Pure Mortals

<< < (2/3) > >>

Cripple X:
To me, the pure mortal characters are the coolest.  If I was a player I'd be vanilla mortal all the way.  All the players that I've got in my play-by-post game that's starting up seem to be drawn to characters with more super natural oomph.

vonpenguin:
I'm not playing one in the game I'm in but I do agree that they're pretty interesting. My main problem is having them keep up with supernatural heavy hitters might be tough. Not everyone is a Murphy or a Macrone after all.

The Codex:
It has to be said if I am going to play a pure mortal, I really really want to play a character not dissimilar to Jack Burton from a certain film,

High Aspect: Everyman Hero
Trouble: Not sure yet but, "Enemies in High Places", seems themically right....

SOme where in there needs to have something similar to

"Epic Wiseass"

"It's all in the Reflexes"

"ou know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?"

"Everybody relax, I'm here"

"Son of a bitch must pay!"

"Are you crazy... Is that your problem?"


THere all quotes an make such awesome Aspects

ohhh and of course first novel, Big Trouble in Little Chine

This last one may be a little long for an aspect!!!!

Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

--- Quote from: Mal_Luck on April 11, 2010, 08:20:27 PM ---It's been commented that he's a bit stunt heavy (Too Fast To Hit, My Car-Fu is Stronger than Yours, and Counterattack could probably sit on a shelf until I earn some minor upgrades).

--- End quote ---

I disagree. It just means that his awesome is more preconfigured than situational, which is basically the tradeoff vs. refresh and stunts.

Looks good.

Lanodantheon:
We had not one but 2 Pure Mortals in our first game of FATE and DFRPG yesterday.

The first was Edgar Poe, a Detective on the Spokane Gang Unit. He illustrated what happens when people have more FATE points than they can spend.

High Concept: Joe Detective
Trouble: Chain of Command(He is hated from above and below)

Other Apsects: Trial By Fire, Media Spotlight, Contact: Wulf/Shaggy(Resident Wolfwere), Unbeliever(That got compelled ALOT. Especially when they went through the nevernever and met the last survivor of the 500lb. Three Little Pigs) and Right Place, Right Time.


The Other was simply known as The Negotiator (Many jokes ensued), who ended up becoming a vital part of the city even if his player changes characters. He is a Negotiator for the supernatural.

High Concept: The Negotiatior
Trouble: I never leave a job unfinished
Other Aspects: Small-Time Lawyer, Bargaining is a Science, Free-Holding Lord, Blue Moon Tavern, Sometimes Negotiations get Aggressive.
