I just wanted to comment on how amazing your artwork is, I bet you a lot of the same reactions from other admirers. I was just very impressed with the drawing of grendel you did. I was wondering if I could use that as a starter drawing for my interpretation of grendel. I just wanted to let you know because I didn't want to take credit for somebody else's drawing. I would be very appreciative if you allowed me to do that. thank you.

GREAT site man, I stumbled onto it pretty randomly cause I was looking up on Sagat, and I bookmarked this site after reading all the details you had of his fighting strategies. Then Lo and Behold I find out your site is littered with the rest of my child hood heroes. I've been reading for 2 hours now, and I really should be doing my school work.
I just wanted to say that this is awesome, it's nice to know that these legends are being appreciated. One Concern tho. You included the Joker, and mentioned the bat, but where oh where is BATMAN!!!
Come on.... if you got Superman you HAFTA have Batman in there somewhere. He could totally whoop anybody. With his gadgets and such he'd be a good match for Jet Li, I'd rate his Overall Physical Strengths at 180 or so.
I hope to see Batman in there one day.
and shouldn't Goku's Strength be higher? He's a super sayyan, his power level is like a million or something
Anyways, Thanks for all the greatness
Peace!

Mr. Surbrook, I have enjoyed your creations for some time now. I bought and am delighted by your K5 campaign setting. Your writings (especially the MSTs) have provided me with countless hours of amusement. By way of saying "Thank you", I'm sending you a pic of Shion (my favorite NPC/force of nature). I hope you will find it good enough to put up in your gallery. I was so impressed with Shion, that I made a Champions character who turned out to be her clone (I know, a little trite and Marvelesque), but I assure you that Samantha (my character's name) will do nothing to shame your fine creation.

Your web page is great! You have so much information about the series and the characters. Hellsing's Alucard's forms and weapons. Cowboy Bebop time line. And with all this information, I was wondering what you do with it...do you run a DnD guild or something? Because the character sheets resemble the few DND Sheets I've seen...

Just wanted you to know how great your website is, in case the doubtless ceaseless tide of praise has ebbed for some inexplicable reason of late.
I'm running a Champions campaign right now, low-powered supers with strong cross-dimensional and urban-fantasy elements (kind-of X-Men meets Men in Black) and they've been terrorized several times by your DOOM conversions.
Of course, Ninja Hero is also an outstanding book, and has inspired me to begin preparing a fantasy campaign based in ancient China, maybe something like the Xuxia Hero you originally had in mind. It'll be an original world called Shang Kun, and bears some inspiration from Fushigi Yuugi and Legend of the Five Rings.
If you know of any useful resource material on Eastern magic, monsters, and culture, I'd be obliged. Of course, the forthcoming Ultimate Mystic and Asian Bestiary should help immensely.

Subject: Hero and Fuzion
I have read the work that you have done about anime characters and video game personas while searching for characters for the Fuzion system. I know that the Hero System is part of it, but I am unsure about how conversions would work. I was wondering if you would, by any chance, be familiar with Fuzion and a way to
convert the statistics and abilities without destroying the original designs.
I read from R. Talsorian Games that 1 CP for Hero is 1/5 of a CP for Fuzion, but that leaves characters like Dan with only 31 CP for 10 Statistics. That doesn't sound correct, and that is why I ask. If you are able to help with this confusion, I would appreciate it. If not, then I thank you for your time.

Subject: Top 10 Characters
Hey Michael Surbrook,
A friend and fellow RPG geek directed me to your page (Art Lyon, my colorist). Surprisingly well done! I will say that you could give Girl One better DCV and lower Int: she's almost impossible to hit and not unusually clever. The one time she is hit, she threw herself in front of someone else. I do appreciate that you had to be cautious in your write up.
This would be hard to tell, but Peregrine married very rich. Her husband is a Bruce Wayne/Booster Gold type. They live in a floating mansion maintained by robot servants. They have a alternate reality-Picasso in their bedroom. In one issue, she does use her wings as a melee weapon. I think she can do this while flying.
Smax's origin is detailed in the Smax the Barbarian series. Nothing you said is contradicted, but his father and mother are revealed, as is his sister. He turns out to be handy with his sword.
Altogether you did a much better job than I could have done!

Subject: 3x3 eyes hero
I have been a Heros player for quite some time now and also a fan of 3x3 Eyes ( I have even gone as far as to have the Kanji "Wu" tattooed on my arm. I read your write-up on the Wu and I think I have some ideas that would make it a little better.
These powers should be dropped.
30 Immortal Body: BODY: +30, Invisible Power Effects: Sight (+1/2), Only to Stave Off Point of Death (-2)
15 Rapid Regrowth: Does Not Bleed
I understand why you havethem but there are better ways (and cheaper) of doing this. Here is why you should drop them.
96 Rapid Regrowth: Regeneration: 12 BODY/Turn, Wu must take a recovery to start regeneration process (-1/4).... This is what you have... Change it to this--------->
69 Rapid Regrowth: Regeneration: 12 BODY/Turn, Wu must take a recovery to start regeneration process unless body is destroyed(-1/4),DNBIN (Does Not Bleed In Negatives) (+1/4), Independent(+1/2), Regeneration only works while Sanjiyan is alive(-1), Regrows limbs (+1/4), Regrowth is x4 endurance {** END for regeneration[** END for regrowth](-1/2)
(The Independent part makes it where the regeneration will work no matter what state the body is in. Even if it is totally destroyed. ie. If the character has aBODY of 20 and takes 60 pts of BODY he/she would normally be dead by 20 pts. Doing this the character will regenerate no matter what BODY damage they take.)
This coveres the regeneration, gets rid of the having to buy the +30 body and also covers the does not bleed, since the character bleeds until he/she reaches negatives. This changes it from having to buy 141 pts. in powers to having to buy 69 pts. in powers.
10 High Pain Threshold: Damage Reduction: 1/4 Energy, Resistant, Stun Only (-1/2)
10 High Pain Threshold: Damage Reduction: 1/4 Physical, Resistant, Stun Only (-1/2)
13 High Pain Threshold: CON: +10, Does not affect Figured (-1/2)
These three can be changed by simply buying these powers you don'tquite get the same effect, but it is another way of doing this.--------------------->
5 High Pain Threshold:Mental Defence (10pts.)(+[EGO based])ie. EGO of 20= +13(only vs. pain tolerance[-1/2])
3 Resistance(+6) (only vs. pain tolerance[-1/2]) (basically this gives a +6 to yourEGO and CONrolls vs. having to roll for pain tolerance only. With the Mental Defence and this power acharacter with an EGO of 20 would have a 19 for their EGO roll when having to roll to resist the amount of pain they are going through.)
15 Character does not become Incapacitated. This makes it where the character does not become incapacitated if he/she gets hit for over half their BODY, will still be conscious if his/her head becomes severed, and also the character does not go into the "Finish Me" type state if he/she takes over their CON in stun damage.(ie. Character has 20 CON and a STUN on 50, if character takes 30 STUN in one attack he/she will not be dazed.)
Different effect, kinda more closely related to the anime and 10 pts. cheaper.
You can change some of the drawbacks as well.
10 Wu Aura (NC, Maj, Limited) can be changed to------------------------>
10 Wu Aura (C/DWUSG)[Detectable With Unusual Sense Group]--A magical sense is still a sense.
0 Physical Limitation: Dies if Sanjiyan Master dies--- Don't you think you should get some points for this? This is one hell of a drawback.
25 Physical Limitation: Spiritually Bonded/Dies When Sanjiyan Master Dies(I/F/P)--Infrequent/ Fully impairing/ Permanent (This drawback was almost identically used for a character with the Crow's abilities.) The permanency makes it worth points.
Well that is all of my ideas, E-mail me back and let me know what you think or if you have any questions or coments let me know.

Subject: "Ms Deep" from RoD
Regarding the Spoiler Section:
"In the anime, Miss Deep is a double agent (literally) for a group known as the I-Jin. The I-Jin have a plan to control the world (don't they all?), and part of this plan involves cloning. Miss Deep is in fact a clone of the greatest spy in history -- Mata Hari. Mata Hari killed Nancy Makuhari and took her identity, which means all the material presented her (such as coming from Japan and attending Cambridge) really applies to the now-dead agent. In addition, Mata Hari has a cloned "sister" (it would seem Mata Hari was suffering from shifting loyalties). The original Mata Hari is the one working for the Section A Library Special Force, while the younger sister is a loyal I-Jin operative. At the end of the anime series, the original Mata Hari is dead and the younger sister is suffering from brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. This write-up represents the older sister (although it will serve for both versions). To truly represent Mata Hari, the character sheet needs a few skills (Action and Seduction come to mind), and a second Social Limitation: Secret ID (agent of the I-Jin)."
It was my impression that the original Mata Hari / "Nancy" is alive and suffering from brain damage, having killed the second clone. I'm watching the movie again right now, and I'll send another email if I was mistaken.
From: Kristopher <eoslives@net-link.net>
Subject: Read or Die, Part II
OK...
The movie just ended, and which one of the "Nancys" lives might be in doubt. I had assumed, the first time that I watched the movie, that the oxygen deprivation had been caused by exposure to space, and that they had rescued the Nancy on the rocket -- I figured that she had killed the younger clone. I had thought that the Yomiko's "your older sister" comment was just a figure of speech refering to "older Nancy" before she lost her memory, and that "older Nancy" had been rescued somehow.
It occurs to me now, however, that "younger Nancy" might not have been killed when both Nancys fell into the water, but could have been the one to suffer oxygen dep while in the water, and that "older Nancy" died on the rocket.

Hello. My name is Randall Brackett. I am a newcomer to your website, and was very intrigued about the character sheets. Besides giving abilities and stats that realistically fit the characters, great background information, and descriptions, the information is expertly written. It's great! I only saw some characters that I didn't see who are pretty good candidates for hero sheets, which sorta surprised me. A few are Megaman characters, who I think would fit in well. I already took the liberty of writing a sheet for Megaman zero, my favorite character of the series. It's my first however; I think it needs revision... I noticed it's longer than other sheets (7 pages!!) and I need help making up rules for some of his moves. I'm pretty positive that I hit his stats and his abilities on mark, but the sheet is not up to the quality I've seen. I was hoping I could send it to you and could edit it to a higher form of quality, as I was hoping it could be posted on the website. your time, and I hope you help me out so I can make my first contribution up to snuff.

Subject: Re: Sin City
I wanted to write to say, first of all, that I loved your Sin City adaptation page. However, I have a question about some of your brief character descriptions. On your introduction page, you name Davis and Stuka as being employed by the Colonel, and Becky as being in his power in The Big Fat Kill. I don't have a copy of TBFK to check for myself to see if the Colonel is mentioned by name, but if so, isn't that a continuity hole? Manute is alive in Hell and Back, and the Colonel dies at the end of that story, while Manute is (apparently?) thoroughly killed in TBFK. If the Colonel is mentioned explicitly, then Hell and Back can't take place before TBFK, because the Colonel should be dead; nor could it take place after TBFK, because Manute should be dead when the events of Hell and Back occur. You seem to have a pretty good handle on the Sin City universe, so I thought I'd ask you for your thoughts. (Of course, if the Colonel isn't mentioned by name, then this is all moot.)

Dear Michael Surbrook,
I'd like to send my compliments on such an awesome site on Bestiary. The creatures you have written about are in great depth and very accurate according to historical reference. Your History of Bestiaries is also extremely good and concise.
I am a student in 3D animation in New Zealand and I am studying Medieval Bestiary, in particular the Basilisk or cockatrice. My aim is to provide an accurate representation of the creature to a 21st century, referencing the medieval roots of the characters so that the traditional lore lives on. So your site has been very useful. I also have an immense interest in Medieval history.

Subject: RE: Philidelphia Project.
How simple it was to spot the fact that the Philidelphia Project is a total farce to cover up the real experimet with right hemisphere Syneathesis, even the Koestler Institute in Edibourgh, Scotland, has had the very same magnetic experiment technique by sitting a subject between two gigantic oposing magnet's in vain attempty's to activate what suposed to have been activated naturally year's ago! That's if Hitler's Ces-Arian Race hasn't brought you up without any right hemisphere Syneasthesis intelligence by diverting you're birth-spin magnetic polarity head crowning process by cesarian section!
It's easy to spot that the US Military has had everyone duped for year's over the fact that the majority of the male population on the planet is colour blind, and the Vatican's involvment has everything to do with their desperate attempt's to be the first religious order to break the code's to the Art of the Painter of the spectrum, so to speak, to decipher the Ancient code's of Egypt's Book of the Dead, Hitler was experimenting with the same Syneasthesis principle's from Howard Carter's hoard of artifact's discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
The problem is, if you don't let the right hand (side of you're brain), know what the left hand (side of you're brain), is doing, then no wonder you're not polarity conscious of the existence of Time and Space, and colour blind with it!

Subject: Just a few questions about Champions the game
I was just wondering about some of the character writeups.
I see characters like Neo, Goku, and the JLA version of Superman all have an ability called Multipower.
Could you please give me a brief description of how this ability works? I don't know the rules of champions, but I'm just trying to compare power levels from within the writeups.
Also the Goku writeup gives his Super-Saiyan mode the following stats:
Super-Saiyajin Stage 1: Aid STR, DEX, CON, PD, ED, SPD, END, STUN, and Chi Powers 4d6, Can Add Maximum Of 30 Points
I was wondering if the Maximum of 30 points was across all the stats, or for each one?
So in the end, when Goku goes SSJ2, he adds a total of 60 points to his STR score?
So when fully powered up, he's much stronger than Superman, correct?
Champions seems to be a fairly complex character system, far more so than a system like MEGS, but your writeups are so detailed and interesting I can't stop reading them.
I just recently re-discovered Manga, and am enjoying reading comics again for the first time in years.
The only other thing I really collect is Superman (which has been abysmal of late).
Anyway, thanks for the entertainment.
Do you have any other writeups on the net other than the ones listed on your site? Are you still creating them?

Just a comment on your write-up of Ron Stoppable. While it's quite good it doesn't mention that he's naturally skilled at Monkey Kung-Fu or the 'Mystic Monkey Power' that he seems to have. Of course that's just me being a bit of a geek, which seems quite appropriate in a discussion of Ron Stoppable now that I think on it, but I felt it bared mentioning. :)

Hey, I really liked those artworks you made on your site, you got some real talent. The thing is that I just bought a swedish roleplay and I need some pictures for my characters. The characters are mutated animals, so they are like a human with a rabbit head and so on. Oh, and they also use guns cause its a science fiction roleplay.
Could you make some new art based on my roleplay? :D
You can get some inspiration from the official roleplay site: www.mutant.nu

dude u got alot of wrong info... first of all gohan reached ssj 2 not 2.5 the ssj2 discripsion is the discripsion of a stage callled ultra ssj its between ssj 1 and ssj2 get the facts right plz..
A Comment from the webmaster: Yes, I know the super-Saiyan stages are all off. I also wrote that stuff years ago, before Viz put out Dragonball in trade paperback form. Someday I'll get around to fixing it. Although emails like this one (not to mention the follow-up which was rather abusive) make me wonder why I should bother.

hi, i just wanted to say that your drawing is amazing. im not such a good drawer, (with animals) but im good with aliens. it gives lots of ideas of how an alien can be shaped. i havn't seen the rest of your drawing, but let me give you a little tip... i think that you might need to take it more easy with your drawing, take your time, don't rush and add more shadow (if you know what i mean). maybe you could give an advice of how to draw because i've got some drawing's too. i will see if i can send it to you and you can give me some tips...................................................................................

Do you have a map to go along with the corum adaptation?

Subject: Question about the Corum adaptation
hello sir! i just have a few questions...regarding your INTERESTING PAGE.....
first off, where did you derive your point system from for your Dragon Ball Z characters? i notice that Oolong has -5. what is the benchmark for 0? according to my calculations, he should be somewhere around 0, maybe .5. I just don't think your system is accurate. please verify for me, Mr. Surbook.
second of all, and this is just to inject some humor in this very buisness-like email, are you lying down on a rug in your picture LOL! its quite an odd background! almost as odd as Oolong having -5 points! ah, just kidding.
third of all, after the 4th-some viewing ofthe Dragon Ball series, i noted in my crafty notebook that it takes Master Roshi [approximatley] 56.7 years to get the kamehameha wave. i developed this equation to figure it out:
Z(f(x)) = 8.854*10-12Fm-1
as you can see, this equation undoubtedly proves that it took Roshi 56.7 years to figure out the Kamehameha wave. i think you may have to revamp your method of calculating years...and points...and well pretty much everything LOL!
finally, regarding Yamcha, i found the name you gave his 'wolf' attack to be quite erroneous and in fact rather offensive. I believe the correct term is 'Fanga Kumorzi Takisi.' meaning, 'the strong wolf move.' please, get your facts right and learn to appreciate the Japanese culture.
In conclusion, your analysis of this magical anime was...ok. overall lacked depth and direction, and i was sorely disappointed. don't worry though, i'm ALWAYS willing to lend a hand to your website, as it shows much great potential and is rather well structured. i look forward to hearing from you soon Mr. Surbook. keep up the good work and long live DBZ! :)
a fan,
Hackemaguizki Akira [Steven Greg]
From: Pablo Sanchez <mj16309@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: LV-426 Life Form
Very good Champions adaption for the Alien.
I should also add that the LV-426 Life Form takes on some of the physical attributes of whatever host creature the face hugger implants with an embryo. This helps them adapt to terrestrial norms for whichever planet they are on. Hence, the Alien is bipedal and relatively humanoid in appearance in the first 2 movies since their hosts were human. In Alien 3 (granted, not a great movie) a face hugger implants an embryo in a dog. The Alien that evolved from that ran on all fours and had the basic physical abilities of a canine, although still looked like an alien for all intents and purposes. Maybe a 25 point race-specific package would be in order to reflect this (I would guess if the LV-426 Life Form landed on a planet with mostly avian type creatures it would reproduce aliens able to fly, etc). The Aliens comics that came out in the late 80's/early 90's also mentioned this. It's a cosmetic thing mostly, but in Alien 3 the dog-alien ran hella faster than the human-bred aliens and was much smaller too. In Alien Vs. Predator the chestburster that came out of the Predator species also had facial features similar to the predator. I would guess this is an evolutionary adaptation to allow the alien to survive in any environment they end up in. They can't live long in atmospheres that their host species can't survive in, so I take issue with the L.S. Vacuum. The face hugger is the real iron horse of the species and can survive in ANY environment (as exlained by the android doctor in the first movie). So that's how the species survives; the face hugger implants an embryo in a host that is native to the planet they are on. The chestburster absorbs DNA from the host (the walls of the stomach are ideal for this) as it grows and developes. By the time it bursts out of the host it is fully adapted to the environment of the planet.

Subject: Character Adaptations -- History of Paksenarrion
You've done a good job with your character adaptations and descriptions. I admit I haven't read many of them. I found your page by searching for information on Paksenarrion. There isn't much to be found of any use. I'm cataloging as much of the books as I can to potentially make a MUD based entirely on the books, but I doubt my programming skills will ever meet the challenge. As there is so little information out there on this topic, I'd like to correct a certain error I saw in your history. You mention that in her vision she saw Gird, the High Lord, Alyanya, and the Windsteed whom you name Saben. The Windsteed is named Arvoni in the book (when she buys the little red horse for her friend Saben, possibly page 105 of the complete paperback, I'd have to look). I haven't read the rest of your writeup in detail, I was just searching for something, but it looks to be the best summary out there right now. Good job.

Subject: Your anime stats site.
Hello there,
My name's Teresa, alias The Doctor on the net. I simply love your site, I've been visiting it off and on for awhile now. I'm thankful for the Hellsing stats, and now the Read or Die stats. I'm trying to convert them for the online roleplaying games that I run. http://www.geocities.com/hellsingrp is one of those games in particular, a roleplay that combines mostly Hellsing and the western movie The Boondock Saints. Ofcourse I'd like it for you to take a look and tell me what you think, but if you wish not to, that's fine.
I have some recommendations for your site, if you are interested on hearing them...
1) One of the most popular methods of online roleplay is stats that run along those found at www.classicmarvel.com. They're easier for those who are dice illitterate, much like myself, I'm afraid. I was wondering if you could help me convert your stats for Sir Integra Hellsing to those found at ClassicMarvel for a roleplay I wish to put her in.
2) I noticed that you had an image of the trio of Samurai Champloo. Does that imply that you intend or in the process of crafting stats for Mugen, Jin and Foo? I surely hope so, that gives me something to look forward to. I have more ideas on stats you can craft from....Naruto, Bleach & Tenjou Tenge to name a few.
Well, here's to hearing from you.....*smiles*
