I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.

Why not just play a descendant of Achilles? I mean, it's the obvious choice. Or something strange and unique, like one of the old Japanese gods. You could be a sumotori. :P

Achilles doesn't really have a version of his power, it just seems to be the exact same thing as the demigod o.o

UNBEATABLE in any form of CQC seems a bit... Overkill to me, but, I'm not the GM.

I will accept superhuman weapons skill as a power. "Unbeatable" is sort of begging me to throw an enemy at you that can beat you, whereas weapons skill is more a combination of the presence of mind to see the threat, the knowledge to recognize it for what it is (a feint or a real attack, for example), the ability to stay calm long enough to deal with the attack, and the skill and instinct to make effective attacks of your own.

Basically, no one is unbeatable. Even Chuck Norris got his ass kicked by Bruce Lee.

VIBRATIONS SO GOOD LIKE A SUNKIST!
Name: Rui He-Ping
Patron: Zhu Rong
Divine Relic: huǒ: this is a ring that has a red gem in the middle that allows Rui to summon flames at his will along with control any flame he wishes. This ring also protects him from flames so he can't be burned or let alone killed by them, but he must keep his focuse for that.
Appearance:
Spoiler: click to toggle

Personality: Rui is very proud of himself and the things he accomplishes. He only fights in the name of justice and will even put his own life on the line to save someone. Bing a very respectable individual and never saying anything to insult someone, his sense of justice is far too strong to let him wave in the middle of a battle. Of course through all of that he isn’t opposed to having a little fun.
History: Rui grew up a middle class Chinese boy. He didn’t have a very tuff life other then people trying to pick on him, but that never ended well for the other person. Rui never allowed anyone to pick on the weak let alone take advantage of anyone. In the back of his mind the only thing that he ever cared about was helping the weak and or those who can’t help themselves. One night in his sleep he was visited by the god Zhu Rong. The god spoke to him and told him what he must do, normally at first he didn’t believe what was going on so when he awoke he thought it was just a dream. That was until he looked down at his hand and noticed a ring. He wasn’t sure what to do with it, but then out of nowhere he started using it as if he had it his entire life. Rui from that day on went off to start the journey that the god of flames had given him.

Other: Shoop da woop.

I agree wholeheartedly.


Though... Bruce Lee got his ass kicked by death, and Chuck Norris is still alive... I think he may have"Lost the battle" but "won the war."

Alright. I'm stuck. Dealing with my Aphrodite champion, I don't know what ability to give her. I was afraid that the power to make men fall in love with her was a little too godmoding... Thoughts?

I suppose that could work, but I guess I would just have to await the approval of the GM.
And, it's James Crane, Soul's character.

What about powers of ultimate persuasion through touch Comix? Like, as soon as she's touching somebody, she can have them do whatever she wants. When she lets go, they return to normal - though they will still have to do anything she asked them to do whilst she was under their control.
