Arsenal

Image

Power Level: 8(150/150PP)
Unspent Power Points: 0 
Trade-Offs: +2Attack / - 2 Damage,

In Brief: ex-hitman looking for redemption. : 
Catchphrase: next. 
Theme: Bodycount by Ice-T and bodycount.

Alternate Identity: Leon Chekov: (Secret)
Birthplace: The Ukraine
Residence: Sunshine apartments.
Base of Operations: Mr Fixit mobile repair van.
Occupation: Locksmith
Affiliations: none yet
Family: Father Pietr Vladunov-retired ex-policeman from kharkiv, Mother Ludmilla Vladunov - housewife from Kharkiv, Sister Anastasia Tajik -nurse Kyiv general hospital.

Description:
Age: 42 (DoB: 1976, 30th, November)
Apparent Age:40's.
Gender: male
Ethnicity: slavic
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 260lbs
Eyes: grey
Hair: sandy hair

Leon is a solidly built man with short sandy hair and cold grey eyes that don't seem to miss much. He has many small scars on his face and arms. He tends to wear well-worn jeans and work boots with a flannel shirt and a jacket, baseball cap and dark glasses. 

History:
Leon went from special forces, to mercenary to elite hit man, stopping in every nasty war along the way, honing his skills in the crucible of combat.
When his squad recieved a direct hit by a mortar crew Leon woke up somewhere else, a strange formless void.
'Am I dead?' he thought to himself. This didn't seem like heaven or hell, besides he wasn't ready to be dead yet. He fought his way out to find he was the only survivor and that his near-death experience had triggered a latent power, enabling him to make use of a small pocket of "somewhere else". It served him well when he tired of mercenary life and became a sought-after hitman.
He could go through any metal detector on the planet, past any sniffer dog with a case of hand grenades and illegal substances and no-one would know. Business was good, too good. Not everyone saw what he did as a simple transaction, some took it personally. As the heat began to build up he decided it was time to retire and try a new career somewhere where no-one knows him, one that no-one would ever suspect him of, hero.

Personality & Motivation:
Leon is a professional. He likes to get a job done. If he says he will do something he will do it. He is determined. He is not a smooth talker or a charmer and tends to prefer simple direct action.

He is trying to redeem himself for his past crimes and make a new life for himself. He is also bored. After a life living on the edge an ordinary 9-5 seems like a death sentence. Capturing criminals alive is so much more challenging and entertaining than simply killing them. It is nice to be appreciated for his help, instead of despised.

Powers & Tactics:
Leon pulls weapons and equipment from out of what he calls "his black bag". He prefers to attack from a distance and using surprise, softening up his opponents with different sorts of non-lethal grenades. He will lay down covering fire while his team mates go in for the heavy hitting. Although he can take on ordinary humans in hand-to-hand he is aware of his limitations against super-powered individuals. Although he has used his dimensional space as a portal to somewhere else (short range teleport) or to hide in, this is normally an act of desperation.

Power Descriptions:
Leon/Arsenal can access a small inter-dimensional space. It looks like his hand just disappears.

Complications:
More than just business. Some people took exception to Leon doing his job and want to get vengeance on him.
My baby is locked in the car. Leon is trying to set up a small business as a handyman. Sometimes clients want a job done NOW! It really gets in the way of being a hero sometimes.
Drug dealers are the lowest form of life. Leon hates drug dealers because he has seen the awful harm that drugs do to families and children. he still feels guilty about the part he had to play in helping drug dealers smuggle their product.
Code of honour. No killing, no children.

Flicker PL10/150pp

When Richard was born he had a genetic disorder that meant his nerve endings were completely atrophied. His father Wilhelm Pope, a scientist that some considered a genius and others considered a madman beyond the fringe of crackpot science, worked on fixing the problem any way possible. After years of experiments on Richard, some unethical, some merely horrendously painful, his father eventually found a way to restore the damage by replacing nerve fibres with a prototype material that was quantum entangled meaning that Richard could process information and react instantly. There was a side effect though. Richard could see the quantum structure of the universe and was able to make rifts or minor wormholes that connected 2 points without passing through the intervening space. He became his father's lab rat as his father became enthralled with the potential of what his son could do and made Richard push his body and skills to the limits. To master his gross motor skills he was trained in martial arts and gymnastics. For his fine motor skills he learned magic tricks and juggling.

Eventually the strain of living this way was too much and Richard decided to run away from home. Life on the streets was easy. No-one bothered to hassle him and if they did it they soon found out that Richard was trickier to deal with than he looked. He busked using his magic tricks to earn money. He became pretty good. It wasn't until he interrupted some people robbing a bank though that he found some real excitement at last. When he foiled the robbery the attention and praise he got felt better than anything he could remember.

That was the moment that Flicker was born.Image

Since then Flicker has spent his time dealing with criminals, doing street performances to earn a few dollars legitimately and performing in children's hospitals. He remembers the nightmare of his own childhood and wants to ease the suffering of others who might be going through something similar.

Although he has worked with others he has not found a group he really clicked with yet.

Weaknesses.
Weakness. Richard sees in black and white. Although he can see the structure of the universe he has trouble making out small details like colour. (1pp)
Weakness. Richard cannot see anything that is insubstantial. (1pp)


Complication [enemy] Richard's dad and the organisation he works for want to recapture Richard to see if they can make the quantum entanglement system work on anyone else.
Complication [distrust] Richard has a deep mistrust of scientists and new technology. He is deeply afraid that they will nullify the QES and leave him trapped in his body again.
Complication [fear] Richard has a fear of needles thanks to his upbringing.
Complication [personality] ADD. Due to his advanced processing 1 hour can feel like 10. Richard gets bored easily.
Complication [responsibility] Richard tries to get to the children's hospitals every weekend to entertain the kids.
Complication [personality] Self-conscious. Dr Pope, Richard's dad was a far better scientist than a surgeon. Richard's body is covered with fine scars from all the experimental procedures his father tried, especially where nerve endings are densest (face, hands). Richard is very shy about people seeing his body uncovered.
Complication [curiosity] Richard's father told him that his mother died when he was born. Lately Richard has come to wonder whether that is true or not and is trying to find out what really happened to her.

Second: In the post itself, provide your character sheet, using the format detailed below!

Personality & Motivation:
(Describe why they do what they do here.)



Powers & Tactics:

Plastic Fantastic

Power level: 10 (150pp)
Trade-offs: -2 Defence +2 Toughness

In Brief: Naïve elastic alien tries to make Earth a better place.
Theme: Barbie Girl by Aqua.
Alternative identity: Although he can be anyone he wants he doesn't have a permanently established alternative persona.
Birthplace: Biodome 7, Klovanis Orbital, Horsehead Nebula.
Residence: 1480 King Boulevard (Crossroads)
Base of Operations:?
Occupation: stunt double.
Affiliations: none yet
Family: The gestacracy of Klovia, just not in this galaxy.

Description
His/it's appearance is malleable at whim. He prefers an attractive male build and plays around with skin, hair and eye colour.
He will either be in his Plastic Fantastic build in a very colourful spandex outfit or in something that looks like it came from the latest fashion houses (for better or worse).




History
Plastic Fantastic (A.K.A Raphael Winfrey), came to Earth as a tourist. He chose his earth normative package that came with languages, a neural overlay to provide some basic skills and his booster shots. He chose Earth because he was on a budget and because it is in a relatively unfashionable part of the universe there wouldn't be too many crowds and package tours.
Although it smelled bad, had barbaric technology and practices, and it's people had never heard of cerebronanobiotic personality reformation or even a decent Alderbaaran zvlorsht, there was a vibrancy that got under his skin. He decided to stay for a while. He discovered that humans were carbon based and used calcium for their internal structure. They weren't long chain polymer based at all! If they wanted to change their appearance they had to use paints or actual surgery. They were these strange rigid bags of water and mineral deposits. Despite that they were full of life, and variety, trying to overcome their obvious physical deficiencies.

Personality and motivation
Raphael is still pretty naive about Earth and Earthlings but wants to help it. He is a pretty simple soul. He hates seeing sentients hurting other sentients and will do anything to prevent it. His code of behavior comes from visual information units on the local infoserver known as 'cable' such as 'bad boys', 'ace venturer', 'hot fuzz' and 'lord of the rings' and many more. In his old life he spent many a solan doing the same thing in his job over and over, just one more clone in the protocarbon restabilisation unit, never making a difference, with no-one even seeming to notice him but here he can really make people's lives better. Here he can be special.




Powers and tactics

Raphael soon discovered that most humans are not very stretchy. Even gymnasts and yoga masters are as stiff as boards compared to a Klovian like himself. He soon found out that they are quite easy to tie up and don't like a spring powered punch or two. Because they are so limited in ways they can change their appearance they don't seem to realise that other people might be better at changing their appearance.
This has helped get Raphael into lots of places.

Complications

Catchphrase: What about my comission
Birthplace: Shropshire

History
Phillip Jebediah Merriweather decided that Antiquities were the field of Endeavour that he wanted to get into. He found it fascinating digging up the ruins of the past. What he found especially fascinating was the enormous amount of money collectors would pay him for his finds. The British Museum decided to retain his somewhat unorthodox services to enable them to increase their collection. He is smart, cunning and has picked up a few incantations and spells along the way.

Leon Dassler (pl 6) 60pp+15

Trade-Offs: ±X Attack / ±X Damage, ±X Defense / ±X Toughness (or "None")

Highlander meets the Dresden Files. Eternal playboy.

Theme: Sympathy for the devil.

Birthplace: Italy.

Age. 2015
Apparent Age: late 20's
Gender: Male.
Ethnicity: Mediterranean
Height: 5'6"
Weight:
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Light Brown.

History: Since he stuck the spear in the side of Christ, Leonidas (Leon Dassler) has been blessed/cursed to wander the earth for all eternity righting wrongs to earn his place in heaven.

Personality & Motivation:
After living for over two centuries Leon struggles with boredom. He is a hedonist looking for adventure (so long as it doesn't hurt too much). He would much rather talk his way out of trouble than fight his way out.

Powers & Tactics:
He is immortal. In his time he has learned a few magic tricks and skills to help him out. He prefers to snipe and support his team mates than be the tough guy at the front.

Complications:
Coward. He is strongly averse to risking himself.
Hedonist. He can resist anything but temptation.
Enemies. If certain religious minorities find out he stabbed Christ they will want retribution.
Secret. If big Pharma and the medical profession find out he is immortal he will become a lab rat somewhere.

Pretty solid build-he's something of an archetypal 1990s/early-2000s super-solider type, a skill-monkey with an emphasis on gunplay/heavy munitions than hand-to-hand combat. The "bottomless satchel of weapons" power isn't wholly original (I think the first to use it was Marvel's Devil-Slaver), but it saves him from being just another "elite mercenary" type, and actually plays off the cinematic trope where somehow action heroes can carry way more guns and ammo than humanly possible, never having to worry about running dry or overheating barrels through excessive fire. His combat advantages let him modify his caps in a lot of different ways, allowing Arsenal in hang in combat against foes who are "out of his weight-class" in terms of raw power. His motivations (Complications) are solid, as is his backstory. BTW, did you name him Leon after the antihero featured in the Professional movie?

All my best.

Yes, one of my favourite characters... It is also hard to come up with a completely original idea that isn't a) unworkable or b) really dumb.
