Meaningless point, but Dialkar is a drone, neither male nor female. We don't reproduce that way. Sex is VERY confusing to Dialkar...he (ok, it) has no clue what bathroom to use. ;)

Dark Archive

Not meaningless at all. It could become a plot point. I could see potential incidents with this issue. >:)


What do I need to do to finish up my character? Some more rolls, I assume?

Guess I'll drop the speed bonus and be more lile a brick?

Is there any way to even get more powers?

I guess basically, with the rolls so far, my character was probably experimented on in the future to see if time travel is survivable, and ended up blasted back in time.


Finalized my backstory and added an appearance.

Backstory:

Jason Chronos was an intern at a special research facility where he was caught in an lab accident involving the manipulation of time. He kept his newly gained powers a secret from the others not wanting to be made an experiment himself and eventually left the facility and moved around.

He also developed a pair of tech gauntlets that allows him to monitor his powers able to tell how much he distorts time. the gauntlets also allow him to Throw people or things into stasis by drawing on his power to manipulate time.

Appearance:
Jason wears a long black coat with a matching hat. He wears a pair of gloves with devices the wrist. the one on the left is bigger and has a pair of numbers on a small screen. Having no living family or close friend he doesn't bother hiding his face

You can opt to take another weakness and get one extra power.


Dialkar wonders why the busses are so large, and why people all sit at the back of the bus, when there's so much space up front, with him...


The HERALD dreams of yonder realms as his capulse enters the fabric of our reality.


I haven't quite decided on my physical handicap, will most likely be up by tonight.


He could be just a brain in a jar


Weakness
Control module overide (weakness:low self control)(weakness:Physical Handicap)
In times of great danger, there is a chance where the programing of the HERALD will take over.This initiates the lockdown procedure,where the HERALD will freeze up and become encased in his armor, reverting to his capsule form (this looks like a coffin and is the form the HERALD will take when sleeping/unconscious)In this form, the HERALD is unable to take action and is paralyzed until the danger has passed or the warning system has been disabled by outside sources

i'm attempting to combine both of my weaknesses.Is this okay?


Once in the city, Dialkar lopes along, looking for Crusader Citadel...feeling a bit lost.


Cardinal looms on a rooftop, gazing at Crusader Citadel in the distance. This group was one of the few that got it when it came to the law; not random vigilantes, these were proven heroes who had saved the planet more than once. They showed up to criminal hearings, worked with the government when needed.

Cardinal would be proud to call himself a Crusader. In a flash of red, he began his descent, jumping to nearby lower rooftops until he could reach the street.


The HERALD scans the current universe for the greatest congregation of anomalies in the galaxy.As his navigation runes lock in on earth, the HERALD repeats the information projected on the runes.
"center city,IL."
Seconds later, Dialkar hears a crackling behind him as a dimensional portal opens up behind him.
"biological anomaly detected.foreign organism present in environment . identify? "

Yes, combining them in this fashion should be fine.


Dialkar's response is instant...he drops into a defensive posture, and clicks excitedly...

ClickClickClick:
What now? Man, I need to slow down on that jelly...I get so jumpy!


The HERALD follows Dialkar's movements stiffly, still awaiting a response.
"organism?"


Making no sense of the Herald...Dialkar continues on his way...utterly cluelessly...


Ice storm watches the scene through military grade binoculars from the top of a building. He was only joining the Crusaders due to orders from his superiors to infiltrate the group. He chose his pseudo name through a tongue and cheek attempt to fit in.

The Insectoid was interesting, but wandered around cluelessly.

Orion can you give a physical description?


I'm confused, did Dash Gunnar's character sheet get posted so I can create a profile?


Jason walks out of a local store with a bag of Tacos when he sees the strange creature and man. Curious about the creature he follows stuffing taco into his mouth as he walks wondering where the thing is going?

Dark Archive

Azih, I should have it up soon, but you don't need his sheet to create a profile.


When Dialkar finally recognizes the distinctive outline of Crusader Citadel, he stops for a moment, to take it in, before breaking into a full speed lope, taking the shortest path...

What is the PP cost of your teleportation? This sets your maximum range and the power cost. Remember that you pay the full power cost, even if you just teleport across the street. Your base range is equal to your maximum Power scores in inches. That has a PR of 1. For each additional point that it costs, you multiply the range by 10.

Okay, I think that covers everyone who doesn't have a copy of the rules except Tenro. If I missed anyone, let me know, please. We'll kick off after I hear from everyone.

In the meantime, I am opening the discussion thread.


With the roar of his jetpack still ringing in his ears Dash Gunnar stands atop the spire of the Crusader Citadel, exhaust fumes filling his lungs as he puffs out his chest and poses proudly, marking out his territory. Behind him, visible for miles, is his sky written message.

DASH GUNNAR SAYS EVERY DAY CAN BE PAY DAY WITH MOOLAH LOANS. VISIT A FRIENDLY STORE TODAY.

The first part of his job done, Dash looks down at the building beneath his feet. Now to kick some evil doer tail to get the boss men some bang for their jet fuel buck


Upon seeing the creature take off Jason does the same still trying to figure out where hes headed. when he sees the Crusaders building he finally realizes and runs ahead of the creature shouting "I'll give you a taco if you beat me there." as he passes

Edit: Just saw the post.


How I understand it

Base maximum distance = the character's current Power score for 1 PP

1 additional PP = Base * 10
2 additional PP = Base * 10 * 10

And so on

How I see the power is as follows.

He can feel his way in the ether to get to any point. When he teleports, he moves into a space previously occupied by any matter, his previous position is replaced by that matter. The practical upshot is his teleports are completely silent, and he does not have to fear teleporting into solid matter, although he may become stuck, until he teleports again.

He can either teleport to any place he has seen or been, but he uses direction and distance to aim. He finesse this travel by his agility score in feet to end up in non solid matter.

Check your write-up. I had the DT freeze them in time for 1d8 hours. The quadrupled detection score represent the foresight ability. It makes it more likely that you will find hidden objects/persons and detect danger.

Ice Storm
Okay, I think I see what you're saying. As written, the power doesn't work that way. You have to define your maximum range by specifying the PR of each use. For 1 PR, you can teleport up to your maximum Power score in inches. Each additional PR multiplies the maximum range by 10. You can still teleport across the street if you want to, but it costs the same, no matter how far you teleport, up to your maximum range.

That being said, I think I see what you're thinking and I am willing to let your power work that way, if you wish.


Zane looks at the "Citadel" with some trepidation. He doesn't consider himself a "Superhero" as others have been known as.

He shrugs and then walks out of the Starbucks, his look more of a high profile executive than a comic book character, walking towards the structure.

Liberty's Edge

Gotta wonder how many seriously lacking wannabes would show up, ya know? How many guys with spandex coveralls and the coils from a household appliance mounted over oven mits...I AM THE TOASTER!


OK, so if I understand correctly, I can't augment on the fly.

So if I were to set power usage at 3, then at full Power points I can move 7300 inches or 36,500 ft ~7 miles.

Given, he is a spy and would need to travel long distances I will set the power at 5 which should give him 691 mile range fully charged

If you allow me to power it on the fly, I would much prefer it

I assume I can move all matter living or nonliving within my carrying capacity


Rethinking it. I should probably get everything under the same umbrella as Manifestation Area I have for the ice power.

How about a cost of 1 and can move anywhere within my AGI# radius in inches

That way it's neat and clean.


do i need to do any more rolls? i wont give up any more powers since i have very few


Whtknt, can you tell me the specifics of my powers?

Tenro, not unless you want a second weakness.

7. Telekinesis: TK capacity = 110 lbs. , TK defense cost PR 1 to set up and per attack repulsed, with one action to establish; range = 12”. TK blast damage based on current capacity, PR = 1 per attack or per turn, attacks as HTH.
8. Weakness Detection: Determines one weakness and gains a +4 modifier to hit after spending one action within one inch of opponent.
9. Physical Handicap/Low Self Control: In times of great stress, may become paralyzed.


Ok, quick backstory for Firelash...university doctoral student doing breakthrough work in micronuclear power generation. He got caught in a meltdown when some tainted uranium was used and exposed him to the radiation. His nerves got fried and he cannot feel pain, but the exposure also caused his new body to not react well with cold/water attacks.

And we are live in the gameplay thread! Tenro, we'll finish you up on the fly.
