From the underworld film series, I chose to build Selene as she was for the majority of the films, and based her complications on the start of the first film. following the first film, replace kraven with vampires, add the word renegade to her reputation, her responsibility to micheal corvin, and lose the hatred

yes, i know it's Kate Beckinsale in a leather/vinyl catsuit, but in the film, Selene has like rock-bottom charisma, relying on intimidate to take the offensive in interactions

UPDATE: having been reminded of just how sucky underworld's vampire template was, Selene has been subjcted to major revisions. she now has a con score, meets her damage caps via favored enemy, and her regeneration now lets her recover quickly from things like car crashes or exposure to sunlight.

Gotta admit, I've never liked the whole 'no Con score' thing for most undead. Skeletons and zombies, sure, but if they have some sort of 'biology,' involving the necessity of consuming stuff (blood, flesh, souls for my lord Arioch, whuteva), are affected by poisons, etc, etc. then they should have a Con score, IMO.

Sure, it's not technically correct to call the bodily processes of a bloodsucking corpse 'biology,' but they seem to follow the same sorts of rules, unlike, say, a brick or a clump of mud, which doesn't have 'body' that ingests 'food' to survive or suffers various physical symptoms from things like blood-borne diseases or bright sunlight or mustard gas.

As for the specific write-up, I might consider tossing on 1 pp worth of Speed. She seemed to be able to book when she set her mind to it.

What is 'Super-Movement (Slow Movement?).' Slow Fall, perhaps?

From the 90's Iron Man cartoon, Hypnotia, as far as I can tell, is a wholly original character that serves as eye-candy for the villain side and is the prerequisite mind-control character

i figure dex 24 covers things nicely regarding swift escapes, and yes, it was supposed to be slow fall (since edited in the original document).

as for undervamps and con scores, well, in addition to feeding, they suffer effects we'd recognize as fort saves (pain, sleep, fatigue, blood loss, getting kicked in the nads, etc...).

and, while i've read the book, i'm going to watch the movie before statting marcus and maybe william.

it's been a very long time, but once again, it's one of the heros from Astro City.

the early skills of daredevil, the ego of darkwing duck, a touch of the master of disguise archetype and a dash of bruce campbell are what's needed to RP crackerjack, so go wild with witty banter, lame jokes, and hitting on any noticably attractive woman. in short, if you're annoying the other players, then you're playing crackerjack properly

with a callsign like that, it's only natural that Swordsman's built around his gimmick. thus, while this builds reps him shortly before his death, Swordsman can play both sides of the feild.

There's a monster in your chest. These guys hijacked your ship, and they sold your cryo tube to this... human. And he put an alien inside of you. It's a really nasty one. And in a few hours it will burst its way through your ribcage. And you're gonna die. Any questions?
