Complications
Motivation- Justice: Danny is driven by a need to protect the innocent. He failed once before and he isn't going to fail again.
Relationship: Danny has lived with his Mom for all of his life, with her taking care of him. After her injury, now Danny needs to help take care of her.
Secret: Danny is keeping his identity a secret for his Mom's safety. Also, his past life as an unber-nerd is not something he is extremely proud of right now.

Background
Danny was a typical "live in your Mother's basement" computer nerd. In fact, it never even occurred to him that he had a special ability, until a chance meeting with Ethan Kellar. Ethan watched Danny make an impossible shot with a can of corn to take out a mugger. When he suggested Danny had some real talent, Danny shrugged it off as nothing. Ethan gave Danny his card saying, "People have done more with less."

Unfortunately, the mugger he stopped was a higher up in a local street gang, and he wasn't to happy about being stopped by a nerd using a can of corn. He sent some boys to deal with Danny, only to get his Mom instead. Danny was furious that he couldn't protect his Mom, who was now paralyzed from the waist down.

Finding Ethan's card, he sought out the man. Ethan wasn't really interested in helping Danny get killed while seeking revenge, so he sent him away. When that didn't work, he started to run him through some "tests" designed to demoralize him and send him home to his Mom. That didn't work either, and after one such test Ethan realized it wasn't about revenge for Danny, it was about not letting the same thing happen to anyone else.

So he sent Danny for some intense training with several teachers, including Master Lee. When they said he was ready, Ethan trained him with the bow. Now months later, Danny is ready to make his debut as the new Archer.

Note: I reworked Danny as a PL10 character to be ported into T-Man's Force OPS. I dropped the Range Perception (at BadPenny's recommendation) for many reasons, not least of which is the bow had to be insanely nasty to hit PL caps. As Badpenny pointed out, if he spends a round aiming and uses Ultimate Aim and All Out Attack, that is a 44 which should hit almost anything, so he stays pretty true to character. I split the bow from the arrows to achieve the convoluted effect of being able to use the arrows as weapons even if he is disarmed. Now the bow just adds Increased Range to the Arrows attacks.

Unlike the Paragons version, this Danny is chosen to be a legacy Archer by Ethan Kellar. He gets sent through some intense training, and I could only figure some personal tragedy would inspire him to stick with it and not take the easy way out (gadgets or powersuit). He is still a bit of an uber-nerd, but he is angry for not being there for his Mom and now she has to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Here is the original paragons version:

Background: Danny was a six year sophmore working his way towards being a professional student. Danny is the baby, so she lets him get away with things the older kids never got to do. When the DC Tryouts came, he hadn't really considered trying out, but he showed up to watch. He had long figured out he had a unique ability to hit any target with anything he threw or shot. When someone started trying to hit a target as Green Arrow with a type of Telekinesis to simulate trick shots, Danny showed him up.

After getting selected, they started by moving out of his Mom's basement and started grooming him for the role of Green Arrow, including physical fitness training and social grooming.

Complication:
Juvenile Delinquent: Father Jacob grew up on the streets and has quite a few crimes to his name. He has a strong desire to "save" youths in similar situations, the way Father Ryan helped him. This will cause him to automatically fail Bluff checks by young adults appearing to want to be saved.

Eager to Prove: Father Jacob is eager to live up to his mentor, and will often try hard to prove he is worthy.

Youthful Appearance: Father Jacob looks even younger than he is and its hard to get some people to take the priest seriously.

Background: Jacob Ryan grew up in a rough neighborhood, joining a gang and becoming quite the budding criminal. That is until he robbeed Father Ryan, or at least tried to rob him. Something about the Priest took him off guard. Father Ryan helped turn the boy around, got him to finish high school and go to college.
Father Ryan worked for the Covenant, and when he saw young Jacob's skill with languages, he knew Jacob would be a valuable recruit. Jacob wanted to impress Father Ryan so much, he followed his calling, eventually becoming an ordianed minister and member of the Order of Solomon.
Father Ryan was assigned to Vibora Bay and he was taking Father Jacobs with him for the young priest's first field assignment. En route, Father Ryan died mysteriously, and Father Jacob is tasked provided research and support for the group in Vibora Bay.

Unspent XP: 2

Complications:
Its a small multiverse: There are several Darians from alternate dimensions that are
travelling the multiverse and causing problems. Darian has a tendacy to run across
"victims" of his dimensional twins.

Wild Mage: While he was trained by his adoptive father, Darian more closely matches
a wild mage than an academic. Anytime a spell fails, or when he power stunts off
his Wild Magic array, there is a chance of a magical backfire.

The Order: Darian's adoptive father belonged to an order of magi that believed in
non-interference. They are seeking Darian and want him to join the order.

Background: Darian never knew his birth parents. At the age of six months, his
homeworld was attacked by Omega. Darian was rescued by a kindly old wizard named
Meron, formerly of an order of interdimensional magi. Meron raised the boy and
eventually took him on as a pupil. It wasn't long before Meron and Darian started
getting visits from the order. They wanted Meron to stop interfering, that the
order was just there to observe. Meron refused.
By the time Darian was fourteen, it became clear that his adopted father was going
senile. He tried his best to cover for him. Meron would travel the multiverse and
act "for the cause of good", while Darian would try to cover up his ailment. The
order made several attempts to stop them, each time Meron would prove to powerful.
When Darian was an adult, he and Meron happened upon a world under attack by Omega.
This confused Meron who thought this was the same attack that he found Darian in.
He fought the forces of Omega, only to lose horribly. With his last dying breath,
he sent Darian away from the battlefield back to their sanctum.
No longer sustained by Meron's magic, the sanctum began to crumble and Darian
grabbed what he could before leaving. Looking through the books he was able to grab,
he continued his studies and began travelling the multiverse. When he saw how much
information he could store with computers, he started learning them to store all of
the magical books he was trying to carry with him. He eventually became quite adept
at using computers.
For the last several years, he traveled the multiverse, looking to trade spells and
grow his abilities to defeat Omega, all the while dodging the order of magi who are
trying to make him join them.

Not believeing in violence, Miguel trained to be an Army medic. While serving in Afghanistan, a local boy he befriended betrayed Miguel and his squad, and they werr getting shot up badly when Miguel had a breakout. Miguel's ability is to manifest his bio-energy or "chi" energy; however, since it manifested in anger, the power manifested as a weapon. The energy gave him superhuman strength and bullet proof skin. He savagely beat the Al Queda forces and saved his squad.

Complications:
Enemy - Techno's first act was to oppose the plans of Georgia Sivana and now the villianess has set her sights on him.

Guilt - Aaron has survivor's guilt regarding Osprey's death.

Background:
Aaron was always the smartest kid in class. His single mom never could afford to send him to the best private schools or buy the things to nurture his intellgence. He managed to develop his technical skills to incredible levels despite all of this, mostly working on old thrown away electronics and other items.

When Aaron and his Mom were saved by the hero Osprey, he knew what he wanted to do. No, not be a superhero, that's crazy. He wanted to be tech support Osprey in his war on crime. Two weeks later when the hero crashed into his car, his dream came true. He helped hide the hero and repaired his anti-gravity flight suit while the hero recovered.

At first, Osprey didn't want to endanger Aaron and refused to let him help full time. Eventually, necessity won out, and Osprey was forced to go to Aaron for help repairing his suit. Aaron was also able to provide a weapon capable of defeating the villian. Osprey took Aaron into his confidence, revealed his identity and took him on full time, on the condition he enroll in college.

A few months back, Osprey's archnemesis Georgia Sivana moved to Gotham and Osprey followed with Aaron in tow. Two months later the Secret Six attacked. Osprey was killed fighting the escaped villians from Arkham while Aaron sat in the headquarters helpess to do anything but watch. With Osprey's fortune being tied up in probate, Aaron gathered what few items he could to make his own crime fighting gear.

Note: Special thanks to Badpenny for letting me use Raptor as the basis for Osprey, and for helping me work out the relationship Aaron had with the hero.

Rather than take the easy path, Kris tried to fight the evil that was trying to consume him. He became a pupil of the Master Mage himself, Doctor Arcane and joined a group of heroes in Bay City.

When the demon inside him began to emerge, it took Ashley and Dr Arcane to fight it back, and Ashely entered into Kris' mind and dissolved the contract, freeing his soul.

Powerless, Kris doubled his efforts in the study of magic, and also began employing the sundry items he had been collecting in dealing with the mystic threats in the world.

Background: Darian was born in a universe similar to the Freedom Universe. Before he was 4, his parents knew something was different. He learned things incredibly quickly. He made connections between disparate things regularly. At 12, he was already working on advanced quantum physics and string theory in between piano concerts and art exhibits of his latest work. A chance meeting with Adrian Eldrich allowed him to make connections between magic and science that no expert of either field could understand.

While working on a special project at the age of 19, he accidentally created a temporal window. Through the window, he saw the coming of Omega. He tried to tell the heroes of his world, but no one believed him. Centurion had given his life to kill Omega and no one was willing to believe Omega survived. So it was up to Darian, and he only had a year.
He worked night and day trying to find a way to stop Omega's invasion, but in the end nothing would succeed. As the day approached, he knew the answer wasn't on his Earth, but in another dimension somewhere. He crafted his armor out of a perfect union of magic and science.
Unfortunately, his actions had drawn the attention of Omega, who invaded much earlier than Darian had forseen. His world was destroyed, but Darian had the means to escape. Escape and search for a way to defeat Omega.

Complication:
Enemy- Rin is on the Council's radar over his parentage, and many others would prefer to see him dead rather than risk Trigon using him to invade Earth.
Prejudice- As a half-demon son of Trigon, many out there assume Rin Trigon's servant or at least a great threat to the planet. He registers as Infernal.
Fights for the underdog- Rin is motivated to help the underdog.

Update: After the Invasion, Troy needs some time off and Rin agrees to fill in for him. Rin was bumped twenty points, and his array was cleaned up after passing the "cheaper to be a variable" threshold. I like the big Array/small Variable combination better anyway.

AEGIS Report
Subject: Ryan Moreland, codenamed Ronin, formerly Praetorian
Status: Sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; Pardoned after successful service in the <REDACTED>

Profile: Ryan Moreland was a night time security guard at a facility being used covertly by Shadow to investigate an alien spacecraft. Ryan stumbled on to the workers and accidentally fell against some of the equipment that opened the spacecraft and freeing the passenger inside. The passenger claimed to be The Stellar Khan's half-sister, Kamada Khan, a half Zultan, half Ruluan. She killed all of the other scientists and Shadow agents, but saved Ryan for a special reward. Ryan was turned into her bodyguard and enforcer, Praetorian, through an unknown process.
Over the six years that followed, Praetorian, was a loyal servant to Kamada Khan. The pair, along with other villians, fought hero teams on multiple occasions.
Five years ago, after Kamada Khan were responsible for the death of the hero named Pixie, a combined team of heroes assaulted the villians cloaked ship and sent her fleeing in an escape pod. The pod appeared to enter an artifical wormhole leaving the solar system. However, Praetorian remained behind and was easily apprehended by the group of heroes.
Praetorian was convicted and incarcerated in a maximum security prison for metahumans. After three months of incarceration, Ryan began to exhibit unusal psychological symptoms. The prison psychiatrist began to see signs off guilt and remorse, something Ryan had not shown until this time. Continued diagnosis indicated that Ryan was showing classic signs being brainwashed and post tramatic stress disorder. Over the next nine months, Ryan showed almost total recovery of memories and personalities, although he is still plagued by occasional relapses of brainwashing.
After service for four years in the <REDACTED>, Ryan received a pardon for his crimes. While serving, he adopted the codename Ronin. He has been relocated to Emerald City and setup with a job as a security guard.

Complication:

Background:
Cain is the son of Jacob Bennet, a powerful industrialist, and Eliza. His mother died in childbirth and Jacob treated Cain as the successor to his legacy from the get go, even after he re-married and had children with his second wife.

Cain, however, was only ever interested in art. At the age of thirteen, he found he had the ability to control metal. As time passed, he slowly developed control over his magnetic abilities. He kept them a secret because his father was highly prejudiced against metas.

When Cain turned 16, he told his Dad he wasn't interested in college; his father took it in stride. Having never graduated college himself, Jacob felt his son would do better working his way up to the top like he did. He put his son to work after school and in the summer in his business. Undaunted, Cain continued working on his art in whatever free time he could find.

After graduating high school, he continued working at his dad's company until one day he witnessed a bank robbery. During the chaos, the escaping criminals lost control of their vehicle and was headed for a woman and her small child. Without thinking, Cain reacted and stopped the car in mid-air. Unfortunately, the whole thing was filmed and Cain's exploits made the evening news.

Cain's father immediately disowned him and produced evidence that his mother had an affair and Cain wasn't his child. Abandoned by his family and ostracized by his public outing, Cain decided leaving Freedom City and exploring the country was a perfect way to start over and inspire new art.

Background
Kaito was born in Japan, his father a very prominent business man. His mom revealed to his Dad that Kaito was not his, but she had a one night stand with an American. Kaito's father decided to cover up the affair so he didn't lose face. However, when Kaito was twelve, he transformed into a werewolf on the full moon. This enraged his "father" so much that he kicked Kaito out of the house.

Kaito lived on the streets for two years, until he stole a car of a professional baseball player. Yamacha chased Kaito down to get his car back. When he caught him, the young thief went werewolf on him and Yamcha was forced to subdue him. Yamcha decided he could improve his reputation by teaching this kid and turning him away from the path of evil.

After six months of training, Kaito decided there was nothing else Yamcha could teach him, so he stole his car and several thousand yen, then bought a plane ticket to America. Upon arriving, he decided he would make a name for himself by beating up some supers. After getting pwned by the third hero - a student at Hope Prep no less, he was arrested and taken to jail. After hearing his story, the judge decided to have him enrolled in AA.

Edit 1: Added the Wolf Form to the Metamorph.
Edit 2: Increased Dodge and Parry 1. Increased Close Combat and Ranged Combat Skills by 1 each, making him 7.5 in Human form. I haven't adjusted the alternate forms at this time.
Edit 3: Changed out the Metamorph for Alternate Forms. Added Step Sideways. He also drops back to PL7 in Human form for now.
