Growth Spurt Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 The Visionary Power Level: 10 Power Points: 150/155Unspent Power Points: 5PPTrade-Offs: -5 Attack / +5 Damage, -5 Defense / +5 Toughness In Brief: The rebellious son of Talos Catchphrase: "You guys should really stop comparing me to my Father!" Theme: Legends by the Score Alternate Identity: Julian CeaserBirthplace: Foundry lab Residence: Emerald CityBase of Operations: Emerald CityOccupation: Superheroic "Defender" of Emerald City Affliations: N/A at this timeFamily: Talos (Father) Maxwell Mars (Grandfather) Description:Age: 4 years (2016)Apparent Age: 16Gender: MaleEthnicity: Synthetic LifeformHeight: 5'4Weight: 175Eyes: BlueHair: Bleach White A surprisingly lanky teenager, often wears a Green, skintight suit with a pair of yellow gloves, boots, and cape. His skin is deep red and his eyes are all solid blue and glowing. His hair also seems to give off a similar glow. History: Talos' perfect creation. The first fully artificial lifeform that has always eluded him before then...and a crushing failure as it carried the human qualities of compassion, kindness, and (ew) emotions. Talos forced the creation into hypersleep, where he would be kept for 4 years. During the destruction of the Foundry facilities by Talos he was woke by the destruction of his Hypersleep pod's power source, barely escaping the implosion of the lab. Angered by the fact his "father" had abandoned him to die in hypersleep, Visionary set out to be the exact opposite of what his original intend purpose was. Rather than be a weapon to destroy natural life, he chose to become a champion of life, a hero, a paragon... Personality & Motivation: As mentioned before, Visionary's main motivation in being a superhero is to spite Talos. Despite this Visionary has read up on and observed other heroes, basing much of his personality on the deceased Centurion and other Paragons and Golden/Silver Age heroes, behaving and talking in the most over the top heroic fashion that he could from his observations. Sometimes coming off as a Parody of a superhero because of that. Almost overly friendly, always hopeful, this personality only drops in cases involving Talos. Powers & Tactics: Flight and Nigh invulnerability makes Visionary a perfect living shield and when it comes to anything involving civilians that is almost his go to. Photon laser vision and super strength makes him the perfect weapon to handle villains and monsters with... Power Descriptions: Blue-White energy beams for Photon vision, the rest are simple strength affects with no outstanding bonus effects Complications: Daddy Issues: Hatred of Talos sometimes clouds his judgement. Parody: Can often come off as "too" heroic, casting suspicion on him Abilities: 10 + 2 + 10 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 28PP Strength: 40 [20] (+15/+5) Dexterity: 12 (+1) Constitution: 40 [20] (+15/+5) Intelligence: 10 (+0) Wisdom: 12 (+1) Charisma: 14 (+2) Combat: 10 + 10 = 20PP Initiative: +1 Attack: +5 Base Defense: +5 Base, +3 Flat-Footed Grapple: +28 to +20 (Super-Strength) Knockback: -12/-2 Saves: 0 + 4 + 6 = 10PP Toughness: +15/+5 (+5 Con, +10 Enhanced Con) [10 Impervious] Fortitude: +15/+5 (+5 Con, +10 Enhanced Con) Reflex: +5 (+1 Dex, +4) Will: +7 (+1 Wis, +6) Skills: 24R = 6PP Diplomacy 8 (+10) Notice 8 (+9) Sense Motive 8 (+9) Feats: 6PP Fearless Interpose Leadership Luck Takedown Attack Ultimate Save (Toughness) Powers: 20 + 21 + 10 + 10 + 19 = 80PP Descriptors: all bionic Enhanced Constitution 20 (to Constitution 40 [+15]) [20PP] Enhanced Strength 20 (to Strength 40 [+15] Alternate Power) [21PP] AP: Blast 10 (Photon Vision) {20/20} Immunity 10 (Life Support, Starvation and Thirst) [10PP] Impervious Toughness 10 [10PP] Paragon Array 8 (16PP Array, Feats: Alternate Power, Dynamic 2) [19 PP] DBE: Flight 0-8 (0 - 2500 MPH / 0 - 25000' per Move Action) {2-16} DAP: Super-Strength 0-8 (Effective Strength 40-80, Heavy Load: 3 tons - 1440 tons) {2-16} Drawbacks: (-0) + (-0) = -0PP DC Block ATTACK RANGE SAVE EFFECT Unarmed w/no Powers Touch DC 20 Toughness Damage [Physical] Unarmed Touch DC 35 Toughness Damage [Physical] Totals: Abilities (28) + Combat (20) + Saving Throws (10) + Skills (6) + Feats (6) + Powers (80) - Drawbacks (0) = 150/155 Power Points
Fox Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Mostly little bits of math things, here: Looks like the trade-offs line is incomplete; filling it out will be important, as this character has significant trade-offs! With +5 Defense, Visionary would have +3 Flat-Footed defense. It's the only place in the game where you functionally round up; blame the game designers! You've purchased 6pp of feats, which is correct in the final Totals line but not in the Feats line. You're only using Dynamic 2 here (a dynamic base power and a dynamic alternate power), not 3. The cost is correct, though, at 19pp for the array (though you've lost a '[' somewhere!).
Growth Spurt Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 Ok! That should be all the issues fixed!
EternalPhoenix Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 This is a very slightly tweaked version of our Sample Paragon. I mean like literally copied and pasted. I've never had any problem with that, and the math is both simple and works. So then, APPROVED
