Ronin doesn’t really know who he is or where he comes from. What he does know is that he was once a member of an elite Black Ops team called Nemesis. The only clue to his identity was his dog tags, with the name Adam Wallace on it. They were mercenaries, working for whoever paid the most, the problem with that was that they never received any money. Whoever controlled the Nemesis, had their memories wiped when missions were over, and placed them into suspended animation until the next mission.

Ronin began to understand his teammates better, particularly Viper, but memories of their life before continued to elude them. But after months of killing for profit, Ronin came to the realization that the memory wipes were a blessing in disguise. He often did horrible things for pay, and some of the other seemed to enjoy it. Eventually Ronin decided that that he would leave Nemesis and Viper. Unfortunately Nemesis didn’t know that their former employers were the Labyrinth, and Ms. Scarlett wasn’t going to let some failed experiments humiliate her. It was easy to find them because one of their teammates, Massacre, had turned on them. The Labyrinth soldiers ambushed them on their latest mission. The Fighting was brutal but short. At some point a massive explosion launched an unconscious Ronin into a nearby river. He awoke a few hours later far away. Rather than returning to Nemesis, Ronin set out on his own. Ronin continued his work as a mercenary around the world, though he continued to look over his shoulder. He was still a hired gun, but now he took jobs that didn’t bother his conscious. He gained a reputation for effectiveness if not efficiency. But it wasn’t long before his past caught up to him. Ronin found himself attacked by more strange soldiers while in, Hong Kong. Then suddenly he was saved by Viper and the others from Nemesis. When the battle was over Viper told, they had come to find him. They were Nemesis no longer, but the Sons of Ares. Viper had regained his memories and he wanted to punish the Labyrinth for what they had done. Ronin wanted payback too but had no intention of working with the Sons. Viper was upset but he left Ronin with the only clue he had, that the trail began in Freedom City. It didn’t take long for Ronin to make his way to Freedom. He didn’t know if he wanted revenge he wasn’t sure if even wanted his memories back, but he wanted some answers and if he had to operate in the Labyrinth’s backyard then so be it.

Powers & Tactics: The primary experiment performed on Ronin was one designed, to distill and transfer the experiences of other people to a different person. Ronin's memory network has been overlaid with the memories and experiences of a host of different operatives, to create a soldier that is literally "ready for anything". ----------Complications--------- Enemies Description: Labyrinth: Though he doesn't really understand who or what the Labyrinth is, they know a lot about him.

Barnum Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 If I've crunched the numbers correctly you are . . . +8 to hit with your sword, +8 to hit with your rifle +8 damage with rifle, +8 damage with sword (with an additional +2 possible with sneak attack) +9 defense +9 toughness save That's pretty "lite" for a PL 10 character. Is that right?

Heridfel Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I'm ok with it as well, given that your saves are near PL and won't cause you to lose by themselves. Being PL 9 for offense and defense is ok; it just means that you'll probably want to spend a lot of your early pp on increasing your PL-capped traits to PL 11 (since you will be PL 11 with your first earned pp). Approved.

Warmonger Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Ok. This is the new version. I built him on 150pps just in case I lost my earned ones. "----------Character Details--------- Player Name: Warmonger Character Name: Adam Wallace Character Alias: Ronin GM's Name: Age: 34 Height: 6'2"" Weight: 230 Hair: ??? Eyes: ??? Power Level: 10 Power Points: 158 Unspent PPs: 2 Appearance: -------------------------------------- ----------Background--------- The son of a Marine Corps Staff Sgt it seemed only natural that Adam would one day enlist himself. Adam enlisted in the army at the age of 17 as soon as he graduated from high school. Adam who already possessed phenomenal physical and mental toughness was a natural fit for military life. Adam quickly became a Ranger, then he joined Delta force. Soon after he would join an elite U.N strike force called Raptor. When he arrived in Ireland to meet his new comrades, he became acquainted with the charismatic Colonel Morrison. The men were put through rigorous tests with many failing out. At the end only half the applicants remained. The men were then told that the next phase would transform them from ordinary soldiers to a new generation of warriors. The men were injected with various mutagenic serums and bombarded with different wavelengths of radiation. They would undergo severe psychological reconditioning, and their trianing would be at the hands of the best instructors in the world.The final phase however, had a high mortality rate and of the 100 that applied only 30 survived. These survivors would form the backbone of Raptor. The new team was a great success executing various black-ops mission against powerful groups like Shadow. However it became clear as time progressed that the experiments had several unforeseen mental side effects, often generating paranoia schizophrenia and hyper aggression among the candidates. Worse it seemed that Colonel Morrison the group’s leader was the most mentally unstable. When the U.N finally decided to pull the plug the discovered that Morrison had been preparing to break form them anyway. Unison agents stormed the Raptor training compound but were bitterly resisted. Raptor fought off the Unison soldiers but had to flee before reinforcements could arrive. The now master less Raptors were now under the control of Colonel Morrison. Adam was only too happy to get out from underneath the government’s thumb. Believing in Morrison’s vision of a world where soldiers fought for themselves instead of being the tools of a corrupt government, Adam followed the mercenary company to battlefield after battlefield, selling their services and dodging Unison. Things would change, as one of their missions took them back to the United States. Adam discovered that their mission was destruction of a dam, something that would result in untold civilian deaths. Adam argued with Morrison, but when his commander would not relent Adam fought him and the other Titans. In the fight Adam was able to stop the bombs but the last one exploded blowing him into the torrent of water. He washed up a few hours later in a river several miles from where he had been. Afterwards Adam decided that his mistake had been to work for anyone besides himself. He decided he would start again in Freedom City somewhere where no one would know him. He would continue to do what he did best and if he ran across the Raptors again he would finish what he started. Personality: Ronin is somewhat strange for a hired killer. He rarely seems to take his work seriously, though he engages in acts of destruction with relish. He is reckless with his own life and is fond of taking unnecessary risks. He has his own strange code that dictates what job he will take. Though he has never been known to quit on an employer. He has made few freinds and numerous enemies in his time in Freedom City, particularly among the Vigilantes of the night, who he has crossed paths with on many occasions. -------------------------------------- Ability Scores 32pp Strength: 18 (+4) Dexterity: 18 (+4) Constitution: 18 (+4) Intelligence: 10 (0) Wisdom: 18 (+4) Charisma: 10 (0) Saves 6pp Toughness: +6 (+4 Con, +2 Body Armor) Fortitude: +4 (Con, +4) Reflex: +10 (+6 Dex, +4) Willpower: +4 (Wis, +4) Combat 20pp Attack Bonus: +5, +5 melee, Grapple: +12 Defense Bonus: +5 (+3 flat footed) Knockback: -4, -2 without Armor Initiative: +12 Lifting Capacity Light Load: 100 lbs Medium Load: 200 lbs Heavy Load: 300 lbs Max Load: 600 lbs Push/Drag: 1500 lbs Movement Rate Base Speed: 30 ft/r / 60 ft/r / 120 ft/r Leap: 15 ft / 5 ft / 5 ft Skills 92r=23pp Acrobatics 4 (+8) Disable Device 8 (+8) Drive 4 (+8) Gather Info 8 (+8) Intimidate 8 (+8) Knowledge -Streetwise 8 (+8) -Tactics 8 (+8) Notice 11 (+15) Pilot 4 (+8) Profession 8 (+12) Search (+0) Sense Motive 4 (+8) Stealth 4 (+8) Survival 8 (+12) Swim (+4) LANGUAGES English, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, German, Swahili Feats 20pp Ambidexterity: Eliminate Off-hand penalties Assessment: Know a subject's relative offensive and defensive ability Contacts: Make a Gather Information check in one minute Eidetic Memory: Perfect recall of everything you've experienced Diehard: Automatically stabilize when dying Equipment 10: 50 points worth of equipment Finishing Blow: Perform a coup de grace as a standard action Improved Initiative 2: +8 bonus on initiative checks Power Attack: Reduce attack bonus to increase damage bonus Quick Draw 1: Draw & ready a weapon as a free action Equipment: Hideout Size: Medium; Toughness: 10; Features: Communications, Computer, Gym, Living Space, Power System, Security System.

You hold your opponent immobile as normal, but must remain immobile yourself to continue the crushing pin. You suffer a –4 defense penalty while maintaining a Crushing Pin, in addition to losing your dodge bonus against anyone you aren’t grappling, as normal. Damaging Escape: When you escape from a grapple, you get an unarmed attack against the grappler as a free action. You still have to roll to hit. This feat works with the Takedown Attack feat (see Takedown Attack, M&M, page 64), making it very effective against minions grappling you in large numbers. Dodge Focus (2) Grappling Block: When you successfully block a melee attack while unarmed, you can initiate a grapple against your attacker as a free action without an initial attack roll Grappling Finesse Improved Grab Improved Grapple Prone Fighting Reversal: When you escape from being grappled, you may immediately make a grapple check against the attacker from whom you escaped. If you escaped from multiple grapplers, you must choose one to be the target of your grapple check.

Avenger Assembled Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Warmonger, would you mind posting an explanation for feats like Dirty Fighting/Cunning Fighter, etc? The Refs all have the core book, but we don't all have Warriors and Warlocks. :D
Avenger Assembled Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 OK, sorry for the delay. We do have some work here, Warmonger. You know the score; an unusual sheet requires an unusual amount of work. In other words, if the Refs have to do an unusual amount of work, so do you. Could you put the finalized version of your draft of the character sheet at the top of the thread? And once you've done that, drop the boxed "Alternate Forms". I'd prefer it if you had his stat block written something like Attack: +5 base (+10 Swordsman form, +13 Ninja form), etc. That will make it much, much easier to read and understand, especially in play.
Warmonger Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Ok how is that? Not sure if it's 'easier'.
Avenger Assembled Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 So far everything looks good, Warmonger. I just have to run a quick check with Doc Arch, and I may be able to give you your first approval. :D
Avenger Assembled Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 OK, Warmonger, here are my comments. (I think I led you astray earlier.) The big issue with the sheet right now is that you've just got too many points in your alternate forms. Putting aside balance issues of making a character this way, you've made the sheet just too hard to follow. I think it would be to your advantage to make a sheet organized very differently. If you are dead-set on the alternate forms, drop them down to 10-15 points each. And as mentioned above, you just...don't need to build a character like this. Consider using Elric's Punisher or Black Widow as a base guideline for how to build your character. Look at Instant Superheroes' "Soldier of Fortune" for another possible variant. Those would be very helpful to you.
Warmonger Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Ok thank you for your response. I have edited again using the Exemplar power from Worlds of Freedom. A little pricey but it gives me the flexibility I want without being strange (I hope).
Avenger Assembled Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 OK, War, I know we've been talking about the edits you're planning for the sheet. Do you want to go ahead with us looking at this one?
