Hero Maker Mk. III

[Tearen Wover]

Welcome Hero Maker mk. III

Here you will find a Comprehensive* system for randomly generating folks of the super powered kind.


Roll 1d6 to determine number of powers, then roll 1d4 to determine if you have a weakness. A roll of 4 requires you to roll on the weakness tree. A power roll of 5 or 6 automatically requires you to roll on the weakness tree.

After determining powers and weaknesses, roll once on the Origins table to reveal the source of your powers.

These tables are not designed to be fully comprehensive of all possible powers and combinations. It is an exercise in exploring how you can tie random character elements together into a cohesive narrative.

Clearly the rolls here are not using standard d20 dice. You'll have to use a digital die roller.

List the heroes you come up with below! Remember, the first one you generate is the powers you would really get if this was really real for real. :frog:

For powers, I got Weather Control, Radioactive Manipulation, Astral Projection, Flight, Animal Empathy, Necrotic Melee.

My weakness is Monstrous Rage.

My powers are from an Angelic Oath.

I am Bethselamin, the Disciple of Repose.

Born into a life of poverty, Samuel Hadanna was taken into a monastery run by a sect of Monks who revered the natural world as sacred and in need of protecting. Taking on the name Bethselamin, the young boy quickly internalised the holy naturalists' dogma.

After leading a long, full life of devout worship and sacrifice, Bethselamin, or 'Selam' to his friends, eventually fell ill from an unknown ailment. Accepting that his time in the living world was over, Selam passed away and was greeted at the Pearly Gates by the Angel of Death; Maschit. There, Selam was offered a choice; ascend to the highest heaven, or live among the people of the Lord's Earth, as a herald and divine hand. Always eager to serve on the Lord's behalf, Bethselamin chose the latter and was returned to the world of the living, healthy and strong...but also more.

His angelic connections to the world gave him intuitive control over the weather, and the ability to summon the beasts of the earth as allies in his times of need. This was on top of his already angelic traits of having functional wings and the ability to traverse the spirit world on a whim. It was given as his duty to ensure the natural cycle of life and death was preserved in the world, and that the natural earth was not twisted by man.

All was not entirely well, however. It wasn't long before Bethselamin discovered that he must be ever-vigilant of his thoughts and emotions. Wrath driven by anger, or any thought of egregious violence warps the gifts bestowed by Maschit, turning him into a rampaging avatar of destruction. 

In this form, waves of natural, yet very deadly waves of radiation wash outwards from his body, incinerating most things in his immediate vicinity. In addition, the Angel of Death's influence becomes so unrestrained, that his very limps and rot and destroy living tissue at a touch.

Horrified of the potential of this dark side, Bethselamin must struggle to remain serene and kind, all while battling against those who would disrupt the natural order...

Origin

Intense Training, with Luffy


Rose Lanyi was a monk that trained at the base of the tallest mountain in Quotin. Her connection with her inner demonic being a rigorous training allowed her to channel dark energy to her fists.

Orphaned at a young age, she was supposed to become a priestess of Nyx. Rose was too much of a free spirit to settle for such a quiet life though, and instead become a monk. She trained with her masters daily, learning they deadly arts of fist fighting.

My Powers are: Infector and Jumping

My Weakness is: Physically deformed

My Origin is: Mutation

Sweet, I can work with this!

My name is Harold Armstrong. If you are reading this, it means that I am dead, and my lawyer has passed this onto you, my only surviving relative. You may be wondering who I am, as you may never have heard of me before. Do you remember that creature on the news with a head sticking out of it's back instead of on it's shoulders, and an extra pair of arms growing out of it's nipples? Yeah, that's me. 

It's a lot to take in, I understand. But to you, my relative, I will explain how this all came to be. 

You see, I was not always a mutated freak of nature. Once, I was a normal human like you. I lived a normal life, I was a banker, I had a wife with a daughter on the way, life could not be more perfect. And then they came. Men in black suits who emerged from shadows. They kidnapped me, and took me to this strange vat of glowing green sludge. They through me, chains and all, into the vat, leaving me to die. 

Except I didn't die. I became... Stronger. Better. But it came at a price. I could spread sickness at a faster rate than the black plague, and I could jump as well as a flea, but I was mutated beyond all recognition. 

So as my last warning to you, I tell you who did this to me. The organization that caused my mutation. They call themselves... The EPA.



P.S. There's roughly 87 million dollars in my vault in the secret passage under my desk. Code is 875-375-847

Vapeticus
Disciple of the Vape Nation

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

POWERS
Smoke/Vapor Generation
Radioative Manipulation

ORIGIN
Spiritual Enlightenment

Born as a mere mortal Charlie Engles never had grand aspirations in live. He was very much so an average child, never excelling at anything in particular, but staying above baseline mediocrity. After graduating highschool Charlie was accepted to a college in Colorado and, having nothing better to do, left his home in search of a higher education. One could argue that this was the greatest decision he had ever made. 

Despite the new change of scenery Charlie continued to place in the middle of the pack in just about everything he ever did. It was during a field trip for Geology 101 (a class that he intended to take as an easy A) that he was separated from the group and became lost in the mountains of Colorado. For three days and three nights he wandered about, surviving off the land and what meager rations remained in his backpack. On the third day, starving and delirious, Charlie stumbled upon a small cabin hidden within the mountains. Hoping to find at least shelter if not a friendly face Charlie approached the cabin. It looked ancient, and above the threshold of the door a sign hung that read "VAPE NATION". He knocked on the door and an old voice answered, "come in."

Inside he was greeted first by a wall of grey smoke followed by the sound of chilled-out grooves. Once his eyes adjusted to the dank he could see what appeared to be a museum of sorts. Glass display cases protected ancient artifacts, each of which appeared to be made from hand-blown glass. Strings of lights hung from the ceiling and bathed the room in a green glow. At the far end of the cabin an old man that looked to be a cross between Leo from "That 70s Show" and Mr. Miyagi. Before Charlie's eyes the old master inhaled from the tip of a black plastic box and then proceeded to exhale the fattest cloud that the college-aged kid had ever seen. He had seen the mystical art of vaping before, but he had never witnessed a cloud so dank. The old master offered Charlie a drag and the boy gladly took it. As the cloud filled his lungs so it did to his stomach, the wicked rips sustained him and cleared his mind. 

Only #VapeGod knows how long they spent together in those mountains, but one day Charlie awoke a changed man. He was no longer your average college kid, he Vapeticus, master of the fattest rips. The cabin was gone, but the old master's teachings were not. Now armed with the power to generate the sickest and most dangerous vapes known to mankind Vapeticus seeks to travel the world and spread the good word of Vape Nation, one cloud at a time.
