ICON SUPERHERO #1: Archane

I think I go with four Superheroes. This sounds like a good number.

The first step is Origin: 5 = Our first superhero is a transformed superhero.

As the book sign: "The hero was a normal human but became superhuman through some outside agency, often an accident or experiment. One of the character’s abilities or powers (your choice) is increased by +2." I decide on which after I do the power work.

The second step is "Abilities". They are six abilities — three physical: Prowess, Coordination, & Strength — and three mental: Intellect, Awareness, and Willpower. Let's see what this superhero gets.

  • Prowess: 4
  • Coordination: 6
  • Strength: 4
  • Intellect: 4
  • Awareness: 5
  • Willpower: 8

35 > 20. If my total was lower then 20, I can discard this hero and restart. I see how many powers I get and see which one I get more I decide what to do with +2 thing.

The third step is decide how my powers my hero has. I roll a 7. That means I have 3 power. Now to decide on which power I have. First I have to roll on the type and then I had to roll to get a power. Then decide on it's power level.

  • 5 = Control Power: 6 - 6 = Wizardry. That had a "bullet" which means counts as TWO POWER! I going to magic one. Wizardry: 5 + 2 = 7
  • 10 = Offensive Power: 6 = Binding. I roll a d6. If odd, it's a whip — if even, it's part of the magic above. 5 = It's a whip. Whip (Blinding): 5

I will add +2 to Wizardry to get 7. Next step is Specialties: 2

  • Occult = The superhero/super-heroine is dealing regular with magic-based villains (ghosts, warlocks, witches, werewolves, vampires, zombies, etc.)
  • Stealth = The superhero/super-heroine is very sneaky.

Next step is Stamina. That means adding Strength + Willpower together. 4 + 8 = 12.

The next step is Background:

"Centuries ago, Archane annoyed Athena with giving her a ego that would make Zues green with envy. As the myth goes — Athena dare Archane to a loom contest. Athena went first — and did a quilt that give honor to her follow gods and goddess. Archane went next — and create a real insulting quiet to the goddess and goddess including Athena turning Mesuda into her monster. Angry, Athena transformed Archane into a spider. What the myth didn't say is that this make Hades laugh — a rare event,. So he took the spider as a pet — promise new human for her once she died. As for everyone, death come calling for — and Hades took her Archne's soul body to the future where she was in place in the soul in a dead female fetus of Susan Spinner. This surprised Susan Spinner — and her husband, Steven Spinner. They decide to call their daughter, Athena Spinner. When she 18, she discovered that Hades give her magic to make up for the embarrassed of being turn a spider in her past life."

The next step is Appearance:

"As Athena Spinner, she appears to a normal 18 woman with brown hair and black eyes usually dressed in a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and sandals — a modern-day take on how she was dressed as a human back in ancient Greece. As Archane, she appears to a normal 18 woman with brown hair and black eyes dressed in a long yellow and orange dress, a brown belt that where her whip when not in use hangs, and sandals."

The next step is figuring out the hero's Determination: I had 4 to remove from six. The Wizardry counts a 2 while I had to remove one for Willpower. That's makes Determination for two. Since Hades was behind this — I decide to make him a contact for Archane. Archane uses "Holy Hera" to make her act for ancient Greecian while in her hero outfit. For Challenges, I decide that Athena periodically sends dares to her to her — either just to mess with her, testing her goodness, or testing for future job — Archane hadn't decide on what Athena is doing the dares for yet.

The correct name for the mythological character is Arachne. Or are you playing with the term "Arcane?"
