Residence: Claremont Academy, Freedom City.
Base of Operations: Claremont Academy, Freedom City.
Occupation: Student at Claremont Academy.

Affiliations: Claremont Academy.

Family: None known.

 

Description:
Age: 16 (DoB: 2002)

Height: 5’10’’
Weight: 170 lbs.
Eyes: Green.

Pan is an attractive young man with dark red hair and green eyes. He has an athletic build, which he doesn’t mind showing with mostly form fitting clothing. Pan prefers green and red clothing, rarely wearing any dark colors. He almost always seem to be smiling.

Pan’s costume is relatively simple. A green form fitting suit that leaves his neck, face and lower arms free. His outer legs are red, as are the shoulders, stretching down to his solar plexus. He wears golden and red buckle at the front of the costume, despite it having no belt. To hide his identity as Peter Barrie, Pan wears a green domino mask.

 

 

History:

In Neverworld, adventure and action rule. Swashbuckling heroes chase heinous villains across the seas in flying airships, pixies guide adventures in search of treasures haunted by ghosts in the machine. The Lost Heroes chase the being known only as the Crocodile across the endless ocean, hoping that it will one day fulfil its destiny and defeat The Hooked Man for good.

 

Pan Barrie was born into this world. Raised by pixies, he never knew his parents. Always believing they abandoned him, Pan quickly came to resent most adults. Aided by the pixies, he performed daring heists into the bustling cities of Neverworld to gather food or just play pranks, and Pan became something of a myth: A never aging trickster that would disappear into the night. Eventually, the Lost Heroes happened upon the city that Pan had decided to visit. Hearing the rumors of the mysterious Forever Boy, they set a trap, and managed to capture him. Feeling pity for the boy, they took him in, and through time and effort, Pan came to trust them, joining them in the quest for the Crocodile.

 

Pan spent 1 year travelling with the Lost Heroes, until they met the Hooked Man. A man of monstrous power, the Hooked Man defeated the Lost Heroes one by one, until he finally stood before Pan. With the strike of his blade, the Forever Boy severed the Hooked Man’s hand, which hurled into the waters below. As the Hooked Man prepared to kill Pan in retaliation, the Crocodile rose from the depths. Pan blacked out, and the next thing he knew, he woke up in Freedom City.

 

With no way home, Pan wasted little time in exploring this strange new world. While living on the street and surviving through petty theft, he was eventually discovered while stopping a robbery. Offered the choice of joining the Claremont Academy, Pan eventually accepted. If he could not find a way home to Neverworld, he could at least try to find a new adventure.

 

Personality & Motivation:

Pan is a trickster, preferring to solve problems through trickery rather than brute force. He enjoys playing tricks on others, whether they are practical jokes or something more. Pan is utterly fearless, aside from one thing: The fear that he will never return home. He hides this fear behind bravado and a smile, while trying to find anyone to become his friend, rather than remain alone in this strange, new world. Despite his fears, Pan is determined to enjoy Freedom City as his newest adventure, and to aid his new home however he can, at least until he can find a way back to Neverworld.

 

Powers & Tactics:

Pan’s powers are either an innate part of his alien nature, or an extension of that nature, taught to him by the pixies of Neverworld. True to his nature as a trickster, Pan prefers to disable his opponents through his various tricks, rendering them unable to fight back against him and his allies. While he will taunt and provoke his enemies, he prefers to fight at range.

 

Power Descriptions:

While flying, Pan leaves behind a shimmering golden trail, almost like glowing dust.

He is able to create a thick golden fog that can obscure the vision of any he wants. He can manipulate the same golden light into a number of offensive abilities that he calls his Tricks. The Stun Burst is a quick burst of light that can leave his target paralyzed. The Tracker Blast is a golden ball of light that follows Pan’s foes. The Mind Wave mentally confuses enemies around him. Fireworks are, as the name implies, a noisy explosion of light that can leave a target deaf and blind. Finally, the Binding Bands creates a set of glowing kinetic around their target, ensnaring them.

 

Complications:

Never is an awfully long time: While usually fearless, Pan has just one fear: That he will never be able to return to Neverworld.

 

Oh, the cleverness of me: Pan is a trickster, and he has trouble not taunting and otherwise aggravating his enemies.

 

To live will be an awfully big adventure: To Pan, a life without adventure would be worse than death. He searches for adventure in any form.

 

Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning: Earth and Freedom City is a strange place, at least to someone from Neveworld. While he is slowly adapting, Pan is not quite used to living in this strange world yet.

 

If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing: While he has enrolled in Claremont Academy, Pan’s legal status is somewhat vague, as he is essentially an alien refugee.

 

All children, except one, grow up: At times, Pan can appear naïve, but it is really just down to the differences in morality between Earth and Neverworld. Not everything is as black or white as it was on Neverworld.

 

I don't want to go to school and learn solemn things: It is awfully difficult to sit still when you’re itching for adventure, be it during classes, stakeouts or strategy meetings.

I like it! The only thing that looks wrong is combat caps - you should get his Toughness up to +5 (perhaps with a rank of Defensive Roll, which gives +2 by our house rules) and increase his ranged attack to +14 - I'd suggest 2 ranks of the Accurate feat on the power. 

 

A good start, @RocketLord! Pop into chat if you like. 

[RocketLord]

Thanks! 

 

I actually got Defensive Roll at rank 2, but I can see that I forgot to add it to his Toughness rank. I've added it now. With the +2 for 2 ranks, I get to +6 though, so I'm guessing that isn't right. Atm, I've edited to set it at Toughness: +5 (+2 Con, +4 Defensive Roll). Should I go with Defensive Roll 1 and Protection 1 instead? I'd prefer just Defensive Roll, since it suits the character better, but not if it breaks the rules.

 

As for attack, I thought it could only go to Power Level without a Save/Attack shift?

[Ari]

Since your main damage power is at rank 6, and it wouldn't conflict with your other damage effects, a Trade off up to +/- 4 would work fine, @RocketLord, and would make them much more effective. 

 

You don't have to, of course, but I feel it'd be pretty useful in this situation.

[RocketLord]

Aside from the Defensive Roll bit, I think he should be ready now. I've added a Drawback with a minor vulnerability to emotion effects and added Accurate 2 to all powers in the Tricks array.

[RocketLord]

And decided to fix by just reducing Defensive Roll to 1 and adding Protection 1. Thanks for the help and tips.

[Avenger Assembled]

Looks good, though you should clarify that it's a 150 PP character - the drawback points don't count towards the total. 

 

Once you've done that, you should post it! 

[RocketLord]

Alright, its fixed, and the character is posted. Again, thanks for the help.
