Event Description:
Hero System is the longest-running and most popular superheroic RPG, but it frightens people. “It’s too crunchy!” Is it though? Character creation can take some work, but that is true of any game. Once a character is created, I don’t believe that Hero System is any more difficult to use than any other game, and I can prove it to you! Hero is a “toolkit” that allows you to build powers as you envision them; Hero is capable of playing every genre from pulp to fantasy to sci-fi to heroic. Play a quick sample combat using Hero System with some pre-generated superheroic characters, and see for yourself. Spend some time and be a Hero!
Whirlwind stands at a statuesque 180 cm (5'11") tall, embodying the elegance and grace characteristic of her elven heritage. Her slim physique, weighing only 55 kg (121 lbs), accentuates her ethereal presence. She boasts long, flowing brown hair that cascades down her back, and her striking golden eyes reflect both her elfin nature and her fierce spirit.
Her supersuit is designed with a medieval theme, combining rich red and pristine white colours. The suit is meticulously tailored to enhance her lithe figure while allowing for maximum agility. With intricate patterns and a regal flair, the suit not only complements her beauty but also symbolizes her connection to both ancient traditions and her role as a powerful gladiator.
Kat is a relatively short woman, standing at 158 cm (5'2") with brown hair and brown eyes. She weighs 90 kg (198 lbs), though most of this weight is due to her gravity manipulation.

Kat is a serious person and has resting scowl face.

The suit is sleek and aerodynamic, tailored to reduce drag and allow maximum freedom of movement, essential for a speedster like him. It also features built-in compartments for small tools and gadgets, reflecting his role as a technician and navigator.
Standing at 188 cm (6'2") and weighing 70 kg (154 lbs), Niko's height and lean build give him a commanding yet agile presence.

Josh’s hair is dark and slightly tousled, giving him a perpetually youthful look. His eyes are sharp and observant, often glinting with curiosity and a hint of mischief.
Despite being born without legs, Josh carries himself with remarkable confidence and poise. Instead of legs, Josh uses a sophisticated piece of technology known as "The Squid," which has been permanently grafted onto his body. The Squid consists of several tentacles that extend from his torso. These tentacles are sleek and metallic, each ending in a three-finger pincer with a laser generator at its centre. The tentacles are in constant motion, adjusting and reacting to Josh's neural commands with fluid precision.
Josh's attire is typically functional, designed to accommodate the integrated technology of The Squid. He often wears a specially designed suit that integrates seamlessly with the tentacles, providing both support and additional protection. The suit is a blend of advanced materials that offer durability and flexibility, with built-in power conduits to supply The Squid's fusion generator.

This device, combined with the enhanced capabilities of The Squid, gives Josh a dynamic and formidable presence.
Josh's face is often lit up with a broad smile, and his demeanour is open and friendly. His extroverted nature and his knack for making friends are reflected in his approachable appearance. Despite the high-tech enhancements, there is a warmth and humanity in Josh’s eyes that endears him to those he meets.

Her weight is appropriate for her height, maintaining a fit and balanced 45 kg (99 lbs), which highlights her dedication to physical fitness.

Ronin's armour is a unique blend of the old and the new, mirroring her synthesis of samurai tradition with contemporary technology. The primary colours of her armour are dark red and brown, creating an aesthetic that is both earthy and visually imposing. The armour itself combines elements of traditional samurai gear with modern enhancements, featuring plates of high-tech material integrated with robust leather that allows for both protection and agility. This armour not only serves as her battle gear but also as a symbol of her identity, merging past with present.
Her katana is no ordinary blade. It features a green laser as a cutting edge, which not only enhances its lethality but also adds a visually striking element to her combat style. The green glow of the blade often reflects in her eyes during battle, emphasizing her connection to her weapon and her warrior spirit.
