[d20 Modern / 4CtF] Windy City Mutants OOC

I'm in too, if there's still room. Do you have philipjreed's Contruct Mechanus and / or Dungeon #91. I was thinking of some kind of cyborg type and those both have rules that could be cobbled together. I'm sorta inspired by Cyborg from Teen Titans, Robotman from Doom Patrol and Xorn from the New X-Men by Morrison & Quitely.

Okay the supers game recruitment is closed now.

btw, I'm not just arbitrarily doing this, Krizzel will post in about an hour or so when he gets home. He just wanted me to go ahead and announce this.
 

Yes, we've got enough recruits. Thanks KV ;)

So, as it now stands we have:

- KitanaVorr
- Shalimar
- garyh
- perivas
- Jemal (assuming he makes his way here)
- mirthcard
- Keia
- loxmyth
- Lichtenhart
- Korimyr the Rat

That makes ten. What we'll probably end up with is two teams, either allied like the X-men blue and gold teams, or maybe even enemy teams if some of you decide to go with a more Magneto style approach. I'll make separate threads when we get to that point, but everyone is going to start together.

Character creation:
- 24 point buy
- 1st level, any of the six d20 base classes
- age 15-25; pick an appropriate occupation

This represents your character before your powers manifest. Everyone is a latent mutant, and when your powers first manifest in game you'll immediately gain one level of Hero. I'll explain this in more detail later - the only thing to think about right now is what type of powers you'd like to have.

I'll put up a Rogue's Gallery later tonight. You can use this thread in the mean time if you'd like.
 

Character concept:

Lucius Gittimur was never popular; in fact, he was considered a freak! And not without good reason. A rare genetic disease had given him stark white skin and red irises. His parents, being rich and "successful", took him to see all the doctors but to no avail. He was incessantly bullied and harassed by the other students in his exclusive private boarding school and lived his life away from classes pretty much by himself. Still, he had managed to bond with his roommate, who seems a bit more tolerant of his "condition"...that's how he refers to it. Now, after graduation, he is left without any real friend or purpose. He had postponed his college admissions in hopes of finding something to suit his taste.

Lucius is not unfriendly or shy, but his "condition" has left him rather lonely. He has accepted this fact and opted to adopt many hobbies, although he seems unable to concentrate on any one talent for too long. He has been somewhat successful as a linguist. And perhaps, his only other strength has been his perservance, physically and mentally, through his experiences.


I see him more as a tough hero than a dedicated one. He'll probably be a dilettante with languages as his specialty. I envision him obtaining telekinetic powers...although I'm not sure about that yet.
 

Stacy DuPries

Appearance: Stacy and her sister Lana both stand 5 foot 3. They both have green eyes and lustrous shoulder length black hair. The twins have identical curvy figures, which are kept trim through soccer. Both are beautiful and easily capable of drawing stares, but Stacy is more comfortable with it then her sister, often wearing clothes that emphasize her figure to her best advantage. Physically identical the girls have distinct personalities.

Personality: Stacy is the more out going of the two girls, and often drags her more introverted sister to parties, and has convinced her to join the Soccer team to spend time together. If Lana is the duo’s sarcasm, then it is Stacy who is the kind hearted one who would help pretty much anyone, sometimes even to her own detriment. Stacy is outgoing and playful, often getting her sister to help her play pranks on her friends, often switching with her. Stacy relies on her more self-contained sibling for advice, and to be able to say no for her, to make sure no one takes too much advantage of her kind nature. Although she isn’t stupid, far from it, Stacy often gets her sister’s help with her schoolwork to spend time with her, and to get Lana to spend time with some of the more popular students. She is proud of her sister’s ability to stand up for herself and her sarcasm, but it also makes her feel sad and hurt at the same time. She cannot understand how Lana can be happy when she is so sarcastic, and wants to try and help her sister. She is a naturally kind person, and doesn’t put up with people making fun of anyone around her. Her friends know by now better then to do it, and have grown to accept her nature. She often invites whoever is around at the time to gatherings of the popular kids, be they nerds or drama kids or what have you. She can’t seem to leave anyone out.



Kitana is playing Lana DuPries, Stacy's twin sister. They are both fifteen year-old highschool sophmores. Stacy is a fast hero, and an all around athletic popular girl. If possible she will pickup the power:

Kinetic Control: Increase or decrease kinetic energy. It allows her to change the direction of any moving object or 'push' a target with power rank strength. Eventually with a lot of training she might be able to work it into a very limited form of telekinesis.
 

Sounds good perivas!

If you want to be a linguist, you could always take Smart and get the linguist talent. Just give him a good CON score and take Iron Will as one of your feats to represent mental & physical toughness. Smart also gives you a lot of skill points to buy many different 'hobbies.' Or Tough with a little extra in INT?

What talents and class skills do you want him to have?

I like Stacy, Shalimar ;)

Soccer was a good choice for the Chicago area - it's probably the biggest sport in the suburbs. I was going to recommend either Fast or Dedicated based on your description.

Also I saw you're using the Marvel powers for ideas - fine with me :) I'll try to figure out what it would be in 4CtF, and we can always ask for help on the Natural 20 forum if we need to make an entirely new power.
 

Lana DuPries
Smart Heroine

Description: Physically identical to her twin sister Stacey, Lana prefers though to wear her hair up with chopsticks or any kind of interesting hair accessory stuck in it. Occassionally sprays on some temporary hair dye to give her hair an added kick and make her more distinct from Stacey. She dresses in rather comfortable, artsy, sort of unique funky clothing to emphasize her own identity.

Personality: Lana is the sarcastic witty one of the twins. She is always mocking the conformity of the "Gap-Kids" at school which happen to be Stacy's friends. Tough exterior with a dry, sarcastic, know-it-all ish attitude, nobody at school really wants to get on Lana's bad side, but those who get to know the real Lana find that inside she's actually a shy, sweet dreamer type that lives within her own romantic imagination.

Where her sister is more of an athlete, Lana is more the studious type. She adores poetry and spends countless hours reading all kinds of books. Often her speech is an allusion to some poem she read or a quote from a book. She also plays violin. Soccer is something she does so she can spend time with her sister, but she's not as good at it as Stacy is.

Lana is protective of her sister and will kick anybody's butt who tries to take unfair advantage of Stacy's good nature. There is a dark side to Lana and she has a devilish streak for vengeance. God help the man who would dare lay a hand on Stacy.

Power: Telepathy first and then telekinetics later. For her I'm planning on concentrating on her mental abilities.

Unfortunately I don't have either of those rules sets (I haven't subscribed to Dungeon yet :p ). Also the last time I was majorly into comics was when Image was still young, so anything new I probably don't know much about. New X-Men I know is pretty new (at least by my reckoning), the other two sound vaguely familiar but I never read them.

That said I'm not opposed to some kind of cyborg hero. I would like you to be a mutant, but in itself that presents two possiblities to me right off the top of my head:
- a mutant who can somehow alter his form (something like Colossus maybe? I think we can do better than that though)
- a mutant who's been 'borg-ed' by someone, maybe like Weapon-X?

Of course if you really want to be 'just' a cyborg I'll allow that. We can have one non-mutant character if really necessary - the only guideline is that in a such a case you won't have any 'normal' super powers (that is, any powers will come from tech or gadgets).
 

Thumbs up on Lana too! :D

I was going to say Fast or Smart in her case :p And don't take these class ideas the wrong way, everyone. I just like trying to figure out what character belongs to what d20 Modern class, pretty much just 'cause I like the d20 Modern base classes so much. Build them however you want, though. I think the interesting thing about it is that you can make a character with an atypical class pick work (say, a 'geek' with the Charismatic class and a high INT, for example).

Also, having two (or more) characters as telekinetics is fine. The usefulness of 4CtF is that it doesn't define most of the powers very strictly, so you could have two telekinetics (or telepaths, etc.) who have mostly different lists of powers.
