The power names are so evocative and badass, but these guys aren't all that powerful. Yet. I presume you'll be editing up to full PL 10 goodness.

I like the idea of Yggdrasil personified as a kind of Treebeard, swinging swords of light or whips of night.

Yes, neither version of Yg is done, yet. I’m gaming offline right now, so I’m holding that off ‘til tomorrow.

—-/>_-This is a completed massive suit of armor Equipment build.
Complications:
A Great and Terrifying Destroyer
Sol Invictus II breaks things—-it is his purpose. Peace is his bane.
Inflexible Mentality
There is the Roman way—-the correct way; then there is the barbarian way—-the incorrect way. It is as simple as that.
Suffers a Severe Lack of Comprehension of Diplomatic Solutions to Interpersonal Problems
Diplomacy is for weaklings. War makes men strong. Ave Imperator!
Quote: ”AVE IMPERATOR!”
—-/>_-This is a completed Sol Invictus II build.
Born a full Roman citizen, Sol Invictus’ real name is Carnifex Theodosius.

Complications:
Cynical and World-Weary
Hates Skytower Giants AND Skytower Magi Equally
The gods defeated the titans and imprisoned these wicked progenitor-deities in Tartarus. It seems, however, the titans have gotten loose...this time wearing human skin. For Rome to survive, Saturn’s reincarnated Kin must absolutely be brought under Roman control, or Jupiter will let fly his terrible rage...
Ruthlessly Pragmatic
Quote: ”All things are according to the gods’ design, but...it is up to men to make that into existence. Men such as me.”
—-/>_-This is a completed Pontus build.
Pontus is the father of the cloudspirit Skytower Giantess named Voidstrider. Their familial relationship has since disintegrated under the weight of Pontus’ hatred for the Kindred.

[Earth-B]the Monolithic!

Post by Hoid »

The Monolithic are the 12 ur-mutants who lead the Las Vegas Murmur Priesthood as Gnostic saints and serene bodhisattvas. Each Monolith is a huge obsidian figure, vaguely humanoid, frozen In place...but with minds FULL of raw psychic power! Each Monolith was originally a Tumor mutant, ‘til The Purity’s attack on Las Vegas inadvertently led to an EPIC-if-unanticipated metamorphosis into the Monolithic.

The Monolithic are more alike than they are UNalike, so, I’ll be listing a generic Monolith build then post the modifications to this template each Monolith possesses.

[Earth-B]the Monolithic.
Background Writeup:
All Monolithic are POWERFULLY psychic!
PL9/200pp. (Massive sessile titans [good].)
Attributes: Strength - (-), Dexterity - (-), Constitution 28 (+9), Intelligence 30 (+10), Wisdom 28 (+9), Charisma 12 (+1). [58pp.]

Saves: Toughness (+9) +9, Fortitude (+9) +11, Reflex (-) -, Will (+9) +11. [4pp.]
Feats: Sidekick 10 (each Monolith has a single Malignant Tumor mutant ‘interpreter’; built on PL6/150pp), Trance. [11pp.]
Skills: Concentrate (+9) +13, Diplomacy (+1) +5, Knowledges (+10) [noetics] +22, Knowledges (+10) [theology] +22, Professions (+9) [Gnostic Christian priests] +13, Sense Motive (+9) +17. [11pp.]

Drawbacks: Disability (-10pp; utterly immobile).
Complications:
Enigmatic Demigods
The Monolithic are like all cosmic entities, in that they are very fond of giving vague, open-to-interpretation pseudo-answers to even the simplist questions.
Silent...Mostly
When a Monolith speaks, it is worthwhile to pay attention.
Utter Hatred of The Purity
Transformed as they were by a super-bomb created by The Purity, the Monolithic loathe and abhor every facet of these anti-mutant fanatics.
—-/>_-This is a completed generic Monolith build.
Each Monolith was, prior to the destruction of Las Vegas, a Malignant Tumor mutant.

[Earth-B]Andrew’s interpreter.
PL6/150pp. (Telepathic Malignant Tumor mutant [good].)

Theme Song:
PL9/263pp. (‘God’-caller [good].)
Add the following skill:
Bluff +8. [2pp.]
Add the following power:
Summon Pantheons: Summon Minion 20 (thoughtforms resembling deities of human mythology; each is built on PL7/145pp; x11 numbers; Extras: Horde, Progression 3 [number summonable per turn]). [63pp.]
Add the following complication:
Insufferably Arrogant
She’s arrogant, no question about it. She can conjure thoughtforms representing the gods of old. This means it appears that she’s commanding the hosts of Heaven. Though she does know she’s really only controlling various thoughtforms, Kylie’s unique power has begun to go her head.
Quote: ”MYTHOLOGY HAS A REALITY AS VALID AS ANY MUNDANE CORPOREALITY.”
—-/>_-This is a completed Kylie the Mythseer build.

[Earth-B]Kylie’s interpreter.

Alone among the Monolithic, Kylie belongs to the multiversal-yet-sessile Worlds’ Henge.

Add the following powers: [30pp.]
Voidconjuration: Summon Minion 10 (a Void-thoughtform; built on PL8/150pp; Extras: Heroic). [30pp.]
Add the following complication:
Relentlessly, Insatiably Curious
She must know! Truth equates to apotheosis! To gain a state higher than Monolith, she must learn as much factual data as if possible, then form correlations between utterly unrelated topics—-thus seeing the divine blueprint and thus...ascending.
Quote: ”’YOU’ AND ‘I’ ARE ILLUSIONARY AND FIGMENTS OF THE DREAMER. WE ARE ALL THAT DREAMER, FOREVER ON THAT CUSP BETWEEN WAKEFULNESS AND DELUSION.”

Erin, pre-apotheosis—-even pre-Ectoplasmic Pollination—-was an astronaut for NASA, and had done several missions. She eventually transformed into a squat, chitinous Tumor who had really long-range telepathy...but, post-apotheosis, that telepathy TRANSFORMED, and now can conjure alien thoughtforms to Earth from millions of lightyears away, to do her bidding.

Add the following complication:
Believes Destiny is Fixed and Immutable
Time can’t change. What was, will be forever. What will be, has the impossible weight of the avalanche. And what is, is in the hands of unseen gods. Actions are preordained. Free will is an illusion. We are all puppets; he’s just a puppet who can see his strings...
Quote: ”THE FUTURE IS IMMUTABLE, DO NOT FIGHT IT; LET TEMPORAL INEVITABILITY TAKE ITS DREADFUL COURSE...!”
—-/>_-This is a completed David the Oracle’s Voice build.

Quote:

Alexa’s interpreter is currently at 128pp out of 150pp total.
Her full name is Alexa Fitzroye.

Alexa is a disorganized schizophrenic with trouble separating fantasy from reality. Her transformation (first into a perfectly translucent ‘living illusion’ Malignant Tumor, then into a Monolith) has set her even further adrift, unlatching Alexa from all mundanity.

—-/>_-This is a completed the Immortuus build.
THIS is the Immortuus, aka Clancy Argo. Not a Demiogre, the Immortuus was, until recently, a baseline magus, or, to say, a psychic utterly unaffected by Ogresymbiosis. However, the Starvampires of Earth-L got their talons into him, broke him psychically, then recast him as a lich. He was then forced to serve his Night House for many years, until, finally—-blessedly!—-the Immortuus was rescued by the Sungods.

Slowly rebuilt psychologically by the Sunsphinx, the Immortuus now harbors an INTENSE loathing of all Starvampires—-and, by default, all Tlolkku.

MUCH More Multiversally Aware Than One Might Think
Secretly Helping the Multiverse-Spanning Red Sons
World-Class A*****e
Power corrupts, and absolute power can, sometimes, turn someone into a gigantic turdmonger. Never a nice person to begin with, the Orbital Man’s transformation into a Benign Tumor only worsened these noxious personality-traits to the utmost degree. Simply being in contact with the Orbital Man for any significant length is taxing and unpleasant in the extreme.
Quote: ”The gods are real, and I shall join their exalted ranks.”
—-/>_-This is a completed Orbital Man build.
The Orbital Man’s real name is Avery Kale.

Several much-weaker individuals serve the Orbital Man: Dr. Leopold Wynters.

The Orbital Man’s twelve Orbitals:
Earth, an animal rights activist, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Earth.
Jupiter, a charismatic televangelist, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Jupiter.
The Many Talons, a career criminal, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of the Many Talons.
Mars, a brutal thug, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Mars.
Neptune, a literal pirate—-a Somali pirate, to be exact—-is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Neptune.
Uranus, another animal rights activist, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Uranus.
Pluto, a serial killer surgeon, is given a copy of the Orbital Man’s Path of Pluto.
...and so on.

Allied with Fu Manchu, the Orbital Man’s also formed a dangerous agreement with the nascent cosmic entity Oblivion Dot.
NOTE: if ever freed from his orbital imprisonment, the Orbital Man’s PL and powers would jump significantly.

This is Hobgoblin, a half-Dreamer (‘Moonborn’) son of Many Spheres and a Moonborn concubine named Phantasmagoria. He belongs to both the Faerie Court of Many Spheres and the multiverse-spanning Sungods!
”Why,” you ask, “are Hobgoblin’s Drawbacks so occult-y? I thought there is no magic?” Yes, magic doesn’t exist, but, being half-Dreamer, Moonborn must tailor themselves to the myths of human stories, to help ‘anchor’ their identities in solid, human permanence—-sort of akin to the same process a thoughtform can use to become human.

I like the Fascinate via trick archery. That's a clever idea.

Looking forward to seeing how the bow works. "Oneirokinetic," eh?

Very creative stuff, Hoid. Are you running a game with these builds or is this is a private setting? I could probably figure it out from earlier posts, but I'm getting lazier in my old age, if that was even possible. ;)

Thanks!

Well, it was, briefly, a pair of PbP games, but real life intruded and I had to close both games down. So, right now, all this is just in my head (and now HERE).
