Rileys improvised flash sans bang lit up the room for an instant casting ominous shadows around the walls. Blinded patrons cried out and collided with security who themselves were thrown into chaos by the blinding light. Recoiling from the eruption of the obviously supernatural Zenith in their midst the crowd pressed back towards the walls in a crush of fearful humanity. Above their heads manic thralls hurled themselves against the glassy barrier preventing them from fulfilling the puppet masters commands growing more frantic as they sought some way around or through the barrier in a crush of frenetic suicidal impulse beyond their control. The instigator of all of this had vanished into the crowd above largely obscured by the crush of those under his sway trying to fulfill his last order.

The no longer mind controlled crowd on the main floor is starting to get panicky. The mind controlled jumpers are obviously going to try to squeeze/jump through any opening that is made in Zeniths barrier. Security is all dazzled by Rileys lightshow and loses an action bumping into tables, patrons and each other. Fostbyte is up.

Personally it's my preferred build out for "X-controller" power sets. Generally better than limited IMHO and pretty well represents the "can only work with whats there" kinda powers. Now for Human torch types that control and generate to so much. But like a swamp thing plant controller? or hydro kinetic? Tends to make sense to me at least. It is pretty limiting in some environs dependent on the medium.

So just build the transform effect you want not shape matter. (BOO Green chapter a wizard should know better.) Not clear what the corrosion (again with the green chapter :argh:) is supposed to represent but if it is sundering metal armors that is more limited and doable with the transform. Similarly the dazzle isn't clear what that is representing so no real comment there. Overall I'd recommend medium metal on more of those unless he's able to conjure raw chains/plates/etc. Could build for PL 8 or ten without metal as a light powerhouse and go up to 10-12 with metal to really go to town. Toss reversable on his core transform and you cna probably get away with putting it all back as it was after a fight too.

The MC is gone but he did a MC style stun you failed hte save on. But you can burn the HP you just earned to shake it off no roll needed.

I don't think so? I see the training being alot more about technique and style than him having like an exceptionally long stride or particularly springy tendons or whatever. Chat discussion seemed to veer towards that sort of container not really being applicable to innate. Though with some discussion of the low rank powers as feats approach in the masterminds manual but I know we haven't houseruled that at this point.

Looks good APPROVED

Immunity 2 (Critical hits) [2pp] is a good armor option.

You still have "Work In Progress Raven III sheet" at the top of the sheet and while technically true I suppose probably not intended. It looks like you typoes on blood dragon society in affiliations. Sword gadget configuration hits Pl 12 caps. so over your under capped PL of 11 but not up to your available PL of 13 not sure if that is intentional since there are 2PP available in the VP on that config so you could hit your available PL 13 caps.

Red Lynx Power Level: 10 (157/166PP) Unspent Power Points: 9PP Trade-Offs: +2 Attack / -2 Damage, -1 Defense / +1 Toughness In Brief: Dakanan Prince taking a more 'personal' approach to aiding the less privileged nations. Catchphrase: Theme: The Message Alternate Identity(Secret outside Dakana) Birthplace: Dakana Residence: Dakana Royal Palace, Claremont Academy Base of Operations: Bayview Occupation: Prince & Student Affiliations: Dakana Royal Family, Claremont Academy Family: M'Balla (Father), Asma'u (Mother), M'Zale (Grandfather), Ubasti (Grandmother), Àjàṣorò Tafari (Twin Sister), Baako (Half-Brother) Description: Age: 18 (DoB: 12th April 2002) Apparent Age: 18 Gender: Male Ethnicity: African (Dakanan) Height: 6'4" Weight: 225 lbs Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Dark skinned and powerfully built Kamau looks every bit the part of Dakanan Royalty. With an athletic frame and well defined musculature he evokes a distinct bearing of controlled power and moves with a sure grace. A strong jaw and broad features continue that trend though his eyes have a thoughtful and considering cast. He attempts to school his features into an implacable mask fo royal propriety but is easily given to an all to boyish grin revealing nor at all regal dimples. He wears his hair shorn in a tight fade on the sides with a crown of tight 'locks coiled above. He usually dresses to suit the occasion though when given to leisure prefers utilitarian workout clothes. In costume his augmented suit is a deep almost black crimson with the interwoven daka crystals flaring to a bright red when struck with force. Vitals are covered with hardened plates of lightweight composites that gives the central torso an articulated appearance but leaves his range of motion free. He's stylized the armored helmet with high peaked 'ears' and a feline shape to the visor to better strike fear in the hearts of 'cowardly and superstitious' villains. History: Kamau is the second born of twins, children of King M'ballas second marriage. As such he has been afforded every benefit growing up the wealth and power of his upbringing grooming him to be a leader and perhaps eventual White Lion. It also instilled in him a deep feeling of responsibility for both his nation and his fellow man throughout the world. Unlike his (As she is quick to point out, elder) twin he has always taken a keener interest in his home country and it's heroes the White Lions and other champions throughout the years. As he grew he began training with the palace security in addition to his tutoring in assorted skills believed necessary for a prince and potential White Lion. Kamau excelled in most tasks put to him with a natural talent and easy confidence in his ancestry. Despite this, or perhaps because of it he has always approached his tasks and lessons with a certain careful and collected care. Both to avoid unintended consequence and to ensure success through application of his skills and abilities. When it came time for the challenge of the White Lion he fully expected he'd emerge the victor. Though his half brother was powerful he was reckless and easy to manipulate. Kamau's own sister had little more than passing interest in the title. While evenly matched in many of the trials when the final challenge came Kamau held back unwilling to commit lest Baako seize the power of the White Lion. In the end this proved his undoing. His sister acted unhesitatingly sizing opportunity when presented and carried the day. For some the failure at the trial may have soured their opinion of the winner or caused a crisis of faith or confidence. But Kamau felt something more akin to relief. He had pursued the position out of a default feeling of responsibility not out of any surity he was the right person. In truth he saw almost immediately the wisdom of the trials construction and that his sister was best suited for it took much more than strength of body or mind to be hte White Lion, or in this case the White Lioness. Kamau joins his sister at Claremont, seeing attendance at the Freedom school as an opportunity to not only learn from the americans but help them to clean up their 'crime ridden' streets and corrupt institutions. Personality & Motivation: Kamau affects a friendly and gregarious persona for public events a skill he has developed over the course of many state events from childhood on. In more private settings he's more withdrawn with a more naturally dry wit and quiet confidence until an area of particular interest draws out enthusiastic, and at times exhaustive, discussion of the topic at hand. As Red Lynx Kamau takes on the collected personality of the dark avenger his voice a low growl and a carefully curated body language to evoke fear in criminals and unsettled gratitude in innocents and law enforcement alike. Publically Prince Kamau is a strong proponent of his fathers policies of inclusion and action outside Dakanas borders. The nation has power and wealth and the responsibility to use them for the betterment of the world as a whole. This is not to say he is ignorant of the geopolitics his nations long isolation and how it effects modern attempts at involvement. In part this is why he was eager to leave Dakanas borders. He disagrees with the Isolationist old guard and imperial ambitions of some of the Red Hyena but also feels more must be done on the ground not only through economics and soft power but by citizens of good intention doing what is in their power to bend the other nations toward greater equity. He takes this duty seriously as Red Lynx to strike out against injustice in his adopted home of Freedom where despite the benefits afforded the citizens of the US many still find themselves victims of corruption or criminal enterprise turning ht tools of freedom to personal gain. Powers & Tactics: Lynx fights with a tactical efficiency born of his training with the Dakanan security forces. He approaches a potential conflict with tight focus on ending it quickly and with minimal collateral damage using the environment and keen tracking of his environments to give himself the advantage. Preferring to strike from unexpected directions he avoids direct confrontation until the time of his choosing whenever possible then attacks with single minded determination to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. Utilizing his superior athletic abilities and training he's willing to stand toe to toe with an enemy to buy time if that is what is required or distract and draw an enemy to a battleground of his choosing denying the enemy the ability to use innocents or property damage against him. Power Descriptions: Beyond his physical training and conditioning Red Lynx utilizes advanced technology from Dakana for his efforts fighting crime abroad. In addition to his armored suit he uses a pair of Marungu. The throwing clubs are similar to those utilized by many Dakanan security forces and made of advanced alloys lightweight and strong, well balanced for throwing or striking. Complications: The Hero Formerly Known as Prince: Kamau is a foreign Royal operating as a secret vigilante on U.S. soil. International incidents are not out of the question. OLDER Sister: His elder twin is the White Lioness, and in his school, here enemies will be his enemies as well as the reverse. The World is a Mess and I Just Need to ... Rule it: Kamau see's the world outside of Dakana as less civilized and a little backwards. This can get him in trouble when he acts unilaterally for the good of "the people" regardless of authority. Keep it in the Family: Kamau's half brother Baako, as well as Ubasti sometimes put their politics into action, with fists. Kamau and his sister are likely targets.

Looks good now APPROVED!

Knockback said forcefield not armor which I just edited for you. But it looks like you're 1PP over (Probably form feats since your'e bottom tally has 6PP not the 7pp in the feats section)

A couple little errors. Attributes: good Combat: I only see 5 dodge focus in feats so defense would be +8 not +9 saves: you have 8 protection not 7 total is correct though so just a missed edit I think skills: good feats: good but see combat. powers: F'terrix traits: Good Star Knight Armor: Comprehend: Unless I missed an errata (entirely possible) its one rank to speak any one language at a time, One rank for understanding all languages, and one rank for reading all languages for a total of 3 ranks and a cost of 6 super senses: you have and paid for 4 ranks not 2 I only count 83PP spent inside the device not 85. Lastly the caps look kinda all over the place I think some are intentionally undercapped but you'r at +8 attack +9 damage with electro claws, and +10 with blast so pl 8.5-9 offensively, defensively you're at 8 and 10 for def/tough for PL9 or 9.5 if you end up with the 6 ranks of dodge focus.

The trials of the white lion are just a series of standardized tests on civics governance and ethics! Baako is just mad because he forgot his Number two pencil. More seriously I think the trials don't need to be combat but are generally more about being white lion than king/queen/ruler. Both in outcome and in what they test.

Alright looks good. Approved

Looks like 70 not 72 ranks of skills so 2 skill points to spend. Other than that math checks out and the work put into the background shows.

What if we make hte White Lion/kingship more of a spiritual position than governmental? So it still holds political sway and one might be both the white lion and the government head as M'balla was for years but he's focusing more on matters of state and tiffs character with her untypeable name takes on the mantle. That can explain why she's white lioness and still in high school and also why she's not needed actively governing. The governance itself could be through a council of clan heads and maybe the clans have their own individual systems of selecting leadership from democratically to heredity or a meritocracy of some sort. The council can and does empower an executive to act in it's name but can withdraw support and tradition dictates that is usually the white lion or the former white lion dependant on age and such. I think that gives us a White Lion that achieves it's powers through merit. Without having the nations leadership be based on best fistpunching.

Alright they're aware enough to not be caught flat footed by the drones though will not have cover. 15 will not be enough to hit so homing next round and they may fall back since cover not as effective as hoped. edit After discussion in chat with Fox I gave him a notice to catch the drones decloaking to fire. He gets a 22 enough to beat the standard concealment DC 20. So still not flat footed, and still a miss. And that brings us to Jack of All Blades

I'll just say that blinds the security or enough of the crowd they are trying to get past to be a distraction and buy you all around before security gets to go again. Zenith is up.

Most of the merc in the vicinity flee from Harrier. More are probably on the way but clearly well within his capabilities. And that brings it around to dragonfly.

Moving carefully in concealment to not get shot you can get in position to sneak attack on your next round. I should also clarify here as I already did to Alder. The guys with the rocket propelled grenades are set up outside. Going in gives cover to avoid that narratively it's just a reason for harrier not to steadily take out all the guys who can do nothing against him outside. Bombshell is not moving on them but on the crews that have set up the kill box inside. Harrier is up.

Everyone gets an HP for the mind controled bystanders setback (That should allow everyone to shake off the stun if they need/wish). Woodsman gets an HP for the setback of not having his Bow when it would be super handy to have a good way to take this guy down without going upstairs. There are about 40 people needing to be talked/helped off the ledge (literally in this case) and he's going to try to make an escape under cover of bystanders and approaching police. The ten or fifteen security still on the floor are going to try to detain everyone. Raina still has he concealment up so might be able to utilize that to follow on her own but that might be dangerous, Corrine and Phae can try to meld into the crowd if they want as they have not been positively ID'd as being with Raina yet. (though they did turn in their phones connected to the tickets Raina won so eventually would be found out.

"It is quite the assumption I am underestimating you Ms. Chevalier." the stately gentleman at the balconies edge replied. Revealed in the still pulsing lights of the club he was well dressed holding himself with a formal rigidity of military service. He spoke in a clipped english accent though not one who's regional origins was easily placed and his words coiled seamlessly around a parisian pronunciation of Nighthawks last name. "I would argue I am estimating you and your associates quite precisely had I the time." a vague smile of amusement crossed his features as he explained further, "Lets be clear two thuggish young people from the wrong side of town, a known demonologist, and their motley have disrupted this festive event, assaulted the security and staff, destroyed property." Stepping back into the shadows he clearly stood still near the edge but his voice seemed to fill the air almost oppressively, "The police will arrive and all of these good people will tell them exactly what you've done." He laughed a low rolling sound echoing across the now silent dance hall. "And they won't even remember I was here." the weight of his words slammed into the crowd visibly though they lacked the strength to assault the minds of the teens being set up by his plan. "And to think Ms. Sanderson you thought your luck was changing, at least you'll be reunited with dear old mum and dad." The older mans words cut across the room, "To put it simply I want all of you in chains." he explained with frank finality, "It's nothing personal, you just need a higher class of adults in your life it seems." he sunk further into the crowd just on the edge of being out of sight completely, "And don't try to follow or come up here." he threatened dangerously as in unison the crowded mezzanine stepped to the edge of hte high balcony, "If they follow jump." the mind controller snapped out the thralls climbing onto the banister to fulfill his demands. Those with more refined hearing could pick out a quieter command across the radios for security to detain the youths for the police as the crowd broke free of it's stupor.
