Who wants to play the Icons random character game?

[Renny]

How's about we roll up some random characters for the superhero game, Icons?

If you want to play along, here's what you do.

Phase 1: Origin!

Roll 2d6 and post the total here.

I'll do mine first so I can show you as we go along.

Steve: I rolled 4+5 = 9. That gives me a Gimmick, which means all of my powers come from a device of some kind. I also get a +2 to one of my mental abilities later.

Bugger double 1. so mines a two

[rogartheranger]

Ok, I got a 7!!! Is that any good?

[Renny]

Kevin: You are Trained. Your hero is a highly skilled human; with “powers” that come from superior training or specialized equipment. You gain three bonus specialties, but two fewer powers.

Chris: You have a Birthright: Your hero was born with or destined to develop superhuman powers. Your character gains your choice of one additional power, which should be innate, and not a device, or +2 to a rolled power level.

[Renny]

Phase 2: Abilities !

Roll 2d6 for each of the following abilities and post the results here.
Abilities are;

Prowess, Coordination, Strength, Intellect, Awareness and Willpower.

[kevinrolfe]

Prowess, 7
Coordination, 7
Strength, 9
Intellect, 10
Awareness 4
Willpower.5

[Renny]

Kevin: Your ability scores are as follows, then.

Prowess: 5
Coordination: 5
Strength: 6
Intellect: 6
Awareness: 3
Willpower: 4

These are rated on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the best, of course.

Phase 3: Powers!

Ok, now onto the good stuff. Each of you roll 2d6 to determine the number of powers you receive.

[kevinrolfe]

[Mykilus]

I rolled an 8

[Renny]

We'll wait for Chris before moving on.

[rogartheranger]

I rolled an 11 !!!!

[Renny]

Ok, chaps. I'll post your results later.

[Renny]

Ok, here's the number of powers you have;

Kevin: You have 3
Mike: You have 4
Chris: You have 5

Mixed bag there.

Next, for each power you have, roll 2d6 twice to determine the type of power and the specific power. The first 2d6 determines the type eg Offensive, Defensive, then the second 2d6 result determines the specific power. Please list the results in order of roll.
