I will post some game more info here later today. Players so far are...TokiwongbkmanisKeiathemaxxVictimKajamba LionThainIf you want to post your characters here AND you character ideas on the old post that would be cool.Character Creation for Beyond Freedom PL10 standard characters using the M&M rules and errata. The game takes place in a future, darker Freedom City (kind of a Batman Beyond, but in Freedom City, hence the name). Only house rule [right now] Skills will cost 1PP per 2 Skill Ranks. Skill Focus AND Talent I am still thinking about. I might do the extra stuff OR where you get to roll 3d20 for Skill focus with one skill and Talented lets you roll 2d20 with two skills... still thinking on thisThe setting is a mix of 4-color/ with some gritty (i.e. heroes are mostly good and want to help people, villains are mostly evil; BUT the world has a slight “cyber-punkish” look and feel - huge buildings and powerful corporations, cyber and gene enhancements, gangs and high street violence. Also people get hurt and die, bad things can happen, there are bad cops and politicians, collateral damage happens and innocent people can get hurt during super battles etc). All super-type Origins are available BUT most have not been very active the last 20 years or so. So while the heroes will be some of the most resent costumed heroes to appear in Freedom City in the last 20 years, they are not the first heroes. Legacy Heroes are available and encouraged (and I am assuming all META-4 and Freedom City heroes are available. If you want to do a villain let me know before hand. This includes all the heroes listed in the basic M&M rules book and those pictures listed on SU website, etc). I don’t want to get into the disaster that “calls all the heroes out” but the basic idea is this … character have powers and have recently decided that it is time to start helping people (or they have been doing it secretly for a while but now with a big public emergency, they are coming out into the light… at least a little bit). You can have any origin that you want and your power source(s) should be defined, but up until now you have kept a low profile and have not gotten into this whole hero thing; but that is about to change. Please make your characters somewhat well rounded AND post a basic background. Also if you could I would ask for you to post a “3x3” about your character. This is where you give me 3 allies, 3 contacts and 3 ‘enemies’ (or locations) for your character. This only have to be a couple of lines but I just want to flesh out a little about each character on who they know and who they trust and who really hates them. Note that enemies don’t have to be super-villains, they could be your neighbor or ex, something like that. Remember that most super heroes and villains have not been very public these last 20 years or so… but that is all about to change in a really big way! Characters should also have a motivation as to why they would go out and fight crime - Heroic Motivations. Each hero had to have one and I always thought they worked pretty damn well to explain why you were a "super hero" and not just a "guy with powers." They basic ones are (IIRC)... 1.    Upholding the Good: believes steadfastly in traditional moral values; compassion, justice, truthfulness, and resolute faith in society's laws. (prime example - Superman)2.    Seeks Justice: will ignore anything that inheres with his quest; subverting society's laws, some of which he believe protect criminals (prime example - Batman) 3.    Responsibility of Power: the character decides to change as a result of the assume powers and skills that separate him from the rest of the world. (prime example – Spiderman, Green Lantern) 4.    Unwanted Power: kind of a darker "responsibility of power"; this character generally joins super teams to gain the acceptances they can't get in normal society. (prime example - Cyborg) 5.    Trill of Adventure: take extreme changes in combat and enjoy every moment of it. (prime example - Changeling, Guy Gardener)Of course these are only a few, and if you want to come up with your own, so long as it fits with the basic idea and story that would be fine with me.</blockquote>
