Blade's Builds - Fun with Symbiotes...

[Bladewind]

Thank you !

I enjoy posting my little corner of the MnM Universe and am glad to see others like it too.

I'm currently working on two conversions of PCs from an old Spycraft/ D20 game (and one more, created in the same vein). Should have them posted tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

I've chosen to forgo pictures for the MJ23 agents, at least for now. The casting Call for White Knight is Diane Lane.

Linda Celenza was a character in a hybrid D20 game played by my sig other. By Hybrid, I mean a blend of several D20 products. She’s been converted to MnM.

Visit www.beasthold.org for the original campaign. She’s from the Regional Campaigns, specifically Forging Day.

Majestic 23 very much resembles the M.I.B. from the movies and popular culture, having their own rival organizations and priorities.

The basis of this build was the SWAT Officer and the Government Agent from the Core Rulebook built up together to PL 8 and worked from there rather than any attempt to convert the Faceman and Soldier classes from Spycraft.

For some reason, I was flipping through Masterminds Manual as I was building these and decided that it’d fit the concept to give each agent access to a fighting style. Akido fit the way that Linda was played.

I always found it odd, that of all the agents that were created between the two games, no one really referred to Linda as White Knight. All other agents went by their code-names. White Knight was most often referred to as Linda. IT may have had something to do with the fact that a standard issue weapon was the LINDA pistol…

I toyed with gadgets to represent the array of gadgetry available in a superspy game but decided against it. Likewise, her weapons are equipment rather than devices (even if the LINDA pistol should technically be a device).[/img]

Mouse's casting call is Kate Winslet. Her online persona resembles Mouse from the animated series Reboot.

Created for a spin-off game of the one noted above for White Knight, Mouse was part of a Majestic 23 game where the world hadn’t quite gone to heck in a hand basket and was still around as we know it – the mythological stuff was just a lot more real than most people realized.

Mouse is built the same way as White Knight – as a concept in MnM rather than a conversion. She had levels in Snoop, Fixer from Spycraft and also of Shadowjack from Urban Arcana. (Linda was a Pointman with levels of Psychic Warrior.)

Mouse is everything that you expect – shy, introverted and reserved. And yet an essential component to the function of any computer. My favorite session where Mouse showed her stuff was when the three ladies of the team decided to spoof the armory as a diversion. They felt it was a lark to see if they could get extra equipment. Mouse did it for the thrill. The role-playing and rolls were so spectacular that Control deemed it to be the first success in a generation…

Mouse would be a good candidate for the Gadgets power, the related comment about White Knight notwithstanding.

Oddly, another of my sig other’s characters. My agents somehow came across as far more… generic.

Mouse’s fighting style is Krav Maga, a direct and deliberate diversion from her mousy concept. There’s nothing showy about her fighting. When she has to, she’ll take you down.

Three points left. Was toying with some kind of Enhanced Feats limited to when online, but haven’t figured out what I want yet… However, I may borrow from Taliesin’s Oracle build and incorporate Challenges into this build. (Mainly Hide Tampering and Discrete Inquiry.)

Faircastle was a total lark to create. I’m curious to see if anybody can figure out who I “patterned” her off of. Mind you, “pattern” is the key word. Her powers have been developed to both spoof and honor several portrayals of the character in film as well as to make her a more fun build.

The subtle on her comprehend represent an ability to speak with animals in her own language.

Animals love her, and although she has control over them, she doesn’t exert it – it just seems to flow naturally. The morph ability is that no animal that approaches Faircastle is ever ugly…

Faircastle is the only one of the three agents I’ve posted so far that doesn’t have a combat style. It just doesn’t fit the character. (Doesn’t mean she can’t fight though…)

Adriana Caselotti is the name I would give this agent as her everyday name. However, MJ23 tend to have “unassuming” names. She thus shortens/ alters it to Diana Castle. (There’s a big hint in there as to the character’s “true identity”.)

Listing her archenemy would spoil the punch of the character’s origin, so I’ll leave it out. Same for her background, but assume that she’s some three hundred years old.

The last of my aliens, save perhaps the eggs and HQ, the worker serves one purpose. And that is to create the hive. They are responsible for all the sticky goo that accompanies the Drones and Praetors and at least one will be present along any grouping.

I toyed with ways to reduce stats to increase the resin making ability, but then I figured that if I present a few of them, then they can increase productivity easily enough.

Otherwise, nothing spectacular to these builds that hasn’t been covered in the notes on the other aliens…

Russian super-soldier, fought Firestorm and I don’t think I’ve really seen him outside of that title…

In the Bladeverse, Steel Wolf is a part of the same organization (The Omega Protocols) that created other Russian metahumans. These include Cythonna, Red Star, Omega Red and others…

I suppose that he could fit into a MJ23 campaign with some tweaks...

Chase Manhattan, yet another member of Majestic 23. I built her with gadgets, then decided against it. She’ll transform any item in her hands into something sleeker and more efficient, this making it the gadget she desires.

Chase is a Wheelman/ Soldier in terms of her Spycraft stats. The cyberpathy represented above wasn’t present in the game where she was played, but represent well her love of gadgetry and fits more with the other agents that I’ve posted.

I actually managed to fit three fighting styles into her creation: Fencing, Boxing and Escrima.

There isn’t a whole heckuvalot out there on Laurel Kent – she was supposedly invulnerable and strong. And she was the last of the Manhunters. I took this premise and built on it somewhat.

Her Absorption and Drain come in a 3 points per rank. She can essentially go toe-to-toe with any of the Lantern Corps and take their energy. She then can use that energy to fuel her blast power. The variable descriptor feat is used to send the blast up and down the visible spectrum – many GLs and other Lanterns being susceptible to the colour flaw of their rings… (Green vs Yellow, Yellow vs Blue, Red vs Purple...)

Her power source is Kryptonite. To simulate this, blow a HP to stunt Perception Range Damaged, with no save and limited to Kryptonians off of her Flight Array (Rank . Enough to give Supes pause I should think.

The LSH Flight Ring is a stripped down version of Taliesin’s. I didn’t charge her for the Flight aspect as she can fly under her own power. It’s interesting to note that by her very descriptors that the LSH flight ring renders her team-mates concealed by their rings when they employ that function.

I’d accept the build as a PC seeing as how her “money-attack” is mostly effective against Ring Bearers… something that shouldn’t be present in every story and even when it is, it won’t be something that she will be broadcasting as an ability…

Absorption and her Toughness score flaunt the rules somewhat, but I houserule it into being acceptable. Her Absorption is rather limited and if she's in close contact with a Lantern she'll be attempting to drain his ring anyway.

Otherwise, simple enough variant on a Superman/ Paragon type.

Background-wise, I had a little fun here. I’m still fleshing it out, but Laurel is actually more likely “descended” from Hank Henshaw and Metallo than Clark Kent, despite the name reference.

Two complications on this one – Secret (Being a Manhunter) and Responsibility (Eradicating Fear and Anger)

Got triple whammied. 1st a Gastro. 2nd a Throat infection then the computer died.

Ack bad luck happens in threes so I should be back in action soon.

Actually, i've been working on putting a lot of the Bladeverse ideas into a coherent form that is now being put into computer format for posting purposes...

This write-up is based heavily on the www.writeups.org version as my Stormwatch comics are in a box under the bed.

I choose to make Stormwatch a more public (slightly more public anyway…) division of Majestic 23 in the Bladeverse. It is directly related to both MJ23 and to the UN, and Synergy is its most public member. The more generic term for Stormwatch is the Department of Metahuman Affairs.

standard MJ23 devices and feats, Krav Maga fighting style – taught to take her opponents down, not dance with them…

For those that know of Stormwatch, Synergy could activate that universe’s version of mutants, called “Seedlings.” In the Bladeverse, she has the same role, but “Seedling” also encompasses “mutant” and “metagene.” The three labels all reference the same phenomenon.

As an added twist, and a link to the involvement of Krypton (and other alien races) in Earth’s pre-history and history, she can also neutralize Kryptonian class powers. This will likely be with no save at no additional cost to the powers. This is a result of her neutralize power having the descriptor of “red stellar energy wavelength.” (Note, on my Bladeverse Supes build, I’ve removed the drawback and turned it into a complication, a norm I plan to follow for all Kryptonian class beings…)

Note that Synergy has “The Suit” in her devices, the same technology was also used to create her skin-tight uniform. As a further one-off from MJ23, despite her Erased Past, her current identity of Chris Trelane is a matter of public record. Her classified history indicates that she is the sister of Dr Janet Klyburn of STAR Labs.

Off of her super-senses, she can unerringly track a target virtually any distance… (Tele-location) This is an add-on to the character at my whim but I think it fits the concept.

Her Empowerment ability allows her to grant latent mutants/ metagene carriers temporary access to those powers. (An assumption of the Bladeverse is similar to DC metagene activation – often caused by a stressful external stimuli – Synergy can bypass that.) Although she can “only” grant 35 points of powers and even that only to one person at a time, assume that she can permanently activate any metahuman that the GM sees fit if she is being used an NPC. In combat situations, she does not choose what powers her subject acquires. (See the flaws –two flaws are combined to give a net –1 to the power cost. Those are that she affects only a limited amount of the population, and a variation on uncontrolled) As a PC, obviously she’d be restricted to the power as listed.

During the 80s, Jessica Drew (aka Spider Woman) was assigned the task of determining the identities of Nightwing and Daredevil.

She might very nearly have succeeded, as her primary choice of target was the then current Nightwing. At the time, Jessica also joined the NYPD as a detective (her credentials forged by S.H.I.E.L.D.). Tim Drake was also working through the GCPD at the time, using his influence as an officer to aid Daredevil and his own vigilante-alter-ego. As fate (and bad storytelling) would have it, Jessica and Tim started seeing each other.

Eventually, Spider Woman did discover the identity of Nightwing and by extension deduced many of identities of various New York based heroes including. As expected though, she refused to divulge that information. Jessica and Tim were eventually wed, and Jessica gave birth to a healthy baby girl in 1981,

Robyn grew up in relative normalcy, unaware of her parents’ alter-egos. And this despite the death of her mother when Robyn was five years old.

In high school, she excelled at gymnastics – her mother’s enhanced metabolism showing signs of having passed down. She also showed signs of a gifted intellect and took to many of her subjects with an ease that made her a top student and the envy of many others.

It was the emergence of some of her other powers that caused Robyn to question if she was a metahuman and eventually led to an admission by her father that her mother had not died in a shoot-out but at the hands of Lex Luthor and his allies.

Robyn also discovered to her dismay that her body exuded pheremones that she had little control over… however she also discovered her venom blast when one of her classmates was severely injured in a football game – she supplemented her own first aid skill with a light shock to the other teen’s heart and saved his life...

Her father never actually forbade her from becoming a superhero, and she soon fashioned hero own costume and identity, becoming the third Nightwing… She has since teamed up with Spiderman on occasion, and the two are becoming fast friends. Where this friednship will go is anybody's guess.

Update 08/08/06 – to reach caps in certain areas and smooth out the origin a little for a better fit into the Bladeverse. My original comments still stand... Some tweaks to the history above...

Update 08/08/07 – minor tweaks.

Update 08/08/09 – more minor tweaks. Gave her some goon-sweeping action…

I still don't really like the Pheremone Powers.... However, in light of her skills and her inventor power, I’m toying with an idea that she can create an odourless perfume to mask her pheremones… think neutralize. The drawback is meant to further reduce the cost on a power with limited advantages.

The gliding and leaping got separated. This was due to cost and level. I wanted to increase Leaping but not Flight speed. Flight also has a drawback – a zero point requirement to have her costume. Not warranted for point anot worth a complication… just flavour really.

I rank the cost of the Speed power at 0.5. It gets rounded up to a full four points for cost calculation purposes.

One other minor change - I dropped the rebreather froom her equipment, she has a cell-phone instead... she can blow a HP if she really needs the rebreather...

She still has Spidey’s web-shooters, or copies thereof. A change to the history is here. Spidey actually uses the movie history for his origins, with webshooters despite the movie version… Therefore he starts his career in the early 2000s… He gains his powers in a visit to STAR Labs where an attempt to replicate the powers of Spider Woman is underway… Her webshooters are easy to lose to indicate that she hasn’t mastered them as well as Pete has…

she is now over her PL 10/ 150 limits… this is the exact cost of the web shooters and ill be her primary requirement to pay-off with PP. And now she hits her caps a little better…

Keep up the good work Bladewind.

This is meant to be a quick interpretation of Tsunami from Young All Stars. Room for improvement. For instance, she doesn’t really hit her caps even though I left her at PL 10.

Her complication only works well in her time frame, as it’s tied to anti-Japanese sentiment.

Her write up is based on my old DC Who’s Who, Wiki and the DC Database Project (The last of which being the source of the picture.)

Protection isn’t something she’s known for, and neither is her immunity to pressure. However, you can’t have an Aquaman type and not have those aspects IMNSHO.

If you bring her to a modern campaign, her knowledge of current events becomes history (specifically WWII)

Cliché but she’s listed as being an expert hand-to-hand combatant. Astute observers will see the feat list for Aikido, Judo and Karate in her build. I chose those more out of theme for her than any solid evidence from the comics. The first two styles sort of flow like water and the last hits hard…

The Cartel is a rather odd name for a villain, I admit. However, it should be fairly obvious that none of the duplicates in this design actually refer to themselves as such. The idea behind this character is Jamie Madrox meets Mystique. The base being works for the Kingpin. It’s assumed that a position of greater power than underling could have been achieved by now, considering the immunity to aging… it’s even possible that such is already the case. However…

The individuals forming The Cartel provide a remarkably reliable information network,

This character hits only a few caps, and that’s by design. A few skills, and with equipment could probably hit a damage cap or two. But that’s really not the point.

The Horde extra is a workaround for the dupes to be able to “summon dupes” despite the rules constraint on dupes creating dupes…

The two metamorph feats are included because there is another Bladeverse Baddie that is actually “simply” a part of The Cartel despite a full fledged identity of his own. The other metamorph will be possibly be posted. It’s more of a fighter type, having PL 9/ 117 PP to play with… Given that the metamorphed character may likely have the morph power as well, the thug types might not all look alike…

Where The Cartel obtained an MJ23 IdentiCard is anyone’s guess. :evil grin: The fact that the duplication power extends to same is frightening…

The Cartel can show up on a regular basis, with specific identities recurring or always being the villain that seems to know far more than possible. He/She is meant as a foil to Nightwing (Robyn Drake), who is being set up to be the “Bat-god” of the Bladeverse, despite having a lot of work to get there yet…
