Title: Weird Character Combinations
Post by: Rel Fexive on October 05, 2010, 07:17:21 PM
What's the oddest group of characters you've ever seen in a DF game?

In the game I'm in, we have a con-man/gambler who has learnt thaumaturgy; a fake psychic whose "pretend powers" actually do exist; a dodgy dealer of a male sylph changeling from Morocco or Tunisia (who is confused because every other sylph seems to be female); and...   a Second World War naval captain who was lost in battle in the middle of the war and found himself on a beach in the 21st century, who has no powers but may be haunted by his crew.

Got anything weirder?

Well, the Dragon and Golem dropped out, and the Illusionist is a thief, but yeah. I'm the Witcher!

A bartender/bar owner who 'inherited' a bar which is Accorded Neutral Grounds and has a Genus Loci; a were-jaguar who's the failed Emissary of Tezcatlipoc (and attacks Red Court vampires and servants on sight/smell); a street performer with a magic guitar; and the best cat burglar in the city.

A hacker for the Supernatural community and tech support for things that dont do well around modern tech.
The sentient clockwork creation of a mad sorcerer (named Geppetto) that is a Accords negotiator.
White Court Vampire outcast and enemy of most of her family that runs bar/night club.
Monster hunter of the church, with all inhuman powers through items and bad ass magic sword, but has a soft spot for "monster willing to change and be good".
And my character, a private investigator half vampire...serious nazi's during ww2 turned him into a half black court vamp that only has supernatural powers during the night

our current line up consist of a crossroads demon, a shamanic pixie scout, and a goldsmith wizard (a crafter). we also had a witcher style character, but that player has not much time at the moment, and the player of the goldsmith tried out a few other character ideas: an einherjer monoc security specialist (with gauntlets of strength) and a shapeshifting schizophrenic detective.

one player is still missing (she's studying out of country at the moment), so i have no idea, what she will play.

We started with a smaller scale group but what we have is the following.

Practitioner /fledgling warden however his teacher is missing
Were -wolverine
Emissary of Power that is over 70 years old but looks like he is 30.  He is also a kleptomaniac.
Modern day Robin Hood that lives in the Hood.
Techno-sancemancer -  He talks to elemental spirits thru a dead phone.  Sorcerer
Last one doesn't have a class per say.  He is a Rohnin Gaijan that lives on the street.

The novels are actually very good, and the game keeps true to them. Only problem is that only 2 are translated so far.

Weird Character Combinations:

1) Emissary of a Dragon - Problem solver for the big "boss".  A mainly social character who can get physical via powers.  Doesn't like to start drama, but will settle things if provoked.  Travels the world doing jobs for the "boss".
2) Focused Practitioner - A wizard want-to-be on the run from White Court, Red Court, and Black Court. Always moving as to never put down roots, and stay on the run. Distrusts everyone.
3) Wolf-were - A wolf who learned to shape shift human. Doesn't understand human culture. Distrusts everyone. Roams like a gypsy.
4) White Court Virgin - Hidden by her mother as to not grow up "In house", she learned to feed off Adrenaline and travels with a carnival.  Thus never staying in one city long.  Distrusts everyone.

As GM I find this a Weird group, because they are all women. (I'm a guy).  They all wander, so no one city will work to contain them, and they distrust each other and rather split up and do things solo.   Its always difficult running 4 adventures around the table at the same time, and trying to cross them over so the characters can interact.  Hopefully after the latest cross over I have planned they will TRUST each other with their lives.
