Character Discussions

Feel free to discuss character and ask questions.

Thanks for the invite.

In any event,it seems like most of the other interested people are more locked in on a specific character concept,I might see what they go with before deciding which to pursue. Especially since you have given priority to a certain level of diversity in origin and power.

Nellancholy, what kind of characters do you find fun, i will give it some thought.

I've already enumerated my initial ideas to you in the thread,though I might come up with something else altogether. As I said my decision,if it is made,will come after seeing other people's ideas and having some discussion.

Playing a stealthy martial artist or marksman might also be interesting,but those ideas seem to be approached by others as well.

I am sort of thinking of doing a weather controller.
Not sure of the full concept yet.
Brain storming

Character:
Real Name: Ethan Cross

Age: 17

Occupation: High school student

Background:

* Top academic student with exceptional aptitude in physics and engineering.
* Captain-level contact/combative sports player (whatever local sport suits)
* Known for reading the game, making impossible tackles, and never staying down after a hit.
* During a science competition, an experimental particle containment field overloaded, permanently bonding his nervous system cause an acceleration of powers.

His powers developed exactly where his personality already excelled: absorbing impacts.
His physical stats should represent a national-level teenage athlete before powers, enhanced dramatically afterward.

Unsure of build, maybe something like Thing or a Kinetic Energy converter.

Masthurfic: This is what I threw together, Summary when Ethan is impacted he gets taller, denser, stronger, tougher (you can determine in what order and in what amount the increases happen, the notes for strength and con roll include the adjusted stats, so you will have to let me know where his abilities are. feel free to ask questions)

question is there a way to upload html/pdf files?

And below a reference for those asking about questions on skill rolls and stat numbers (same as skills), both use a 3d6 roll

SKILL ROLL TABLE
Skill RollDescription
8-Familiar: Can perform only the most rudimentary
tasks; very basic knowledge of a subject (basic
terms and concepts); minimal training; little or no
experience.

10-Proficient: Can perform routine tasks with
effort; elementary knowledge (common terms
and concepts); some training; some supervised
experience.

11-Competent: Qualified to get a job using the Skill;
performs routine tasks normally, and challenging
tasks with effort; sound knowledge (most terms and
concepts; basic theory); full training; unsupervised
experience.

12- to 13-Skilled: Qualified to supervise others in use of the
Skill; performs routine tasks easily, challenging tasks
normally, and advanced tasks with effort; thorough
knowledge (nearly all terms and concepts; common
theory); advanced training; supervisory experience.

14- to 15-Very Skilled: Regarded as an expert with the Skill;
performs routine tasks effortlessly, challenging tasks
easily, difficult tasks normally, and advanced tasks
with effort; comprehensive knowledge (all terms and
concepts; most theory); provides advanced training;
extensive experience in multiple aspects of the Skill.

16- to 17-Highly Skilled: Regarded as a master of the Skill
- one of the world’s leading experts; performs
challenging tasks effortlessly, difficult tasks easily,
advanced tasks normally, and cutting-edge tasks
with effort; encyclopedic knowledge (knows
everything generally studied in the field, and adds to
that body of knowledge); trains experts in the Skill;
virtually no application of the Skill the character
hasn’t done.

18- to 19-Extremely Skilled: One of history’s leading masters
of the Skill; performs difficult tasks effortlessly,
advanced tasks easily, cutting-edge tasks normally,
and with effort, he can "push the envelope" of what’s
possible with the Skill; exhaustive knowledge (knows

20- or
more Incredibly Skilled: Possibly the greatest master
of the Skill in history; performs advanced tasks
effortlessly, cutting-edge tasks easily, and "pushing
the envelope" is a normal use of the Skill for him; he
"wrote the book" on the Skill in terms of knowledge,
and has forgotten more about it than most experts
will ever know; he amazes masters of the Skill. This
is the realm of supergeniuses, advanced superheroes,
and mythic figures.

i figured out pdf/html files can't be uploaded here, so I have some links from my google drive of the .html character sheets so far.

Ethan_Cross

Ronan_Donnelly

let me know if this works as the html files are a better format than the txt i tried to paste in.
Feel free to ask questions.

I like him, I feel I can get to know this guy.

His hero name is: Kinetic

I was unable to view the link.

First image

Thank you and Thank you for the picture, i'll try a few things later on the google drive to share the file. Did you get an error or just nothing?

Also, the height and weight, hair and eye color that i used in the generation is the system default 2m, 100kg, brown and brown.
If you or anyone else has a specific appearance in mind besides the default let me know.

you should now be able to download the character sheet (either in html or pdf formats https://drive.google.com/file/d/15CKlbILkapC2aGMf-0hgJkGwwYWoyGi6/view?usp=drive_link)

I got asked to send an invite to join a google drive.

I liked the generic Brown and brown, it suited the character.

What all do we have for characters so far?


Do you plan on using or making a character sheet for Gamersplane?
I can help make one if needed.

We have Ethan (impacts make him stronger/tougher/taller/denser) & Ronan (martial-artist <comic book style> w/ability to heal) although i am hoping we fill in some of the questions for Ronan.

I have posted both characters to my google drive account, links above <July 16 @ 1102pm>, if you want to take a look at the character sheet. i trust this will remain player knowledge and not brought up in game, unless that player/character brings it up.

Have you thought of an idea @smiley (no rush as i have an application (Hero Designer) that allows me to throw characters together quicker than using the book and pen.) Also if you told me your idea, i apologize, i might have forgotten/missed.

I was sort of thinking of going some sort of weather controller.

Female character - Harper Hale.
She has a *Pet* small cloud that she uses to sit on and fly around on.

Was looking at the Weather Controller in the book.

Lightning Bolt I: Blast 12d6

Wind Cone II: Blast 6d6, Area Of Effect (16m Cone; +½), Double Knockback

Easy Weather Alteration I: Add Reduced Endurance (½ END; +¼) to Weather Alteration

Skills
Storm God Set: 10 points’ worth of Skills pertaining to the culture or mythos the character comes from/belongs to

Interesting, I will start with the stat block and look at the powers.
Appearance (height, weight, eye & hair color to begin with) ? is the character actually a god, avatar of the god, a mutant, magic-user, etc. ?
age?
Have you picked a mythos, culture ? <you might have to provide details if i haven't heard/not familiar with that particular mythos>
does she speak any other languages?
if god, avatar, or magic-user can she feel/see magic?
if the character is a god/avatar what is she doing enrolled as a student at a high school?
is she a US citizen or citizen of another country? if another country, is her parents associated (in any way w/the U.N.)?
does she come from money?
any non-diety related skills (hobbies, knowledge, etc.) ?
and more questions to make Harper a person.

i will throw something together, but it will only be a starting point that we can adjust pre-game.

still working on her, i hope you forgive some adjustments (which of course can be adjusted back if needed)

I've uploaded the character sheet to : Harper_Hale . let me know if you have any issues. I increased some of the stats, added striking appearance, some languages at basic level of areas that Celts would be located, lowered some of her powers to fit in the power cap of 60 pts (sorry I hadn't mentioned the cap before).

In some ways, based on the description, i see her as new to this role. Let me know if i am mistaken.

copying from the file , let me know what you think.

Character Name: Harper Hale
Alternate Identities:
Player Name: Smiley

APPEARANCE
Hair Color: Ginger
Eye Color: Steel Gray
Height: 1.63 m
Weight: 56.00 kg
Description:

Harper has steel-gray eyes and shoulder-length, wavy ginger hair. She has a lean, athletic build rather than a muscular one, with tanned skin from spending much of her life outdoors.

BACKGROUND
Harper was once an ordinary girl from a small American town. She grew up with her mother, father, and older brother, enjoying simple hobbies like reading, gardening, and painting. Her life changed when the previous **Avatar of Taranis** died near her, causing her to unknowingly inherit and absorb the ancient power. She did not seek out this role—she was simply chosen by circumstance. Now enrolled in a hero school, Harper is trying to understand her strange new abilities and learn how to control them. She cannot sense magic or understand magical languages, but she is open to learning and expanding her knowledge.

I don't understand some of it since I have never played this system but I will do some research
