Request a Character...
« on: May 10, 2011, 02:54:35 PM »
Any character you need we can create it here. With the help of many wise people who have created many of characters, we can have your character to you within a week if possible.


Need a city created? We can do this too plus populate it, anything you need related to DFRPG you can find it here.

I need 8 characters,  at "Up to your waist" level for a convention at the end of the month...
they should be Minor talents, may be focused practitioner, very low level emissary of powers  or true believer types.  Because the game is set in Hangover city and they are all members of Rare Breed.

The good news is they only need to be up to their 1st story - as I'll do the guest staring stage like I did at Con-Quest

Alas, I will be at another convention in the US that weekend. When I read "Con-Quest," I took it to mean a convention we have here in California later in the year.

Ah no The Con-quest I meant was in Derby, UK.

Anyway, back to the point,

Rare Breed all consider themselves to be "mortal"- which they are not really, but they are 'less' non-mortal than the werewolves, Vampire, Wizards and Changelings around them.
They are all brought up to be part of the 'supernatural emergency service' run by Ream- a mysterious immortal with the brief of keeping the lid on the boiling pot of supernatural Liverpool. Most of them are trained to be effective against one particular 'supernatural threat' and have been mentored by an uncle or other close older relative.

Given that the players are at a Con game and so wont be able to generate their own characters, it woudl be helpful to have the input of others, so;

If you were going to play in that game, what sort of character would you want to play...

I am all over this. As you may have noticed, I like making characters.

I'll take a shot at the Rare Breed guys some time over the next day or two.

Mum,
First off I thought you were going to help me create the characters

Second, I think I can get about 8 characters by the end of the month if I work hard enough on them. Then again the end of the month is only 21 days away so I should have enough time on my hands.

Third, I would like your input on if the characters I create are up to your standards. I will only set them up with High Concepts, Trouble, Aspects, Skills and Stunts. It will be up to you to create their own personal back story.

I think we can split them up if you like...you take 4 and I'll take 4.

Sound like a plan?

I am I'm just hoping for some inspiring third party input :)

Actually I was thinking if a couple of people could do one or 2 each it would reduce my work load (especially as at the moment the closest thing I have to a adventure plot line is the lyrics from "Watching the wildlife" by frankie goes to holliwood.
Mind you I've run on LESS

Father Rocko Godfellow
Template: True Believer
High Concept: Man of God Trouble: Struggles with Daily Sin
Attributes: Faith Rooted In A Higher Power; My Faith Is My Shield; Who Needs A Sword When You Have A Crucifix; Blessed By Baptismal Waters; Anyone Call For A Priest
I like the "Struggles with Daily Sin" especially surrounded by the temptations of "Clubland". I guess this guy does a lot of out reach work.
'Faith rooted In a higher power' and 'my faith is my shield' feel like the same thing. Plus I need a rare breed link in for the back ground. Can we combine these to make space for a "Bred for the job but called by the church." to show the potential for conflict between his 'family' and the 'priesthood'
And let's make it "Who Needs A gun When You Have A Crucifix."
Quote
Skills:
Great (+4) Conviction, Rapport
Good (+3) Endurance, Athletics
Fair (+2) Presence, Guns, Empathy
Let's make that guns a fist or weapons thing. Firearms are illegal in the uk. Thought more common in Liverpool than they should be.

Father Rocko Godfellow
Template: True Believer
High Concept: Man of God Trouble: Struggles with Daily Sin

Background
Rocko (as he is affectionately called by the breed) is the product of one of Reams 'Outbreeding' exercises. His mother, Carla, is a Spanish Catholic who arrived in Liverpool fleeing an abusive partner. Tommy Godfellow, took her under his wing and helped her hide with the River witches. They grew close and eventually Ream gave permission for the marriage. As a devote Catholics, Carla insisted on Rocko' baptism. Father MacKenzie carried out the service and was reported as saying 'something moved' as the water in the font was poured over the child's head. But no one was ever able to get him to be more specific.
Aspect:Blessed By Baptismal Waters

rising conflict
AS Rocko grew whilst, the rest of his peers were kicking around foot balls, he spent more and more time at the Cathedral. This caused a lot of friction at home as his father wanted him to be 'normal' but his mother saw no harm in Rokos obsessions. Eventually Tommy banded him from attending sunday school to take him to the school boy foot ball matches. Rocko responded by running away. Father MacKenzie eventually found the young lad and told him had to go home and respect his fathers wishes. (Quoting relevant scriptures to drive it home.) Rocko obeyed and his father realised that the cause was lost. He was never going to have the son he had hoped for. He relented and Rocko returned to the church services.
Aspect: faith based - I got "The faith is strong in the one." but that might be too corny!

First story
Although Tommy had given up on Rocko being a 'normal' kid he was determined that his son still enter the Breed; after all that was the whole reason for his existence. He dragged the reluctant young man to meet Ream, confident that the Sheriff could 'talk sense into the lad. Ream explained what was expected of Rocko and the role waiting for him. Although Rocko could see some benefit in it, after all the church had taught him he should help his fellow man, and the creatures Ream were talking about sounded far to close to the demons Jesus drove out in the parables, but still he felt torn. Once again Father MacKenzie intervened, suggesting Rocko be allowed to go to the seminary, and return to the Breed after he had trained as a priest. Ream was not sure, all too conscious that he would loose the best years of Rockos active life to "books and arguing" instead of "out in the fight." The argument was solved when the Jake Pym commented he would not be happy to serve with some one whose heart was not in the Breed. Ream relented and Rocko left to join the priesthood.

Aspect: Bred for the job but called by the church

These would be the 2 Guest star slots. so details will have to be left until we have the other characters.
Anyone Call For A Priest
Back working with the breed may be?
Who Needs A gun When You Have A Crucifix
First time he used devote words may be?

So you don't want so many characters?

I just thought that he should have an Item of Power or something to show that he is a True Believer...feel free to change it if you like.
