JediMorningfire's Assorted Characters - Kingdom Hearts

[Jedi Morningfire]

Since I've been working on several non-video game related builds, I figured it was time to start a new thread. Some of these will be "original" builds in that they don't come form a specific source, but a majority of them will be conversions of characters from different media. (So far, animated TV characters are leading the pack by a wide stretch.)

As this will be the index post, no stats here. I'll also include a link to the video game thread, which has an index of the builds I've done there to date.

Abilities 18 + Skills 20 (80 Ranks) + Feats 39 + Powers 37 + Combat 40 + Saves 11 – Drawbacks 0 = 165 / 165

Trade-Offs: -3 Max Save DC, +3 Attack bonus; -4 Toughness save, +4 Dodge bonus

Notes
The Puma Sisters are nearly identical, with the only distinguishing feature between the two being that Uni’s cat-ears are slightly longer than Anna’s, leading the latter to sometimes call the former “long-ears.” Stat-wise, they’re identical twins.
At Power Level 11, they’re a major threat to any form of police officer, especially given their favored opponent feat. And considering their preference for using auto-fire weapons mixed with a high attack bonus and the Power Attack feat, they can be a threat even to a group of Power Level 10 heroes, especially with their high Defense scores. While they’re not quite as dangerous in melee, their high Strength score still makes them dangerous to anyone with a low Toughness save.
Technically, their melee damage would exceed the damage cap should they be attacking a police officer while he’s flat-footed, but given their preference for guns that shouldn’t come up to often, but if it does their damage cap is still +8.
With three ranks of Attractive, anyone that finds the Puma Sisters appealing is going to be putty in their hands, and with Distract, Fascinate and Improved Feint, they’ll have a pretty good chance of catching such an opponent off-guard.
I narrowed down their Perform specialization, as nothing in their history suggests they were trained in more socially-accepted forms of dancing. Their high skill rank is more a reflection of how innately provocative they can be when doing their act, not how well trained they are. If working on a paired routine, figure one of the sisters is actually making the skill check while the other provides a +2 bonus for the assist, for a total bonus of +20, which can be quite daunting to overcome for most characters when mixed with their Fascinate (perform) feat.
Their immunity to Fortitude effects and high Reflex save means that a lot of heroes are going to have their hands full unless they get creative or have powers specifically designed to fight artificial beings. Of course, with a comparatively pathetic Will save and no ranks in Sense Motive, the twins have little defense against mental effects or someone with a high Intimidate bonus.

Trade-Offs: -1 Attack bonus, +1 Max Save DC; -1 Toughness save, +1 Defense bonus

Notes
Here’s my take on the Danny Phantom. I figure he’s only a PL 9 in terms of using his powers. Of course, given the sheer versatility of what his powers are, his point-cost is that of a PL 11 hero. Most of Danny’s opponents range from PL 6 to 11 in terms of power, from the annoying Box Ghost to arch-nemesis Plasmius.
Since he’s shown to be able to use some of his ghost powers without “going ghost,” I didn’t roll everything under his Ghost Form power. Given how often Danny and his opponents interact with the environment, namely crashing into things, I also figure that they aren’t permanently insubstantial. While Danny can use Insubstantial on others, he can also use it as a reaction to affect just himself as a defensive action, making him a very annoying opponent to anyone without a means to affect incorporeal beings, and with Selective he can affect the physical world as needed.
His ability to create force-fields is a very limited form of Create Objects. He also needs to be aware of the attack, and thus it can’t be used to bail him out of danger when he’s flat-footed.
His main offensive power is his Blast, which he can use to fire a single blast, a series of weaker blasts, or launch a powerful melee offensive, with Autofire added to the Strike to mimic his ability to pull off some hefty damage with a single punch, though he’s capped to a maximum bonus of +2 on his punches. His major offensive power in terms of sheer destructive potential is his Ghostly Wail, with requires an attack roll to hit, but doesn’t allow a Reflex save to reduce the effect. Though he’s only used it a few times in the series, it’s caused a lot of destruction each time; but it also leaves him fatigued, and thus powerless, making it an attack of last resort. The Corrosion power used here is from Ultimate Power, meaning it affects living and non-living targets equally, and he has to make a DC 19 Concentration check in order to use it.
With his complications, Danny should always have a Hero Point or two in reserve when fighting more powerful opponents, especially if his ghost-hunting parents are involved.
Danny’s Knowledge (ghosts) and (Fenton technology) are limited versions of the Knowledge (arcane lore) and (technology) skills, respectively, and so were purchased at half-cost. Since this is an experienced version of Danny, he’s also maxed out his Concentration skill, though he still needs to avoid getting tired otherwise his powers short-out. Considering how often he has to push himself to win the day, that can be a serious problem if he’s out of Hero Points.
I have to give credit to BARON and his Ghostbusters builds for pointing me in the right direction on finally getting a Fenton Thermos design that’s not a kludge of any sort. And since it’s purchased as Equipment, Danny can swap out the Thermos for other Fenton ghost-hunting gear when the situation calls for it.
On paper, Danny is a very powerful character. The trick to playing him properly is not to think tactically, as he doesn’t always make full use of his abilities, particularly defensive ones such as his Create Objects and Insubstantial powers. A kind GM should hand out a Hero Point anytime Danny’s player willingly limits his effectiveness; a cruel one should at least smirk at the headaches Danny causes himself.

Notes
One of my favorites of the recent crop of animated TV villains, Ember was a fun build and can be deceptively powerful, given the right circumstances, which she’s quite capable of setting up given a little prep time.
Offensively, she’s usually a PL 8, but when Ember’s got a legion of obsessed fans chanting her name, she gets a big boost in power, enabling her to meet her offensive caps. And since one of her guitar’s effects is to get an audience to have a helpful attitude towards her, she can easily set herself up to make use of her Boost powers.
Her main weapon is her guitar, which aside from her damaging “power chords” also lets her turn an audience into devoted fans, which she can then direct as needed, and since the Emotion Control is both Continuous and Lasting, she doesn’t have to expend any effort on “maintaining her fan base,” while her Mind Control effect lets her direct her fans’ actions. Since she only used the “love spell” once in the series, I’m just going to chalk it up to a case of GM Fiat. Her non-guitar blast is Ember using her flaming ponytailt to create a flamethrower effect, and as the ability to affect insubstantial targets as well.
Ember’s Summon Minion power is strictly to call up her band, and about the only thing they’re good for is musical back-up during a performance.

Ghost Musicians
PL: 3 (30pp)
Abilities: Str 12 (+1), Dex 12 (+1), Con n/a, Int 10 (+0), Wis 10 (+0), Cha 12 (+1)
Skills: Entertain (instrument) 8 (+9)
Feats: Attack Focus (melee), Equipment
Powers: Immunity 30 (Fortitude effects)
Combat: Attack +1 (Unarmed +1), Grapple +2, Defense 10, Knockback -0, Init +1
Saves: Toughness +0, Fortitude n/a, Reflex +1, Will +0
Equipment: Musical instrument
[i]Abilities -4 + Skills 2 (8 ranks) + Feats 2 + Powers 30 + Combat 0 + Saves 0 = 30/30

Update 8/12: Snagged Ultimate Power last night, and Ember got some tweaks here and there. She also adheres much better to her PL caps when under the effect of her Boost powers.
Update 8/15: Changed her non-guitar Blast power so that she can now do the entrapment effect, though she needs to use extra effort if she's going to snare multiple targets. Also found a picture that I like a lot more than the screen capture I was using.

Notes
Danny Phantom’s arch-rival, the bitter crazed-up fruit loop Plasmius, better known to the world-at-large as Vlad Masters. And if Danny is an over-priced PL 9, then Vlad is a monsterous PL 11.
- Due to having over 20 years of experience with his half-ghost powers, Plasmius can almost everything Danny can do better than him, as well as having a few extra tricks up his sleeve, such as being able to create up to three doppelgangers. Each one is identical to Vlad, except for following the Minion rules. So far, Plasmius hasn’t been able to replicate Danny’s Ghostly Wail, but then again he may not have known about it until the first time he got blasted with it.
While not quite in Jack and Maddie Fenton’s league in terms of scientific know-how, Vlad isn’t that far behind, but he’d much rather finance someone else’s research or steal it and then upgrade or reverse-engineer the design.
- Though Plasmius has a lot more experience with his ghost powers, he’s still not guaranteed to make his Concentration check, due to having a lot of extra power that Danny doesn’t have. Then again, he doesn’t have to worry about reverting back to his human form when he gets fatigued. GMs should feel free to make use of GM Fiat to ensure that Vlad retains his Ghost Form if the situation calls for it.
At their first confrontation, Danny was hopelessly outmatched, and had to resort to guile to win the day. Over the span of the series, Danny’s gotten more powerful and more experienced in using his powers, and is better able to hold his own against “the cheese-head,” but it’s still an uphill battle the young half-ghost, and every victory Danny’s been able to claim as been due to some form of outside interference. In a strictly one-on-one fight, Danny’s usually gonna get creamed. Of course, that might change as Danny gets older since he’s using his powers in active combat instead of the more controlled conditions that Vlad likely enjoyed, but for now, Danny’s got to watch his step when duking it out with the “seriously crazed-up fruit loop.”

Nice build, and a good hook on getting me interested in the show. It's still running, right?

Nice build, and a good hook on getting me interested in the show. It's still running, right?

Thanks. Yeah, Nick is still showing it (6:30pm EST), though from the last I heard the Nick execs are still planning on canceling the show in Feb '07, in spite of it's fan-base (probably due to lack of product tie-ins/sales).

Side-Note: Danny got a slight tweak.

Iron Cross

PL: 15 (255pp)

Notes
Nazis are one of the staple villains of comic books, with a legacy going back to the Golden Age of Comics. That said, here’s a 2e re-imagining of the Iron Cross from the Crooks! sourcebook.
I say re-imagining as opposed to conversion because at lot of what Iron Cross had for 1e stats just didn’t sit right with me. Heck, anyone that could force a saving throw other than Damage/Toughness in 1e could make mincemeat out of him, and once he lost his blaster his primary method of offense vanished. This Iron Cross is more of a paragon archetype, in that he’s super-strong, can fly, and is fairly tough to hurt.
In the Meta-4 universe, Iron Cross is intended to be one of the heavy-hitters, so PL 15 fits perfectly, and he’ll be a worthy challenge for heroes that are Justice League-caliber, and a daunting foe to your average PL 10 band of heroes.

Part of me wonders if there's a by-law on the ATT citing that anyone with a character thread must eventually do a build of either Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man. If so, then this post fills that quota.

Quote: “I’m here to fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.”

Trade-Offs: -5 Attack bonus, +5 Max Save DC; -5 Defense bonus, +5 Toughness save

Notes
I know I posted a version of Superman a while back on a different thread, but this is a much re-worked version, coming in at PL 15. He’s a mix of the Modern Age, Silver Age, film, and Smallville versions of Clark Kent, able to shrug off frightening amounts of damage while hitting like a runaway freight train. He fits like a farm boy, going for big damage and soaking up punches rather than accuracy and avoidance.
As for his disguise as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, with his Quickness he can just take 10, or even 20, on the Disguise check, getting a 16 or 26 (+2 for appropriate outfit, +4 Charisma bonus). That’s plenty high enough to beat a Notice check from the average man on the street. Of course, it helps that people just can’t wrap their heads around the notion that somebody with that much power could stand to pretend to be such a meek individual.
Of course, with all that power, the Big Blue Boy Scout also has some hefty drawbacks, namely Kryptonite. It’s also explained that he can be affected normally by magic, so I gave him a Power Loss vs. magical attacks, which is elegant in it’s simplicity.

Notes
The first of Danny’s constant companions, here’s Sam, the goth voice of reason and responsibility of the trio. And they ARE NOT LOVEBIRDS!!!! Though she does serve as the Mary-Jane to Danny’s Spider-Man, in that she can give him a heck of an ego boost via her Inspire and Leadership feats. Of course, she’s also pretty good at cutting people down with scathing remarks, and Danny’s no exception.
Sam’s in better physical shape than Danny, but she’s also smart enough to know that she has no business getting into a protracted fight with ghosts. Her Rage feat is more of a joke, as she’s shown to be quite strong when someone, often Danny, gets her riled, while her Super-Strength lets her do things like dent lockers and crush fast-food napkin dispensers with alarming ease when she’s “simmering with resentment.”
Sam’s fiercely independent, and doesn’t hesitate to mock mainstream culture and values. Hence, a far better than average Will save for a teenager.
I figure since Sam considered them “really cool techno-goth earrings,” she’s still got the Fenton ‘Phones that Danny gave her during an trip to the Ghost Zone to try and map it out. All they do is block any sound-based powers that have a ghostly origin, namely Ember’s Mind Control power. She might occasionally have other bits of Fenton ghost-hunting gear, but that would be more on a case-by-case basis.

Notes
Danny’s long-time buddy and geek-extraordinaire, Tucker Foley is certainly an odd one. And this is including the fact he hangs around with a half-ghost.
Tucker’s love for all things high-tech could nearly be categorized as a fetish, and is never without some form of technology on his person or within his immediate grasp.
Tucker has a highly-honed meat sense, supposedly due to years of an all-meat diet. He also never stops talking unless forcibly silenced, so I gave him the Distract and Fascinate feats to reflect how his constant chattering can sometimes affect others; Sam and Danny have pretty much learned to tune their friend out. Except when he starts singing, since the boy couldn’t carry a tune if his life depended on it.
In spite of his brains, Tucker is sorely lacking in common sense, hence the low Wisdom score and Will save bonus.

Update 8/12: While working on my Ron Stoppable build, I came across a few things that would work for Tucker as well.

Notes
Another cartoon hero, this time the indomitable Kim Possible. She’s a very competent martial artist with the skill set of a junior secret agent. And in her series, as a perfectly-balanced PL 8 she’s quite capable of dealing with just about anything that gets thrown her way, especially the less-than-stellar plans of her various foes, who all seem to have never read any of the “Evil Overlord” lists.
Kim can manipulate her damage and defense bonuses as needed without sacrificing too much in the way of accuracy, though a solid brick is going to give her a lot of trouble. She’s also quite athletic, and should be making frequent use of Acrobatic Bluff to set-up a tougher opponent for a well-placed attack.
She’s pretty frail if caught flat-footed, as she relies heavily on attack avoidance. But between her Notice and Sense Motive skills, getting the drop on her isn’t easy.
The only two pieces of high tech gear I gave Kim is her grapple gun and the Kimmunicator, which is really just a fancy PDA that doubles as a vid-phone to speak with Wade. The other 10 points should be filled out on a mission-by-mission basis.

I like tha Kim Possible build darlin'. Ya wanna do tha gals from Totally Spys?

[Taliesin]

Some nice stuff here! And I recognize a good deal of them, too! I don't feel so old now.

That's a very clean, archetypal Superman...puts me in the mind of Centurion from Freedom City.

Hope this thread takes off like your video game thread!

Why thank you.

I might consider it, as they'd be pretty easy from what little I've seen of the show; pretty much PL 6 versions of Kim with a greater emphasis on gadgets. Also, I haven't forgotten a request you made in the anime thread for the boys of Gundam Wing. No idea when I'll get to them, but they're on my "to-do" list.

Side Note: I want to finish up a couple more KP builds, namely Shego and Dr. Drakken, then I've got what might be a fun idea for a fight, something that's been brewing in my little noggin ever since a friend sent me a link to a fan-video on YouTube.
