Character Challenge 102: Speedster
Rapide is the speedster of my meta-verse. He is one of my earliest characters that I created for GURPS: Supers. His costume is supposed to resemble an ambulance. I didn’t have time go all crazy and design a scene. Instead, a bit of zypping practice. His personal best is 88 miles per hour (see what I did there?).
Rapide
Henri Marchand worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in Montréal, PQ, Canada until his hyper-physiology registered a false positive on a drug test. His employer sent him to “rehab.†In actuality, it was an illegal mutant detention and research facility. Henri managed to escape. He has not let the experience deter him from using his skills and abilities to help others.
He now works under an assumed name at a Bien matinal! convenience store on Autoroute-15, just north of St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu. During his off hours, he listens to emergency radio and races to the scene as Rapide – often beating first-responders.

Character Design Challenge 101: Gamma Madness!
A random name challenge using donjon’s SciFi Random Generator. Out of the ten characters, I only had time to design one.
Andrah: Female Gelatinous Saurian. Andrah is tall, with red scales and bright yellow eyes. She wears sports gear and wields a sawed-off shotgun. She is impish and mischievous.

Character Design Contest One Hundred!
Jeff’s instructions we’re simple: “I want to see your best HeroMachine work of all time.”
I have created hundreds of characters and designs in HM. Almost impossible to pick my “best.” I entered “Winston and Ba-kawk” originally in Pop Quiz: Humanoids. Entries in that challenge were supposed to feature a Companion from the Humanoids. My design features Dinosaur Companions. Even after that mistake, Jeff gave me an honorable mention. Which really brightened my day.
So, here he is. Just a guy walking his dog.
Winston and Ba-kawk
I’m sure this will give you a chuckle. The Cosmic Protectorate are the alter egos of Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Character Design Challenge 99: Wingin’ It
Design a character using items from Backplane > Wings. While others went with winged heroes, I created a corporate logo and promotional poster.
Centurion Customs
Character Design Challenge 98: Electrifying!
“[C]reate the most awesome illustration possible featuring a redesign of an electrical character from the Electrical Heroes section of Public Domain Super Heroes.”
I went with Radior: “the X-Ray powerman, has electric/magnetic powers, possesses super strength, and is able to make a subject’s thoughts visible.â€
Radior (Rated M: Suggestive content)
The Drawing Contest For People Who Can’t Draw
This was hosted by special guest Ian Thomas Healy. Though I did not participate in this contest, there are some fabulous entries. Also, if you are not familiar with WordPress or self-publishing, Healy’s works are a great example. Being a Car Wars fan and recovering autoduellist myself, I like his auto-combat stories.
Character Design Challenge 97: Everyday Heroes
Design a “normal” or “real world” meta like those in the television shows Heroes and Alphas. To this day, I have problems with zypping. Haven’t given up. Celeste’s zypping could use some tweaking but I am overall happy with the result. At first, I wasn’t happy with her face. She seemed very cock-eyed and misshapen. Then again, she is going through the extremely awkward stages of being a teenager and a mutant!
Celeste:
Celeste is able to naturally generate and manipulate electricity. She is learning to control her powers. With concentration, she can light a bulb in her hand or jumpstart a car battery. It is harder for her to focus than fire a lightning bolt.The clothes in her wardrobe are blue, white, or yellow. Though she cannot control the weather, she often sports a motif featuring a cloud with a silver lining.
