The Earliad

In Villains and Vigilantes, you create characters by assigning a certain number of character points to your primary attributes (strength, endurance, agility, and so on) and by rolling on a series of tables to randomly determine your age, background, species (!), sex, super powers, and weaknesses. Then you're given some flexibility to change the results around a bit to create a hero that fits a certain theme. 

For the next V&V campaign I'll be participating in, I've created Bush League. Fresh out of high school, Preston Spender is a tall, strong, good-hearted kid; he's a natural athlete and enjoys spending time as a volunteer for  local search and rescue services. But then, one day, everything changed...(I don't know how Preston got super-powers; that will be revealed by the game master). 

Preston rolled the following powers and weaknesses: 

Experience levels (gives him an edge in succeeding at certain tasks) 
Heightened endurance
Armor
Willpower: pain resistance (difficult to knock unconscious) 
Physical ability: inertia (can't be knocked backward, so I made him a catcher on his high school team) 
Special weapon: baseball bat
Prejudice (any of his peers thinks he's a dumb jock)
Poverty 

The combination of my random dice rolls have resulted, I think, in a potentially interesting and capable hero. Maybe he's bush league for now, but he's just getting started; the big leagues might not be far off.
