Vermillion's M&M-Porium (Anansi PBP)

[Vermillion]

Whoops. I suppose it is pretty rude of me to not post a little something more in this thread. I was just in a rush to get some placeholders up.

Well, you know the deal. Just throwing some character builds onto the boards. Much like most of you, it is pretty much a case of imagination gone wild; with a dab of semi-boredom and experimentation with the rules. I already had a thread on here, but I wanted to start a new, more organized one with the release of DC Adventures. I will keep the link up to my old thread, and add some 2E characters I had done recently.

This post will be the table of contents, linking to the different listings.

Well....that is about it. Um....so....you doing okay? Eating right?

For those of you wondering, think of this as fanfiction, Roll Call style. Not wholly original characters, but not total conversions. A bit of both, my twist on other creations.

Honor: Kurt Wagner is a technical pacifist, who will not kill in cold blood. He also will offer forgiveness or assistance to anyone who asks."

Design Notes

I know, not exactly perfect, but it was my first go-round with the new rules, and it was for a test-drive. So I mostly focused on getting the acrobatic and teleporting down. If I could, I would do a bit more to make him more of a scout. So far, he is performing quite admirably.

After using Ski's wonderful Excel sheet, I may have done my math wrong, ending up with an extra PP. Will have to see if the Elf is going to see use beyond this test-drive PBP.

And now I finally finished. This was a horrible week for me gaming, I'll tell you.

Design Notes
This is my closest approximation to Ambrose Chase in 3e. I used a few 2e builds and his entry at writeups.org, to put him together.I used the speedster archetype to get an idea of how Super-Speed should be put together. I think I got it, although without a clear idea how Super-Speed will work in 3E, I am still kinda wary about it.

This is my character for marcosalazarm's Coreline: Firewall PbP Campaign. I will have to hunt down the initial character blurb and add it later.

EDIT: Changed out the picture, for one that matches better. Plus, I am trying to use Alex Wilder in another game. Just....ignore the name and everything.

Thanks to the pointed out errors, as well as looking at pics of Apollo in action, I lowered his Strength and removed Close Attack, and used the extra points to get him some advantages to take of his two favorite tricks: smashing into things and grabbing them and ripping them apart.

My first real attempt at making PL10 playable verisions of insanely powerful characters.

So in the arena of "gay light-based superheroes", DC now has this guy, and Marvel has....Northstar. The guy who makes Scarlet Witch look stable. I'm just sayin'.

Design Notes
My attempt at a PL10 Apollo from the Authority. Compared to Berior's PL10 Superman and PL10 Plutonian (the only ones I have seen so far), I kinda like where he is. He should be a better fighter than the two, although slightly weaker due to the nature of his powers. To eke out the points, I made his Regeneration an DAE of his Stamina. I think this is a pretty good approximation of his healing factor (either he can take the hit, or he has to use some of his solar energy to heal). I debated whether or not to put Fades on all his powers, or just have a Power Loss complication. I felt this way made him a more concise threat this way. besides, I am still not sure how to work his solar absorption in 3E yet. If anyone gets to play him here is my advice: abuse slam attacks. That is how he plays in the comics; he takes up as much solar energy as he can, then rockets through whatever bad guy is there. If anything is left, he pulls out the other tricks. But for real though: slam the ever loving sh@t out of stuff. Please leave comments on the build. By the way, I am saving his husband for last.



A million superhumans with powers comparable to mine? And I get to fight them all on my lonesome? Aw, Jenny's gets me the best gifts.

One of these things is not like the other.... if he indeed has Strength 14 when powered up, and attacks at +8, it would appear he's actually PL11.
