Tracked Due to her past, the powers that be are not hedging their bets. They are fully aware that the decision to give someone with a shady and questionable past does not rank up there in terms of Good Ideas. They have placed a bracelet on her that enables them to track her position. If it's tampered with, it goes boom. If it is out of range for too long, it goes boom.

Backstory
Anya grew up being passed from one foster family to the next. Not really having a home of her own she acted out the only way she knew how and developed the bad girl image. At age 18 she started running with the wrong crowd she was caught and had to make a choice between jail time or the Gladitori program. She choose the later as jail time did not sound link a meaningful life choice.

[Commando]

I was going to alter Tempest's powers to be more physical in nature. She'd be kind of like a super martial artist with low-level telekinesis, but her control over that power isn't too great, thus it appears like wind control as it needs her to move her body to use it (kind of like Aang, from Avatar, using martial arts to manifest his powers).

As for the martial arts, I was going to have it be a family style. Her father (and grandfather, if it goes back that far) has always believed in being strong to be useful, and in protecting one's family, even when others won't. They saw the peace that the world attained as fragile and kept up their training with the motto: "No one wants to fight, but someone needs to know how."

Her father was on the police force and Tempest was planning to do the same - another motivation for her to train.

Her build and abilities would be similar to a fighting game character. Physically unbeatable, but with a few moves that look supernatural because of her "heightened chi" (or that's what she refers to it).

Is that acceptable, or does it fly in the face of what you had in mind. I can see how wind control could overlap with Aerlwyn's telekinesis, so I can rewrite if it does.

[Bladewind]

I see them as different enough to work together. Unlike the LSH there is no provision that every character has to have a different power !

Aerlwyn, there is a small issue with the concept - and I might even be able/ willing to make a concession as I think you've been saying that since your first post - characters are supposed to be in their mid to late teens. Being a doctor kinda precludes that age bracket...

[Aerlwyn]

Can make changes if that will not work out. Makes sense as you said thats not going to work for late teens.

[Commando]

I see them as different enough to work together. Unlike the LSH there is no provision that every character has to have a different power !

What about the super martial artist? Is that ok?

What about the super martial artist? Is that ok?

Absolutely. I proviso is that moves that he should not be able to do - either because he has not yet been taught or should normally be defensible against - are available because of the Process.

Indeed.

My idea was to build a general martial artist with enhanced stats and then give "super moves" that are thematic to wind control. Although, I might go general chi with this one and just have a few powers that have the wind descriptor. Anyway, the special moves are from the Effect, while the badass martial arts skills are just part of the character's training.

Here's a first pass at the sonic powered concept.

Biography

The Va Shaak invasion devastated the entirety of the human race, but it was most catastrophic to those members who were already considered 'handicapped' or 'special'. Times had become dark and desperate, and the first to be offered up as useless and wasting precious food and medical resources were the week.

Jacob Bennet had already lived 17 years being humiliated and underestimated. His high intellect dismissed immediately upon others discovering his deafness. While the masses dreaded the trials and tribulations of the war, Jacob saw the light at the end of the tunnel. For once others would not be able to just dismiss him. He would show everyone the potential bursting inside of him. By sacrificing himself to “The Process” his name would be etched in the minds of all humans forever.

I updated Tempest on Page 2. I didn't end up changing her overly much. Primarily, I added some martial arts to the mix and cleaned up her skills to make her more appropriately a teenager. I'll give her a backstory later today.

[Commando]

Ok, I got the build down to where I'm happy with it. She is a super martial artist with air control "super moves."

Here's the link.

[Moderate_Hero]

I'm interested in the game, sounds like a very detailed setting and an unusual setup.

My concept is "The Mountebank," who before "enhancement" was a gambling, beer-swilling, fight-starting grifter who was a master of ass-banditry as well as the "long con." Give him a wealthy couple in an rambling old house, and he will insinuate himself inside and into their lives (and wills) before you can say "double-take" (not to mention seduce the housemaid, kill the annoying dog, and plunder the wine cellar).

With dubious morals, questionable ethics, selfish and arrogant, interested only in money - and what money can bring: all this shifted when the attack happened. Suddenly, there was something else to fight for far more important than his fluctuating bank account. For the first time, "The Mountebank" thought of society in a broader sense; of others equal to himself, who needed help; of sacrifice, rather than gain.

His transformation into a "hero" was slow, and beset by various setbacks (moral, as well as legal), but eventually he made it through. He saw what he needed and wanted, and that was to fight for them all, for all the powerless and weak who (unlike himself) were not smart or lucky enough to prosper...

And he volunteered for the special "treatment"...

And the results are very interesting...

BRIEF SUMMARY

POWER: LUCK
He used to just be lucky because he was, well, lucky. This helped him become a bafflingly successful gambler even before the procedure, after which his "luck" become highly augmented. Foes find unluckly things happening to them; allies find their way paved with gold. A punch which should sail harmlessly by plunges right into the enemy's gut, as he slips on a proverbial banana peel... at exactly the wrong time.

SKILLS: Suitable for a conman and man-about-town. And hardened criminal.

INSPIRING: Often able to whip up an effective and believable tactical plan; smooth inter-party tensions; buck up those who are sagging; etc. Extremely competent, brave, and despite your personal feelings about the man: you will follow him over the trench and across no-man's land. Why? Well, he probably knows what he is doing - he's not gotten anyone killed yet - plus he said there was a case of scotch over there somewhere, and a root-verified blond...

(Let me know if you are interested, would like a real writeup)

COMPLICATIONS

• Motivation: Justice. Can’t stand what has happened, and is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the nation. Hates them aliens. Hates them!
• Digs the Chicks: And they usually dig him back, but he’s a little grating, annoying, egotistical…and he simply can’t get over the fact that some skirts won’t turn into a pile of mush for him. Particularly those aiming weapons his way.
• Gambling: He loves a good game. He loves a good bet. He will gamble on anything, pretty much – and go to any length to make good the bet. He’s extremely honorable in this way: the iron-clad rule of the grifters. No welching on bets!
• Transformative process: will die in a year from it… so tries to pack in as much living as he can. This involves coffee, amphetamines, and when available, cocaine. Live for the moment! Next year ain’t happening.
• Loyal to a fault: if you are part of his "team", if you are one of his "buds," he's gonna have you back. If you get killed, he'll take revenge. If you get caught, he'll spring you - you might be in Fort Knox, but he'll spring you, or die trying.
• Issues with Authority: he's trying, really hard. He knows he needs to take orders from the government, and be a good soldier boy. But it's really, really tough sometimes, and cracks occasionally show - to disastrous results.

(Let me know if you are interested, would like a real writeup)

Hell ya.

This character's abilities really fit the concept of how the Process enhances some natural ability or tendency to an extreme.

Love the concepts so far. I am likely to put a deadline up by Monday to start reigning in and getting started.

Incidentally, I will be out of commission for most of the day tomorrow... off to Montreal Comic Con.

[CaptainChaos]

I have the build 98% done and am working on a background. I should have everything posted by Monday night.

Basic powers are a vision based blast (kind of like a laser beam), infravision, darkvision, microscopic vision, vision based dazzle effect.

[Bladewind]

Excellent builds and submissions all !

I<m thinking deadline Wednesday night and start the game by Friday.
