Lone Star Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Kid Cthulhu[floatr][/floatr] Players Name: Lone Star Power Level: 9 (114/143PP) Trade-Offs: None Unspent PP: 29 Platinum Status: 38/60 (15PP bump from PL6-7, +23 post-bump) Click here for Warlock, Blake Salazar's new post-Kid Cthulhu form. Characters Name: Blake Salazar Alternate Identity: Kid Cthulhu Height: 5â€10’ Weight: 140 Hair: Dyed black Eyes: Green Description: Blake is, by first glance, an “artsy emo†kid as described as his friends. He wears a lot of black, is thin as a rail, and has hair dyed black. His hair is combed over one of his eyes, and is very thick. He wears glasses, and has eyes the color of swamp water. As Kid Cthulhu, his skin becomes a sickly shade of green, and he grows scales on his arms and legs. His head also changes shades, and green tentacles protrude from his face. He also can extend scaly wings from his back and fly at a low speed. He also gains a slight fishy odor, with a dash of sea salt. Tasty. When in costume, KC wears a fairly typical superhero outfit; a spandex costume of which the main color is black with highlights of green. In the center of the torso, he has the Elder Sign in white as his insignia. He has a cape of lighter green, also with an Elder Sign on the back. History: Blake’s mother died when he was just ten years old. His parents were both artists, who experimented with drugs, alcohol, and sometimes the occult when out of ideas. Their art was considered stunning and radical by their critics. Blake’s mother died from alcohol poisoning when she and her husband went on a binge. Blake’s father was devastated by the event, and he became a shell of a man, just living from day to day. As Blake entered his teenage years, he inherited much of the artistic ability of his parents, winning a few contests his freshman year of high school. He was never satisfied with his work, always pushing for more. He was a big fan of occult readings, such as Aleister Crowley and H.P. Lovecraft. He thought if he could get a glimpse of what lay beyond the barrier of reality, he would achieve the inspiration he needed. He found an extremely yellowed copy of what seemed to be the Necronomicon. Although Blake had his doubts, he began to prepare the rituals for the summoning spell. Needless to say, Blake succeeded. He summoned THE UNSPEAKABLE ONE and THE UNSPEAKABLE ONE muttered something incomprehensible, and Blake blacked out. Although he encountered just a tiny fragment of the true form of...THE UNSPEAKABLE ONE, he remained fairly sane. Sorta. When he came to, THE UNSPEAKABLE ONE was gone, and Blake was a squid. He looked into the mirror, and saw something straight from H.P. Lovecraft. He began to pace about the room, and within a few months, mastered changing from human to squiddy form. It seemed THE UNSPEAKABLE ONE left Blake a little more than the ability to become like him, he also gained some of his extradimensional abilities. Blake had found a new purpose: he would use his powers for the general betterment of mankind, if they would accept his new squiddy form. Personality & Motivation: Although Blake may come off as stand-offish in his human form, he gains a degree of self-confidence while fighting crime as Kid Cthulhu, which may be his subconscious reason for doing so. Powers & Tactics: Blake will generally roar into battle with a few eldritch bursts of mystic fire, to weaken his enemy. Following this, he either drains their wisdom, ending their movement with a mental burst, or just paralyzes them and blasts away. He does not know very much about subtlety, because, I mean, how easy do you think hiding is when you’re green? Complications: Self-Esteem: He feels very much under his father's artistic shadow and has self-esteem issues as a result. Girlfriend: Blake's girlfriend, Jessica Parker, is also the superheroine Ironclad.

Although Blake had his doubts, he began to prepare the rituals for the summoning spell. Needless to say, Blake succeeded. He summoned Cthulhu, the Elder star-god, and Cthulhu muttered something incomprehensible, and Blake blacked out. When he came to, Cthulhu was gone, and Blake was a squid. He looked into the mirror, and saw something straight from H.P. Lovecraft. He began to pace about the room, and within a few months, mastered changing from human to squiddy form. It seemed Cthulhu left Blake a little more than the ability to become like him, he also gained some of his extradimensional abilities. Blake had found a new purpose: he would use his powers for the general betterment of mankind, if they would accept his new squiddy form.And he's not gone incomprehensibly mad because? That said, I do not believe Cthulhu is an in-universe thing for Freedom City. They have something called the Unspeakable One worshiped by the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign (these guys are not really well liked on a universal level). But no mentions of the green tentacled one himself. Personality & Motivation: Blake is a rather stand-offish kid, and generally doesn’t have a whole lot to say. He suffers from a mild form of inferiority complex, and is sometimes prone to mental breakdowns. He’s a very nice boy, though, and does no worse than knock out criminals he encounters, although he does get a bit of a kick finally being able to take people on in a fight. His motivation for crime fightingSo, how does "he's an anti-social guy who likes to fight" lend itself to a group game? No man is an island, you know Complications: He is prone to mental breakdowns, their occurance determined by the GM.Please elaborate Stats: -2+4+0+4+0+-2 = 4pp Str: 8 (-1) Dex: 14 (+2) Con: 20/10 (+5/+0) Int: 14 (+0) Wis: 20/10 (+5/+0) Cha: 8 (-1)Adds up.

Lone Star Posted December 26, 2010 Author Posted December 26, 2010 [floatr][/floatr] Player Name: Lone Star Character Name: Warlock (Kid Cthulhu redesign) Power Level: 11 (146/163PP) Trade-Offs: +2 Attack / -2 Damage, +/-0 Defense / +/-0 Toughness (or "None") Unspent PP: 17 Progress to Silver: 58/60 In Brief: The Artist Formerly Known as Kid Cthulhu Alternate Identities: Blake Salazar Identity: Public Birthplace: The West End, Freedom City Occupation: Freelance Mystic Investigator, Superhero Affiliations: None Family: Herbert Salazar (father, deceased)Lavinia Salazar (mother, deceased) Age: 17 Apparent Age: 17 Gender: Male Ethnicity: White Height: 5' 10" Weight: 150 Eyes: Green Hair: Brown Description: Blake, now slightly more than skin and bones, looks a bit more normal than he did before. He has a slight tan, and a mild amount of muscles on his body, and turned his hair back to its normal shade with a glamour charm. He wears a heavy black robe over a nice suit with a black vest and tie. He wears a black domino mask, and has a black fedora. His robes, however, have lightning bolts in white along the sleeves and along the bottom of the robe. He also has an alchemical symbol as a pin on his robes. Blake has a headquarters situated in Freedom's Southside. To anyone else looking on, it appears to be a run-down house, decorated with yellow police tape and worn by time. However, Blake has a clever magical voice-activated security system that allows guests to enter. Inside of the building, the interior has been magically changed to accommodate Blake's needs. The interior is not unlike that of a Victorian-styled home. Power Descriptions: (if applicable) Blake, as Warlock, carries a number of enchanted items, which manifest themselves in obvious ways. His lightning wand throws out a huge and deafening bolt of lightning, and his shield ring manifests a blue shield around him when he is struck with ranged attacks. None of his magic is subtle. History: After the events of Who You Gonna Call? the superhero formerly known as Kid Cthulhu was Cthulhu no more. After a painful recovery, Blake found he had lost all of his powers. He was glad the accursed powers were no longer a part of him, but he was still sad about not being able to fight crime anymore. He was determined to fight crime again, so he resolved at the end of 2010 to teach himself magic. Blake quickly realized that although he didn't have his powers, he retained a large aptitude for performing magic, and he quickly read through dozens of tomes. He utilized his creative energy to become an artificer, or a magical inventor. He used objects he had around his room and placed powerful enchantments on them. While finishing the runes on his empowered baseball bat, an idea flooded into his head. He could turn this into a business. Although not much, he had enough money from his parent's will and their art collection to buy some living space. So with that, Blake Salazar became Warlock- freelance magical detective. Personality & Motivation: Blake, after the accident, was determined to learn magic again. After taking the time he needed to learn the spells, he would take no rests against fighting evil. Blake is motivated to fight crime, but he also feels an obligation to protect the streets of Freedom City from supernatural threats. He is a changed man, and no longer takes life for granted. Powers & Tactics: Blake has a number of tricks up his sleeve due to his magical inventions, and always keeps a few spare ones in his jacket when he needs to. He is a versatile magician, and can evoke many different effects. Complications: Girlfriend: - Blake is committed to his girlfriend, Jessica Parker, who is also the armored heroine Ironclad. Business: - Blake runs a slightly less than official freelance supernatural investigations business. He tries to help every client he can. Supernatural Guardian: - Following the loss of his powers and his experience with The Unspeakable One, Blake feels obligated to protect Freedom City from any supernatural threats.
