Ok I think my math has mathed.

But I'm bad at math so someone should double check it.

I can double check now that I understand the system (I think).

NP: 28
BP: 15+7
QP: 30/30
Taint: 8
Quantum: ?


ATTRIBUTES
Strength 5 [Might 3]
Dexterity 5 [Martial Arts 4]
Stamina 5 [Endurance 4, Resistance 5]

Perception 5 [Awareness 5]
Intelligence 3 []
Wits 4 [Biz 1]

Appearance 3 []
Manipulation 1 []
Charisma 5 [Leadership 3]
You've only spent 19 of your 23 free Ability dots, you can have another 4 more dots, but none of them can be higher than 3 dots

(3 NP Spent for 9 additional Attribute points) You get 24 free Atribute dots. I see 12 additional Attribute dots above, which means you need to spend 4np.
(4 NP Spent for 24 Ability Dots) You only need to spend 1np for the 6 extra Ability dots you've added

Backgrounds You get 7 free dots on these
Mentor 5 5bp free
Attunement 1 1bp free
Eufiber 1 1bp free
Node 4 8bp This only costs 4bp

Up to here, you've spent 7bp so far, leaving you 15bp. I assume you spend another 14bp on 2 dots of Quantum. At this point your Quantum is 3, Willpower is 1.

Quantum 1np (5) I assume you mean you're buying 1 Quantum for 5np?

Bulging Muscles 2(Arms and legs are unnaturally beefy for his frame. His skeletal muscles are toned and lithe in spite of this he looks like he's trained at the pinnacle of fighting though he can't be more than 13.)
Glow 1(His Tail and Pupils Glow with Golden Light, they are very hot to the touch)
Hardened Skin 2(Its dense like metal, his bones are too)
Vestigial Tail 2(Its brindle striped and wrapped around his waist like a belt, doesn't look like it moves)
Permanent Power 1(Quantum Bolt which he keeps charging in his vestigial tail.)

Armor 3(6np)
Flight 2(2np+1 taint)
Quantum Bolt 4(8np) this costs 12np

MEGA ATTRIBUTES
Mega-Strength 2(3np+1 Taint)
Mega-Stamina 2(3np+1 Taint)
Mega-Dexterity 2(3np+1 Taint)
Mega-Perception 1(2np +1 Taint)

Up to this point, it looks like you have spent 40np on Powers, Megas, Attributes, Abilities and Quantum which is too much. Still gotta redistribute a bit more.

Background-wise, I've enjoy much of the detail that you've provided. Two big issues I cannot yet rationalise though. If T is a high aberration, high taint individual, it is unlikely he has such a good relationship with his environment and the people around him as described. (Remember the game mechanics impose negative social modifiers). Or put some dots into Allies or Contacts. Also if you're going to say he's got some money or a business going, then I'll need some dots in Resources. The second is a hard no on the permanent power aberration on Quantum Bolt, that's akin to Johnny Storm having his fire permanently on, burning everything in his path. A permanent Q Bolt seems to me like a constant death ray killing and damaging everyone around him. (Which I do like a lot as an idea, but seems unplayable as a character), as opposed to a permanent power like the Thing.

For the rest, if you're closer to rounding off the rough edges on your character, go ahead and create a sheet and submit it. Backstory-wise, apart from who your character is and what they are currently doing, I'll need a bit on how they came about their powers, if you don't have that already.

And, same advice as what I was describing for Jomsviking above. Don't forget to include some Backgrounds related to Allies, Contacts, Resources or even Backing, if your character is remotely affliated to anything.

Constant death ray, you say...

Very nice Annex, this is exactly what I was thinking.

Oh Wtichdoctor, I forgot to mention this, just to confirm, you've taken Enemy 5, which means Terrapin's enemy is literally the most powerful super(s) in the world.

You guys are giving me tons of material to work with! :D :D

Don't know why, but Gamers Plane isn't giving me the option to submit my character to the game. It just says that I have no characters to submit.

Did you build yours as a Custom or as a WoD character? I applied using the WoD template with my real stats in the Notes.
Oct 11, 2021 9:07 pm
That would be confusing for me considering every stat is different.

I read the Flaw as having two parts. One for the intent of the Enemy (wanting to humiliate/ruin the character for 1 point and wanting them dead for two points) and then the relative strength of their Enemy as a separate element that combined together with the intent for the Flaw total.

I had imagined it as a group that was approximately as power as Terrapin (3 pts) that wanted him dead (2 pts) for a total of five points. If I misunderstood, I'll still take the Flaw as is. 'Go Big or Go Home' as the saying goes :D

I just left the WoD stuff alone entirely and copy/pasted my stats in the Notes section. The Custom character sheet is really just a bit Notes section anyhow. :P
Oct 11, 2021 11:38 pm
Yeah, but if we do that it won't keep the formatting...
Oct 12, 2021 12:19 am
The Custom sheet keeps the formatting but the WoD Notes section doesn't? OK. I was just using text, not html in mine.

Wow I'm glad I have more to work with. Yes I think that T will be allied with his neighborhood. And I'll get revisions up soon

Yeah doesn't look like there's a way to control it like cyclops does. So I'll have to get rid of that. And since I don't need more the 3 taint I spent I'll just angle to make more human traits in him

Roger that, I'm good with it. Just wanted to hear how it clicks together in your head. And I love the backstory with all the former teammates, I'll tweak the in-game name of your enemy team.

We have our nemeses! Our insanely powerful nemeses...

Oooh enemy 5 homelander!
Oct 12, 2021 2:54 am
I think my enemy should be Gloam, or maybe a rival that blames me for something.
Also should I take contacts?

In case anyone is interested, I found a nifty index of Aberrant source material.
