OOC: D20 Modern Supers: The Orange County Eight (FULL)

[reapersaurus]

I think I'll play Jack Styles (Jack of Hearts) as a reluctant transplant from Sacramento to Orange County, who has to move down there for his Environmental Scientist job.

I have a background all done up, and you can see the pics of the character on the previous link.
I'll stat him out in FcTF when I get the chance.

Too bad FCtF doesn't have psychological disadvantages.
Oh, well, I'm gonna be playing them anyway - they're way too fun not to!

garyh,

I think I might be too late, but I'd like to join the Supers game if you've got room. Just let me know and I'll start working up a concept.

So...any suggestions? What kind of style are we going for here? I'm getting a little bit from your setting info, but I'm wondering about inspiration. Any comics you're going to be drawing from? Or should I just let the imagination run wild?

Well, I've got a bit of direct comic inspiration from Avengers West Coast... the idea of a secondary team to cover a certain region.

As for mood, I'm not going all X-angsty, something a bit lighter would be good. Your characters should still kick a$$, but they ought to be able to crack a joke while they do so.

I'd say the less angsty Spiderman comics are a good example.

For years now I've been tossing around the idea of a biologist who was combined and turned slightly into a "nature spirit" many years ago.

Not quite Swamp Thing, but he has some weird plant characteristics. Does things like makes plants entangle enemies and attack them and such.

That's cool, Caliber. He could have just been a single hero working elsewhere in the country and was recruited by Disney-Irvine as well.

Should be a blast, reaper.

I highly recommend everyone create a pic of their PC in Hero Machine (www.heromachine.com) and post it with their stats as well.

I'm a softy. Keia and Mirthcard are both in, and the Suburban Seven have become the Orange County Eight.

And that's it!!

EDIT: If you guys have any ideas for the group's name, that's cool, too.

My apologies... I was tired. I knew I should have just put "Kit".

You're in, of course.

Character Generation Guidelines

Okay, here's some CharGen guidelines for you guys to work with:

- 6th level. Everyone is a human, unless they want to ask for something else. I'm willing to listen to cool ideas about where your half-celestial came from.

- 32 Point Buy stats.

- Everyone's base Wealth is 12. Modify this by your occupation, any Windfall feats you may have, and add 1 per level if you have ranks in Profession.

- For Action points, figure out what you'd have for your character's career, and you get 2/3rds of that. The assumption is that you've used some AP to get this far - but I don't wanna gouge you, either.

- Since 4CtF predates Modern, I asked about "patching" it to fit over in the Nat20 forum, and this is what I came up with:

1) Defense: The Hero class gains defense at the Smart Hero (slowest) rate.

2) Action Points: The Hero gains 5 + 1/2 character level in AP every level up.

3) Reputation: The Hero class gains reputation at the Strong Hero (slowest) rate.

4) Massive Damage Threshold: MDT = Con + (2 x Character Level).

- Please include the origin of your powers in your history as well!!

- I'd like everyone's PC to look similar to my good friend Bruk here. I wanna see HrP calculations and the like, any modifications, etc.

- If you can, please post a picture of your PC. If you can't draw, that's fine - use www.heromachine.com!!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!

Thanks, Mr. Softy! Now I've got to go and find a copy of 4CTF. I wonder if they can deliver before Xmas??
