The Worth of a Man

Indeed he is. This is going be fun.

Can I get a check on my submitted character please.

The Worth of a Man

His beams are fairly wide unless I regulate them down. Depending on how much a threat depends on how the beam is shaped.

I know. I worded it specifically for that effect only, so it irked me when you asked if it did more.

The Worth of a Man

Slowly descending, General Freedom watched the alien ship deposit the runty loud mouth in one of the more expensive country club courses in the area. A smile crossed his lips as he saw several of the blue-blood members gawking. Slowing further, the blue-clad hero, beloved by millions contemplated what he saw before him. A compacted form muscled and strong, and even as he looked up at the hero,

General Freedom wondered what powers he had. Strength alone would not be an advantage. Was he an energy projector? Perhaps, he had the ability to teleport, if he did that would pose problems. The Shade was a teleporter, he often avoided the powerful crushing blows of the hero when they had fought. No, no if mini-me were a teleporter he would have done so when they were jawing up high.

Stopping a hundred meters above the bearded figure, General Freedom stared at him. Then he roared away, landing with a thump on the ninth green. Knees bent as he landed, the sand in the traps jostled then settled, the ball teetering on the edge of the hole, toppled in. Rising slowly, Earth’s mightiest hero stared at the little man, no more than 100 feet away, a wide sand trap between them.

“Alright bunky, you have my attention. Why are you on my planet?

Fury and Freedom: The Battle for Earth

It would have been too easy if the exploratory attack had done any serious damage to the floating alien. Too easy by far, no this was a skilled warrior, not a rookie with a lot of power and no skill.

A slight smile fluttered on the lips of the blue clad hero as the alien maneuvered towards him, he was able to fly which negated an advantage that General Freedom had, but perhaps he had the advantage of speed, perhaps not.

As the flying man zipped towards him, General Freedom cast a glance at the h/vac condenser a scant few feet from him. In one fluid move, the hero stepped towards it, ripping it from its base, and then hurling the 12,000-pound block of battleship gray machinery at the floating alien.

The bulky condenser left his hands, spinning in a relatively flat trajectory as the alien closed. General Freedom was no fool and fully expected the alien to otherwise avoid it, or go through it. He was still unsure of the aliens powers, other than he was responsible for the deaths of some of the hero’s friends. That he could fly was evident, he wielded energy and had a good deal of control over it. Judging by the bulk and heft of the armor, the man that filled it was no slouch in the physical department, perhaps matching even General Freedom’s own fearsome strength.

Then he spied it, the alien was glowing, something was in his hands, more than likely his energy powers. It was blue, with a frown General Freedom felt the ZPE that was surging around him flare a little. Was this alien a mirror image of his own powers? That would be interesting and painful for both no matter who won.

The streaks of energy racing around his form illuminated a few degrees of brightness more. He had a moment more of consideration before the heavy condenser would reach the Fireen. Whoever this alien was, he was no amateur. He was here to kill Steve and that thought caused a chill to rush down his spine. A coldness settled in his stomach as the realization settled. A grim smile crossed his lips briefly.

T-1 PC Multi challenge (me vs 2-4)

Yeah I know. Ok, so now we wait for Not to start the dance. I think destroying the train is fine since it doesn't say it is immune to damage. Once we get rolling I think it would be fun to see the roof ripped off at a speed of 124-300 mphs. That should provide us all kinds of debris to toss at each other. So many possibilities are open for this once it gets started.

Jesus really? I am not going to work out a system when all it does is create a 'magic' bullet to fire through the guns so he can affect magical beings which he could not normally. If that's not good enough disallow it. If you don't like it as a power, say that and I won't use it.

The Everlasting Arena: Character Deposit

Does it say it can take on the physical properties of anything other than generating ammo for the firearms? It makes a sticky bullet like projectile that acts like a bullet in performace, able to strike both natural and supernatural entities. I am not sure what you are reading into the power but if its not mentioned it cannot do it. I thought I wrote it clearly enough.

For Submission: He can fall into either tier 2 or 3 it doesn't matter to me which one.

JT MacLeod

J.T. MacLeod
Description:
6’1 tall and 202 lbs. Has deep blue eyes and mousy brown hair.

When in an urban setting he prefers to wear comfortable clothes of a non-descript fashion, such as loose jeans and a tee shirt, a brown bomber jacket prominently displaying the American Flag across the back, black steel-toe tactical boots and sunglasses.

When in a combat zone, he wears MCCUU MARPAT either in the woodland or desert patterns depending on the mission location.
What drives him: Seeking to understand what makes the world and the multiverse special. He is principled in his views and will stand up against a wrong.

Equipment: Primary weapon (Locked)

He carries two, MK 23 HK double-action automatic pistols, in tactical holsters. These are 12-round, box magazine fed pistols that fire .45 ACP caliber, 230-grain Hydra-shok jacketed hollow point rounds.

Under his jacket is a multiple magazine carrier and dispenser for his firearms which is configured for rapidly dispensing ammunition magazines in the proper orientation to facilitate rapid reloading of his weapon.

The multiple magazine carrier holds 10 magazines per side and is curved for both left and right hand use and carried on a torso and shoulder strap harness. The carrier has a thickness and height only slightly greater than those dimensions of a magazine, but has a length sufficient for the installation of a series of magazines therein in a front to back orientation.

A spring and push plate or shoe urges the magazines toward the front of the device, where the dispensing opening is configured to facilitate the insertion of the magazine in the proper orientation for rapid installation in a weapon carried by the user. The user merely drops the expended magazines and slams the pistol butt against the dispenser where a new magazine is inserted.

Secondary weapons:

A HK416 Carbine:Caliber 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 Remington), Operation Principle Gas operated, firing from a closed bolt. Modes of Fire Semi-automatic, full automatic. Feed Device- HK 30-round steel box magazine. This has a sling set up as well as an integrated reflex sight with nested IR laser aimer and illuminator. He carries five extra magazines.

A Remington 870 Express-sure shot shotgun, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. This is a super-light, shotgun capable of firing 3.5 inch magnum rounds. With a capacity of 7+1 rounds. In a belt pouch, he carries 8 extra rounds of ammo. This has a sling set up for easy carrying.

Load out initially:

(3) Terminator rounds. These rounds contain a hollow core slug which has dozens of tiny lead pellets that spread dramatically as the core expands to 1-1/2" on impact. The initial shock caused by the core is further enhanced by the tiny shot, creating massive tissue damage.

(2) Fireball Rounds. These 12 gauge rounds produce an enormous wall of fire and sparks for 250+ feet. The incendiary metal contained inside burns at over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit when fired, showering the target in a momentary wall of fire.
Ammo Pouch:

(2) TASER XREP cartridges. On impact, the forward facing barbed electrodes attach to the body of the target. The energy from the impact breaks a series of fracture pins that release the main chassis of the XREP projectile which remains connected to the nose by a non-conductive tether. The XREP projectile autonomously generates NMI for 20 continuous seconds. As the chassis falls away, six Cholla electrodes automatically deploy to deliver the NMI effect over a greater body mass. It delivers a Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) bio-effect but can be delivered to a maximum effective range of 100 feet (30.48 meters), combining blunt impact force to form a subtle non-lethal weapon.

(2) Incendiary Rounds. These 12 gauge incendiary rounds contain a chemical mixture much like that found in metallic cartridges. When the projectile strikes an object, the compound produces a brilliant flash of light at a temperature in excess of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit,capable of igniting flammable material.

(2) Terminator rounds. These rounds contain a hollow core slug which has dozens of tiny lead pellets that spread dramatically as the core expands to 1-1/2" on impact. The initial shock caused by the core is further enhanced by the tiny shot, creating massive tissue damage.

(2) Fireball Rounds. These 12 gauge rounds produce an enormous wall of fire and sparks for 250+ feet. The incendiary metal contained inside burns at over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit when fired, showering the target in a momentary wall of fire.

Tertiary weapons:

A 19" long survival bowie knife made of 1095 steel on his left hip in a leather sheath. Specifications: 12 inch blade, with a 7-inch hard rubberized grip. 1 5/8th inches wide, 3/16 inches thick. Weight 1 lb.5 oz.

A 26" long expandable impact baton with a rubber grip in a nylon sheath on his belt, right side. (Reduces to 10 inches when compacted, the two remaining sections that extend are 8.5" long apiece.)

In his small rucksack, he carries a black modified full-face tactical style helmet with night vision, thermal and infrared vision enhancers and SAT-TAC communication systems that he uses for night ops. JT also carries four grenades in his rucksack.

(2) M84 stun grenade, which is a non-lethal, low hazard, non-shrapnel producing explosive device intended to confuse, disorient or momentarily distract potential threat personnel. The device produces a temporary incapacitation to threat personnel or innocent by standers via a loud "Bang". The noise levels will be above 170 decibels within 5 feet of initiation.
**Detonating the M84 Stun Grenade in the presence of natural gas, gasoline, or other highly flammable fumes or materials may cause a serious secondary explosion or fire, resulting in death, or severe injury to friendly forces or unintended victims, as well as serious property damage.

(2) CN Triple-Chaser grenades. The Triple-Chaser® is a fast burning pyrotechnic grenade designed for crowd management. It consists of three separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each. When deployed, the canisters separate and land approximately 20 feet apart allowing increased area coverage in a short period of time. It displaces smoke, CN and CS gasses. Tossing it underhanded delivering the sub-canisters along a line, from left to right, well ahead of the grenadier
He wears the Interceptor Body Armor system (IBA), more specifically the newer Improved Outer Tactical Vest, (IOTV), used with the Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (ESAPIs) ballistic plate series. Two small-arms protective inserts are designed to stop up to three hits from 7.62x51mm NATO M80 ball ammunition, with a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second (838 m/s).

History: James MacLeod was a normal kid growing up in Santa Cruz CA, his parents were both blue collar folk who did the best they could to raise their 5 children. James was an excellent student and athlete and enlisted in the Marines, becoming FORECON, where he graduated and served his initial 4 years in San Diego, CA. He is an accomplished Close Quarter Combatant both with weapons and hand to hand. Now out of the Military he wanders the multiverse using his skills to help those that need them.

Mission specific skills: Sniper, Breaching, Surreptitious Entry, Electronic and Media Exploitation, Technical Surveillance, High Threat Protective Security (PSD), Advanced Weapons Training, Advanced Driving Skills (Urban/Rural/Security), Advanced Climbing/Rope Skills, Advanced Air Operations: HALO/HAHO/Jumpmaster/Parachute Rigger and Packer, Diving Supervisor, Foreign Weapons, Advanced Special Operations.

Enhancements:

[Tier Two: The following power can be added to make him an enhanced realistic melee opponent.]

Powers: The DARPA developed MASS (Metabolically Advanced Super Solider) formula that he is injected with metabolically enhanced all of his bodily functions to the peak of human efficiency. Most notably, his body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him phenomenal endurance as well as having his agility, strength, speed, and reaction time greater than any Olympic athlete who ever competed. JT represents the pinnacle of human physical perfection. Think of this as a super-steroid. This allows him to bench press 1200 pounds (545 kg) and run a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).

[Tier Three: The following effect can be added to enhance the base power to equal mid-tier opponents.]
An odd and often disgusting side effect of the MASS drug is an emission of an ectoplasm substance, which is a white-gray, transparent, and viscous sludge, which mostly resembles mucus. It usually coats JT's body as a thin film. It occurs when he begins to exert himself. It however takes form as a misty substance during times of great stress, rising off his body similar to heat during a cold day. This substance is solid enough to dissipate incoming energy to some degree before it affects JT's body. Acting as a type of armor or dampening agent, able to absorb energy diffusing it across the ectoplasm. He can also coat his weapons with the ectoplasm in order to affect supernatural beings that would otherwise be unaffected by his mundane weaponry. After several rounds, the ectoplasm will generate ammo for the firearms, relying on person-object-memory to recall the ammunition loaded and fired and continually fill the magazines with ectoplasmic bullets that mimic the physical ammo. These bullets can affect both mundane and preternatural objects.

The last effect of his ectoplasm is to create balls that he can throw. These balls are able to stick to objects with a thick string of ectoplasm connecting JT to the object the bio-energy has attached itself. Thus the ectoplasm can be used a line, to climb up or down, swing across or grab things at a distance. The ectoplasm line has a tensile strength of maraging steels, roughly 2600 MPa. He has an effective throwing distance of 100 yards, (300 feet)
