Hooper
Jaws (1975)

Quote: "Well, this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark."

Will Save is good save for Expert. Lucky feat comes from Hooper and Brody being the only 2 survivors of an attack by the Shark, and not only that, but they are both unhurt. Hooper is rich, hence the Wealthy feats and is driven by his work in Marine Biology, but ultimately risks his own life to help the people of Amity Island and Brody with whom he forms a fast bond.

Hooper...gosh what a classic!

And Cpt. Quint...there's a salty dog.

After playing the game Assassin's Creed, I thought it be fun to write-up Altaïr.

Conversion Notes
I'd figure that he'd be pretty high-level considering that he is said to be the best of the assassins. As for chosen feats and skill list, I'd chose them due to how I played the game, what abilities were in the game, and any info gathered from the cut-scenes.

* Purple Alien Thing
+1 DEX, -1 INT, -1 CHA

Chode is a not too bright, lustful purple blob who cares less about the welfare of his crew than about seeing a hot young cheerleader in a tight sweater. His schemes and plans always have a way of failing spectacularly, often forcing him to face potential death or disaster only to be rescued by his Pleasure Cyborg "Six". Though he hates the Dark Clowns (most noteably Darph Bobo) and the Confederation, he is always falling foul to their tricks and traps, even though he thinks he is in control.

Chode's strong save for Expert is Reflex, as he has demonstrated almost unnatural agility on multiple occasions.

EDIT - forgot his Exotic Weapon Training Lightsabre.

Nameless
Hero (2002)



Background: Human (Epic Chinese Hero)
Role: Warrior / Expert
Level: 18 / 2

VICE: Narrow Minded
VIRTUE: Courageous

STR +1 DEX +5 CON +1 INT +1 WIS +1 CHA +0

SKILLS:
Acrobatics 16 (+21), Bluff 16 (+16), Concentration 6 (+7), Diplomacy 10 (+10), Disguise 5 (+5), Jump 16 (+17), Knowledge (Current Events) 6 (+7), Knowledge (Art) 7 (+8 ), Knowledge (Philosophy) 7 (+8 ), Notice 8 (+9), Ride 5 (+10), Sleight of Hand 6 (+11), Stealth 6 (+11), Sense Motive 10 (+11)

BACKGROUND TRAIT
Wind Walking (Power).

COMBAT:
Initiative: +9
Attack: +24, Damage +1 Unarmed
Attack: +27, Damage +6 Masterwork Sword crit 17-20/+3
Defense: 36/32 Dodge/Parry (+19 base, +5 DEX/+1 STR/+1 WIS, +1 Feat)
Saves: +1 Tough (+1 CON), +12 Fortitude (+11 base/+1 CON), +11 Reflex (+6 base/+5 DEX), +8 Will (+7 base/+1 WIS)

Possessions: Masterwork Sword

Strong Save for Expert is Will. Nameless could easily be epic, but as there are no rules for Epic, I capped him at 20. Devoted for the majority of his life to the destruction of the King of Qin, it is only at the end that he realises his error and sees what Broken Sword had seen years earlier.

Had to edit to give Windwalking as a bonus Background Power (Background I suppose is Epic/Chinese Hero?) Don't know how I forgot that. Nameless treats his Character level as Adept Level for this Power.

Popular thread once again all of a sudden! Yay!

Keep up the good work! Maybe it will inspire me to get off my duff and stat up the Three Musketeer and Dartangian at long last.

What about the 7 Samurai? or at least Kambei and Kikuchiyo?

A sociopath who is prone to losing his temper but never his control. Vic Vega spent time in prison for Joe Cabot for refusing to talk to the authorities. When he paroles, Joe brings him in on the jewel heist that invariably goes horribly awry. Given the code-name Mr Blonde, Vic goes on a shooting spree during the heist which does not endear him to Mr White or Mr Pink. He captures and then tortures Marvin, a cop, before he is shot and killed by Mr Orange. Vic Vega is best friends with "Nice Guy" Eddie.

Possessions: trench coat, fedora; Wealth: +4 (He used to be better off, but time has atrophied his wealth score).

Distinguishing Features/Mannerisms: Cain’s time in the tin suit has hardened his heart. He is somewhat cold and aloof, though he has a soft spot for the downtrodden such as the common folk Azkadellia has stepped on. He is smart, but cautious.

Background: Wyatt Cain is a former Tin Man, the police force acting as the Mystic Man’s protection force. When Azkadellia rose to power and smashed the Tin Men, he joined a resistance movement against her and incurred her wrath. His family was captured by Azkadellia’s Longcoat Soldiers and he was locked in a tin suit as punishment. Zero, The man who would come to lead Azkadellia’s Longcoats decided to torture Cain, and forced him to watch an endlessly repeating holographic image of his wife and son being abducted by the Longcoats.
He was freed from his imprisonment by D.G. and Glitch. Despite his better judgment he agrees to take them to Central City. On the way there the three meet the viewer Raw who is searching for a way to regain his viewing abilities. In Central City, Cain discovers the Mystic Man has become addicted to Azkadellia’s Vapors, but who in a moment of clarity tasks Cain with protecting D.G. with his life on his honor as a Tin Man.
When D.G. and Raw are captured by the Longcoats, Cain is shot point blank by Zero and left for dead. He is saved from near death by Glitch who nurses him back to health. Had Cain not been wearing his bullet resistant vest, he would have died. The two rescue D.G and Raw after they are released by Tutor and Cain learns Azkadellia has killed the Mystic Man. Cain recommits himself to fulfilling the Mystic Man’s last request of him.
Shortly after crossing the Frozen Mountains, Cain learns his family survived. He discovers the grave of his wife, but no sign of his son. He later learns that his son Jeb is the leader of the resistance movement. The two capture Zero and whereas Jeb wants to kill Zero, Wyatt restrains him. He doesn’t let Zero off easily though, and locks him in a tin suit.
The resistance stages a diversion while D.G. and company sneak back into Azkadellia’s lair. Cain accompanies Glitch to shutdown the Sun Seeder whilst D.G. seeks out Azkadellia. Just when it appears Cain is going to have to shoot Glitch’s brain, Glitch remembers how to shut the Sun Seeder down. At the same time D.G and Azkadellia (now freed from the witch possessing her) watch the witch melt, when the machine is shut down.

Design Notes: Wyatt Cain is a R.A.W character.

Well done.....
I, uh, did this deliberately to see if anyone would, uh, read it.

[timemrick]

I just have an eye for these things. It's how I've landed proofreading gigs. And now, far too often, I can't seem to get that part of my brain to turn off...which can be annoying when I want to merely read something for pure enjoyment.
