Its name is Hammer Drone.​
_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - From the deep recesses of Green Lanterns' minds, comes the creative physical manifestation of the Mech Warrior - a powerful robot like android that is efficient in its assaults on the enemy and is notorious for its towering presence and high constitution. This Mech Warrior is a non-sentient construct made completely out of Green Energy that flows from a Green Power ring and the one that wears it.
_________________________________________________________________

-Rulings and Clarifications-
  • Base Clarification: Green Construct (Mech Warrior) is a double-based figure.
  • Q: So when does the Green Construct get to take a turn during the Green Lantern's turn?
    A: During the part of the turn where that Green Lantern would normally make one or more attacks, which would be after that Green Lantern moved and before it did any after taking a turn special powers.
  • Q: Can I use Green Construct Creation to place previously destroyed Green Constructs?
    A: No. Once a Green Construct you control is destroyed, it is out of the game.
_________________________________________________________________

-Combinations and Synergies-

Incoming Synergy:
  • As a Green Construct, while Green Construct is adjacent to Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) cannot be attacked and if Green Construct would be destroyed while adjacent to Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) may roll for his Sustained Willpower special power.
  • As a figure that starts the game off the battlefield, Green Construct has these Off-the-Battlefield Synergies.
  • As an Energy Construct, Green Construct has these Energy Construct Synergies.
  • As a Huge figure, Green Construct has these Huge Synergies.
Outgoing Synergy:
  • Due to the Green Construct Creation special power, Green Construct can only be placed on the battlefield before taking a turn with a Green Lantern. Current Green Lanterns.
  • Due to the Green Construct Control special power, Green Construct can only take a turn instead of attacking with a Green Lantern. Current Green Lanterns.

Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

NAME = GREEN CONSTRUCT
SECRET IDENTITY = MECH WARRIOR

SPECIES = ENERGY
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CONSTRUCT
PERSONALITY = RESOLUTE

SIZE/HEIGHT = HUGE 13 (DOUBLE-SPACED)

LIFE = 2

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 120

GREEN CONSTRUCT CREATION
Green Constructs do not start the game on the battlefield. After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, you may immediately place one Green Construct you control that is not on the battlefield on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of that Green Lantern. You may not create any additional Green Constructs this turn. If you no longer control any Green Lanterns, destroy all Green Constructs you control.

GREEN CONSTRUCT CONTROL
After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, instead of attacking with that Green Lantern, you may take a turn with any Green Construct you control. Green Constructs may only attack, move, or take a turn in this manner. You may not take any additional turns with other Green Constructs this turn.

DOUBLE ATTACK
When this Green Construct attacks, it may attack one additional time.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Based loosely off of both Iskra and the Rechets:

GREEN CONSTRUCT CREATION
Green Constructs do not start the game on the battlefield. After revealing an OM on any chosen Green Lantern's Army Card you control, you may immediately place this Green Construct on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of the chosen Green Lantern. While this Green Construct is in play, you may take a turn with this Green Construct instead of attacking with the chosen Green Lantern. This Green Construct may only attack, be moved, or take a turn in this manner. If the chosen Green Lantern is destroyed, you must also destroy this Green Construct.



There are a lot of bases to cover on this one, so I could be missing something. Please look over it carefully. But if that works, then we could give Kyle this:


ARTISTIC FLARE
After taking a turn with this Green Lantern, you may immediately take a turn with any Green Construct that was created by this Green Lantern.

That would allow Kyle to create the GC, move himself, either attack himself or take a turn with a Green Construct (because of the Green Construct Creation power), then take a turn with a Green Construct. Basically he can do everything any other GL can do with a GC, only once he is done, he can take an additional turn with the GC. At best, it is still only two turns, either a turn with Kyle and a turn with the GC, or two turns with the GC.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

That wording may need a tad bit of cleaning up, but I do believe it covers all the essentials! :)
Spidey, I really hope we keep the Constructs to one power each, honestly, even the unique huge ones like this.
Also, I'd rather see the life and defense switched. I see Constructs as big, powerful things that dissipate after a big attack or two. They're tough but don't have staying power.
Oh, and what gives with not linking this in the main thread?

That would allow Kyle to create the GC, take a turn with the GC, move himself, then either attack himself or take another turn with the GC. Basically his opening move with the GC would be much more effective than other GLs.

Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I updated the above post with Spidey's suggestion.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

lol, touche. I'm annoyed just because it seems like it's becoming a trend with Necro not doing it either. :p Gotta get us back on track here!
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I agree that our constructs should have a low life of 2 or 3 at the very most.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Also, I think that one power per Construct would be best, not including Super Strength and Flying of course.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I think the species should be Construct ... and personality ... Subservient, maybe? Mindless? Automated? Controlled?
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I like the idea of this one getting any synergy from Robots, Soulborgs, etc. though.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Why? It's not an actual robot, just a construct of it. I like it not getting those synergies ...
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I went ahead and put the only wording for the summoning power that we have in the first post. That will help give people something to look at and discuss. Also, the Robot species didn't catch on, so I changed it to ENERGY because that is in fact what it is, just energy. Spidey, you can do what you want in here obviously, but I felt it was necessary to get more than just place holders on the front page if we want people to participate. And I know you are busy with life.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

I'd prefer a species of Construct. That way these Constructs are unique to themselves and any other Energy beings we have won't be treated the same way. :)

Can you think of any character we would create whose species would be Energy? I can't.
Species is what you are, right? What the heck is a Construct if not Energy? It is Energy in the most basic understanding of it.

Other ideas (though I don't know why Energy isn't perfect :roll:)
Power
Plasma
Hard Light
Thought
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Oh, and I saw that you (Bats) had suggested Constructs as a species, but there are lots of characters (or at least a few) that could have that class.
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Technically, it shouldn't really have a species at all, because it's not, you know, alive ... which is why I think the species should best describe what it is if it's not a form of life rather than what material (energy/thought/etc.) it's composed of. To me, that description is "construct."
If we go with the "what's it made of" approach, "energy" is certainly fine. I'm just not sure it's the best approach.

Do you think leaving it blank would be the best approach?
 
Re: Green Construct Thread - Design Phase

Btw, I don't at all agree with all of these, or even necessarily most, but here are some characters you could argue for having "Energy" as a species:

* Subverted (sometimes) by the Celestials in the Marvel Universe. They're composed of a very intense and powerful form of energy — which is intangible and can't do much of anything on its own. It makes a very handy source of energy for the Humongous Mecha that they essentially "wear".
o Does that make the Ide from Space Runaway Ideon an anime example of a Celestial?
* Quite a few appear in Marvel Comics. Two notables are Living Laser, a photonic being made of light, and Klaw, who is composed of solidified sound. Both were human supervillains who got an upgrade into energy beings.
o X Men's Phoenix, originally just Jean Grey with a God Mode power upgrade, was famously retconned into an alien Energy Being after the executives wanted to bring back Jean but have her not be guilty of mass murder.
o And Wonder Man, too (technically he's made of ionized matter, which contains a lot of energy).
* Superman briefly became an energy being for a reason vaguely explained as overdosing on sunlight. Being Superman, his new energy powers were just as off the charts as his Flying Brick powers. He once magnetized the Moon to keep it from crashing into Earth. He could turn into a solid being though, which was handy for Clark Kent.
o All Star Superman features a brief appearance by things that look like energy beings, but it turns out they actually have some physical presence. Their energy patterns are contained inside some kind of biogenic crystaline structure filled with a conductive gas. In layman's terms, they're living neon signs.
* A subset of this trope, especially in comic books, is the idea of the "man in the can" — the energy being that needs to be kept in a containment suit, lest he lose all coherency and possibly wipe out Detroit. Examples include:
o Wildfire from The Legion Of Superheroes.
o Captain Atom from The DCAU.
o Fuji from Stormwatch, whose suit provides some... interesting side effects. Due to his form being extremely sensitive to vibrations, he has an orgasm every five minutes.
+ This is explicitly said to be because he is made out of plasma (ionized gas), not Pure Energy.
+ Lately it was revealed his bosses found out about the orgasms and had his suit outfitted with dampeners.
o Negative Man from the Doom Patrol has the ability to release an energy form capable of amazing feats, but only for one minute at a time.
+ For that matter, Antibody from DP 7 (The New Universe) had basically the same ability.
o Johann Krauss of Hellboy spinoff BPRD (and the films of the main series) is composed of "ectoplasm" (a "spiritual energy" similar to Mana) in a containment suit.
+ Actually, at least according to the (not always internally consistent) cosmology of the Mignolaverse, Ectoplasm is a bit more than spirit energy. The spirit energy still needs a... medium, if you will, to interact with the physical world. This is achieved by combining with fluids from the channeler's own body. Herr Kraus is composed of what was once his own blood, bile, spit &... semen. Yes, that's right, he's basically a walking condom.
* Green Lantern villain Parallax is made of... fear, anyway it acts just like an energy being as does Ion (made of Willpower) and The Predator (made of love).
o Green Lantern Dkrtzy Rrr is described as a "bio-sentient mathematical equation". Why, yes, it's an Alan Moore creation. Why'd you ask?
* Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen sometimes behaves as though he were an energy being, even though he has a perfectly physical body. On the other hand, he doesn't seem to need it too much, since he quickly makes himself a new one after being disintegrated again at the end of the story.
o He can teleport, turn intangible, has telekinesis, and can manipulate his own size and color. As the page description says, the definition of "energy being" is pretty complicated, but if this guy doesn't qualify, what does?
* E Man is about an energy being alien who comes to Earth and can turn himself into whatever he wants. Hilarity Ensues.

I don't know ... that would look kind of odd, wouldn't it?
