Spacefurry Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Dreamcatcher Power Level: 10 (150/150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 All PP Trade-Offs: ±X Attack / ±X Damage, ±X Defense / ±X Toughness (or "None") In Brief: Non-human dimensional refugee. Ironman with a splash of Batman, only broke. Catchphrase: (Optional) Example: "Oh for the Cat’s sake.” “Why does everyone assume I can fly?” Theme: ‘Hurt’ by NIN/Johnny Cash, ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ by Daft Punk, ‘This is War’ by 30 Seconds to Mars Alternate Identity: Jean Downer (Secret) Birthplace: Nexus City (alternate reality Earth) Residence: Homeless Base of Operations: Abandoned warehouse Occupation: NA at this time Affiliations: NA at this time Family: Parents deceased, no siblings Description: Anthro-fox Age: 27 (DoB: 13/08/1993) Apparent Age: Mid-late teens due to height and build Gender: Female Ethnicity: Anthropomorphic fox Height: 1.67m (5’6”) Weight: 50kg (110lb) Eyes: Dark blue Hair: Shoulder length dirty blonde Fur: Typical red fox coloring pattern Jean is a humanoid fox from another dimension, standing up straight at about 5 and a half feet (not counting ears). Not having a source of income to start, her attire consists of her operator suit. A snug fitting body suit with various connection nodes across it. Dreamcatcher’s shape/design is that of a basic generic feminine anthropomorphic feline/canine nature, complete with a generic tail. Coloration is polished grey/silver with some black detailing and a yellow lens in the helmet camera. History: On her Earth, Jean was born in a city that had become a focal point of interdimensional and interstellar events. Her world had been populated by humanoid animals instead of regular humans, but over the years the population of the city nearly doubled with other races from the influx of arrivals, including humans from alternate Earths. During this time a growing number of these individuals arrived with strange abilities and incredible powers. Most where peaceful, but not all of them, and many fights erupted in the city and its surrounding areas. During one of these fights the research facility Jean’s parents worked at was destroyed and they died as a result. This drove her to become obsessed with finding a way to combat the hostile ‘outsiders’, as she referred to them. She designed the Dreamcatcher armor and built it in secret. She funded the project by syphoning money from an unscrupulous businessman (very Lex Luther, but not as ‘hands on’ with his dirty dealings. i.e. – not suiting up in his own armor to go one on one with good guys.). She worked for him as a researcher in one of his labs and gathered a group of like-minded individuals to help with her secret project. After several years the suit and her research grew and evolved, until a massive dimensional anomaly hit her home world. After it passed Jean found herself in a new world, with no idea how to get back. Personality & Motivation: A natural intellectual prodigy from a young age, Jean’s personal lose was her initial, nearly obsessive, driving force. In the beginning, she was strict and harsh to those she saw as possible threats (almost Casey Jones/ gritty Batman). But in time, with the help from supportive friends, she began to let go of her obsession. She learned to temper her anger, opening her eyes and sometimes even her heart to those that found their way to her world. She began to dedicate herself to protecting those who could not protect themselves whether they were ‘native’ or ‘outsider’. Powers & Tactics: Jean had primarily worked alone, trying to keep a low profile, but would willingly join forces to help with larger threats. Jean is the type to take a moment to look for the best approach to a problem and search for a weak point to exploit, then strike quickly and precisely. Power Descriptions: The Dreamcatcher armor was designed by Jean using technological advances derived from reverse engineering devices and artifacts from many different ‘outsiders’ to her world over the years. Complications: Destitute [-1pp] Due to the sudden nature of the dimensional shift, Jean arrived in Freedom City with only her armor and skinsuit. This forces her to scavenge for supplies and parts. Stranger in a not-so-strange land The Earth Jean came from had enough similarities for her to make sense of things, but enough differences to make many social interactions potentially awkward. From minor differences like the names of companies and products might be different. To moderate differences like the race/species of a person being different then she knew back home. To major differences like the details of historical events being different. Dressed for work The skinsuit, while not required to operate the armor, does provide more accurate and detailed control.

Spacefurry Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I’m really starting to think she not gonna work. :sad: Edited March 20, 2020 by Spacefurry
Thevshi Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Something not working with the build? I will try to get some comments for you today. There is a lot of formatting that could be fixed up in the meantime.
Spacefurry Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 I just don’t think it’s going to work points wise. I haven’t pinned down the array, and I I’m not sure how to work up the A.I. Looks like I’ll have to trim attributes and skills to have points for the armor. Might have to drop the inner skinsuit completely.
RocketLord Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Its a tech suit, right? Start out with basics, maybe the dimensional transfer messed it up or something. Expand it as you get more PP to use.
Thevshi Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I will take a look, but you are double paying for some of the immunities in the skinsuit and armor (well, sorta double paying).
Spacefurry Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 The skinsuit is just to provide limited protection outside of the armor. I suppose I could trim the sensor suite and immunities to start. They’re two of the biggest point hogs right now. I really like the ‘Over-clock’ bit, I could trim it down to start. Her blasters are her primary attack so I didn’t want to trim it too much. Would 8 ranks be good to start?
RocketLord Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Alright, I'll try to give it a proper look, give me a bit and I'll edit this. I won't go into any formatting things, but please format it as the sample sheet here. Bold, italics, indents, etc. makes sheets much easier to read. If you don't have extras, flaws, feats or drawbacks on a power, you don't need to list none. Just don't list anything, makes it more readable. Won't go into everything, since your Combat and Saves part are clearly not finished, which is fine. Starting from the top: Abilities Probably be a good place to cut down, but nothing inherently wrong with that. Skills: That is a lot of skills. Consider if you really need all of those, and remember your bonuses from abilities. Do you really need a +24 to knowledge physical sciences and technology, for instance? Consider trimming some of these here. For a rule of thumb, most skill DCs tend to go in increments of 5, so go for bonuses of +5, +10, +15, etc. Feats: Don't take Assessment, its just not good What do your benefit do? You probably won't need to use Skill Mastery for Craft rolls, you can almost always take 10 for those, probably better used for something else! Powers: Anthro-fox traits container: I'm guessing this has to do with their biology, being a fox and all. As it is, there's not really any reason for the two Strike powers. From a purely mechanical standpoint, they're a waste of points, since one will just be your Strength Bonus + 1 for the DC, the other will just be DC16, which is really low. I'd cut those out, saving you 3PP. If you haven't already, I'd read up on Super-Senses house rules here, since we've made some changes. Skinsuit: Immunity: The way you have it listed, its a bit difficult to understand what level of Immunity. Did you mean Immunity to damage from descriptors, environmental effects, what? Protection: Makes sense, I guess. Communication: You need to put in some more info for how the communication works with some descriptors and such. It is radio communications, bluetooth, what? Dreamcatcher armor: Powered Array: You need to add a rank to the array. You probably won't need Penetrating at full rank. It is an extra you can add partial ranks of, if you want. With just Penetrating 5 you should be good to hurt just about anyone, no matter their Impervious Toughness rank. Saves you some PP. I wouldn't bother with Boost, tbh. Just make a dynamic array for the powers instead, its simpler, probably cheaper. You could put your enhanced strength into a slot in this array, save some PP there. Powered Frame: Not much to say here, but see the notes about enhanced strength and Boost above. Comms/Sensor suite: For Super-Senses, see the house rules above again. You got some overlap here with your regular super-senses, you don't need to get the same thing twice. I would probably cut down a bit here, you don't really need all this. Extended in particular rarely comes up in play. Environmental Seals: I'd cut out Sensory Shield if you want to save points. Its cheaper to just higher Reflex and Fortitude saves, and that helps with more saves. Cynthia: You can get an onboard AI with a feature like this: Features 2 (Built-in Subtle Computer) [2PP] (Computer, A.I. System) Some big things in summary, not covered above: The protection from your Skinsuit and Dreamcatcher Armor stacks, and they stack with your Constitution Defensive Roll, for a total Toughness of +17 and Impervious Toughness 11, which breaks caps for a PL10. You can at most have a total Toughness of +15 and Impervious Toughness 10 at PL10, which would mean you could, at most, have Defense +5. Offensively, you have almost nothing that will help you hit anything. As PL10, you will want at least 1 power where your ATK bonus + Damage rank equals 20 when added together, preferably more. Aside from at least 1/3rd, rounded up, needing to come from your base attack, you can use the Accurate power feat for your attacks, or the feats Attack Focus or Attack Specialization.

RocketLord Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 There's some comments and thoughts @Spacefurry
Amelia Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Maybe array the skinsuit and the battlesuit together? I'd recommend ditching the Boost powers, and instead, applying the "Unreliable (5 uses)" flaw to the ranks of the powers that you want to only be temporary.
