Today we sat down and created characters for a fantasy/steampunk/superhero campaign I plan to run with my usual group until the Heroes and Villains books come out. However long that is. We're having a lot of fun with these character concepts, so it'll probably outlive my original intentions.

First, we have Robert Huntington, who's a lot like Green Arrow. He moves in high society, though he's not as influential as someone like Bruce Wayne or Oliver Queen. When the night falls, however, he takes on the role of Thief-Taker and stalks the streets of his home city, using trick arrows and his incredible archery skills to fight for justice.

Next up is Joanna Fate, who goes by the street name of "Karma". We're still working on her back story, but she's basically a speedster/monk hybrid. Taking inspiration from Mirror's Edge, we made a character who sees things differently when she's in motion. Her fighting skills and movement abilities all improve when she's running. I'll try and update her background a bit when he gives me some more info. We usually don't put backgrounds or origins in stone until the second or third episode, to leave room for improvisation.

Conceived of courtesy of an anime-styled girl-with-big-sword image of unknown origin, this character has popped up in several games over the years. She wields a sword too big for her, and carries the burden of a tragic past on her shoulders as well. She has the strength to bear it, however, and a powerful drive to see justice done. Always seeking a way to clear her father's name, she wanders the world seeking her fortune as a Duelist and adventurer for hire.

Another character who has appeared in a few different iterations of the Mutants and Masterminds rules, G'Lain is a beautiful Dryad who has left her forest and trained her abilities to fight for the common good. She has made a deal to work with a noble king in exchange for the promise to continue protecting her treasured home forest.

Pulsar Punch: Damage 11, +9 (DC 26)

Throw, +2 (DC 27)
Unarmed, +8 (DC 27)

Complications
Accident: As a new hero, Viridian is still getting used to fighting and adventuring in a costume. She occasionally has Costume Malfunctions where, for example, her makeshift mask might fall over her eyes and block her vision. She'll get used to this soon enough, though, as long as she survives the experience...
Identity: Secret: Gina has crafted a "disguise" for her normal identity by starting to wear wigs in her daily life. The wigs have become a fun signature for her, and she keeps an array of them in different colors. It distracts people from noticing she shares many facial features with the new Superhero "Viridian"... for now...
Motivation: Upholding the Good: Gina belives she was given these powers to make the world a better place. She doesn't feel the responsibility as a burden, and she honestly enjoys doing good. The relief she feels at having a purpose in life is fantastic.

2/6/11 Updated Viridian after some thinking, and conferring with the Other players. I made her senses Sustained in duration and put them into an Array so she can switch out with different "Vision" powers. They cost her a Move action each round to maintain right now, but as she gets experience, she may buy that limitation off as "Practice" allows her to keep the effects up.

2/14/11 I updated Viridian's stats after the first session. Mainly I traded in two ranks of Int to bump up some skills and give her some more Advantages. It also represents how I wound up playing her as more of a 'Scrapper' and less of a 'Thinker'. Also, 2 experience! That went right into her Regeneration which bumped it up to a full 10 ranks.

Duplicat (3E Beta Version) - PL 11

You linked to this from another thread. I like the idea quite a bit, and would probably use an approach like this if and when I get around to it. A few questions:

• The "castling" ability seems unique to this character. Am I wrong about that? I don't generally think of duplication as carrying that kind of an effect.
• I'm going to have to think about how to simulate the idea of duplicates possibly being disposable and used as shields. It might be a flawed concealment or some version of the deflect power.

Overall, though, I think you get a lot of mileage out of Quickness and Remote Viewing, which obviates a lot of the need for the expensive Duplication power. It's also probably cleaner, ruleswise, for mundane tasks. I could see the argument that for mundane tasks I only need some relatively low-point Dupes, but like I said I think this approach is probably overall cleaner and less cumbersome at the table. Also, it conveys the idea of a character who can split into a dozen forms instantly, which gets crazy expensive in 3E.

Thanks!

The "Castling" ability was a way to simulate the Duplicator idea that any one of the duplicates can be the "Real" one at any moment. By shifting her consciousness to one of her Scout dupes, she essentially "teleports" to the new location. I don't know how unique that is, but I thought it was a cool idea.

The "Human Shields" idea was kind of brought in with the extra toughness. Also, in case it wasn't clear, a lot of those stunts were inspired by Naruto(mostly from video games), most notably the superleap. A bunch of her dupes appear and chain throw the "Hero" character to her destination.

I updated Viridian's stats after the first game (my friend is running the Emerald City Knights campaign). We had loads of fun!

Okay, so I decided to take one of the villains a player built for me in 2E, and port her over to 3E. This is a "Speed Build"... something that hasn't been tested yet. Once I've run her in combat, I'll probably make several changes.

Complications
Passionate: Edeinos are not technically fearless, but Hunters have learned to channel fear into action, savoring the feeling of terror as it courses through their veins, reminding them they are alive. They also tend to have trouble switching from "Combat" mentality, and can be difficult to reason with when the adrenaline is flowing.
Weak Arms: Edeinos have underdeveloped forearms. They can manipulate things with their 'hands' to some degree, but only at Strength - 5 Strength level, and are at Dexterity -3 with them as well.

Defense
Dodge 5, Parry 7, Fortitude 7, Toughness 5, Will 5

Power Points
Abilities 58 + Powers 16 + Advantages 6 + Skills 26 (52 ranks) + Defenses 3 = 109

In my setting, the Edeinos people are still deeply religious warrior/fanatics, but they aren't tool-users. They can pick things up and manipulate them to some degree, but are more tooth-and-claw fighters. I'll be posting an Optant and a Gotak after this weekend's game, when I decide how well these run in my upcoming PL 10 "Torg" game using M&M 3E.
