Derek Zoolander (Zoolander, 2001)
”If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it’s that a male model’s life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn’t mean that we too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.”

Derek Zoolander is a world-famous male model. All beauty and zero brains, Zoolander gets by on his charm and face alone. When so moved, he can strike a pose so amazing that all who see him are stunned into silence.

His knowledge of the modeling industry and stray bits of information he may have picked up in his world travels. I figured that would be better than actually giving him ranks in any Knowledge skills.

Edit: Eh, I've thought about it and you're right. I doubt Zoolander is "well informed" about anything. :lol: I've swapped it for another instance of Renown. Now he's *really* famous!

Awesome.... It's been a while since I saw the movies, but why Stealth? Shouldn't it be Disguise... remember what he could do with just some makeup

They got a mention in the True20 Companion, so to help celebrate the release of that book... the Ghostbusters (Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, Egon Spangler, and Winston Zeddemore) are in the wings and soon to make their debut. I might even get freaky and stat out Slimer. Watch this spot! :D

I've never seen the show, to be honest. My work schedule precludes me watching any TV show that's on during the first half of the week. :?

Is there anyone else who is a fan of the show who'd like to take up this challenge? :D

And how 'bout I make up for it by teasing you with even more names that I plan to work on soon... like Hellboy, Starbuck (from Battlestar Galactica, not Moby-Dick :lol:), and, using the rules from Razor in the Apple, Hoagie "Numbuh Two" Gilligan from The Kids Next Door. :D

John J. Sheridan(Babylon 5, Warner Bros. Syndicated/TNT 1995-1999)

"But you can't have larger ideas, if the smaller ones are sacrificed. It's like building a house without a foundation, it won't stand, we both know that, DeLenn."
—from "There All My Honor Lies"

"No more of you. No more hostages, no more Nightwatch, not on my station, not on my watch! No more!...no more."
—from "Ceremonies Of Light And Dark"

"You tell your governments the only man to survive Za'ha'dum send this message: We can end this, not just for now, not for the next thousand years, but forever!. We can fight them, and we can win, but only if we do it together!"
—from "Whatever Happened To Mister Garabaldi"

"No, no. He had his chance and he failed. We need to make them all understand, we will not be intimidated. We continue."

—from "No Compromises"

The only decorated hero of the Minbarri War, and always loyal to Earth, John Sheridan finds himself compelled to take a stand against the increasingly repressive policies of President Clarke and the Shadows who are manipulating him. As commander of Babylon 5, he is thrust into a civil war he didn't want, and an war against the forces of light and darkness he didn't ask to fight, realizing he had to fight them all the same.

Either liked or hated by those around him, Sheridan does his job admirably, saving Earth from its own insanity and the Galaxy from the machinations of the Vorlons and the Shadows, yet, at the end, he finds his job is still not done, with the thankless job of President of the new Interstellar Alliance thrust into his lap.

Mourning the loss of his second wife, Anna, on the Rim of explored space, he finds new love, and, ultimately, a new reason to live, with Minbarri Ambassador DeLenn.

"Rising Star" and "Objects At Rest," then Benefit(President Of the Interstellar Alliance).

**If set between "Points Of Departure," and "Severed Dreams," then Dedicated(Earthforce); if set between "Severed Dreams" and "Sleeping In Light, then Dedicated(Interstellar Alliance).

NOTES

A six-point character built straight by the book and hopefully according to canon.

His character level is as of the end of "Objects At Rest," from the semi-apochryphal fifth season on TNT...I would say he's about two to three levels lower during the time between "Points Of Departure" and "Rising Star."

EDIT: Adjusted his character level(from 15 to 16) and replaced Stunning Attack with Exotic Weapons Training(Pulse Cannon).
