Void, pretty cool design there. Just a couple of questions...
First, you have very little 'offense.' You can confound with illusions, but the save to see through them is pretty low, and you can create objects to fall on people or trap them. That's about it. Not to say your other abilities aren't cool...I just wanted to make sure the lack of offense was intentional, not accidental.
Secondly, I'm a little concerned about defense too, and I'll tell you why. No protection and fairly low saves. Now you took Concealment (at a high level) and Regeneration (that can Rez you)...but the trick is that you can't use them both at once. In fact, you can't use either in conjunction with any other power except ESP and Illusion (or with the dynamic ones sharing the pool). I'm thinking that might be pretty darn limiting for you. Just a thought.
Thirdly, it seemed a little odd so me that his Immunities (questions of Infectiousness and so on aside) are part of the array. It means he, or anything else he affects, is only immune to all that when he's not using anything else. Most especially odd is the immunity to Age. It seems kind of pointless to make himself or other objects immune to age, when he'll he shuffling those points later on and thus canceling out the immunities long before age is an issue. And objects are, by and large, already immune to poison, disease, and fatigue. Which brings up the Teleport. Only in area of nano immunity field...but you have to shut that down to activate the Teleport. I guess it still works...confining it to the same area the immunity field WAS in...but I'm not sure that's what you had in mind when putting it together.
Fourthly, your Healing has Perception range, but it's limited to targets that you've made Immune...which doesn't have Perception range. I think I see what you're doing there. You can infuse a target with immunity, then heal them at any time regardless of how far they wander, as long as you can see they're hurt. Problem again being, you have to lose the immunity to heal them. Still, I s'pose it'd work once, but then they'd no longer have the immunity, so you couldn't target them with Healing again.
Finally, are you sure Device is right for the nano pool? How does it get stolen? Does the nano colony reside within him, or in some kind of hive node that's normally attached to him, but can be removed?
One idea that might help with this would be the no-point solution of moving some nano-powers to the tensor array. Change the concept of the power to suit. That would allow a bit more "flex" to what you can use and when. If you can free up some points, consider adding some Protection to one array or the other...or perhaps Deflection. Something to help ward off attacks. While you're at it, you could add some Lasting power like Snare or Nauseate...the nice thing about Lasting powers is that they don't hog the array after you use them. You can shift the array, fire it off, then shift the array back and it doesn't cancel out the lasting effects.
Love the concept of the character! It's just tricky to balance arrays, as Elric and others who helped me can attest to.

I agree with this, and would like to add that his one offensive ability is a horde of weak minions, which are not as useful as they probably seem on paper, can slow down the game, and require him to turn off his defensive abilities to use. Plus, his healing aura essentially can the whole group each round, which is too powerful an ability to have. If the bad guys noticed him doing it, he'd get pasted fast, especially considering his super-weak defensive stats.
I especially want to reiterate that the nanobots cannot be a device unless they can be removed in a single round without specialized tools of knowledge. It seems that this is not the case, and thus they cannot be a device.
Void, here's some ideas for how you -might- reframe the good doctor. Bearing in mind that I'm not trying to step on your toes...but I know it really helped me when I was supplied sample builds, even if I didn't stick to them for my final sheet.
Powers: 76pp,
Tensor field manipulator: Device 27pp (Disarmable, Restricted X2) 43 pool
- ESP 8 ranks (all senses, subtle) [33pp]
- Illusion 1 rank (All Senses, Continuous, Selective, Progression x3) [10pp]
First of all, consider dumping this. I'm not sure what a 'tensor field' is in reference to these abilities, but you'll need some spare points, and these powers seem kind of...tangential to the concept, which is that of a nanotechnologically enhanced genius. Something to consider.
Nanotechnology: Power Array 49pp 45 pool
- Concealment
- Create Object (must be attached to self)
- Morph
- Regeneration
- Insubstantial 1
Okay, lemme explain what happened here. Don't freak yet. The nano array is your meat and drink, so here's where the concept must be defined and focused. Is he a "nanomorph" like Terminator 2's T-1000? This array assumes he is. Note I leave ranks and extras and stuff blank...this is meant to spur thought, not exhaustively detail the character's abilities.
What if he's flesh and blood, but infused with nanocytes though? Perhaps they can be released to affect outside things?
Nanotechnology: Power Array 49pp 45 pool
- Corrosion/Disintegrate "Gray Goo"
- Healing (probably usable on objects too)
- Force Field "nano armor"
- Machine Communication/Control
- ESP (limited that he has to place nanobugs that he can later sense through?)
Use the points from the tensor thing to buy additional powers, and/or more saves and attack/defense, perhaps.

Whelp, here is the background so far for Joesph - sounds like a good angel name to me lol. Subject to change of course. Should have the char done for review soonish. I did manage to fit in an actual sword, rather than perception attack. But dang if Elric's not right, points are ridiculously tight trying to do this build even remotely right.

Time Line: Approximately 2 years ago...
Sister Marie Donovan walked down the ancient basement steps right on Sister Angelique's heals. She disliked going into the Church's conservatory under basement. Not that it was scary per se, that was silly. After all, how frightening could a bunch of old and mostly decrepit music instruments be? It was just so dusty and well... the only other time she was ever down here was when she was still a novice, and she had felt as if she was being observed. What an odd sensation given almost no one ever came down here.
Angelique said, “So you want to take the right section... And I will do the left?”
Marie just nodded and tried to stifle a sneeze. Someone should clean down here at least once a century, she thought. But, best not bring it up to Mother Bene or she could guess who would get the job. . . Brrrrrr. What a cold pickle that one was. Putting Mother Bene out of her mind, Marie took out her note pad and doodled on a corner a few times to make sure her pen worked. That ritual completed she and Angelique begin patiently itemizing the various instruments for the inventory the church required each time the Pope changed. After a few minutes, the sound of some rustling and a rather mighty sneeze from Angelique broke the silence.
Angelique queried, “Now that is strange Marie. . . Why would someone have a statue down here?”
Marie answered, “Hrrrm?”, as she turned to see Angelic standing in the far basement corner, shrouded in a cloud of dust from having pulled an absolutely ancient looking tarp off of a life sized statue of an angel wielding a sword. She eyed the statury as she walked over, and thought it very life like indeed, although she admitted to herself that she was no expert. And replied, “Well Angelique, that should definitely be. . . somewhere that is not here anyway. Maybe we can get an idea of how old it is from the writing on the base?”
Both sisters knelt down around the statue and brushed off the dust covered base to reveal what appeared to be a very old form of maybe Celtic? “I am afraid I can not read this Marie. You studied wasted some time studying Celtic before you came here didn't you?”, said Angelique with a grin.
Brushing aside the mild jab with her curiosity aroused, Marie replied, “Yes, actually I think it is. . . but it looks like a very, very old form.” She concentrated trying to decipher the writing as best she could rubbing her temple with her left thumb as she concentrated. “How odd.”, was her only commented.
Never very patient, Angelique poked her gently in the ribs with a finger and said, “Well... Share already silly!”
Marie sighed, “It appears to be some sort of well. . . the best I can say is some sort of question or judgement put to mankind to banish or free... I am not sure over all, but this second part very definitely says 'choose to set me free.'”
She began to nod in satisfaction at her deciphering, but was interrupted by a bright flash and and a gentle but firm force that knocked both Angelique and herself prone. Marie shook her head, and looked up. . . And, gaped in amazement as the place where the statue had stood was now occupied by a very confused? And very live looking glowing angel? Holding a sword standing over them both.
A feeling of peace came over her, but not before a more natural reaction kicked in. Marie fainted. Before she completely went out, she vaguely understood communication in her mind that said “Thank you.” And then s o m e t h i n g. . . (fade to black)
Marie awoke to see Angelique's face leaning over her as she was being gently shaken and spoken too, “Marie! Marie!” she heard and replied, “I... I am awake... What happened?”
Angelique said in a confused tone, “I don't know. Do... Do you think that was actually an... ummm. . . And then we both fainted.” She and looked briefly at the spot where a statue once stood, but now only an ancient tarp remained in its place. And then she turned and hugged Marie as they both began to sob with tears mixed equally of joy, amazement, and not a little relief.

Time Line: Eons ago...
And so war rent the heavens themselves as angel fought angel while celestial blood rained from the clouds like water from the scuppers of a storm tossed ship. God would not aid the faction that supported him due to the compact of free will. And yet both sides were not only evenly matched, but also all casualties reformed soon after a battle. And so, the same battles were essentially fought over and over again with no end in sight.
Those following the word of God decided that the stalemate must end, and that Lucifer needed to be banished if God's plan was ever to unfold. And so in secret, the most powerful angels on the side of light gathered to forge the Heaven's Razors. Blades of immense power that amplified the wielders own speed and prowess, and more significantly severed an angel's ability to resurrect. Battles would no longer be eternal...
But, though victory was achieved and the angelic council did indeed banish Lucifer and his remaining followers, it was not without some unforeseen costs. For the Razors themselves had absorbed the essence of those they defeated. And in doing so gained power, sentience and the ability to influence the world around them in the process. The Angelic Council quickly moved to destroy the Razor's as some had developed a thirst for celestial blood. Yet a few of the most powerful Razors were found to be indestructible, having absorbed far to much of the essence of celestial beings they had slain.
Those few remaining blades were cast down from the heaven's and scattered across the mortal realms of the universe to greatly reduce their power by removing them from proximity to heaven. For a razor's power was in proportion to its proximity to celestial (and the new infernal) realms, the spirits it had extinguished, and the native ability of its wielder.
Each remaining blade was assigned a guardian to prevent it from returning to heaven, as well as from falling into the wrong hands. These guardians were chosen from a small pool of volunteers who agreed to have their power to return to heaven forever annulled as a safety precaution. They were chosen for a fair degree of competence, but were also far from the most powerful of angels for obvious reasons. Sometimes, these blades would be lent to a mortal for a time to further the plan. And sometimes compromises were made in selecting a guardian due to the limited pool of volunteers. . .
* * *
Time Line: Some thousands of years ago...
Angelic Councilmen, “And so the council finds you violated its tenants. But more so of helping a dark age descend on mankind that may last centuries. We understand that you have wandered the mortal realm for thousands upon thousands of years and that this may have clouded your judgement. And we acknowledge you have served your duty well... Up until this point.”
“You did indeed lend the Razor to Arthur and then assumed a role to follow him to ensure its proper use. But, you know well that loving a mortal is forbidden by the council, and the result of your actions could have grave consequences for history. We will not pass sentence on you, but rather allow mankind to do so. For it is they you have harmed by your actions. Do you accept our ruling?”
“I accept it as it is my duty, but do not agree with it.”, I replied
Angelic Councilmen, “This too was forseen. None the less, your punishment is accepted and so we will continue. (pause) You shall be banished from all contact with humans of this time. And we will leave it to them to forgive you, or not, at a later date when the ramifications of your actions will have long been apparent. I do not doubt that you will have several thousand planetary revolutions before they pass their judgement. For your sake Joesph, I hope it is one of forgiveness. (Sound of heavenly thunder).”
My last thought was of Guinevere. I hoped she would forgive me and all would be as it was. . .s
* * *
Time Line: About two years ago...
Before awakening again in some dungeon room to see two women dressed a bit like penguins start and look up at me in my angelic form. I quickly tried to sooth them, but they were already passing out in shock. Rather than revive them to only have them repeat the process, I teleported out of there and so began my education as to just how much the word had changed since I last walked among all of God's creations.
One thing became apparent, things were so very different. And yet no matter what had occurred in the past, and whatever the council may think. Humanity still needed some help in the here and now. As always, I adjusted and carried on, for that was my duty. Gradually I fit myself back into society by day as a stage magician, of all things. And as a 'super hero' as they call them, in secret. And so things went, at least until the talking box err... TV made a claim on my attentions.

Maybe something else needed to get to 2 P total...[sblock="Joesph's bg"]
Time Line: Approximately 2 years ago...
Sister Marie Donovan walked down the ancient basement steps right on Sister Angelique's heals. She disliked going into the Church's conservatory under basement. Not that it was scary per se, that was silly. After all, how frightening could a bunch of old and mostly decrepit music instruments be? It was just so dusty and well... the only other time she was ever down here was when she was still a novice, and she had felt as if she was being observed. What an odd sensation given almost no one ever came down here.
Angelique said, “So you want to take the right section... And I will do the left?”
Marie just nodded and tried to stifle a sneeze. Someone should clean down here at least once a century, she thought. But, best not bring it up to Mother Bene or she could guess who would get the job. . . Brrrrrr. What a cold pickle that one was. Putting Mother Bene out of her mind, Marie took out her note pad and doodled on a corner a few times to make sure her pen worked. That ritual completed she and Angelique begin patiently itemizing the various instruments for the inventory the church required each time the Pope changed. After a few minutes, the sound of some rustling and a rather mighty sneeze from Angelique broke the silence.
Angelique queried, “Now that is strange Marie. . . Why would someone have a statue down here?”
Marie answered, “Hrrrm?”, as she turned to see Angelic standing in the far basement corner, shrouded in a cloud of dust from having pulled an absolutely ancient looking tarp off of a life sized statue of an angel wielding a sword. She eyed the statury as she walked over, and thought it very life like indeed, although she admitted to herself that she was no expert. And replied, “Well Angelique, that should definitely be. . . somewhere that is not here anyway. Maybe we can get an idea of how old it is from the writing on the base?”
Both sisters knelt down around the statue and brushed off the dust covered base to reveal what appeared to be a very old form of maybe Celtic? “I am afraid I can not read this Marie. You studied wasted some time studying Celtic before you came here didn't you?”, said Angelique with a grin.
Brushing aside the mild jab with her curiosity aroused, Marie replied, “Yes, actually I think it is. . . but it looks like a very, very old form.” She concentrated trying to decipher the writing as best she could rubbing her temple with her left thumb as she concentrated. “How odd.”, was her only commented.
Never very patient, Angelique poked her gently in the ribs with a finger and said, “Well... Share already silly!”
Marie sighed, “It appears to be some sort of well. . . the best I can say is some sort of question or judgement put to mankind to banish or free... I am not sure over all, but this second part very definitely says 'choose to set me free.'”
She began to nod in satisfaction at her deciphering, but was interrupted by a bright flash and and a gentle but firm force that knocked both Angelique and herself prone. Marie shook her head, and looked up. . . And, gaped in amazement as the place where the statue had stood was now occupied by a very confused? And very live looking glowing angel? Holding a sword standing over them both.
A feeling of peace came over her, but not before a more natural reaction kicked in. Marie fainted. Before she completely went out, she vaguely understood communication in her mind that said “Thank you.” And then s o m e t h i n g. . . (fade to black)
Marie awoke to see Angelique's face leaning over her as she was being gently shaken and spoken too, “Marie! Marie!” she heard and replied, “I... I am awake... What happened?”
Angelique said in a confused tone, “I don't know. Do... Do you think that was actually an... ummm. . . And then we both fainted.” She and looked briefly at the spot where a statue once stood, but now only an ancient tarp remained in its place. And then she turned and hugged Marie as they both began to sob with tears mixed equally of joy, amazement, and not a little relief.

Time Line: Eons ago...
And so war rent the heavens themselves as angel fought angel while celestial blood rained from the clouds like water from the scuppers of a storm tossed ship. God would not aid the faction that supported him due to the compact of free will. And yet both sides were not only evenly matched, but also all casualties reformed soon after a battle. And so, the same battles were essentially fought over and over again with no end in sight.
Those following the word of God decided that the stalemate must end, and that Lucifer needed to be banished if God's plan was ever to unfold. And so in secret, the most powerful angels on the side of light gathered to forge the Heaven's Razors. Blades of immense power that amplified the wielders own speed and prowess, and more significantly severed an angel's ability to resurrect. Battles would no longer be eternal...
But, though victory was achieved and the angelic council did indeed banish Lucifer and his remaining followers, it was not without some unforeseen costs. For the Razors themselves had absorbed the essence of those they defeated. And in doing so gained power, sentience and the ability to influence the world around them in the process. The Angelic Council quickly moved to destroy the Razor's as some had developed a thirst for celestial blood. Yet a few of the most powerful Razors were found to be indestructible, having absorbed far to much of the essence of celestial beings they had slain.
Those few remaining blades were cast down from the heaven's and scattered across the mortal realms of the universe to greatly reduce their power by removing them from proximity to heaven. For a razor's power was in proportion to its proximity to celestial (and the new infernal) realms, the spirits it had extinguished, and the native ability of its wielder.
Each remaining blade was assigned a guardian to prevent it from returning to heaven, as well as from falling into the wrong hands. These guardians were chosen from a small pool of volunteers who agreed to have their power to return to heaven forever annulled as a safety precaution. They were chosen for a fair degree of competence, but were also far from the most powerful of angels for obvious reasons. Sometimes, these blades would be lent to a mortal for a time to further the plan. And sometimes compromises were made in selecting a guardian due to the limited pool of volunteers. . .

Time Line: Some thousands of years ago...
Angelic Councilmen, “And so the council finds you violated its tenants. But more so of helping a dark age descend on mankind that may last centuries. We understand that you have wandered the mortal realm for thousands upon thousands of years and that this may have clouded your judgement. And we acknowledge you have served your duty well... Up until this point.”
“You did indeed lend the Razor to Arthur and then assumed a role to follow him to ensure its proper use. But, you know well that loving a mortal is forbidden by the council, and the result of your actions could have grave consequences for history. We will not pass sentence on you, but rather allow mankind to do so. For it is they you have harmed by your actions. Do you accept our ruling?”
“I accept it as it is my duty, but do not agree with it.”, I replied
Angelic Councilmen, “This too was forseen. None the less, your punishment is accepted and so we will continue. (pause) You shall be banished from all contact with humans of this time. And we will leave it to them to forgive you, or not, at a later date when the ramifications of your actions will have long been apparent. I do not doubt that you will have several thousand planetary revolutions before they pass their judgement. For your sake Joesph, I hope it is one of forgiveness. (Sound of heavenly thunder).”
My last thought was of Guinevere. I hoped she would forgive me and all would be as it was. . .s

Time Line: About two years ago...
Before awakening again in some dungeon room to see two women dressed a bit like penguins start and look up at me in my angelic form. I quickly tried to sooth them, but they were already passing out in shock. Rather than revive them to only have them repeat the process, I teleported out of there and so began my education as to just how much the word had changed since I last walked among all of God's creations.
One thing became apparent, things were so very different. And yet no matter what had occurred in the past, and whatever the council may think. Humanity still needed some help in the here and now. As always, I adjusted and carried on, for that was my duty. Gradually I fit myself back into society by day as a stage magician, of all things. And as a 'super hero' as they call them, in secret. And so things went, at least until the talking box err... TV made a claim on my attentions.

Just checking in to say that I have basically finished up Salix's stats; I'll post them later tonight after going over them once again and checking my math.
Oh, yeah... and I also wanted to suggest that there should most definitely be lots of scenes that take place in parks.

Tom Lehrer is clearly an animal-abusing supervillain, and that dastardly, psychopathic serial killer (of small birds) will be brought to justice, no matter the cost! So swears Captain PETA!
