[Help]Character Concept for Resistance Toon

Hey guys,I'm having some trouble to create this toon i'm planning,so here's the concept:

He's some sort of former Air Force Pilot or Flying-Armor from Japanese Defense Forces who defected to the Resistance.

I'm having some problems into selecting the Powerset to this one.I'd like to have something like War Machine from Marvel,but i don't think DP/traps would be accurate enought to reproduce big guns.

Also,concept ideas on a ex-pilot with super armor can and will be seen with love and cheer

By "defecting"I meant that he saw what Cole did to the goverment and went to fight against him.I might have written the wrong way,sry =/

Well, assuming you're sticking with Blasters or Corruptors... Recolored Rad, Fire or Energy might be good choices, maybe Sonic if you want to work in experimental tech. Unless you're tied to the idea of kinetic weapons, in which case AR is probably the only other alternative.

For secondaries, all I can think off offhand would be a recolored /Psi; try and pass it off as an experimental energy projecter (not neccessarily psychic in origin?).

Mind you, the basic concept could be stretched to include melee combat; think of a sabotage suit sent in against the really big targets. I'd suggest DB/Inv for that, since Katana might be a bit cliche.

Make a fire blast energy manipulation blaster.

>_>

I must warn you, you'll probably get a few people nagging you about your character being from Japan. [Japan doesn't exist in Praetorian earth anymore, only in Primal.]

^-- the above is because Praetoria's city is supposed to be the last city on Praetorian earth, which is why it's a 'utopia'. Then again, they never clarified if it WAS the last city, or ONE of the last cities.


Pilots....sonic might be good and say it's like...concentrated air pulses or something?

energy blast Recolored with orange and red(what my praetorian uses) looks alot like Solar-energy blasting, which would work for someone who takes to the skies often.

I'd been wondering about this myself, and couldn't find any definitive answer.

Is Praetorian Earth wild Devouring Earth territory across the entire planet except for the one city in the US, or are there other little pockets of civilisation across the globe?

If its just Nova Praetoria and nothing else it seems a bit limiting, to say the least.

Then again, there's no reason that there has to be one true Praetoria, what with it being a parallel dimension.

Do we even know that Praetoria is IN America?

Also, those badge descriptions COULD be stories cooked up by Cole and fed to the people. I.E. they are the common understanding of what is going on, but may not be the truth. If you have done any of the Loyalist Power arcs you KNOW just how often TPN broadcasts crap that is totally not the real story.

I would say that the OP's "concept" is pretty far afield of what could really be happening at the present day... unless his character is like 53+.

Thanks for digging out that info, Gold.
By the sounds of it, there's plenty of scope for non-American Praetorians. My own group from an experimental outpost in Europe have little to fear from canon by the sounds of it.

VERY good point.
I guess in many ways it doesn't matter. There are no nations as such anymore, has Cole established his capital on what used to be American soil?
Other than Cole and his Praetors being American, and Praetorian having some American/Western cultural bias, its really kind of a moot point.

In one of the Resistance arcs (on the Wardens' side, if I recall correctly) you have a chance to speak to an old homeless man in the sewer system that confirms that Praetoria was indeed built over what used to be America.

I've also seen some NPC text that mentioned something about rebuilding Tokyo, so Japan can't be a completely lost cause.
