You're so cruel! I'll need the Arch-enemy and the rogue's gallery disadvantages!

When I first thought of that character I imagined him as a street level one. World class ones are already so powerfull it makes my head spin^^
With his capacities ,Zero was not initialy destined to be a private detective. But that's the path he choosed.
What about a duck who joins the NASA!

Character sheet updated with another sketch. I'm still experimenting.
I should adjust the layout aswell.

With AslanC we talked a little about my so-called Detective and agreed that he needed some adjustments .
So here's Detective Zero Mark 2.

Zero is an highly advanced android. He/it does't know how and why he/it was created. His first memory is waking up in an empty lot during a stormy night.0 was the only Id that can be found on his metal skin.He wandered in the downtown ,kept a low profile and observe the humans...He was looking for a purpose, to figure why and what he was.
He finally met that man :Ray Andrews. The decisive meeting that would change his life.
Ray was a private detective caught up in a gunfight between rival gangs. Zero stepped in and saved his life. A strong friendship was born that night. Zero became his partner and found a family in the person of Ray and his daughter Emily. Alas Ray's investigations angered a mob boss. A hitman ended Ray's life. Zero catched the killer but the damage was done... For her father's memory , Emily decided to continue his work. Nowadays their duo is well known in the neighbourhood.

No points left for HP^^ I know^^
I'm not sure that a sustained power like Omni-Linguist can be purchased with the Activation limitation.
AslanC if 'Mark II' is ok than I could make a cleaner sheet.
(I love the layout of Bashman's recent characters.)

EDIT:On second thought,maybe I shouldn't limit my only movement power ^^;
Hitchhiking lacks of 'panache'^^

AslanC! I can take a weakness. It's comptible with the concept.

I'm not very familiar with weaknesses but I found an archetype with this:

Weakness -2: Amphibious. This character has a negating
weakness to being dry. After 24 hours without being immersed
in saltwater, s/he loses his/her powers and physical stats drop
to B2 A1.

I can adapt that weakness to Detective Zero with electricity needs to recharge batteries.
(Then I can payout my super jump limitation and even take a keen sense, like super hearing.)

Sure that works.

You might want to get some hero points though and not max out to 40. You will want them later I promise

I'd prefer to earn those points in game!

The team just got a Brick that is stronger ,tougher and faster.
Then Detective Zero should alter his 'niche'^^
( I was planning to draw him with a thinner bulk anyway

)
I'm thinking about a Detective Zero 'mark III".
I should really settle that character before the adventure really begins.
(By the way, I bought skillfull without taking any more skills)

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Sun May 30, 2010 6:13 am

With the Variable Artillery power, I'll be able to use amusing weaponry according to the situation, inspired by Super Robots Shogun ^^ by editing range, area and hit/damage values.

Detective Zero is changing in an offensive inspector Gadget^^

I must make a choice^^

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Sun May 30, 2010 5:04 pm

I'm still unsure about the colors so for now, it will be black and white.

BillionSix · Post by **BillionSix** » Sun May 30, 2010 9:37 pm

Bear in mind that though he will always have the same skin, he can own a variety of different colored trenchcoats.

So why stick with one?

True

And he 'll probably ruin his clothes once per adventure^^
But that trenchcoat is also a costume.
Like in a comic book, his colors should remain the same in each issues.

I actually like the black and white color scheme! Just my opinion.

Also, sorry Volsung, when I created The Elemental I thought the group didn't have a brick yet; I didn't mean to step on Zero's steel toes!

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Mon May 31, 2010 8:54 am

Don't worry! I admit brick (and speedster) mixed with an hothead+show-off attitude are my favorite type of characters^^.
But Zero's identity comes more from his background and personnality than his powers.
Even Bashman noticed that a detective strong as a demi-god was quite odd^^
I'm glad the way he is now^^
I hope he's not flawed. My only nightmare as a player is to play a complete foil or to lag behind.(When I don't want to)

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Mon May 31, 2010 1:46 pm

I'm so undecided^^
