JD's 3E: Marvel Psylocke

[Thorpacolypse]

If I am thinking about the rules right, which is always questionable, since they are linked, once you hit with the tough range variable attack, the affliction comes into play. You don't have to attack twice for that so you're good there.

For the power theft, you are probably better off just giving her 3 ranks of Close Attack for the same cost as the separate ranks for the grab and unarmed. Just makes things simpler, really, and if for some reason she ends up in sword fight, you could give her a complication or something if you didn't want her to +7 in close along the board for everything. I also don't think you need to have it grab-based and be a reaction. To me, that would require a grab attack whenever someone touched her, and while it's conceivable mechanically, it doesn't feel like something you'd really want to do in a game.

I would also consider changing the 3rd rank of the Affliction to incapacitated. I know she put her first boyfriend and Carol into comas with her powers, which technically is putting them to sleep, but they were flat wiped out, which to me is incapacitation. But it's your call on that. Just my 4 cents. You get twice my two cents because I am all about value.

I took your advice, and your right, Incapacitated as is, without the sleep works much better. And I wasn't sure if Reaction though accurate, would be correct. So both powers go off at the same time? regardless of action? That's the only thing I was really concerned about.

I'm not changing my original build just yet, here's what I got so far. Great part is, this puts her back in costs for PL 8

This modified build looks good. I was worried about her strength, but then I saw the superstrength in her Powers, so all is good there.

Personally, I would have given her a bigger Variable package to play with, but since you are going for a PC build with matching PL and points, this works out.

The only thing I would change would be to add some more Complications: "Relationship" with her mother-figure of Mystique. "Infamy" for being a former villain (she fought the AVENGERS! back in the day).

Plus, maybe something for being constantly hounded by that d-bag, Gambit... but I have a whole rant for that situation...

Well I personally don't know many of the backgrounds and stories about these characters. But I can add them.

Background Details:
Sheila Jacobs appears to most as a discrete socialite. If an event is important enough, she's there. Indeed, she is a brand into herself, marking any event in which she makes an appearance with an extra layer of pride to the host. No one's quite sure how long she's been around or what she does for a living. Paparazzi never seem to get a hold of her and none of the other members of society's creme-de-la-creme dare ask.

Truth is, Sheila Jacobs has been around for a long, long time. She was born 3681 years ago on the island of Crete, in the ancient city of Knossos during the height of the Minoan culture. Amphissa was the daughter of a Merchant King, and a beautiful Atlantian woman named Sybilla . She lived the good life of a merchant king's daughter but the appearance of her incredible powers in early adolescence singled her out for great things.

Endowed with virtual immortality and immense Psionic powers, it took little effort to expand her father’s business into a success, within Egypt, Crete, Syria, Greece, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia. She eventually took over the operations of her father’s business after his untimely demise. Exporting copper, tin, and other valuable commodities through out the ancient world. She quickly became revered as the Goddess of Commerce in Crete.

However, time is not kind. Civilizations rise and fall and even a powerful mutant like herself saw the world around her collapse. Egypt, and the fall of her own country of Crete as well. She was in her forties, when her beloved Crete was destroyed in what would become a famous volcanic explosion. She traveled the world, getting to know just how grand and expansive her world really was. She dined in Rome and rode across the Russia’s, camped in Persian sands and feasted in Indian temples.

Always looking for signs of her kind, other’s special just like her. She spent a great amount of time in Russia and Europe during her travels, but eventually settled in Greece. She battled the likes of great men during the ages, included the machinations of Grigory Rasputin (A servant of the Adverse, and yes he‘s very much still alive) as Sophia Turla. She saw the silk empire and the land of the setting sun, and she passed the calumet amid native American tribes, all before renaissance was even upon clumsy Europe. She was there when the world was known to be round and she was there when gravity was found. She was also there when the Mayflower reached the shores of the Americas.

Long-lived and patient, Sheila Jacobs has had a thousand names and a thousand crafts and now she lives in the city of the Future, Millennium. Silently sitting upon her wealth and presence, silently guiding humanity. And subverting the agendas of the Adverse. Many don’t know the Truth, the secret battle that wages on the prime material plane. Should evil win, the adverse may be able to enter this realm once more. And be able to create and control a force, that could wipe out the Verdani once and for all. She mingles with super hero’s of all kinds, and most people know she is a powerful Meta-human. They just don’t know the extent of her influence, or the long past that she has.

Sheila Jacobs has her fingers in business everywhere, she even has her own perfume company. She often visits Club M, keeping an appearance there. Just so the meta human community knows where she is, and is still around. It’s a place where even the normal, can mingle and mix with those that have powers. Meanwhile she has been searching for an ancient Verdant artifact that may be on earth, or somewhere in the solar system known as the Verdant Shard. A large crystalline sphere, that can channel the cosmic power of the Verdani. Should it fall into the wrong hands, it could spell earth’s doom. What history she has given away, is that she is the second to hold her heroic title. But little do they know that she was also the first, as Sophia Turla.

Builders Notes:
Here is my version of Rogue, for my Marvel Redux setting. I tried very hard to fit her in a PL 8 frame work, but decided as far as raw power went, I decided to make her a special case, just because I am not that skilled , in wanting to skimp on her abilities. Now I decided a few things, she's not as tough as say Collosus, she's not much of a fighter either at this stage in her history. A recent addition to the X-Men, to learn how to control her powers. But with her, she wants to just be normal again. To be able to touch someone, this makes her vulnerable to manipulation at the same time. It's up to the game master to decided If rogue should be allowed as a player character, simply because of her rp challenges, and her very powerful "power set" .

It was an incredible challenge, to simulate her Power Absorption abilities. Which lets her assume the powers, memories, skills, and certain advantages, of the target in question. I made her affliction a reaction based ability, while the Variable has its usual standard action, since that is the part the requires an active purpose to use. The only thing I haven't been able to console about this, is since its a close action and requires a grab.. Am I using "Grab" as my to hit roll, or do I need to make a hit roll with the affliction. And If so does that mean I need to make the affliction, a close area effect? Opinions?

Background:
David Foreman suffers from a unique combination of genetic defects that creates the characters unique physiology, which includes Nuerofibromatosis, and exostosis. He was treated as a monster even while growing up, and his time in schools was limited. His mother did the best she could giving him an education at home, but david's growing attitude and resentfulness filled him with hatred against the normals. The doctors couldn't help, and when he reached the age of sixteen he ran away from home. Naturally he mixed in with streetlife and became the "muscle" for a local street gang, and his life in crime began. In the end Bone , is a monstrous seven feet tall with the a boney carapace for an exterior. His back is slightly bent to his right, legs slightly shortened, and a broad chest. He became well known for being a Monster when it come to dealing out payback, and his virtual imperviousness makes him immune to small arms fire. He is a very sensitive person though and takes every slight against him the wrong way, especially his looks. However it wasn't until he met another mutant with an almost opposite in genetic defects, that he became the notorious criminal he is today. Bone and Sinew make a gruesome but effective team.

Builder's Notes:
Here is my latest addition to the Millennium Verse, and yes its been quite some time since i have done much with my thread. But I'll get around to his team mate, Sinew as soon as possible.Originally this character was a villain in my Marvel campaigns i ran with the MSHRPG Advanced system, so now I can put him back on my marvel stuff.

Background Notes
Simon was a bright young man with a great future, but he was always getting into trouble. He was a practical joker and mischief maker. Which eventually turned into a dangerous cruel streak as he grew into adulthood. It wasn't long before he had a criminal record. It wasn't until an accident that almost cost him his life.. A tragic car accident caused with a run -in with a chemical waste tanker, caused acid to spill over him. It was a miracle he had even survived, because all his skin was scortched away from his muscular system. And it reacted strangley with his mutant physiology, causing his powers to surface in gruesome reflection of hihis acciden. His identity was lost, his appearance destoryed. No one could look at him without getting sick, and in a fit of psychopathic rage and insanity he lashed out at the hospital who was trying to save him. And he dissapeared into the streets of las Vegas. It was then Sinew was born, and Las Vegas was his playground. No one has ever seen a more gruesome villain, and psycophatic killer. Having teamed up with Bone, they make a vicious two man team that threatens the safety of Sin City.

Builders Notes
Well here is , the other side of Bone & Sinew. This guy is gruesome to say the least, and i just love it! He often wears a hoodie and jacket, with a pair of loose pants tied about his waist. However when he decides to go into battle, he pulls off his hood. And when he really gets into it he forgoes the clothes anyway, revealing his grotesque body which is a mass of sinew and muscle mass. His mutation has replaced his bone, with more dense tissue to simulate his frame.

These are all the weapons I could find through different source books so I thought I would put them together. Though the Area (burst)s and Nuclear Hardware are my own research and design, they may not be completely accurate. But I think they might come close.

Builders Notes:
Ruby is constantly surrounded by two orbs of red energy, which she refers to as Chimera. She can increase the number of orbs, make them spin faster, or slower. And is the source of most of her power effects for the most part. Her skin is an unreal pink color, with dark red hair. Her eyes are red, and surrounded by a glowing black aura. Ruby is an exercise in trying to break from my usual female villain molds to create something new and unique. Thus Ruby was born. It helped that second life, helped me create the image I use for the character. Personally I think she would make a great Aberrant character as well. I am so in an aberrant kick now, lol .

Complications
Fame: Raoul is the face man for the Teragen movement, and is very popular. He is also a prince, if I remember right.
Reputation: Raoul is part of the infamous Teragen organization.

Languages

Defense
Dodge 7, Parry 7, Fortitude 11, Toughness 7, Will 11

Power Points
Abilities 88 + Powers 56 + Advantages 31 + Skills 20 (59 ranks) + Defenses 12 = 207


Background:
Raoul fancies himself an accomplished intrigeur, which he unquestionably is. At the Amp Room, he sits at his private table with his back to the wall in an alcove where the lights are lowest. He watches the dance floor, and chats with Friends, allies, contacts, and informants, like a prince granting audiences. His charm in Insidious and people have walked away from his table and down some of the most remarkable and shocking things at his gracious request. Both the Directive and Utopia, consider Orzaiz a major target should they be forced to declare war on the Teragen. As it stands his visibility and extreme populatiry would render him an instant martyr, and with all the anti-Utopia sentiment going around lately, its better to put up with him, for now.

Builders Notes:
The 3E version of my build, changes slightly. I sat down to modify his ability scores slightly, mainly with his strength. I decided to put all his social advantages in with his Mega Charisma, it seemed appropriate to me. Then I gave him a crushing blow technique, to fit his not only his Savante marital arts style; Because I remember something about Orzaiz being able to wreck cars. The Voice, is your basic mind controller power. While Natural Agitator, is my version of 2E's Mental Transformation.

[Thorpacolypse]

Great stuff, JD. I love Orzaiz's Natural Agitator...if I ever stat up my youngest kid, THAT will be his signature power.
