Super Powers
Super Power Points: 55

Energy Utilizing Physiology - A Nova-Enhanced Superhuman's transformation renders them always in the prime of their life. They no longer need to consume food nor burn oxygen to maintain their metabolism. Their cells sustain themselves with the ambient cosmic energies of the Megaversetm itself. The are also capable of consuming energy directed at them and harnessing it to enhance their mutant powers even more or augment their body in various ways, though a sufficient amount can overwhelm this capability. Pure magical and psionic energy is an exception to this. While spell-conjured flames or psionically-generated lightning are still fire and electricity respectively as far as a Nova-Enhanced Superhuman is concerned, things like bolts of raw destructive magic or telekinetic will are beyond their capability of consuming.
  • Absorption: All Energy Power Types [Achilles Heel: Magic and Mental (-1), Additional Power Types (+4), Transmute (+3) ]. (Cost 8) Free Soak roll vs damage from a Power Type; each Wound Soaked generates an Absorption Token for the scene. Tokens add damage, Toughness, or allow a Power Stunt. (Super Powers Companion, page 48)
  • Ageless (Cost 1) The hero never grows old. (Super Powers Companion, page 49)
  • Doesn’t Breathe [Extreme (+1)] (Cost 2) The super doesn’t breathe at all. She isn’t affected by inhaled toxins, can’t drown, and doesn’t suffocate in a vacuum. (Super Powers Companion, page 58)
  • Doesn’t Eat [Extreme (+1)] (Cost 2) The super never needs food
    or water and is completely immune to the effects of Hunger and Thirst. (Super Powers Companion, page 58)
Enhanced Original Powers - The increased energy available to a Nova-Enhanced Superhuman renders their original mutant powers more potent and effective.
  • Environmental Resistance to Electricity, Fire, Force, Light, Radiation, Sound [5 Additional Power Types (+5), Area Effect - Large Blast Template (+4), Immunity (+2), Limitation: Only When Incorporeal (-2)] (Cost 10) Hero is immune to damage and effects from resisted Power Types. (Super Powers Companion, page 61)
  • Intangible [Affects Others (+2)] (Cost 7) Become incorporeal but still affected by the Energy Power Type. (Super Powers Companion, page 68)
  • Invisibility [Projection - Large Blast Template (+6), True Invisibility (+2)] (Cost 16) Target is invisible (-6 to affect). (Super Powers Companion, page 69)
Increased Power Aptitude - With greater awareness of the energies harnessed within them a Nova-Enhanced Superhuman becomes more adept at using his powers and may even be able to regularly utilize formerly rarely achievable applications of them on a regular basis.
  • Selective Intangibility Attack: Renders a portion of a being or object intangible long enough for it to become detached from what it is a part of unless successfully resisted - Decay [Strong (+2)] (Cost 4) Deal a Wound or destroy a Very Small object within 6”. (Super Powers Companion, page 57)
  • Super Skill 5: Focus (Cost 5) Buys or increases a skill & its maximum one die type per level. (Super Powers Companion, page 86)

A seemingly ordinary looking smith's hammer with an ornate handle inlay.
Unique Enchanted Item

Magic Features
• Breaker's Delight: +2 damage to break objects and the damage rolled may ace and a raise on the attack roll adds damage, as normal, contrary to the normal rules for breaking objects.
• Hammer Strikes to Destruction: The hammer excels at destroying inanimate objects. By taking no other actions (including movement), the wielder may bypass and ignore the Armor of inanimate objects and vehicles (not people or the armor they wear) when making a Fighting attack against such an object.
• Master Smith's Restoration: Due to its magical ability to create minor tools and fashion parts, the hammer acts as a field repair kit (TLPG p. 89).
• In Search of a Nail: The hammer urges its wielder to look for solutions that it can solve - and thus the character is ever looking to fixing or breaking things as a solution. This counts as a Quirk Hindrance.


NG LPO Elite Load-Bearing Chest Rig (Patron Item)
Image
Features:
• 12 attachment points
• Characters wearing this coat treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (SWADE page 67). This stacks with Brawny.
• No Minimum Strength Requirement (3 lbs.)
• Integrated IRMSS: 20,000 credits to recharge (TLPG, p.88)
Attachment points can be utilized to carry 1 each of the following item types: sidearm, magazine, E-clip, grenade, canteen, food ration pack, minor items or individual tools.

Re: John Carter - Alternate Future Venator Version

Background

It’s been a little over a decade and a half since John Carter first crashed on Earth. After around five years and change of adventure, exploration and heroics as a member of the Tomorrow Legion he had finally gotten the chance to return home. The Human space nations had won the war against the Arkhons and to the victors went the spoils, which included the aliens' ships and the gravity manipulation technology they came with. Once the FDF had ships with the capability to make a round trip to Earth they wasted little time in contacting their marooned soldier and arranging for a rendezvous. With his long awaited rescue scheduled, John did what he could to take care of any unfinished Tomorrow Legion business he had before resigning from the organization. With his colleagues and superiors still unaware of his true origin, John told them that his father had died and he had to return home to help take care of his ailing mother.

John received a hero’s welcome upon his return to Freedom Station. He was celebrated and admired not just in his own country but throughout the Solar System, not just for his amazing sojourn on Earth but also for his actions on the mission which got him stranded there. It was almost universally believed that if John had not sabotaged relations between the Arkhons and the aliens from the Graveyard Rift then Arkhon access to allies or a new source of supplies could have prolonged the war or even worse. Thanks to his celebrity status as one of the pivotal figures of the war and the first human to go to the Earth’s surface and return since the apocalypse, John got to enjoy a pretty pleasant and prosperous retirement.

John’s rescue would not be the last time ships from orbit visited Earth. The intelligence he had gathered while on the planet, coupled with their new gravity manipulation technology, caused the Human space nations to take an interest in the planet beyond simply maintaining the blockade on it. There were tempting resources and goods on the world that were now within their reach and, thanks to John, they had a much clearer picture of its major powers. After some consideration and debate, they decided the New Navy would be the best organization to approach. It was thought their culture and values, along with their shared heritage with Freedom Station as “fellow Americans,” would make them the most amendable government to deal with.

Their analysis turned out to be correct. After the initial first contact and preliminary talks over radio, diplomats from Freedom Station met in secret with Captain Nemo Dobson onboard the USS Ticonderoga, while his second in command enjoyed the orbital nation’s hospitality as a guest of the President. The negotiations were productive, resulting in a formal trade agreement and alliance between the two parties. One of the major conditions in this arrangement was that the existence of human space civilizations would be classified top secret by the New Navy, known only to those with the highest security clearance in the organization. To the Navy's rank and file the new group they established relations with would be described as an enclave of survivors from pre-apocalypse America who have just recently awakened from cryogenic suspension.

Of course using this cover story meant that Freedom Station first had to establish an outpost on Earth that could be presented as the survivors’ enclave. Because of its uninhabited and isolated circumstances, Southern California was chosen as the ideal site for such an outpost. Los Angeles Air Force Base would be the “enclave” the survivors emerged from. During the period immediately before the apocalypse it was known that the facility was researching the use of cryogenic suspension for use in deep space voyages, so personnel utilizing such technology to survive the end of the world would be plausible. Using robot labor leased from the CAN Republic alongside psychics and superhuman mutants with abilities ideally suited to aid large scale construction projects, it was not too difficult to restore the ruins of the base and repair the nearby Port of Los Angeles facilities to functionality.

As predicted the relationship between the New Navy and Freedom Staion, and through it the other Human space nations, was quite fruitful for all parties involved. What wasn’t predicted was that rumors of a new technologically advanced organization in California would somehow spread and draw merchants, refugees and others seeking opportunities from the rest of the continent and beyond. The small outpost blossomed into a boomtown as people flocked to buy, sell, seek employment and otherwise benefit from living in the vicinity. Despite the inconveniences it caused Freedom Station personnel trying to maintain their cover while smuggling goods to and from orbit without anyone catching on, in the end such a development was viewed favorably by the government. With goods coming in from all over and those settling in the area agreeing to pay taxes the venture had become more lucrative than the various space governments had ever imagined.

By 123 PA Angel Town, as it was now called, had become a thriving cosmopolitan city-state. This fact is what would lead to John Carter's return to Earth. For both economic and humanitarian reasons Freedom Station could not just abandon the city to eventually be overrun by the demons' inevitable westward expansion. But overt intervention such as orbital bombardment would not only violate the treaty it has with the other space nations to maintain the secret of their existence but also could draw the attention of various dangerous and unsavory powers on the planet upward. And it’s not even certain such an intervention would succeed.

So instead the FDF decided to pull a Hail Mary play and called John Carter out of retirement. Intelligence sources in Angel Town had informed them that there was an effort to assemble a group of remarkable people together to stop the demon horde and maybe even drive them back. Who better to have on that team to covertly funnel it FDF intelligence and assistance than the operative with the most experience traveling North America and dealing with its myriad dangers, the Man Who Fell To Earth?

John had no objections to being reactivated and sent back down to Earth. When he left the planet he thought that, despite the terrible conditions in much of the world, things were headed in the right direction thanks to The Tomorrow Legion. He liked to think his own efforts for the organization contributed to that trend. So hearing the current developments below alarmed and saddened him. Not only did he want to go down and help neutralize the demon threat but he also wanted to find any friends and colleagues from his Legion days who had managed to survive and do what he could for them.

The only thing he was concerned about was that he might not be capable of giving meaningful assistance to the group being assembled. He worried that age and more than a decade of luxurious living had made him too soft and rusty to keep up with whoever he’d be working with. So in order to make sure he'd be a capable asset he volunteered to undergo a procedure developed in the last years of the Arkon War called the Nova Treatment.

The Nova Treatment involved injecting a superhuman mutant subject with a cocktail of drugs and synthetic hormones tailor-made for their specific genetic and biochemical profile, then bombarding them with steadily increasing levels of cosmic rays. The chemical cocktail was to render the mutant’s physiology malleable to adaptation, while the ray bombardment stimulated it to increase the mutant's natural capacity to draw upon and harness cosmic energy to fuel their powers. The actual results were mixed. Two thirds of those who underwent treatment enjoyed the desired changes. The other third suffered an unstable metamorphosis in which the increase in their ability to draw upon cosmic energies outpaced their ability to control them. The potency of their powers increased, making them highly effective assets in the war, but eventually the energies they channeled would overwhelm and consume them in a devastating explosion.

Fortunately for John, his treatment was a resounding success. His body was restored to its prime condition and his powers of intangibility and invisibility had greatly increased. Feats he could only achieve occasionally, such as rendering other people intangible or expanding his invisibility field to encompass an area, were now easily accomplished. Now more powerful than he had ever been before, John gathered his more useful souvenirs from Earth, requisitioned his old gear from those days, and took the next ship down to the planet.

@Technospawn Did not realize till I read it on Discord that the 10x starting wealth applied to the money you got from the Rich Edge too. Once I found out here's what I decided to buy with the 225,000 credits I had left. Just wanted you to check it out to see if you have any problems with any of my purchases. Once they're approved I'll add them to John's Gear Post above.

EDIT: Misremembered how much money you got from Rich. Corrected to reflect what I decided to buy with the 135,0000 credits I had left.

Multi-Optics Helmet: This helmet - compatible with EBA systems (see Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide, page 88) - includes a targeting sight, magnification, thermal, infrared, ultraviolet, and night optics. The wearer ignores Illumination penalties, gains +2 to sight-based Notice checks or to offset Range penalties, and +1 Shooting with calibrated weapons. The helmet includes a hands-free radio (10-mile range) and megaphone voice-projection system. It provides +4 Armor and +2 Toughness to the head only, and can integrate into body armor helmets for an extra 500 credits (5lb, 25,000 credits, 500 credits for integration, total cost 25,500 credits)

Multi-Optics Helmet Sensor Array Upgrade: This upgrade to a standard Multi-Optics Helmet not only provides increased visual acuity compared to a standard helmet but also enhanced hearing capability thanks to an embedded microphone array and audio processor unit that renders faint sounds audible while canceling out excess ambient noise that would otherwise drown other sounds out or render them unintelligible. (Major Superscience Upgrade: Alertness - 25,000 credits, Minor Superscience Upgrade: +1 Notice - 5,000 credits, Minor Superscience Upgrade: +1 Notice - 5,000 credits, total cost 35,000 credits)

Multi-Optics Helmet Risk Analysis Micro-Comp Upgrade: A dedicated micro-computer loaded with sophisticated risk analysis software. The computer gathers data from the helmet’s visual and audio feeds, local radio activity and even the wearer’s reactions to stimuli through sensors which monitor brain activity and other vital signs. It then analyzes all this data, utilizing advanced pattern recognition, behavioral evaluation and threat assessment algorithms. This enables it to compile an accurate simulation of the wearer’s current circumstances and calculate the probabilities of potential events in the immediate future, allowing it to alert its wearer to imminent danger enough time in advance for them to be ready for it, and to possibly even react beforehand. (Major Superscience Upgrade: Danger Sense - 25,000 credits, Major Superscience Upgrade: Sixth Sense - 25,000 credits, total cost 50,000 credits)

N-F10A Light Force Field: Runs off an E-Clip for 12 hours, and provides +2 Toughness while activated (8lb., Rarity -4, Restricted, 50,000 credits, 50,000 credits to integrate into armor, total cost 100,000 credits)

2 3 extra E-clips (10,000 credits) (15,000 credits)

400 more WI-10 Ramjet Rounds (2d12+2 MD, AP: 8, Hyperkinetic- Ignore Sloped Armor, 4000 credits)

6,000 credits remaining

Re: John Carter - Alternate Future Venator Version

@Venator John Carter To use super science items you need to post them in item creation for other GMs to approve. We normally like to get 2 or 3 yeses.

Also you can not upgrade an upgraded item. So you will have to write it up as 1 item with a total of 2 minor and 2 major.
GM Stuff
Initiative

Code: Select all

[b][color=#BF0000] Initiative[/b]
I will roll 1d56 for each of your initiative cards. I do not reroll duplicates, instead there are 2 extra Joker positions. Ties can be broken by an athletics roll.
[list][*][b]Lowest card goes first[/b]
[*][b]Quick rerolls 41 or higher[/b]
[*]1, 2, 3, 4 are considered Jokers
[*]Cards divisible by 4 are considered Clubs for hindrances affected by Clubs (excepting 4 which is a joker).[/list][/color][/b]

All right, made a version that conformed to those parameters and submitted SARAH to the Item Creation thread.
