So ... Mutants & Masterminds?

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any meaningful way to inlcude his instruments in his powers.  It didn't make sense to have specific powers tied to specific instruments, so I adapted his ability to use multiple effects through a dynamic array.  That way, for example, The Argent Adept can sustain Inspiring Supertonic on his teammates, a rank-5 Counterpoint Bulwark around a group of civilians, and still fire off a rank 6 Sarabande of Destruction at flying saucer wreaking havoc on the city.  Therefore, his instruments are left to a storytelling and narrative effect.

[b]Conflicted:[/b] Anthony Drake was never an ambitious soul. He was a drifter and free-thinker, happy flipping bottles, chatting up strangers, and pocketing tips. When he found the ancient bell in that museum, he never questioned it. He had a grand destiny, and he embraced it wholeheartedly. Sometimes, though, after an encounter with some sanity-rending horror from the depths of the Realm of Discord, he starts to question his chosen path. He idly wonders if it would ever be possible to go back a simple, quiet life of pouring drinks and playing his pipes

[b]Enemy:[/b] Akash'Bhuta

[b]Motivation – Responsibility:[/b] The Virtuoso of the Void stands as a bastion of order against the forces of chaos that threaten civilization. He must be forever vigilant, as it is believed that his song is the structure that binds the multiverse together. Improvisational jazz is rarely a popular music form with the Virtuosos.

[b]Power Loss:[/b] The Argent Adept's power is based on order and structure and harmony, as embodied in the music he uses as a focus and channel for his power. However, if he is ever prevented from any kind of musical performance, being it singing, playing his pipes, or ringing a bell in rhythm with his actions, he cannot use his Symphony of Order.

[b]Structure and Discipline:[/b] It is no coincidence that the power of the Virtuoso is based on music. Music through the ages is based on purposeful meter and measure, and any who wishes to master the craft must be focused and disciplined, to take that core and shape it into something new. This focus on order, on bringing the music to life, is what gives the Virtuosos advantage over their chaotic foes. However, when dealing that isn't an embodiment of destruction, this focus on order and structure can actually hinder them, preventing them from being as adaptive or quick-thinking as others against more mundane threats.

[b][size=20]COMPLICATIONS[/size][/b]
[b]Cursed:[/b] Despite her intentions and actions, NightMist is saturated with the power of ancient things not meant to exist in her world. Her presence tends to set off senses attuned to threats, chaos, or dangerous magics, leading to false alarms and tense first impressions.

[b]Enemy:[/b] GloomWeaver

[b]Master of Magic:[/b] NightMist's explorations of her power, and the nature of her curse, has left her suffused with magic in a way few mortals could dream of. It is as omnipresent in her life as water or oxygen, and she cannot imagine a life without it. As a result, whenever confronted with a challenge, her first reactions are always magical solutions. It takes an effort of will and logic, and often prompting from an ally or teammate, to force her to consider alternate or more mundane solutions.

[b]Motivation – Doing Good:[/b] Her experience with magic makes Faye one of the few people in the Multiverse capable of going toe-to-toe with some of the more nightmarish entities out there. She refuses to believe that the curse infecting her defines her. Her training with her Master taught her that despite the origins of her power, guided by her will, it can be used to do right.

[b]Obsession:[/b] As NightMist has delved further into the eldritch secrets of the multiverse, she has yet to find much in the way of clues regarding the disappearance of her grandfather, Joe Diamond. The promise or potential of such evidence will often divert her from established plans to pursue leads that, often, turn out to be nothing but red herrings, or even a distraction planned by a foe.

[b]Secret:[/b] Despite her valuable expertise and unique abilities, NightMist is light-lipped about the origins of her abilities. She knows that such wrongness, no matter how it is used, would cast suspicion on her and possibly destroy the trust and camaraderie she's built with other heroes. Plus, the coven of witches that introduced her to magic is still out there, and they'd love to get their hands on the next best thing to a mortal avatar of their ancient alien gods.

[b]Weakness:[/b] Because of her cursed nature, Faye can act as a conduit of the very forces she wields. Magic and magical weapons with appropriate descriptors, such as “eldritch,” “elder,” or “infernal,” gain a +50% bonus to their save DC when used against NightMist.

Her Mist Form (under "Cursed by the MIsts") is designed so that any part of NightMist that is covered in shadow or darkness (the glow from her hair or eyes doesn't count as "light" for the purpose of overcoming this curse) automatically changes to mist.  Unfortunately, the wording of the traits and modifiers might not convey this accurately, so I hope this explanation helps.  Likewise, her near-complete lack of Parry and Toughness defenses are intentional; if NightMist gets into a fistfight, she's in trouble; same goes for any attack that gets through her Deflect power.

[b]Enemy:[/b] Plague Rat

[b]Motivation – Responsibility:[/b] Monsters will overrun the planet. Chrono-Ranger has seen it. He's made it his sole purpose to prevent that future from ever coming to pass.

[b]Obsession:[/b] Chrono-Ranger's pursuit of those things which will ruin the future has crossed a line. He doesn't realize it, but pursuit of his prey is no longer merely a mission. Any time he gets wind of anything resembling one of the monsters he saw in that Hellish wasteland, every other priority becomes secondary. He will hunt that monster to the ends of the Earth, and nothing will get in his way.

[b]Out of Time:[/b] Jim is from a past where the most common source of technology was his six-shooter. Everything about him, from his speech patterns, to his dress, to his fumbling discomfort with nearly any form of modern technology, makes him stand out in a crowd. He's slowly becoming more comfortable with more rudimentary aspects of modern life, but there is still a massive knowledge gap that is proving difficult to overcome. He often appears rude or gruff, but mostly, he's just trying to keep up.

[b]Weakness:[/b] While Jim's cybernetic arm is a perfectly functional replacement for the original and has more built-in nifty than he could have imagined beforehand, it comes with a few drawbacks. The first, minor drawback is its near-complete lack of a tactile sense. The second, more severe drawback directly from its hardwired connection to his central nervous system, the very feature which makes it such a perfect replacement. Any effect with an electricity-based descriptor (electrical, lightning, EMP, etc.) gets a 50% increase to its resist DCs when it affects Chrono-Ranger.

[b]Enemy:[/b] Omnitron

[b]Mechanical Being:[/b] As a robot, Omnitron-X is extremely susceptible to EMP effects. Such effects double their save DC against Omnitron-X.

[b]Motivation – Acceptance:[/b] With his new empathy subroutines, Omnitron-X feels the driving need to atone for the sins of his past selves and prove himself to those who would rightfully view him with suspicion.

[b]New to This Whole “Feelings” Thing:[/b] Omnitron-X has only recently begun to emulate emotions of any sort, and despite his vast processing power, is still having difficulty assimilating and reacting to his emotional emulation. Sometimes, in extremely complex personal interactions, he'll withdraw behind a facade of pure logic in order to cope, making him seem distant, cold, and, ironically, unfeeling.

[b]Self-Sabotage:[/b] Despite the incredible technology that powers him, as a machine, Omnitron-X is not as adaptable as a person. When he uses extra effort, in addition to suffering a fatigued condition, Omnitron-X suffers a -1 circumstance to resistance checks against damage (just as if he had failed a Toughness save by one degree).

[b]Smaller Form:[/b] Omnitron-X's newest form is an extremely compact fighting machine, but isn't nearly as resistant to damage as he is accustomed to. If he fails a total of six degrees of Toughness saves in a single round, his Adaptive Offensive Components go offline until he takes a full-round action and passes a DC 20 Technology check to recover and repair.

Wow, this guy was tough to build.  Trying to cram everything I thought he needed into the points budget?  Pretty much the reason behind making the Stone "removable."  However, I think he does what he's supposed to do, espectially coupling Deflect with Interpose.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get his elemental "forms" to work simultaneously given the restrictions of the system.  I suppose I could've used a dynamic array, but I have no idea where I'd pull the points from.  His Complications were a special challenge; I just couldn't think of interesting ones that I felt captured The Scholar.

[b][size=20]COMPLICATIONS[/size][/b]
[b]Eccentric:[/b] The Scholar's slovenly appearance and slacker mannerisms belie the wisdom and power at his disposal. Many villans, as well as fellow heroes, completely dismiss The Scholar the first time they encounter him, until they see him in the fullness of the power.

[b]Keeping It Copacetic:[/b] Despite his immense power and versatility, The Scholar lacks that most important of heroic traits: Motivation. He does involve himself, but rarely does he put effort into making the world a better place. Mostly, he hopes to maintain the status quo, only intervening when something threatens his comfort zone, which typically means he only throws down against world-altering (or -ending) threats.

[b]Secret:[/b] John goes to great lengths to hide the source of his power. He knows that should the reality of the Philosopher's Stone become common knowledge, there are many in the multiverse who would stop at nothing to possess it and pervert its power. He tries to cover it up under the guise of “run-of-the-mill” alchemy, and rarely lets anyone close, partly because of his lack of desire for close relationships, and partly to prevent knowledge of the Stone from spreading.

[chainsawrabbit]

A quick note on NPCs in Mutants & Masterminds: When designing NPCs, especially villains, the GM is encouraged to pick a power level and simply assign whatever traits they think are appropriate for the NPC. So, despite their (sometimes outrageous) point totals, all my villains will meet the criteria for their assigned Power Level.
With that out of the way…

All right everyone, hide your children and stock up on clean underwear:

COMPLICATIONS
Burnout: Using Merge With the Power of the Sun is an enormous strain on Dawn. When activated, it cannot be shut off prematurely. Once the power has completely faded, she must spend at least twelve hours soaking up direct sunlight, with minimal power use, before she can Merge again.
Control Freak: Because of her childhood spent at the hands of callous scientists who treated her like a lab rat, Citizen Dawn is obsessed with control over her life and surroundings. It’s the reason she organized her followers into themed pairs or trios, and she rules her followers with an iron fist with occasional velvet knuckle wrappings. Any attempt to alter her precious order or impose someone else’s order on her is met with extreme violence followed by extended paranoid ranting.
Enemy: Expatriette.
Hatred: Thanks to her childhood being consumed by laboratories and endless testing and brutal experiments, Citizen Dawn harbors a simmering hatred for any unpowered human who presume any kind of authority over transhumans, be it scientific authority, political authority, or any other kind of authority. In Dawn’s mind, transhumans reign supreme.
Power Loss: If Citizen Dawn does not soak up at least three hours of sunlight each day (six in overcast conditions), all of her powers gain the Fades modifier and she cannot use Merge With the Power of the Sun.

K.N.Y.F.E. was another one of those "tight-fit" characters, where I had to juggle about four different things to get her to feel the way I think she should.  (All of these builds are extremely subjective, naturally.)  The way her powers were described in her bio, it makes me think that she suffers from a buildup of some "kinetic" energy that occasionally and randomly discharges, hence the Uncontrolled flaw on her "built-in" power.  Also, the uncontrolled discharges are painful to her, which is why they have the "tiring" flaw.  Her suit lets her control that power, and grants her a few alternate effects.  However, I decided to give the effects the "Fades" flaw, representing her slowly draining off her kinetic charge and weakening the effects until she can rest and recharge.  I don't know why, but between her bio and her cards, this just strikes me as a good way to handle her powers.  Plus, I don't use the "Fades" modifier often, so there's that.

[b]Obsession:[/b] Paige Huntly knows something is coming. Something big. Even to someone as grounded as her, the signs are unmistakable. Paige knows this event must be controlled, monitored, at every turn, no matter the cost. When her superiors rejected her theories, she abandoned FILTER to make sure that when this event goes down, someone is there to make sure it happens the “right” way. Every event K.N.Y.F.E. involves herself in is, in her mind, connected to the coming multiversal crossroad.

[b]Reputation:[/b] Although she's taken to teaming up with the world's more established heroes, K.N.Y.F.E. is a commando first and a superhero second. She tends to act with a brutal efficiency that is both surprising and off-putting, preferring stealth, psychological warfare, guerilla tactics, and strategic eliminations over the more guileless, more public-friendly methods used by the Freedom Five and many of their contemporaries. Many of the world's other heroes are hesitant to work with K.N.Y.F.E., although Paige and Expatriette get along rather famously,.

[b]Prejudiced:[/b] As a former FILTER agent, K.N.Y.F.E. views anything that deviates too far from “normal human” with extreme suspicion. Aliens, extradimensional or extratemporal creatures, even “former” humans such as Haka, Writhe, or Dr. Medico, are all seen as potential traitors or enemies. In battle, K.N.Y.F.E. will keep one eye on these “allies.”

[b]Wanted:[/b] Although she believes she's acting in the best interests of reality at large, she's still AWOL from FILTER, and a rogue agent in possession of stolen, extremely highly-advanced (not to mention classified) technology is something FILTER does not take lightly. Any sighting of Paige, whether hard fact or mere rumor, is bound to draw a team of FILTER agents armed with technology inhibitors and arrest warrants.

This is some really great stuff. It's all getting saved for when I actually get around to running some supers again.

So excited to see this project return, chainsawrabbit.  I was getting interested in M&M3 when I first found this thread early last year.  My love for the system has only grown, so I am thrilled that you have decided to continue this.  Thanks! :)

[Amnachaidh]

I've really been enjoying this thread, chainsawrabbit. It reminds me of playing Second Edition M&M 5 + years ago.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm!  Sorry I kinda stalled out on updates (again), but life got a little crazy.  However, I have finished the number crunching for all remaining heroes except the Naturalist; that guy's turning out to be a pain in the rear.  He's taking a lot of research, actually, to represent his animal forms (with a little creative license).  The hard part on these guys is their Complications.  I got my hands on copies of the DC Adventures character books, and have been using them for ideas, references, etc.  Some of the newer heroes were challenging, like trying to make Parse's support abilities appropriately game-changing, trying to represent some of NightMist's and Writhe's powers in a thematically appropriate way without making them game-breaking, and so on.  I hope I'm not taking too much creative license with some of their powers, because I'm trying to build that are both fun and effective, which is why The Idealist now has the ability to Force-crush enemies (and really, who doesn't want to do that?).

Also, now that we know for sure that Mister Fixer is completely blind (which I didn't know when I originally statted him up), I'm thinking of an update, giving him a Disability complication for his blindness and freeing up points wherever I can for:

Sensei's Focus: Senses 5 (ultra-hearing, accurate, actue, radius)  ▪ 5 points

The newest crop of villains is going to be a challenge, especially GloomWeaver.  I'm trying to figure out the best way to represent an incorporeal interdimensional demi-deity.  Maybe going over his cards again will knock the dust off the ol' inspiration.

Please, freely pass along any ideas or feedback on the various characters.  I'm not too big to completely redo a character if I'm too far off the mark.

So very cool to see these continuing.  I just got a guy who runs M&M nights at our FLGS into sentinels recently, I'll have to alert him to these.

We're giving some of these a try tonight. I've got NightMist, Absolute Zero, Haka, and the Chrono-Ranger going up against Baron Blade. We'll see how it works out. I enjoyed reading through the builds.

NEEECROOOOMAAAAANCEEEER.

 

This is wonderful stuff. I'm going to give this a shot as soon as I can, and probably also look into trying the FATE Accelerated angle. Probably the latter first to see if people are interested, then offer more crunch (your wonderful stuff) if they are.

[rapthorn2ndform]

These are REALLY awesome. I especcially love the coplications and fkavor stuff.

I hope you don't mind if i use and moodify these for my game that I run. My players actually will be having a run in with some of the freedom 5 rather soon so i need to be prepared. Well, it's actually Haka, Setback, Unity, Tempest. As well as a new addition to the Super Ranks, a pre-teen psychic name Augry. She became a hero after being saved from her own living nightmares by a group of heroes, she especailly looks up to the Visonary but she doesn't think her idol likes her too  much.
