FIREFLIGHT

”When I’m flying,no enemy is safe – nor friend.”

Fireflight combines a childlike sense of wonder with the soul of a daydreamer, resulting, unfortunately, in one major menace to airborne navigation. Near collisions and crashes come fast and frequent when he's around. If Aerialbots had to be certified to take to the air, he'd have been grounded for life long ago. Fireflight means well and has a good heart, he just can't help losing himself in the beauty of the world when seen from the sky. It's hard for his teammates to get too mad at someone so filled with wonder and innocence, but at the same time it's also hard to fly next to someone who's never paying any attention to where he's going.

Influences

Escapist, Gestalt Member: Early in the war, the Aerialbots responded to Optimus Prime's rallying call for additional support against the Decepticons and fought against the Seekers in the battle that followed. He and the Aerialbots also provided air cover when Trypticon emerged from the remains of the Toraxxis mega-refinery.

Origin

Seeker: Fireflight assumes the alt-mode of an F-4 Phantom II.

Role and Focus

Ranger (Scout): This role and focus comes from the GIJoe RPG Core Rulebook.

Essence Scores and Skills

Strength 7: Brawn +d6, Intimidation +d4, Might +d4

Speed 8: Driving (Aerial) +d6, Initiative +d2, Targeting +d6

Smarts 5: Alertness +d2, Culture +d4, Science +d4

Social 6: Animal Handling +d4, Persuasion (Diplomacy) +d6

Gaining Fireflight As A Contact

Fellow Autobot: If this Contact is on scene, the PCs can summon them for 1 round.

Daydreamer: Fireflight prefers to be distracted by the beauty of the world around him more than anything else. If the PCs spend their downtime with Fireflight discussing daydreams and idealistic futures, and succeeding on three DIF 16 Culture, Performance, and Persuasion Skill Tests, they gain Fireflight as a permanent Contact.

Allegiance Points: 3

Contact Perks

Fire Fog Missiles (3 Allegiance Points): Fireflight selects a 30 ft radius area that is filled with dense fog. All Skill Tests that depend on vision have a Snag while in the fog. The mist is also highly flammable, igniting if any fire or ballistic attacks strike or are made within the mist; dealing 1 Fire Damage to all creatures in the radius of the fog.

Fly Me Friendly (2 Allegiance Points): While  Fireflight may not pay attention to major threats, he is an expert at maneuvering out of the way of danger. AllPCs may still take Move Actions when Surprised.

Strafing Run (1 Allegiance  Point): Fireflight unleashes his weaponry, dealing 2 Sharp Damage to a Threat.

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Image
Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes. Al...

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...
