COX: Character Concepts II

Going through my previous post, I come to realize that amongst the many character concepts that I came up with.  I'm quite unlikely to make one of those characters and play them.  Surprisingly, I manage to get Rangi's Rage up to level 35 on my secondary account.  Highest level amongst all my characters so far.

Deleted alot of characters from my main account and re-leveled them since their names were inappropriate for Superhero themed RPG. 

There are only two so far that did turn out to be something I like and could see myself playing in the long-term.

a).  Katana / Regen - Brute
Instead of a Highlander, I simply made a Vampire who had lived for centuries and had been elluding those that were trying to bring him to justice for a while.  Utterly amoral and warped sense of world itself due to his seemingly immortality.

b) Thugs / Poison - Mastermind
A Hongkong rich kid with mutant powers, his dad used to run the triad and now he wants to takeover.  Comes over to Rogue Island to make a name for himself.  Arrogant and brash, he enjoys using the word 'Gwai lo' on non chinese people.


The rest of the concepts are still in consideration with details that needs to be worked out.  Their motivation / background and fun factor.  I have far too many hero characters and I need to create a Villain char to even things out.  The only problem is some of them sounds good on paper, but might not have a powerset I'm interested in playing.

1. Kinetic Melee (8/10)
I really like the KM powerset, character concept wise I have thought of a either Dongfang Bubai or someone who ended up like him.  The only problem is Dongfang himself is rather eccentric, not exactly the villain I expect.   Cruel and vain but it be alot of effort to work out the motivation in seeking greater power.

2. Titan Weapons(8.5/10)
Another of my favorite powerset.  I would prefer a hero char for this but I'm not really sure. Would it be a statue that gained life or video game character that became alive.  Either way I still can't decide on the background.

3. Arachnos Widow (7/10)
A pugulistic warrior that is more like an assasin but not affiliated with the Villian side. Think of him as Shinobi with a twist.

4. Axe / Shield (7/10)
Probably make it a brute or scrapper of magic origin. The thing holding me back is that I don't have the costume parts for it to make it feel more convincing.  Character concept is holding me back too, Daemonic warrior?  Birdman?  Minotaur?

5. Beam Gun / ??? (7/10)
A dimensional traveller from another time or world? Too much like Bishop and Cable from the X-Men series?  Perhaps a refuge from an altenate world decimated by aliens and arrived in Praetoria to seek help.


6. Ninja / Time Manipulation (6/10)
A fuedal overlord from Japan who has survived two centuries. He is actually a mutant and believes in creating the perfect mutant by mating with another superior mutant. Its his method to pass on his legacy of his empire. Probably believes all ordinary humans are unworthy and are fit only to be servants or slaves.  I like this idea too but I have too many Mastermind characters already...

7. Crazed Necromancer (6/10)
A man who has trouble letting go. Learns necromancy to bring back his dead wife. Something goes wrong and drives him insane.  Likewise, I fancy this idea but have too many Mastermind characters already.

8.  A daemonic Entity who summons daemons... (6/10)
A Daemon  An Outsider from beyond this dimension trying to invade this world. It assumes human form in either gender and summons his minions to do his bidding.  I'll need the Super Tailor access to pull this off and its too expensive in the store now.  Also because I have way too many Mastermind characters already.

9. Street Justice / ??? (7.5/10)

I like this powerset too.  But I have to buy it from the store and also I can't decide the secondary.  Either John cousin turned evil or Thai mutant. 

10. Super Strength/ Invuln (6/10)
I changed the robot concept to a cyborg one.  Instead of being corrupted by Eva Omega.  The said character is a paraplegic genius who working with technology to enable people like him to move.  He succeeds and somehow gets warped in the process thus turning into a Villain.  I like the concept but not the powerset so I might change it to Electric Melee... not sure at this stage.

11. The Puritan
A religious intolerant Puritan who takes delight in hunting down and killing people whom he judges as living a guilty life.  Motivation would be insanity, delusions of grandeur

12. The Supremacist
A modern Neo Nazi who believes in racial purity.

REJECTS


16. Papa Jungle
A character from Papau New Guinea - Rather corny name. Papa Forest commands the power of plants and the earth. I plan to have him as a Dominator. I'm unsure if he will be of magic or mutant origin. I like the concept behind it but I don't think I play a character like this.



18. Vengeance
A mutant victim of Unit 731 during the WW II era. It is believed that the experiment reacted or triggered his mutant ability. He was later freed after the Japanese surrender. However was subsequently recaptured by US Covert Ops for further experimentations.  The concept is kind of vague to go about and I'm not a fan of Dark Melee.

19. Magi
A mage from another dimension. Probably an empathy defender.  Lowest on my priority list.
