Title: Pied Piper?
Post by: USAgent on June 22, 2008, 08:13:44 AM
I would like to see you guys posts your ideas for a Pied Piper (using Tommy's Modern mesh).   I am not too familiar with this guy other than what I read of him in Count Down series.

Right now I have his stats as pretty much average (3's and 4's).
For Powers I have:
-basic low damage melee
-a direct hypnosis flute
-a direct disruption flute (I read on a site he can cause disruption with his flute, so would "disruption" on objects be right for him?)
-Rat control- low piercing homing projectile attack (as long as I can find a FX that will work)
-Sonic flute- a high stun beam attack

Thats all I have for him, I dont have any attributes for him though. Would any fit him?  maybe "beautiful" for his Hypnosis power, or should it just be left as a direct power?  Also Tommy's mesh incorporates different types of wind instruments, would they be for specific attacks?

Originally he just had a kind of hypnosis, but in latter years all sorts of other 'powers' get attributed to 'sonic' heroes/villains.
So you could have attacks that hypnotize, stun, loss of balance, anger, make objects explode, or just plain old impact/knock-back.
You can have 'area of effects' with all the above, or beams, or have them as projectiles.
Also, force fields for defence or attack, or even flight or invisibility are arguable as powers he might have.
Bear in mind also the (lame in my opinion) tacked-on revelation by Desaad in Countdown that the Piper is actually somehow using some aspect of the Anti-Life Equation, which sort of ups his power level a bit, maybe.
