that he was a zombie and had his mask fused with his torso since he thought he was too cool to wear it as a normal human being). The same was done for Turok, whose Video-game incranations have nothing to do with the Gold key and Valiant character.

And, for the records, I WON'T do any Acclaim based build, period.

Maxim St.James, the first Shadowman, was introduced only after Jack Boniface's time travel adventure. Max was a gambler, and a buddy with Aram/Armstrong, in New Orleans around the 1895. After he was almost killed by a amateur magician called Anton Quigley, the Voodoo coven infused him with the loa power, hoping to make him into a loyal servant capable of stopping Master Darque (at the time Quigley's disciple), but they failed. They gave Max too much power and no safety switch and, due to Max character, he quickly became a loose canon

Max is based around the same gimmicks of Jack (PL9 normally, full PL10 in darkness etc.), only he is more powerful, a better fighter (even without his powers he is a PL4 fistfighter/swordman) and have no uncontrolled power troubles

the Darque power was nightmare to simulate, essentially Max is so filled with the dark power that any attack capable of piercing his skin caused him to spontaneously emit a blast of energy against the attacker

since Max appered only sparsely through the serie I have no clue of what other tricks he can pack, sorry

UPDATE: I modified the Darque power effect to be in line with my Xenomorph acid blood construction

another example of how varied the VH1 characters were, Hwen Mirage (nee Hwen Dong Fo) was the least likely individual to became a superhero. Hwen and his wife Carmen were skilled parapsycologist who tracked Master Darque during his attempt to steal the bones of the anciet Geomancer Tashi Kantun, after a brief confrontation Darque killed Hwen and added his soul to his Necromatic power reserve, but through an impossible act of will Hwen managed to free himself, but became a ghost made of necromatic energy

combat-wise Hwen is essentially al PL0 bystander gifted with various powers based around the manipulation of his own necromatic energy body, since all these powers are based upon his will rather than skill, they all operates as General Area or Perception Range powers

the Darque power array is by no mean complete, like many others magically powered character Hwen exibited a large number of power stunts (like slashing Doctor Eclipse arm by interferring with his energy field). The telekynetic burst variable descriptor simulate Hwen telekinetic attack, these rarely inflict damage by themselves, but project surrounding objects as shrapnel giving it some intersting descriptors (food or clothes for example)


After doing master Darque I revisioned my Dr. Mirage build, I decided to make him a true ghost, removing the CON score and making the Darque power his life support, if it is fully depleted Hwen is gone for good

Well, Doc was quite a nightmare to put together, and he won't be the worst both Darque and Harada (the only two major recurring villains of the VH1) will probably be a lot more complicated.

my first Generationverse villain, Loki is one of the world greatest spies a true chamleon capable of blending in any enviroment

under normal circumstances Loki is undercapped both on the offensive and defensive side (he is just PL5), this gave him room to use his Nanite infused skin or an heavier armor along with some heavy equipment (he can use any weapon up to +9 damage)

since Danish, Swedish and Norvegian form a continuum of mutually intelligible dialects and sociolects, I consider that native speaker of one of these languages already has the "poor" level of the othershence the reduced number of languages

the One-way transformation drawback represent the fact that Loki must overcharge his own Nanomachines system to generate the protective layer of nanites (which makes his skin silverish), after the protective effect is over it took him a hour at least to reboot the system

considering how potentially varied are his assignements I left his equipment almost completly undefined, usually these points are spent in temporary HQ or vehicles

Sigyn is Loki long time partner in crime and, more recently, wife. She acts as a one woman support team organizing her husband works, escape routes and hacking informations for him. She is PL5 only by virtue of her skill ranks

NOTE: since Kenya has two official languages Sigyn has a double native language

Background

Full name: Eric Jorstad
Citizenship: Norvegian citizen wanted for murder, espionage and theft
Birth: May 1st 1973, Norway
Profession: freelance spy (former agent of the Norvegian Secret Service and of NATO I.S.R.)
Active as villain: 1996 - present

Personality

Pinpointing Eric true personality is extremly difficult, a skilled impersonator he can change personality as fast as he can change face thanks to his Nanite induced powers. Quite possibly only Sigyn has ever seen a glimpse of his real self.

Genetic factor

The Jorstad family have a knack for languages since 1600, but only with Eric that ability reached his apex.

Generations factor

The Nanomorphic compound was originally developed by Masquerade the last heir of a long dynasty of European spies.

Origin

Contrary to certain tales that cirtculated among the Intelligence agencies around the world, Loki background is fairly ordinary, born in a middle class family after the high school he started studying foreign languages at university, thanks to his ability he was noticed by the Norvegian Secret Service, who hastily recruited him. At first he was used just as a sort of commodity, a genius linguist capable of translating in real time every conversation, but after a while they started deploying him in on the field and, much to everyone surprise, he perfomed quite well. For a couple of years everything was fine until a fated NATO mission in Kenya. Eric was sent here to interrogate some captured prisoneers, that couldn't be moved for security reasons. Even before he reached the compound everything went bad and he was forced to escape along with the mission techie, a woman called Kanika Nyariki. It took them months to uncover a lead about what really happened, and they discovered that someone very high in the NATO command considered Eric too much of risk for security and decided to eliminate him by aranging a "working accident". Crushed by the revelation Eric planned his revenge, it took years and, in the end, it didn't gave him much pleasure. But gave him two big advantages: a good network of connections and the possession of the Nanomorphic compound, a special nanomachine network developed by Masquerade, a half-legendary figure in the world of spies, which he stole shortly before approaching his final goal. He also discovered that he liked working as a freelancer, the "no string attached" rules really appealed him, so he decided to continue and Kanika followed him. What started as a strictly working relationship slowly transformed in something more, and they married in summer 2007. Nowadays Eric and Kanika work for the best contractor, they had no qualms about the target (industries, govermental agencies, private archives), their prefered theaters of operation are Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, which frequently bring them into conflict with one member of Euroforce or another, Valkyrja and Morrighan harbor a special hate for the couple since they tried to steal their armors' blueprints in multiple occasions, but their true nemesis is still Masquerade.

I can't believe it, I was able to squeeze the Man of Steel in a PL12 without, as far as I can see, sacrificing any of his key traits. To be honest I'm just a dwarf standing on the shoulder of giants, this build is supposed to be the DCAU version of Supes, which was already a lot less powerful than his comic counterpart, at the same time I have to thank Taliesin for his extra Super-strength feats and Jab for his DCAU Batman build that helped me estimating the right PL

as I said this Supes is considerably less powerful than usual, but considering the famous cardboard speech I decided to give him a significative Holding back drawback, those rare times he went full power Supes is boosted up to PL16

I decided to gave him a little different skill selection, his technical/technological skills are lower than usual (he relies on prof. Hamilton and the S.T.A.R. Labs for technical matters) but I gave him some investigative skill, while he is no Batman, Clark Kent is still a top level reporter. For similar easons I made him slightly stronger and tougher than usual in his base form, Clark is quite big and since his powers didn't fully manifested until he was in his late teens/early 20s I guess his combat bonuses can be kept as part of his base skills

the Enhanced Brain Process is not 100% kosher with the Dini/Timm version of the character, but I guess it doesn't hurt considering he was apparently able to speak with the majority of the aliens he met and to simulate his various one-time tricks

Supes invulnerability fluctuated wildy between his solo and JLU incarnation, at first he showed some minor vulnerability to high powered convetional weapons (artillery shell, AP machine guns etc.), later he seemed invulnerable to everything. I decided to use the first version making him impervious to standard personal weapons, but vulnerable to high powered ones

his maximum speed was quite a nightmare to stat out, I didn't want him to be on par with Flash, but at the same time there was the "Speed demons" race event. In the end I found a way thanks to the system, considering Supes CON score and Fortitude save he can move all-out longer than Flash (who should have a more human level CON score) so during the race Supes was running all-out but flash was only moving at accelerated speed to avoid taxing himself before the finish

the super-speed power had been reduced to a simple Quickness+Speed effect

about the time for the Kryptonite poisoning to kill Supes, keep in mind that during "World's finest" Batman had enough time to arrive at the factory, fight his way through a couple of Joker's thugs and find a tank of acid, so I guess that the usual -1 per round really didn't works here

UPDATE: I reworked some of the detail of the build, now Supes is perifericaly vulnerable to Poison and disease, even if with his massive Fortutude save this shouldn't be too much of a problem, same goes for the Suffocation which gives Supes about 8 minutes of air (16 if preparred) before starting to make saving throws, and about another 3 minutes before the saves went beyond the 50% chance. The immunity to starvation was stated in the great episode "The Late Mr. Kent", Supes only eat out of habit. I didn't gave him the longevity feature since it cost the same as Immunity to aging and have a lesser effect, so I consider his slow aging a simple in built feature of the Kryptonian race.

Just a little reworking on my Supes build.

that was hard, really hard. Darque (or Master Darque as he preferes to be called) was a nightmare to stat out, his powers have fluctuated wildly, even more wildly than any other necromatic power user in the VH1. This build represent a generic Darque before the Chaos Effect (when he and his sister Sandria acquired God-level powers), but since his powers depends on how much Necromantic energy he possess his PL can fluctuate according to the GM needs

in the VH1 it was never stated what exactlky the Necromatic energy (also known as Darque power) was, except that it only came from the death of a sentient, intelligent being, the only other clue was that it wasn't based upon the strength of one's body but rather on the strength of his soul, so I went for a Will based drain

as usual his array of necromatic powers only represent his most common tricks, he displayed some more (like the ability curse Jack Boniface) on an occasional basis

the "Word that kills" power is absolutly not coherent with the rules, since a disease power can't have a Will save, but that was the only way I found to simulate it

thanks to his Necromacer senses Darque is able to use his trasnfer on any person that he kills directly or indirectly

the "Book of Darque" are the tattoos on his and Sandria's body, they change along with their powers, in the comics they didn't have a clear defensive function, but since it was stated somewhere that they where painful to look upon, so I guess it didn't hurt. Otherwise he can project them as an incorporeal minion to do his dirty work

Darque is an albino, so skin contact is highly painful for him, for this reason he never engage in physical combat usually shileding himself behind walls of minions, both fanatics, criminals or zombie that he creates from the corpses of his former allies or victims (and since these Zombies seem to conserve some trace of their former abilities I decided to make them really big in terms of PP, up to 90 each)

Darque is extremly old (at least 300 years) and rich, he possess a vast network of connections and followers all over the world, but the nexus of his every scheme is New Orleans and the bayou where he owns and house along with his sister

nice Master Darque. thanks for stating him up. i knew he would be a very difficult character to do up. interesting way of simulating his powers too. with ideas that never would have occured to me.

Thank you. The worst thing is that stating poorly defined characters is not over yet, Sandria is only half-done (she will probably be somewhere between her brther and Dr. Mirage) and then there is still Harada...

Complications: Hatred (Darque), Responsibility (Darque conscience)

speaking of strange sibling relationships, Sandria is the twin sister of Master Darque and like him she is a skilled necromancer (which in the VH1 is almost equivalent to magician, the Geomancers and alchemists were the only not necromatic fuelled magicians)

at the present Sandria is a necromatic energy ghost (like Dr. Mirage), her brother made her so after she was almost killed by his mentor Anton Quigley. This wasn't an act of brotherly love, since the twins are linked if one dies the other can't survive (matter of fact Darque never show affection to anyone)

the true extension of her necromatic abilities are poorly defined, she never enters in actual combat and usually remains in the background of any situation plotting so I gave her the less offensive stunts out of Darque's and Mirage's arrays. Since she isn't obsessed with power like her brother, and a lot more wordly, I tweaked her skills to represent this

the Stolen Geomancy is an effect of her soul link, but being the most farsighted of the two, I gave her the unique ability to invoke visions of the future, while Darque is limited to uncontrolled flashes of precognition

like her brother Sandria's body is covered with mystical tattoos (the so-called Book of Darque), but she never displayed the ability to use them as a power proxy minion, also since hers are less prominent I made the Shield power a little weaker

Sandria is capable of powering other necromatic energy's users acting as a living battery, unfortunatly, due to her Soul link, she can't prevent her brother form (ab)using her as a battery for his own powers

after Chaos Effect the link between the twins was broken and both was invested with God-like powers, Darque didn't survived, while Sandria did
