Pregenerated Characters for
City Adventures

These are the characters that I use for some of the conventions games I run. They also make just dandy NPCs the rest of the time.

I have these in a few formats. I've updated these to HERO 5th edition using Hero Designer, which is the company-sponsored software. The RTF and PDF files are the sheets I hand out for convention games; They have some of the information streamlined and have text explanations of the sheet.

Four out of the seven characters have gender neutral names, as it allows for some flexibility at the convention table.

Butterfly's Handout (pdf)

Butterfly (aka Ruby Kaye Neville) is a shapeshifter. She sometimes shrinks down little and sprouts wings to fly. There's no real way to tell what Ruby really looks like. As a shapeshifter, she can pick any look she wants. Her standard form is up to the player. She is very flamboyant and a little frivolous. She has very little patience for the doom-and-gloom types. She's into this hero stuff as much for the thrill as anything.

Chris Craven

Chris Craven's Handout (rtf)

Chris Craven's Handout (pdf)

Chris Craven (no secret ID) is an eccentric, but reputable, private investigator, specializing in missing persons. Clairvoyant from birth, Chris learned early not to admit to paranormality, but appreciates the edge it provides in investigations. Like most telempaths, Chris is uncomfortable in crowds and dislikes being around death.

DayStar

DayStar's Handout (rtf)

DayStar's Handout (pdf)

Daystar (aka Alex Chandler) is an energy projector. DayStar was born with light powers. Daystar's identical twin, NightStar, was born with (go ahead, guess) dark powers. There is also a kid sister, whose powers are only just developing. NightStar has, unfortunately, fallen prey to the temptation of greed, evil, and general nastiness, causing all sorts of confusion.

Deathwish

Deathwish's Handout (rtf)

Deathwish's Handout (pdf)

Deathwish (aka Jodi Keaning) was the only survivor of a bombing that killed her family and fiancee. She sees her survival as something of an oversight. She does not believe in suicide, but neither does she feels she has any business being alive. She therefore spends her energy protecting "innocents" or the "deserving" without much regard for her own safety. Other heroes view Deathwish with a certain amount of uneasiness. Every team needs your basic non-powered martial artist with a traumatic past, right?

Dreamer

Dreamer - Noah

Dreamer - Noah

dreamer's Handout (rtf)

dreamer's Handout (pdf)

Dreamer (or sometimes "Beautiful Dreamer", aka Noel Webster Kensington) is an astral projector. Dreamer's also only 14. While Noah is a kid in person, his astral form appears significantly older and larger. He's also precocious enough that most of the other heros take him for a somewhat immature adult. And a lot of heros are pretty immature, so it's not really all that noticeable.

Because Dreamer has two forms, he has two character sheets (they're together in the convention handouts).

Facet

Facet's Handout (rtf)

Facet's Handout (pdf)

Facet (aka Morgan Anselkin) won a magic amulet in a poker game. Though a little too drunk to remember exactly what the loser looked like, Morgan can remember that by the time s/he sobered up, there were a bunch of guys in funny outfits after the amulet. Morgan ditched them but couldn't ditch the amulet. It seems to like it's new owner. The amulet has a lot of power, but isn't terribly reliable.

Frostbite

Frostbite's Handout (rtf)

Frostbite's Handout (pdf)

Frostbite (aka Andy Wojciech) has cold-based powers. Andy became Frostbite a few years ago, when apparently latent cold powers were triggered by a refrigeration accident. Andy is married and has an 8 year old child. Neither the spouse nor the child knows Andy is really Frostbite.
