Character Creation Challenge 2022: #13 = "HERO SYSTEM -- 6th Edition"

 For our next character, we return to Repeatville with our next game, the universal system known as “Hero System”. “Hero System” is the system behind “Champions” -- one of the first three superhero-themed tabletop roleplaying games. The other two being “Mutants and Masterminds” and “Villains & Vigilantes”.


Step #1 is getting the points for the campaign from the fictional Game Master. After doing all other genres, the fictional Game Master is getting an ego the size of the planet known as Jupiter. The fictional Game Master goes with 1,000 Points.

Step #2 is buying the Characteristics. The Characters are similar to Attributes of other games. Step #2A is buying Strength. It’s free base is 10. Anything more is +1 Character Point. I like 20 for my PC. 20-10=10. 10*1=10 1,000-10=990. Step #2B is buying Dexterity. It’s free base 10. Anything more is +2 Character Points. I think I’m going with 15. 15-10=5. 5*2=10. 990-10=980.  Step #2C is buying Intelligence. It’s free base is 10. Anything more is +1. I’m going with 19. 19-10=9. 9*2=18. 980-18=962. Step #2D is buying Ego. It’s free business for 10. Anything more is +1 Character Points. I’m just taking my free stuff for this one and moving on.  Step #2E is buying Constitution.  It’s free business for 10. Anything more is +1 Character Points. I think I’m going to be taking a 30 here. 30-10=20. 20*1=20. 962-20=902.... 


...Oops, Ego comes after the Constitution in the “Hero System” rulebook. That will fix in the PC’s stats that is below this Character Creation Challenge 2022 business..... 


...Now, Step #2F is buying Presence. It’s free business for 10. Anything more is +1. I’m going with 25. 25-10=15. 15*1=15. 902-15=887. Step #2G is buying Offensive Combat Value. Base Value for OCV business is 5. More of that cost me 5 points. I’m going with 20. 20 - 5 = 15. 15*5=75. 887-75 =812. Step #2H is buying Defensive Combat Value. Base Value for OCV business is 3. More of that cost me 5 Character Points. I’m going with 20. 20-5=15. 15*5=75. 812-75=737. Step #2I is buying Offensive Mental Combat Value. It’s free business is 3. Buying more of that cost me 3 Character Points. I’m going to take my freebie and move on.  Step #2J is buying Defense Mental Combat Value. It’s free business is 3. Buying more of that cost me 3 Character Points. I’m taking my freebie and moving on.  Step #2K is buying Speed. Base Value is 2. Cost to add a point is 10 Character Points. I’m going with 20. 20 - 2 = 18. 18*10=180. 737-180=557. Step #2L is buying Physical Defense. It’s freebie is 2. Any more is +1 Character Points. I’m going with 20. 20-2=18. 18*1=18. 557-18=539.  Step #2M is buying Energy Defense. It’s free business is 2. A cost to add points is +1 Character Points. I’m going with 10 here. 10-2=8. 8*1=8. 539-8=531. Step #2N is buying Recovery. The base business is 4. Any more cost me +1 character. I’m going with 25. 25-4=21. 21*1=21. 531-21=510. Step #2O is buying Endurance. Endurance has free business of 20. 1 Character Points adds +5 to Endurance. I’m taking my free business and moving on.  Step #2P is buying Body. Body’s free business is 10. A Character Point sent here gives +1 to Body. I’m going with 30. 30-10=20. 20*1=20. 510-20=490. Step  #2Q is buying Stun. Stun’s free business is 20. 1 Character Points give +2 Stun. I’m taking my freebie and moving on. 


Step #3 is buying Skills. The following is what I bought for my PC with the math business in the brackets as usual:


  •  Acrobatics 5 (5*3=15. 490-15=475)

  •  Acting 6 (6*3=18. 475-18=457)

  •  Charm 7 (7*3=21. 457-21=436)

  •  Disguise 10 (10*3=30. 436-30=406)

  •  Language 4 (This is freebie. English)

  •  Language 3 (406-3=403. I’m going with Japanese)



Step #4 is getting Perks. I’m going with Money. I’m going with 15 Points. 403-15=338.


Step #5 is getting Talents. The following is the what I brought for my PC with the math business in brackets as usual: 


  • Absolute Time (338-3=335)

  • Ambidexterity (335-3=332)

  • Double Jointed (332-4=328)

  • Eidetic Memory (328-5=323)


Step #6 is Powers. The following is what I bought for my PC with the math business in brackets as usual: 


  •  Blast 10 (5x10=50. 323-50=273)

  •  Flight 10. (1x10=10. 273-10=263)



Step #7 is modifying powers -- which I decide not to do. 


Step #8 is limiting powers -- which I decide not to do.


Step #9 is getting some Character Complication for my PC. I’m going with “Unluck” for my PC.


Step #10 is the name. I’m going with “Angel”.


Step #11 is appearance. I’m going with the following:
“Angel is a tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes usually dressed in a white toga and sandals.”

Step #12 is Background. “Angel was born into one of the most secretive families in the world. She had a normal life in that family until she was attacked burning a college football game -- which allowed her to discover her superpowers. She thinks she is connected to a famous late superhero that died saving the world. It turns out there is another very secretive family that had been doing some shady business in the word -- and starting to harass Angel -- one of them used a totem pull to curse Angel with bad luck.”
