POWERS

Spirit of Christmas: CL1000 As the embodiment of the spirit of giving Santa Claus has the CL1000 ability to channel this belief into a variety of effects, including but not limited to the following:
-Time Control: Santa can manipulate time with CL1000 ability, allowing him to deliver all his toys within a single night across any planet that believes in him.
-Teleport-Self: Santa uses this power in order to enter any structure in order to deliver his gifts to the good little boys and girls.
-Hyper-Consumption: This power allows Santa to consume all the tributes left out for him in appreciation of his delivery, normally milk and cookies.
-Cosmic Awareness: CL1000 awareness of the cosmos, primarily used to know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. Santa's Cosmic Awareness also alerts him to any threats to Christmas and the Spirit of Giving. This awareness can sometimes be a limitation as the cynicism and disbelief sometimes overwhelms him and he becomes jaded and wishes to give up, until someone rekindles his belief or some drastic event jumpstarts his drive to defend Christmas. He must make a Psyche feat against the intensity of disbelief in order to resist the initial apathy it instills within him, and another to rekindle it under the appropriate conditions.
-Linguistics: Santa can speak any and all languages with CL1000 ability.
-Redemption: Santa has been known to use this power on occasion to redeem criminals who aren’t totally lost to evil who use his image in order to commit crimes. As has been seen in Spider-man on one occasion he used this power in order to redeem a burglar. When doing so he normally gives them a normal bag of handcrafted toys to give out while waiting to turn himself and all his stolen goods over to the authorities.
-Immortality: Santa Claus no longer ages and is immortal, his life force sustained by the Spirit of Christmas. So long as someone somewhere believes he cannot die, and if some force were to seemingly slay him he will either be reborn or his slayer will be possessed by the Spirit of Christmas and remade into the new Father Christmas.
-Unlimited Karma: So long as there is belief in him Santa has access to an infinite amount of karma, so long as it is spent in some fashion, directly or indirectly, as part of his task as Father Christmas.
-Total Memory: Santa has CL1000 recall of everything about someone that applies to his role as Santa Claus. Examples include all good and bad deeds someone has committed and all the toys and things wished for on every Christmas by everyone on a planetary scope.
-Artifact/Mechanical/Elemental/Molecular Creation: If confronted with a situation where he has a need for it (such as confronting someone who might be turned from evil by it), Santa may materialize any gift desired by someone that somehow failed to get delivered while he or she was younger, save for weapons or other harmful items. These objects are automatically permanent, no feat roll required for duration.

Note: If something weakens the spirit of Christmas Santa will suffer a —1CS to all powers, Endurance, and Psyche cumulative for each week this effect is ongoing, down to feeble power rank for all power stunts, Excellent Endurance, and Excellent Psyche. These lost ranks are regained at a rate of 1CS per turn once the belief that sustains him is restored, until returning to their previous levels.

TALENTS

While most of Santa’s talents have yet to be revealed, it can be reasoned that he has Pilot-Reindeer driven sleigh, Business/Finance, Leadership, History (all during the time he’s been alive), and Religion. He also can be very persuasive; using his knowledge about someone’s past in order to fan their Christmas spirit if it’s been lost or buried somehow, or to get them to aid him during times when his powers are weakened due to growing cynicism and disbelief.

EQUIPMENT

Santa’s Bag: This seemingly innocuous large red velvet bag opens up onto a pocket dimension of CL1000 proportions, capable of storing all the toys Santa spreads across the world for the good boys and girls. He never needs to hunt around for any toy as it is automatically within easy reach whenever he reaches within, as the bag responds to his thoughts and moves the desired toy to the top. Due to its mystical nature the Bag’s material strength is effectively CL1000 rank and virtually impossible to destroy.

Santa’s Sleigh: Body-Unearthly Control-Unearthly Speed-CL1000 Protection-None. Santa’s sleigh appears like a normal, albet elaborate, winter sleigh drawn by eight reindeer, with room up front for as many as 2 passengers along with Santa, with the back taken up by his Bag. As a result of its mystical properties it can land upon and take off from any surface, including snow and ice-slicked roofs, with CL1000 ability.

Headquarters: Santa has a manufacturing facility somewhere near the North Pole, concealed by a CL1000 ranked illusion that makes the facility blend in with the surroundings and subtly diverts anyone who comes nearby around it. Only those invited or somehow powerful enough to piece the illusion are capable of entering.

Elves: Santa is served by a variety of small humanoids called elves, who serve as the production staff for his manufacturing plant. Sustained by the Spirit of Christmas they are endlessly cheerful and happily toil away for him. A typical Elf’s stats are below.

Agility: Good (10)

POWERS

Mrs. Claus is not known to have any powers, save those extended to her as part of her support role for her husband. The only obvious ones are that she partakes of the same immortality as her husband, as well as the ability to comprehend and communicate in any language. She is also likely well versed in the crafts and helps with the toy production when not tending to the duties of hearth and home. With the efforts to more modernize and liberate female characters she is sometimes shown having a more equal partnership with her husband and occasional attempts are made to alter things to make her the superior member of the pair (although this is clearly not the case and they at best have an equal partnership).

Tis the Season so moving Santa back up to the top for his holiday fun!

His Endurance should only be Shift-Z ( 500 )

just kidding.

Funny, I was going to say something like that. You beat me to it G.A.W.

Thanks for bringing him to the top Nightmask!

Not all elves are happy though...

Listen to the Elf's Lament by the Bare Naked Ladies

Nice tribute to the big guy, NM

Wow, Nightmask had a better idea than I had! Kudos to you!

Ben Riely

Thanks Ben. I think Taarna was the one asking about Santa stats years ago on the original forums and I wrote him up with as much as I could put together regarding Santa. Yours are pretty nice too, the song references next to each making use of the song was a nice touch.

Hehe! Awesome! It goes a long way in explaining a lot of the myths and abilities that kids often question lol

Why would Santa's fighting be beyond Poor? He's a lover, not a fighter (at least the drunk in the mall when I was a kid was).

Also, Mrs. Claus (first name: Paris) has to have Immortality too. She's been his wife for, like, forever, and according to her it sure feels like it.

Happy Holidays folks!

Because he's old enough and active enough he's not quite as unskilled as the average modern-day man and preserves the measure of self-defense ability more common when he was born.

It does list her with Immortality as part of her nature in supporting her husband she has to be able to live as long as he does.

> Happy Holidays folks!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Almost forgot it was time once again to bump Santa up to the top of the list so he can spread his holiday cheer once again!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!


now if only we could get a write-up for Kwanzaabot and the Chanukah Zombie...

Haven't seen those to do write-ups on them but Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

Can't believe I forgot to bump this up before now! Well here it is now for all to enjoy!

I like it, but I'd change one thing; Hyper-consumption. No real need for this with the whole time control thing. He simply gives himself enough time to enjoy the treats.

Uh oh.

UH OH!

Somebody's comin!

Mr. Claus recently informed the media that he's had his bones fused with the alloy known as adamantium and has legally changed his name to Santa Claws. He also stated that for the first time ever he's gonna have gifts for the naughty, when reporters asked for details he just spat on the ground.

Yes he's coming, and he's pissed...

(Nice write-up NM)

Glad you like it and that's quite amusing there Outcast.

That time of the year to bump Santa back up for the merriment of everyone!

It still to early for the songs!!

ROFL!!! I LOVE THIS!!!

Hey Nightmask, next year how about bumping this write-up by adding some Santa Claus villains like Scrooge and The Grinch.\

The Grinch had various superpowers including vast strength, and Scrooge was a veritable Lex Lurthor. Truly formidable foes by any measure.

Time to bump this back up again, and anyone care to meet Outcast's request and include some anti-Halloween villains this go-around?

shouldnt Santa have the same stats as Odin?

Given he's not Odin he's got his own stats. Just because Odin's sometimes seen (and including at least one special shown playing the part) being Santa Marvel definitely has someone who is indeed Santa independent of Odin and actually embodies the character.

hmm, I dont know... has no one else noticed, that whenever Santa is around, Odin is never to be seen?

Nice! Now who will do the Villians. Did you ever notice that you never see the Punisher and Santa together?
