Background
Colin King is the wealthy son of Captain John King, a master spy who served in the employ of the British Government. Colin was born as part of a government-sponsored genetics program dubbed "Hope and Glory." This program has gifted Colin with genius-level intellect and peak human efficiency. Neville Alcott's daughter, Jillian, was also a successful member of this program and became the heroine known as Deathangel.

Colin was raised in the Orient, but was always an outcast in their society. When his father was killed by the mad scientist Iwatsu, Colin went into training, determined to carry on his father's tradition and bring his killers to justice. Now a master of the secret arts of the ninja, he serves England and the world as Ninjak.

He is the enforcer for the mysterious Weaponeer and the top espionage expert in the world. From martial arts to demolition and information acquisition, Ninjak's multitude of skills and keen intellect always keep him a step ahead of his opponents. And his amazing ability to prepare for any outcome in a given situation means that, no matter how outmatched he may seem, Ninjak always has an ace in the hole! Ninjak also protects himself with a unique, kevlar armored body-suit that can change colors like a chameleon. But whether his approach is stealthy or direct, Ninjak is never caught unprepared!

The write-up on Bloddshot is pretty nasty. Specially considering that he can control the Tech-based powers of any hero who he gets to touch (he did it once, that I can renember, with those other nanite-enhanced soldiers. Made them explode).

Yeah, I may turn down the Regen once I understand it more. But as far as what you said, I am glad you think it is close

[marcoasalazarm]

I didn't meant "nasty" as in "it's bad". I meant it as in "him aganist my friends would be a hell of a fight-and they might lose".

And I just like to make them sweat.

Background
In the early 1990s, the rights to Doctor Solar, Turok, and Magnus, Robot Fighter were licensed by Valiant Comics, which planned to use the characters as part of Jim Shooter's new superhero line. A number of changes were made to the character and his back-story. The new version (now known simply as Solar) was a physicist named Phil Seleski. Phil was a fan of the Gold Key line, especially the adventures of Doctor Solar. One day, Phil Sileski and his colleagues were testing a new type of fusion reactor. When an accidental breach threatened to decimate the entire area, Dr. Seleski rushed to shut down the reactor. He succeeded, but he was exposed to lethal doses of radiation in the process. Amazingly, the exposure didn't kill him. Instead, it gave him an ability to manipulate energy. Phil Seleski tried to use his powers for the good of mankind. He became determined to destroy the world's supply of nuclear weapons. The US government tried to stop him. Unfortunately, their efforts caused Phil to lose control of his powers, which in turn caused Earth to fall into a giant black hole.

Phil Seleski wound up thrown several weeks back in time (or so he thought). The guilt over his role in destruction of his world caused him to split into two beings: Doctor Solar, who believed himself to be Phil's childhood hero; and Phil Seleski, who retained all the memories of the original. Phil sought to prevent an accident that gave him powers from taking place. His efforts were complicated by the presence of Doctor Solar, who was convinced Phil was a dangerous criminal. Eventually, Phil managed to convince his alter-ego that they needed to work together. They fused with the past version of Phil Seleski and prevented the accident. In the process, they discovered that Phil's fusion reactor was actually a "wish machine" that allowed anyone within close proximity to change the universe in any way they saw fit. Before the original accident, Phil wished that he could become his childhood superhero. As the result, the reactor simulated the events that gave the original Dr. Solar his powers. Phil also found out that he didn't travel to the past. After falling into a black hole, he tried to recreate his universe. For the most part, he succeeded. However, there were several important differences, the most important of which was that Earth was now populated by a large number of super-powered beings.

The revelations inspired Phil Seleski to take up the mantle of his childhood hero. He became known as Solar, Man of the Atom.

Solar went on to have many adventures, fighting a wide variety of threats, from Spider Aliens to malevolent Harbingers to Mothergod. He survived for many centuries. He blew himself up in an effort to stop the Spider Alien invasion of 4000 AD.

Background
Aric Dacia was a Visigoth barbarian in the 5th Century. He was the nephew of Alaric, a great barbarian leader who eventually sacked Rome. He had a wife named Diedre, who was eventually killed during one of his sojourns into the past. Aric was eventually kidnapped by a race of aliens known to Valiant fans as the Spider Aliens. The Spider Aliens collected humans for foodstuff and Aric worked as a slave for them before stealing the mighty X-O class armor. The armor allowed him to escape from the Spider Aliens and flee back to Earth -- only to find himself in the early 1990s! Confused by the modern world, Aric found the sentient armor to be a very good guide. The armor taught him English and helped him adapt. Eventually, Aric seized control of Orb Industries and took it as the spoils of war. Orb had been a dummy corporation for the Spider Aliens. With the help of Ken Clarkson (who helped run the day-to-day operations of Orb) and Randy Cartier (in charge of Orb's security), Aric began to accept the late 20th Century as his home. All of this was undone when a villain called Crescendo slew Randy and Ken, while destroying Orb. Aric then became a wanderer, both in space and on earth, before becoming partners for a time with a young thief named Gamin. At the end of his series, we were led to believe his entire career had been a dream but you and I both know that's stupid as hell. Aric is still out there somewhere. According to Rai # 0, Aric will rebuild Orb Industries and live into the mid 2060s thanks to the armor.

Aric is a fair and honorable man who delights in combat. He is also a tragic figure, doomed to always lose what means most to him. Roleplaying Aric can be a lot of fun -- he's now a modern man, but with the heart of a barbarian.

Background
Magnus, Robot Fighter

Real Name: Magnus

Identity/Class: Harbinger (Mutant human) cyborg

Occupation: Robot Fighter

Affiliations: 1A, Tekla, Slagger, member of the Future Force

Enemies: Malev Emperor

Known Relatives: Kris Hathaway (mother), Torque (father), Leeja (wife), Torque (son)

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: North Am

First Appearance: Magnus, Robot Fighter #1 (Gold Key, February 1963)

Powers/Abilities: Magnus is able to smash steel robots with his bare hands. In the Valiant version it turns out that Magnus is a second generation Harbinger, the child of two twentieth century Harbingers who was taken forward in time by Solar, and thus has superhuman strength and durability..

History: "No robot may harm a human, or allow a human to come to harm... This is the unbreakable law built into every robot, and the metal-men were created solely to ease man's tasks of life."

(Valiant version) Magnus was born in the twentieth century, during the Unity War, the child of Kris Hathaway and the super-strong Harbinger known as Torque. Sensing that the future had need of the young second-generation Harbinger, Geoff the Geomancer took the child forward in time to the thirty-ninth century with the help of Solar, Man of the Atom.

(Both Gold Key and Valiant versions) Magnus was raised in isolation from the rest of his humanity by the robot 1A, an almost unique emotional robot which foresaw a time when mankind's robot slaves would tire of their subservient role and rise up against their masters. Wishing to prepare a defense for man against such an eventuality, 1A trained Magnus to be a perfect human specimen, expert in martial arts and in destroying robots. To aid him when the time came to battle rogue robot, his mentor also implanted a receiver in Magnus' brain, enabling him to secretly listen in on robot-to-robot radio communications. Once he felt Magnus was ready, 1A introduced his protege to human society. Magnus made his home in the city of North Am, where he soon began his war on rogue robots.

(Valiant version) Eventually Magnus began to question his mission. 1A was a rogue robot of sorts, after all. He started to wonder if he had the right to destroy a rogue when it wasn't threatening humanity, merely wishing to live free and not as a slave. After meeting and befriending the Freewill robot Tekla, Magnus eventually decided to end his enmity of the robots, allowing the Freewills to set up an independent city-state of Synchron, under the leadership of Tekla. Magnus, meanwhile, had grown disdainful of the North Am elite who lived in the city's Milespires, and moved to live among the "Gophs" who inhabited the city's poorer lower levels, where he made the acquaintance of Slagger, a Goph champion.

North Am was then invaded by the killer robots of the planet Malev 6, led by their Emperor and seeking to turn Earth in Malev 7, their new home. To this race of alien robots, makind was only useful as a fuel source, drained for the "ectothermic energy" of their brain waves. Joining a group known as the Future Force, Magnus led the fight against the invaders.

As time passed, Magnus learned of his twentieth century origins. He would marry and have a son, whom he named after his father. Following the Chaos Effect, Magnus was stranded for several years in the twentieth century, got elected President, and returned to his own time. When the Malevs returned, Magnus' wife was killed, and his son was forced to become a Psi-Lord to save his own life. Solar the Destroyer finally annihilated the Malevs, but Magnus vanished around the same time.

Background
One of three natural human immortals. Gilad is the brother of Ivar the Timewalker and Aram the other aka Armstrong as well as the fist of the Geomancers and has served them for a millennia. In addition to his super human strength (though not as great as Aram's) and stamina, Gilad posses a healing ability which allows him to regenerate virtually any would. His people once said that he carried within him the "Leopard Spirit".

Gilad was born before recorded histroy. Like his brothers he is immortal and virtually indestructable. His skill at battlecraft and the arts of stealth are great, as he has honed them throughout the ages. In his youth he and Aram battled the superior weaponry of Mesopotamia and lost. Later the warriors of Mesopotamia attacked Gilad's village in retribution. All were killed with the exception of Gilad, Aram and Gilad's son Kalam. The brothers split up, Gilad traveling with the Geomancer of the day and Aram seeking a new family and a less violent life. Centuries passed and the brothers saw each other on occasion but have largely led separate lives.

With an ultra-dense cellular structure that gives him great strength and the ability to heal from the most grievous of wounds, Gilad Anni-Padda is even immune to the ravages of time. The greatest fighter from an age when the sword was the law, he was ancient before the rise of the Pharaohs, and shall survive the fall of nations yet to come. He is the Fist and Steel of those who guard the Earth - the Geomancers, and his battle is never-ending...

Bravest of a warrior tribe, Gilad Anni-Padda was born before recorded history. He and his brothers, Aram and Ivar, are the only known naturally immortal humans. When their tribe is decimated by the Sumerians, Gilad and his brothers go their separate ways. Establishing a relationship with the Geomancers, Gilad pledges to enforce their will for generations to come. Centuries later in China, Gilad first battles the Immortal Enemy, General Cheng. It is Cheng's hatred of Gilad that makes him reincarnate through the ages, always seeking Gilad's destruction. Everytime he reincarnates his eyes remain the same, one green and one brown. In World War II, Gilad meets Neville Alcott, who would later serve to aid the Eternal Warrior's causes.

Now known as Gilad Abrams, the Warrior fights the Immortal Enemy's latest incarnation: Colombian drug lord Juan Javier Caldone. Gilad has also incurred the enmity of Master Darque - necromancer supreme. But Gilad is no stranger to strife. For if a warrior's worth is measured by his enemies, then Gilad continues to be the greatest warrior of all time.

During the Unity crisis we see that Gilad will still be active in 4000 A.D., battling alongside Magnus, Robot Fighter.

By the 40th century, the era of Magnus, Armstrong had exiled himself to Mars. Around the time that Mothergod destroyed Japan and the last Rai was empowered, Armstrong finally stopped running from his destiny, returned to Earth, and became the new Geomancer.

History: Toyo Harada may possess the most powerful mind of any human on Earth. He is one of only two known Harbingers (people born with psionic powers, believed by many to be the first sign of mankind beginning to make an evolutionary leap) who has what is considered the full range of psionic powers: what he has termed the Omega Power. Harada became convinced mankind would eventually destroy itself and it's world if left to it's own devices, and that the only way to prevent this was if someone secretly assumed control and directed them down a better path. Naturally, Harada felt he was the logical candidate to save mankind. Knowing his fellow Harbingers were the key to success or failure in this campaign, he set up the Harbinger Foundation to recruit and train other paranormals for his cause. Because he fully believed in the rightness of his cause, he became willing to ruthlessly eliminate any who might get in the way of his plans, becoming a monster in the process.

Notes: Zephyr is eager to get in the mist of the action, despite not having a very offensive power. I represented this with the Fearless and Seize Initiative feat.

She is not easily discoraged. Her Second Chance lets her save against demoralizing attacks.

She does manage to pull some stunts without any real training, which is shown by the luck and skill related feats.

She reallly does see the group as a superteam, and acts as such, marked by the Inspire and Teamwork feats.

Background
The H.A.R.D. Corps are members of a secret paramilitary organization. The psi-borg soldiers of the H.A.R.D. Corps have use of amazing powers, but the cost is their freedom. Fearing the rise of the Harbinger Foundation, Mr. Heydrich's Omen Corporation creates the Harbinger Active Resistance Division, or H.A.R.D. Corps. By means of cybernetic brain implants, candidates are plucked from comas. These same implants can stimulate portions of the brain, reproducing the psionic powers of certain Harbingers. In battle, the H.A.R.D. Corps operatives, called psi-borgs, can call for Harbinger powers, one at a time. Operating the H.A.R.D. Corps' Harbinger Powers database is Softcore. It is she who grants psi-borg requests for powers.

The original H.A.R.D. Corps included Maniac, Gunslinger, Hammerhead, and Shakespeare. On a raid against a Harbinger Foundation installation, Maniac was beaten to death by the massive Harbinger, Big Boy. Despite the perilous nature of the job, more psi-borgs join the ranks, including Superstar and Flatline as well as the newest rookies, Hotshot, Wipeout, and Perp. In addition to fighting Harbinger forces, they have even battled the Spider Aliens. Any enemy of humanity is an enemy of the H.A.R.D. Corps.

But it is not the joy of battle that motivates these men and women. Should they forsake their duty, Omen will return them to their coma state.
