The Preserver

[coreal]

He's got Streetwise 13- with 3cp in it, that's the martial arts skill for the dirty infighting 'style' per 6e.  

I agree that his combat values are just 'okay' ... looking where other people have been going, to play the role he needs to play I'm going to have to shift a few things around to make him a little better.  Also will tweak his defenses just a touch, as I wanted to aim for the lower end to represent how he takes a beating, but gets back up... but I ended up on the very low active point range instead of just low.

I'll post an update with some tweaks to his combat values and the complication change.

DISADVANTAGES
Cost	Disadvantage
15	Hunted: Martel Pharma Infrequently (Mo Pow; NCI; Mildly Punish) Notes: Martel Pharma is the one pharma group that has made the connection between The Preserver and one of their trial experiments. They got a sample of his blood and made a match to blood in their database. Unfortunately (for them) the name and ID associated with the sample were fakes. They would love to get their hands on a fresh sample... and maybe some tissue samples and video of abilities in action.
20	Social Complication: Renegade Vigilante Very Frequently, Major
10	Dependent NPC: Kevin, Monique, Haylee and Tasha Infrequently (Normal; Useful Noncombat Position or Skills; Group DNPC: x2 DNPCs) Notes: Peter has taken to dropping in on the Southside offices of CPS (Child protective services) where he was once part of the system, taking up the occasional lunch with members of the office that worked with Chanielle and knew of the tough luck he'd encountered after her death. He's somewhat landed on his feet, holding down enough gig work to count as a success story, and he shows up when he gets a rejected delivery for a free, sometimes warm meal. He listens in on the troubles they're facing, and in turn has some stable adult context for his own life.

Description:
BACKGROUND
A few moments of reflection for Paul Petrovski as he sits there looking at the bit of fabric in his hands. The fuzziest memories are the best ones. The memories of his parents, he only remembers happiness and warmth in little glimmers of that time. He knows that by age five his father was gone, a tragic bystander caught in a robbery gone wrong. But he doesn't remember much of that, just his mother crying a lot and keeping him shielded from everything else that was going on. The next memories are a little more concrete, the three years after that, his mother having to work the extra side jobs to keep things together. But still they were times filled with a few moments of love and family. Not as many moments as he might like, the first years of school involved being dropped at day care so early in the morning... then picked up just in time to eat dinner. He almost didn't notice that his Saturday's at the Boys and Girls Club or the Sunday spent in extended Bible School at church were covers for the half-days his mother was working over the weekends. Almost. Then there was the evening that his mother didn't make it in time to pick him up right before the cutoff where the day care started charging a dollar a minute. He didn't get picked up five minutes late, or ten, that evening. It was three hours late, after a few hushed phone calls, that a woman in a brown dress picked him up and took him to a strange place to stay the night. All he can remember is she said 'There's been an accident...' the rest he's lost. Years later he was able to get the cold, clinical version of what happened. A high speed chase after a bank heist, the getaway car sideswiping his mother's as she was driving home, sending her down an embankment and into the South River. She must have been stunned in the impact... her seatbelt was still on when the divers got to her half an hour later. From there it wasn't a trip to the orphanage. He only spent a week in a group home before he was placed with a foster family. The first of many, as he was a rather angry young man during his tween and teen years. Some of the families tried harder than others, but there was never a good fit, one that would last more than six months as he was passed around from 'temporary arraingment' to 'short term solution'. The one constant was Chanielle his case worker. She was always there, checking up on him, making sure he at least felt safe. She was the one person he could count on. His part time job at the Big Foods wasn't going to be enough to really live off of, but Chanielle had mentioned a transition program she would try to get him into, one that would let him get on his feet as he had to shift into full time work when he was done with school. A high school diploma wasn't the greatest door opener, but it was better than nothing. Then some guy had shown up to his next check in, when he asked about Chanielle he'd said in an almost callous manner, "Oh, her, she was on that bus downtown last month." The bus that got shot up in a gang war flare up... he remembered there had been something about four bystanders being caught in the crossfire. There was no half-way program for him from there. Everything that was in process, the strings Chanielle was pulling, that all fell through. At eighteen he was on the streets, doing what any healthy eighteen year old desperate for money to keep food in his mouth and pay for a cot in a flop house while he tried to get more hours at Big Foods, or find another job. He was signing up as a test subject for random drug trials. He heard about a lot of those from people at the flop house. He was smart about it, he used different names for each trial, so he could sign up for a half-dozen of them at the same time. He was sure he'd get placebos most of the time, or something that wouldn't do anything to him. And perhaps that would have been just another part of a sad story of his spiraling life, except that all those different drugs pumped into his system. The combination of experimental chemicals, changed him. Changed him in ways all out of proportion to what any one drug should have done. He had been reporting the tiny side effects, he'd heard that reporting nothing was suspicious, so a little cough, or trouble sleeping, he'd report that. But what he saw after the change... no reporting that. No reporting how he cut open his leg at work and it healed up before his supervisor could get to the back room. Nope, that would get him shoved into a testing cell under a building somewhere. At first he was afraid of what had happened, worried about what would happen if anyone found out. But the more he thought about it, the more he considered that he'd finally gotten a break. Now was his chance to turn things around, for himself, and for people like his parents, like Chanielle, those caught in the crossfire in this big city. He takes a breath. No more will every protector of the young and innocent be culled by the criminal elements in this city. Not while he can do something to turn the tide, to protect them and all the children they tend in turn. He doesn't need a protector anymore, and now he can be one instead. He will preserve those those that take care of the children of the city, protect them from the criminal elements. He pulls the piece of fabric up and ties the mask over his face and The Preserver is born.
PERSONALITY
Paul has been through quite a few bad turns, but his luck has turned and he's determined to make sure that what he went through doesn't happen quite as often to more kids in Freedom City.
QUOTE
"That all you got?!"
POWERS/TACTICS
Paul is a brawler, a mildly enhanced physical fighter with high levels of recovery to be a damage sponge.

You're using the HERO book? I've been telling everyone to use Champions Complete as that has everything we needed. And, I don't have the HERO books. I'd prefer if he paid for MA like anyone else but you've been super helpful to the group so you're good with using the HERO splatbooks. Your sheet is approved!

Sorry about that, I only own the Hero books and Fantasy Hero. I bought the 5e champions book and was so disappointed with it that I skipped the 6e version and finally got hero designer instead 🙂

Character Image... vaguely happy with this one. A bit more 'street' than I was hoping to find, but really couldn't find something that truly fit the mind's eye.
