Just so everyone knows. If you have a perk that grants a unique ability/Action, It does not cost a training point to have.

and yes, you can have a basic action with no cooldown that does nothing but damage. I changed that rule yesterday.

Name: The Abominable Snowman (Calls himself snowy (yes, he speaks in third person))
Age: Technically, 2 years since he was created
Gender Male
Sex: Genderless
Personality: Hates humanity, tries to solve everything by violence, destructive, merciless, not too smart.
Appearance: Behold.
Backstory: Once a normal, happy snowman built by an 8 year old boy, Snowy used to enjoy a simple, peaceful, immobile life in a snowy backyard. However, one dreadful day, a dastardly raven stole his carrot nose. He waited for days, without a nose, hoping the little boy would return and give him a new nose. However, he did not do so. Instead, when the little rascal witnessed the horrible disfiguration Snowy had sustained, he mocked him, laughing at his pain. Animated by his own endless rage, Snowy stood up and gathered snow around him to build himself a bigger, better, buffer body, and proceeded to smash the now terrified little boy into bits. After cleaning the blood on his hands, Snowy began roaming the world, destroying whatever he came across. One day, he learnt about Avalon Academy and decided to sign up as a villain trainee, seeking to acquire more power.

Perks: Snow body : Being entirely made of snow and non-organic, The Abominable Snowman is immune to poison, bleeding, sickness, and other ailments that only affect living beings and is healed by Ice/Cold-based attacks. However, he takes double damage from fire based attacks.

Unending Rage : After getting back up whenever his health is depleted, The Abominable Snowman gains +3 power until the end of the current fight (cumulates for each time it happens).

Freezing Aura : The air around The Abominable Snowman is filled with a deep chill, reducing the Athletics of everyone arround him (including allies) by [2*Manipulation].

Overpower : When fighting against enemies with lower power than him, The Abominable Snowman's attacks deal [(TAS' power - Enemy's power) * 15] additional damage.

Abilities: Crushing Blow (Active) : A violent physical blow dealing [2dDetermination/2], no cooldown.

Terrify (Active) : The Abominable Snowman attempts to instill fear in an enemy. If that enemy fails a roll of [Snowy's Power] vs [Enemy's Bravery], he is terrified for 2 turns, leaving him unable to dodge or counterattack and reducing damage they deal to The Abominable Snowman by [Resilience]%. 4 turns cooldown.

Reckless Charge (Active) : The Abominable Snowman rushes towards an enemy, getting close to them if they were out of range and dealing [2dDetermination/2]. If the target fails a roll of [Snowy's Power] vs [Enemy's Fortitude], they are knocked down, leaving them prone and unable to act for 2 turns. 4 turns cooldown.

Frozen Armor (Active) : The Abominable Snowman lowers his body temperature to abysmal levels, making his body sturdier and granting him +5 Fortitude for 3 turns. Enemies attacking or attacked by The Abominable Snowman while he is under the effect of Frozen Armor suffer a penalty of -[Snowy's Manipulation] alertness, reflex and athletics. Fire-based attacks cancel Frozen Armor. 5 turns cooldown.

Blizzard (Active) : The Abominable Snowman unleashes a freezing cold breath, dealing [3dManipulation]. This ability freezes the enemy if they fail a resilience check, rendering them prone and unable to act for 2 turns. If The Abominable Snowman has already had it's HP depleted at least once in the current fight, deals [3dDetermination] instead and the enemy has to do two resilience checks to not be frozen (meaning if they succeed one but fail the other one they're still frozen). 5 turns cooldown.

Equipment/Items:None.

syd and snowy will get along nicely XD

Abilities are a percentage based on the skill they use. if you have 40 in Focus, then your energy ray will do damage based on 40. this could be a 2d20, 1d40, 4d10, etc, so long as the maximum number totals your Power.

I may be wrong, but is there any particular reason you wouldn't use 40d1? There's not a rule against it that I'm seeing...

[Twinwolf]

GM has to accept it, is the main reason

Because you have to use at least d2?

Ah, I didn't see that as an explicit rule, though it would make sense. Where is that listed?

It's not.  The OP is kind of out of date at this point.

If your on the discord, you already know of the change. For those of you who aren't on yet, SKills now have a hard cap of 30 for Rank F. This cap raises each Rank by 10.

Spoiler: Ghost Dude (click to show/hide)

Name: Japik Hansen
Age: 19
Gender Male
Sex: Male
Personality: Japik... is not right in the head. He is obsessed with "legacies of villainy" and being the big bad villain that the heroes must fight, utterly maniacal in his behaviorisms and constantly over the top, complete with an evil grin... which is always a bit wide to look sane, even by a villain's standards. He'll do things that indicate his judgement isn't quite rock-solid, and he's often just a bit too frenetic about the villain thing. Yet, despite his obsession with combating heroes and fulfilling his maniacal legacy of villainy, Japik seems to lack any actual malice whatsoever. He has conversations with people that aren't there -- his ghosts, according to him.
Appearance: Japik stands at 5'9", and is a fairly thin and bony fellow, matching with the whole sinister vibe he seems to want to put off. His hair is bone white and spiky, and his eyes are are a blue color -- far more normal than his hair, to be sure. He wears white and red, even in his casual clothing, and for his combat clothing he's put together an outfit of white with red trim, mystic-looking tidbits (that don't actually have any effect) spangled on the outfit and hanging off of his shoulders. On one shoulder, he has a set of ribbons, one for each of his ghosts.
Backstory: A couple of decades ago, a pair of young, hearty and hale supervillains at the primes of their lives, Mantle (a woman with powerful and versatile magma abilities) and Warlock (a fanciful dark magician) became famous for a couple of things: first of all, being top-class supervillains, engaging in grand fights with superheroes and escaping, and secondly being complete lovebirds. In fact, their love was so that they eventually married and, while still (albeit a little more intermittently) doing their supervillainly things they had and raised a child, young Japik. For a couple of years, things went swimmingly, but as Valentina's power grew and grew the two found themselves increasingly drawn into the struggle, eventually joining Daedalus' Hero-Villain coalition to fight the mad woman. They didn't escape this one.

Four-year-old Japik was left orphaned, and being the child of a pair of supervillains, there weren't many places left for him to go except for a couple of their supervillain friends. Supervillains aren't exactly too mentally stable, and though he avoided outright abuse, Japik's upbringing was far less than stable... and the boy didn't grow up mentally stable, either. Fairly early on, though, he manifested powers: the ability to talk to a few ghosts, and keep them around to summon for powers. His first ghosts were those of his mother and father, and for most of the fifteen years of his life since their death, they've been keeping him company... which has reinforced Japik's frenetic beliefs about "legacies of villainy" and such, and kept wounds that should have been long closed long open. Now, at 19, he's ended up at the doors of Avalon Academy.
