Contacts:
Frederick Frankenstein has various contacts in the medical field and has redeemed (by movie’s end) his family name. Frankenstein also has contacts with his servants Igor and Inga (nee Baroness Frankenstein), Frau Blucher, and of course, the Monster. Frederick could also be considered at the end of the movie to have contacts still with his ex-fiance.


Limitations:
  • Obsessed:Frederick becomes obsessed with his family legacy after deny it for so, and will stop at nothing including self-harm to prove his grandfather’s ideas were not insane. Frederick risks his life to give some semblance of normalcy to the monster, and goes much farther (including elaborate choreography).
  • Familial Reputation: Until the end of the movie, Frankenstein suffers from the stigma of his family name, and the associated reputation that it puts upon him. Initially Frederick attempts to distance himself from his legacy, and is recognized as the great-grandson of Victor Frankenstein.

Igor (Pronounced ‘EYEGOR’)





"My grandfather used to work for your grandfather. Of course the rates have gone up.”

F: Pr (4)
A: Gd (10)
S: Pr (4)
E: Gd (10)
R: Typ (06)
I: Gd (10)
P: Gd (10)

Health: 28
Karma: 26
Resources: Pr (04) to Typ (06) depending.
Popularity: 0*

Talents:
Igor has the following talents:

Knowledge: Frankenstein Family
Knowledge: Domestic Service
Knowledge: Husbandry
Knowledge: Laboratory Technician
Knowledge: Area Knowledge
Crime* (He did do grave-robbing and broke into a brain depository after all)
Machinery Operation
Charades (Although not very good).


Powers:
High Pain Threshold: Igor is able to withstand a little more pain than a normal person, often being strangled and such. Igor could be considered to have Pr (4) pain threshold.

Quick Movement: Despite his obvious hump (which changes sides), Igor can cover great distances quickly (Like being on top of a parapet and then suddenly beside Dr. Frankestein). Igor can move a full 2 areas per round unhindered without breaking a sweat.

Contacts:
Igor of course can count on his employer and the other servants.

Limitations:
Odd: Igor’s style of dress, apparent deformities, and sexual innuendo make him rather….odd…on occasion. Igor’s hump switches sides, his eyes are gigantic, and he’s easily recognizable.

The Monster



Frederick Frankenstein’s Monster

"For as long as I can remember people have hated me. They looked at my face and my body and they ran away in horror. In my loneliness I decided that if I could not inspire love, which is my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear. I live because this poor half-crazed genius, has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself.”

F: Gd (10)
A: Ex (20)
S: Rm (30)
E: Am (50)
R: Typ (06)/Ex (20)
I: Ex (20)
P: Ex (20)/ Rm (30)

Health: 110
Karma: 46/70
Resources: Ex (20)
Popularity: -10 (Before the operation)/10 (After the Operation)

Talents:
The Monster has few talents prior to the operation, but they include:
Survival
Brawling
Performer: Dance

After the Operation, the Creature gains several of Dr. Frankenstein’s talents, and also adds
Business/Finance


Powers:
Surgical Composite: The monster is a combination of dead flesh and bone reanimated and brought to life with electricity and the means that Frederick Frankenstein’s family has pioneered. As such, the monster has several key properties:

  • Body Resistance: Ex (20) protection from physical damage, Gd (10) protection from energy.
  • Regeneration*: The monster can heal from damage with Gd (10) ability
  • Invulnerability: It is assumed (Although not expressly stated anywhere in the movie) that Frederick Frankenstein used his grandfather’s monster and research as a baseline. As such, the Monster would be immune to traditional diseases and aging, although tranquilizers work pretty well.
Contacts:
The Monster has contacts with his creator and his creator’s servants, as well as his own wife Elizabeth and her wealthy family. In addition, the Monster could theoretically count the poor blind hermit as a contact…although…not for a meal or an expresso.


Limitations:
Monstrous Reputation:The Monster has a bad reputation as a rampaging monster, and his appearance certainly doesn’t help. This is mostly absolved by the end of the film through his rehabilitation via the experiment from Frederick Frankenstein.
