31 Days Character Creation Challenge Day 23: Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells

 

Today and the coming days I'm making characters for Blades & Cosmic Spells. I imagine these characters as members of a science-fantasy chain gang. 

Name: Yosho Grixxithra Agurazk 

 You are Zaba. Your republic spans three exquisite swamp worlds, and the Council of Grandmothers lead you ever into prosperity and calm. 

The mammals from Beyond are a strange and often warlike species. You have little in the way of war within your own species, but you do know how to defend yourselves. 

You are a colorful semi-anthropomorphic frog. Your primary color is a vivid orange, which marks you as a member of the defender caste. To your species the nature/nurture distinction is meaningless. Your kind are born into a caste that is also a cultural duty. Humanity’s dissatisfied and aggressive nature is most likely due to lacking clarity of purpose, you think. Not that Humans take pointers from you. 

 You trained hard with the long rifle and the saber, in order to repel the marauding apes. You won two encounters. To your sorrow you lost the third. 

You are a prisoner of war, not a common criminal. The mammals do not seem to understand this distinction though. Right now maintaining morale is primary, then plan an escape. 



Concept: Frog-person of the defender caste

Class: Tough

PHYSIQUE 11

AGILITY 13

INTELLECT 11

WILLPOWER 10

Vitality:13

Sanity: 11

Luck: 3

Credits: Currently none

Recovery Roll: 1d6+2 

Species abilities: Yosho’s species, the Zaba, are perfect amphibians, operating equally well on land and in water. They also jump quite well. 

Class Abilities

● Too Tough to Die: Once per adventure, upon reaching 0 Vitality,The Tough immediately regains 1d6 + LevelVitality points. This represents the character’s strong resilience and unfaltering determination. 

● Feel the Pain: No one strikes as hard asThe Tough. All melee damage inflicted by the character is increased by 1 (so if the weapon’s normal damage is 1d6The Tough would cause 1d6+1 points of damage when using that weapon). 

● I Can Take 'Em All:The Tough knows how to take advantage of their superior combat prowess. The character can make a number of extra attacks per round equal to the difference between their Level and the highest number of HD possessed by an opponent in close range 

● That’s my Favorite:The Tough chooses one particular type of melee weapon as their favorite. When using weapons of that type the character rolls a Positive Die. In Yosho’s case this is the saber. 

Current gear:

Vacc suit which acts as light armor. 

Hardtack and weak ale

Flashlight

Big sack

Day 03: Arlene Ramsey (Hard City)

Image
Detroit, 1946. When people think of a woman assassin, they think of some Rita Hayworth-looking glamorpuss. That’s not Arlene. She has that kind of reassuring face you’d like to see in a doctor’s office or behind a lunch counter. Arlene is an assassin though, and has eleven confirmed kills to her name. Don’t hesitate, don’t stand out. That’s words to live by for a contract killer. Arlene made her first kill in the jailhouse. She was inside for knocking her (ex)husband down with a bottle, and stealing his wallet and car. While inside, she strangled an officious trustee who tried to blackmail her. Arlene got away with it, and the only other witness, Astrid Felton, knew to keep quiet, up to a point. When they got out, Astrid admitted that she’d told her boyfriend Eugene Farrugia, “a big man in the COMMISSION”. This turned out to be a half-truth at best. Gene was a go-between, and quite squeamish for a made man. Still, Arlene found that they could do business. She’d do the hits and Gene wou...

The Last Days of Kranium Kastle

Image
This is a hack of TROIKA! (and Fighting Fantasy in general). You play the part of a creature serving an evil overlord. The war against the Forces of good isn’t going as planned, and it may be time for some hard decisions. Do you stay and fight or desert? Do you try to switch sides (as if the Forces of Good would ever trust or shelter you)? Or do you maybe have some crazy scheme which might turn the tide in your favor, and visit doom upon the armies of elves, dwarves, humans and warrior angels. This hack is inspired by Fighting Fantasy books (particularly The Warlock of Firetop Mountain , Citadel of Chaos , Phantoms of Fear and Creature of Havoc ). Thanks to Eric Nieudan for letting me borrow his crowblins! It's all literal with these guys CREATING A CHARACTER Roll for SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK as described in TROIKA!

Magick of the Moon Priestess

Image
This another post inspired by one of Evlyn M's beautiful art pieces. Consider supporting her: https://www.patreon.com/evlynmoreau/posts The moon priestess is a great worker of magick. She is often spied by the broken-hearted, by insomniacs and by people on ketamine. She is unearthly and beautiful, having taken something of the moon’s light for herself. Her eyes are like twin blood moons. She is attended always by moths and sometimes by ensorcelled astronomers. Used with permission. The moon priestess communes with many lunar deities and creatures but worship none but Her Majesty the Moon. This is the magick of the moon priestess and the few with whom she deigns to share it. 1: Her Lips of Amber never part This may be basic social engineering rather than magic, but the results seem quite magical. The stillness of a full moon night has a profound effect on the human animal. The stillness is too immense and loud and the urge to fill it with one’s own noise can be irrep...
