Ed's Notes: Considering how often she is depicted with a Sword, and almost as often a shield, it's kind of goofy that no sources stat them out. Somehow... Sword [Body 6: EV: 4] and Shield [Body: 14] don't seem adequate. But there you go.

2nd edition source vary in several different ways, depending on the source...

2nd Edition Background/Roster Book omits Truesight and Self Link (Spirit Travel) Powers, and her Necklace.

Atlas of the DC Universe omits Truesight and Self Link (Spirit Travel) Powers, *Mystic Links her Flight and omits her Necklace.

The Magic Sourcebook is basically identical to this entry, but includes the Limitation: Dimension Travel only allows travel between Earth and Gemworld on her Necklace and omits the note that her Self Link (Spirit Travel) only applies in the 30th Century.

Just as with Adam Strange is kind of the prototypical Spaceman Spiff character for boys, I am struck by how well Amethyst might fight the typical "magical adventure princess" archetype for young girls. That's not to say she wouldn't be popular with other crowds, I can just imagine (growing up) that of any superhero, THIS would be the one my kid sister would be most interested in.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)
