By the way I anyone does want a hero system character made I am willing to craft the character for them. But here are some guidelines.
- Don't worry about giving me a background.
- Tell me how many points to use for the build and disadvantages/complications requirements. Keep in mind I have 1 rule I always apply to characters - a minimum of 25pts will always go to non-combat skills.
- Give me a brief rundown on the setting so I have an idea on what powers may be called for.
- Give me a character archetype you want...in other words do you want a brick, speedster, gadgeteer, or something in between? It also helps if you let me know if the GM has any particular restrictions on powers.
- Finally I will post the completed character online here if you do not give me an e-mail address to send it to.

So to start I'm going to post my primary backup character for my champions game. This is a character I have in case my primary character kicks the bucket. So with this character I borrowed the name of DBZ character Bardok - since its a good name - and put my own spin to it.

========================================================================
So for those of you new to the Hero System RPG, above is an example of a character built using the older 5th Edition rules. This character is built to meet the my groups current milestone of 425pts. In other words if a character dies or is forced to retire for some reason or another, the new character comes in at the "milestone" set by the GM. Some times a GM keeps this at the group starting amount...which is unfair if the rest of the group has 50 or more points on the new character.
A milestone set at every 25pts ensures that a character can come in at a point equal to the rest of the group or close to that point so that there isn't too much of a gap between them and everyone else.
And anyone who has not seen a Hero System Character...well here you go.
From here I would flesh out his looks. In his normal form he's fairly good looking and in great shape. but when he assumes his "True Form" I go to a more DBZ sort of inspiration here. His hair stands on end, turns red, and his muscle mass increases in density and in amount by a degree. he ends up looking different enough from his normal form that people wouldn't draw a distinction between the two.
But feel free to use him for your game as well.
