The Book of Casey Jones
The Book of Casey Jones C3G IDW WAVE 29 CHRISTMAS IN JULY Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle set. Its model number and name are #012 / Casey Jones. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Casey Arnold Jones is a young college student on a hockey scholarship. He had more love for his sports activities than his studies, as well as a keen love of vigilante street fighting. Upon his mother's death by cancer, his father became an alcoholic thug who would vent his daily frustration by beating his son. Casey did not fight back, due to a promise he had made his mother. On one such occasion, Casey was saved by Raphael, who at the time was a street vagrant with no memory of his past or his family. The two quickly became fast friends and fellow vigilantes. When Raphael was reunited with his brothers and their father Splinter, Casey gained them as friends as well. He and Raphael would regularly patrol the streets of Brooklyn in search of crime to punish. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
NAME = CASEY JONES
SECRET ID = ARNOLD CASEY JONES SPECIES = HUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = FIGHTER PERSONALITY = BRASH MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 4 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 130 FIRST ASSAULT 1 When attacking with Casey Jones, if the defending figure was not adjacent to Casey at the start of this turn, Casey receives 1 additional attack die. RECKLESS FIGHTER After attacking, Casey Jones may attack again. During this attack, all excess shields rolled by the defending figure count as unblockable hits inflicted on Casey Jones by that figure. IN OVER HIS HEAD After taking a turn with Casey Jones, if he is engaged you may take a turn with one Ninja or Fighter Hero you control. During this turn that figure may only attack a figure engaged with Casey. After using this special power, you may not take a turn with any other figures.
Spoiler Alert!

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
I can't remember which mini I have but I'll post once I figure it out and if it's the one we decide on I can take the pics.

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
Will all the Vigilante synergies be odd for him? He'll be a better teammate to Robin and Batgirl than Raph.
I wonder if both Reckless powers are needed? Between a likely Reckless personality and two Reckless powers, that's a lot of Reckless! I wonder if you wouldn't be better served going with one of the two Reckless powers and swapping in a different third power (maybe something to do with his skates to help him move better?). Right now he has three powers that basically say: move him into engagement, but be prepared for him to die and a turtle to take over. Which is cool and feels like him, but not a ton that's dynamic. I do like the bonding (though it overlaps with regular Vigilante bonding, so it needs language capping it - and you might consider a different class. Brawler?). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
I'm fine with a class change and Brawler would work, but the fact that he is so reckless keeps him with the turtles since he's likely to die with order markers. At least that was the thought when we brain stormed him.
And he does play well with Raph as is. They practically fight each other for the chance to be the one fighting. and Yeah he does need the "and no other figures" bit in his power. It would be nice to give April a sidekick power that lets her tag along with a turtle or Casey though so that if no turtles are left he'd still be able to have April or a Robin type character tagging along.

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
Something like this...lets that option hang out there.
NINJA TURTLE BACKUP After revealing an Order Marker on this card and before taking a turn with Casey Jones, you may first take a turn with any Ninja Turtle you control. If you do, you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control. When Casey Jones is destroyed, you may immediately remove any unrevealed Order Markers from this card and place them on any Ninja Turtle card you control.

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
I like the stats where they are. I prefer Brash for the personality and Fighter for the class. I like Reckless Engagement and Ninja Turtle Backup but I think Reckless Fighter could use a tweak. What do you think of this?

Quote:
The reason it evolved is I had the reckless power from one of the robin or batgirls with the reverse counter strike and someone I thought talked me into changing it to this so that it is a choice...you go in for the second shot to try and aggressively take out the opponent but if you fail...you get smacked. Sort of made him stronger against the weaker squads (mousers, foot) but not something you'd risk the second attack against a Shredder unless it was for a miracle shot at getting that last wound. Also I forgot to update the power set with the following... Quote:

Yeah, he got less reckless after a year.

Re: Book of Casey Jones (Breathing Period)
I didn't comment earlier but I like Brash as well and Fighter could work but for those that have an issue with Vigilante is Fighter and the Heroes for Hire synergies OK...
For the record I don't have an issue with him bonding with either. I think it makes him more interesting and I don't think it will drive up his cost any at all as I believe his OM recovery and bonding with the Turtles outweights his bonding with Vigilante Sidekicks and such.
