This is a test character, built to find the pitfalls or workability of extreme trade-offs. Interestingly, it seems to model the concept really well. The Aged Master doesn't hit hard, but he always hits, he tosses bruisers around as if they were powder-puffs (high grapple, improved Throw. He's almost unhittable, but if you hit him, he'll crumble... his bones are old and brittle, and he can't roll with the punches like he used to. (I assumed that at one point, at his peak, the Aged Master was more like PL 15, with +5 Defensive Roll, +5 on the strike power, etc.

He can still do respectable damage (especially considering penetrating) by use of power attack, and with a critical.

Fusillade, aka James Danvers, was only a middling scientist. He was clever but not brilliant. Diligent enough...without being dedicated. He spent more time in the gym, honestly, chasing his glory days, when he was a high school gymnastics star. He could have gone to the Olympics...if he'd just had some ambition.

Then, one day at the lab, he was caught in an 'accidental' energy fluctuation from a nearby experimental quantum flux unit. Afterward, he found himself able to emit concentrated blasts from his hands...rapid fire coherent energy packets that would follow his targets, blow through armor as if it wasn't there, and even disrupt other energy fields it passed through. Their color depends on his mood, but they are generally red, because he doesn't use his blasts much unless he is angry or agitated.

As it turns out, the 'accident' was arranged by his boss, who needed a human test subject, and thought: 'Danvers is pretty useless. Let's use him.'

Since then, he has wavered...he has great power: he's not sure whether to exploit it, or use his powers for the common good. Fusillade could be either hero or villain..if his boss doesn't have specific plans.

Fusillade's powers are fueled by solar energy. If he is kept out of sunlight for a full day, he is powerless.

Suffragette is a women's rights advocate granted great strength and combat savvy by her beliefs. She hits hard, takes a hit well, and swats away bullets with her hands.


I made this after Random 221B's thread inspired another Wonder Woman knock-off. A heroic one this time.

Think of her as a kind of Wonder Girl to Lady Liberty's Wonder Woman.

Savage is an atavism. He may be a mutant, or simply a feral child left to grow up alone in the concrete jungle...he's an urban Tarzan, tough, agile and mean. Whether he is hero or villain will depend greatly on the circumstances of his exposure to human society. Conceptually, he has spent 30 plus years in an alternate dimension known only as the City, where man has devolved and lives in the ruins of his once great metropolis.

I really seem to have a thing for feral scrapper types.

edit: I made him more Tarzan, less generic scrapper, by giving him a knife and taking away his claws. He really got a total overhaul, and now actually follows the rules...

Hazard is a poor woman's Daredevil, a PC in my Barrow game. Blind from birth, she has been trained to compensate (and *overcompensate*) for her disability by the Aged Master (see above). How many super heroes do you know of that get a social security disability check?

She wields a weighted chain that she uses as bolos, as a melee weapon, and for swinging. Her combat style relies heavily on using it to trip, grapple, and disarm her enemies.

Description:

Maelstrom is the battle leader of an eco-terrorist and ‘hero’ group called the Wild Hunt. All of the members were given their powers, the powers of ancient and vanished gods, by the mother Goddess Danu, the progenitor of the gods of the Celts, during a camping trip in the mountains. Several of them were members of a rock band that performed in Athens and Atlanta. Maelstrom sang lead. The band, humorously enough, was also called the Wild Hunt, which may well be what attracted the attention of the gods.

While the other members of the group do indeed include a fire controller (Beltane, Lady Salamander), an earth elementalist (the Geomancer, aka the Gnome), a water user (originally Naiad, later replaced by Tsunami) and a telepath/empathic healer (Mercy) they were originally created back in 1989, before Captain Planet. Wylde, a forest elemental, came later.

Their base was in the North Georgia mountains, with a magical channel created by the Geomancer that let them out under Stone Mountain. (in the Atlanta Metro area)

Maelstrom is a trained and experienced anti-hero, near the top end of the power spectrum in my world. He only meets his offensive caps in melee with a sword, and either raging or sneak attacking. He meets his defensive caps with fancy footwork (Defensive roll) as his Impervious Toughness, while impressive, caps out at +10. He pretty much ignores any weapon less potent than a rocket launcher, but the big stuff requires him to try to evade. He’s strong, with a max load near 50 tons…100 tons with extra effort. He’s basically a lot like Thor, without the total dependency on an item for non-physical power.

He and the Wild Hunt intervene for global and environmental threats, not local criminals…they also ignore mundane laws completely if they would get in the way. They regularly destroy large amounts of industrial equipment and facilities, then clean up the environmental damages caused by them. They generally try to avoid loss of human life, but are not particularly upset if some polluter or exploiter gets caught in (for instance) the strip mine Geomancer just folded over with an avalanche of earth.

Maelstrom has 4 Hero Points at the start of any session, and uses them mostly for Leadership and Inspiration…but isn’t afraid to power stunt an electrical aura or other weather effect.


Evan Scarborough, btw, is 6'4" tall, about 320 lbs, these days. His hair is blue black, long, usually tied back in a braid, and his eyes are a stormy gray blue shot through with silver veins, like lightning. He wears, generally, a black biker vest with a dark blue chaos symbol on the back, leather breeches, motorcycle boots, and a military issue or swat equipment belt. His great bastard sword, Caladbolg (it means Hard Lightning…it isn’t the original)is most often held loosely in one hand. His skin is a deep, slightly reddish tan, and his mixed heritage as Celtic on one side and Native American on the other is obvious.

Edit: Major re-write. Maelstrom is one of my big guns, a favored and long running character, and I wanted him to have the benefit of my increased statting skills. Dang I want a pic…

Mercy is the Wild Hunt’s healer, telepath and diplomat. She’s pureblooded Irish…and despite her name and power set, she’s got a vicious temper, and can be as ruthless as any of the others.

Her big punch is the Mental Blast. In melee, she doesn’t come any where near her caps…and her toughness is seriously impaired any time she’s healing. I realize having Protection, a Permanent power, as an AP isn’t quite kosher, but the idea is she doesn’t have her protection at all while she’s healing…and it isn’t actually a force field. She doesn’t have to concentrate on it. It just can’t be used while she’s healing.

On the other hand, her abilities as a healer make her invaluable to the team, her mental blast makes her someone to reckon with in combat, and she’s far more resistant to non combat effects than the rest of the team. She will almost always be clear headed, and able to fix their problems.

She is, by the way, a tallish (5'8") redhead, with green eyes, and lightly freckled pale skin. She wears a white armored jumpsuit with a stylized red hand on her left breast. Her quarterstaff collapses into a hand sized rod for easy carry in her red utility belt. She wears red boots, folded over at the knee, and red gloves, folded at the wrist. She sometimes adds a red, hip length vest or jacket.

Geomancer is the Wild Hunt’s earth elemental, blessed with near total control over the earth and the spirits thereof. He’s nigh invulnerable, simply immune to a host of perils (as his body has been permanently imbued with the endurance and energy of the earth itself) and his offensive power is staggering.

He is, in many ways, the most powerful member of the team… but since he can only do one trick at a time with his Earth Control, he comes in at less points.
He tends to stay close to Mercy, and protects her from harm, almost obsessively.

He used his powers to delve and build the team’s HQ, and to burrow the tunnel between the HQ and Stone Mountain.

He wears a bodysuit of many shades of brown, with dark brown boots, utility belt, and vest…much like Mercy.

He hits his defensive caps only when at full density, and his offensive caps only with his earth blast, while touching the ground.

Wylde joined the Wild Hunt later in its history…no one knows where he came from (not even him). He seems to be a classic ‘Green Man’ or wood sprite: He’s feral and fey, somewhat alien in outlook, and he has power over both the plants and animals of the natural world.

He looks like a bark-fleshed humanoid, dark brown of skin. His eyes are deep and lambent green, devoid entirely of white or pupil. His hair, if it can be called that, is a tangled mass of foliage, vines, and leaves that shifts constantly under its own power. It is this shifting foliage that, working with the rootlets of his hands and feet, allows him to scale buildings and traverse distances, the vines and leaves curling around things and grasping them to swing him along or pull him up.

In battle, he lashes out with his wooden claws, or slashes with sharp edged leaves in his hair. He only hits his caps offensively if raging, but can open himself up to attack in order to hit better, or reduce his accuracy to do more damage…or both. When damaged (not an easy task in and of itself) he can take a few moments and draw the healing power of the Wild into himself.

In short, Wylde is a creature of awesome power, and enormous flexibility, hampered by his feral mindset and chaotic approach to tactics.

Tsunami, also known as James Perry Toranaga was also a later addition to the Wild Hunt. After the original water elemental, Naiad, left the team to travel through the oceans of a dozen worlds, this cursed young man took her place.

‘Blessed’ by the ocean god Susano-O with the might of all the world’s waters, he is cursed as well, for he may never return to human form. He is an 8’ tall, 1100 lb behemoth made of shifting water, in multiple shades and colors…every color of sea and stream in the world. His ‘skin’ seems firm enough, and he can generally act as if he were solid…but he is no longer human, no longer flesh. His amorphous form makes him nearly impossible to hurt…blunt trauma does literally nothing, and everything else, well, it has to be world-shattering. He strikes with the force of his namesake.

He’s right at his caps, all around, at least unarmed.

Judas Barrister is three kinds of monster:
One, he’s a lawyer. Specializes in high profile criminal defense.
Two, he’s secretly a crime lord.
Three, he’s even more secretly a vampire.
He owns a lot of people, and has friends in strange places. He’s nearly untouchable, within the law, and knows almost everything that happens in Barrow.
He’s about 5’11”, 200 lbs, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He’s extremely attractive, and knows it. He has an ever so slight British accent.

He’s no slouch in a fight, but planning and masterminding are his forte, and he’s nearly never unprepared, or unguarded. Lonesome and Weeper are two of his most common underlings.

Professor Miles Sterling is a helpful ‘wizard’, masquerading as a simple scholar. He believes he has learned Barrow’s secret, but he has only scratched the surface. He’s the one who has brought the dysfunctional heroes of Barrow together.

He doesn’t even approach his caps in combat until he uses a ritual or crafts an artifact to suit the situation. However, he’s right at his skill caps in many knowledges.

note that while he has comprehend, his Language skills represent the languages he still speaks if someone supresses his translation magic.

A while back, someone asked me to stat up an undead Joker. Here he is. He’s a flesh eating ghoul, tough as nails and still bugnuts. He’s got his classic joker venom, and his acid squirting flower (takes some attention to aim it), and unlike some versions of the Joker, this one has a madman’s strength (represented by Rage). His Regeneration is nothing to write home about, except that it will resurrect him one week later no matter what. Technically, there has to be a way to kill him permanently…I’d vote for burying him face down under a comedy club or something.

On a lark, I decided to make him a balanced PL11. He meets his offensive caps by raging, sneak attacking, and fighting costumed adventurers. He’s a bit shy on his defensive caps, without an invention or other field leveler. But since he’ll be back later, no matter what, he’s a very useful villain.


Thanks to Baron and MD Snowman and others…I looked at your builds before doing this one.

Pinball is kinetic frenetic energy in an adolescent package. She runs at 2500 miles an hour, bounces like a superball, climbs and swings like Spiderman. She’s completely immune to blunt trauma and impact damage, and can roll with the blow on most anything else that actually hits her. When she really wants to mess someone up, she slams them, for up to +12 damage (dc 27). She herself takes nothing, because its blunt trauma. However, she gets knocked back more than twice as far by any attack, and bounces a very long way when she hits someone Immovable. In addition, she eats about 8 times a day, each time more at one sitting than a normal human, and requires special supplements.

What most people don’t realize is that she’s blind. She’s a mutant, and her eyes were formed without pupils or iris. No light gets in. But her innate sense of her surroundings is astonishing. It’s as if she just knows, with no reasonable explanation, where everything is, how far it all is apart (down to the nanometer) and exactly how long it will take to get there. In practice, this makes it impossible for her to read normal print (although she can read raised letters, read Braille by sight, and things like that) watch TV, read a computer screen, or distinguish colors. On the plus side, she’s never affected by environmental concealment or darkness. Psychic static, on the other hand, can blind her…apparently she sees by some sort of localized clairvoyance.

Her armored jumpsuit is silver in color, and as such, matches her hair and eyes.

She's a member of Mag7. In many ways, she's the mascot and comedy relief, much like Flash and Spiderman rolled into one. She's also a recent graduate of the Dare Institute, a school for metahumans in (you guessed it) upstate New York.

She scatters the caltrops behind her fairly rarely...more often she throws them, with her Rapid Fire ability.
