Jkeown got a reaction from Ockham's Spoon in Meta-Earth Characters
Aberris
Aberris is a Biker Demon. We didn’t know they had those. He travels around North America with Sonya, his undead girlfriend.
Agent Stone
Who is the woman known as Agent Stone? Seriously… cuz we have no clue.
Akuma
Merged with his demonic armor, Yamada Akihiro is a tortured soul… or more accurately, two tortured souls.
Anathema
Anathema is raw hate poured into red and black spandex. She’s a terrible human being, just like most people on this list, but she became so much worse after her kidnapping by the Mutant Master.
Antagonista
A powerful brick with a luchador theme, Antagonista wants you dead, and she hasn’t even met you.
Aversion
The Aversion builds walls, both emotional and physical.
B.I.G. Yikes
The hulking rapper B.I.G. Yikes has both lethal rhymes and deadly fists. His bling weighs nearly 400 pounds all by itself.
Bishop Bad Ass
Former partner of Sister Antipathy, he abandoned her after she joined the Samaritans. She has since reverted once more to evil; he still isn’t returning her calls.
Concept Stuff:
Robe: Damage Reduction Mitre: Mental Defense Crozier: Defense & Power Blast Pallium: Resistant Protection Ring: Bonus Punching Damage
Black
A brick, partner of Blue.
Savvy Fighter: Versatile Brick Style. Lots of Brick Tricks. Black Puppeteer
The Black Puppeteer is a Mind Controller who plays with dolls.
Detail: Mind Control + Physical Overrides Blast
Guess what she does. Go ahead… guess. Like a certain hero who shall go unnamed (but is actually Captain Marvel) she becomes the energy used in her attacks.
Stuff: Energy Control and a High DCV. Triggered Desolidification for attacks she’s aware of. Blood-Girl
A murderous nineteen-year-old, Blood-Girl terrorizes New York City with her vile schemes for power.
Blue
An energy controller, partner of Black.
Blue Shift
The Teleporter who calls herself Blue Shift was originally coaxed into crime by her super-significant other. That villain, Shadow Fox, dominated her for a long time. She continues her villainous ways to this day, even after Shadow Fox met his end at the hands of the Stranger.
Bombshell
Bombshell uses her pheromone powers to bend the male will to her own.
Breeze
The Breeze is an Air-Powered mutant. She likes suffocating people and releasing them after sufficient begging and tears. Her place in Those Elemental Bastards seems tenuous at best. The others hate her with a passion.
Brow
The Brow does not approve of your actions, your attire, your choice of companions, or your technique. In fact, the Brow doesn’t approve of you at all. Be gone.
Cardinal Sinn
A former AR porn star, Rachel Sinn wears a sexy cassock (no, the two aren’t mutually exclusive) and offers absolution and shelter to her “flock,” a crowd of rowdy Meta-Gangers.
Details: Mind Control and a mace. Catastrophe
A terrible pun and a worse villain, Catastrophe uses her feline Powers for evil.
Chanfao Zhe
The Stalker is a Chinese National awaiting extradition for crimes committed in his homeland.
Details: Wolverine. He’s Wolverine. -
Jkeown got a reaction from Old Man in Urban Hero
My own thing. The Hidden City of Ravenna. Secret magic, Black Schola, Mages kidnapped to swept away to a magical Sub-Realm to be initiated into an arcane society that's been around since Augustus ruled. Dee, Caligostro, a weird orb like entity known as the Librarian. Trolls. Something called a SOMA. Anti-mage special ops. The Contemptable Harpy, Jennifer Renquist. House Barlowe and their questionable experiments. A bunch of Kill-On-Sight wizards and undead known as the Execration. A tree that knows when you're going to die. Stagger-Lee's Stetson... the Bluesmobile... Excalibur... Wal-Martians. Wind, Fire... All that kind of thing.
"Santeria? I thought we was having wings!"
Recently, a Fey Lord bet a tiny periwinkle he could get Ravenna to expose itself to the rest of the world. He did it.
We've got a thing called Drawing In. Some creatures can pull you into loops of Space-Time where you can't be seen. Kind of like the Mirror Dimension from Doctor Strange.

Jkeown reacted to DShomshak in Meta-Earth Characters
Very amusing. Especially the names that are dumb but the person was clearly trying to be "kewl." Or dumb because who says everyone is good at names? Special call-out to Those Elemental Bastards as being at once precisely descriptive and strongly suggestive they couldn't think of a good name and accepted what their enemies called them. Or maybe it's all GenX ironic and meta. I'm not going to ask them.

Jkeown got a reaction from DShomshak in Meta-Earth Characters
Chitan
Chitan is a martial artist who can transform into an armored form.
Cowl
The Cowl is evil in a hood. He has appeared again after his apparent death in 1999. Hundreds of witnesses saw him blasted to atoms by the flying brick known as Prime. Prime is still expressing guilt over the killing but feels somewhat better with his old villain back from the dead. It’s a complicated matter.
Cosmonaut
The Cosmonaut was arrested and confined to Lockdown in 1974. She doesn’t speak to anyone. Despite being almost a hundred years old, she doesn’t look a day over 30. Her gravity gun is the stuff of legend.
Darc Powers
He’s evil, get it?
Dark Inferno
With Void-Powered flames and a penchant for cruelty, the Dark Inferno tortures his victims for secrets he can exploit.
Dastard.1
The man known as Dastard.1 is a flying brick, with Powers similar to, but much less potent, than Prime (that is to say, Clark Kent with the serial number filed off and a quick coat of paint).
Dastard.2
Dastard.2 is a sonic-powered woman with red hair and a slim build. Her screams can induce more than annoyance and frustration.
Dastard.3
Speedster Dastard.3 is among the fastest human beings known to science.
Dastard.3
Speedster Dastard.3 is among the fastest human beings known to science.
Dastard.4
Dastard.4 is a flame controlling psychopath. His Powers remind one of the abilities of Conflagration from the 1970s.
Dastard.5
A sword-wielding Meta Dastard.5 also delivers a powerful punch.
Dead Heavy
Dead heavy is an undead guitarist who incites violence with his awesome shredding chords and solos.
Destruct-o
Destruct-o is a brick. Mentally and physically; a big tough lump of misguided pain and projection. (I have been using Bulldozer from Champions for his character sheet so far... maybe there's a better way?)
Dice
Dice can “roll the big wheel and toss the big dice.” What he means by that is that he can alter probability, usually to give his partner Slice opportunities to attack with an increased chance of success. He wears an armored bodysuit because the way to Slice’s heart is through Dice’s chest cavity.
Donnie Blades
Donnie can empower his weapons to deliver terrible strikes, cutting through the toughest materials. He is a recent recruit to the Force for Evil.
Dorobato
Dorobato is a formless shapeshifter, little more than a cycloptic splash of mud and claws.
Dr. Brainstem
Doctor Brandon Stemitz was a brilliant neurosurgeon who is now a brilliant neurokinetic.
Dr. Nightmare
A former supervillain from the comic Tales of Terror and the Fantastic, Dr. Nightmare became real. Somehow. We didn’t ask.
Dr. Nycto
The bad doctor is a technological genius who uses her brain for evil.
Dr. Revenge
Doctor Revenge specializes in returning hero’s actions upon themselves. He wears a black battle suit under a trenchcoat. Weirdo.
Drag Queen
Drag Queen is very good at what he does, and what he does is not pretty. Not pretty at all. I mean… damn.
Dragonshard
Having earned the right to stand guard at the entrance to the Hidden City of Shi-Liang, Dragonshard promptly moved back to Brooklyn to kick everybody’s ass from Clara Barton High School.
E.V.I.L.
The Electronic Violence and Infiltration Lifeform is... Evil. Often works with C.A.S.S. and B.O.B. on various schemes and plots to destroy humanity.
Ebony Angel
The black-armored flying asshole who calls himself Ebony Angel is the chief rival of Justicar.
Eiji
Eiji is a young Japanese man who moves quicker than the eye can follow. His blade is just slightly slower…
Eli “Jurassic” Parker
This bastard can summon and control dinosaurs. Seriously.
Entrop
Entrop can summon and control the vast energies of the Maelstrom.
Evil Twin
The woman known as Evil Twin can shapeshift and mimic other Meta’s Powers.
Eviscerationist
The Eviscerationist generally tries to keep hospitals busy. "Respawns" somewhere else when killed.
Fayte
Fayte can pluck the strands of destiny (whatever those are) to affect the outcome of events. She is often hired by villains to provide an edge.
Felon
A cat burglar, the Felon can breach any vault you put him in front of. I say it this way because if you said it the normal way "any vault you put in front of him" then it implies that you already have the vault. The job is half done.

Jkeown got a reaction from aylwin13 in Interesting facility names
PERIL
The Premiere Evil Research Initiative at Lansdowne is a terribly posh boutique blastershop in Pennsylvania. Somewhere, we aren’t exactly sure where the place is.
Capes
Capes is a bar where Metas hang out. It is considered “neutral ground” where heroes can meet with villain informants, actual supervillains and the worst sort of capesluts. Its actual location is unknown.
Retropolis
Seeing the Future through the Past. A Gernsbackian industrial concern operated by the futurist Doctor Retroscope. Headquartered at Retropolis (City of the Future), the lab and the city surrounding it are part amusement park, part heavy industrial research facility. Its functions are controlled not by Doctor Retroscope but by the Vacuum Tube Vixen, Galetea.
The Home
A secret base for very old heroes, the Home provide medical care for alien Metabolisms, and control devices for those brave meta-codgers who no longer master their abilities.
Paragon Labs™
Paragon Labs™ specialize in Hero Training and Event Management. When the weird happens, the weird get going. They flit around the planet thanks to a purple cat who can teleport en masse.
Frost Labs
Frost Labs supports various governments and private armies as a mercenary research organization. They also make blasters, is what I’m saying.

Jkeown got a reaction from Gandalf970 in Fantasy HERO Stuff
This vile collection of gears, springs, bellows, and terrible flame strides toward you on cloven brass hooves. Its war cry is accompanied by a blast of steam and a glare of malice. It is knowledge and technological progress bound up with hate and betrayal. It has inspired steampunk horrors, devastating siege engines, and weapons of mass destruction. It is the bane of tinkers and workers of both intricate brass and unbreakable steel.

Jkeown got a reaction from Hermit in In your campaign setting, how do dragons perceive those that wear dragon-hide/dragon-scale armor?
The Dragons of Caleon have various response to those who would employ their hides as haberdashery.
Riachadda doesn't take offense so much as revenge. She sees her kind as noble beasts, standing apart from other creatures. While generally a force for good, murder is another matter. Korgalath is often amused. The armored character is often barbecued. Zinzalor might like to know if the hide in question was a friend. His reaction is generally based on the answer, as he has a number of rivals that he'd like to see on a dwarf's backside in one way or another. Nornastor is a close-minded reptile. He isn't easily roused or torn away from his books and scrolls, and rarely takes interest in anything else. Nornastor doesn't adapt. He's already hidebound. Gidraash, the Hidden Lord of the Drakeholds, is rarely seen and couldn't be bothered for an answer. The last time he was polled on a matter, the questioner was turned into rather startled cloud of drifting ash and regret. Onn, resting atop a pile of enchanted bone that would make any necromancer worth his salt quiver in vile, void-powered ecstatic glee, would probably like to know if the hide in question was his own. He'd like it back. Gethrimax will likely trade for it. He'll offer 3000... Degrees... Fahrenheit. Kaathrixis simply doesn't care to know who's being worn this season. She's rather busy these days and has no time for gossip. Boltakainen will cry tears of fire at the loss of one of his kind. He will beat his chest, roar in titanic sorrow, thrash his tail in anguish. He will lament for the fallen, for the Civilization of Solitude are few in number. Lastly, he will gently reach out, grasp the armored character in his forgiving claw and beat the remainder of the party to death with him. -

Jkeown got a reaction from Ragitsu in Middle Earth Package Deals?
Hi.
I have a thing I wrote about 3 years ago as an occasional distraction from my wife's medical condition. Don't mistake me. I was there for her. Like mad. As in it drove her mad. She's fine now, by the way. But I digress. I wrote this. It was originally 62 pages+the cover, but a lot of stuff in that document could get me in a lot of trouble, so I trimmed it down to 9 pages. It does not include my usual style of humor. I respect Tolkien's work too much to add Pleet Roodlepleen-style funny bits.
The bits about magic come from The One Ring, an official Middle Earth product. I do not know if I would do it differently. You probably would tone it down a bit.
