Akamai Mahelona (Submerged)

Akamai doesn't want trouble. He's totally unambitious, perfectly satisfied to do nothing all day. Unfortunately, life doesn't let him sit idle. He's the kind of guy who takes it personally when he sees a friend in trouble. And he has a lot of friends.

So he's gotten trouble. He got out of it by trading favours to faeries when things got really bad. But he's done with that! He paid his debt to Summer by building a new volcano for them, and now he's moving to the mainland in search of a more peaceful life. He probably won't find it, though, unless he learns how to ignore people in trouble.

This is almost spot-on to what I had in mind.  With only rather minor tweaks, this character will fit seamlessly into the group.  My compliments.

--- Quote from: Sanctaphrax on November 02, 2014, 06:12:24 AM ---I would like to do Indiana Jones and the protagonist of Parasyte, but the truth is I don't know much about either. I have a passing familiarity with each character, but neither is clear in my mind.

Could someone help?

Quick disclaimer, this summery is based off of the first three movies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade) and from memory.

Indiana Jones (Henry Jones Jr.) is a vigilante archeologist. He locates rare and valuable archeological artifacts and retrieves them so they may be placed and preserved in a museum. He travels the entire world in search for these artifacts and is no stranger to risking his life to ensure their safety. When he isn't searching the world for rare artifacts, Indiana Jones teaches archeology at the local university. On several occasions, Indiana Jones has had to confront Nazi's, racing them to secure important religious artifacts.

Due to both his natural intelligence and his extensive knowledge of ancient artifacts, occult societies and the field of archeology in general, Indiana Jones is quite adept at avoiding the ancient booby traps that guard the artifacts he seeks. He is also extremely proficient at using a whip. He uses it to trip up enemies, disarm them, and to cross otherwise impossible distances. He also carries his trademark hat and a standard revolver to use in life threatening circumstances.

Indiana Jones thinks fast and frequently improvises. He is not easily intimidated and does not hesitate to throw a punch when he deems it necessary. He also frequently gets into trouble where women are involved. Unlike his father, Indiana Jones is not a religious man, despite coming into contact with multiple religious artifacts and witnessing their powers. Indiana Jones has faced many near death experiences over the years, and luckily his knack for getting out of trouble just exceeds his knack for getting into it.

His mannerisms are actually fairly similar to Han Solo from Empire and Jedi (they are played by the same actor, so I guess this isn't too surprising), so you can use that as a baseline.

Some quotes from the movies that I really like (some from memory, some from IMDB):
"It belongs in a museum!" | "Nazis. I hate these guys." | "X never, ever, marks the spot." | "I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up." | "I hate snakes Jock, I hate 'em!"

Hopefully this gives you a good enough idea of the character to get going. I would highly recommend watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade if you get the chance.The first and third are the best, but all three are very fun movies.

Mr. Death:
A White Council wizard in good standing, who is currently employed by a mob boss. He's a strict adherent to the Laws of Magic, if not exactly in the laws of the United States.

Sanctaphrax:
I actually have seen the movies, just not recently. And I don't have a good memory for film.

Anyway, I'll get those two done sometime tomorrow.

jackbythesea:
A terramancer, aquamancer and pyromancer at Submerged level with Channelling and Ritual of their respective elements but the remaining -5 refresh taking other powers to represent the expression of their magical abilities. I worked out an aeromancer like:

[-2] Channelling: Air
[-2] Ritual: Aeromancy
[-2] Inhuman Speed
[-1] Fleet of Foot
[+1] Human Form:
[-3] Gaseous Form

If three are too much just pick one.
