Request A Character

<< < (45/103) > >>

Sanctaphrax:
Yeah, an Aspect is usually a good way to go. A stunt giving +2 stress with your weapon of choice is good too, if you ask me.

Sanctaphrax:
Bringing this back for another go. Here's the unfulfilled request list.


--- Quote from: S1C0 on June 25, 2015, 07:07:00 AM ---I have a complex Npc concept that i would love to see your take on.
The character is a genius who wages war against both crime and later "evil" monsters, not with overt force, but with strategy and cunning. some one who could possibly beat Sherlock Holmes at chess. The only power he has are purely mental he would have accelerated perception and edict memory. His religion ,as far as he is concerned, is preparedness and efficiency. He would give Batman a run for his money when it comes to weapons, armor and gadgets.His mental prowess makes him a master of manipulation, he rarely looses debates and has accumulated the wealth required to even economically attack entire factions.Think batman and Sun Tzu with just a hint of Ironman. As such it would be a lovely chance to illustrate your optimization formula, Varying power levels would be most helpful.

Most of these I can do. But I know nothing about Booker DeWitt and Joshua Graham. Can someone fill me in?

New requests are also welcome, though I can't promise I'll accept them.

Sanctaphrax:
Fake angel, Dr. Manhattan, and Ozymandias here.

(click to show/hide)Keter-Angel (Hydrophobe)

I don't know much theology, but the idea of loading infants up with the Sephirot to create artificial angels seems incredibly blasphemous to me. So I decided to make this thing a wretched monster, dangerous to everything around it and wanting death as much as it's capable of wanting anything.

The babies overloaded with other Sephirot might not be quite this badly off. But Keter is supposed to be formless, empty, and above consciousness. So I don't think you could retain any kind of mind after being filled with it.

The defense stunt might be overpowered if not for the fact that the counter-measure is obvious. Monster too bright to look at? Buy sunglasses.

(click to show/hide)Dr. Manhattan (Scuba Diving)

Watchmen never really puts any solid limits on what Dr. Manhattan can do. So this is pretty speculative.

I think this is the second-highest-Refresh character I've written.

Athletics, here, represents mobility and defense more than traditional athletic ability. I can't remember any scene where he does anything more traditionally athletic than walking. But you're gonna have a hard time hitting or outrunning the guy unless he lets you.

(click to show/hide)Ozymandias (In A Submarine)

The tricky thing about Ozymandias is that he's got a whole bunch of really notable skills. His Fists, Athletics, Scholarship, Presence, Contacts, and Resources should all be sky-high.

Stunts are good for faking that sort of thing, fortunately.

Not sure if I'd let a PC take Physical Supremacy. If I could think of an elegant way to break it into two stunts, I'd do that.

Lot of Scholarship and Athletics in this post for some reason.

As always, feedback is more than welcome.

Sanctaphrax:
Wow, forum's gotten quiet. Last time I brought this thread back, there were requests all over the place.

Anyway, here's the anti-crime genius.

That's all I can do, unless I get more requests or some backstory on the remaining requests.
