Real Name: Unknown

Complications:
Obey the Green Man: Like the other Brides of the Green, Venus almost slavishly follows the directions of the Green Man.

Protect Nature: Venus is dedicated to preserving the natural world from the horrors humanity has inflicted upon it.


Background: Nothing of the life of Venus is known before she was transformed into a superhuman by the Green Man. AEGIS’ file on her puts forth the idea that Venus was once known as Danielle Snow, but how she became connected to the Green Man isn’t known.

Over the years Venus, with the Brides of the Green or accompanying the Green Man, has committed various acts of vandalism and robbery to further the Green Man’s cause to make the world free of the taint he (and the Brides) see humanity as.

Recently this led the Green Man and the Brides into conflict with the newest members of the Freedom League when the Green Man somehow obtained what he called the ‘Meta-Seed’, a seemingly mystical artifact that allowed him to corrupt and tap into the powers of Doctor Metropolis so that the Green Man could increase his own powers to convert Freedom City into one of the first ‘purified cities’ of his new world.

Fortunately the members of the League were up to the task of handling the Green Man and his Brides, freeing Doctor Metropolis of the Meta-Seed and returning Freedom City back to normal. Venus and the other Brides managed to escape thanks to Flora’s ability to teleport between plant matter while the Green Man was transformed into a massive tree in Liberty Park.

When they will be able to free their Master isn’t known but the Brides will not leave the Green Man in such a condition for too long.

Complications:
Obey the Green Man: Like the other Brides of the Green, Flora almost slavishly follows the directions of the Green Man.

Protect Nature: Flora is dedicated to preserving the natural world from the horrors humanity has inflicted upon it.


Background: Nothing of the life of Flora is known before she was transformed into a superhuman by the Green Man. AEGIS’ file on her puts forth the idea that Flora was once Brittney Clay, a woman who was a member of several “Save the Earth” styled groups when she was approached by the Green Man somehow and he made his offer to her to empower her to be able to actually do something about the wrongs she saw happening to the planet.

Over the years Flora, with the Brides of the Green or accompanying the Green Man, has committed various acts of vandalism and robbery to further the Green Man’s cause to make the world free of the taint he (and the Brides) see humanity as.

Recently this led the Green Man and the Brides into conflict with the newest members of the Freedom League when the Green Man somehow obtained what he called the ‘Meta-Seed’, a seemingly mystical artifact that allowed him to corrupt and tap into the powers of Doctor Metropolis so that the Green Man could increase his own powers to convert Freedom City into one of the first ‘purified cities’ of his new world.

Obey the Green Man: Like the other Brides of the Green, Maxima almost slavishly follows the directions of the Green Man.

Background: AEGIS hasn’t been able to learn anything about Maxima’s life before becoming one of the Green Man’s Brides, but she is as slavishly devoted to him as Flora and Venus are.

Over the years Maxima, with the Brides of the Green or accompanying the Green Man, has committed various acts of vandalism and robbery to further the Green Man’s cause to make the world free of the taint he (and the Brides) see humanity as.

Interesting that it was Venus who teleported them when Flora is the one with the teleport ability. Maybe tapping into Flora's source via that plant control? ;)

Nope.

More like my lack of editing skills in effect.

But I fixed it while you posted.

I really like the art for the Brides of the Green, although I always pictured Maxima a little more butch.

I also dug the picture for Trailblaze. Where'd you find it, T-Man?

Me too truth be told but I just couldn't find that fit that idea so I went with that one instead.

That'd be onecoyote on deviant art, he's got all kinds of great images.

I'd been debating on doing a theme of builds that was first started by Batgirl III, the Ready to Play and had even worked out a small list of characters that I thought would be interesting & challenging to fit into the PL 10/150 pp frame when Woodclaw went and beat me to it (by the way his R2P builds are great if you haven't checked them out & you should, just use the link!).

But I figured nobody would mind if I went ahead and took a try at them anyways, so with that in mind, what follows are my first at R2P builds.

Enjoy!

Complications:.
Responsibility ~Centurion Prime: Nova must lead the Corps when they are mobilized in response to a threat as well as oversee the training of new recruits as part of his duties as Centurion Prime.

Responsibility ~Nova Corps: Nova polices the universe, usually as directed by the Worldmind.

Responsibility ~Brother: Nova’s younger brother has just recently joined the Corps.

Family & Friends back on Earth: The rest of Nova’s family as well as the few friends he has left are important to him despite the work he does as part of the Corps. Sometimes Nova will choose to return to Earth to deal with an specific situation instead of doing his duty as part of the Corps.


It wasn’t that big of a stretch to fit Nova in as a PL 10/150 pp build, granted he doesn’t hit caps but he can still hit pretty hard and consistently and his strength and ability to take hits aren’t anything to sneeze at by any means and that’s what makes Paragons so easy for new players to play: they have to basically just punch/blast the bad guys.

All the GM has to really do is make sure he tosses a couple bad guys into the mix that are tough enough to last a few rounds of combat with the Paragon as well as be able to dish out a bit of punishment of their own. Otherwise let the new player have some fun describe how his character is fighting and enjoy the super-brawl.

The biggest thing with having someone play Nova is to make sure they play up his responsibilities angles. He’s kind of like a Cosmic Level Spider-Man really, with lots of complications to give him some HPs to use when things are looking really rough.

Complications:
Last of the Martians?: Due to a plague that ran rampant on Mars, the Martian Manhunter is thought to be one of the few remaining member of the Green Martians and seeks to preserve their legacy and locate any other possible survivors.

Motivation ~Protect Earth & it’s People: The Martian Manhunter is highly protective of his adopted homeworld and it’s people.

Multiple Identities: The Martian Manhunter maintains several different human identities to help him better understand the people of his adoptive homeworld. Sometimes he runs into situations that call for his heroic alter-ego.


The big thing to remember with Martian Manhunter is that he’s something of a super hero chameleon; he does a little bit of everything. If the group needs a Paragon, he can do it. If it’s a Mentalist that's called for, then no problem he can do that. Or if the group finds itself in the middle of a mystery then he’s got the problem solving skills to deal with it. It’s all about having a couple pre-made templates on hand (making sure the GM has approved them first, of course) and going from there. It is ok to occasionally come up with a template on the fly but keep them simple and to the point or else the GM will probably say no it outright.

That said Martian Manhunter is one of the few characters I’d allow to have an unlimited styled Shapeshift (normally I limited it to only powers and mostly physical feats but I will allow certain skills that make sense dependent upon powers in use such as ranks in Notice & Search), especially since he has a lot of things to cover. The skills and feats listed here are a very lean representation of what MM should have, and as a GM I’d allow a PC using this style of build to allocate part of the Shapeshift point pool to develop certain skills and feats that might be called for in specific situations. It really does fit with Martian Manhunter as he’s been shown to keep aspects of his powers hidden his entire heroic career until they had to be used now for one reason or another.

The other thing to remember when playing Martian Manhunter is to play up is his Complications, one or two of them should come up during the course of an adventure and those are what really allow Martian Manhunter to pull out all the stops and have on-the-spot power stunts and use extra effort for one-time-only feats.

Equipment: Costume [+3 Toughness; Subtle; Commlink]


Costs: Attributes 30+ Skills 22+ Feats 43+ Powers 9+ Saves 14+ Combat 32= 150 pts.


Complications:
Motivation ~Do Right: Hawkeye will always try to do his best to help others he meets, no matter what the odds he finds himself against.

Relationship ~Mockingbird: Hawkeye has had a long and eventful relationship with Mockingbird, despite being married and divorced and back together as a couple (still unmarried) there is little doubt that they deeply care for one another.

Reputation ~Rash: Hawkeye is known to be one of the more impulsive heroes today.

Reputation ~Former Criminal: Hawkey started out on the wrong side of the hero business and despite having been a hero for many years since, as well as being a long time member of the Avengers, that time in his life has a way of coming back to haunt him.


I know that BGIII had already done a version of an R2P Green Arrow but I felt that Hawkeye needed some love too. There are some differences between the two, I know it can be hard to spot with all the trick shooting, trash talking and all they both do but the devil’s in the details. Hawkeye’s big thing is that he’s learned leadership secrets from some of the best in the business (namely Captain America) and Hawkeye’s got a history of leading some good teams (West Coast Avengers & the Thunderbolts) and his feats show it. He’s got Inspire, Leadership, & Master Plan to help him run a team plus having Set-Up, Teamwork 2 let him be a helpful hand during a fight as sometimes his arrows aren’t going to do squat against a foe and he knows it.

In a fight Hawkeye is basically a Blaster, firing off arrows like few others can and staying at range. He can handle himself alright up close but he’s not really gonna put away the bad guys that way and he knows it. One thing to keep in mind is making use of Power Attack, Hawkeye can pretty much hit any target he’s aiming at but by using that feat he can increase the Toughness DCs he can force on an opponent.

Plus with the Variable Descriptor on his arrows, Hawkeye can take a free action to change up his arsenal a bit & hit a foe with a specialized attack that they might be more vulnerable against; hitting the fire guy with a ice-themed arrow (or the reverse), targeting a formerly submerged foe now dripping water and coming at the team with an electrical arrow, or adding ranks of ricochet to pull off that really difficult one-in-a-million shot.

And let's not forget his Bluff skill, Hawkey is somewhat well known for being able to run off at the mouth during a fight in a manner that mirrors Spider-Man and in the past he's used it to full effect.

[Shock]

That's a hell of a job fitting Martian Manhunter into 150 points.

[Tattooedman]

So far MM has been the build that I fought with the most to get to fit into PL 10/150 pp. And truth be told I'm not 100% happy with it but I just can't cut points from anywhere else to up his Shapeshift rank any more than it is.

I console myself with the fact that as the build is MM can be pretty much the equal of any other PL 10 Paragon or Psionic build as well as pull of the ghost-like form, which is his three big things he's known for. So I consider that build a win for me in that regard.
