Supercape Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Lord Steam Power Level: 9/14 (206/211PP) Trade-Offs: +4 Attack / -4 Damage (for revolver, +5 attack/-5 Damage), +5 Defense / -5 Toughness Unspent PP: 6 Progress To Impervium Status: 100/150 (Platinum Status earned with Supercape) In Brief: Steampunk Sherlock Residence: Steam Manor, North Bay, Freedom City Alternate Identities: Lord Lucien Lockwood Identity: Public Birthplace: London (Earth Victoriana Dimension) Occupation: Aristocrat Gentleman / Diplomat. Affiliations: Ministry of Extraordinary Affairs (Earth Victoriana) Family: Lord Lombard Lockward, elderly aristocrat. Residence / Base: Steam Manor (North Bay) Age: 32 (DoB: 03/03/1981) Apparent Age: 30 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 6'1" Weight: 85 Kgs Eyes: Blue-Green Hair: Brown Description: "Lord Steam", or Lord Lucien Lockwood, is the official diplomat from Earth Victoriana to Earth Prime, and has volunteered for the Job as it sounded so damned exciting. He is a famous adventurer, inventor, and detective, and whilst perfectly able as a diplomat, he can't help throwing himself into the service of Freedom City and rushing to meet any adventure. Physically he is a handsome man in his prime, tall, athletic, with a mop of hair who wears excellent quality 19th Century fashion clothes. Power Descriptions: None. Whilst Lord Steam is a polymath, athlete, and dripping in wealth, he has no human powers. His mental functioning approaches human maximum potential. History: Lord Steam is part of a very wealthy aristocratic family from Earth Victoriana. All his life, he has been a curious even reckless adventurer. It became obvious from an early age that he was a polymath, and a restless one at that, always keen to stretch his mind to some puzzle or another. Even as a teenager, he had taken to solving crime as a hobby. and he has become well known as an amateur sleuth. After a stint at Oxford studying the classics, he has since driven his own education in a variety of fields, including engineering, forensic science, and pretty much anything he can wrap his head around. A restless soul, he has taken to all sorts of philanthropic work over the past eight years, such as help improve railway design, campaign for human rights, improve factory working conditions etc. Alongside this he has been an avid cricket player, and a hit on the social circuit with a reputation for magnificent parties and great wit. More recently, crime has been his hobby, and it looks like this one will stick. He has taken up the martial art of Baritsu and become a skilled fighter. Whilst he has had a few bar room brawls with seedy and rude gentlemen, his main goal is the apprehension of master criminals and the solving of mysteries. Crimes where he can put his superior intellect to bear alongside his martial prowess. When interdimensional contact between Earth Victoriana and Earth Prime was made, Lord Steam instantly volunteered to be official dimplomat to the Empire in this wonderful new dimension - unable to resist the lure of its magnificent adventures and tales. And whilst he does, technically serve in some limited capacity as a diplomat, his real reason for coming to Freedom City is to continue his adventures, solve crime, and be a hero! Technically as an interdimensional envoy, he has diplomatic immunity in this dimension (At least to most nations), but he has hardly one to break the Law - at least intentionally. Personality & Motivation: Lord Steam is a restless and curious soul, unable to keep his nose out of trouble. Despite his intellect - and it is an intellect he uses - he is by nature somewhat reckless, a thrill seeker. One must also consider his upbringing - he believes in doing the right thing, in manners, politeness, law, and social order. In some ways, his aristocratic upbringing holds on to the code of "chivalry" from days past. He is no stick in the mud, however. He is also charismatic and charming, and loves throwing a good party and the company of equally charming women. He has a taste for all the fine expensive things in life, and only the best will do! Powers & Tactics: Whilst generally fearless and a man of action, and not afraid to jump into the thick of a brawl, Lord Steam prefers to use intellectual masterstrokes and battles of wits. If he can outwit an opponent, so much sweeter the victory. Goading, taunting, trickery, and planning are all spices to his fight. Complications: Antiquated Attitude: Lord Steam is somewhat antiquated in his view on servants, class, and women, although always polite about it. Curiosity killed the Cat: The finest mind means the finest curiosity. Poking his nose in, and never letting go till the mystery is unravelled! Schmoozer: With an eye for the ladies, fine wine, and parties, Lord Steam can be distracted... Silver Spoon: Only the best will do. Lord Steam simply can't do without luxuries or living in anything but splendour. Steampunk Mechanic: Whilst clever with steampunk technology, modern stuff usually defeats Lord Steam.

Power Level: 6 (90/90) Trade-Offs: +2 Attack/-2 Defence, +2 Defence/-2 Toughness Unspent Power Points: 0 In Brief: Ex-Army Butler Birthplace: Canterbury, England (Earth Victoriana Dimension) Occupation: Butler / Aide Affiliations: Lord Steam Family: Horatio Blakely (Brother, Admiral), Maurice Blakely (Son, Newspaper writer) Description: Age: 59 Apparent Age: 59 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5’10†Weight: 63 Kgs Eyes: Blue Hair: Grey-Black Charles Blakely looks like a mature man with a thin build and a refined air. History: Charles grew up in a Military Family, and soon was doing the tours of Africa and India.His career came to an end (as a Sergeant) when he was stabbed by a Zulu Spear in the leg. A nagging injury and middle age put paid to his career, and, truth be known, he was looking for something else at that point anyway. His impressive credentials and service ended up with him meeting Lord Steam, and being taken on as an aide and head butler.A proper Englishman, Blakely soon adapted to this life, acting as a rather stiff and mannered caretaker of the wild genius that was Lucien Lockwood. He has one child, born out of wedlock, aged but 25, who is a roving reporter for a newspaper in London, Earth Victoriana, who constantly presses him for information and gossip, and gets into all sorts of trouble. Personality & Motivation: Charles is in general a slow, reflective, and measured man, always polite and diplomatic. That said, he has a desire to see the world and adventure, and enjoys the unusual and wonderful in the world. His main motivation is to observe the world, and Lord Steam, a man for which he has immense, but not unquestioning respect. He is rather passionate about good cooking, cleanliness, and manners. Powers & Tactics: Blakely has no powers and in general will not fight. He assists Lord Steam in more mundane duties, including driving and some of his mechanical work. That is not to say he will not take on a thug or two if needed. Whilst past the prime of his life, he is in reasonable shape and is a seasoned military officer.

Geez3r Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Due to our house rules, you only retain a Defense Bonus when flat-footed for even values. So you would have a +2 FF Defense with a +5 Defense. You have 48 ranks for 12pp, not 46. You need to alphabatize your feats. The fluff could use some flushing out.
Supercape Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Mechanical Changes made (including replacing Contacts with Connected, I just spotted that). Not sure what you mean by "flushing out" - you mean expanded on?
Geez3r Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah. It just seems a little bare bones is all. Also, in the feats section, it says 0pp when it should say 19. It's accounted for correctly at the bottom of the sheet.
Supercape Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Edits made, including some expansion of fluff. I don't think I can add any more at this point - its not a particularly complex character.
Supercape Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Yes. Awaiting second approval in the fullness.
