[quote=@MagratheanWhale] [@Clever Hans] First draft, how does it look thus far? [u][b]Hero Name:[/b][/u] The Pun-isher [u][b]Real Name:[/b][/u] Sebastian Dawson [u][b]Physical Description:[/b][/u] Short in height, standing no taller than six foot two, Sebastian is the type of man that blends into many crowds. He chose his costume to reflect this nature, with bright blue pants and an obscure white T-shirt with the words “pun-isher” sewed on with black threads. He wears a fake handlebar mustache and fake glasses to obscure his identity. [u][b]Physical Description out of costume:[/b][/u] Normaly seen wearing his work clothes, simple blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt that reads Really Reliable Electronics. [u][b]Clichés:[/b][/u] [i][b]Sin-tilating Jokes (4)[/b][/i] – His early career as a comedian, and subsequently being forced out of town at pitchfork-point after one of his many disastrous performances, have given him a large list of jokes that can make a dad cry. Though terrible in nature, the bad jokes have a curious effect on the weakly minded thugs that inhabit the city. Upon hearing the joke, the thug will often stop whatever they are doing and do an extended facepalm that can last anywhere from a few seconds to a whole minute. Certain weak-minded people sometimes are forced to walk away with their hands in the air, complaining bitterly about the terrible joke. [i][b]Disgruntled Electronics Salesman that is too good for his job(2):[/b][/i] Sebastian works in the electronics department of a local store; he is too good for that job but he stays because he thinks the one girl who works there is kinda cute, He is easily the most competent person in sales, yet his longtime rival Jeff keeps taking his employee of the month honors all to often. He uses his time working here to try out his jokes on the unwilling co-workers, much to their disdain. It was here he discovered his superpower. Those who were not deficient in the mental areas generally withstood the effects of his power, but he always relishes in watching those deficient idiots as they squirm in anguish. He can use his sales experience to sell people on anything; from suicide missions or for a crook to give up their life of crime. [i][b]Not so awesome at fighting but gets lucky (4)[/b][/i] – While he has virtually no skills in fighting another person, often flailing his arms in a form that resembles toddlers attempt at punching someone, he does get lucky. While he is getting his face pummeled in, his random flailing sometimes finds a home under the jaw of the assailant. Now the ratio of him being hit to him supplying the hit is somewhere in the range of a thousand to one. [/quote] I like the concept of the character. I am concerned that the pun cliche could get old after awhile, although after thinking about it, I think it could be a very useful cliche if tweaked - and I'm talking about making it more powerful so that, instead of it always having the facepalm/disgust reaction, some people might find them charming or witty, making it a way for Pun-isher to positively coerce people in some way. That'd be great if he's talking to an Easily Amused Senior Citizen(4), and a great match-up against a Cynical Hipster Douchebag(4) or a Humorless Government Drone(4). The fighting cliche could be very entertaining - it just confuses. It's got 4 dice, but he's described at being really lousy at fighting. How does he rate 4 dice? Now, if he's a Hapless But [i]Incredibly [/i]Lucky Fighter(4), for example, the combat descriptions would get hilarious
