Character #200 is Planetary’s own Elijah Snow. (I have to admit, his name alone is reason enough for me to build him) He’s a deceptively powerful character. Sure he can cause all manner of cold related weather conditions around him easily, however that not how he fights. He’ll use his corrosion alternate power to flash freeze and smash any person or object that he’s attacking. And given his ungodly defense bonus most foes will be hard pressed to lay a single finger on him. For all that power I did make him surprisingly easy to lay out. If you can get initiative before him (or feint past his crazy sense motive score) his defense drops like a rock, as does his toughness save. However most foes won’t get that chance against him. All they’ll get is an icy hand upside the head.

Tonight I bring you Gen 13’s lovely leader, and one of Wildstorm's hawt amazon girls, Fairchild. As far as raw power goes Caitlin leaves the rest of Gen 13 in the dust. Her physical abilities are just that good. She’s also a genius, go figure. She’s got a reputation for being able to slug it out with some of the meanest hombres the Wildstorm Universe has to offer, to allow her to do that and keep a decent defense bonus she has Ultimate Toughness save. That should guarantee at least one or two rounds fighting out of her league. Even when you put all that aside she’s also a pretty good leader. She’s the only one of the three Gen 13 members who got a lot of face time I would give Teamwork too. Burnout and Rainmaker will have teamwork, but that’s because they’re usually in the background, Fairchild has it because it’s in her nature.

The winner of Who Wants to be a Superhero it’s Feedback. Matthew is a fun little build. Essentially he exists to emulate whatever video game strikes the player’s or GM’s fancy. He’ll develop an energy Whip after playing Castlevania, he’ll throw fireballs and grow in size after playing Super Mario Brothers, and of course a lot of deflection after playing Pong.

Since he got his class change and became a Knight Fighter has displayed some super human swordplay powers. His ability to create a sonic boom by swinging his swords, and his ability to deflect incoming attacks. Fighter is an idiot. Easily duped and mislead. However he occasionally has moments of brilliant insight. That’s when his unreliable enhanced abilities come into play. Fighter is extremely resilient, able to shrug off Black Mage’s repeated attempts to stab him, and to fight even the most dangerous of foes. Of course most foes that he fights are too dumb to realize they should do something besides pound blindly on his armored hide.

Here’s another Gen 13 member, fan favorite, Freefall. She’s your basic energy controller with enough power to put a hurt on a foe quickly. She also has a psychic link with her half-sister Fairchild. And of course she has Queelocke, a nasty little space rat / mascot.

Golden Boy
“STUDYSTUDYSTUDYSTUDYSTUDY…”

After completing all the requisite courses for a law degree from Tokyo University, Kintaro Oe, 25, set off to study the world. With his trusty bike, the Mikazuki 5, and a knack for cleaning toilets, is Kintaro Oe destined to save the world, or is he destined to get killed lusting after women?

Complications: Accident (Embarrassment), Honor, Obsession (Toilets)

What can I say I like Golden Boy, nowhere has a pervert been more lovable. I tried to make Kintaro a low PL skill machine. Kintaro would spend most of his hero points on Beginners luck and on increasing the ranks of his device (seriously how else is a mountain bike going to be a motorcycle in a race?) The flaw on Kintaro’s Enhanced Charisma just boils down to the fact that women are slavishly devoted to him… After they’ve treated him like crap for half an hour and he’s ridden off into the sunset.

I know it’s been requested a lot but I decided to do some more Wildstorm characters. In this case everyone’s favorite super powered slacker, Grunge. Even without his powers he’d make a decent martial artists, but having access to object mimicry allows him to shore up a few of his weaknesses. In all he’s a pretty straight forward build. He’s got the feats to be a pain in melee combat, but he doesn’t like using his object mimicry, he’s got too much pride. That complication is usually enough to earn him an extra HP.

Hellboy

PL: 10 (150pp)

Abilities: STR: 26 (+8) DEX: 16 (+3) CON: 26 (+8) INT: 16 (+3) WIS: 14 (+2) CHA: 12 (+1)

Drawbacks: Disability [Unable to perform fine manipulation with right hand; 1pp]

Abilities 50 + Skills 15 (60 Ranks) + Feats 12 + Powers 40 + Combat 24 + Saves 10 – Drawbacks 1 = 150pp

As per request (see I still do requests) it’s Hellboy. When you realize the rest of the BPRD are at most PL 8 Hellboy becomes a bruiser of the highest order. In melee he wields his right hand like a sledgehammer. Of his powers I think that Strike and shield best demonstrate how he uses the right hand of doom in combat. In ranged combat he’s got his big gun, I figure it required the device power if only because of it’s construction and the type of rounds it fires, giving it the holy and ballistic descriptors. Of course he also has outstanding knowledge of the arcane world, and access to magical trinkets that can provide small bursts of power for the clever GM or player.

Abilities 14 + Skills 8 (32 Ranks) + Feats 5 + Powers 88 + Combat 40 + Saves 10 – Drawbacks 0 = 165pp

Invincible isn’t the type of character who really jumps out and looks impressive based on the numbers. Really it’s Mark’s everyday life and his humanity who makes him a compelling character. As such he’s a variation on the paragon archetype. I decided against giving him a increased toughness save. Now if I were to stat up Mark’s father he’d certainly be PL 15 I felt more comfortable going with the enhanced constitution route as opposed to protection because Invincible exists in a universe removed from the DC universe and thus he doesn’t need to conform to the standards I set out with Superman.

Jakita is the muscle of the Planetary Group. She’s built for brawling, not necessarily for finesse. She can lift nearly 800 tons without having to break a sweat, she moves at twenty five miles an hour without effort, and can leap 975 feet with a running start. For all her muscle she really has some tricks up her sleeve. She can inspire up to three people, demoralize foes, and if she's fighting someone attracted to her she can fient anyone out of their pants. Caught flat footed she can power attack targets nice and hard. Throw in her super senses and she’s essentially golden age Supes.

Complications: Accident, Obsession, Prejudice, Responsibility, Rivalry

Behold Keitaro! He’s the man whose luck runs hotter and colder than any other man alive. I’m a huge Love Hina fan and I always thought Keitaro with his ability to absorb untold amounts of punishment would make a zany NPC. Every day of his life should be FILLED with complications. As a result, Keitaro should always come equipped with tons of hero points. His Protection does nothing to prevent knock back, and he suffers 200% normal knock back meaning that Keitaro goes flying at the lightest tap. For as the Former President of the Syracuse University Anime Club once told me “If NASA ever got their hands on Keitaro we’d be on Mars already.”

Sin City’s own Kevin. I built Kevin specifically to fight Marv. As such he has one power level on the lug (like most good Street Level Villains should), and he’s built to be nasty. He’ll rely on improved defense and defensive attack most often in combat, keeping himself out of reach of most average foes. Against tougher foes (like Marv) he’ll use stealth, crazy initative, and acrobatic bluff to catch his foes flat-footed and put a foe in damage save trouble quickly with Sneak attack. And if that fails he can always call on his pet wolf for a bit of help.

I like God of War, what can I say. Frankly Kratos is one bad dude and could give some of the other iconic characters I’ve stated up thus far a run for their collective money. I built most of Kratos’ magic with flaws so he wouldn’t rely on it too often. The spells are as follows Poseidon’s Rage (Tiring Burst Mystic Blast 10), Medusa’s Gaze (Sense Dependent Transform [Flesh to stone] 10), Zeus’ Fury (Auto-Fire Lightning Blast 6), Army of Hades (Fading Concentration Duration Cloud Blast 6), Blade of Artemis (Penetrating Strike 10). For completeness I also added the trident of Poseidon which allows the character to swim like nobody’s business. Also check out Ultimate Grapple check. It’s what allows Kratos to tangle with minotaurs, and hydras in grappling situations and come out on top.

I’ve spent far too much time playing Resident Evil 4 the past couple of days. So what we have here is Leon at he start of Resident Evil 4. It saves me having to give him a giant pile of weapons and addressing them all. Leon’s saves may looks a little low, but when you realize that he deals almost entirely with conventional attacks they prove to be just good enough to make things interesting. Improvise Tools lets him make medicine checks without the proper equipment [say mixing herbs], while Interpose will let him act as a shield for Ashley. If I were to place Leon later in the game he would have a higher PL and would carry many many more weapons and have a much better toughness save [if only because of the tactical vest]. The Slowfall was a private joke, just my reaction from Leon jumping off of the top of the tower down like 50 feet and walking away fine, if we were playing Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake would have broken both his legs.

So I was building another Street-Level hero, he was going to be named “Brute” Brian Cohen. Halfway through the build I realized I was building Sin City’s own Marv. So to that end I decided to change gears entirely and just post Marv. He’s a monster for a PL 6 character. He uses his big fists and gun to put the hurt on anyone who gets in his way. At the same time his insane toughness save lets his soak up absurd damage in a Street-Level game… and naturally his Ultimate Toughness save allows him to pull off stunning feats of endurance.
