Totem, thanks for telling us. Everybody else, I expect to do a final check on character sheets, and start the IC thread (threads?) within the next 12 hours.

[Lamech]

In light of this post, my character sheet has one more slight modification.
Name: Cee Age: 19
Character Sheet

Spoiler:  

Attributes [100]
ST 8 [-20] IQ 18 [160] HT 10 [0] DX 10 [0]
Basic Speed 5 Basic Move 5 HP 8 [0] FP 10 [0]
Will 18 [0] Per 10 [-40]
Reaction Rolls: Disturbing Voice, Phantom Voice (sometimes), Low Status, -3 or -5


Powers: True Psionics: As from psi-powers except, due to training from an angel (or hallucinations), the power is cosmic, and gets the advantages of being a cosmic power as per Powers. In addition, all the “powers” (psychokinesis, telepathy, probability alteration ect.) are under one power, and use one talent: True Psionics, and True Psionics Talent. Total Cost [287]

Power: Alter Reality
Skill: Reality Revision
Description: The mightiest of psionic powers, the ability to undo and redo reality. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it sounds; the new reality needs to be prepared ahead of time, and it will collapse if left unpowered. The basic power is the affliction. The enhancements represent pre-built bits of reality, stored in the user’s soul and ready to be copied into the overworld.
Affliction [Power Mod +50%, Fixed Duration +0% Duration*1000 +120% (3000 minutes) Malediction +200% Selectivity +10% No Signature +20%
Modular Abilities: Cosmic Unslotted 1: (Reduced Time 1 +20%) +120%
Destiny 2 (MH) (game-time) +100%
Extraordinary Luck (game time) +300%
Alternative Enhancements
Injury Tolerance: Damage Reduction: 2 +500% OR Heart Attack +300% Cursed +75% Quadriplegic +80%
162

Power: Psychic Regeneration
Skill: Psychic Healing
Description: A specialized version of normal Psychic Healing, this version constantly and subconsciously works on the user.
Regeneration (slow): Power Modifier +50% [15]

Power: Build Reality
Skill: Reality Revision
Description: This build and sustains chunks of reality on the fly. Then they are stored in the user’s soul until they are ready to be copied into the overworld. In game terms the slot can be used to add enhancements to afflictions.
Modular Abilities: Cosmic Slotted: 1 slot 25 points:
(Power Mod +50% Immediate Preparation Required: 8 hours -90% Physical Attributes: +50%, Only for enhancing afflictions to grant advantages that last 3000 minutes -50%)
Cost: [80]


Power: Adjustment
Skill: Adjustment
By thinking of an outcome the users bends probability to make the desired outcome happen. This is much easier if the user can account for all factors. This works as the visualization power except a skill roll is used. Skill above IQ may only be used to help negate penalties, otherwise the skill gets a bit silly. Note: In combat this may only be used once per turn.
Visualization: (Reduced time 7+140% Power Mod+50%+reliable 2 +10%)
[30]


Perks [3]:
SOP: Afflict whoever is on her sense of duty list (and herself) of people with all the good* parts of her affliction, once an hour when she is awake and near them. *Specifically all the advantages, except for the parts relating to her looks.
No nuisance rolls: Doesn't need to roll in non-adventuring situations for standard uses of reality revision.
Accessory: Clothes always has a decent set of clothes. Loose cargo pants, a shirt and a trench coat. They somehow avoid serious damage no matter what happens, unless someone specifically targets them. And in cases of death she ends up with a new set upon revival, and if they are destroyed or damaged they always end up replaced in a few days.

Notes on Advantages/disadvantages:
The affliction uses the new rule in power-ups 4 for alternative abilities. I assume that you can have other enhancements that are just always on.
Her modular ability power (not the slot from the affliction) is normally set too adding unaging, Resistant: All diseases and environmental syndromes attractive and perk: passing looks androgynous. The unaging thing only started about a month ago.
For those of you who didn’t buy MH 1, it is a) awesome and b) has a slightly different version of destiny. You can store “destiny points” equal to your destiny level. They can be spent like CP as per the side bar on pg 347 (although the costs for influencing the scene are dependent on how big the change is). In addition destiny points can be used to help pay for extra life post death (although I suspect Michael will still require an in game justification), or reduce an injury to 1 HP for a destiny point.
You get a new one each week of game time*, up to your destiny level.
*Normally each session but the “game time” enhancement changes hours to days of game time and sessions to weeks of game time.

Cee's equipment 2 unspent CP

AAAaaaaaaand the final draft is made, dropped DX back to 10 ( he is supposed to have no talent, making him have DX 12 kinda defeated that purpose) used those points to bring my skills back to where they were and raised HT ( his only talent is stamina). I also go to sleep now.

EDIT:: look at my sig for updated sheet

Thanks for the help with this, Erhnam, I really appreciate it. This is more or less final. Very excited about what's to come ^_^

[LemmingLord]

Looks final to me!


Danilo Porras
aka Fidelis

Danilo Porras was raised in a small rural village in Mexico; when he was 13 his uncle took him up north for a summer to make some cash selling knock-off copies of VHS tapes to american tourists. He was fairly bad at the selling but was fascinated by his uncle's bank of VHS recorders. In a humerous moment helping his uncle out in this process, Danilo would eject a VHS tape and find the VHS player said it still had a tape in it - he would press eject...and another tape would eject....and so forth... His uncle at first believed that he had a great talent for "magic tricks," but soon Danilo was able to copy objects at will and his uncle sat down with him to discuss how they should use this new ability.

For those first couple years, Danilo would often copy a person's wallet in a technique his uncle called super duping. His uncle would then use his contacts to sell the credit cards to a local crime network. The sheer volume of credit cards gathered in this way got the attention of a local crime boss and Danilo's uncle was "promoted" to help manage a local charity, a front for all manner of anonymous tips (stolen cash).

Danilo continued to work for his uncle at this time at the same time as he went to a private catholic school. By hiring tutors, Danilo was able to catch up for the school time he had missed in his uncle's employ, and catch up on girls. One of his girlfriends was a political activist whose parents had crossed over to America illegally and had sent one letter but were never heard from again. Danilo became very generous and would duplicate the envelope his girlfriend had saved, with cash he had copied. That girlfriend left him to move to the United States (legally) to look for her parents...

Danilo's uncle retires very early to the United States and Danilo goes with. Danilo takes business classes and promises to invest his uncle's money for him. Danilo researches several companies looking to front his abilities in a different more positive, less criminal, manner. He eventually begins working for one of these companies called "Brilliant Earth," which creates synthetic diamonds. Danilo makes friends with key personell in the laboratory and in accounting and reveals his abilities.

Since then, Brilliant Earth has made incredible gains on its investments, able to make diamonds with sometimes twenty times the efficiency of other similiar companies. Danilo is now a considerable stockholder in Brilliant Earth, and is still on the books as a "special consultant," spending a few days a week duplicating their diamonds for them.

Now Danilo does what he really likes to do, work with charities to help the poor, especially immigrants from Mexico, have a chance for a better life and citizenship in the United States. More recently he has begun to work to end world hunger.

Recently a MIB / Shield type agent approached Danilo, explained to him that they know all about his abilities, and would like to encourage his cooperation in saving the world from supers who aren't quite as generous as Danilo. Wanting to help, and not wanting his American citizenship paperwork to suddenly be lost or the companies or charities he loves suddenly audited by the IRS Danilo readily agrees.

"There's just one thing... There's no way I can fight super villains hand to hand.. I would get squished."

"I'm sure we will find some ways to make your talents useful."

Now, after six weeks of testing and learning, Danilo has learned that he is a mutant and has the ability to detect other mutants. His first assignment has been to keep an eye on several local supers in (i think we decided we are based in New York Citty). He has done so and is presently trying to act like a mentor type like his uncle was to him, to keep other inexperienced supers from getting into trouble.

LemingLord, you could lower those IQ skills and raise your IQ for the same price, while keeping the same skill levels. Higher Per and Will for free, as well as raising your IQ defaults. And don't you make IQ rolls for your Snatcher ability?

[Skullcrusher]

Michael,

I have a couple things to add to my character sheet (mainly some more standard ammo...don't want to waste the good stuff on low level thugs.... :)

[Skullcrusher]

I'll weigh in on the connection factor. I don't mind Nightwatch being an aquintance of Totem's character. Although he mostly works alone under the direction of his patron... So I see the connect loose at best where they run into each and mostly at "Gun point" give each other space and sometimes cooperate but his reputation as a violent vigilante to the police makes him a bit wary around coppers.
