Advantages begin at 0 and cost 1:1 per rank, right?  Sorry to monopolize the thread, but I'm trying to understand so I can get this right.

No worries. Yes until you take an Advantage (not a Boost but it is similar) they cost nothing. Otherwise it is 1D per rank although not all Advantages can have multiple ranks.

I have changed some people's names to their character names (still need names for jamat and smithy211's characters) because there are only details to be ironed out in a few cases.

I think I'm finally finished, BT! I edited again, that should be it. Dropped Attractive to 1D.

Changes made sir. I believe I'm all set.

Chen Zhen is the name, please and thank you

In reply to The Battleteller (msg # 54):

Go for it Sonny!!! (Did I mention he's an old codger? Like those pesky Wright brothers stole some of his designs.) I'm feeling a little drawback envy when I look at other characters with their 5 extra points.

Heh....well don't worry too much, I will have to take into account all those Disadvantages and make them come into play enough for them to matter. :)

Plus, you got that swank jet bike which gives you some extra stuff. :)

In reply to smithy211 (msg # 81):

Changed your name although Chen Zen sounds more like a Chinese name than Japanese. :)

Also, just so you know Unskilled actually makes it so ANY skill you haven't put at least 1D into (for a 2D level) is used at 1/2D. So if you don't want to be THAT bad at skills you have trained you could drop that Disadvantage and drop 1D from either your skills or your Resistances.

Also for everyone who has had their character name changed you can go to the Character Details tab and edit your character sheet. I just put in a sentence as a placeholder so just ditch that and put in the sheet. Feel free to select a picture, fill out the Biography section, and edit the Description.

it IS chinese... dammit. lol

well... let's go with Jung Huo for the name

and I kind of like him not being skilled at things. It suits the concept. He's all about the martial arts.

It's all good man, no worries. I think the name Chen Zen (Zhen) was originally Bruce Lee's character name in one of his movies and has been used by other martial artists in movies since then. :)

cool. we will leave it Chen Zen then. just cause.

and it IS his name in the chinese connection(I believe) and Fist of Legend with Jet Li, sort of a remake.

Okay, so, updating Flamethrower's background, he's a former Nazi propaganda actor who grew more and more disgusted with the scripts he was being handed. He wanted to quit earlier, but they threatened to kill his fiancee if he fled. He was handed over to Operation: Matchstick after his belligerence became a liability and wasn't supposed to survive experimentation. He did, but so far as he knows, no other test subjects have, except possibly the ice elementalist, and he's not sure, but it's likely that there were some survives cells of scientists.

Also, I realize my character's Turbocycle's flight is 6D. Since I fully expect this to be one of my character's main powers, it probably is only fair to somehow cap it at 5D. The only reason I wanted 6D is for maximum flight speed (800 mph) which puts it in the realm of jets. I noticed you were posting about a trade offs earlier when someone had a stat above 5D. Would it be possible for it to be Flight 5D (6D for maximum speed, 4D for combat use)?

Looks good to me.

That is a good point. Supersonic flight is still unheard of as jets are in their utter infancy. So you should cap it at 5D for 400 mpg flight speed. It is still faster than most planes at the time and would allow you to put another 1D into Armor. I would leave off the trade-off at this time. Eventually you will be able to get it to 6D for speed.

As everyone has posted their characters here I thought I'd better to.

If we have a fire-based elementalist already, do we want to shift me over to, I dunno, lightning or something? I don't think doubling up on fire would be a bad thing, mind.

Don't feel that you have to. His fire is fire breath from him being a dragon. Yours is of a different origin and presentation. It is up to you though ultimately.

Unless you went with Lightning as "Blitzkrieg"!

Wrong side of the war, but an interesting idea. I think I'll stick with Flamethrower - you can never burn stuff too much, and it works well with his background.

In reply to Flamethrower (msg # 98):

Unless your character deliberately chose that name to mind-fuck the Nazis! What better way to sabotage their Propaganda than a super-powered Blitzkrieg of JUSTICE striking them!

I'm seeing him as being mostly an agent of the Allied government, not someone with a lot of ability to make independent decisions, or especially interested in it.

So people should feel free to put their character sheets up on their Character Details page. I have a short sentence there as a placeholder but you can remove it and put in the sheet.

Also with everyone's characters done we should talk about how everyone is together. We have quite the diverse group; a martial artist defector from Japan, and ex-Nazi experiment human Zippo lighter, an "Amazon" warrior, a gadgeteer with his jetbike and bodyguard, a dragon who has an alternate human form, and a Greek paragon-type.

I am thinking of starting the game in 1940 which is while the Nazis were still in their upswing of success during the war. Since the US is not officially in the war I figure the team could be based out of England and be backed covertly by the US military/government. Thoughts?

sounds good to me boss.
