Welcome, to Heroic Expedient Response Operation, or HERO for short (clever, I know), a game I had been threatening to run procrastinating on talking about running for a while now. Thank you, and have a pleasant stay.

Spoiler: THE SETTING (click to show/hide)

The year is 20XX. The place, Megalopolis F. Twenty years have passed since the Turning Point, bringing monsters, both of human and inhuman form, into the world. It also brought into the world heroes, mundane and otherwise, to fight against them. The Heroic Union was established mere months after the Turning Point, coming together to form a solid base of operations for heroes throughout the many cities to band against the villainous and monstrous threats that endanger humanity; though some remain out of the reach of the Union, preferring their own company or a smaller group.

You are but one of many heroes in the city. Whether with the Union or working independently, you are one of the many protectors of humanity. Your task is clear. The only thing left to decide is how to execute it.

Spoiler: THE STATS (click to show/hide)

Level: 1
XP: 0
HP: 30+(RES+Level). You gain (RES+New Level) HP every level up.
Init: 1d20+Agi
Defense: RES/2(rounded down when necessary)

Stat Points: 28/28 points to assign. The total points one may place in a single stat is 6+Level.
Physical Attack: Determines the strength of physical (i.e. swords or punches) attacks.
Agility: Determines speed and dodging skill. Used in rolling for initiative.
Special Attack: Determines the strength of non-physical (i.e guns, magic) attacks.
Fame/Infamy: Determines your relationship with the public and how much they respect you or you intimidate them.
Knowledge: Determines your knowledge of the field.
Resilience: Determines your resistance to attack. (Every RES point equates to 1 HP, every 2 RES points adds one point to your defense rating.)

Spoiler: LEVELLING UP (click to show/hide)

LEVEL UP:
Every 100 XP garners a new level. This increases your health and your stat cap, as well as granting the character 4 points to be assigned in every stat and the potential for either an existing skill to be buffed or a new skill to be added. Every level that is a multiple of five, one may also take a new perk.

Spoiler: THE HEALTH POINTS (click to show/hide)

Your health marks your vitality. At 0 Health, you are rendered unconscious. Your health will drain at 1 HP initially, increasing by 1 every turn you are left unattended. If you reach -15 HP, you are dead permanently. An enemy who attacks you can hasten the process.

Spoiler: THE STUNTS (click to show/hide)

The excellence one shows in battle has more effects than merely looking impressive. An excellently written action in battle may boost damage, increase one’s fame or infamy temporarily or even aid another person’s roll. Similarly, an excellently written crafting description may add a significant bonus to the result. All of this is dependent on the GM’s discretion.

Spoiler: THE COMBAT (click to show/hide)

Combat is to be determined by rolling Weapon Damage Die+Relevant Attack Stat against the enemy’s Resilience. If abilities have their own die roll, that will be used in lieu of weapon damage die. Dodging is impossible, bar having an ability or piece of equipment that allows it, or the enemy’s skill allowing for a potential miss.

Spoiler: THE EQUIPMENT (click to show/hide)

A Hero or Villain is sometimes just as defined by his clothes as he is by his acts.
A piece of equipment can either be Modifiable, allowing for one to make additions to it through crafting with knowledge, or Chosen, levelling up with the wielder at the cost of actual modifications later. A hero/villain can use both types of Equipment, however. There are three types: Armour, Weapons and Accessories, which should be entirely self-explanatory.
Unarmed attacks deal 1d5 unless otherwise specified; yes, unarmed fighters, that means you’ll have to stat up your ‘weapons’.

Damage and Defense Bonuses taken as 1d8 and 2 RES unless otherwise specified by the GM.

Spoiler: THE SKILLS AND PERKS (click to show/hide)

SKILLS/PERKS:
Skills are your Hero/Villain’s abilities, passive and active, to execute in combat. These can do anything from allowing him to stop time temporarily to giving him a minor bonus in resisting gamma rays. You start with 6 skills.

Example Skills:
Puppet Sword: Stabs through an opponent with a sword wielded as if on a puppet string. Does 1d10 damage. (Phys)
I Am Invincible: Your overconfidence manages to aid your ability to take actual hits. Damage from ranged attacks is reduced by 10%. (Passive)
Burst Laser: Blasts through an opponent with a searing laser, dealing 1d8 damage and having a 10% chance of a burn. (Special)
Power Charge: Amplifies the power of the next physical attack by the user by 1.4x.
No Really, I AM Invincible: Negates all damage done to you during a turn. One-turn cooldown.
I Summon Thee: Summons one’s servant to battle. Cannot be used again until the servant is defeated.
Henshin Form: Transforms the user into a different form with the same stats and the appearance of a heroic, masked warrior. They have a different moveset in this form.

Your Perks grant powerful passive boons, from a new, unique ability, to a large bonus that change your character and help to further distinguish them from others. You start with 3 perks.

Example Perks:
100 Squats, 100 Pushups, 10 Kilometer Runs: Your intense training grants you immense strength. Your physical attacks deal x1.5 more damage.
Heaven-Piercing Destiny: Your will is unmatched by any, and your drive to pierce the heavens unrivalled. When under 50% health, you gain x2 to all damage for three turns.
Beautiful Hero: As befitting of a hero, you are the fairest of them all. 1.5x Fame while dealing with groups of people.
Protector of Men: Your prowess in military feats is unmatched by any other hero. When commanding other heroes/villains, your Fame/2 is added to their attack stats while rolling.
Sentai: You have the ability to transform into a heroic masked warrior. Grants the ability Henshin Form, allowing them to access a different form with the same stats and different skills.

Spoiler: THE SUMMONS (click to show/hide)

SUMMONS:
Some heroes rely on their magic or their wargear to fight for them. As such, summons can be utilised. One can choose from four types of summons:

-Partner: The summon you bring is your partner in battle. Although weaker than you, the summon can nonetheless fight with you. This summon must start with 24 points.
-Protector: You are far weaker than anything you can bring to bear, but these powerful summons you field are capable of fighting for you. In exchange for having halved starting points on your character, your summon may start with 28 points.
-Swarm: You rely on outnumbering your enemies with force you bring to bear. You may start out with 2 summons, each only having 20 points to assign for stats. The more summons you add to this, your summons lose 2 points to assign in their stat pools. They may also only carry 2 skills and lack perks regardless of number.
-Other: Or perhaps your template is different? This is up to GM discretion.

Partners and Swarm-type summons can only level up if the action to summon them has been levelled up. Protectors can level up with the wielder.

Here's My sheet~ Backstory is done, Now just to do Perks, Stats, Equipment....

Spoiler: Yosuba "The Eleventh" Kyoko (click to show/hide)

Name: Yosuba "The Eleventh" Kyoko
Age: 23
Race: Mutant Human/ Scientific Experiment
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Description: An average girl with black hair and a meek demeanor. She suffers from a rare form of Heterochromia iridum, which causes her eyes to change colors whenever she blinks. She wears dark clothing most of the time, and tends to wear anime-esque hoodies all the time.
Personality: Timid, Shy but surprisingly outgoing when with friends, Yosuba tends to be a loner, but will often break out of her shell if she meets someone who shares one of her interests.

When Yosuba was just a child she awakened her ability to use directional teleportation. Her parent's, utterly disgusted and afraid of their daughter, sent Yosuba off to a less than reputable orphanage for "gifted children." It was here that Yosuba underwent intense pain and experimentation, constantly having her body broken and repaired just to see "what she was capable of." Seeing that she was receptive to chemicals, modifications, and alterations, the scientists implanted special Tesla hard-points into her spine. Teaching her how to access these additions, as well as continually modifying her normal bone structure, Yosuba learned to generate and use the electricity her body produced in excess, becoming a living lightning rod. Tired and hurt, and somewhat insane due to the experimentation, Yosuba went rogue, creating the anti-hero, Voltage. Voltage went out of control, Sending super charged bolts of lightning at anyone who got in her way.

A month later and many people killed in search for the last remaining scientist who created her, Voltage was interrupted by Contagion, who, not wanting competition in his job, decided that Voltage needed to be stopped. The fight began, with voltage attempting to fry Contagion. Unknown to Voltage, Contagion had been at this for far longer than her, and the fight was quickly finished, with Yosuba passed out from energy fatigue and the gas used by Contagion. Seeing that she was still a kid, he took her back to his hideout, intent on channeling her rage and fear into a less destructive and more helpful outlet. Years later, Yosuba had finally been cured of her broken sanity. Parting ways with Contagion, Yosuba tried to build a normal life for herself, eventually going to a good college and graduating with a Bachelors in art and design and a Bachelors in electrical engineering. She was still far less trusting of people due to her early childhood, but she coped.

It was right after she turned 23 that she developed her next identity, Pathfinder. She rediscovered her directional teleportation, and, after a long Role-playing session with a few of her friends, she decided that becoming a hero like Contagion suggested might actually be a worthwhile endeavor. After a long sewing session, a few gleamed research ideas, and a sudden spending spree, Pathfinder was finally ready to do some good. She learned she was able to teleport small objects to locations within her field of view and became an able scout and quickly rose to a favorite of heroes and information brokers looking for extra help. It wasn't to last, as most happy endings are, when a new enemy showed themselves in the form of "The Twelfth" a villain with augments built to counter her own. Realizing that the scientist who had escaped her vengeance had tortured another child, Yosuba quickly attempted to escape knowing that Twelfth, going under the moniker "Taimat", would outright win against her no matter what. It was not to be that easy, as Taimat had her own unique powers which allowed her to redirect Yosuba's teleportation. Defeated and almost dead, Yosuba reverted back to Voltage, and initiated a Nova Pulse, which utterly destroyed the towns electric grid and killed thousands of innocents, including her friends. Taimat retreated limp and wounded, and Yosuba escaped, trying to find someplace safe.

Spoiler: Identity: Pathfinder (click to show/hide)

Name: Pathfinder
Description: A old school ranger who is able to find hidden access points to hard to reach areas. She uses a bow as her signature weapon and with supernatural accuracy, able to hit a target from anywhere so long as she can see them.
Personality: Careful, calculating and precise, Pathfinder is a collected individual who knows the importance of teamwork. She tends to stick to the scouting jobs and information gathering roles due to her unique nature. Pathfinder is Yosuba's normally sane Persona, which uses her Directional Teleportation as her gimmick.

Spoiler: Identity:Voltage (click to show/hide)

Name: Pathfinder
Description: A half insane yosuba who wears a half face gas-mask as a reminder of her sanity. She wields an unknown number of throwing knives and needles as weapons, firing them at super charged speeds while changing the impact point to prevent enemy defenses from blocking them.
Personality: Voltage is an Anti-hero through and through, not caring about if her attacks kill civilians or bad guys. If they get in the way of her goal, then they are expendable. Voltage had been sealed away thanks to the tutelage of Contagion, but resurfaced due to the attack by Taimat. Yosuba does not like to rely on Voltage, but she has already accepted that Voltage will always be a part of her being.

Spoiler: Perks (click to show/hide)

Electrically charged: Immunity to electrical attacks.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Spoiler: Totally not a Kamen Rider. (click to show/hide)

Name: Unknown. Their codename as assigned by the Union (for record-keeping purposes; they are not affiliated with the Union) is Argent Gale.
Age: Unknown.
Race: Unknown. It is theorised that Argent Gale is actually a robot in disguise. If they are human under that mask, they're not saying anything about it.
Gender/Sex: Unknown.
Description: In public, they only appear with their distinctive set of gear upon their motorcycle, dubbed the Quicksilver.

Their helmet covers their whole head, and is silver in colour. Their eyes are hidden by a green visor through which they can see, and the lower half of the helmet is covered by a golden plate. Two silver triangles are at the top of the helmet, resembling stylized 'ears'. Their neck is protected by a long red scarf, trailing behind their back like a cape. A light, armoured silver vest reaches down their torso, split apart in the middle to reveal the tough yet flexible dark blue material underneath, with a stylized wheel engraved onto each side of the vest in halves. Their gauntlets and greaves are similarly made of silver metal, with metal plates covering their hips and thighs. Along their waist, they wear an argent belt with a small, hand-sized device with a stylized cyclone embossed on it in the centre. Along each side, two metal holsters carry Argent's Dual Rouzers, resembling the holsters the heroes of old cowboy movies wore. Their greaves seem to have horse-spurs on the heels, too.

Quicksilver: It appears to be a normal motorcycle, with the wheels protected by silver plates and the argent-colored body resembling a crouching dragon. The motorcycle, however, has been destroyed many times and always is available for Argent Gale to use by the next fight; it is unknown how. There also seems to be a special key slot and a strange screen in the middle acting as both the gauge for the bike's fuel and it seems however Argent keeps it keyed to themselves.

Perks:
Mysterious Being(?): It is unknown what this person really is under that suit. They always have new surprises. Argent Gale possesses immunity to poison, radiation, fall damage and burning.

Unknown Rider: Their reputation resides on their mastery of riding as a form. Grants the Unique Skill Summon Quicksilver that does not take up a skill slot, allowing them to summon their bike into the fray.

Combat Mastery: Their skills in combat are honed with their many appearances. Attacks from Argent Gale deal x1.5 damage after other multipliers. Also, strength rolls gain +5.

Determination of the Rider: Their inability to give up in battle is part of their identity. 200% bonus to resisting mental effects, and their health drain when unconscious is halved.

Uncanny Form: Their body is more resilient than any normal human's. 25% resistance to small arms fire, electricity and magnetism-based attacks.

Flaws:
Uncanny Valley: With such an elusive identity comes the discomfort of others. -5 Roll penalty to Fame/Infamy checks.

Dark Past: Their past haunts them dearly. At 5% health, Attack stats are halved.
Equipment:
Weapon Name: Rider Arms: Dual Rouzers
Weapon Damage: 1d8 (Ranged)
Type: Chosen
Effects: -Unusual Ammo: Normal attacks equate to rifle fire. Other ammunition is decided by their skills. Unless switching to Arcana Chariot for the Gambit Rouzer, or Piercing Bolt and Gale Scanner for the Jester Rouzer, ammunition switching for each skill takes one turn. They can actually do something apart from reload, but they will be unable to utilise the skills they're changing ammo for.
-Intrinsic: Only Argent Gale can use the Rouzers unless they permit others to use them, and even if destroyed, they will always have a new pair by the next fight.
Description: Two sleek, futuristic-looking firearms. Both seem to have a small screen where the sights would be placed, which seems to tell Argent Gale what ammo is currently loaded into each gun. The Gambit Rouzer uses Gambit Arms, tarot-based ammunition native to the kit, and is sleeker than its partner with a thinner barrel. The Jester Rouzer uses Jester Arms, abilities subsumed using the Rider System, and is thicker and bulkier, resembling some larger handguns. Both Rouzers resemble slightly bulkier revolvers.

Weapon Name: Rider Arms: Melee Gear
Weapon Damage: 1d8 (Physical)
Type: Chosen
Effects: -Intrinsic: These are tied to Argent Gale's armour and cannot be removed.
Description: Their hands and feet, perfectly good weapons for if shooting with the Dual Rouzers won't work.

Armour Name: Rider Armour
Type: Chosen
Effects: Resistant: 25% Resistance to Radiation, Burning, Acids and Small Arms Fire.
-Intrinsic: The armour is very resistant to damage. Only Argent Gale can wear it and indeed has never been seen out of it.
Defense Bonus: 2 RES, 1 AGI
Description: See description.

Accessory Name: Rider System
Type: Chosen
Effects: Synchronisation: Allows Argent Gale to scan enemies they defeat, allowing them to store certain attacks. (Allows for the use of Jester Arms.)
Description: Not so much visible, it is nonetheless a vital part of Argent Gale's arsenal to have a system tying their abilities together.

Accessory Name: Rider Scanner
Type: Chosen
Effects: Aim Assistance: +1 Special Attack per two levels. (Current bonus: 1).
Description: A function of their helmet, allowing them to boost the attacks of their Rider Arms.

Final Gambit Arms: Judgement Cannon: Argent Gale pours their power into a final, powerful attack by charging their Dual Rouzers with the power of all the Gambit Arms and Jester Arms they have amassed and unleashing a powerful combined-energy attack. This attack does a base of x3 damage, and gains x.2 more damage per Gambit Arms and Jester Arms attained, not counting the current Arms. Once per battle, must wait five turns to execute. (Special)
- Quicksilver: Final Gambit Arms: Lightspeed Judgement Ray: Damage ignores resistance.

- Unique Skill: Summon Quicksilver: Allows Argent Gale to call in their bike, Quicksilver, into the fray. The bike doubles their current Agility, multiplies defense by x1.5 and adds new effects to all of their attacks. The bike runs out of fuel after three turns and must spend three turns recharging. Can only be summoned after five turns have passed.

Character.

Spoiler: Nicole Black (click to show/hide)

Name: Nicole Black. She has not been with the Union long enough to be assigned a super hero name.
Age: 20
Race: Human. Arguably.
Gender/Sex: Female/Female
Description:
Nicole is a woman of average height with long and curly black hair with gold streaks, and silver eyes. She generally goes for comfortable and... admittedly less than modest clothing when out of combat, and... actually pretty much the same in combat. In regards to features and certain other... assets, she is rather attractive.

Perks:
Strength in Numbers: Nicole’s specialty is group combat. When with at least two other heroes, she adds a number equal to her level to all stats.

Supernaturally Fit: Nicole is stronger than any normal human being, due to her innate supernatural power. 1.5 times the physical damage, and recover 10% HP per turn.

Super Toughness: Nicole is also supernaturally tough. At least against physical damage. 25% less damage from physical attacks and immunity to poison.

Complications:
None

Equipment:

Weapon Name: Magic Daggers
Type: Chosen
Weapon Damage: 1d8 (Physical)
Effects: Strikes twice, but the individual attacks miss if they roll a one.
Description: Two identical knives of a black metal, glowing with supernatural power. A friend made them.

Armour Name: Natural Barrier
Type: Chosen
Effects: 25% resistance to small arms and fire. Can not be removed.
Defense Bonus: +2 Res, +1 Physical attack
Description: Nicole’s innate power manifests at almost all times as a barrier to damage, especially projectile weaponry and flame. Since this is a part of her, it can’t be removed.

Accessory Name: Dark Wings
Type: Chosen
Effects:
Part of the Body: These are physical parts of Nicole’s body, and can’t be removed.
Flight: They are wings. What do you think they do? +3 Agility in combat, and 25% boost to dodging, and the ability to fly.
Description: Dark colored wings sprouting from Nicole’s back. She can fold them up, because otherwise doors would be difficult. While they should be too small to allow flight, they are magic, so that doesn’t really apply.

Weapon Damage: Nicole intentionally hits the opponent’s weapon, breaking, cracking, or otherwise damaging it through her magic. Subtract Nicole’s Special Attack plus level from the enemy’s damage rolls for three turns.

Flurry: Nicole attacks several times in quick succession. Add 1 to the number of attacks she does this round, to a maximum of 4.

Precision Strike: Nicole aims for the weakest spot she can find. Only one attack, but if it hits it does 2.5 times the damage. If it rolls 3 or lower, it misses.

Other:
Nicole was an odd child. As are most people who were born the day of the Turning Point. While she began life relatively normal, she was always a bit different than the other kids. She never got sick, wounds had a tendency to heal much faster than they should, and she was far more athletic than kids three years older. Odd, but not overly strange. Until puberty hit, that is. In addition to the normal… developments, her bone structure began to change; she was growing wings. Her parents had always known there was something strange about her; it’d be difficult to believe she was normal, given her date of birth. They were supportive. Other people... varied. There were quite a few people who bullied her because she was different. And likewise a few people who thought it was cool and became her close friends. At age 18, Nicole graduated and began to work as a hero; she had the powers, may as well use them for good. She didn’t join the union until 20, though; she wanted to have some field experience before she officially registered.

Original character, but USEC never finished her twin.

Spoiler: Old Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Mystral Rook. Her Union-assigned superhero name that she never uses is ‘Silver Blade’.
Age: 22
Race: Human.
Gender/Sex: Female, to both things.
Description:
Mystral is rather tall and slim, with short silver hair just brushing her shoulders and bright blue eyes. She is quite attractive, in regards to both facial features and… certain other assets.
When not going out hero-ing, she generally wears stylish and comfortable clothes. She makes no attempts to hide her identity, if secret identities are even a thing.
When she is doing her job, she wears armor that resembles the full steel plate of old, and ties her hair back in a ponytail to avoid being grabbed.

Perks:

Twin Power: Mystral and Nolon draw a notable amount of power from each other, as if the two halves of the power are trying to reunite. When fighting together, all stats increase by a number equal to her level.

Supernaturally Fit: Mystral’s strength is due to her intense training regiment, augmented by her innate magic power. 1.5 times the physical damage.

Super Toughness: Mystral is also supernaturally tough. At least against physical damage. 25% less damage from physical attacks and immunity to poison.

Fusion: Mystral and her brother’s powers are intrinsically linked. Their powers were originally one and the same, and under certain conditions, can be so once again. Mystral and her brother can join together for a short time, becoming much more powerful than either of them were apart.
Grants the unique action “Fuse”, only useable when Mystral and her brother are both at 50% HP or lower, and the enemy has 40% health or higher remaining. If they are both at less than or equal to 20% HP, they can  use it regardless of enemy HP. If they both use this ability, they fuse into a single character, with stats and skills equivalent to a character two levels higher than Mystral and her brother, with HP equal to both of the remainders combined. This character also has two actions per turn. The fusion lasts for five turns, after which they split again, splitting the remaining health between them. Once per battle.

Complications:
Linked Power: As she gets stronger with her brother, she gets weaker without him. If she is not fighting with her brother, she loses a number from all her stats equal to her level.

Equipment:

Weapon Name: Heroic Twinblade
Type: Chosen
Weapon Damage: 1d8 (Physical)
Effects: Strikes twice, but the individual attacks miss if they roll a one.
Description: A double bladed sword, of a strange metal lighter and stronger than any naturally occurring weapons grade metal, although the color is that of silver.

Armour Name: Light Plate
Type: Chosen
Effects: 25% resistance to small arms and fire.
Defense Bonus: +2 Res, +1 Physical attack
Description: A piece of defensive equipment resembling the steel plate of the past, but lighter and stronger than any natural metal, to the degree it doesn’t even slow Mystral down. If anything, she seems stronger when she wears it.

Accessory Name: Strange Gem
Type: Chosen
Effects:
---Set: This gem cannot be removed, unless Mystral has perished. If this happens and her brother is alive, only he can remove it. If they are both dead, anyone can remove it, but it is now powerless.
---Strange Magics: The gem allows Mystral to fly, through ancient magics. +3 Agility in combat, and 25% boost to dodging.
Description: A strange, iridescent gem, seemingly set in place over Mystral’s heart.

Deals three times damage, based on the combined damage roll of Mystral and Nolon. Does half physical damage, half special damage. If there is more than one enemy the enemy targeted is defeated, then one other enemy is hit for half of the dealt damage. Cooldown of 4 turns.

Other:
Mystral and her brother had lived an almost normal life, until 10 years after the Turning Point, when they were twelve. A monster attacked their home and killed both of their parents. It had been about to kill them, too, when a Hero who used both magic and brute strength burst in and started fighting it. The hero defeated it, but was mortally wounded in the process. As he was dying, he transferred his power to the twins, split half and half. Mystral got most of the physical powers, while her brother got most of the magic. Of course, there was some overlap. They swore to learn to use their power for the good of mankind, and began training. The Union took them in. Whether it was to facilitate their training as heroes, or as compensation for the hero not arriving in time, it’s impossible to say.

I'm gonna go with a tentative 'maybe' on the increase, and a definite 'no' on removal.

You would be right.

[Twinwolf]

Hey, would it be possible to have a set of twins as a character, but only one of them can be in combat at a time apart from theoretical finishing moves/stunts?

[SOLDIER First]

In a similar vein of this, would it be possible to have a Hero with a Partner, and the Partner speaks for the Hero?

Be a bit more specific on this, would you? Are you trying to have two different characters but saying you can only use on at a time? Or something else?

In a similar vein of this, would it be possible to have a Hero with a Partner, and the Partner speaks for the Hero?

Hmm... Same problem as above. Is it that only the Hero can fight?
