Lt. John Rico (Starship Troopers, 1997)
“This is for you new people…I have only one rule; everyone fights, no one quits. You don’t do your job, I’ll kill you myself .Do you get me?”
Once upon a time, Rico just wanted to be a civilian. That all changed when he joined the Mobile Infantry. Originally it was to impress a girl, but a series of mishaps forged him into the tough as nails leader he is today.

True20 Adventure RoleplayingTrue fun, true excitement, true adventure: True20! True20 goes to the movies!Moderator: The Mod Squad Rico
I figure that this is the Rambo from first blood...I don't see how he would learn to pilot a helicopter between episodes (it has been a long time since I had seen the movies however).
Having said that I guess Rambo does need the weapons training feat to gain skill with the bow. Have edited Rambo to reflect excellent suggestions.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter (circa Goblet of Fire, 2006)
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good” This is Harry near the end of The Goblet of Fire. He has just witnessed Cedric Diggory’s death at the hands of Wormtail and the resurrection of Lord Voldemort. Role: Human Adept 4 Speed: 30 ft.

I was wondering if someone was going to venture into the "Potterverse!"
Carl Kolchak (The Night Stalker, 1974)
“Son, I've seen more dead bodies than you've had TV dinners.” Carl Kolchak is a fast-talking street reporter for INS (Independent News Service) in Chicago. He has a reputation among local law enforcement as an annoying has-been who latches onto obscure clues and fabricates fanciful stories involving the supernatural. More often than not, his hunches prove to be correct. Like the prophetess Cassandra, however, he is never believed and his bizarre tales are pushed to the back page to be ignored… when they are even published at all. Role: Human Exp4 Speed: 30 ft. Abilities: Str +0, Dex +1, Con +1, Int +2, Wis +1, Cha +1 Skills: Bluff 7 (+8 ), Diplomacy 4 (+5), Disable Device 4 (+6), Escape Artist 4 (+5), Gather Information 7 (+8 ), Knowledge (civics, current events, popular culture, streetwise) 5 (+7), Notice 7 (+8 ), Search 7 (+9), Sleight of Hand 7 (+8 ), Stealth 7 (+8 ) Bonus Feats: Benefit (Press Pass) Favored Feats: Diehard, Seize Initiative Feats: Canny Dodge (Intelligence), Connections, Contacts, Run, Seize Initiative, Weapon Training, Well-Informed Combat: Attack +4 (+3 base, +1 Dex), Defense Dodge/Parry +6/+3(+3 base, +1 Dex, +2 Int/+0 Str), Initiative +1 Saving Throws: Toughness +1 (+1 Con), Fortitude +2 (+1 base, +1 Con), Reflex +2 (+1 base, +1 Dex), Will +4 (+4 base, +1 Wis) Virtue: Persistent; Vice: Terrible photographer Creation Notes  Another 6-point character, by the rules.
This is intended to be the original Kolchak as played by Darren McGavin. No offense to Stuart Townsend, but to me, that’s the only Kolchak.
Imagine how many Conviction points this player got back by giving in to Kolchak’s vice!
Note that he has only taken one of his Favored Feats thus far.
I know it may seem odd to give Kolchak Weapon Training, but I figure that he learned something after stabbing Pere-Mal-Fait with a twig of bayou gum, shooting a rakshasa with a crossbow, and striking a black knight with a battle axe.
Dean and Sam Winchester (Supernatural, 2005)
“I think he wants us to pick up where he left off, you know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.” The Winchester brothers are the sons of John Winchester. They are hunters, traveling the countryside in Dean’s black Chevy Impala tracking down ghosts, monsters, and other creatures of nightmare. Sam is the more intellectual one, having left college early to pursue “the family business” at his brother’s urging. Dean is headstrong, determined, and certainly the most eager of the two brothers.

I figured if I was going to make up one brother, I may as well make up both.
More 6-pointers. A warrior and an adept/expert, both by the RAW.
John Winchester’s Journal Every good hunter keeps a journal for research. John Winchester’s journal is a poorly organized jumble of newspaper clippings, pages torn out of books and magazines, Internet print-outs, and hand-written notes. Anyone using the journal receives a +2 bonus on Knowledge (supernatural) checks after 10 minutes of study. The bonus is +4 for the Winchester brothers since they know their father’s lackluster organizational style.
Cool, the Winchester brothers
Nice builds. Dean's Connected is to reflect him in the second season, or because he knew his dad's friends? Does Sam regain conviction every time he could save himself by using his Move object ability and fails because of self doubt? 
Love the Journal by the way. I'm a big fan of the show, but I'm only up to the 4th episoe of the 2nd season (damn episode lag here in Chile  )
Yep! And I've been kicking myself that I haven't thought to do them sooner!
They both have Connected. One can assume that Dean had it first, since he had a bit more history as a hunter than Sam did at the show's start. The Connected feat is a combination of their encounters and the fact that they can count on (some of) their dad's past acquiantences.
Heehee ... maybe!
Thanks!
Uh-oh... I hope I didn't spoil anything for you!  Last edited by True20Chick on Thu Dec 14, 2006 5:56 am, edited 1 time in total.
Ben Gates
Benjamin Franklin Gates (National Treasure, 2005)
“If there is something wrong; those who have the ability to take action, have the responsibility to take action.” Benjamin Gates is a man with a mission. He desires to find the hidden treasure of the Knights Templar. His family has been trying to find it ever since his great great great grandfather, Thomas Gates was given the first piece of the puzzle in 1832. He is a bit of a disappointment to his father who believes he is wasting his life on a fool’s quest. Role: Human Expert 7 Speed: 30 ft.

If you live in the US, it comes on Thursday nights at 9pm, on the CW network. http://www.cwtv.com/shows/supernatural
Dr. Phibes? Cool movie. Very creepy and campy. If you can find it on DVD, rent it. It's good for a night's bizarre entertainment. There was also a sequel, Dr. Phibes Returns.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bGqnK0mFq4 Just like True20Chick loves to use Jack-of-all-Trades, I like to use Combat Sense, specially to reflect special training. In this case the special Gun-fu training.
A case could be made for cleric either having Night-vision or blind fight from the scene when he shoots in the dark. I'd rather say he use the gun flashes to see
His virtue probaly changes from Dedicated(Tetragrammaton) to Dedicated(Revolution). His vice shall always be Zealoous
The A-team (1983)
From Wikipedia Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team. Col. John "Hannibal" Smith From Wikipedia "Hannibal", naming himself after the famous military commander and strategist, is the leader of the A-Team. He is distinguished by his constant cigar-smoking, his black leather gloves, and his many comic disguises. He is a master tactician (although his plans rarely turn out as they are supposed to) and seems to have a plan for getting the team out of any situation they get into. He is probably best known for his catch phrase, "I love it when a plan comes together". He fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (although, he is most often referred to simply as "Colonel"). Thriving on adventure and the adrenaline rush of life-threatening situations (or being "on the jazz", as B.A. called it), he seems to genuinely enjoy every challenge they encounter. He is renowned by both allies and enemies for being cool-headed and extremely clever. There is rarely a situation where he is not able to smile in the face of adversity.

Templeton "Faceman" Peck From Wikipedia Suave, smooth-talking, and hugely successful with women, "Face" (so called for his clean-cut good looks) serves as the team's con man and scrounger. He seems to be able to get his hands on just about anything they needed. Effectively second in command behind Hannibal (although technically Murdock has a higher rank), he is the one who arranges for supplies, equipment, and sensitive information using numerous scams and hustles. He has an uncanny ability to talk anybody (especially women) out of just about anything. He regularly appropriates explosives, tools, automobiles, and even airplanes for the team's various missions. Because of his talent as a con artist, Face generally lives the high life, staying in ritzy apartments and wearing expensive suits.. He is also an expert at picking locks. B.A. once said that if Hannibal hadn't put Face on the team, he would probably be in jail. Not much for hand-to-hand combat, Face is forever complaining about the inevitable fighting that ensues. Face also handles the team's money.

Possessions: custom white Corvette sports car with a red stripe (to match B.A.'s van) equipped with a CB radio and a mobile phone, expensive suit Sgt. Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus From Wikipedia He is a highly-skilled mechanic and has an amazing talent for making impressive machinery out of just about any ordinary parts that they have available to them. Hannibal once said to B.A., "With a pair of pliers and a little time, you could fix anything but dinner." He is also an excellent fighter and is invaluable in hand-to-hand combat. Because of his massive size and strength, he has a unique fighting tactic, which involves grabbing his opponents, lifting them over his head, and hurling them in the air. He is easily angered to the point of rage, and often greets people with a growl or a snarl. He is most often upset by Murdock and frequently addresses him with the phrase "You crazy fool!" Despite his reputed attitude, he is a nice guy at heart. He has a special fondness for children, occasionally working at a day care center teaching sports to the kids. A teetotaler, B.A. never touches alcohol, preferring milk instead. He suffers an intense fear of flying, especially when the plane in question is flown by Murdock. This difficulty is often overcome by other members of the team drugging him or knocking him unconscious so he could be transported without objection.

H.M. “Howling mad” Murdock From Wikipedia Considered the best chopper pilot of the Vietnam War, Murdock is either mentally unstable or exceptionally good at pretending to be. He is stated as having paranoid delusions and intermittent memory loss. Although he was their pilot on the mission to rob the Hanoi bank (the crime for which they were convicted), he was never tried by the military. He is interned at a psychiatric hospital, although he routinely escapes (generally with the help of Face) to accompany the A-Team on their missions. The symptoms of his "insanity" vary from episode to episode, but include self-identification with fictional characters, hallucinations, belief in the "intelligence" of inanimate objects, among others. He often "channels" a certain character for the duration of a mission (much to the chagrin of B.A.) or becomes fixated on a particular subject to the point of obsession. He also frequently refers to his invisible dog, "Billy". B.A., uneasy with Murdock's unusual behavior, is easily angered by Murdock and regularly refers to him as a "crazy fool".
