Phoenix Force: When any of her EC powers are used, they suffer from this linked effect. She projects a raptor shaped aura of flame around herself. This is cosmic flame, often wispy, but sometimes powerful & intense. Normally it is merely a Change Environment from anywhere 3 hexes or more radius, producing light & mild heat. In times of great stress, passion, or when pushing powers, the force can manifest as a Flash, of up to 8 dice or more. Under more usage, or more stress, it can actually cross over into being a Energy Blast, of up to 10 dice. It seems to limit it's own appearance to the enclosing size of the area, but it can be truly huge. Area Size Conditions Manifest PRE plus =======================#=======================================#======== Indoors 1 Hex # At Peace CE: Light + Heat # 4 # # Street 3 Hex Rad # Stress 1d6 Flash, 2d6 EB # 8 # # Outdoors 6 Hex Rad # Combat 2d6 Flash, 4d6 EB # 12 # # Flying, 9 Hex Rad # Life & Death 3d6 Flash, 6d6 EB # 16 or in Space # or Pushing To determine effects, you need to think about where she is and what's going on. Use both columns for PRE effects. The Manifest & Size columns are cumulative, so if she were under stress outdoors, there would be Light, Heat, 3d6 Flash & 6d6 EB in a 10 hex radius, and her PRE would be plus 20. Needless to say, these powers are also all Zero End, Independent, No Conscious Control, Linked to her EC, and Triggered by Stress. A really nice GM would allow it to be Selective Fire, since she rarely toasted X-men. Real Name: Jean Grey Height: 5'6" Weight: 110lbs. Hair: Red Eyes: Green
ORIGIN: No flames
please. I acknowledge ahead of time how huge, wide open, and subject
to interpretation such a powerful character as Phoenix will be.
It should be as easy to get people to agree on how to write-up
Superman. :) I noticed that Phoenix wasn't on either the deejay/scm
site nor on the GNBORH, so I figured it was not because of oversite,
but because everyone else was smarter than to try and tackle such
a big one. Not me :) Like I say, this is JEAN GREY + PHOENIX,
and really only her in the like ten issue span where the Phoenix
force hadn't gotten out of hand, where it was still a new &
positive thing that hadn't gotten "Avatared" & grandiose
yet. I did the best I could with the "Phoenix" Aura.
Maybe it should be 'inside' the EC. Consider this version 1.0
and CoNsTrUcTiVe criticisms are welcome. I'll post a second version
if/when some more thoughts or help comes to me on the subject.
TACTICS: boom!
COSTUME: see above (forgive the artwork please)
PERSONALITY: This is my gamma spin of the Green & Gold Marvel, when she was still in her "I'm half Jean Grey" state of mind. I didn't feel like bothering with all the Accidental Changes, Multi-form & junk associated with the Dark Phoenix problems.
BACKGROUND NOTES: This is Phoenix how we wanted her to be, how IMHO the X-men thought she was, before she got all weird and cosmic, evil and let's not even talk about the coccoon, Madeline Pryor, etc. etc. etc. you know how they can't leave a good idea alone, they gotta rummage through every good character, rant, rave, grumble, grumble... remember when X in a title meant something...rant, grumble, grumble...
