You purchase skills at a 1 pp per 2 skill rank ratio (but cannot spend less than 1 pp on any skill). There is a down side to this feat.

Character for a PbP game I'm going to be in.

MR. DREAD

Quote: "Ya got no call to be oppressin me people wid ya guns and drugs, mon. A gwine be aksin ya to desist fore a get alias on ya baxide."
Concept: Wielder of life's energy and natty dread
Occupation: Starving artist
Real Name: Julian Griffiths
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Eyes: Light brown
Hair: Dusty black

Brief History: Julian Griffiths, born and raised in the shanty town slums of Kingston, Jamaica, grew up under the protective wing of his fearsome mother, Rita, and in the shadow of his older brother and de facto father figure, Peter. Living on the edge of Rastafarianism but never quite able to accept the historical claims of that religion, Julian shared the dismay of elder Rastas as the youth of Kingston perverted the sacred herb in favor of being American-style gangstas and drug dealers. Crack cocaine and designer drugs - both the damage of the drugs themselves and violence implicit in their sale and distribution - ravaged Jamaica. The introduction of Formula X by a mysterious underworld figure known only as the Baron only made things worse.

During a police raid on a nightclub that served as one of the Baron's fronts, a fire broke out. Julian, fascinated by the rhythyms and styles of reggae, was one of the many young people caught in the chaos. Flames rages as shouts of "Fight Babylon" filled the smoke-choked air. When the flames hit the hidden stash of Formula X, things went from bad to worse. Many people died from the violence, the fire, the smoke, or the toxic cloud emitted by the burning drugs, including Julian's brother Peter. Dozens of others were injured, including Julian himself.

During his recovery, Julian discovered that somehow he has been imbued with superhuman powers. While he attributes these metahuman changes to something akin to God's Providence, the facts of the matter are somewhat more mundane. Formula X has altered Julian's genetic structure, especially the electrochemistry of his system. What Julian calls "life's energy" is a mutated form of electrochemical exchange that affects both his body as well as the bodies of others into whom Julian consciously channels said energy.

Julian and Rita have since moved to London, England, to live with Rita's sister Ruth. Julian is enrolled in classes at the Camberwell College of Arts.

GM Q & A:

Q - What do they do when they're not fighting crime?
A - Attends classes at Camberwell College of Arts, hangs out in the Snug Bar, helps his mother and Aunt Ruth with household chores and errands.

Q - What do they really care about?
A - Rita and Ruth, his only remaining family. His art.

Q - Do they have any family?
A - See above.

Q - How do they keep their identity a secret?
A - Wears a green visor as a mask. Switches to Jamaican patois in hero identity and thickens up the accent a bit.

Q - Do you have a job of some kind?
A - Not really. Does odd bits of work-for-hire in the community: Painting, basic repair, et cetera. Not above keeping cash taken from criminals (which is how he finances his HQ). Strives to appear as being largely supported by his mother and aunt.

Q - Why aren't they a villain?
A - Because that would be wrong. And his mother would kill him.

Stat Block: PL 8; Init +1 (Dex); Defense 17 (+6 base, +1 Dex); Spd 55 ft.; Base Attack +4; Atk +10 melee (10S, punch); SV Dmg +12 (+2 Con, +2 Toughness, +8 Amazing Save), Fort +2 (Con), Ref +1 (Dex), Will +1 (Wis); Str 20 (+5, +10 with Super-Strength), Dex 13 (+1), Con 14 (+2), Int 12 (+1), Wis 12 (+1), Cha 16 (+3).

Skills (Rank): Acrobatics +8 (5), Balance +6 (3), Bluff +8 (5), Craft +9 (8), Diplomacy +12 (5), Gather Information +9 (2), Intimidate +17 (5), Jump +17 (5), Sense Motive +6 (5), Sleight of Hand +6 (3), Spot +9 (8), Taunt +8 (3).

Feats: Attack Focus (unarmed), Detect (life), Durability, Headquarters, Rapid Strike, Toughness.

Headquarters: Communications, Concealment, Gym, Infirmary, Living Space, Reinforced Structure, Staff, Workshop.

Powers:
* Amazing Save (Damage) +8 [Source: Super-Science; Cost: 1 pp]
* Super-Strength +5 [Extras: Fatigue (Extra: Trigged by Unarmed Attack, Flaw: Range - Touch); Healing (Flaw: Empathic Healing); Immunity (aging, critical hits, disease, exhaustion, poison); Regeneration; Running; Source: Super-Science; Cost: 9 pp]

Weaknesses:
* Quirk - Does not trust Babylon.
* Susceptible - Formula X. Obviously Julian's Immunities do not counteract this weakness.

Point Breakdown:

Ability Scores = 27 pp
Base Attack & Defense = 24 pp
Skills = 19 pp (The GM is using a 1 pp : 3 skill point ratio)*
Feats = 12 pp
Powers = 53 pp

Total Cost = 135 pp

Points Remaining = 5 pp

* This means I really spent 57 pp on skills. Adding in the 5 unspent pp, this makes Mr. Dread a 178 pp/PL 11 character. Of course, at PL 11 he'd have 185 pp to spend with his two weaknesses.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

I like him. Plus, with your introduction of Formula X, that gives me more stuff to enjoy!

THE POSSEE

The Possee, comprised of leader Mad Skillz and his partners-in-crime Slow Moe and Tiptop, are villains for hire, ready, willing, and (in theory) able to handle a wide variety of assignments if the price is right.

Mad Skillz, skilled martial artist and scientific genius, acts as the Possee's field commander and spokesman. Despite his rap-influenced patois and homeboy exterior, Mad Skillz hails from an affluent Jewish family native to upstate New York. Seeing more profit and excitement in a life of super-crime, Mad Skillz turned black sheep of the family and has never looked back. Teleporting around the battle field on his Mad-board (a super-science skateboard), lashing out with his Mad-chuks, Mad Skillz is a foe to be reckoned with.

The muscle of the Possee is hardcore felon Slow Moe. While not that ight-bray, Slow Moe displays a chillingly casual disregard for the safety and well-being of those who stand in his way. Outfitted with super-science armor designed by Mad Skillz, Slow Moe is largely impervious to harm and capable of amphibious activity. His armor's gauntlets are equipped with kinetic converters. This weapon siphons kinetic energy from its target, transferring that energy into Slow Moe's armor. As a result, Slow Moe gains an increasingly formidable degree of super-speed.

Rounding out the Possee is Tiptop, a small-time sneak thief granted superhuman powers via "kinetic evolvement," a super-science process developed by Mad Skillz. Now able to rotate his body at amazing speeds, Tiptop spins into crime, slashing at foes with a forearm-mounted, double-edged blade.

DEATH RATTLE
Quote: "Victimizer, your time has come!"
Concept: Undead toddler
Occupation: Spirit of vengeance
Real Name: Unknown
Height: 2 ft., 1 in.
Weight: 30 lbs.
Eyes: Burning red
Hair: None

Background: There are many theories as to Death Rattle's origins, but no solid answers. What seems certain is that this diminutive monster is some sort of spirit of vengeance that targets people who do harm to children. Death Rattle's growing list of victims includes abusive parents and guardians, abortionists and other child killers, pedophiles, and even a couple of pro-abortion state senators.

A veritable industry has sprung up around Death Rattle. Unscrupulous merchants market Death Rattle toys, T-shirts, and trading cards featuring Death Rattle's victims. There is currently a Death Rattle motion picture under production. Pro-abortion organizations decry Death Rattle's actions as part of some sort of right-wing, anti-woman conspiracy. More than a handful of fiery religionists expound on the theme of God's judgment being manifest in Death Rattle's murderous activities.

One noteworthy facet of Death Rattle's activities is that it sometimes does not visit its horrible vengeance upon women who have harmed or killed their children. This seems especially true of young, unwed mothers who terminated their pregnacies. It is not the case that such women have not be visited by Death Rattle, but few who have will speak of their experiences.

Still, it does seem as there is an element of compassion within Death Rattle's psyche. One young, unwed mother who procured an abortion did grant an off-camera interview in which she tearfully claimed that Death Rattle appeared to her as her dead child, seeking love and offering forgiveness. In the media firestorm that followed the interview, the young woman went underground, changing her name in order to escape the public eye.

Appearance: Death Rattle appears as a toddler carrying a tattered teddy bear (dubbed its "deady bear" by media wags) and a toy rattle, but its head is a fleshless skull the empty sockets in which burn a baleful fire.

Powers: A word of advice for heroes: Don't let Death Rattle's size fool you. This monster is a formidable opponent. Being undead, Death Rattle is virtually immune to harm. Even if destroyed, it simply rises again to once more terrorize and punish. Its toy rattle is actually a weapon of dread mystic power. With its rattle, the monster can animate toys (turning them into deadly automatons), create illusions so realistic that they can kill, and teleport itself instantaneously between locations.

Stat Block: PL 15; Init +4 (Dex); Defense 25 (+10 base, +1 size, +4 Dex); Spd 25 ft., teleport 50 ft.; Base Attack +7; Atk +8 melee (+0S, punch), +11 ranged (+10S, illusion); SV Dmg +5 (Con), Fort +5 (Con), Ref +4 (Dex), Will +3 (Wis); Str 10 (+0), Dex 18 (+4), Con 20 (+5), Int 12 (+1), Wis 16 (+3), Cha 16 (+3).

Skills (Ranks): Hide +11 (3), Intimidate +6 (4), Move Silently +7 (3), Sense Motive +6 (3).

Feats: Darkvision, Detect (people who harm children), Durability, Infamy, Startle.

Powers: Shrinking +3 [Extra: Mighty Mite; Flaw: Permanent; Source: Mystical; Cost: 3 pp]; Undead +10 [Extras: Immunities*, Mental Protection, Protection, Reincarnate (Extra: Never Say Die); Source: Mystical; Cost: 8 pp].

Equipment: Death Rattle +10 [Extras: Animation (Extras: Horde, Imbue with Power*, Flaw: Toys Only), Illusion (Extras: Damaging, Selective), Teleportation; Flaw: Device; Source: Mystical; Cost: 6 pp].

*Immune to aging, critical hits, disease, cold, exhaustion, heat, poison, pressure, starvation, and suffocation. The Imbue with Power extra allows Death Rattle to grant an animated toy with one power that has a cost of no more than 2 pp. The power functions at Animation's rank. Death Rattle favors cuddly toys that breathe fire (Energy Blast +10L).

Weaknesses: Disturbing, Quirk (punishes those who harm children).
