Halls of the Nephilim

[WanderingNephilim]

Finally decided to start my own thread here on the Roll Call. Keep in mind that I don't have a perfect understanding of the system, so if you have helpful criticisms about the builds, feel free to give them. All of these builds are also put on my blog: http://punverse.blogspot.com/. I thought they might get more views (and hopefully use by others) if I posted them on here.

While I've ran M&M for years, I've recently been able to play the game on the player's side of the screen. This is my first character.
----------
El Hijo de Lobo Plata (The Son of the Silver Wolf or LP as his friends call him), is the child of a the leader of Los Misteriosos (The Mysterious Ones), an order of lucha libre vigilantes that can trace their existence back to the fall of the Aztec Empire. His father, the original Lobo Plata specialized in hunting supernatural menaces, and his son was trained to do the same. El Hijo de Lobo Plata's life was changed forever when his father was killed by an assassin serving an unknown mastermind. Fearing that LP would be next his uncle, another member of Los Misteriosos, sent him to America. He was told to keep a low profile, until more information about his father's death was discovered.

However, for a brash hero like El Hijo de Lobo Plata, keeping a low profile is easier said than done.

I love nerdcore hiphop so I decided to create M&M versions of many of them

-----------
Damien Hess is the birthname of Mc Frontalot, the godfather of nerdcore hip hop. Shortly after his career began Frontalot was caught up in a conflict between Doctor Tomorrow and a rogue time elemental. During the conflict Front was bathed in chronal energy. This unlocked his latent mutant gene and gave him glimpses into potential futures. One of these futures was a horrible world in which man was ruled by the machines of the Foundry. Determined to stop this future from happening Frontalot confided in his fellow nerdcore artists (many of which were metahumans or extremely gifted mundanes). They banded together to form a secret alliance, N.E.R.D.Corps.

Frontalot serves as the unofficial leader of the group.

Eugene Ahn always knew he was different. However, it wasn’t until he was in his early 20’s that he learned just how different he was. One night he was visited by Kheshig, former leader of the Stellar Khanate Imperial Guard and personal servant of Queen Khana. Kheshig informed Adam that he was actually part of the royal bloodline and only half human. The alien warrior also taught Eugene how to tap into the Starfire, an ability unique to his bloodline (which he calls his Glam Hand).

Kheshig warned Eugene that one day the Star Khan would send someone for him. He implored the young man to train in the warrior arts and prepare for the eventual confrontation with his cousin’s forces. Gaining a new lease on life, Eugene quit his job at a local law firm and took to the road. He now travels the world testing his skills and thrilling crowds with his seamless blend of independent hip hop and pop cultural sensibility as Adam WarRock.

While touring near Freedom City, nerdcore rapper, Tribe One, was kidnapped by the Green Man. The eco terrorist decided to try a new way to spread his message and thought Tribe One would be the perfect "prophet." He infused the rapper with the essence of a nature spirit that had ben trapped beneath the Fens. The infusion transformed Tribe One into the plant creature that would later be known as the Dirty South Swamp Thing (or "DS" to the superhero community). DS fought back against the Green Man and escaped, thanks to the assistance of his friends WarRock and Manphibian.

It took some practice but DS eventually figured out how to transform back into his human form. Being empowered by a spirit, he's also begun studying the occult.

Unlike many of his nerdcore bretheren Mikal kHill doesn't have an elaborate or traumatic origin story. Somewhere long ago, one of his ancestors married a deep one. Generations later the tainted blood manifested in Mikal and gave him amphibian-like powers. Mikal (or Manphibian as he's known among the superhero community) is also different from his fellow members of N.E.R.D.Corps because he's a family man. Due to this reason he tends to fight crime less than the others, but is always willing to leap into action when called upon.

Dawn Smith was never "normal." From a young age she found herself surrounded by death. Dawn was a medium and spirits often sought her out. This gave her a unique perspective on life and death (and a morbid sense of human). More often than not, she found that she related more to the dead, than the living. That was until she met Jace Williams, a young metahuman writer (and recent graduate of the Claremont Academy). There was something about him that was different. The two quickly became friends and lovers. Their story may have had a happy ending if not for the magic hating Order of St. Henricus and its ally, Hexenhammer. The witch hunters, investigating occult activity in Freedom City, discovered Dawn. They kidnapped her and planned to purify her in "holy" flame. The sacrifice was stopped by Jace, though it cost him his life. Keeping a promise he'd made to Dawn, the young man refused to pass on to the afterlife and chose to stay behind at Dawn's side as a spirit. He now serves as a guardian angel, providing her with a spiritual shield and acting as a tool and weapon in her defense. Dawn adopted the name Whisper and now serves as a supernatural agent of good. She is an friend of Seven and an ally of Adrian Eldritch.
