My SotC character for upcoming game

[Storn]

Hi folks.  While I don't have the actual character in hand, I think I can get the gist of the character across.  Paka is holding the character sheets, just so he can keep it all in one place.

But my PC is Hadrian Helm, 2 fisted engineer/scientist, inventor of the Quantum Sphere.  Totally an ode to Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and their respective lovechild Adam Strange.

The concept was based on a illustration that I did several years ago for Hero 5th Ed.  I've drawn the pair there twice for Hero.  The other illo, I can't seem to find, either electronically or original.  Meybee I sold it. Happens.

Here is the pic:  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Storn/HadrianHelm.jpg

1st Phase:  Born to East coast money, industrialist father.  Grew up near Princeton, NJ.

2nd Phase:  Enlisted at 16 into the Royal Navy as volunteer.  Became a Lt. on a sub chaser, chased Baron Von Stirge, expert german submariner quite a few times.  Engineering and tinkering moved to the forefront, as the HMS Repulse became the fastest boat on the water.

3rd Phase:  Tyrants of Tyria.  After the war, working with theories of Einstien, Tesla, stumbled into the making of the Quantum Sphere and stepped into the dimension of Tyria.  A realm wracked by the heavy hand of the MInd Tyrants of Tyria.  Hooking up with the rebels and the beautiful Princess Alura, Hadrian found himself shifting between Earth and Tyria, always at the most inappropriate time.  He always comes back to the Princeton lab from Tyria, but going to Tyria?!?!?!  Of course it has to be into the clutches of some giant crab creature or other cliffhanger.

4th and 5th phases:  Here is where it gets a bit fuzzy w/o the sheets, as it weaves in the other characters.

Some Aspects I remember:

Princess Alura (of course!)
Tyrian Energy Pistol (capable of non-lethal quantum projections!)
Princeton Fencing Team/ Hyborean broadsword techniques
Tenacious (being a sub chaser requires a bit of perverence, I would imagine)
Dimensional Shifter

Some Stunts:

Grease Monkey
Tyrian Jet Pack
Tyrian Energy Pistol

I know that there are huge gaps.  I hope to get the character back from Paka and rejigger a couple of things, now that I have the pdf myself.

I'm really looking forward to playing Hadrian Helm!!!  Sorta a dream come true in a way... as I was reading the original Flash Gordan strips when I was in 7th grade from library collections.

Storn!  Storn!  You are giving me heart palpatations!

Good ones!

Sorry, man.  I'll post that character over on RPG.net at some point soon.

Ah!  I found the very first pic of this duo that I did for Hero games, waaay back in the day.  Kinda cool being able to actually play them now.

Hadrian is fast becoming one of my favorite characters to emerge from the playersphere.

awwww....

Iago, made my day.

Yeah, Hadrian is a character I'm really invested in, really like him.

Got a chance to continue the adventures of Hadrian Helm.  Link below to RPGnet thread... as well as some links to thee artwork done at the table and later on.

As requested on another thread, the Silver Wolf sketch done at the table.  As well as the Tyrian mind controled Army Intelligence dudes of Area 52.  The MInd Controlled MIBs was a really, really fast doodle.  Just the barest hint of the Tyrian mind control helmet that Judd mentioned during play.

And I wasn't happy with Dr. Stig's sketch from earlier.  Too boring.  Too staid.  I wanted to get some more emotion and capture more of what Jeff does at the table.  So I drew this....

If you are curious in the actual play of our Spirit of the Century game... the link that Judd has written up is here:
