I propose a challenge. Batman (take your pick of movies)
Corbin Dallas
Major Corbin Dallas (The Fifth Element, 1997)
Corbin has been out of the military less than six months. In that time his wife has run away with his lawyer and he is one point shy of losing his license. To say that civilian life isn’t agreeing with him is a huge understatement; though it takes a lot for him to admit it.. It is at this point that the fate of the universe literally lands in his lap. Role: Human War 5/Ordinary 1 Speed: 30 ft. Abilities: Str +2, Dex +1, Con +2, Int +0, Wis +0, Cha +1 Skills: Bluff +4, Climb +7, Computers +3, Disable Device +5, Drive +4, Intimidate +6, Jump +6, Notice +2, Pilot +4, Search +5, and Survival +5 Bonus Feats: Diehard (no pun intended) Favored Feats: Defensive Roll, Improved Evasion Core Ability: Determination Feats: Diehard, Firearms Training, Point Blank shot, Skill Training, Tough, Two Weapon Fighting, Vehicular Combat, Weapon Training Combat: Attack +6 (+5 base, +1 Dex), Damage +2 (unarmed), Defense Dodge/Parry +6/+7 (+5 base, +1 Dex/+2 Str), Initiative +1 Saving Throws: Toughness +3 (+2 Con, +1 Tough), Fortitude +7 (+5 base, +2 Con), Reflex +3 (+2 base, +1 Dex), Will +2 (+2 base, +0 Wis) Conviction: 5; Virtue: Courageous, Vice: Insensitive Reputation: +1 Possesions: Apartment, medals, trophies, photos, and cab; Wealth: +3
Great thread lol,
And a good way of sell this system to those thinking of getting True 20 Wanna see someone do justice to Solid Snake of Metal gear solid (this may help, http://www.metalgearsolid.org/mgs.php )
I have a question. Is Solid Snake the same Snake Plissken from the escape from ... movies? I seem to recall one of the games called him that, but I might be mistaken
Nah, he just used the same surname when he was pretending not to be himself. One of those little jokes that the nerds that design video games place in their games.
Solid Snake is a completely different character from Snake Plissken. True Star Wars (playable)
Monster Roles for easier Narrating. I often come across as a big jerk. This is completely unintentional.
True but it was loosely based/inspired on him, and Michael Biehn, (who had been planned to play the role of Solid Snake at one point, and would still be cool in that role today) And yeah this is already in the pipe to be shot in a year or two, (most likely without Biehn)
I propose a new challenge. HEROES.
"Heroes," an epic drama that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. The challenge comes in how to depict the Heroes. Are they all ordinaries until their abilities activate the first time? Are they still ordinaries after just will special abilities? I am working on Isaac Mendez
Isaac Mendez
Quote (TBD) Concept (Role): Artist (Ordinary 7) Abilities: Str +1, Dex +0, Con +1, Int +0, Wis +2, Cha +2, Spd 30 ft Core Ability: Combat: Attack +0 (+0 base, +0 Dex), Damage +1 (unarmed), Defense Dodge/Parry +0/+1 (+0 base, +0 Dex/+1 Str), Initiative +0 Saving Throws: Toughness +1 (+1 Con, +0 Tough), Fortitude +1 (+0 base, +1 Con), Reflex +0 (+0 base, +0 Dex), Will +2 (+0 base, +2 Wis) Conviction: +0; Virtue: Free Spirited, Vice: Heroin Addict Reputation: +, Wealth +7 Skills: Craft (painting) +10 (10 ranks, +0 Int), Diplomacy +12 (10 ranks, +2 Cha), Knowledge (art) +10 (10 ranks, +0 Int), Sense Motive +12 (10 ranks, +2 Wis) Bonus Feats: none Favored Feats: Visions (Isaac power is a natural inborn ability) Feats: Visions 10 (Power Bonus: 10, Save Difficulty 15) Powers: Visions Weapons: light pistol +0 attack (+3 damage/20) Possessions: Fully stocked artist's studio, handgun, supply of heroin, etc... Distinguishing Features/Mannerisms: Issac is about 6 ft tall with dark brown hair; often unkempt, and the beginnings of a beard. Issac recently discovered his ability to predict the future but only while he is high on heroin and only when he paints them. He has no knowledge of his visions except for the paintings he does. Background: TBD Design Notes: I know Ordinaries don't normally get feats. but in the case of the Heroes I would argue their abilties are inborn.
Aren't these guys already done over at the Atomic Thinktank?
True Star Wars (playable)

Wouldn't know. Haven't been over there in a long time and currently can't get in. My purpose though was to do them as seen through the True20 lens.
Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Yojimbo, 1961)
"You don't mind if I kill all of you?" Sanjuro Kuwabatake, the ronin who gets mixed up with yakuza, and gives as his name that of a plant he happened to spy when asked the question. He is clever as well as skilled, and succeeds as much from careful planning as he does from swordsmanship. Role: Human Warrior 6 Speed: 30 ft. Abilities: Str +1, Dex +2, Con +2, Int +2, Wis +0, Cha +0 Skills: Bluff 9, Concentration 5 (7), Diplomacy 8, Intimidate 9, Jump 5 (6), Notice 9, Search 9 (11), Stealth 5 (7), Survival 4 Bonus Feats: Attack Focus (Katana) Favored Feats: Master Plan, Feats: Weapon Training, Taunt, Quick Draw, Improved Initiative, Master Plan, Assessment, Attack Specialization (Katana), Cleave, Great Cleave Combat: Attack +8 (+6 base), Defense Dodge/Parry +8/+7 (+6 base), Initiative +6 Saving Throws: Toughness +2, Fortitude +7 (+5 base), Reflex +4 (+2 base), Will +2 (+2 base) Virtue: Brave; Vice: Scheming Creation Notes  My favorite of Toshiro Mifune's characters.
My first character contribution to the boards! Woohoo!
My favorite scene is where he's rescuing a guy, and is met by one of the Yakuza group's warriors. He says, "Hurry! The guards are all dead!" The warriors go running off, then he remembers that he hasn't killed the guards yet, so he goes in and offs them in an amazing display of the great cleave ability.
Awesome! You're my hero!
This may not be on the list, but the idea came when I was watching one of my favorite TV shows:
KWAI-CHANG CAINE "To say thank you is to cheapen the gift." A master of Shaolin Kung-Fu. 11th level human (warrior) Abilities: +1 Str, +4 dex, +2 con, +0 int, +3 wis, -1 cha Skills: Acrobatics 7 (+11), Bluff 0 (-1), Climb 1 (+2), Concentration 4 (+7), Diplomacy 6 (+5), Disguise 0 (-1), Escape Artist 3 (+7), Gather Info. 0 (-1), Handle Animal 4 (+3), Intimidate 0 (-1), Jump 0 (+1), Languages 1 (+1), Medicine 7 (+10), Notice 7 (+10), Search 0 (+0), Sense Motive 6 (+9), Stealth 4 (+8 ), Survival 2 (+5), Swim 0 (+1), Knowledge (Religion) 8 (+8 ) Feats: Accurate Attack, Assessment, Dedicated, Improved Strike, Lightning Reflexes, Endurance, Deflect Arrows, Grappling Finesse, Attack Specialisation (Unarmed), Attack Focus (Unarmed), Blind Fight, Canny Dodge, Uncanny Dodge, Greater Attack Focus (Unarmed), Greater Attack Specialisation (Unarmed) Combat: Unarmed +19, Damage +5 (20/+3), Defence +15/+12, Initiative +4 Saves: Toughness +2, Fortitude +9, Reflex +9, Will +6 Creator's notes Made completely using the T20 CharGen
My first submitted character. Please tell me what you think!
Why thank you. I had considered making Sanjuro higher level, then realized that there was no need to do so, considering almost all of the other characters are minion-level Yakuza. The fight scene that Sanjuro is watching between the two gangs is classic Minion fare. Two lines of guys with swords, each terrified to make the first move.
