In going back and updating some of these characters, V fits more as a Street Fighter hero: a man with a vendetta against the government, fighting a massive "criminal" organization. I've updated him, but his Pulp Hero stats are left below for posterity.

Today we have V, the infamous vigilante single-handedly returning power to the people of England. I will also throw this in, because I love this movie: 
"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous."


Name: V
Race: Human
Experience: 270
Agility d10; Smarts d12; Spirit d10; Strength d10; Vigor d10
Pace 6; Parry 9; Charisma 2; Toughness 9
Hindrances: Loyal, Ruthless, Ugly, Vengeful (M), Wanted (M)

Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d12, Knowledge (Computers) d8, Knowledge (Explosives) d8, Intimidation d8, Lockpicking d6, Notice d8, Persuasion d10, Stealth d10, Throwing d10, Taunt d8
Inventory: Black Clothes, Cape and Hat; Guy Fawkes Mask, Knife x8 (Str+d4; 3/6/12)
Super Powers:
  • Extra Actions (6): 2 additional actions.
  • Super Attribute (12): Agility +1, Spirit +1, Strength +2, Vigor +2.
  • Toughness +2 (2): Reinforced skeleton.
Known simply as V, this vigilante is a man who was kidnapped, tortured, and violated in a conspiracy that created the new English government. At 20 Power Points, he is one of the only Pulp Heroes we've seen thus far. 

He is a master of hand to hand combat, explosives, technological exploitation (aka hacking), literature, persuasion, and culture, and uses these to great effect to incite anarchy and rebellion. His ultimate feat of combat is killing nearly a dozen men in only a couple rounds of combat, while heavily wounded.

The experimentation that occurred at the Larkhill facility left V tough, strong, and fast; the rest of his abilities simply came through almost two decades of training.

There isn't much more to him! Leave questions, comments, etc below as per the norm.

Pantheon — Artisan of War

It's another League Double Day! A direct rip-off of Leonidas character based on the obscure ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, we're gonna look at Pantheon! 

Name: Pantheon
Race: Human
Experience: 120 
Agility d8; Smarts d6; Spirit d8; Strength d10; Vigor d10
Pace 8; Parry 12 (3); Charisma –2; Toughness 11 (3)
Hindrances: Bloodthirsty, Mean, Ruthless (m)
Edges: Brave, Brawny, Fleet-Footed, Martial Artist, Combat Reflexes, Block, Improved Frenzy, Mighty Grip, Marksman
Skills: Climbing d6, Fighting d12, Intimidation d10, Notice d6, Stealth d8, Throwing d10
Inventory: Spear of Zeonia (Str+d6+1, Reach 1, Parry +1, leap power), Aegis of Zeonia (Parry +2, Armor +4 vs Ranged), Plate Armor (Armor +3, no arms), Closed Helmet (Armor +3).

Pantheon is a fearless warrior bred for battle. His people, the Rakkor, are trained from birth as killing machines, learning martial arts and being equipped with relic weapons to help even the odds against the scores of foes that they fell.

Pantheon is the bearer of both the Spear of Zeonia—a deadly blade that allows the user to leap great distances—and the Aegis of Zeonia—a nigh indestructible shield that he uses to great effect both as cover and as an offensive tool (Aegis Protection; Aegis of Zeonia, Block). His speed with his spear is nearly unmatched, and he has become highly proficient at launching it, always finding its target (Improved Frenzy (Heartseeker Strike), Accurate Attack (T) (Spear Shot)). Pantheon is also well known for making heavy use of Wild Attacks (Grand Skyfall; Aegis of Zeonia).

The champion of the Rakkor people, Pantheon has entered the scene. But there is another Champion that will make even heroes like Pantheon tremble in fear...

Cho'Gath is a Heavy Hitter with Super Karma, sitting at 70 Power Points. It is a Voidborn: a creature from an unspeakable plane of existence where nightmares thrive off of each other. Worse yet, it is one of the most vicious and lethal of them, consuming everything in its path.

Cho'Gath absorbs that which it eats, growing larger and requiring yet more food as it does. It can launch spikes at its enemies, impaling them, and can cause the earth to collapse beneath its powerful feet. Its scream is sharp enough to send chills down the spines of even the bravest of souls.

At its maximum size, Cho'Gath has Heavy Armor, Heavy Weapons, and the following stats:
Agility d8; Smarts d6; Spirit d8; Strength d12+10; Vigor d10
Pace 24; Parry 7; Charisma –6; Toughness 23 (6)

There you have possibly the most powerful hero in League of Legends! We should have another character completed for you guys in short order, but until then, leave questions and comments as always.
