This might likely be better placed in the "Super Builds" section of the BASH! forum. However, since it was actually created for a bigger effort as a sample game/character I thought it would get more useful traffic in the General section. (feel free to see it moved if that's better)
Hey Gang,
These are the stats that BASHMAN worked up for a classic "Patriotic Shield Hero" that was a pre-gen in his on-line Narrated one-shot from a month or two ago.
The stats are NICE, and represent someone like a Captain America very well.
BASHMAN asked the group to come up with our own fiction, name and imagery for our character choice. My role-play of the Shield Bearer was fun.
The core idea (for the entire game actually) was to "test" to see how well a lower Character Point hero such as a Captain America could function practically in-game with your IronMans, Thors, GreenLanterns, etc... Overall, as the guy playing the lower Character Point hero I was impressed! The group also quickly chatted post-game and I think all were equally impressed, if not flat out surprised at how well I was able to get game-stats to play out and greatly help the story and group in a gang of 30-40+ heroes!
SHIELD BEARER is a character close to my heart. A fun idea that would likely be the CORE of my own personal "universe" if/when I create publications for my own brand of supers for the RPG.
In-game, we first "saw" SB working with the Boyscout 108th Troop in the team's DoomRoom training facility. Teaching the tour group of kids the ins-and-outs of how to lay down cover fire against a no-good superthug like CONCRETE SAVAGE (tm) when on a public street in downtown!
Soon the team was called to an emergency. Not a flyer, Shield Bearer would quickly be left behind right? No way! Leaping on his "ALLY-CYCLE"(tm) the team soon watched him keeping pace ramping the modified Indian Four from rooftop to rolling up steel bridge cables!
Arriving on-scene Bearer took control of the local city's finest with a quick-radio to the Commish, arranging them in column atop a city bus in fire-brigade if needed.
and the fun went on...
As for image and style, using BASHMAN's notes for statistics, this is what I designed:

Note: SB's original name was "Ally". Since it might be hard to differentiate between the name Ally and the word "ally" in a combat BASHMAN asked that I change it. My solution: "Ally" is the code-name that any "like-minded friendlies" in the various agencies and armed forces use to identify one another. Like a secret code-name but it became more of a nickname for Shield Bearer for "his Nick Fury" type friend.details and ideas wrote:
