Ultimo Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 So, as usual, I'm creating a character based on a mythological character, this time Herakles, the son of Zeus. In the myths, Herakles iconography is the club and the lion's skin, so I've decided to make him a Brute, War Mace and... I'm undecided what else. My first thought was to give him Regeneration, but that's more because I have no characters with Regen... and was interested to try it out. But it's not quite the right thing for the character. The skin of the Nemean Lion grants Invulnerability, so I could just give him that... but I have several characters WITH that already, and it feels a bit redundant. I may end up going with that anyway, but I thought I'd ask what the community thinks. Creating Herakles for the game, based on the MYTHS, not on any other source material, what power sets would you give him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitum Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 You could do Willpower for a touch of Regen that gets stronger with every foe faced and decent resists. That's for changing it up since you have a lot of invul. But either one would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 I decided to go with Invulnerability, it's got to be concept over all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_Beam Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So what name are you going with since I am confident Herakles and any possible l33t speak/number transposition variable was taken. Maybe Heraklea . . . go girl!

Nitrogen Star Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Since he's immortal, you could say that he lived in Rome for a while and decided to adopt this name over the ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I now picturing Jim Jefferies as the retired Herakles living in a trailer park on the outskirts of Los Angeles? 1 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge.

High_Beam Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) My running joke when doing the Mortimer Kal Strike Force is in the mission where they call Odysseus by the full name Odysseus Hill I will always say he's friends with Hercules Johnson. It's not so funny the fourth time I do it.
