In light of recent developments, I wanted to get this up on the boards. There will probably be more to come, but this is what is at least currently relevant.

(Thanks for the idea, Geez3r!)

Captain Knievel - Future Complication Scenarios

Scenario 1: Maximum Exposure:

Lose:

- Complication * Secret (Secret identity prevents him from performing any super powered deeds due to bureaucratic red tape while in his un-costumed identity)

- Any ranks currently held in Benefit: Wealth

Gain:

- Complication * Media Buff (Will go out of his way to get himself on Ã¢â‚¬Å“the evening news,Ã¢â‚¬Â so to speak.)

- Complication * Struggling (Currently living on whatever he can steal or take by force)

- Complication * Confrontational (Will attack members of FC police force just because they are present)

- Points in equipment to be used for a hideout

Scenario: Captain Knievel has been in and out of prison. He may have even gone as far as having a full on criminal trial. The bottom line is that somehow he has escaped and is back out doing what he does best. The downside here is that everyone now knows who he is. The result? He no longer has a secret identity. Everyone knows that Taylor Edwards is Captain Knievel. All of the companies that have been sponsoring Taylor over the years have now dropped those sponsorships. Without the adoration of his public and the cash flow from his sponsors, Taylor (and The Captain) is out of a job, and out of money. On the other hand, he no longer has anything to lose by being sent to prison. Society has taken everything that it can from him already. Therefore he pursues his perverted version of fame and fortune with reckless abandon.

Captain Knievel is not above performing any stunt however dangerous to once again put himself in the public spotlight (even if this also attracts unwanted super-hero attention!)

Without his normal cash flow, Captain Knievel finds out the hard way how quickly his funds run out. He is now considered to be struggling. Captain Knievel has managed to secure a small living space in an abandoned warehouse in the west side, but cannot lay claim to much else. Most of his worldly possessions were repossessed by the government and much of his liquid assets have been frozen.

Needless to say this recent turn of events is extremely aggravating to Captain Knievel. He takes his anger out on any members of the FC police force whenever he sees them. He aims to cause as much disruption, and collateral damage as possible.

:arrow: Ace takes a slightly more martial bent as he progresses learning more "secrets of the mysterious east" seeing improvement in his combat stats though some of his exotic saves (most notable reflex) suffer.

:arrow: Mind tricks end up with a good bit more potency behind them and thus are more usefull agaisnt even PL opponants.

:arrow: Another option would be more limited straight combat abilities with team based feats such as inspire, leadership and teamwork and more luck for powering those. Lack of standard combat bonuses made up for with master plan/tactician, and sneak attack and more use of concealment. Not really sure which way he'll head in the end it depends if he's more group or solo in what he's doing.

:arrow: This would be the equivalent of a rough draft, so there's quite a few things that need work. But I figured Shaen needed a new toy to play with

:arrow: Really focused on the skills in this build. As you'll notice, he's near god-like in several areas. Especially with the Datalink/Quickness Complimentary System.

:arrow: And speaking of, yes there are 3 arrays in the Battle suit. The powers outside the Battlesuit are more and less the bread and butter. Just the armor, and the life support. The arrays answer the 3 questions of a character. 1) How do I blow things up? 2) How do I get around town? and 3) What other bells and whistles do I have? I really quite like this version of the battle suit.

:arrow: The saves are also far superior in this build than they were in the previous version.

:arrow: The drawbacks. All of the drawbacks actually revolve around the arm. The disability got lowered because it wasn't as big a deal when he could just get in the suit. The suit has a fully robotic arm integrated into the chassis. But, it now takes longer to sync up. The electical vulnerability results from the metal socket Malice has in his shoulder where the suit's arm plugs into. He didn't make an arm for himself because he wanted to remind himself of the price of failure.

:arrow: With his Afterburners and Flight system both operational, Malice has a total of Flight 13 or 100,000mph. Plenty to leave all but even the fastest of speedsters in the dust. Also, with his high Consitution, he can move All Out for a bare minimum of 38 rounds in a row, or just shy of 4 minutes. He has a basic movement speed of 1,000,000 feet per round. Moving all out quardruples that to 4,000,000 feet per round, or about 800 miles. That's twice the width of the Atlantic Ocean. The circumference of the earth is about 40,000km or 25,000 miles. So after 32 rounds in, Malice has circled the Earth, and is not tired.

:arrow: At his maximum, Malice has an effective Strength score of 112. Which is just enough to pick up an aircraft carrier, which is just under his maximum load. He can't do squat other than pick it up though.

Belphegor (PL 14, 250pp)
Trade-Offs: None.

:arrow: Removed Persistent from his Regeneration, added the Artificer feat (which the 'current' Bel has).

:arrow: Other Demonic Tricks [30pp] he could pull:
:arrow: :arrow: Boost Intelligence 6 (Extra: Total Fade; Flaw: Others Only; PFs: Slow Fade 6/1 day [gain +6 Int for 6 days], Subtle) plus Linked Boost Feats 1 (Inventor feat; Flaw: Others Only; PFs: Slow Fade 7/1 week [gain the Inventor feat for 6 days], Subtle) [13+9=22pp]; the "real" Belphegor is associated with invention (re: Ludd was Right, New Technology is Evil, and Science is Bad), and this Belphegor can inspire people, too. It only lasts a week at a time, and though it's not a drug per se, there is a good chance some might get addicted to the mental rush he gives. There's enough points left he could throw in Morph 4 (any humanoid), so that the people he deals with has no idea what they're truly dealing with. Other possible ability/feat combos are Enhanced Constitution & Diehard, or Enhanced Charisma & Attractive.
:arrow: :arrow: Enhanced Charisma 26 (to 48/+19; Flaw: Only for Intimidate) and Enhanced Feats 15 (Fearsome Presence 14 [70 ft., DC 24], Startle) and Enhanced Intimidate 8 (to 10r/+29) [13+15+2=30pp]. He has such sights to show you...
:arrow: :arrow: Mental Blast 10 (Flaw: Sense-Dependent/Hearing) [30]. Harsh words, bitter invectives and brutal threats backed by demonic wrath to strike with real force.
:arrow: :arrow: Morph 6 (any Small or Tiny animal [cat, dog, hawk, lizard, owl, rat, raven, snake, or weasel], +30 Disguise) and Shrinking 8 (Tiny) [12+8=20]. Taking on animal form to spy or pretend to serve as someone's familiar. Could add Enhanced Skills or movement powers as needed.
:arrow: :arrow: Paralyze 14 (Extra: 70-ft. Burst Area; Flaw: Slow only) [28pp]. Mass infliction of sloth/depression to squash motivation.
:arrow: :arrow: Possession 10 [30pp], for when simply KO'ing a person and replacing them via Morph isn't adequate.
:arrow: :arrow: Strike 2 (Extra: Alt Save/Fortitude, Vampiric 12; PFs: Incurable, Mighty, Persistent) [2+12+12+3=29pp]. Sacrificing a living being to heal himself; can be used to heal otherwise Incurable damage, and the damage is itself Incurable (assuming the victim survives). Granted that with the No Killing rules and "More Silver Than Iron" tone we have in place, it's unlikely this would ever be seen, but I still thought it would be something interesting to stat out.
:arrow: :arrow: Telekinesis 6 (Str 30; Extra: Range/Perception; PFs: Precise, Subtle) [20pp]. Because getting up to do something is so un-Slothful, and TK is a classic demonic power.
:arrow: :arrow: Teleport 9 (Extra: Accurate; PFs: Easy, Progression 2/500 lbs. cargo) [30]. Another common demonic trick.

:arrow: Okay so this is basically a suped-up version of Boomer. It manly focuses on improving himself and his combat ability, This is basically a version of Boomer when he's older, He's learnt some martial arts, as well as weapon fighting. As well as improved his physical stats, despite that he is inherently more accurate with his powers due to the nature of Light.

:arrow: His power's don't really grow much, but he does gain some cool abilities. He can form Solid melee weapon's such as swords, staffs ext. out of pure light. He also gain's the ability to create minor visual illusions, and create a 'white out' area for all visual sensors. (He could also technically stunt a White out area for Radio sensor's as well.)

:arrow: He gain's a number of secondary abilities, such as the ability to see various light frequency, including X-ray vision. He can pick up Radio signals (Radio being apart of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum), As well as the ability to sense the 'light' in the air. This also give's him a Danger sense.

:arrow: He also picks up Immunity to starvation and thirst as well as Aging. Essentially representing his ability to absorb sunlight to replenish and repair his body. (Also mean's that in dire need he could probably Stunt Regeneration with the source sunlight flaw.)

:arrow: Dumped the demon taint, will set up a "Beat The Devil" type story some time in the future.

:arrow: Strength and Charisma? Is he filling out more? Is he growing more attached to the human race?

:arrow: I'll update the current build to something like this before I bring him back.

:arrow: Any questions? Suggestions?

For the cost of Enhanced Fort Save 14 & Impervious Protection 14 [42pp], you can have Enhanced Constitution 28 (to 38/+14) and Impervious Toughness 14.

Which would give you +14 on Toughness & Fort saves, and on Con/Recovery checks.

Updated Quark a little.

Protection Undersuit: 60 points
Enhanced Defense 14 (Extras: Linked/Enhanced Constitution 28, Linked/Immunity 2 (critical hits); Power Feat: Alternate Power 2)
AP: Container 12 (Drawback: Action/Standard)
AP: Container 12 (Drawback: Action/Standard)

I dunno what the othertwo will be. I've had ideas for stealth mode (Concealment 10 and Insubstantial 4, needs 20 more points) and a healing (Personal Total Healing 30, insane eh?) but nothing proper.

Also gave him Profession (inventor) to drive home the point :P

:arrow: So yeah, this is Atlas at PL 14 - 250PP.

:arrow: At full Strength, Atlas has an effective Strength score of 188. We'll round that off to 190 for this discussion. In which case, Atlas can lift 65,536lbs for every pound Centurion can lift. Broken down it looks like this:

Light Load: 1,280,000,000 tons

Medium Load: 2,560,000,000 tons

Heavy Load: 3,276,800,000 tons

Maximum Load: 6,400,000,000 tons

Push/Drag: 16,384,000,000 tons

Note: These numbers are self generated because the character builder I ordinarily use apparently doesn't go this high. I took the numbers from the listing for 150 strength and multiplied them by 256 (4 for every 10 they exceeded it).

:arrow: Due to Atlas' Armor in combination with his high Impervious score, Atlas automatically saves against any physical damage of rank 27 or less. If hit with a rank 28 attack, Atlas will need to save vs DC 29 because the Immunity cuts the effective rank down to 14. Atlas can save against such an attack on a 10, assuming he has his full Toughness score. It is not recommended that you go blow for blow with Atlas. His armor however affords no protection against energy damage. Also, stick close to party members to utilize Interpose.

:arrow: Also note that I gave Atlas the armor more or less because I ran out of ideas on what to give him. His skills and feats are where I want them to be. He's got a +10 to most interaction skills, which I consider to be good enough. He's not a smooth talker, but he's a nice enough guy.

:arrow: Mega-ton Punch is the Climbing Kick power from Mecha & Manga. Which itself is Damage X LINKED Trip X Extras: Knockback, Flaws: Melee range. Effectively, if Atlas hits you with a Mega-ton Punch, and you are not stunned by the attack, you could still be flung by the attack anyways. When not using one of his other fancy Super-Strength PF's, Atlas will pretty much be using this at every singe opportunity.

Phalanx at PL14, 250pp

Super senses added in for x-ray vision and enhanced vision and hearing, he can see/hear out to a mile about as well as the average joe can out to 10 feet.

Added a base super-strength effect mostly to base the super strength power feats off of without having to pay for them out of the dynamic array every time he uses any super-strength. Added an Immovable/Instobable DAP to the Paragon array and raised the whole thing so that he can hit rank 19-20 in a given power if focused on one AP.

Pretty standard Paragon stuff all around really. Not as tightly focused as a powerhouse but can pull a some other tricks out when needed.

:arrow: left 10pp unspent, for wiggle room and in case anyone else came up with a really good idea.

:arrow: A little smarter, a little wiser, a bit more charismatic.

:arrow: Upped his Attack some, but even with sneak attack & his shovel he's only PL 12 offensively.

:arrow: Massive increases to skills, to better reflect his nature as someone who's very likely to talk to you before hitting you.

:arrow: Buffed up his Animate Corpses power, now he can animate any corpse he can accurately perceive, and animate up to 25 at a time. Increased the rank, so now he can animate things like cows or birds (things with Growth or Shrinking).

:arrow: Added an Affects Others + Self Burst Area version of his Comprehend Spirits power; now he can make it so anyone within 25 feet can communicate with incorporeal and normally invisible and inaudible spirit beings, such as ghosts. (He lends some of his own energies to give the spirits enough "oomph" to manifest as ectoplasmic apparitions.)

:arrow: Increased Necromantic Powers array. His Fearsome Presence is bigger, and he can resurrect beings who've been dead for up to a decade (though there's still the change they'll Come Back Wrong). Added a few new powers to it:

:arrow: :arrow: A slot that adds Alternate Save/Fortitude to his unarmed sneak attack strikes, as a "direct attack on the life force"

:arrow: :arrow: An "anti-necromancy" aura, using his own necrotic energies to counter and suppress any other necromantic effects. He tries not to use it when Avenger is near.

:arrow: :arrow: Paralyze, by filling those he touches with "the chill of the grave".

:arrow: Upped his regeneration/resurrection time, now he can come back after an hour.

:arrow: added Accurate Radius Ranged Detect Corpses [mental], so he can accurately sense (and thus animate) corpses around him. Such as ones buried six feet under, or in a morgue drawer, or trapped in a wall. Added True Sight (only vs. undead and necromantic effects); he can now, for example, see through Silver Scream's Illusions and see her even when she's Concealed. Doesn't really help him see Avenger, though, that's still a skill vs. skill thing.
