4) No more than 3 Endbringers at a time. First come first served, and you play like canon Endbringers – you periodically show up to wreck everybody’s shit.
5) I’m thinking of making this into a proper RP if I can find a decent place to host it. No drop-ins or gifts – let’s keep it in-character.

The setting itself is Metropolis, a typical extra-large New York sandbox rip-off. Even though it’s all the same setting you can pick Gestation, the Golden Age or Worthless Opponent as your scenario, but it won’t mean much more than a difference in starting points. Canon characters – Contessa, Skitter, Eidolon, Glaistig Uaine, etc – don’t exist in Metropolis. Every organisation mentioned in the CYOA still exists, but with none of the canon characters in it and they are based out of Metropolis. The Protectorate and the Wards still exist, as does the PRT. The Guild is not Canadian. The Undersiders are pre-Taylor heisters. The ABB and E88 are locked in a turf war and the Merchants sell drugs to homeless people. S9 exists and you can be in it, but you’ll probably end up with a kill order on you.

Cauldron still exists and is still a secret organisation that wants to manufacture more parahumans and take control of as many parahuman organisations as possible in preparation for fighting the Entities. Conspirators are active members of Cauldron and still get access to those sweet, sweet Cauldron powers. If you have a dead shard and you aren’t a case 53, you either stole from Cauldron or secretly work for them. If you work for them, your job is to get into a position of power within your organisation to further cauldron’s reach. If you stole from them expect Conspirators to hunt you down – or heroes working for Cauldron.

The Birdcage exists. It is not in Metropolis, and unless stated is exactly the same as in canon – a giant guardless prison run by AIs with no way out. If you are a villain and you get caught three times or you get caught after doing something horrific you end up here til it’s time to fight the entities.

A few final notes:

Case 53 flaw x1 = you are a human with a few extra parts, like elf ears, feathers in your hair, weird pupils/irises/sclera, extra fingers etc. Think Canary from canon.

Case 53 Flaw x2 = you are still recognisably humanoid, but not as a “human”. Think Gully or Weld from canon – you genuinely look like a monster and ordinary humans might be nervous or quick to judge you.

Case 53 x3 = you are no longer recognisable as human. Think Garotte or Mantellum from canon. People who see you will think you’re a monster and may run screaming from you.

Having a kill order on you means you did something truly horrific or awful, or have repeatedly shown yourself to be too dangerous to be safely apprehended by the authorities. In short, you’ve killed people and as a result there's a fuckhueg bounty on you, which anyone - from heroes to sinister villains to rule-breaking vigilantes to every yahoo with a gun - can collect on, with no questions asked an no attempts to arrest them. They just stroll into Protectorate HQ, drop off your severed head, get given their money and walk out, even if they're a wanted felon.

And that's it. I'll post my build soon. If you have any questions feel free to ask. When you post a build, remember to include your character's name an a few sentences explaining who they are. I've got a pastebin up to record everyone's names, affiliations and character data. I'll post a link soon.

Team Leader

Hastet is the weary leader of the Protectorate. After a trigger involving her cat shelter and an abusive ex-boyfriend she mutated into a catwoman. She found her way to the Protectorate and quickly became a media darling, rising through the Wards to eventually join the Protectorate proper. She quickly became famous for her quips and stylish acrobatics. Sadly, that was a while ago now. After her promotion to team leader when her predecessor was killed by an Endbringer, she became much wearier. Suddenly having to manage a team, deal with her superiors in the PRT, be diplomatic with the Guild and Haven, and organise Endbringer fights on top of her regular job fighting villains has taken a lot out of her. And that’s without mentioning her mounting frustrations with her fetishisation by certain people as “a real catgirl”. She’s still a great superhero, but she misses the days when the only thing people expected from her was snark and violence.

Buddy, if you want replies maybe you should actually tell people in the cyoag that this is a thing.

Probably not a good time either, as it seems they hit the bump limit.

Info:
>An unknown serpent-like creature was recently discovered off the coast of North America. It was quickly classified as another Endbringer, not only due to it's immense size, but it's ability to fire highly pressurized jets of water and lightning that managed to take down all surveillance vehicles. It has also been recorded in combat with other Endbringers although the question why is still under debate.

>Although rarely seen on land, the few times it was encountered near the coast, it seemed to have altered all the surrounding terrain into open ocean. However Oceanus has not ventured very far inland with this terraforming ability so it's extents are still unknown. This ability seems to precede Oceanus and has been used as signal of his appearance. It's other abilities include being able to utilize water as a weapon, much like Leviathan, although Oceanus seems to favor using extremely pressurized jets of water as opposed to large waves and blasts. Oceanus also has been monitored generating and expelling bolts of electricity although it seems to be a fairly rare occurrence.

>Thought to be strictly bound to the ocean, given the fact that Oceanus transforms land into ocean before heading close inland, an impossibly large serpent-like creature has been recorded "flying" in large storm clouds. The only creature resembling the thing in these reports are Oceanus but if this was true, then it must have some sort of telekinesis or flight ability, making it an even bigger threat then was previouslybelieved. However reports of this flying serpent are few and far between, making this nothing but a rumor.

Alright, I guess I should explain how I think the Manton Effect of this power combo works. The common ratio is 2, the effect multiplies the kinetic energy of a punch, and break's Newton's third law, (the effect of a punch is only multiplied to those hit). It only applies to living beings and when the intent to harm is present. Punching a door does nothing, but punching someone in armor is fair game. (I don't know about stuff like cars or tanks though. I want to say it works because punching a tank apart would be dope, but it's kinda stretching it.) The effect will always be something more like a cone than an explosion, to prevent Durga from just immediately blowing her own arm off when punching with decent force, though when it gets pretty extreme she has to be careful.

Does that sound fair?

If you're wondering, the best plan I have to avoid insta-dying on my first day is to either hide in my super secret broom closet, or pop in and out of pictures around the world because Blink can do that for some reason.

Now you might think 3 Second Triggers is overboard, well I think it'll be harder for you to voice that opinion of yours when I slap you in the lungs (until someone mindfucks me out of my powers or something.)

But other than that, I plan to poke the evil intentions out of all your dastardly kidneys, in ALL of my naked glory. Maybe I'll teach some kids how to be cool like this silly bitch right here

I should probably find someone smart and good with computers and stuff so I can, you know, survive for more than a week.

(God I hope I didn't fuck up my points T-T)

>>53330257
Would you like to buy some life insurance? The Protectorate offers reasonable rates.

>>53330257
Close but no cigar. Your maths is fine, but there's no abaddon shards and no drop ins. Also with three STs and 10 points of powers you have 19 points worth of powers which is over the limit set out at the start of the thread.

Steve Johnson
Once, I was a man, a small, fragile little thing, destined to die of disease, or age, or violence, or all the million other little things organics are vulnerable to. Now, I am a machine, free of the weakness of flesh. You too can be raised to such a state. For a price.

Scenario-Golden Age (10, 20)
I was one of the first tinkers to appear. At the time, as my vision swam with images of ways to replace my fragile shell of a body, I thought I had gone mad.
Path-Rogue
All those silly villains, trying to get rich through theft! Don't get me wrong, they make excellent customers, but couldn't they go into business or something?
Insert-Male Senior
I was quite old at the time when I first gained this gift. Had I not abandoned my shell, I would be dead by now.
Identity-CEO
Isn't money great? This company, PENTEX, is my little baby. Yeah, Congress keeps trying to regulate it out of existence, but that's what lobbyists are for, right? Besides, who can say no to immortality?
Skills
Strategy (5, 20)
I'd say I'm pretty decent at long term planning and such. Wouldn't have gotten this far if I wasn't.
Hacking (4, 20)
I mean, I am a computer. Although most of the time, putting in P@ssword is all it takes.
Tactics (0, 20)
Sometimes, some hot shot screaming about "corruption" or something will try to use his fancy new powers to disrupt my company. Can't have that, now can we?
Besides, sending out HiTmarks^TM
Natural Trigger (3, 20)
I remember my trigger event. I was at the hospital, and my doctor came in, claiming that I had pancreatic cancer. I've gotten a whole lot better though.
Identity Reveal (6, 20)
Didn't really care about the whole "secret identity" thing.
Blindspot (3, 16)
Someone once told me that all those fancy precogs couldn't see what my company was up to. Good for me, I guess?
Nemesis (6,16)
There's some eco terrorist bitch who hates civilization, and me in particular. Something something "unnatural abomination."

>>53330689
It doesn't - ur copies still get 10 SP of their own. However, looking at Stand as a power for 7 points I feel all the copies should have the same powers, ie you pick them during character creation and all the copies have those powers. Otherwise its kingmaker but cheaper.

>>53330824
Tactics
Sometimes, some hot shot screaming about "corruption" or something will try to use his fancy new powers to disrupt my company. Can't have that, now can we?
Besides, sending out HiTmarks^TM against Endbringers is good PR. (sorry, I'm on a laptop)
Rough Start (8,20)
Yes, I have tons of money, but the PRT is on me, trying to label me as a villain or something. How am I supposed to tell that a bald guy with weird tattoos is a gang member? And what do you mean I can't give money to politicians for favors? That's what everyone else is doing!
Powers:
Augmentation, Second Trigger (4, 8)
Definitely my favorite part about my power. I really wish I could give this to more people, but this stuff is complicated, and my R&D team has trouble converting it from tinkertech to normal tech.
Robotics (4, 1)
Now this is what the majority of my sales come from. Everything from small helper bots to battle mechs. Sure, they break down, and yeah, Congress keeps trying to ban them (thank you NRA), but there's always the black market.
I keep the best for myself of course. Nice to have a physical body to myself, just in case some villain or vigilante or rival company want to get some undeserved discounts.

Path
Thriving Business (1,1)
Everyone knows who I am, and that I have the best equipment for sale. Unfortunately, all those other rogues are jealous of me, the PRT is pulling lawsuits out of their wherever in a blatant attempt at recruitment, and most of my employees have left in fear of being attacked by the eco bitch.
All in all, life is pretty good.

>>53331111

Don't know if I did this right. Anyway, too tired to write up my idea in any detail:

Guy had a bad day. Guy had a really bad day, and it was all due to those pesky villains.
Now he's really pissed, and he's out for blood.
Walls or doors can't stop him.
He doesn't run out of ammo.
Somehow he's aiming at every target at once.
No one can record him, and security systems are useless.
Powers? He knows if you have them, he knows what they are. He knows.
His guns are as infinite as his ammo, he keeps taking them out of nowhere.
And his ass is full of gadgets, it's like he can mix gunpowder with a pack of chem fluids and out comes an explosive bullet.

Also, here is the Nemesis. I was a bit lazy with her, as the specific build doesn't matter as much as her power and methods. The main idea here is that her shard "encourages" her to get into fights with "polluters" by making her think that she can feel the pain of the ecosystem. Feel free to expand on the idea.

Skills: Survival, Stealth, First Aid, Tactics, Parkour.
Perks: Noctis Cape. Voice in Head.
Flaws: Case 53 x 2. Woody body with leaves in certain places. Pointed ears.

Every hour of every waking moment I can feel it. The pain of the earth and her children, as they are choked on by smog, burnt with fire, blasted with lasers and missiles and powers. I can't go to sleep, and I can't forget their cries. So I have to stop them. Who else will?
The government won't. They're too busy getting bribed and selling away their humanity for shiny new parts by that, thing, that runs Pentex. Sure, the PRT is "investigating" him and his "business," but I know how that will end.

The PRT won't. They have their precious "public image" to worry about. Can't put those criminals where they belong, that'll be too harsh! So what if all the little people are preyed upon, and the environment gets blown apart? As long as the boat isn't rocked too hard, you can get away with pretty much anything.

Well no more I say. Me and my good friends, both little and big, have something to say to these soulless machines and politicians and crime lords. Something I'm sure they won't forget for the rest of their lives, however short they may be.

Hello.

You appear to be an independent Vigilante. Statistics show that the majority of independents end up dead or severely maimed within the first six months of operations.

This is where PENTEX steps in. We have the technology to rebuild you in case something goes wrong. Our health insurance plan costs 800 dollars a month, and offers cyborgization in the event of severe injury that modern medicine cannot cover, with free repairs for a year.

Other offers include:
A secondary pair of arms, suitable for using two guns at once.
A scout drone connected to the brain for constant updates on its surroundings.
A sub-dermal layer of armor, capable of absorbing rounds up to .50 caliber.

Backstory-
Moth(wo)man is a hero who is seen as mysteroius, monsterous, and downright frightening. She was originally a schoolteacher whose powers (and mutation) were triggered duringa nearby villain attack. Her muttion was so severe that she was seen as a monster and had to give up her civilian life, however, she did have the support of her friends and family and dedicated herself to the life of heroism.

If Tattletale is to be believed, I was never human. I seem to recall people, names, faces and such, but given my insights, it might just be memories of a possible world rather than the one I'm in now.

For the moment, it's enough that I have something to do. Things have been interesting since I woke up; sure I could thrash about, hurl city blocks around and tear people apart, but there's no Challenge in it, no worthy confrontation.

So I take their side. Take their shape, their forms, their language, their flag; all of it. I walk among them, offering insights, giving little pushes into possibilities that will lead to the greatest calamity. Best of all, my siblings consider me a threat, and act accordingly; this city will crumble from within and draw out the most powerful among its denizens, or from without and yield the same results.

>Humanoid Form, ~2 meters.
The layers are all there, but most of Me is around what looks like me. Outwardly stretching is a weird experience in four dimensions. Still, I try not to use much of anything overtly; can't have anyone catch me bypassing the Manton Effect as they call it. They think me a Thinker, with a slight hint short-range teleportation via moving briefly through hyper-accelerated time-frames. After that, just a little nudge to their aggression, their insecurities and their zeal...

This is going to be amazing to watch unfold, with the perfect desert of striking down the ones that survive for myself.

It seems like two of our Endbringers have taken the All at once Flaw, and combined it with sibling rivalry. Does this mean Metropolis has to fight off 20 Godzillas at once? And I don't think its realistic for law, order, and civilization to exist when there are 20 Endbringers.

Durga has been called, rather unkindly but not inaccurately, Cauldron's attack dog. Born in abject poverty, her parents died when she was very young and she was largely left to fend for herself in the streets. Starving and sickly, she was one of those abducted by Cauldron in the creation of the Case 53s while she was in her early teens. Ironically, the trauma of being abducted to what may as well have been an alien spaceship ended up causing her actual trigger event. Training and raising her from then on, she grew to develop a deep respect for what the Cauldron was trying to accomplish and entirely forgave them for the event. She harbors a deep and abiding antipathy for the apparently fumbling idiot gods that threaten all of reality. Trained to be a lethal weapon, a tool to precisely remove threats, she's terminated both villains and heroes on Doctor Mother's orders. She's not quiet or discreet about what she does, she's a high powered sniper rifle from a rooftop rather than a blade in the night. As such, her name, or at least her MO, has circulated among the parahuman community for some time. Most assume she's some sort of well funded vigilante with her own agenda, but those in the know recognize the bloody smears she leaves behind as Cauldron's work.

She spends most of her time in a hidden safe house in Brockton Bay, living a comfortable enough life on a Cauldron allowance. While taciturn and even fearsome while on the job, she's surprisingly mellow when on her off time or interacting with her superiors. She has a solemn, almost wistful or absent personality and tends to come across as a hazy dreamer. In reality, it's simply a thin covering over her iron hard beliefs and disturbing ability to kill without remorse.

I'll be honest, I'm currently learning everything about Worm through the fan wiki because I've never read the story. Pardon any lore discrepancies.

>>53332808

>Endbringer
It has been seen with state-of-the-art camera and telescopic technology; distant, mobile, but deadly in application of its strange talents.

It was first spotted by various space agencies, and though its presence was hushed at first, Amateur astronomy soon put an end to the secrecy as the strange shapes on the moon began to appear and tell of the dangers to come.

The Endbringer's true nature is still unknown, but it is safe to assume that it is some variety of Tinker.

Given the destruction of several major cities since it began its work, it is also safe to assume that it is a very capable entity in its field.

Attempts to bombard it with conventional weaponry, and even WMD's have fallen short; missile arsenals have been met with point-defenses and while some of the entity's efforts were set back, the more successful defenses have been Actual Defenses rather than good offenses; the massive projectiles launched by Luna's creations can be deflected with sufficient force or causal disruption.

Where they are Not re-directed...the result is not atomic in nature, but deadly none the less in massive areas.

The CYOA makes the setting a little more palatable I think for two reasons. One being that you operate through the eyes of your own OCdonutsteel and not what I gather is a temperamental and equally Sue-ish teenage girl, and because it presents a lot of the more interesting information in a really concise and well formatted way.

It's almost like an extended introduction for the story.

Info:
Before he was the "Eviscerator", he was just an ordinary high school student named Emilio. He was the type of kid who was smart but never tried or applied himself. Emilio grew up lower class near the docks and got into a lot of fights as a child. His powers were triggered by a villain attack that left him maimed. He was able to repair himself by creating prosthetic augments out of a pile of scrap metal he found. Through the use of his skill in genetics he is able to synthesize drugs that furthermore enhance his abilities. He dons a 'cyborg ninja' costume inspired by a character in the Chinese cartoons that he watched as a child.

I've got a question about the new Worm CYOA. If I do drop-in and am mtf trans, how does that affect Cosmetic Shapeshift level 1? Do I look how I'd like to look, with no change to my primary sex organs? Because of the "permanent" effects of the power, will I not need hormone therapy anymore?

Vandal and his gang are a recent addition to the Brockton Bay underworld but are already making waves. Vandal possess the ability to upgrade virtually anything he comes into contact with, both organic and inorganic. While the upgrades are often crude looking (in the case of the upgrades to people or animals, they universally come out looking monstrous regardless of the actual improvements made) they are often shockingly effective. Blunt, rude, but oddly charismatic and competent, Vandal has become a natural leader for his band of miscreants. While he operates as an arms dealer of sorts and has committed more than his fair share of violent crimes, the Savages is more than just a criminal enterprise to Vandal. It's a brotherhood, a band of outcasts and vagrants who just want to finally get their piece of the pie, by any means necessary.

He's from Boku No Hero Academia.

His power is intangibility, and when he deactivates it while he's in something he gets instantly ejected out of it before rematerializing.

He uses this to phase through the floor and instantly pop back up behind people, basically just teleporting all over the place.

Bio:
>Luna Rune seemed like a simple, background character, one that would be swept up in any disaster that hit her city. However, unknown to others, she had awoken from a combination of stress, anger and general annoyance at everyone around her at work. Early on, she was able to keep the effects of her powers from showing, but soon enough, her mental state took a turn for the worse. Massive amounts of stress and a talking shard slowly drove Luna to the edge of insanity. Her official reveal to the general public was a gruesome one as she quickly reduced each of her coworkers to pulp one weekday morning. After that event, she quickly went into hiding, not to be seen for quite a long period of time.

When Luna appeared next, she was completely different. Extensive use of her powers have caused most, if not all, of her emotions to fade away, leaving nothing but cold logic in it's place. This seemed to explain her appearance, being more machine then human. Luna, or Magnum Opus as she called herself, continued to appear every so often around the world, conducting raids and attacks on storage facilities containing rare and valuable resources. Surprisingly, these raids lacked the death of her first exposure, attributed to the fact that killing these grunt civilians was "inefficient" in hey eyes.

Eventually, Magnum Opus was confronted by a group of younger heroes in one of her raids. The storage location was quickly reduced to rubble as Magnum Opus was basically a "living weapons platform". However, after a grueling fight, the heroes seemed to finally have pushed Magnum Opus into a corner and were on the brink of victory. That's when the world got their first glimpse at what Magnum Opus was doing during her
time out of the spotlight. Opening multiple portals, mechanical arms appeared, replacing Magnum Opus's exhausted and destroyed armor and weapons pieces, even seemingly switching up her entire load out and specialty in mere seconds.

Eugen Fischer... a mad scientist even before his bargain with Cauldron, he was an off-the-books researcher for the United States military for decades, doing unethical studies unsuitable for public scrutiny. After his government project was shut down, he was stripped of his lab and unceremoniously forced to retire. Embittered but seeing no way to continue his work, he grew increasingly resentful at the Powers That Be - until Cauldron contacted him and revealed themselves to be the true Powers.

Given powers in exchange for loyalty, Manticore plays with life itself for Cauldron. He can even assimilate traits from lifeforms he has created; this allows his body to reveal the inner monster he always was.

Its a bit unclear. Is the small arms power a second trigger, or the augmentation?

>>53334082
The fight that followed was brutal as what hope could a group of young, exhausted, naive teenagers do against a fresh villain that had shown abilities never recorded to be in her profile? Later reports of Magnum Opus record vastly different weaponry, ranging from incredibly devastating rail guns to plasma armaments to seeker missile to close range ion cannons.

>>53334116
Small Arms is the augmented one. Cant be all machine now can we? Have to just settle for a mostly machine android devoid of human emotions.

>>53334055
>>53334082

Right, I haven't addressed the whole gang thing.
>Magnum Opus operates mostly alone due to it being hard to get along with her almost emotionless personality. However she has been rarely seen cooperating with other villains when they seem to share a common goal.

Remarks

>>53334082
>Her official reveal to the general public was a gruesome one as she quickly reduced each of her coworkers to pulp one weekday morning
Yeah, that's a violation of the Unwritten Rules at best, a Kill Order at worst.

>>53334289
As it is, I think that's fine. The Unwritten Rules say no widespread killing of civilians. So no bombing a city or shooting up a mall. One offs or small groups is fine. If it wasn't, what would make villains villainous?

>>53334350
It will still send you to the Birdcage. Look at Lung: he killed people, so the PRT sent him to the Birdcage when they caught him. Also Canary.
>what would make villains villainous?
Robbery, assault, drug trade, etc. all get you prison time, but you can still easily break out.

>>53334387
I don't understand, basically all regular crime is wrapped up with murder. Drugs, prostitution, black market goods. It all involves not just hurting people, but killing them. It seems like most criminal organizations have parahumans at the top of the pile, so has murder as a conventional crime actually pretty much disappeared?

Tinker's Bane is the Protectorate's answer to villainous tinkers that go overboard in the destructive use of their powers. His abilities to control and disable tinkertech at a long distance make it almost trivial to remove enemy tinkers from play. Combined with the power to posses inanimate objects, including electronics, and travel through electronic connections, TB can appear at almost any location at a moments notice to counter the latest nano-plague or tech-augmented parahuman.

Logical argument: attempting to rob, sabotage, or interfere with PENTEX operations will be met with a corresponding level of force.

>>53334568
I mean, if the defense force is overkill, I don't think Magnum Opus would even bother attempting a raid as it just won't be profitable.

Widely acknowledged as - and believed to be - a simple if incredibly skilled hacker, master at leaving no tracks and being seemingly untraceable, Machina's agenda is a complete mystery, her actions seeming random and unrelated, even to those who attempt to gain any foresight on her plans through more-than-ordinary means.
Still, there is no doubt that she is a dangerous individual - being reported to have broken into the systems of banks and stock exchanges, military and government agencies, as well as being involved in blackmailing several powerful figures all across the globe.

Among the few known facts about her are her nickname - Ex Machina - and her avatar, being that of a girl that seems to be partially cybernetic, as can be attested by any who has been on the receiving end of her actions. What is less known is that a lucky, powerful, chosen few seem to be able to randomly stumble upon very specific and uncanny websites, looking like a very simple chat room, where one may contact or be contacted by Ex Machina.
To those, she offers nothing but fair trades – information for favors.

>>53334781
Being aware that her living body and old life had been forfeit for once and for all, Machina chose to leave behind everything she once was, and to fully embrace what she had become.
Her only companion is perhaps the one thing from her past life she could not leave behind – the one who she saved through her sacrifice, but who she sadly could not prevent from being cursed with powers much akin to her own.

Choosing not to abandon that person - or perhaps not wanting to risk bearing any more regrets - Machina took the girl under her wing, as her protégée.
Ghost, as she calls herself when donning her tinkertech power armor, is a loyal friend to Machina, never being able to forget how she was saved from certain death by the automaton which rose out from under the piles of scrap metal that day.

She serves Machina mainly by tending to her base of operations, acting as her proxy in the material world, repairing and upgrading her automatons, while building new defenses and tech that may aid the machines when “the time comes” (in Machina’s words).

While Ghost would not have hesitated to give up on her old life, Machina demanded that she continued to lead her civilian life as she always did, and only came to her aid when the circumstances allowed. For those times when Ghost is not present, Machina possesses a state-of-the-art android body which inhabits to affect the physical world.

>>53334792
Damn, I ate two paragraphs. These two are meant to come before the ones in the quoted post:

"Despite her “public figure”, Ex Machina, or just Machina, is but one of the many who paid a dear price for the power granted to them by the shards. The trigger for her powers were the many events of the day when she lost everything that connected her to her previous life, a day she wish she could forget, but was, alas, cursed with being able to remember every single second in vivid detail.

Suffice to say that the price she ended paying was nothing less than her own body - she is now nothing but data, strings and codes, information stored on a vast network of machines. Never again will she know the feeling of a light breeze on her skin, the heat of summer or the cold of winter, the fatigue of exercise or the peace of sleep. "

The fact that all of our villains are tinkers is... concerning.

I'll rectify it in the morning.

Everybody wants to know something. When their curiosity gets the better of them, they turn to Delphi Solutions LLC. A mysterious organization accessible only via a webpage, Delphi can find out anything for you... assuming you have the money. Worried your lover might be cheating on you? Delphi can deliver you a dump of the last 9 months of their emails and text messages. Vigilante looking for a villain's hideout? Delphi can point the way. Up and coming supervillain in need of an edge over the local heroes? Delphi can find their Achilles' heel. With an unbroken string of satisfied clients, all of Delphi's information is fully guaranteed accurate and up to date. We will answer all your questions or your money back.

Behind the facade, Delphi is actually just a 15 year old girl with intense agoraphobia, parents who are out of the house 18 hours a day, and a suite of super powers that allow her to replicate the work of scores of private investigators and hackers all by herself. After her first few jobs she was easily able to afford renting out a basement studio across the street from her house and proceeded to fill it with an array of custom-built computers. Being able to operate dozens of computers at the speed of thought (and Delphi thinks faster than just about anyone nowadays) plus not really needing to sleep anymore means that she can bring in tens of thousands of dollars per day selling secrets to desperate people all over the world while never leaving her bedroom.

>>53335178
(I should perhaps note that this entire build is predicated around being able to use the internet via computers operated by Technopathy. If that's not kosher then I'll need to rethink things a lot.)

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth Worst Day Ever x3 to get Blind Spot. We do have a precog Endbringer...

Although some think she's an overachiever, Lizzie is actually kind of relieved to be a Ward. It means getting away from her parents and their unreasonably high standards for their smarter-than-average daughter who really just wants to fix up old cars and run around the city rooftops like a maniac. Not having to learn all the things anymore is nice... well, her parents made her learn martial arts for her own safety, but that's okay. It's a practical skill!

Bit of a grab-bag hero, Medic is a first-response support character on a battlefield, lending first aid where applicable, and using his abilities to locate and reach those in trouble. While able to put up a fight, he knows when he is outgunned and will call in for support as necessary.

He considers Back Up an immense load off his back knowing even if he screws up there's someone there to help those who he could not aid, but it also pushes him to do his best that people didn't end up in that bad of a shape unless it couldn't be helped.

I didn't really want to make followers anyway, but that takes away the one perk Heroes had over the other paths. I mean, I mostly just took it because I wanted to be a hero, but it seems a little unfair for there to be a power disparity, don't you think?

Costume: Thematic
Natural trigger
Skills: Martial arts, First aid, Stealth

Perks: 2nd trigger, Power slot x2

Powers: Shock and awe, Blink, Vampirism ST,

Gift: Interludes
Group: Merchants

A dock worker who lost his job and his place in society thanks to leviathan shenanigans destroying all sea ports over the world.

Joining the merchants was a act of desperation, even something hateful like selling drugs for kids can be overlooked if you are hungry and desperate enough.

His trigger came when the E88 made the choice to cleanse the city of the merchants, even if the man himself despised their drug trade, the merchants were still all he had, watching E88 kill the few genuine friends he had in the gang drove him beyond his limits, and there he found the power to fight back.

Getting powers changed his standing in the merchants, he was no longer just another disposable worker, he was a "cape", he was "Mad void", someone who could fight on equal terms with all the other heroes and villains of the city, it also meant that he had a voice in the gang, a voice that could actually be heard by the leader, a voice that he could use to convince the old man to take the gang to war and take new territory, to make the merchants a name to be respected and not just a total joke, for Mad void knew the city did not belong in the hands of the ABB or E88, it belonged to him and his merchants, and they would take it, together.

Tried creating a villain for that could actually help the Merchants get some respect, kinda wanted to make him the leader so I could get rid of the drug trade for kids, but that would be somewhat mary sue territory.

>>53336332

You bet! We are going to kick all the ass. All of it. You hit 'em from afar, and I will smack them with a stick. Turns out an indestructible bo staff is a pretty awesome thing to hit people with.

>>53336685
Thanks for the welcome! Aw jeez, sorry, Johnson's build completely flew under my radar, didn't notice someone else had went that route.
If I have another idea I'll post something else, for I don't like to copycat stuff. And here I was feeling smart for pulling a SOMA, because Ghost is the human Machina, the consciousness left behind, but she doesn't know that since traumatic data transfer-induced amnesia.

>>53336923
That's cool, just fluff your powers as being different to his. There's a lot of overlap between the tinkers anyway.

I've got a pastebin set up with descriptions of everyone who's in the thread so far. We've got good numbers on heroes and wards, have all 3 Endbringers and have a decent number of conspirators and rogues. We just need a few more villains it looks like. Sorry for the issues, I've never used passtebin before and im learning as I go.

Link is a bit of a prick at times, a motor-mouth that never seems to shut up. He managed to get fired from his job for his bad jokes and temper, and has on occasion ran into some cringe worthy trouble, though managing to pull through in the end though more often than not owing a few favors to people for it.

He's triggered with the natural ability with working with small things, which disappoints him partly because he wishes he had a chance to craft a very cool tinker gun. Instead, he goes around with a regular gun along with a stun-gun, and a couple of ready packages of nanomachines to put to use.

Why bother learning to investigate when you can sprinkle the area with little bots to scan it all up for the real thinkers to whimper about over coffee?

Yeah, he's not exactly the prime quality for a hero really, but for some reason he's got a following for his positively ridiculous boasting and tooting his own horn.

(I'd imagine followers that are heroes don't actually get their own followers)

Arrest is a bit of a quiet guy. He prefers to go unnoticed but he keeps observant of others, and if he sees a situation is about to escalate too far, he tends to interfere quickly.

His power reflects this, being able to paralyze someone to stop things before they can get worse is something he considers handy, but he's quite aware of its limits. His ability to cloak and recon places from the air helps him work with his team mates, though he tends to prefer not taking any credit if he can avoid it.

>Civilian Life
Affected by Void's unmasking due to his proximity and relationship to her in highschool, causing some undesirable, unspoken rule-breaking rumors. Making civilian life a little difficult to maintain, especially with villains' henchmen attempting to kidnap and use you as a bargaining chip to get Void under their thumb. (Thankfully nothing too serious, to require use of powers)

Null is still able to, precariously, live a civilian live. And does so only to gain an upper hand in his and Void's cape lives. Having a civilian identity can be very useful for activities which require interacting with people.

>Powers
Null takes down villains brutally with life rounds to non-lethal areas of the body and their own weaponry, using Shroedinger and Glimpse in conjunction to make needle perfect precision on targets and ensure no deaths. He plays off his powers as 'merely' the ability to shoot extremely accurately, trying to hide as much valuable information as possible. Restricting his use of his copycat ability to times of extreme danger, or if he can safely get away with it.
Being in close proximity to the blindspot, Void, extends her protection to him.

She immediately went into hiding, so as to not show her capabilities and protect Null in his civilian identity from any serious kidnapping attempts to influence her into joining a gang, her power would be extremely valuable to any truly despicable villains wanting her to discover secretly the civilian identities of capes.

>Powers
With the power to essentially become non-existent, both to vision and precognitive power, she primarily aids her companion Null, keeping herself invisible and intangible to scout out dangers, and provide intelligence gathering, scouting, and other battlefield aid, with the use of tinker tech and black market bought equipment.
She keeps in close proximity to him, prepared to provide unseen aid in the even he is unable to protect himself, and make use of her copycatted No-Clip power, if truly in danger.

My trigger event happened when I got into a car accident with my family. I saw my parents and brother were in bad shape and wished I could do something to help them before I blacked out.

Second trigger was soon after when I woke up in the hospital and realised they were all dead. My aunt's family took me in but they don't really care all that much...

Please tell me if I did something wrong.

>>53336721
Well, since you can only use 15 points, the villain ability doesn't matter either. It's only natural that being a hero or villain is harder than being a rogue or endbringer - you are putting yourself up front, anyways.

>>53338671
I'm going to be real smart and make money by renting powers through PHO. I guess the power granting thing should work through line of sight? If so it's pretty easy to set up a safe way to do it, I ask for a way to identify them and tell them to go to a given place where there will be many other people so I can empower them without risking to be identified. They can then pay me by transfering money to some account I have. The price depends on the strength of powers and rental time.

>>53338898
Did you actually read the OP you linked?

>>53338949
Sorry been up since Last Night, thought it was the same from the cyoa thread. I'll re-edit it quickly.

>>53339032
Your build is interesting though, you should post it somewhere more relevant.

Avery White knows that something big is going down. The problem is, whenever she goes out to investigate, something else pops up somewhere else. If only there was a way for her to be in two places at the same time. Why, then she would be able to infiltrate the lower levels of multiple organizations while still keeping her day job.
Hmmmm... a direct feed like that would useful.

Pic Related for my Case 53 mutations. I'd be a merc with Faultline for the pay and also using Shard Works EX+Power Sight to gain new powers plus use my tactical leadership to become the best lieutenant in the group. Using Barrier+Mountain to stand around like an idiot watching people use their powers seems stupid but considering my appearance it allows for better roleplay as I have an aloof look while watching the scene. Barrier being a backup in case of shit going cross eyed for the team.

I got together with Faultline's crew after I triggered and became this eldritch abomination. My trigger event would be that everyone wanted to be a hero and I wanted to be seen exactly like them. When a villain/hero scuffle nearly claimed my life and soon the lives of a few civilians from collateral damage, I triggered as I wanted to be the hero I thought they truly were. My body shifted into eldritch horror mode because what is "seen" as a hero to some is a monster to others in a fit of poetic irony but it gave me "sight" powers so I can emulate those I once looked up to. Waking up I'm greeted to several people wounded and the villan and hero nodding each other off like nothing happened. The survivors start screaming at my appearance and throw bricks and stuff at me because they think I'm with the villain and I run away angry and confused.

Faultline finds me feeling sorry for myself in the gutter and offers me a job to test out my knowhow and powers. Didn't trust her at first but being disillusioned I gave it a chance.

Since pretty much everyone seems to be a Blindspot, how big of a radius should they block Save and Reload for?

>>53339364

Rebuild because the old one didn't work for the setting but because of my Numbed Emotions, appearance, and increasing power level people would be looking at me funny for a lot of reasons. One of the recurring problems would be that people constantly think I'm some form of Endbringer-lite abomination and everytime I use my powers, especially in self defense, the more I retreat and turtle into myself. This is why I got the Barrier/Mountain powers as it offers a somewhat safe but unhealthy reprise from the constant attacks on my being. I'd think my shard would be called "Warden" as it was made to turn it's host into a powerful but emotionless husk of a person that watches/catalogs the powers and their usage of other Parahumans for the next cycle. It constantly pushes me into conflict so it can record more powers, how the host uses them, and to slowly erode my emotions so I can become an apathetic but effective tool for the next cycle.

Bio:
Remember when Lung fought off Leviathan that one time? He also burned down half the city. Rosemary triggered in the basement of her father's church, scared out of her mind and praying the whole time. A lover, not a fighter, Rose is making a name for herself putting out fires with her power and providing support for more combat oriented heros. Near useless against common criminals she shines in Cape fights, acting as a force multiplier.

She dreads her first Endbringer fight knowing she'll be expected to stand beside the greatest of the greats and provide assistance, putting her 100 meters in harm's way. She keeps her ability to see identify other people's powers on the DL, fearing accidentally breaking the Unwritten Rules. She's embraced her abilities with fire, finding joy in shaping it to artistic ends.

Rosemary is still unsure of how to think of her powers in light of her faith, but has found a mentor in Escalation, an older Sikh cape specializing in genetic manipulation and swordfighting. She maintains a lively (though censored) letter-writing conversation with her father and has formed a deep friendship with her more outgoing teammate Sleet, a weather and ice manipulator.

Having so many blind spots is a bit silly imo.

>>53329076

I should have linked this >>53339517 to the CYOA.

>>53339502
I don't think there's really a radius, more that that person is him/herself a blindspot.
Maybe if you interact with a blindspot cape if they are anywhere in your line of sight you are forceably shunted back to your first save.

Save and Reload is a kinda confusing power for me, there's alot of guess work to this CYOA.

I think the best way to go about this is for the cape having Save and Reload to forget all about the people having Blind Spot when they load.

I always leave a red rose when I strike and that's why the Heroes gave me that name.

>Nathan Rune had always got into trouble as a child and that knack followed him into his early adult life. Getting into fights with others just seemed to be a regular part of Nathan's life. So when he awoke as a parahuman, no one in his, albeit very small, inner circle of firends were surprised that the most violent person they knew had attracted a shard that wanted nothing but conflict. What people didn't expect was the stupid name he chose for himself, and a costume that seemed far out of place. A cowboy outfit with red highlights doesn't fit with the name phoenix at all. He countered that he was a phoenix because he would always return to the fight and rise to meet any challenge. His friends, knowing better then to encourage him, just let him work with his stupid antics.

>Nathan, or Arsenal Phoenix as he licked to call himself now, began as a general good guy, protecting civilians and non-combatants from the destruction between fellow parahumans. However, that phase was short lived, as soon his ethics and attitude brought him into conflict with other heroes, which ended up with him being ostracized. Betrayal and anger were felt, but by far the strongest emotion Aresenal Phoenis experianced that day was excitement, the chance at engaging in combat with worthy foes. Being a natural conflict seeking individual, the shard had seemed to amplify that part of him.

>Arsenal Phoenix is quite an interesting villain to say the least. He attacks fairly frequently, performing anything from storage facility raids to general terrorizing of the public. These bizare, seemingly isolated acts have caused much debate over what goal Arsenal Phoenix might have, but that general consensus is that he is simply looking to fight other parahumans for "fun".

>>53341148
>>53341165

>Not part of any major gang, Arsenal seems to go at others by himself as he likes that "challenge". But let us be real here, the reason why he isn't a part of any gang is probably due more to his attitude and personality then anything else.

>Arsenal Phoenix isn't as dangerous as other villains, when you consider that he seems to be nothing more then an attention seeker who likes to monologue. In fact, other heroes have mentioned he likes to yell the name's of his attacks, which besides being stupid, is completely unneeded since all he does is use fire arms. He has been observed wielding high tech weapons, that are surprisingly still
within the realm of possibility and creating portals to access other weapons, ammunition and supplies. Another thing worth mentioning is Arsenal's uncanny ability to survive his fights. He has been seen taking extreme physical damage from brutes and blaster, but seems to be able to walk away from them as soon as the dust is settled.

Just wanted to try my hand at making a more chaotic character, and who could ever resist not picking banter?

And like that my character concept is up in smoke.

I wanted to be a Rogue with Shard Administration, named Faust. Sell powers to people without them, sell upgrades to existing powers.

>>53343049
With some clever flaw management, you could probably make it work. Drew up the basics for a retardedly stronk fire based villain with 42ish shards. You can make it work, if you're down with the entire world, including every cape, endbringer and S9 gunning for you, also freaky looking.

>>53343131
Not by the rules of the thread, you can ONLY spend 15 points on powers.

You can still be a rogue which RENTS powers to people with Kingmaker.

Nothing like suddenly taking away their power and demanding payment... with prejudice.

>>53344392
You can only hand out so many powers that way, not exactly a business that can be kept up.

I think that as long as you charged the right price for the powers, empowering 7 people at any given point should grant you huge loads of money, not mention requesting payment in form of tinkertech from your empowered tinkers.

Still, there are a few borderline illegal workarounds for that, if you want to be a pretty big business nonetheless:
A) Take two Followers, one who also has Kingmaker II, and have him grant you Unlimited Shard Works. The other Follower has Replication II. Then, use your clones to grant powers via Kingmaker.
B) Take Copycat as your other power, and a Follower with Replication II. Again, use the clones to empower people.
C) Take a Kingmaker follower, but he just grants you Mirror Image II, use images to empower people. Whether the powers would persist after the images vanished is anyone's guess.

Hey guys, OP again, updating a new pastebin with all the new characters.

If you want followers, that's fine, but I'm not going to keep track of them, there's already enough of you without them too T_T

I won't have my powers for the most part.
I had funded the development of the cosmic wheel with stock-holder's money and an anonymous donor that wanted to see the technology for summoning shards a reality. However, I knew it would never be mass produceable, the so called "proto-type" was going to be the full recipient of all funds. I had planned to escape these mortal bonds and rise as a goddess.
Naturally, it had to go wrong. When a regular highschooler, climbing the roof of my facility as part of some juvinile dare, ruins my plans like a spanner in a machine I have to track her down. The shard embedded into her, giving her some crude approximation of true power rightfully belongs to me.
A cat and mouse game begins, she can't prove my wrongdoings, at least not without exposing her true identity and I can't trace her true identity without exposing myself. What left is me orchestrating scheme after scheme of convoluted proxy warfare to find out who she is so I can capture her and squeeze out that foreign essence into a shard for my own selfish purposes. Sure, I'm spending other people's money and the procedure will probably leave the thing unstable. But you need to be willing to make a few sacrifices for godhood right?

>>53344738
Ah crepe, forgot that Shard Works is a Trump power. Scratch option A. The others persist, though.

>>53344706

So my character concept would work. Thanks.

Blink(7) + Shroedinger(5) + Razor Hand(2) + X-Ray vision(1, use power slot perk) so I can blink into an opponent from nearby buildings unnoticed, slice him upx10 times, and then quickly retreating into hiding. Repeat until he dies

Soo... could I buy Stand twice for two different stands? Or does that not work with the OP's rules?

I've been wondering what Exactly is a Perfect Mind capable of?
Greater intelligence, genius level, sure but what could they theoretically do? What about Genetic Tinkers, or Augmenters. Could you, with superhuman intelligence, replicate tinker tech via normal means? Because that's all tinker tech is - technology that's merely advanced beyond what humanity is yet capable of.

>>53346540
Uh, I guess? If you mean you want to be able to produce two different types of clones, go for it.

I'm new to this RP stuff I just like doing CYOAs for fun when I'm bored
pls no bully

Tinkert tech is, generally, *highly* advanced. A perfect mind could maybe make progress, but you'd have to devote yourself to classic scientific research, and I doubt you could make enough progress to replicate anything important. Realistically, you'd probably look more like canon Alexandria.

When are we gonna get back to IC talk ?
Also, how are we gonna handle fights between PCs ? Just text and see where it goes ?

I only spent 20 points or less on each persons powers which as a Conspirator I can do. The Conspirator says that cauldron vials you buy contain second trigger powers for free, and the rest I got from creative use of bodyswap and power exchange. I didn't break any of your rules as pointed out in the OP.

>>53348393
That's not actually part of the rule. the rule just states that you get 15 points to spend on powers and 20 if you're a conspirator with the rest being meaningless fluff.

>>53347950
>>53347950
The whole idea is to not make overly OP characters because that's not fun and if you act like a powergaming asshole you aren't invited to the secret club. Congratulations for cheating the barebones homebrew rules we threw on the CYOA, but c'mon man, don't be like that

>>53329191
I still wish there were a power to grow super huge.
Id totally go for other community approved dlc powers

>>53348617
It's not so much he cheated, as he found a loophole which is fair.
Hell that 15-point limit is ridiculous since one of the three available 'origins' starts you with 20. God knows that with 20 rather than 15 I could have perfected by build.

>>53348711
Perfected isn't really the intention though, and there's perks to use the other five for.

So what exactly do conspirators do to interact with other people? Given the nature of Cauldron being almost completely secret at the outset. >>53330056 Has a workaround by pretending to be just a regular hero, but the ones that aren't; what do you plan on doing exactly?

>>53348725
Bro I was going for a theme, and was incapable of doing that theme with 15 points on powers. I could have done it on 17 points, and 20 would have made it perfect. The fact we can only spend 15 on powers, second trigger included, when an origin offers 20 points is legitimate bullshit.

>>53348774
There is an argument to be made for twenty, but definitely not 25.

I guess bumping it up to 20 couldn't hurt that much, but I haven't gone through and looked for all the overpowered combos that are accessible at that tier but not at 15.

The main reason that conspirators get twenty instead of fifteen though is just so they can take the conspirator specific powers. So it could just be stipulated that it's only twenty if they're taking one of those but otherwise it's fifteen like every else.

I'm in favor of fifteen instead of twenty overall.

>>53348799
As an example I also have a build concept I really want to pull that's 20, based around combining a seven and a ten with the ten second triggered to make a character with a specific gimmick. But really want to be a Villain instead of a Conspirator. It seems poorly thought out to give one particular option more points and access to ridiculously broken powers when the other origin benefits are comparatively small (Villains especially get hit hard by the limit).

Kill yourself m8. I could clearly see why OP made it 15, as if he upped it even to fucking 16 I could have built a much stronger character than what I could with 15.

15 is perfectly balanced. I don't give a fuck about your theme. OP was right and I love him. I would suck his dick.

Everyone gets hit hard by the limit if you aren't Cauldron. Even then, the 15 point rule is only if you want to be counted as an 'official' character in the chat and pastebin, because we don't want a bunch of superman asshole power-grabs running around. That, and Cauldron having 20 points is because Cauldron in-universe is batshit OP in multiple levels. I feel like the only reason people don't like only having 15 points is because they haven't read the source material or just want to be better than other people.

>>53349090
I made a Cauldron build and only used 15 points, still came out pretty damn strong I think.

>We all take our Cauldron vials since we have no powers because of humble beginnings giving us free second triggers. Then I exchange Follower 2 and 3's powers to make Super Follower 2. Then I swap bodies Super Follower 2 and get all their powers. Then I get buffed by kingmaker.
what The fuck

>>53349090
It's just a standard CYOA thing. If you put in a large amount of options, people will try to maximize their purchases. Even in cyoas where it's supposed to be single player like jumpchain you see the same problem with people shitting on each other over perceived limitations.

>>53349073
Their one big benefit is extra points from drawbacks. By instituting the limit at the starting amount it removes a great deal of the benefit. Sure you can pick up the side perks that cost power points slightly more easily, but it removes the biggest advantage of their origin. All the people complaining about a low number of villains miss the fact that it's a fairly sub optimal choice for most builds.
>>53349090
I'm objecting because it's massively favoring one already strong option over the others. Fifteen is enough to build a decent Cape, but frankly I want 20 so I can make someone who has fun using Infection to get charges for a non-Second Triggered USW. I mean I could just go for the average Shard Works build of Second Triggering it to win everything forever but I want some interesting constraints and don't want to just sneak it in via followers.

Fluff
Trigger was being caught up as a bystander/victim of an all out gang fight with multiple capes (explaining the grab bag nature of the powers).
Got laid off from the docks the same day I got kicked out of my apartment due to both lack of rent and suspected drug use for the first part of drawback (none there, just a result of the off hours I kept plus the talking too myself thing). Used all my money getting the tinker tech, connections and gear to begin my crusade against the villains that destroyed my life/sanity with their fighting.
I can see capes, I don't sleep or take a day off with Immunity. I have a variety of powers, tools and skills to track down my targets. I can maintain my gear while using any tool or tinker gun.

Because I feel like all good enemies need a theme

Some Edits to the builds:
>Arsenal.Phoenix is Magnum.Opus' follower
--Opus gains an additional Rough Start
--Phoenix loses his gift
----They're twins, albeit not anymore considering one is basically a robot at this point.

So have any villains or non heroes made any followers up as loyal goons yet? Id like some examples.

>>53349204
>but it removes the biggest advantage of their origin.
How? They can easily have +5 powers at the same time, just because they are limited and cannot take Second Trigger perk if they want to be of any use, doesn't mean they are completely useless.

Just get a shitload of level 2 powers with one that costs 5 or some shit. come on niggers be creative.

>>53349254
That's the Vigilante Advantage, not the Villain.

I offer contracts to those who don't wish to go through the... trouble, of triggering naturally. I offer contracts to people, make sure they pay on time to keep my services. If they can't pay with cash, they can do some odd jobs, make sure the street stays clean. After all, If a hero has the powers I gave them, tons of people would want my services!
My parents weren't the best out there, but they worked hard to make sure I was safe and wasn't on the streets. They worked long hours, my dad was a dock worker and Ma was an insurance agent. Things were tough, but we pulled through. Until one day, that bastard came and killed my dad while he was on some rampage. By the time they caught him and sent him to the birdcage, my dad was ripped to shreds by that damn Brute... That's when it happened. I "Awoke"... Or, I triggered. Let me tell you, not needing to sleep anymore was pretty rad... Ma didn't think so. She was a wreck after dad died, drinking and slamming pills whenever she was home, which was much more often after she was fired. I tried helping whenever I could, do things around the house, be nice, but it was no use. One day, while walking home from school, I saw our house was burned to the ground. They never found my mother.
That was my second trigger
Currently, I'm raised by a foster family, some friends to the family. I doubt they even realize that the kid living feet away from them was selling powers to poor saps who were too rich to have problems. But hey, the cash was nothing to sneeze at.
(Does not know Cauldron exists)

>>53349246
Nah. Not sure what powers I want Dr.Wily's minions to have.

>>53349246
You can either fill them up with powers that compliment your own, deal with what you are weak against, or just have them take all the trump powers.

>>53349280
Are you retarded or something? Villains can easily get more power shards than Vigilantes can due to the flaw advantage. Use Power Slot perk to get more than 3 powers. Just work around low cost powers.

>>53349246
I was gonna make a couple for Vandal because that's kind of his schtick, but I didn't have time and just gave him mooks instead.

>>53349308
Vigilantes don't have to buy more power slots. Villains can use their advantage to be a shitty Vigilante, yay.

And they get less power shards than Villains. It evens out

>>53349380
No. It doesn't. Because you start with the max of 15 for actual powers with a single origin.

>>53349246
I didnt stat them, but I added them into the bio:

>Rosemary is still unsure of how to think of her powers in light of her faith, but has found a mentor in Escalation, an older Sikh cape specializing in genetic manipulation and swordfighting. She maintains a lively (though censored) letter-writing conversation with her father and has formed a deep friendship with her more outgoing teammate Sleet, a weather and ice manipulator.

>>53349351
And before someone argues that the bonus points to background make villains better than Vigilante I'd point out that Vigilantes get a relatively nice path specific mandatory drawback. Which means if a Vigilante goes ambiguous it requires a Villain to take four drawbacks to catch up points wise.

>People arguing about how 20 for everyone is overpowered
>Everyone ignoring you can buy Khepri and Door Me as Conspirator and be the strongest thing
