_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Scar was a member of the Guardians of the Universe, a group of ancient beings who have taken responsibility for protecting the Universe itself. She was no different than the average Guardian until the day the Sinestro Corps attacked Earth. The Guardians of the Universe joined the fight against the Anti-Monitor. Scar was caught in his grip and burned with his power, giving her the scars she became named after.

After that experience, Scar became an increasingly militant voice on the council, often opposing more reasonable Guardians such as Ganthet or Sayd. She began to subtly manipulate events so that the Blackest Night prophecy would come to pass while the rest of the Guardians ignored the prophecy entirely. When the rest of the Guardians finally admitted that the Blackest Night was inevitable and began preparations for defeating it, Scar made her true allegiances clear by murdering a Guardian and imprisoning the rest. Turning to the remaining, horrified Guardians, she told them she's been dead since contact with the Anti-Monitor, and that her death allowed Nekron to contact her.

Scar was instrumental in summoning Nekron to Earth at the hight of the Blackest Night. When Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Indigo-1, Atrocitus, Larfleeze, Carol Ferris, and Saint Walker arrived on Earth to combat the Black Lanterns, Scar attempted to stop them. Scar seemed to be gaining the upper hand in their fight until all 7 of them combine their lights in a single great blast, destroying her for good.

Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

NAME = GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE
SECRET IDENTITY = SCAR

SPECIES = UNDEAD
UNIQUENESS = EVENT HERO
CLASS = REVENANT
PERSONALITY = DEVOTED

SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 3

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 9

THE SCARRED GUARDIAN
Order Markers cannot be removed from this card. If you win initiative and there is at least one Order Marker on this card, you may choose an opponent. That opponent must choose one of their figures to receive one wound.

BOOK OF THE BLACK
If there is at least one Order Marker on this card, you may add or subtract 2 whenever you roll the 20-sided die for another Undead card and all Black Lanterns you control add 1 die to their Attack.

THE BLACK LANTERN CORPS
Instead of taking a turn with this Guardian of the Universe, you may choose a Unique Black Lantern you control within 4 clear sight spaces and place a black Battery Marker on its card, if possible. If an enemy figure that is not an Android, Construct, or Undead would be destroyed by this Guardian of the Universe's attack or special power, place a black Battery Marker on each Black Lantern card you control, if possible.

Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

It was pretty quiet in the last chance thread, so let your thoughts be heard! Scar's main synergy will be the Black Lanterns, but her d20 boost also helps a few other Undead.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I know nothing about anything here but should her cost be only 250? The last paragraph in the bio makes it sound like she can take down some big players, yet she is cheaper than most of them. Should her power level be upped?
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I just copied the bio from comic vine, and I feel like they exaggerated there. She's as strong physically as your average Guardian, which the stats show.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Happy to see you getting back on the design horse, even if not yet at full speed. Doubly so to help with the Lanterns once more, as it's felt a little lonely without ya!

Dig the design.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I don't know the Black Lanterns very well yet, but this design is solid. Nothing too crazy here, just a neat support piece. Cool. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Messing on the calculator I have her coming in anywhere from 330 to 365, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her go up from 250.

I like her overall! No direct synergies with Nekron, but her placing black Battery Markers on your own troops (not him, which is good) helps him be more effective in saving them with Power Over Death, so that's cool.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

That's where I feel the calculator struggles a bit. It doesn't have any factor in place to consider the life and defense combination. Defense of 9 at 140 points seems a bit high when considering the life of only 3.

Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised to see it go up from 250. Just not expecting it to go past 300.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Yeah any time you use extremes in automatic calculating things get a bit weird.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I general I like that power set, and I think she'll made a nice addition to the Black Lanterns.

I'd recommend changing The Scarred Guardian to mirror Wisdom of the Council a bit more, since I think that sort of thing is cute.

WISDOM OF THE COUNCIL
Order Markers cannot be removed from this card. If there is at least one Order Marker on this card and all your Order Markers are on Oan Army Cards, you may add or subtract 3 from your initiative roll.

THE SCARRED GUARDIAN
Order Markers cannot be removed from this card. If there is at least one Order Marker on this card and all your Order Markers are on Undead Army Cards, you may add or subtract 2 whenever you roll the 20-sided die for another Undead card.

Her still being listed as a Guardian of the Universe gives her some weird semi-synergy with the regular Guardians - like if they're on the same team, and she's attacked, it lets them go on the offensive. I don't know if that's intentional or thematic, but I might suggest just going for "SCAR" here.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I like that semi-synergy, actually, since it could be before she was "outed" as evil and was just chilling with the other Guardians as one of them.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Thanks all. I'll probably start a 280 for testing.

I'm cool with that wording change, Johnny. I'm not sure about the "all OMs on Undead" requirement, though, as it limits her use with Nekron.

I can go either way on the name. If people strongly prefer it just be "Scar" let me know otherwise I'll keep it as-is.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

I like Guardian Of The Universe (Scar) here personally. I like when slightly more obscure characters with fairly common names have indicators like that. Lets the player know we're not making Scar the lion.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Ah, forgot that Nekron isn't an Undead - I just sort of figured all Undead army is the standard for BLs. Can be cut in that case!
 
Re: The Book of Scar (breathing)

Wording updated & points raised to 280.

I'll propose to move to initial testing.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (vote for Initial PT)

I think Book of the Black is going to do the most to help the faction. Where this faction struggles, IMO, is the Black Lanterns' low attack means they're not killing frequently enough to trigger their powers to get their charge.

yea though.
 
Re: The Book of Scar (vote for Initial PT)

Thoughts:

The Wannok-Man power is is pretty nasty, but probably fine at 280. It’s power is going to really fluctuate depending on the enemy team.

‘Ring Charge of Death’ sounds kinda silly to me, but one of these dudes was named after some beans, so maybe that’s thematic or something.

So anyway: yea
