Character Bio - Determined to stop all things wrong with society, especially the madness that complimented the Gotham City Press, young Lonnie Machin became the vigilante Anarky. He used bombs and other various gadgets to wreck havoc among the city, with good intentions in his mind. After his original defeat by Batman, Lonnie became a computer hacker while in a juvenile detention center. He later returned to his role as Anarky and became the CEO of Anarco.

Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

NAME = ANARKY
SECRET IDENTITY = LONNIE MACHIN

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = STRATEGIST
PERSONALITY = REBELLIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 110

INCITE RIOT
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Anarky, you may move each Common Citizen you control as long as that Citizen ends its move adjacent to an opponent's figure. You may then attack with every engaged Common Citizen you control. You may only use this power once per game.

GRAPPLING HOOK 30
Instead of his normal move, Anarky may move 1 space with Grappling Hook. This space may be up to 30 levels higher or lower.

ELECTRIC STUN BATON
If Anarky inflicts one or more wounds on an adjacent Unique Hero with his normal attack, you may roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll for each wound inflicted this turn. If you roll 16 or higher, you may remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from the defending figure’s Army Card.

I like the direction.

Incite riot is cool, but I think it needs a cap. You could potentially have a crapton of attacks, which could possibly be pretty powerful (Especially with Jameson or Stryker). I'd be fine with moving every citizen if we dropped the attack portion of it, and that would be plenty powerful for me, since citizens are mainly Deathreavers, anyway.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Incite Riot is realllly powerful. I think it might be better as a "once per game" instead of "once per round."

His stats look a tad high. I'd rather see 4/5 or 5/4 than straight up 5/5.

For the Baton, you inflict wounds, you don't deal them.

I like the left box, but I'm iffy on the personality.

Good power set all together! Nice start.

Edit: I'd also be plenty cool with making Incite Riot just a movement power and being once per round.

I agree on all counts. :up:

Maybe Cynical or Nihilist for a personality? I don't know the character at all, but from his gimmick, those sound like they might fit.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Cynical would fit. Brilliant would too, but Prodigy already covers that. Rebellious actually would as well.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Don't know the character at all. Powers look mechanically ok, but Incite Riot is way too powerful.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I agree with Bats on the stats*.

Electric Stun Baton should be limited to Unique Heroes, otherwise, I like the power. :)

I'm wondering if Grappling Hook needs the full Flying wording(move over water, figures, etc.) or if the simplified version you have works fine. I know Drake's Grapple Gun has the full wording, but that just may be a case of the classic designers being extra careful. I'll also say that I'm not really a fan of 1-space movement powers, due to their very limited usefulness, but I won't make an issue out of it.

I agree on Apolitical not fitting. That implies an apathy toward politics, which really doesn't seem to fit Anarky. I like the Cynical suggestion.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I don't know anything about this guy, but I agree that Incite Riot is too powerful as is. Like Bats said, perhaps once per game. I mean how many times are you going to incite a riot in the short amount of time taken place during a battle? :)
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I do like the ultra-powerful version that you can only use once per game. Very Anarky-ish!

I like Rebellious as the personality.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Alright, so I believe we all agree that Incite Riot should be once per game. :up:

So the main issue here is the personality. Since Apolitical doesn't seem to be ideal, I'll put up a small poll:

Would you prefer:
A) Cynical
B) Rebellious
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

B. I don't think he's truly cynical. If he was, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I'll go with whoever knows the character best. :)
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I prefer A, but I don't know the character well (or at all), so I'm with A3n and Hahma. :)
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I'm cool with either, so I'll go LD's choice. I think they both fit in their own way.

Btw, I think we should restrict Incite Riot to the Civilians specifically, not all Citizens, because Unique Hero Citizens might have some of those messy before/after/during attack powers to worry about. Just doing Civilians still hits the theme we want, but makes it a lot easier to vet as well.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Maybe just make it Common Civilians then.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

That would work fine as well. Though if we ever make any more of those, we'd better be aware of the interaction here. :)
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I just noticed that you upped the Attack and Defense from 4 in your original design to 5, Scape. Why is that?
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I'm liking the write-up so far. He will help the civilians see more table time in my local games.

I don't know this character either, so whichever the LD chooses is good for me.

4/4 definitely feels more correct for the character, IMO.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

Bring Incite Riot to once per game and I'm solid on this one ostensibly. And B for the personality.
 
Re: The Book of Anarky - Design Phase

I kind of like Incite Riot dropping the attack and making it once per round. Otherwise his main gimmick is his stun baton, and I have a feeling the character thematically should be rioting rather than grappling and baton-ing.

Mechanic-wise though, it'd be fine. :)

I'd definitely be cool with that approach as well. And restricting it to just movement would alleviate any concerns with using it with all Citizens that I have.
