Take your time,. There was supposed to be a smiley on that...work comes first.

[MorningKnight]

Yeah, well, you notice how many builds I've done... my builds have been my break from writing. *flop*

[Arthur Eld]

The newest additions to the BoA look great Jack!

A little while ago you said you'd be working on filling out the characters on your first page. In that case, may I humbly suggest the Crays?

[JackGiantkiller]

I'll see what I can do. Be tomorrow at the earliest. I'm dead tired. Just wrapped up a four year long LARP on Saturday...still recovering.

[Libra]

Keep up the good work Jack Giant-Killer!

Dr. Basil Cray was the first in the family to become involved in the project that bears his family name. He and his wife had identified certain unusual gene markers (his wife was a biologist) in his famly line. Extensive research lead him to believe they had discovered the gene complex that governs metahuman expression in response to stress.

Unbeknownst to him, certain extreme elements in the US government agreed, and wished to harness dependable metahuman expression for military applications. Though Project Courage had success on a number of occasions, only 3% of applicants ever developed powers in that Project. Project Moreau had proven unreliable…the animals were uncertain in their loyalty to their human masters. So the Cray’s research was seen as a godsend.

While working on a focused radiation emitter, tunable to activate methahuman genes selectively (theoretically), Basil Cray was ‘accidently’ trapped in the firing chamber when it went off…at 400% intended power. He almost died, but when he came out of a three day coma, he had developed a radioactive aura he couldn’t turn off, and the ability to emit that radiation from his eyes, and focus it tightly to repulse attacks. They had allowed his wife to visit him, twice…she died the day after he woke up, from severe radiation poisoning.

Basil Cray died with her, and the Basilisk was born. He has only been seen a few times since then, always under enigmatic circumstances. His four children miss him horribly…especially as they have been inducted into the program themselves.

See the entries for Thrasher, Nyx, Eerie, and Witchlight for more information.

The Basilisk wears a green bodysuit under a white lab coat. He is bald, and his skin is slightly mottled. There is no visible evidence of the deadly aura that prevents him from human contact.

edit: Fixed the Death Gaze AP structure...the area effect blast can't be higher than 10, as he's only PL 10. Also, added in the damage stats in the combat section.

[Arthur Eld]

A brain and a blaster, wow, Basilik is nasty. And because his powers are Fort based, they're even more dangerous, because very few characters have Impervious Fort saves. In a PL 12 campaign, 13 (or higher) Imp Protection wouldn't be so surprising, but he blows right through that.

[MorningKnight]

Did anyone catch Azim's secret? or care? Or was it only clever to me?:)

I love seeing Set as a good guy, a victim of a smear campaign by Apophis.

This is a very cool hero.

[JackGiantkiller]

Thanks for the praise, Eld, MK. And Set, I mean, Azim is one of my favorites as well.

Nichole is sixteen. She is, in many ways, a typical 16 year old. She watches tv. She reads glamour mags. She enjoys pop music, especially pop that considers itself alternative, but really isn’t.

She’s also stunningly attractive. At 5’0” even, with long black hair, pale skin, a clear complexion, and soulful black eyes, she’s a goth’s dream of perfection. She’s even just a touch too thin. Of course, she isn’t a Goth. She’s far more mainstream, more’s the pity.

Not that she gets the chance to be normal, these days. Her schooling continues by tutor, because she’s a ward of the state, part of the Cray Metahuman
Harness Project. And that means she doesn’t have a life. She resists the training, though, and dreams of breaking free…her innate respect for authority prevents her, unless her father reappears. Witchlight is her twin sister.

The Blacklight radiance that Nyx wields can destroy nearly anything, and reconsitute it…some believe that’s what she actually does when teleporting herself and others…but if so, what holds them together enroute?

Her darkness can also be used to cause normal darkness, cold, fear, and to manipulate objects with phenomenal strength.

[MorningKnight]

The Cray family just keeps getting better and better.

Nyx has the potential to be either a dangerous hero or a tragic outcast.

And with a little experience, she's easily going to become a power to be contended with. She's going to be a huge prize for any mastermind looking for a living engine of destruction.

[Arthur Eld]

Nyx is great, Jack. A solid PL 10 that still says 'relatively inexperienced' with massively expensive powers, conditional combat feats and the like.

The Cray family just keeps getting better and better.
