Putting a new group of PCs together.

Sentinel · Unread post by **Sentinel** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 2:25 pm

I'll shorten the story:
A group of super-heroes were briefly rifted to Rifts' Earth. They traveled around, saw things, got involved, and became regionally famous, before going home.
They influenced 6 characters from the burbs to become super-heroes as best they can within their current OCCs.
If you were the GM of such a story, what 6 characters (no more than two of the same OCC) would you pick?

The heroes who were influential :
(names aren't important)
1) patriotic super-soldier (emphasis on soldier: Navy SEaL)
2)crazyman mutant who thinks he's a god (mega-hero w/ god-syndrome)
3)electrical genius/transferred consciousness into combat robot.
4) Immortal warrior woman (w/ N&SS martial art and antique katana)
5)experiment super-speedster
6)female mega-psychic (yes, she had red hair).

Thanks all. 8-)

I'm trying to figure out what you're wanting here, Sentinel. Are we to pick six from your list of six, or come up with our own list?

Killer Cyborg · Thu Jan 13, 2005 7:08 pm

I'm still trying to figure out what a "mega-psychic" is...

He want us to do this:

I need to know the name of the group though(so the guys can name themselves after them.)

1) patriotic super-soldier (emphasis on soldier: Navy SEaL)

So let's try a headhunter.

2)crazyman mutant who thinks he's a god (mega-hero w/ god-syndrome)

At first I thought a mutant vagabond would do here, then I realised I was looking for a crazy. :lol:

3)electrical genius/transferred consciousness into combat robot.

So an operator seems right to me.(with perhaps mutant powers instead of 'sychic powers, like APS electricity/mechanolink or something like that...)

4) Immortal warrior woman (w/ N&SS martial art and antique katana)

I'm thinking a borg? of some sort.

5)experiment super-speedster

I was thinking a juicer.

6)female mega-psychic (yes, she had red hair).

So, I think I'll choose a mind melter.
_________________________________

After the Champions(or whatever their name was) left Rifts the NEW Champions(or whatever their name was) rose up to take their place:
1)A headhunter.
2)A Crazy (who thinks he's a god).
3)A mutant Operator(with APS:Electricity and Mechanolink instead of 'sychic powers)
4)A female borg of some sort with a Vibro-katana.
5)A juicer
6)And a female mindmelter(with red hair?)

Sorry for the ambiguity.
The group of time traveling heroes was called The Legacy. They were the heroes I described.
What I wanted was a mix of characters most likely to be inspired, possibly even imitate them, out of OCCs and D-Bee RCCs available from the Chi-Town Burbs. Not necessarily a literal translation. Obviously, some OCCs will be more taken with the Legacy than others.
A sort of "what if", where a patriotic super soldier Navy Seal met and inspired a Mega-Juicer, for example.
Spirit, I like yours so far.
BTW, a Mega-Psychic is a HUII Mega-Hero from the Psychic catagory.

Thank you.
That's what I assumed, so that's what I went for.

The crazyman hero who thinks he's a god might actually be a god: no one believes him.

Spirit, if you don't have any objection, I'd like to roll up characters based on your selections, submit them to my group, credit you, and then play the s*** out of them for so long as they last.
The Rifts characters will all be Scrupulous, Unprincipled and one may be Principled.
I'm going to randonly determine the levels of each, between 1st and 3rd levels.
The adventure will take place the day after the Legacy has left.

...I'm supposed to have fun?
Why doesn't somebody tell me these things?

My only advice is the team is light on magic. You might want to substitute a mage somewhere. Maybe make the immortal warrior woman an Undead Slayer (the sword tattoo would work for the katana)?

Sentinel · Unread post by **Sentinel** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 11:30 am

It is my hope that as they adventure, they will attract more to their noble cause.

Sentinel · Unread post by **Sentinel** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 12:02 pm

I like the undead slayer. For a second I toyed with the Staphra (sp.?) from Splynn, but then I like the slayer a little bit more.

Although I was thinking about making the Juicer the principled one... :lol:

just read this message. probably not exactly what you looking for, but here goes.

4) Immortal warrior woman (w/ N&SS martial art and antique katana)

my initial thought on this was an escaped altara warrior woman with a few stolen "items" & enhancements from Atlantis before escaped.(magical/psionic sword or even advanced "nano" tech sword, like cyberai from PW book) meeting your team inspired her to a new direction & to live life again, rather than staying hidden from the Splugorth.

1) patriotic super-soldier (emphasis on soldier: Navy SEaL)

A Lonestar gen engineered CS special Forces returning to the burbs after the SOT, with a new outlook on CS & Life, encountering your team
just confirmed these "revelations" of CS & his place in the scheme of things

2)crazyman mutant who thinks he's a god (mega-hero w/ god-syndrome)

an escaped juiced up dogboy, recaptured by the CS, driven insane by the
torture (Re-assimilation training!) at the hands of the CS, permenanatly stuck in the Megalomania or Arrogant warrior persona ( multiple personality insanity)

for some reason the more i read the above, the more i am thinking Wolverine type. that is why i have made him a dogboy

5)experiment super-speedster

Biofreak from Skrapers rpg (i think that is occ), came from the old chicago rifts into burbs or a Murtant weasel gunslinger, or a star child from England book, keep on wanting this to be a d-bee of some sort from the Chicago Rifts. any of the hyper d-bees, quick flex gunslinger or Quickflex CK from SOt book

6)female mega-psychic (yes, she had red hair).

lost one rcc from Merc book

3)electrical genius/transferred consciousness into combat robot.

the other is a rogue Shimmerian robot

I'll take what I get done this weekend, and share with you lovely people come Monday.
I do have a game to run Saturday, complete with a new first-timer, who's a woman. Can you believe it?

this is a rogue Shimmerian robot ( not under archie-3's or anyone else's control, has got new programming, prob due to your #3 superteam character's interventions. on leaving they reprogramme this with their ideals, history, memory & ****
