The reason for the base ability for Imajica's discs being Stepping discs, is that I added a variation to the original power that allows her to create and throw stepping discs like the character Nimble, from The Nevers, which she can use to hop, jump, climb, or walk across an area. The powers, as manifest by Marvel's Majik, are the Breakouts associated with the base.

Ferris Rudiger is a metallurgy professor who was touring a foundry with his students when the axle on a pouring ladle failed and molten hot iron poured down to where his students were watching in horror, awaiting their doom. As the metal splashed down, without thinking, he reached out to block the iron and instead of being horribly burned and scarred, his mutant gene manifested. Everyone present was shocked to find the iron had been completely solidified mid-flow. Hours later, he was contacted by the Foundation about the incident and brought on-board.

Essential equipment: Communicator armband, tweed jacket with elbow patches, Flame retardant baseball cap with University logo.

Backstory

Toriwake Itsu proved to be gifted in science from an early age. Her parents were typical of the Japanese immigrants to America, except that her father was a tech CEO. Tori grew up playing in laboratories playing with experimental electronics and machines. She fixed her first buggy program when she was 7, created her first A.I. at 10. When She turned 16 she completed her doctorates in Newtonian and Quantum Physics. She was going to represent the US in the Olympics as a member of the gymnastics team, but when a Meta Incident (her world's term for Superheroes and Supervillain fights) crashed into the stadium during practice, she used her prototype Emitter Bands to save a large portion of the bystanders. Upon receiving the incident report, the Committee thanked her for her help, then disqualified her from competing. They said her potential abuse of super-tech left to many questions.

From there she authored a few patents for her father's company, made a small fortune, and retired. She knew working to build better tech would make for a better world, but she wanted to do something now. With her father's people turning her inventions into devices to improve ordinary people's lives, Toriwake became UFO Girl. She spent some time helping the more experienced heroes learning the ropes, but when the Foundation came calling looking for recruits to help whole new worlds, she couldn't pass up the chance to explore the multiverse and learn more.

A.I.T.A.D and E.N.V.O.y are artificial intelligence. AITAD (pronounced AYE-tad) stands for Artificial Intelligence Tactical Advice Display. It works like Jarvis or Friday do for Iron Man in the movies, giving her tactical and technical information she may need in battle. ENVOy (pronounced IN-voy) stands for Extraenvironmental Navigation Operative. It is her sidekick and has a smaller, less powerful Emmiter unit built into it's butt. He can fly around and tractor beam stuff and report to UFO Girl like a drone.

Just finished up grading, so should be good to start generating by the end of the week. Do you want entirely original characters or is something from an existing comic ok? There was a comic where Loki very briefly, was sorcerer Supreme, or maybe a Loki "variant". I can also think of something new with that flavor.. Whatever you think fits

Original characters; however you may create an analogue of an established character.

true, May just go trickster with some illusions then.

Printed the srd because I like being able to page through and highlight and such. Promptly forgot it on my desk. It has been a long week and it is only Wednesday.
But I'm definitely going rakish trickster, maybe with a bit of archer thrown in. a dash of Oliver Queen. a sprinkling of Kate Bishop, with an undercurrent of Loki.
Now I just have to build her. *grumbles once more about leaving things at work*

Climb-13
Sprint-13
Perception- 18
Sneaking-15
Deception 15

Phantom Twin 1
Invisibility 2

Flaws:

Stefanie Chase was an Olympic hopeful in both archery and sprinting when the incident happened. She was driving to a qualifier when she was driven off the road by what appeared to be a runaway truck. While she is still unsure of what the vehicle was, she was hit by a strange light as she pulled her self from her wrecked car.
As she passed out she could see a duplicate of herself running away, the first manifestation of her power.
While she was unable to run as well as she once did, she found her aim was better than ever.
She is a bit of a Robinhood, using her abilities to help the down trodden. She has difficulty turning down the chance to help someone in need.


Stefanie is in her late 20s, tall, thin. She has pale skin and (undecided until I find a good picture) hair.
As the Crimson Quiver she typically wears black and red leather armor that is light weight and doesn't do much except look cool.

Essential Items:
Composite Long Bow
Quiver of arrows
Leather Armor


(Anything I'm missing or should add? I'm sure she has more items, but I'm still thinking)

By my count, from the concept to Invisibility is 12 abilities. But the last three are only set to 1 or 2 which is quite low. It means you will only succeed at tasks if you roll a 1 and somehow the opposition rolls over their ability. I'm fairly certain you should have a 13 minimum in the base 12 abilities. It also looks like you may have spent 22 points extra rather than the 20. I may have done the math wrong there so double check. Finally, we are getting Archon 13 and Foundation 13 for free to represent our good standing in the organization that gives us our assignment(s).
Mar 25, 2022 12:22 am
I thought the special magic type things were the breakouts and could only be set to 1 or 2? I also thought we got 11 abilities beyond the concept or did I read that wrong? I am new to this system so I could have made that mistake.
Mar 25, 2022 12:25 am
The breakouts are +1 or +2 is my understanding as well. I think they go as a part of one of the other abilities, though (as a part you're particularly good at). I also read it as "core concept + 11 abilities".
Mar 25, 2022 1:08 am
Yes, what Paximilian said. 12 including the core concept. if they are break outs, the rest of us used a + to indicate. I didn't include any on mine because her "powers" are all a different piece of tech, not reliant on each other, but you can make your character your way. I just meant to point out I didn't understand.
Mar 25, 2022 2:22 am
Heads up that my profile name changed -- I'm now 'Dreamweaver', but still the same person. I'm playing Decillion Darkweaver the disfigured sorcerer type.

Made a minor adjustment, double checked math, but could still be off. I will submit with image after GM says it looks good

Hello everyone, just checking in on where we're at on this? Everyone still here?
Apr 6, 2022 12:47 pm
I'm still here, wondering if / when the game will kick off :-)
Apr 6, 2022 2:26 pm
Same. Still here hoping.
May 9, 2022 3:00 pm
I think I'm out. Send me a note if this starts, but I'm going to take this off my list of current games.
May 9, 2022 3:24 pm
Agreed! Game appears to be dead. I'll also take it off my list of games.
