Request A Character

<< < (2/103) > >>

ways and means:
I am kind of enjoying the parasyte anime so I suppose it would be cool to stat migi and shinshi basically Shinshi is a normal high school and Migi is his a shape shifting sentient parasite arm ( basically an intelligent natural weapon).

Starting with the old Blackstaff. Far as I know the story never said anything about them, so I made a character up.

Not sure exactly what the staff should do, but I figure 3 Refresh is probably a good cost for it.

Sonia Di Caprio (Deep One)

Sonia was fascinated by chronomancy since the day she discovered it. She studied it her whole life, delving ever deeper into its mysteries. And naturally, she found the Laws of magic really amazingly inconvenient. She was always more of a theorist than anything else, but even so she frequently found the Sixth Law tying her hands.

So when Sonia was old and powerful, and the Council needed a new Blackstaff, it seemed natural to give her the job. Few wizards actually like the idea of being Blackstaff, so finding someone both qualified and enthusiastic was rather fortunate.

As her term as Blackstaff showed, there are some downsides to enthusiasm. Frankly, she was a bit scary. The Council was considering replacing her when she died of old age. Or of "old age". There might have been some funny business there.

Sophia's speciality within chronomancy was speeding up her personal passage through time, letting her move ridiculously quickly.

Here's the Hawaiian wizard:

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.

Now for the trope-bag.

John Jameson (Feet In The Water)

John Jameson died last year. He just vanished while out sailing, never to be seen again.

This posed a problem for his teenage daughter Susan, a minor talent specialized in the construction of golems. John's will names his brother Reggie as executor, giving him authority over his estate. Reggie is not a nice man. She refuses, absolutely refuses, to be put at his mercy.

So she hatched a scheme. Since she was young, grieving, and prone to zany schemes even at the best of times, her plan was a bit crazy. She would produce a cloth golem that would impersonate her father, preventing anyone from noticing his death.

Surprisingly, this actually worked. Mostly because her father's ghost showed up to pilot the golem. The golem has to dress like a Ringwraith to avoid being found out, but so far nobody has made the leap from "truly bizarre fashion choice" to "actually a ghost controlling a magical man made out of cloth". It helps that he's not married and works from home as a poet.

High Concept: Ghost-Possessed Cloth Golem
Trouble Aspect: Impersonating Himself
Other Aspects: Not The Zippers!, I Love My Daughter/Creator, Poet

Great: Performance, Might
Good: Endurance, Deceit
Fair: Fists, Driving

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?

Batman (Submerged)

I had a lot of trouble picking an apex skill. Fists, Resources, and Investigation all seemed appropriate. Honestly, I picked Fists arbitrarily.

Beat It Out Of Them (Fists): Use Fists to interrogate people.
Like A Ninja (Athletics): Use Athletics instead of Stealth as long as it's dark and there's stuff to jump over.
Bruce Wayne (Resources): Use Resources instead of Deceit to maintain secret identity.
Lush Lifestyle (Resources): May be assumed to own things with value up to Resources.
Windfall (Resources): Spend a Fate Point for +4 to a Resources roll.
Where Does He Get All These Wonderful Toys (Resources): Use Resources + 1 to Declare the existence of a convenient bat-gadget.
Crazy Prepared (Investigation): Use Investigation for knowledge of heroes and villains, and to Declare preparations against them.
