Name: Elwin Malefazel Character Concept: A small, small town guy out to make good in the world and hopefully become a hero. Description: Elwin has a lithe build and is short even for a gnome. His hair and short beard are rusted brown and frame a boyish face of well tanned skin and bright green eyes that seem to perpetually sparkle. He conceals much of this under a deep hooded dark green cloak that he wears over brown leather armor and an olive toned tunic. Everything he wears is more utilitarian than fashionable though it all is cast in earthy tones and rich greens. Character’s Plothook: Past is Prologue : Born to a humble family of gnomish farmers, Elwin always had a thirst for knowledge and adventure that extended far beyond the rolling hills of his homeland. As a young gnome, he was apprenticed to a respected wizard who recognized his prodigious talent for the arcane arts. Under his mentor's tutelage, Elwin excelled in his studies, mastering fundamental spells and delving into the intricacies of magical theory with an unquenchable curiosity. However, fate took an unexpected turn when a tragic event shattered his idyllic life. During an expedition to recover a lost artifact, Elwin's mentor and several of his fellow apprentices fell prey to a band of ruthless raiders. In the chaos that ensued, Elwin witnessed the brutal murder of his teacher and narrowly escaped with his own life. Haunted by the memory of that fateful day, Elwin vowed to avenge his fallen mentor and bring the raiders to justice. Driven by a thirst for vengeance and a newfound determination, Elwin abandoned his wizardly pursuits and embarked on a path of adventure as a rogue. He honed his skills in stealth, agility, and cunning, becoming a formidable opponent in both the shadows and on the battlefield. His adventures led him to encounter a diverse cast of companions, from valiant warriors to enigmatic sorcerers, who aided him in his quest for justice and self-discovery. Along his journey, Elwin's arcane knowledge proved to be an invaluable asset, despite his transition to a more martial lifestyle. His understanding of spells and enchantments allowed him to outwit his enemies, create diversions, and heal his comrades in times of need. The fusion of his magical prowess with his roguish skills made him a versatile and formidable adventurer, capable of overcoming any obstacle that stood in his path. Loyalties: Diety:

Sorry for the delay I swear I posted his resilience check.

I am not a forever DM anymore but I still spend 90+% of my time behind the screen. So when I’m lucky enough to run a character on these forums really appreciate it.

Ugh oh no! I’d be all for pushing forward with recruitment if you’re all up for it. I really wanted to play this through.

His personal force field flaring into existence and he enters the main doors and begins a careful search.

Daniel returns to his duties for the family foundation. Beginning with making his apologies for his earlier hasty departure and catching up on the days business.

Indigo joins the others to hear what Fury has to say but stays quiet until Fury opens the floor for questions. Indigo is clearly still shaken by the loss of Captain America. Who or what did Captain America die to stop from coming through that portal?

Any chance we can agree that we roll 3d6 in the dicebot and use the second reported number as the Marvel die rather than having to roll 2d6 and 1d6 separately?

His protective sphere expands outward pushing enemies away while keeping allies close. Hoping that on of the heroes can help the Captain.

Indigo - Health:60 / Focus 110 Daniel was looking over a run down building as part of an assessment for the Hawthorne foundation. A pair of young restauranteurs were looking to help revitalize part of Hell’s Kitchen with a new eatery and had applied to the foundation for some financial backing. While following the building inspector working their way around the second floor Daniel spotted the smoke out of a window. He quickly feigned an urgent phone call and made his excuses to leave. he changed into his dark blue and black costume in an adjacent empty building before rushing to the scene. Upon spotting the hydra agents and their leader from down the street as he arrives, Indigo shouts out, “Hold it right there!” He then reaches out a hand and projects a dark blue force dome (Elemental Prison) over the hydra agents and their leader attempting to trap as many as possible while keeping them away from their portal device. Ego Check: (2,2,5) = 9 Unfortunately, in his haste, Indigo centers the force bubble too high and completely misses all of the Hydra agents, their leader and the portal.

Yes indigo was using his Force Barrier to offer those who want it some cover to attack from.

Indigo Health 60/60 Focus 115/120 Indigo moves forward placing himself alongside Hardcase and creating a dark blue Barrier between the heroes and the robot.

He’s modeled after the invisible woman but his force fields while still transparent have a dark blue hue - hence his name.

Civit, I decided Indigo doesn’t have a secret identity though it’s not exactly widely know yet either. So Daniel and Kate know each other from their common family involvements but may have also worked together as heroes.

Initiative:(5,5,3) = 13

I needed to add his last trait - took Iron Will. I wasn’t thrilled with losing flight but hopefully I can pick it up later on if we get a chance to advance.

Sorry to see you two go. I have really nbeen enjoying reading the tavern posts while trying to get my character ready to join in. It’s unfortunate that he won’t get to fight evil alongside your characters.

Still a work in progress. Still have an outstanding trait to pick Codename:Indigo Rank:[ 2 Real Name: Daniel Hawthorne Height:5’ 10” Weight: 165 lbs Gender: Male Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Size: Medium Origin: Weird Science Occupation: Military Health: 60 Damage Reduction:0 Focus: 120 Damage Reduction:0 Karma: 2 Speed: Run 5, Climb 3, Swim 3, Abilities: Melee 0 Agility 4 Resilience 2 Vigilance 3 Ego 1 Logic 0 Damage: Melee 2x +0 Agility 2x +4 Ego 3x +1 Logic 2x +0 Traits: Battle Ready (+30 Focus) Connections: Military iron Will Situational Awareness (edge on initiative checks) Surprising Power: Energy Absorption Tags: Dependents (Sister, Father) Heroic Linguist: Arabic, Chinese, English, Hebrew, Kurdish, Russian, Rich Powers: Basic Powers Discipline 1 Energy Absorption Elemental Control (Force) Elemental Barrier (5, Blast, R2) Elemental Blast (5+, Burst, R2) Elemental Burst (0) Elemental Prison (10, Pro1) Elemental Protection 1 (5, Barrier, R2) Elemental Reinforcement (varies, Pro1) Elemental Sphere (10, Pro1) Background Daniel’s family name is well known in military circles. He has multiple ancestors that have served or are serving in all of the branches of the US military. He followed the family expectations and joined the army, though as he wasn’t particularly interested in combat he became an interpreter. During one tour he was stationed at an isolated research facility set up in the shadow of a nuclear power plant. The researchers needed to regularly interact with the local staff maintaining the power plant as their work require specific power requirements. In the middle of the night Daniel was called to the control room to help sort out a misunderstanding between the two groups. They had started some maintained work on the power systems that the military researchers were not prepared for, emotions were running high. Daniel attempted to help calm everyone down as well and keeping the talks moving forward. Unfortunately power wasn’t fully restored to a critical system in time and there was a massive explosion. he was brought home after the incident without people learning about his powers. Just because he was injured in the explosion. During a long recovery he began working behind the scenes with a theater group for one of the causes his family supports. When he was better he tried his hand at performing. He wasn’t great but they always need to fill the little roles in those small theaters so he made a bit of a career out of it if you could call it that. When he wasn’t keeping up appearances he was learning about his powers in secret and then he started appearing on the scene as a Indigo.

I can see he and Kate knowing each other. I was planning on him having a secret identity only because my default assumption is that heroes have them. I might have to reconsider that depending on who he knows that are already superheroes with public identities like Kate. And if he keeps his identity secret who does he tell?

sxeBUDDHA, I wasn’t worried. Just wanted to soften him up a bit and I’d like to have him start out with some connections to other PCs if possible. Im going to change his history so that he was brought home after the incident without people learning about his powers. Just because he was injured in the explosion. During a long recovery he began working behind the scenes with a theater group for one of the causes his family supports. When he was better he tried his hand at performing. He wasn’t great but they always need to fill the little roles in those small theaters so he made a bit of a career out of it if you could call it that.

Drealynn, Yes that is how his elemental powers break down. Then he has basic powers (discipline and flight) on top of those so 10 total. I was considering energy absorption as a surprising power. I had built him not realizing that elemental protection 2 required rank 3. So I had switched his surprising power to cover that but all of that assumed surprising power added to your total number of powers. Inquisitor D, Give me a moment to reconsider his background. I see that Tekno has a strong military focus as well so I will probably rework him a bit to make him stand out more on his own. I think my variation on him might make a connection between them more reasonable.

I didn't’use surprising power to leap frog Protection 1 but listed it as the book lists powers according to the highest rank possessed. So my question earlier about whether surprising power gave you an extra power or just let you ignore rank requirements of a power wasn’t clearly understood and he has too many powers. I built a character for another game that didn’t get off the ground where the GM insisted that surprising power granted additional powers not just the ability to ignore the rank requirements. That’s part of the reason I put him up now because I was worried about that. the main reason I went with disciple over accuracy is to balance out higher agility over ego based on how I saw him. But I wasn’t sure that was the right call. It may have to change as I got back to adjust his number of powers.

Inquisitor D, do you suggest a different distribution of stats for this character? This will be first foray into this system so I’d appreciate any thoughts you have,
