Multi-Lingual: Latin, English

Knowledge: Ancient World

Weapons: Ancient World

Powers:
X-O ManoWar Armor
A pseudo-symbiotic armor, the X-O series is a powerful weapon developed and designed by spider-like aliens who sought to use it to conquer various planets. The suit is considered to have Un (100) material strength, although its exact strength is not truly known as it is one of a handful of X-O armors created. Bonded to Aric, the X-O ManoWar obeys his every command, making Aric one of the most powerful individuals in the Valiant universe. The armor possesses a vast arsenal of abilities, including but not limited to:
· Stat/Health Increase: inside the armor Aric’s FASE and health increase, granting him the following: F: In (40), A: In (40), S: Am (50), E: Mn (75) Health: 205
· Body Armor: Aric has Am (50) resistance to all physical damage, as well as temperature extremes and environmental rigors.
· Life Support: the X-O ManoWar armor grants Mn (75) life support to Aric, allowing him to survive days without rest, food, or a fresh oxygen supply. Aric survived deep space for weeks while inside the suit.
· Regeneration*: While wearing the suit, the wearer will heal damage at Ex (20), mending even the most serious of injuries in hours/days.
· Kinetic Weapons: The X-O ManoWar suit fires destructive energy weapons from either hand, capable of destroying starship hull plating among other things with Mn (75) ability.
· Sensory Enhancements: The X-O ManoWar armor grants the wearer a full sensory package, capable of all forms of energy detection (save psionic and magic), as well as RADAR, LDAR, SONAR, and other normal means.
· Communicate w/ Cybernetics: The X-O ManoWar suit can interface with machines with Ex (20) ability.
· Total Memory: The X-O suit maintains complete records of its use and information, possibly with limitless memory.
· Teaching: The X-O suit can ‘speed teach’ its wearer, allowing the wearer to learn quickly new languages, customs, events, and other skills. Complex skills require karma expenditure, but the X-O suit can teach any language it encounters with a simple Reason FEAT, standard skills with a Yellow Reason FEAT, or pass basic information with a standard Psyche FEAT. The user can be overloaded by the information, which requires a Psyche FEAT to prevent brain overload. Wearers who are overloaded are unconscious from 1 – 72 hours.
· Energy Shell: the X-O ManoWar suit can generate an energy shell similar to the ‘Energy Sheath’ power, often using it to reflect/absorb incoming energy attacks with Un (100 ) ability. The energy is stored within the suit and redirected into the weaponry.
· True Flight: The X-O ManoWar suit allows the user to fly with Mn (75) ability within atmosphere, and far faster in space.
· Limited Shape Shifting: the X-O ManoWar suit reforms to the will and desire of the person wearing it, conforming to their build and personality. The suit will generate natural weaponry (such as cestuseStrength: or generate new matrices depending on the wearer with Rm (30) intensity. In addition, the suit will turn into a small golden sphere when not in use, flowing over the wearer when commanded to do so (granting a 1 round costume changEndurance: .
· The X-O ManoWar suit is aware and has its own RIP score. As such, the suit can resist mental attacks on its own, as well as maintain its own ‘persona’, although it remains silent to anyone who is not wearing the suit. The suit’s RIP are: R: Am (50) I: In (40) P: Am (50).
· Anti-Tampering: The suit does not like to be tampered with, and will not respond to anyone but the wearer of the control ring. The suit.
· Machine creation: The suit has ‘split’ parts of itself off in the past to create complex items such as a cybernetic hand for one of Aric’s closest allies. As such, the material strength is identical to the X-O armor, and the armor can control said machines even if detached.

Contacts:
Aric has many contacts through his corporation, although many perished at the hands of the Spider Aliens.

Limitations:
Command Ring: The X-O suit is controlled through a telepathic ‘Command Ring’, which must be worn to activate the suit. Whoever has the ring can use the X-O armor.
Man out of time: Despite his adjustment to the modern era, Aric is still a Visigoth in attitude and occasional appearance. As such, Aric reacts like a time-displaced barbarian would when dealing with deception. Aric always keeps his word, and will seek a bloody revenge when wronged or when his friends and/or kinsmen are harmed.
Enemy: Spider Aliens: The creators of the X-O armors, Aric has vowed to destroy them all for their actions against him.

Note: The X-O armor is widely known among space faring races, and many individuals have sought it over the years as it is a powerful weapon. The popularity of the suit is reflected in the adjusted popularity score.

Karma: 50
Resources: Personal Typ (6)/Skrull-Backed Am (50)
Pop: -20/-10/50 (On Earth, in Space, and among the Skrulls general populace).

Powers:
Skrull: K’Lrt is a member of the shape-shifting skrulls, further modified by Skrullian science and as such, can perform the following feats:
- Shape-Shifting: Am (50) ability
- Imitation: Am (50) ability to appear as an identical copy of any living person.
Mental Training: K’Lrt has undergone additional training which grants him the following abilities:
- Hypnotic Mind Control: Rm (30) ability to control the minds of others upon eye contact.
Super-Skrull: K’lrt has been genetically altered with the powers of the Fantastic Four. These powers include:
MR FANTASTIC:
- Elongation: Mn (75)
- Plasticity: Mn (75)
THE HUMAN TORCH:
- Fire Generation: Monstrous (75)
- Fire Control: Monstrous (75)

Contacts:
Nova
The Annihilators
The Skrull Empire

Limitations:
Skrull: As with most recent events, K'lrt is a member of an unpopular stellar race and is often met with resentment and harsh attitudes. K'lrt suffers a -1cs reaction bonus simply being a Skrull.

Warrior Code: K'lrt is the champion of the Skrull Empire, and as such holds himself in a very proud manner. As such, K'lrt will not engage in certain activities against those who have earned his respect, such as Nova, and will even go against his leadership if necessary.

Power LImitation: K'lrt used to rely on several means to use his powers, and required 'recharging' in his earlier appearances. K'lrt is also limited that he can only use two of the Fantastic Four's powers in combination at any one time, at least, he was. It is uncertain if K'lrt still has the limitation in question.

Mosquito from 'The Futurians'

Mosquito


































Dana Morgan

F: Ex (20)
A: Rm (30)
S: Typ (6)
E: Rm (30)
R: Gd (10)
I: Gd (10)
P: Gd (10)

Health: 86
Karma: 30
Popularity: 20
Resources: Gd (10)/In (40) as part of Future Dynamics

Talents:
Athletics
Gymnastics
Tumbling
Aerial Combat
Marksman*
Guns
Martial Arts E
Knowledge: Future Dynamics Protocols
Fame*

Powers: Mosquito benefits from centuries of genetic seeding by future humanity:
Future Dynamics Uplift:
Dana has been genetically uplifted by a combination of radiation/biochemistry/genetic manipulation which grants her superhuman powers. Dana has displayed the following powers:

  • True Flight: Rm (30) airspeed
  • Vibration Generation: Mosquito can generate powerful vibrational energies, capable of blasting a hole through steel bulkheads with In (40) ability. As Mosquito has recently gained her powers, it is unknown if she has mastered anything else.


Equipment:
Costume: Dana's costume was shown in the short-lived 3-issue comic series to provide Gd (10) protection vs. physical and energy attacks.

Pistol: Dana possesses a dart pistol capable of firing a range of ammunition. As of the comic series, the pistol was shown to fire two types:
- Sleep Darts: Capable of rendering a target unconscious for up to four hours with Rm (30) intensity
- Explosive Darts: Capable of doing Rm (30) damage to a single person or area.
Dana can fire three darts per round with a 1 area range.


Contacts:
The Futurians
Future Dynamics

Limitations

  • VanderVecken Control: As part of the genetic manipulation over centuries, Mosquito and the rest of the Futurians (Except Avatar) are unable to resist the control of Vandervecken. As such, should Mosquito come into conflict with Vandervecken, she will immediately be rendered 'forgetful' and will not remember the incident.
  • Impulsive: Among all of the Futurians, Mosquito is the most hot-headed and impulsive, which leads her into trouble. Mosquito once threw her gun away believing it only fired tranquilizer darts, only to remember there were other settings.




Note: While Mosquito at first the apparently weakest member of the Futurians, it was strongly hinted she had not fully gained her abilities and/or had others related to her uplifted physiology. It could be surmised these would possibly include vibration related powers or even shrinking.

Avatar from 'The Futurians'

Avatar



Real Name Unknown, Alias is Andrew Pendragon

F: Rm (30)
A: Rm (30)
S: Mn (75)
E: Un (100)
R: Rm (30)
I: Rm (30)
P: Rm (30)

Health:235
Karma: 90
Resources: In (40)/Mn (75) as part of Future Dynamics
Popularity: 20

Talents:
As Avatar has been alive for over three thousand years, he has multiple talents and disciplines. So far, Avatar has shown to possess:
Martial Arts A, B, C, D, E
Business/Finance
Leadership*
Horsemanship
Rope use
Multi-Lingual
Military*
Law*
Medicine*
Knowledge: Inheritors
Knowledge: Superhuman activities
Knowledge: Conspiracies
Knowledge: Ancient World
Knowledge: Art
History
Occult Lore: Egyptian

Avatar theoretically could have dozens of additional talents.


Powers:
Uplifted Physiology: Avatar was one of the first humans to benefit from the genetic seeders that were sent back in time to arm humanity. As such, Avatar already had abilities prior to the genetic uplift performed at Future Dynamics. Avatar's abilities prior to the uplift included:
- Longevity: Avatar does not age, or ages very very slowly. As such, Avatar looks to be in his thirties when in fact he is ancient.
- Recovery: Avatar recovers Endurance ranks with Ex (20) ability
- Danger Sense: Avatar's experience has given him something akin to Danger Sense, allowing him to perceive patterns and danger with Rm (30) ability.
- Omni-Knowledge: Avatar's vast experience has allowed him to make incredibly good guesses with little to no facts or information with Mn (75) ability. Avatar figured out some time in the ancient past that the future had been affecting human development, that there was a war on the horizon, and that he was a product of that evolutionary involvement before evolution was a concept. Avatar can spend two rounds analyzing a situation and make a roll to determine additional facts and/or overlooked details, as well as predict accurately results depending on the color of his FEAT roll.
- Resist: Toxins, Disease, and Poisons: Am (50) resistance. In addition, Avatar has burned out the compulsion that was genetically programmed into each of the Futurians from Vandervecken.

Future Dynamics uplift:
Although already powerful, the further uplift to Avatar granted him additional abilities and powers:
- Superhuman Strength: Avatar's strength was increased to its current limits.
- Superhuman Endurance: Avatar's Endurance was increased to current limits
- True Invulnerability: Amazing (50) True Invulnerability
- True Flight: Mn (75) True Flight
- Hyper Speed: As shown in the comics, Avatar can move in bursts of speed with Rm (30) ability, increasing his reaction times and flight speed accordingly
- Regeneration*: Avatar actually regenerates damage as shown in issue #1 and issue #2 with Ex (20) ability.
- Resist: Power Manipulation: Avatar can resist basic attempts to negate his power with Rm (30) ability.


Contacts:
The Futurians
Sunswift
Pendragon Industries


Limitations:
  • Emotionally Detached: Avatar is perhaps the most detached of the group, which makes him 'cold' to everyone but Sunswift. In addition, Avatar sees the purpose of the Futurians as nothing short of manipulation, and continues to serve as a feeling of necessity for humanity rather than loyalty to the group.
  • Overprotective: Avatar has displayed a sense of overprotective 'fatherly' behavior towards Silkie and Mosquito, and will go out of his way for Sunswift.
  • Overconfident: Avatar is very certain of himself, which has led to his own blindsiding.

Limitations:
Dedicated to the Mission: Rick Flag is completely dedicated to the mission at hand, and will willingly sacrifice his life to complete the mission he’s currently on. As such, Flag suffers a -1cs to any action which would be against the mission priority.

Survivor's Guilt: Flag suffers from bouts of survivor's guilt, specifically from the reformed Suicide Squad and other incidents. The guilt is especially present when Flag has 'downtime', and has been used to manipulate him in the past by figures such as Waller especially.

Reputation: Flag's cold reputation and complete loyalty to the mission are well-known, and possibly one of the reasons that the Squad follows his lead.

- Recovery: Cap possesses Rem (30) recuperative abilities.
- Resist: Disease: Cap is considered immune to normal diseases and has Rm (30) Resistance to exotic or enhanced diseases.
- Resist: Toxins: Cap is considered to have Rm (30) resistance to most earthly based toxins, and cannot be fatigued through normal means. As a result, Cap does not have to make an Endurance FEAT in order to maintain speed or pace while traveling.
- Hyper Running: Cap is capable of running the two minute mile, and is faster than the fastest olympic athlete. Cap is considered to be able to move 4 areas a round on foot.
- Suspended Animation: Cap enters a state of suspended animation under frigid conditions, where his body chemistry halts rather than crystallizes.
- Longevity: In many portrayals of Cap, the super-soldier serum effectively grants Cap extraordinary youth and lifespan. As seen in the alternate universes of Earth X, 1602, and elsewhere, Cap could theoretically live three times the normal lifespan before slowing down.


Indomitable Will: Cap is the symbol of all that is good with America, and possesses great willpower and ability. Cap’s will is considered Un (100) when attempting to break Cap. From Nightmare to Thanos to Mephisto, Cap has resisted the greatest threats who have attempted to overcome Cap's will.

Armored costume: Cap’s costume
provides him with Ex (20) protection against Physical and Ex (20) resistance to Energy attacks. Cap's costume is insulated to provide additional protections against the elements, granting Gd (10) protection against temperatures extreme.

Shield: Cap possesses a shield that is a unique alloy of Adamantium and Vibranium.
It is Cl5000 material, capable of absorbing 100 points of damage per round, or be hurled 3 areas for RM (30) damage. Cap can make the shield rebound up to 5 targets with an agility FEAT, forcing opponents to make a stun/slam attack.

  • A majority of the X-Men
  • The Secret Avengers
  • The list goes on and on.

Limitations:
  • Sworn enemies: Cap has a series of enemies that are life-long: The Red Skull, Arnim Zola, Baron Zemo I, Baron Zemo II, the Hate Monger, Baron Von Strucker, Count Nefaria, Baron Blood, Master-Man, and Warrior Woman to name but a few.
  • Idealist: Cap is a strong believer in the basic decency of mankind, and will uphold the ideals of America (but not the politics): Truth, Justice, Fairness, and Honesty with all of his being. As such, Cap has been placed in difficult situations due to his desire to uphold those concepts.
  • Public Identity: Cap revealed his identity as Steve Rogers publicly.
  • Reluctance to take a life: Cap is very reluctant to take a life, and has done so after much reluctance and only under extreme conditions when not in wartime.
  • Man  out of time: Cap is from an older generation, and is not as 'caught up' on things in the modern world. His ideology is far older than his appearance, and he is still occasionally put off by the 'modern' world.
