trdl sol a TRDL Character Factory, No. 68: Sol Invictus

Sol Invictus is one of the most powerful characters in TRDL Mythology, and was a member of the multi-national crisis response team Rampart, before his retirement and self-imposed exile.

Art and Origin: Thom Chiaramonte

:::

Sol Invictus

Name: Unknown
Affiliation: Rampart

Attributes:

Melee: 35
Reflex: 40
Muscle: 75
Vigor: 100
Acumen: 25
Observation: 20
Will: 60

Life: 250
Influence: 105

Abilities:

Star Core: Sol Invictus has been fused with the literal core of a dying star. His physiology has adapted beyond that of normal dimensional matter, in order to contain it. He can release solar radiation in minute doses, or in waves, able to superheat small objects or level an urban center with a thought. His power is considerably greater than anyone on Earth realizes. He also has the ability to levitate and teleport at will. His physiological changes have also made him virtually impervious to harm.

Solar Energy Generation: Sol Invictus enjoys a virtually immeasurable level of solar energy generation and control as a latent posthuman ability. Not an artificial posthuman in the traditional sense, and a recipient of this Ability from unknown means, little real data has been collected on the limits of his power, other than that which Rampart scientists have been able to cautiously measure. His Ability is at approximately 1000 Intensity, Range and Speed, and he may manipulate his internal energies in a number of ways, including Levitation and Flight at 60 IV, Molecular Teleportation at 70 IV and virtual invulnerability to Physical, Energy and Temperature-based Attacks [80 AP]. He does not need to eat, drink or sleep.

Limitations: Sol Invictus operates under a series of self-imposed and psychologically reinforced psycho-active blockers. Rampart scientists and team psychologists assisted him with his requested conscious limits on his Abilities, as his fear of accidental release of his … Read on for more awesome…

th trdltr cheetah TRDL Tribute: Cheetah [GoldDiggers]

This is a piece done for the This Week Jam, the subject being Cheetah, from GoldDiggers…
I’ve never read GoldDiggers, or I think any of Perry’s comics, but I was astounded to see so MUCH of it on Antarctica Press’ site. A number of them are available for free download or online viewing, for those interested. Me? I just see Catlady in Indiana Jones stylie. That’s pretty much good enough for me!

Hey R3 gang,

This is mainly for those of you that have blogs and what not. As a web designer, when it comes to promoting a web site I just finished designing, we leave that up to the PR department which promotes are clients’ web sites in print and direct mail.

As many of you know, since November 12th, I’ve launched my "Capes ‘N’ Babes" web comic strip and I’m currently trying to figure out ways to publicize it or get the word out. So far, I have Project Wonderful ads, business cards and postcards. I will also be at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC June 20-22nd.

Thom, how did you go about getting the word out when you were first starting R3? Darren, how did you get word out about your various blogs> Just curious if people could give some things that might have helped them. It just seems to me that since November, I should have more then 50 unique visits to the strip.

th trdltr liz2 TRDL Tribute : Liz Sherman [Hellboy Animated]

This is a piece done for the R3 Jam, the character being Liz Sherman of hellboy lore.

I chose to draw her incarnation as seen in the Hellboy Animated film Storm of Storms, which I own, but haven’t yet seen. The character design plates that were released on the supernets were amazing, and the design logic, the colorway, and even the cool posture of the original design were very inspiring to me. I had to draw her!

trdl player a TRDL Character Factory, No. 66: The Player

The Player is a member of the Australia/NZ regional posthuman defense team, Alchera.

Concept, Design and Art: Joao Marques
Background: Thom Chiaramonte and Joao Marques

:::

The Player

True name: Kevin McLean
Affiliation: Alchera

Melee: 10
Reflex: 20
Muscle: 10
Vigor: 10
Acumen: 30
Observation: 20
Will: 30

Life: 50
Influence: 80

Abilities:

Environment Suit: The Player wears a technologically sophisticated life support suit, designed to keep researchers alive over several days with minimal interaction with their environment. He can survive without food, water or rest for up to three weeks, thanks to the suits recirculation moisture reclamation system, and a specific combination of drugs and sensory adaptations, which allow him to ignore the effects of fatigue. An unintended side effect of the suit’s long-term use is addiction. The Player will wear the suit until he is unable to sustain consciousness, then slip into a light coma for several days while his body recovers. This recurring process of complete exhaustion and recovery has artificially aged McLean to approximately twenty years older than his chronological age. Despite being in his early twenties, he looks, and feels, much older. The suit also offers modest protection from physical attacks [20 AP], and virtually unlimited resistance to electrical and energy attacks [60 AP]. Under normal atmospheric conditions the life support system has exceptional intensity and duration [30 IV], and under pressurized or vacuum conditions the life support system has above average intensity and duration [10 IV].

Virtual Light Synthesis: The Player can generate hard light simulacrums of individuals and environments manifested from the subconscious of his target. The simulacrum created is, by every sensory definition, real, and will exist as long as The Player wills it. The primary latent posthuman Ability is Telecasting [40 IV; 40 RV]; In order to determine the victim’s greatest … Read on for more awesome…
