ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
These characters are all original creations of mine. Some have actually seen play, although the versions presented here represent either the starting point total for the character, or a "final" point total. Characters are listed by genre, than by power level.
As time permits, these characters will be updated to HERO System 6th, Edition. Such characters will be indicated by the notation of "6th" right before the character's point total.
- ORION
-
- ORION (300 points) -- Ryan Garret is your average teenaged high school student. Well, two out of three isn't bad. He was developed and used in Darren Hansen's Olympians Campaign.
- MISATO GARRET (430 points) -- A lot of people tell Ryan his mom acts like she's from another planet. They don't know the half of it.
- ORION BACKGROUND DATA
- SCULPTRESS
-
- SCULPTRESS (325 points) -- Sculptress is a woman who can make stone run like water, and she isn't sure what to do with her power. She was developed for David Kujit's Comet Campaign, in which superpowers could be traced to the Earth passing through the tail of a comet.
- SAMPLE SCULPTRESS POWERS -- A list of powers meant to be used with Sculptress's Stone Shaping Variable Power Pool.
- MISTER AMERICA (350 points) -- Powered by "etheric energy," Mister American fights crime, corruption, and the Axis in 1940s America.
- DOCTOR MORTIMER ATOR (380 POINTS) -- Michelle Tora's father and a certifiable inventive genius. Well, he's certifiable, anyway.
- PASSERIDAE (400 points) -- This character was based off of a cosplay ("costume play") photo -- which in itself was based on a piece of promotional artwork.
- TIEH TIEH (400 points) -- Sickly as a child, the Iron Butterfly is now one of the most powerful martial artists in the world.
- MICHELLE TORA (435 points) -- What can I say about Michelle Tora? She is one of the most sane nut-cases I have ever created. Her design was not influenced by any repeated viewings of Project: A-ko. Nope, not at all.
- KULTANAINEN (450 points) -- Apparently made from solid gold, Kultanainen helps defend the European Union from harm.
- FIRE AND ICE (585 points) -- Fire And Ice is a character I wrote up for an issue of Haymaker!. She was loosely based off of DC Comics character Killer Frost and used to great success in my long defunct Justice Alliance campaign.
- MIRJANA the CELESTIAL RANGER (725 points) -- Designed for a Galactic Champions campaign, Mirjana was inspired by a Warhammer 40K miniature.
- MOUNT RUSHMORE (1,524 points) -- Gestalt of the American Presidential Myth. Written for Scott Bennie's Gestalt setting.

- WILLIAM DIXION (6th, 212 points) -- William was developed as part of an experiment conducted by a local Game Master. He has never seen play.
- JASMINE HAWKINS (6th, 312 points) -- Jasmine started as the DNPC of one of the Player Characters in my old Justice Alliance Campaign. Eventually, she became a Player Character in her own right, run by a player who had gotten tired of his original character design. She has no resemblance to any other super-strong, super-fast teenage girls found on this website. Really. Honest. Would I lie?
- SNOW ANGEL (6th, 320 points) -- Snow Angel was developed as a "back-up" character for Peter John Dean's Justifiers Campaign. She's tall, beautiful, and winged.
- A.P.E. (6th, 340 points) -- Hey, everyone needs to run a gorilla as a Player Character at least once. Pity I only I was only able to use him for a few sessions.
- ECLIPSE (6th, 355 points) -- A character developed for Peter John Dean's Justifiers Campaign, in which all paranormal characters are mutants, Eclipse proved to be an interesting and fun character to play. He draws his power from sunlight, and several times in the course of the game ended up fighting in the dark (literally), which meant most of his powers didn't work!
- GRENADIER (6th, 364 points) -- Developed for John R. Ivicek's War of the Worlds: Champions campaign setting, Grenadier is a Victorian age superhero.
- STEEL MAIDEN (6th, 400 points) -- Like her name implies, the Steel Maiden is virtually invulnerable to harm.

- FORCE MAJURE (6th, 415 points) -- Experimented on by UniCorp, Force Majure now possesses the powers of superhuman strength, unaided flight, invulnerability, and can project energy blasts from his eyes. Pity he can only use his powers one at a time....
- SUSANO ORBATOS (6th, 450 points) -- He's a god. Really! Just ask him.
- DEMON HUNTER KANU (6th, 480 points) -- Designed as part of the same project that produced Tien Feng Mo, Demon Hunter Kanu is based off of a vinyl figure kit.
- AVALON
-
- NINA COROVIC (6th, 725 points) -- Meant to be a Galactic Champions character, Nina is based on some Kia Asamiya artwork.

- AAMURUSKO HAMARA (6th, 1151 points) -- Daughter of the Sun and the Moon, a keeper and revealer of secrets, a gatherer of the dead and healer of the wounded, a goddess of the day and the night, and the lady of the twilight hour.
- MOTOYOSHI JIRO (155 points) -- Jiro is a young samurai who dreams of doing great deeds and being a famous hero.... An attitude that could (and did) get him in a great deal of trouble someday. Created for Mark Doherty's Sengoku Campaign.

- MEI SHIN LI (265 points) -- Mei Shin is a mix of Ninja Hero and Dark Champions, combining police action with kung fun mastery. She is, in fact, a perfect representation of the Feng Shui archetype of the "karate cop" using the Hero System.
- THE DRAGON LADY OF SHANGHAI (154 points) -- The Dragon Lady is the person to see when you need to know what's going on in Shanghai. Just don't expect her to do anything for you out of the goodness of her heart.
- SORA-HIME [Sky-Princess] (200 points) -- A former miko (Shinto shrine maiden), Sora-hime has found a life of action and adventure with the crew of the Airracuda, a Sikorsky S-38 flying boat. She was inspired by a picture I found of a statue of Koyori, one of the characters from the game Sengoku Ace.
- CHILD OF THE WASPS (181 points) -- The Player Characters find a little girl who only whispers, "Shhh, loud noises make them angry." What happens once they make a loud noise? A Horror Hero character concept.
