DFRPG / Re: Character Concepts
« on: September 21, 2010, 05:58:03 PM »
I haven't even looked at the rules yet but yes I tend to run combat capable characters (though there is at least one on that list that is not) but ultimately most games will at some point most games will go into combat. And having a gimp huddling behind a wall is not really my thing, though I have on occasion done it. I'll probably be able to get a better grasp of concepts once I get my hands on a book, but that isn't happening until I have a game to play!

Okay, so now I have the list of all the cncepts I came up with:
----------
Alita – Fallen Angel, No memories except for occasional flashes of the War. Cast out because she refused to fight and healed angels on both sides. Her essence was split across multiple realms of existence and each of the fragments recall only pieces of the whole story. She currently works as a Nurse Assistant in a Church-run Hospital, this part of her is subconsciously looking for an artifact called the “Halo of the Fallen”. She made it from the feathers of her fallen brethren and presented it to the Throne before she was banished.

Ben – Albino Were-rat Sorceror/Assassin. Born into a community of were-rats, he is one of the very few who could use sorcery.

Mitchell “Beeker” Beakley – The Steampunk/Junkyard Sorcerer/Paladin; he channels his magic through an assortment of gadgets he makes form Junkyard parts.

Ahmet Lanier – Turkish/French Vampire (no Court?)/ Sorceror? Descended form Old Blood. Prefers to spend his time uncovering old artifacts and hiding them away form those who would misuse them.

Ramon Javier Soldano – Old Blood Spanish Swordsman, ladies man, charmer, low-level magician.

Adrian Koch – Old Blood and very wealthy German Nobility, very fashion-conscious and always on the cutting edge of fashion, uses a very zweihander when angered, but no one know where he hides it. Wields it with surprising dexterity for its size; possibly an artifact?

Ehlehna Shaessair-Hawkesbridge – Quasi-exiled Summer Court Fae Warrior, sent out to develop some self-control and some useful contacts.

Jak Tugfish – Crusty southern swamprat and some form of Undead (intelligent zombie perhaps?). Refuses to recognize he is anything other than human though he will acknowledge the existence of the supernatural. Possibly some kind of magic sink or null?

Jurgen Halifax – Church Inquisitor, Priest. He is a man of deep faith and the implacable belief that he knows and carries out the Will of God.

Enoch Krell – Librarian, scholar, sage, knower of many things.

Ariel Orleana – Assassin/Personal Bodyguard. 

Zaddion Wolfe – Mercenary, Thug, Lecher, Experienced Warrior.

Rutger “Nameless” Braun – Assassin.
 
Joss Gennede – Incredibly skilled Driver/Pilot

Verbal Khaine – Mercenary, escapee from a super-soldier program; rebuilt using magic

Saerolan – Exiled Demon

Natasha – White Court Vampire, owns a Nightclub called “Dantes”

Elias O’Bannon – Musician, Fixer; lots of contacts, police record

Tsumiko – Japanese Shugenja/Swordswoman; no memory; Possibly a Kitsune?

Arthur Solomon Marshall – AKA: “Arsenal” He is an Operative for a 3-Letter Agency. He comes from an old money family whom he hates. His fiancée was killed when a  group of zombies/terrorists and their master assaulted a resort they were staying at. He has been hunting for the Master since, at least when he’s not curled up in a bottle. No magic ability, just very skilled. 
---------
Verbal Khaine (Cain) - The Escaped Magically-enhanced Suepr Soldier is starting to look like a front-runner though there are several; others I like that I never got to play; Alita (Yes cheesy I know, but I may change the name later), Beeker (Concept I got form Fallout actually). Ahmet Lanier (Turkish Vampire sound slike a cool idea to me) and Adrian Koch (For humor value alone; the concept originated from a 7th Sea game I never got to run) all have their own appeal.

I'm not actually a fan of halo so thats not happening. I don't in fact play a lot of console games, mostly just PC games.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Witcher but I'd never looked into it until today. Though it dies look pretty cool, I may have to pick it up.

Hrm I like the idea of a Supernatural Foreign legion...wonder if there's room for an escapee from a Super-Soldier project? Maybe one that uses supernatural enhancement instead of scientific, or in addition? Has possibilities!

DFRPG / Character Concepts
« on: September 20, 2010, 05:26:02 PM »
Strange, when I first heard the DFRPG was being made I was excited...then I realized I had NO concepts to play...none whatsover. I've been gamign sicne I was 11 (now 39) and I've invented 100's of characters. And I couldn't think of a single character concept I wanted to play. So yesterday I sat down and brainstormed...still nothign. So I went back through all of the campaigns I've ever ran (or that I at least have concepts for) and dug up a list of names and concepts that mgiht work, but many were characters I'd played before and I hate repeating concepts so I'm still tryign to come up with a concept that I would have fun with.
Sadly I forgot to copy that list onto my USB key to rbing to work as well as forgetting the key anyway...8P so I'll have to post my list later, but I do remember one name that I LOVE and want to use, but I have to work up the concept around the Name; "Verbal Cain" The name actually originated from a Warhammer 40K campaign I ran last year where Verbal was an Eversor Assasin (nick-named the "Red Skull") leading of a Renegade Space Marine Chapter (Not Servants of Chaos) who was leading his troops in following a vision. I'm not sure yet how that concept will fit into the world of the Dresden Files, but I'll find a fit; it really is an awesome name.

Hrm. I may have to give this a try. Usually I come up with a metric truck-load of characters becasue they are,for me anyway, the easiest part to right. Then I just start writing the opening and develop the characters and plot as I go along. This is the same method I use for writing adventures and campaigns for the many role-playing games I've run over the years, unfortunatley it's not a great method for a book as I keep addign in new ideas, places, plots and characters and have to frequently go back and make changes...8P

That is true...hrmmm wonder about a world where Hogwart's and other Schools exist in the same realm as Dresden Files...it's super-dorky but it could totally work. Also fits in another story idea I've been working on off and on.

Awesome! I'm actually right nearby, just south of Anderson Mill off of 183.
The trick will be when to play. I currently run a Rifts campaign Friday Nights and play ina  D& 3.5 game Saturday Afternoon into evenings (but I can always elave early if needed). But I do have all sunday free and pretty much all weeknights.

My story had a scene where a zombie in a storm-trooper outfit is trying to gnaw on the brain of a drunken con-girl (dressed a sslave leia?) but is too stupid to know to take off the helmet and she's too drunk to realize he isn't trying to give her a hickey...8)

I are annoyed...I just discovered someone has published a book shockingly clsoe in concept to a movie idea I had awhile back; what happens when a buncj of sci-fi/fantasy convention-goers are trapped in the middle of a convention and the center of a Zombie outbreak. That was my concept anyway but this book is more limited to a trekkie-con where mine involved a broader spectrum. Mine was actually intended to be more serious, but with its share of funny moments. At least my concept had a cooler name..."The Apocalypse Convention"
...sigh, this is what I get for sitting on ideas...8P

I am so glad I am not alone in this complaint...I have a T-shirt that reads; "English doesn't so much borrow from languages as it follows them down an alley, knocks them down and goes through their pockets for loose grammar"

I am so sick of seeing "waiting with BAITed breath". What, are you putting worms in your mouth and waiting for fish?
NO! It's "waiting with BATED breath" as in "Abated" or to Hold a Breath...
...sigh...sad how much the english language has declined...8P
</rant>

Apologies to anyone whose been getting it wrong all along, but now you can get it right!
