Total for Divine Delivery II: 68 points (reduced to 1 point for AE) Background Part 1:
Kenny Morrissey was born to a single mother (a stewardess living in Auckland, New Zealand who works on international flights for Air New Zealand). His mother was elusive about who Kenny's dad was as he grew up. When his mother had the birds and bees talk with him when he was twelve, she told him his father was a man named Favonius who she had a brief fling with when she used to work for Aegean Airlines during her first year as a stewardess. Kenny's sperm donor always met his mother in the air and when the plane landed she could never find him remaining on or departing the plane. When she told his father she was pregnant, she was called to the cockpit by the pilot, and when she returned, Favonius had disappeared from the plane (in flight!). "He vanished as if he was the wind." During his teenage years, Kenny spent most of his free time windsurfing, and won a few local teen tournaments. He earned his nickname of 'Kraken' by winning a number of races by winds surging as he was nearing the finish line with other competitors, which caused his board to ram into the other boards, veering the competition slightly off-course, with Kenny's board reaching the finish line first. With rumours starting to circulate he was controlling the wind to his advantage he made sure to keep a decent distance from other competitors during races. The rumours stopped but the nickname stuck. When he was 17, he told one of the girls he was seeing what his mother told him his father's name was, she told him that was the Romanized name for Zephyrus, the Greek god of the West Wind. Kenny set off to the west coast and climbed Mount Karioi and looked west across the ocean and the airplanes in the sky. He shouted out, "Why don't you love me!!??!!" As if in response to his question, a west wind whipped around him, and he heard someone say behind him, "Who is it you're yelling at, stranger?" Startled due to thinking he was alone at the edge of the dormant volcano's peak, Kenny stumbled and fell off the mountaintop, and his tumble turned into a fatal fall. "Time to get you back home to see if you recover. Don't want your mother to see you not breathing after all."
"Will you figure out what your mother never did?"
As the stranger was about to teleport away, he paused, and placed his left hand on Kenny's chest, his hand glowing light blue, with the light spreading out to envelop Kenny's corse, "Something as simply as falling should never prevent you from delivering words or items you are charged with delivering." Two weeks went by, his mother not due to return for yet another three days, when Kenny opened his eyes for the first time since he died.
To be continued... some combat tactics:
His default Teleport power array is the 1st alternate effect (Freefalling) Turnabout (Disarm) If his Freefalling reaction is triggered, he swaps to Tandem Skydive, turnabout to grab foe that attacked him to bring him into sky with him. Freefall knows that the foe will not go splat if they hit the ground (but the foe does not know that). Below is still WIP. He would want to make sure he was wearing winter clothing for that jaunt. :) basic seeds of non-heroic background: He competed in the Summer Olympics for windsurfing. He also competed in various windsurfing tournaments around the world, and the bulk of his winnings went to purchasing his cutwater speedboat, with enough savings left over to cover his basic living and travel expenses. He does save a lot in gas cost (as once he is past the horizon (from onlookers' perspectives) he teleports his boat (and everyone on it) to somewhere else on the planet. Complications Motivation: Thrills
Whereas to a very small niche of fans (windsurfer community) he is well-known, he is far from famous enough for the Fame complication.
Have not thought of a name for him yet (both his heroic and non-heroic identities). I have, however, worked a bit on coming up for a name for his cutwater speedboat. His personal 'houseboat', though I have not decided on the name yet. One of the names I jotted down (which will not be the name of the boat) is 'Smurfs Up'. One of the other names I jotted down that might wind up being the name is Splash Pad. Probably going to be from Australia or New Zealand. One of the benefits he brings to the team is fast travel across the globe. Should someone else have a land vehicle we can all fit in (that has a gross weight of no more than 6 tons, I can port the vehicle with us in it. Vertical Distances between Freefall and foes that he teleported into the sky when using Turnabout Teleport Attack each round while he (and foes) are falling:
To quickly see what height each falling foe is at (giving vertical distance ranks to the heroes on the ground) and their respective vertical (not horizontal) distance ranks from Freefall as he is doing his 'Rain of Falling Foes'. Starting first round of Freefall teleporting 5,000 feet above the ground to teleport. Freefall falls 500 feet each round due to using Turnabout. Foes fall 500 feet for their first round of falling, then 1,000 feet per subsequent round of falling. Falling foes are at least 6 vertical ranks of distance away from other falling foes. The distance between falling foes are at multiples of 1,000 feet. 1,000 feet between falling foes (6 distance ranks); 2,000 feet between falling foes (7 distance ranks); 3,000 feet to 5,000 feet between falling foes (8 distance ranks) For turns Freefall Turnabout Disarms or fails to successfully Turnabout Teleport Attack a foe into the 'Rain of Falling Foes', that foe # placement in the order is blank. Freefall teleports foes above the waters of the Gulf near the shore (but not near the beach-goers). Using Pythagorean Theory, at the start of the the round after Freefall teleports 5,000 feet above the ground to scan the city, he is 4,500 feet above the ground; allowing him to reach anyone on the ground that is within 2,761 feet away from the location on the ground that is directly below Freefall. 1/2 mile is 2,640 feet, so he can Teleport Attack anyone on the ground that is within a rank 7 distance from that location on the ground and Teleport Attack them to a location in the sky that is 1 mile high and be moved a horizontal distance of up to 7 ranks distance from where they were on the ground. When he is not choosing a specific desination within the city to teleport foes to, he teleports above the waters of the Gulf (or in that direction, and if necessarily repeat a Teleport Attack on a foe to get them above the Gulf. Note: The distance ranks below indicate how many vertical distance ranks a foe is from Freefall, not the horizontal distance between falling foes and Freefall (which will tend to be up to 7 ranks of horizontal distance from Freefall). 1st round: He teleports 5,000 feet into the sky, and makes Perception check, as he falls 500 feet.
