31 Days Character Creation Challenge Day 25: Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells

 The 25th day's character is another poor soul caught up in someone else's idea of right and wrong. 
Name: Galvett 
On Grongotha where you are from, Hope is dying. Your beautiful life-giving star is fading, and singing its own funeral dirge. Stars lead long lives, and the song has persisted since before you were born. That was most of what you knew growing up: snow, your parents (kind but distant inside their deafening masks), and the Song. 
This is why your generation has founded the Church of the Siren-Star, and now it is your sacred duty to travel the galaxy, singing the dirge to those who have yet to understand the beauty and pain of a True Ending. Many people do not appreciate this, so you have become adept at hiding yourself away aboard spaceships. 
You were arrested for disturbing the peace. These people do not seem to grasp the need for a profound disturbance. This imprisonment is only a chance to more fully experience the garish hollowness of the human charade. And get food twice a day.

Concept: Dirge-Singer
Second Concept: Expert Stowaway

PHYSIQUE 9

Species ability: The Grongothans originated on a planet much like Earth, but descended from antelope-like herbivores. They have slowly mutated to need less sunlight than humans. They have a slightly greater resistance to cold than humans as well, but do not do well in warm environments. As a dirge-singer, Galvett has the special ability to sing the Song of Endings. Effect: Confusion: Makes victim confused and disoriented, receiving a Negative Die to all actions for a number of rounds equal to her level.

Special Abilities

● You Can’t Hit Me: The Nimble’s main ability in combat is avoiding getting hit. The character can impose a number of Negative Dice on attacks against them per combat equal to their Level.

● That’s an Easy Target: Precision is a trademark of this Archetype. Instead of needing a full combat round to aim a shot The Nimble can forego their Movement in a round to get the same benefit as someone aiming for a full round.

● Luck is on My Side: For some reason luck always favor The Nimble. Well, almost always. Characters from this Archetype can reroll a number of Luck Rolls per adventure equal to their Level.

● I Know How to Do This: Having a very flexible career (and sometimes even more flexible morals),The Nimble learns many trades and skills. Because of this they learn an additional “profession” each odd Level beginning at first. These professions can be used just like Concepts, granting and imposing Positive or Negative Dice. In Galvett's case it is her experience as a stowaway. 

Current gear:

Vacc suit which acts as light armor. 

Hardtack and weak ale

Flashlight

Big sack

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!

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

Oh B.R.O.T.H.E.R.

  The Agents from B.R.O.T.H.E.R.  B.R.O.T.H.E.R. (Bureau for Research on Occult Threats Harming or Endangering Reality) is a secret international institution with offices all over the world. Their purview is to investigate and understand all that is unearthly, esoteric and dismissed by the mainstream of science. Should a phenomenon prove dangerous, it is to be neutralized. Even its agents are unclear on who exactly it is they work for. Three main theories exist B.R.O.T.H.E.R. is an agency under the aegis of the United Nations. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of its purview, it is kept secret even from the member nations.  B.R.O.T.H.E.R. is the modern incarnation of the Brotherhood of Thoth-Hermes, a Hermetic society dedicated to breaking down any opposition between science and esoteric philosophy. According to this narrative, everybody and their mother was secretly an initiate (Benjamin Franklin, Sir Isaac Newton, Hildegard of Bingen, Abramelin the Mage etc. etc.) B.R.O.T.H.E.R.
