You won't like this character when he's angry.
svb1972:
Scion of a Rage Spirit/Demon sounds really cool.
Think of all the conflicting feelings. Someone with a good heart, and good intentions. But with a murderous temper and abilities to match.
arentol:
There should be two +1 catches from among these three, or maybe all three should combine into a total catch of +2, depending on player and GM decision...
The fact that he has to be very angry to enter rage form and he can't force that anger on himself, someone else has to do it.
The fact that he has only limited control in rage form and will attack anyone and anything that threatens or annoys him, including friends if he fails a conviction? roll. (Note that he will not KILL under normal circumstances when in rage form, but if his anger level is truly ridiculously high, and the enemy is still goading him, he might have to make a conviction check to avoid killing.)
The fact that he can't leave rage form until he is able to find peace, and associated with this the fact that he will sometimes run away from a fight to try and find peace if he has nothing invested in the fight... So if he is with his girlfriend and gets attacked he will fight to make her safe, then run away and find peace. If he is alone and has no idea why he is being attacked he might fight back, or he might just run away, or he might take one swing then run away (though if the enemy chases him he will try and fight back or slow them down still most likely).
Also his trouble is not Short Fuse. Banner worked hard at not getting angry and actually had a longer fuse than normal. Sadly though I am having trouble thinking up a replacement trouble, but I am sure there is something better.

Just thought I'd throw in the write up of the original Hulk that I posted last week. hope it provides an idea or two for the Scion of Banner.

Sorry, but this is wrong. Bruce can make himself angry, *many* examples from TV and comics, and the Hulk can keep himself angry, see Planet Hulk and World War Hulk story lines.
/Removes Cap of Comic Geekness
I agree with removing the Speed and up the Strength as suggested by others.

I can totally picture a Hulk inspired character with a Pixie side-kick.
Banner, "Please, don't make me angry. You would..."
Pixie, enthusiastically interrupting, "Ooh, ooh, ooh! No, go ahead, make him angry! It's awesome when he gets angry."
