Alternate Identity: Molly O'Connell Identity: Secret Birthplace: Sumner Run, Iowa, United States Occupation: Super-criminal, grad student Affiliations: The Freebooter (she claims), Hanover Institute of Technology Family: Mother, father, siblings Description: Age: 22 (1989) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Scots-Irish Height: 5' 0"/6' 3" in armor Weight: 75 lbs/400 lbs in armor Eyes: Green Hair: Brown Outside of her armor, Molly O'connel is a rather unassuming-looking woman, short and slim. Her mousey-brown hair usually left long and brushed to cover her emerald eyes. She prefers to dress in loose clothes that hide the shape of her body and rarely makes eye contact if she can avoid it. The Jolly Regina suit is pitch black, aside from the white skull-helmet and the white markings on the wings that spread out from the back. Power Descriptions: Molly is the designer and creator of the Jolly Regina, a suit of super-advanced armor. In addition to its mass which gives it a hefty punch, the suit can leap amazingly long distances and utilizes an integrated gatling cannon. If she faces an unusual challenge, Molly can also devise unique contraptions to help her past them. History: Molly O'Connell was born in Sumner Run, a sleepy farming town in Iowa where not much had changed since the Fifties. She was an incredibly smart young woman though, and more interested in noodling around with her family's defunct microwave than the 'normal' female activities. She very nearly monopolized her family's internet connection; even when she wasn't actively surfing, she was usually downloading or uploading something. She taught herself how to build machines and circuits, how to program and hack a mainframe. For her high school science project she built a supercomputer out of parts from the city's scrap metal yard. For her genius she was awarded a full ride at HIT.

Like, say, the essential Dr. Erskine dies a day before the fateful experiment to produce the greatest soldier ever known? Well, it turns out that Steve Rogers sticks around long after the other hopefuls have left, and his determination and patriotism made him the perfect test subject for another experiment, affectionately nick-named "Iron Man." The rest, as they say, is comic books... Here's a patriotic battlesuit circa 1940. The suit itself is pretty standard fare; moving all-out it can fly as fast as a Spitfire, it's nearly immune to anything on the battlefield but a tank round, and it can bring enough firepower to a fight to wipe out an infantry battalion with its mechanical strength, autocannon arm, flamethrower attachment, and shoulder-mounted rockets. Or switch out the Flight for Swimming, spend the extra points on a sonar or radar Super-Sense and he's the ultimate sub hunter! (Might want to switch out the flamethrower for something else in that case -- Drain (Toughness) as a cutting torch, to slice through sub hulls?) Some might be crying foul as this is a Captain America without Master Plan or Taunt, but consider it as an Issue 0 version -- he's just stepped into the armor, and hasn't yet picked up the skills that five years of grueling warfare will teach him. At the very least, his Inspire and Leadership hint at the leader he will be. Why doesn't he have the Normal Identity Drawback? Well, in the comic book he was pretty much sealed into the suit... As an origin, the comic book one works more or less perfectly. A military project (probably under the auspices of AEGIS) to create a suit of powered armor hits a snag when it turns out that to make the suit human-sized, the pilot has to be pretty scrawny. So instead of the strapping Marine they were planning, the military has to bring in a 98 pound weakling. Good thing they can boost the power on those servo muscles, ehn? If you don't like the military angle, swap out Connected and Benefit for a couple ranks of Benefit (Wealth) and say that this character bought the suit, to augment his fearsome mind and presence with the correct hardware. Or with Inventor and a rank of Equipment (to buy a proper lab space) he could even have built it! For that last one, you probably will want to cannibalize the skill list for more Craft and Knowledge. As it stands, this character could maintain the suit and make field repairs, but not much else.

However, since I would prefer to keep this thread from simply being a complete reprint of various Oddballs, I needed to come up with a unique idea. Low and behold, here it is -- an Exalted Warstrider as a PL 10 starting character. Well, not exactly the Warstrider since those are simply mechs that Exalted pilot, but instead sort of the sorcerous equivalent of Extremis armor; a Large-sized suit of armor that makes the user immune to a lot of standard battlefield hazards, composed of pure magical energy and summoned whenever the wielder is in need of it. The armor itself is pretty bare-bones, but still quite expensive! I went for more of a Powerhouse than Paragon, i.e. no Flight and limited Immunities. It wouldn't be at all a bad thing to bolster those with earned PP, or maybe fill out the skills and feats so this guy doesn't look like such a workaholic! The origin for this character is probably tied in to what sort of magic they wield. I made this one into a straight-up Western-style hermetic, but an animist or even some kind of theurge is not outside the realm of possibility. Cloak yourself in the power of ancient spirits, or call upon God Himself to help you smite the wicked and unrighteous!... As long as you don't try to stuff any of that down the throats of your fellow players.

What if you investigated and found a weird, black liquid oozing out of it, like tar out of the world's biggest jawbreaker? What if the tar made a leap for your face? Congraulations, you just became the latest host of an adaptable alien symbiote, a traveler among the stars that needs a host for a little bit, just until it gets back in fighting trim... This is a build for Mimic inside of a battlesuit. For a long time I was stumped on how to do it -- how does a purely mechanical construction justify absorbing and duplicating such a wide range of effects? Then I realized, I don't have to make it purely mechanical! This battlesuit is a living thing, closer in spirit to the Venom symbiote of Spider-Man fame than anything Tony Stark has ever dreamed up. It can mimic up to 30 PP worth of effects from any superpowered individual it touches, plenty of points to grab (most of) an array. Even in situations where you can't steal those powers, the suit boosts its wearer's physical abilities to superhuman levels, letting them stand toe-to-toe with much more powerful foes. This character could be a versatile hero as well as an intimidating foe, due in part to the Morph attached to the Mimic. The bearer can imitate the form of any humanoid enemy they can Mimic. On the one hand, a villain could use this to steal a hero's powers and identity to tarnish their good name. On the other hand, what better way to reinforce your secret identity than to be saved by the hero you're supposed to be -- complete with the correct power set? Keep in mind as the character increases in PL to keep Mimic up, as well. I would recommend being able to grab a number of PP equal to about three times your effective PL, but find what works for you.

Why can't the Scarab fly around in a real suit of armor? Actually, as the pic may have hinted, this build is more based off Gideon Ravenor, an inhabitant of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Dime-store version, Ravenor was an incredibly gifted Inquisitorial acolyte until a disaster confined him to a bed. Rather than give up on life, he constructed a badass combat hospital bed, encased it in inches-thick steel, and used his mythically powerful mind to turn it into a floating tank. Hm... powerful psychic suffers a personal tragedy that destroys their mobility, but they learn to use their mental talents to stay a formidable force in combat? Where have I heard that story before? Leaving aside the parallels, this is a bog-standard battlesuit with some psychic powers outside of it. That can come as a surprise to anyone who expects someone in power armor to be a wrecking ball and not much else! The suit is Toughness-shifted because I imagine a character such as this isn't very agile; the paraplegia would be best handled through a Complication instead of a Drawback, since it wouldn't come up in combat all that much. They don't have Normal Identity because, while they have to put the armor on, they do have some powers outside of it. Future purchases might boost their ability either inside the suit or out of it; buy them Force Field instead of Protection and the suit becomes useful mainly for the attacks it grants. Putting aside the crippled genius archetype for a moment, I could see this as an application of one of the wackier powers in comic books: tactile telekinesis. Basically this character would be a continent-shattering telekinetic... if they had a reach longer than their arm. So instead of buffing it up and becoming a Paragon, they used their mind to build a suit instead! Powers and costume, all in one. I suppose you could also have this as a weak telekinetic who hides the 'triggers' and other control surfaces to the suit inside the walls of the armor itself, requiring one to be able to reach inside with either telekinesis or magnetism to use the suit.

Oh yeah, he works you hard and expects you to give it your all every day, but you'd do that anyway because that's what it means to be a hero! You're the quick jibe to his brutal interrogation, the joke to his growl. Okay, maybe your instincts run more towards gadgets than hard-core investigation, but that's just because they're so cool, right!? And then there was that battle with him nemesis, atop the bridge... They both fought to the edge of exhaustion, and they both fell... But the city still needed a hero, and you created something that goes just a bit beyond a utility belt in order to fulfill that need. Here is a PL 6 costumed adventurer's sidekick boosted up to PL 10 caps with the help of good ol' power armor! He takes the do-not-kill rule to heart with a combat array that features no Toughness-related effects, but the suit does make him bulletproof and lets him swing through the city at 40 MPH (provided he doesn't take any sharp turns -- or any turns at all). As far as most power armor builds go, this one is very sparse. Future points could be put towards more APs on the Nonlethal Array, or some Super-Senses, or even a full-on Flight or Concealment if you want to go more of a Batman Beyond direction. As an origin, well, I already gave you one, didn't I? Young apprentice of an established hero, is forced to watch while his mentor dies in a climactic battle with the hero's nemesis. Instead of allowing crime and anarchy to rule the day, the hero uses his knack for technology to build himself a battlesuit, to take the fight to the streets with the power of the Twenty-First Century!

This may be my most conventional battlesuit yet, but in some ways it may also be my oddest. On the one hand it's got all the classic markers of a battlesuit; incredibly intelligent but weak creator, Impervious Protection, Flight, a big ol' combat array, and Super-Senses; on the other hand this is a battlesuit without any Enhanced Strength or Super-Strength, or even full Life Support. Still and all, a solid build for an energy controlling battlesuit. The pilot here is manipulating one of the more exotic energy types: gravity. They can generate a sphere of gravity to blast away at opponents, twist a target's insides with gravitic vortexes, root them in one place or slow 'em down, or lift them into the air. Oh, and don't forget flying, too, that's very important. Potential avenues for growth: any of the options mentioned above, anything mentioned in Doktor Archeville's excellent examination of the subject, or maybe some sort of targeting computer using Enhanced Feat to get the combat maneuvering line. I already alluded to a potential origin; theoretical physicist generates a black hole in a laboratory experiment that goes out of the control. He manages to shut the black hole down, but later on recreates the conditions and boom! Baby black hole, ready for the use! Long enamored by superheros (or perhaps fearing what would happen if this technology fell into the wrong hands) the scientist constructs a suit of armor, powered by the black hole and controlling the force of gravity itself, to fight crime and defend his discovery.

Why, step into a suit of power armor and become strong enough to bench-press a tank! This is a PL 7 brawler with a battlesuit that makes them into a PL 10 powerhouse. This build demonstrates two things: firstly, how a battlesuit can change around the focus of a character's abilities (from a canny-but-weak fighter to a strong-but-inaccurate powerhouse); secondly how a battlesuit can be made from another build. This here is Geez3r's Brawler build, adjusted slightly to fit my own mechanical preferences, but with the powers contained in a battlesuit. Another consideration is that this PC is in no way smart enough to build this suit or rich enough to buy it. So how do they get it? In a word: Theft! Imagine a criminal mastermind vexed at every turn by our PL 7 hero(ine) here. The villain develops and releases a horde of battlesuits that enable even the lowliest mook to stand toe-to-toe with the hero's mighty muscles. What is the hero to do... except bash one open and steal it for themselves? With +8 Craft (Mechanical) and Improvised Tools, they can maintain the suit in the field, but they'll be stuck for major repairs or modifications. Time to team up with a proper gadgeteer, perhaps? The build's biggest weakness may be lack of variety. As the PP pile up, consider getting some Power Feats for the S-Strength, or even some proper ranged attacks. Just remember that a Powerhouse is only a few PP from a Paragon. Be sure what you want your character to do!

Well this fellow can't make any more of them, but he can sure make them last longer. This is a normal (well, genius) guy who has built a battlesuit in the basement of his clock repair shop that can, conveniently enough, control another fundamental constant of the universe: time! What can he do with it? Well besides making perfect coffee every damn time he can slow a person down, fatigue them by making them live through an entire day in a few seconds, or age parts of their body far beyond the rest of it. He has most of the normal weaknesses of a battlesuit, namely being reliant on the suit itself to do much of anything 'super' as well as very low exotic saves (except for Reflex, of course). He still has to put the suit on, and while it lets him take much more of a beating than he could otherwise he's hardly bulletproof. On the other hand he can survive in just about the most inclement environments, and the Quickness means he can make more use out of Inventor and his Knowledge skills than you might expect! The original idea for this build was a time-controller-turned-speedster, a la the now defunct Zephyr, and it would still be possible to reach that would a little rebuilding. Remove the weird time attacks and give the suit Enhanced Strength + Autofire, maybe Shield instead of so much Protection for a Defense-shifted character. If you go that route I would recommend boosting the Power Reserve as the character gains PP or even boosting the Quickness directly. Nothing quite says 'speedster' quite like reading a library as a full-round action!

I'm more familiar with the BtAS version, who appeared for all of two episodes, but the image above (from Arkham Asylum) looks a bit more like a battlesuit. Mechanically, the suit is an exercise in how to manipulate Strike to get a variety of effects. This character can shoot out a line of fire like a military flamethrower, a cone of fire more like a comic book or video game flamethrower, or even a quick blast of fire to the face if you're worried about bystanders. How can you tell this character is a hero instead of a pyromaniac villain? Well, for one he has a fire extinguisher to stop any fires he starts. A background for this character? He has the skills to be a doctor. Maybe he saw one too many burn victims and decided to take his vengeance to the streets? A bit dark, but it plays to the powerset. Replace Medicine with Know/Physical Sciences or boost his physical ability scores and he could be a firefighter. In that case perhaps his HQ is a renovated firehouse? All sorts of room for customization with this character!

I am unabashed about my love for Spider-Man's Stark Tech armor, the Iron Spider Armor. I think it's one of the more visually interesting and generally exciting superhero revamps to come out of the mess that was Marvel's Civil War. I understand why it didn't really fit with what Spider-Man is and why it had to go, but I still love it. So here it is in my build thread! Don't worry, I'll get a Speedster battlesuit up eventually. This is a slightly different take on Peter Parker. Instead of getting spider-powers from the bite of an irradiated spider, all he got was a nasty lump and flu-like symptoms for a few days as the radiation and spider venom passed through his system. That meant he was stuck at home when his Uncle Ben went into the city for a job interview. A carjacking, hospital visit, and inspirational quote later and young Peter Parker knew that he couldn't simply life a quiet life in the suburbs. He was destined for something... more. As spider-suits go, this one is pretty basic. It's got an additional four limbs growing out the back, an array of spider-like abilities and can swing through the city on carbon-carbon lines faster than most cars can. The armor makes the wearer bullet-proof to anything up to and including an assault rifle, and the Super-Senses not only allow them to see in the dark, but also to listen in on civilian and police band radio chatter. A solid foundation, I think, and something to build on.

Or at least one of four. One day four ordinary Brooklyn turtles crawled into some very un-ordinary mutagenic ooze, grew in size and intelligence, and were taken in by a similarly mutated rat who went by Master Splinter. The oldest and more dutiful of these sons was Leonardo, trained with the deadly katanas (though in the picture it's more like a pair of ninjato). Inspired by Michael Bay's, uh, interpreation of the turtles, here's the first of my own. This, as previously stated, is Leonardo, the leader of the group. Before a fight, he can use Master Plan to give the Turtles an edge on a foe (he could conceivably hit the +3 mark every time) and during it, the Teamwork feat lets him set up enemies for his brothers to take down!

The clown and the mouth of the group, Mickey was the "totally radical" mouthpiece of the 80s cartoon show. He's built a little bit more around Defense than his brothers, but with a lot more ways to make an enemy flat-footed. His nunchaku make him a bit more able to handle a whirlwind of mooks, rather appropriate for a pair of spinning sticks!

Raph was the loner of the group, at least as prone to striking off on his own as he was to stay with the group and fight alongside his brothers. That's okay, though, every Four Man Band needs a choleric ass-kicker to turn to when things are down. Raph's the guy who takes point when someone needs to be scared, or when they need to track someone through the mean streets of New York.

Donny's cool, man! He's the most technically inclined of the Turtles, and as such is responsible for the vast majority of their little tricks. Given that he also spends a fair bit of time surfing the web (NEEEEEERRRRRRRD!) he's also the one who's usually up on current events.

The title nation, Alera, is dominated by descendents of the Roman Empire that all have a singular ability; the power to manipulate a specific element, either air, earth, fire, water, or metal. This usually manifests in the form of an anthropomorphic beast called a 'fury.' Most people have some aptitude with all five elements, but here's someone who can only work with earth. Mind you, this doesn't make him someone you want to mess with! He's strong enough to throw a car, can ride along a raised platform of dirt or burrow directly through the earth, or throw it at you in all sorts of ways to mess up your day; an earthquake to knock you down, a rock to the face, turning the ground under you to mud, or, um, calming you down. Hey, it's in the books! Though Emotion Control (Lust) is also in there, but that's a bit squicky to consider. The Dimensional Movement and Equipment suggest that this character could in fact be a refugee from Alera, albeit one who has some method of constructing dimensional gates out of untouched, unworked dirt (the unworked part is important: he can't make a gate out of an artificial hill or a concrete wall just because it has some dirt or stone in it! It has to be a natural formation). Even if he's denied his powers for some reason, he's still PL 7 or so with his hammer and armor. With those, well, he's technically brakes caps with the hammer, but it'd also probably crumble in one blow with all of his 30 Strength behind it! I figure with his Calm ability, he's the peacemaker and talker of the group (hint: I'm gonna make a few more of these) and is likely the one trying to get folks to give up before they get too hurt. Don't push 'em, though, or you'll find the very earth under your feet rising up to hit you!
