Sable has many talents, including:

  • Sonny Pratt
  • Eden Kendell: Sable's publisher and confidant
  • Myke Blackmon: Sable's on-again/Off-again girlfriend and illustrator.
  • Chief Winters: While an antagonistic relationship exists between Sable and Winters, it was shown to soften a bit (Shaman's Tears # 5) to the point that Winters probably is a contact.


Limitations:

  • Public ID: Sable maintains his identity publicly as an adventurer for hire, and is well known for his activities.
  • Secret ID: Sable maintains a dual identity specifically as B.B. Flemm - the writer of popular children's novels  Sable is very careful to maintain the public identity of the writer, purely for financial reasons (It was imagined that Sable's persona would tank sales).
  • Wanted: Sable has been wanted for murder at one time in Africa.

 

 

As you might tell, Jon Sable was perhaps one of my favorite comics in the 1980s and possibly one of the better books out of a period of time of better comics. Sable had a short-lived TV series in 1988 and has long been the subjects of possible adaptions.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein from 'Penny Dreadful'

 If you cannot endure the nightmare, you should not lie down for the sleep.

Victor Frankenstein

 


 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F: Typ (06)
A: Gd (10)
S: Typ (06)
E: Gd (10)
R: Rm (30)
I: Ex (20)
P: Ex (20) (At beginning of series), Rm (30) at end of series)

Health: 32
Karma: 70/80
Resources: Typ (06)/Ex (20) (Depending on the Resource backing of Malcolm Murray)
Popularity: 2 (within London Resurectionists and such in Greater London).

Talents:

  • Nobility*
  • Medicine*
  • Chemistry
  • Occult Lore
  • Multi-Lingual
  • Firearms
  • Knowledge: Greater London Medical
  • Knowledge: London Area
  • Knowledge: Basic Meteorology
  • Knowledge: Necro-Engineering (Returning the dead to life)
  • Forensics and Pathology
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Sharp Weapons: Small


Powers:
Victor Frankenstein has no known supernatural abilities.

Equipment:
Laboratory: Frankenstein usually has access to a laboratory which is capable of providing him with access to power, chemicals, surgery, and other necessary tools in his research. Frankenstein’s resources are tied directly into how much material he has to work with in shaping and maintaining his lab, and its location is only known to a few individuals at any one time.

Contacts:
Frankenstein has some connections throughout the city, but mainly can rely on Ethan Chandler and Malcolm Murray as reliable contacts. Frankenstein might be able to rely on his surviving creations – The Monster/John Clare and Brona/Lily, although this is doubtful. In addition, Frankenstein went to school and still maintains cordial relations with Dr. Henry Jekyll.

Limitations:
Victor Frankenstein has several limitations which work differently than regular limitations. At the start of any event, The Judge determines which limitations are in play without telling Frankenstein immediately. Due to the nature of Frankenstein’s limitations, certain limitations may come into play while others may not. These limitations include (and are not limited to):

  • Dark Secret: Frankenstein has reanimated the dead, giving life to the lifeless. Frankenstein is reluctant to tell anyone this secret (even his most trusted comrades, some of whom still do not know). Frankenstein’s steps to protect this secret are unknown, but anytime that it may be discovered Frankenstein must make a Psyche FEAT reaction.
  • Enemy: First Creation – Frankenstein has an unusual relationship with his first creation, wavering between hatred (John Clare rightfully feels abandoned by his creator) to support (Frankenstein agrees to create a mate for this creature). The relationship is complex and never really certain, as Clare maintains both a respect and menacing presence in Frankenstein’s life.
  • Enemy: Third Creation – Frankenstein loves/hates/desires Lily, and will work against his own intuition to regain her love. At the same time, after the Season 2 finale, Frankenstein becomes obsessed with regaining her/stopping her. Lily does not trust her ‘creator’, and while the two have parted, it is uncertain what the future would hold.
  • Guilty: Frankenstein feels a degree of guilt (rightfully so) of his actions, but does not necessarily understand them while he acts. This continues well into the final season and beyond.
  • Socially awkward: Frankenstein is awkward at times and can allow his agitation and intellectual arrogance to place him in difficult situations. The situation has led to many inadvertent comical situations, but has placed him in real danger as he did not understand the nature of his threats on occasion.

Penny Dreadful - Do you believe there is a demimonde?

 

Debuting in 2014, Penny Dreadful  represented a different sort of show and was a dark contrast to how horror and period shows were done to that point. Gritty and full of references to the gothic horror that spawned it, Penny Dreadful re-imagined both the characters that were drawn from classic literature as well as the well-known folklore around such creatures. To say it was probably my favorite show of the last several decades would be an understatement. I've attempted to capture the elements of the characters in these write-ups and have a few more down the road.

Ethan Chandler (Played by Josh Harnett) - An American gunfighter hiding a deadly secret
Frankenstein's Monster (Played by Rory Kinnear) - the first creation of Dr. Frankenstein 
Sir Malcolm Murray  (Played by Timothy Dalton) - An famed explorer and man of means
Vanessa Ives  (Played by Eva Green) - A family friend of Sir Malcolm's daughter, witch, and psychic.
Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Played by Harry Treadaway) - A physician and scientist obsessed with death.
Sembene (Played by Danny Sapani) - A mysterious figure and ally of the group tied to Sir Malcolm.
Dorian Gray (Played by Reeve Carney) - A youthful immortal who is ageless and sins without regret.
Lily Frankenstein (Played by Billie Piper) - The reanimated Brona Croft - powerful and dangerous

Jack's Heroes - write-ups of heroes from throughout the ages



 A good deal of the time I focus on Halloween or horror write-ups, but I've worked to stat a number of characters over the years that I either wanted to stat or had not been written up that I always felt needed to be. Jack's Heroes were write-ups that were characters I really dig and I hope I've captured properly. I have villain write-ups on the way as well as the heroines and villaness write-ups on their separate section.

P: CL 1000 (1000)

Health: 1340
Karma: 1200
Resources: N/A
Popularity: - 30/ -100

Talents:

Theoretically, Cthulhu possesses every talent mankind has access to, specifically professional and knowledge talents, although in Call of Cthulhu no significant talents are displayed.

Powers:

Elder Alien Being: While often mistaken for a 'God', the manifestation of Cthulhu is actually an alien being, originally born in deep space and on Earth. Cthulhu is not a creature that one could completely catalog, displaying unusual physical characteristics and capable of many abilities when awakened, which occurs during certain planetary alignments and prompted by human cultists. Cthulhu is an age-old threat, whose full powers and extent of abilities are not fully marked in any of his Lovecraftian appearances. Cthulhu has displayed the following attributes:

  • Invulnerability: Cthulhu is invulnerable (CL1000) to standard forms of common damage, such as toxins, radiation, disease, deep space, great depths, environmental, aging, or any of the other normal means of damage. Cthulhu's body can be damaged, as seen when its head was destroyed by a ship ramming it, but it does not actually take damage unless done under certain undefined conditions.
  • Alien Mind: Cthulhu's mind is alien, granting it the ability of Telepathy, Mind Probe, Mind Drain, Psychic Shield, Mind Blast, and Dream Travel all at Mn (75). Cthuhu's alien mind prevents telepathic contact, granting it CL1000 Psi-Screen, while at the same time, anyone attempting to read Cthulhu's thoughts will suffer a Psyche FEAT against Un (100) intensity or suffer madness/be incapacitated for a length of time determined by the judge (While this part is not in the novel, it is probably as many of those who allowed Cthulhu to enter their thoughts in the short story were mad due to it).
  • Regeneration: Cthulhu can regenerate its body with Sh-Z (500) ability, as its head began to reform moments after it was struck by the small yacht and destroyed
  • Permanent growth: Cthulhu is well over 200' feet tall, having permanent growth
  • Self-Sustenance: Cthulhu does not need to eat, breath, or even sleep (Although it can be put to sleep) to survive.
  • Cosmic Awareness: As it stated within the story, Cthulhu is aware of everything within the universe, possessing Cosmic Awareness at Cl1000
  • Flight: While Cthulhu did not fly in the short story, it was clearly stated it possessed wings and had arrived on Earth from outer space. It would be safe to assume Cthulhu could fly with CL1000 ability, capable of warping to other worlds.
  • Natural Weaponry: Claws: Cthulhu possesses large claws, capable of rending most materials with Un (100) ability.
  • Multiple Attacks: As described as a kraken, Cthulhu is probably capable of multi-attacks, at least at Am (50)

Contacts:

Various human cults around the world
Other elder beings.
RPG companies.


Limitations:

  • Forced Slumber: Cthulhu is only active for a short time due to a special alignment of stars, which do not come into alignment often. As such, Cthulhu is forced into sleep amid the ruined submerged city of R'yleth. Cthulhu is completely in a state of suspended animation, and cannot interact with the world.
  • Enemies: Cthulhu's activities are often opposed by other beings.
  • Monstrous looks: Cthulhu is hideous and as such, makes any such checks at -4cs.


 

 

Just a quick note.

I wrote these stats back in 2010 and there were some debates. I'm simply reposting them here for consistency as I'm trying to pull all the stats I've done over the years in once location. I'm not modifying these stats in any way except to correct grammar and new images.

Ellen Ripley and Jones the Cat from 'Alien'

“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit…it’s the only way to be sure”





Ellen Louise Ripley

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

Health: 46
Karma:70
Resources: Typ (06) to Pr (04) – See Limitations.
Popularity: 2/10/-10 (Within normal situations, among those who know of her situation, within Weyland/Yutani corporate circles)

Talents:
Ripley has many skills and is quite intelligent (See Powers). Ripley has the following skill-sets:

Starship Piloting
Astrogation
Engineering
Improvised Weaponry
Knowledge: Navigation lanes
Knowledge: Ship Protocols
Knowledge: Weyland-Yutani Protocols (Low)
Power-lift piloting
Leadership*
Notice*
Firearms


Powers:

Ripley has no real powers, but possesses several key-like abilities which make her quite formidable and capable. Ripley’s survival throughout the first two Alien films set her apart from most her companions. Ripley’s abilities include:


  • Quick Learner: Ripley seems adept at picking up skills fairly quickly, such as firearms under a short period of time, operational combat driving, and the ability to quickly assess a situation within moments. As such, Ripley can make a reason FEAT to gain the basic understanding of a nominal talent (Judge’s discretion) or assess a situation.
  • Iron Resolve: Ripley can force herself to act in situations which seem dire and hopeless and against her own fear with a firm determination. Ripley can use her Psyche in situations where a fear effect is present or a situation seems difficult if not impossible. Ripley can motivate herself to continue forward even if she is afraid and ignore the penalties of the situation or condition. Note: This does not grant Ripley Iron Will – Ripley still takes damage and suffers the physical effects, but instead Ripley does not face the Psychic and/or emotional aspects to rank.
  • Lucky Breaks: Despite what would be considered a great of tragedy, Ripley does have luck on her side, ranging from being able to spot the xenomorph in the shuttle to arriving and being rescued by Bishop aboard the Sulaco’s second drop ship. When Ripley is in a situation where it seems most dire, Ripley can spend 50 karma to enact a lucky break (surviving an assault aboard the ship, managing to get thrown into the room with the power-lifter, or even being able to survive being almost sucked into space.
Contacts:
Ellen Ripley has few contacts, mainly with her former crew and perhaps Cpl. Dwayne Hicks and Newt, the other survivor of LV-426.

Limitations:
  • Traumatized Until the events after Aliens, Ripley suffers from terrifying dreams which temporarily reduce her Psyche and actions for 1d4 hours. The limitation seems to fade after the events of Aliens.
  • Corporate Enemies It would be safe to say that Ripley is not friendly with her former company Weyland-Yutani, especially after the events of the first two movies. Ripley has very little respect for the corporation as their actions have directly affected her in various ways. As a side-effect, when situations occur, Weyland-Yutani will quietly sweep anything regarding Ellen Ripley under the rug and will discredit her when possible.
  • Reputation Ellen Ripley’s reputation was fairly destroyed after the events of the first Alien movie, and as such she’s considered deranged. Ripley’s reputation leads to the revocation of her flight status, making her unable to get gainful employment outside of power-lifter operator.
  • Vengeful Ripley is vengeful towards the xenomorphs and will never entertain anything less than their complete destruction. As such, Ripley cannot be dissuaded or convinced that the xenomorphs offer anything valuable.
  • Loyal Ripley is extraordinary loyal as a friend and parent figure, willing to sacrifice herself to protect people and will often place herself in danger to do so. Ripley will stop at nothing to help those around her, including venturing into the xenomorph hive to rescue Newt, return with a power-loader to do one-on-one battle with the xenomorph queen, and ensure that Jones the cat is rescued and in the status chamber.
  • Distrustful of Synthetics With the only exception being Bishop, Ripley is distrustful of most other synthetics, suffering an immediate Psyche FEAT at -1cs or having an angry reaction when encountering them. Ripley does not trust synthetics after her encounters with Ash, although she has a grudging respect for Bishop at the end of Aliens

The Gunslinger from 'Westworld' (1974)

“Draw”




 F: Gd (10)
A: Ex (20)
S: Gd (10)
E: In (40)
R: Typ (06)
I: Gd (10)
P: Typ (06)

Health: 80
Karma: 32
Resources: N/A
Popularity: N/A

Talents:
As a robot, the gunslinger has the talents appropriate to whatever role it is given. When all of the Delos Corporation theme parks went berserk, the Gunslinger was loaded with the following talents:

Firearms
Quick Draw (+1 to Initiative)
Horsemanship
Brawling
Knowledge: West World area.
Knowledge: Culture of the West
Intimidation


Powers:
Robotic Construct

The gunslinger is a robot, constructed by Delos Corporation and made to behave and act as human as possible in a specific role. The Gunslinger’s role is that of the ‘black hat’, or bad guy, a role that the Gunslinger has been locked in since the malfunction within the Delos Corporation’s theme parks. As a robot, the Gunslinger is immune to disease or toxins, but can be burned by acids and the like. The Robot’s construction allows it to take damage and remain operating. Normally, the Gunslinger’s stats are reduced when encountering guests, in order to allow them to be able to ‘best’ it. The Gunslinger’s stats under the reduction are as follows:

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

Health: 24
Karma: 26

While in safe mode, the Gunslinger will lose fights and apparently be killed, recycled for the next day to repeat its process all over again. Once the errors begin in the theme park, the Gunslinger is no longer considered in safe mode, and has its full range of abilities appropriate for both its role and its construction.

The Gunslinger is constructed of a Gd (10) material and is considered to have some resistance to true damage at around Typ (06). The Gunslinger usually uses traditional optics, but has a full range of infra-red sensors which provide it with thermal imaging at Gd (10).

The Gunslinger will follow its program and pursue its ‘target’ with unexpected zeal, selecting the ‘dude’ which last bested it. As part of the system-wide error within Delos Corporation, the Gunslinger will ignore Delos Corporation protocols and will continue its pursuit until either destroyed or successful in killing its prey.


The Gunslinger is equipped with standard .45 pistols, six shots which do normal shooting damage. In the hands of the Gunslinger, the pistols add an additional +1 to initiative when the Gunslinger is facing down other robots in West World or when the Delos protocols are removed.

Contacts:
The Gunslinger has no contacts.

Limitations:

  • Robotic Construct The Gunslinger is a robot and as such, is limited by its programmed role. The Gunslinger has no originality and will follow the role in which it has been given to the letter. In addition, the Gunslinger cannot be reasoned with, its purpose is to provide the bad guy to the park’s visitors.
  • Limited Power Source Like all Delos constructs, the Gunslinger has a limited immediate power source, but has a backup system which operates in critical conditions. There is no stated time how long one of the Delos robots can operate, but it is assumed at least a day before requiring recharging.
  • The Delos Protocols Each Delos robot is programmed to serve human hosts and cannot harm them, ranging from the actual human-like robots to the animal constructs. All constructs in the Delos parks must follow the protocols, normally.
  • Delos infection At some point, a series of errors begin to happen within Roman World, spreading across the grids until all of the constructs and systems are in chaos. When this occurs, the robots are freed from the initial constraints and react differently, as all Delos protocols are effectively rendered void. In some cases, like the Gunslinger, the robots are locked into their roles and will pursue any activity associated with their roles.
  • Technology Limitation The Gunslinger is limited in its thermal vision to heat sources. As such, a greater heat source will ‘blind’ the Gunslinger and prevent it from detecting human body heat. The Gunslinger is considered to be at -2cs when attempting to discern human heat signatures if in the same area as a larger heat source. It should be noted however that if the Gunslinger can see normally, it will not use its thermal vision as a primary detection ability.
  • Unusual Looks During the events of the Delos crisis the gunslinger has its face burned away by acid. As such, the robotic nature of the Gunslinger is much more evident and it suffers a -1cs for concealment. The Gunslinger will not react to its appearance, as it is limited by programming.

  • Longevity/Immortal: Due to the actions of both by the Cigarette-Smoking Man and Alfred Fellig, Scully may have inadvertently gained a type of immortality or prolonged life. Although this was not confirmed, it is worth bringing up as others in the series have (including Clyde Bruckman who was able to see how a person dies and later members of the conspiracy). It's a theory, but it does have a great deal of suggestive evidence.
  • A skeptical Voice: Early on, Scully was the skeptic to Mulder's believer, often trying to find logical solutions to the cases in which they worked. When presented with a case that has some evidence in the scientific, Scully gains a +1cs to reason and intuition checks in order to provide logical solutions to issues. Later, Scully adopts more of a believer's mentality, but remains able to draw upon her skeptical voice during later events.
  • Partners: Scully can spend his own Karma on Mulder's behalf in most situations as necessary from about the end of season 1 onward.

Contacts:
Scully has a wealth of contacts in her professional careers as a doctor and physicist, including former associates and co-workers. Scully is close to Walter Skinner, her former boss at the FBI and later John Doggett, her partner while Mulder had disappeared.

Limitations:
Dana has the following limitations:
  • A skeptic's voice: It takes Dana some time to believe things that she has experienced and seen. Although Dana is no fool, she will try to rationalize some elements or find logical solutions.
  • Powerful Enemies: Scully has powerful enemies within the Alien Conspiracy.
  • Protecting Fox and William, her son: Dana seeks to protect Fox and their son William at any cost (Including leaving her son somewhere she or the conspiracy will ever find him. Dana is at a -1CS when attempting to act in situations where Fox or William are directly at risk.
  • Devoted to Mulder: Mulder would do practically anything for his partner Mulder especially later on..

The Cigarette Smoking Man (CSM) from 'The X-Files'

'Extraordinary men are always most tempted by the most ordinary things.'

I: Rm (30)
P: Am (50)

Health: 56
Karma: 90
Popularity: 0* (See Below)
Resources: Gd (10) (Personal), Mn (75) (accessible)

Talents:
The CSM has many, many skills in years of service to the government and the shadowy conspiracy
  • Military
  • Covert Operations
  • Bureaucracy
  • Firearms
  • Detective/Espionage
  • Crime*
  • Knowledge: Conspiracies
  • Knowledge: Literature
  • Knowledge: Philosophy
  • Knowledge: Pilot
  • Knowledge: Edged Weapons (knives)
  • Advanced Intelligence Gathering Methods
  • First Aid
  • Knowledge: Human Nature
  • Law Enforcement*

Powers:
  • Indomitable Will: The CSM has a will which simply astounds: He cannot be intimidated, he cannot be swayed, and he can ignore certain things simply out of principal and his position within the conspiracies. For the purposes of the game, the CSM can substitute his Psyche score for any Psyche or Intuition effect FEAT he has to make. This does not mean the CSM can avoid damage or significant physical effects, it means simply that he cannot be affected, made afraid, or other game effects dealing with willpower or emotional control without having the ability to roll on the higher column. This ability explains how the CSM is able to effectively deal with various effects he's under. It is clearly stated by Chris Carter that the CSM is immune to fear of death in any way shape or form (cited from various sources). Even when facing his own death, the CSM seemed 'eh' about it.
  • Ghost in the Machine: Outside of a select few, there are no records of the CSM anywhere (which explains his popularity score). The Lone Gunmen were only able to produce a record they *thought* was accurate on the CSM, which was contradicted by evidence later on. The CSM has the authority to operate, but no one really knows who he is or what his purpose is.

Contacts:
At different points throughout his, the CSM has had unparalleled access and support from the Federal government and the conspiracies (specifically the Syndicate) within. The CSM has access at different points in the series to Mn (75) resources (The whole Federal level), and will always ensure the Buffalo Bills will never go to the Super Bowl and win.

Limitations:
  • Overconfident: The CSM is extraordinarily overconfident, which has been his failing at different points.
  • Enemies: The CSM has a multitude of enemies, ranging from Mulder and Scully to other high-connected members within the Syndicate.
  • Obsession: The CSM is seemingly obsessed with keeping all details of his life private, except when writing.
  • Obsession: Fox Mulder: The CSM is obsessed with Fox Mulder at different points due to a private connection.
  • Trademark: The CSM is usually seen smoking, specifically Morley cigarettes (Hence his name).

Gabriel from 'The Prophecy'




'I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.'

Health: 140
Karma: 145
Popularity: *
Resources: *

Talents: Conceivably, Gabriel could have nearly all of the fighting talents and weapons talents as a being literally older than recorded history, as well as a diverse amount of talents. As such, this write-up is only focusing on the talents displayed within The Prophecy and not the follow-up movies or folklore/religion.
Sharp Weapons
Mystic Origin*
- Occult Lore: Angelic
- Occult Lore: Demonic
- Occult Lore: Places of Power

Resist: Domination*
Ancient History

Musician

Powers:
Angelic Nature: Gabriel is an angel, and cannot be killed in conventional means. Gabriel does not need rest, does not suffer from disease, toxins, radiation, or any of the traditional vulnerabilities of the flesh. In The Prophecy, the only certain way to kill an angel is to remove their heart, which renders them inert/dead. As the angel of death and the central villain of the movie, Gabriel displayed the following abilities:
  • Invulnerability: To aging, toxins, radiation, fire, disease, pain, and death
  • Mystical detection: Gabriel can sense mystical effects through sight and most importantly, smell.
  • Animate Dead*: Gabriel can prolong death among those who have attempted suicide and have yet to cross over. Gabriel can force the unfortunate spirits to resume residence in their bodies if they are brain dead, and force them to do his will. Gabriel does this with a Psyche FEAT versus the target's psyche. Should the victim die through conventional means or be mortally wounded, the victim cannot be 'raised' again, forcing Gabriel to find a new thrall. Gabriel cannot have more than one thrall at a time.
  • Teleportation*: Gabriel can teleport in a burst of ravens to different locations that are either line of sight or known to him.
  • Telepathy: Gabriel can read the minds of all mortal beings with Rm (30) ability, allowing him to also probe an individual's memories and/or control/influence animals.
  • Angelic sense: Gabriel can sense the presence of other angels and individuals touched by angels (no pun intended) with Am (50) intensity, limited to line of sight or a 2-area range.
  • Healing: While Gabriel's corporeal body cannot be killed, Gabriel can sustain wounds and damage that are apparent, requiring him to spend 1 - 10 rounds to heal such damage. Gabriel can heal such wounds quickly through ingestion of sugar for some reason (As shown with all angels in later movies).
  • True Sight: Gabriel sees things as they truly are with Ex (20) ability
  • Mystical Attacks: All of Gabriel's attacks are considered mystical, and as such, do strength damage, halving body armor and suffering no resistance. Gabriel can easy shred through standard non-mystical materials and can pull a heart from a human chest.
  • Exorcism: It is assumed at Gabriel and most of the other angels possess the ability to draw spirits and such beings from other bodies with an opposed Psyche FEAT.
Gabriel's horn: featured in the movie as more of a prop, Gabriel's horn does Am (50) sonic generation and treats as a mystical attack, capable of shattering glass or affecting specific targets within an area. Gabriel can allow others to use the horn if he holds it, as seen in the movie.

Contacts:
The Host: Gabriel had many contacts within the Heavenly Host prior to the schism, and as such has contacts within his own faction.


Limitations:
  • No working knowledge of Technology: Gabriel does not have knowledge of technology, and must have individuals drive him or use certain technology. While not significant, Gabriel's inability to use technology may be more significant that just ignorance.
  • Enemies: Among Gabriel's enemies are Lucifer and other members of the opposing factions of angels.
  • Arrogance: Gabriel is extremely arrogant and vindictive towards humanity.

Lawrence Talbot, the Wolf-man (2010 movie version)

”I am what they say I am... I'm a monster. “






Lawrence Talbot

F: Gd(10)/Rm (30)
A: Gd (10)/Rm (30)
S: Typ (06)/Rm (30)
E: Gd (10)/In (40)
R: Typ (06)/Pr (04)
I: Gd (10)/Am (50)
P: Ex (20)/Typ (06)

Health: 130
Karma: 60
Resources: Gd (10) (Personal)
Popularity: 10/-10 (As a stage actor of the day, and as later the ‘werewolf murderer’)

Talents:
Lawrence has the following talents:
Heir-to-Fortune*
Nobility*
Performer: Stage Actor
Knowledge: Victorian Society
Knowledge: American Society circa 1890
Knowledge: Current Events in London
Firearms
Sharp Weapons




Powers:

Curse of the Wolfman
After being bit by the werewolf in the moors, Lawrence suffers the curse of the werewolf, transforming every full moon into a man-beast who rampages throughout the countryside and for the most part does not care who gets in his way. The curse provides Lawrence with certain abilities, which include:


  • Predatory Senses: Lawrence has superhuman senses when transformed, granting him Rm (30) heightened senses that allow him to track with Ex (20) ability. In addition, the wolfman can sense body heat, hear faint sounds such as heartbeats, and see in total darkness with Ex (20) ability.
  • Immunity: While the Wolfman, Talbot cannot be hurt by normal weapons shrugging them off as if they were inconveniences. The Wolfman took an entire volley of normal gunfire without stopping by trained officers. Silver is the only thing which can kill the Wolfman, otherwise, the Wolfman is for the most part invulnerable to standard damage. Special damage and mystical damage would be assumed to do full rank against the Wolfman, and he can still be slammed and stunned through normal means (although he can recover from a stun in a single round).
  • Hyper Running: The Wolfman can move with Ex (20) speed, capable of pushing that speed up to Rm (30) with an Endurance FEAT by running on all fours. The Wolfman can cover extraordinary amounts of distance in a short time.
  • Hyper Leaping: The Wolfman can bound and jump with Ex (20) ability, covering distance upwards and gaining altitude quickly with a series of Agility FEATs by jumping object to object. The Wolfman cleared 20’ in a single bound without effort during the London rampage.
  • Natural Weaponry: claws: The Wolfman’s claws do Rm (30) slashing damage, halving armor and acting as a mystical slashing attack. The Wolfman can damage other lycanthropes at rank damage, bypassing their normal defenses.
  • Natural Weaponry: Bite: The Wolfman can bite and rend with its teeth for damage, up to In (40). The Wolfman prefers to rend, and those bit by the wolfman can lessen the damage with an Agility FEAT. Those bit by the Wolfman are usually infected with lycanthropy. A victim must suffer 50% of their health damage from such an series of attacks in a single round. If the victim does so, the victim must make an In (40) Endurance FEAT and an Rm (30) intensity Psyche FEAT or become lycanthropes themselves.
  • Stealth: The Wolfman is extraordinarily stealthy when hunting, granting him Gd (10) stealth.
  • Enhanced Healing: The Wolfman can heal from deadly wounds quickly, the only part of the curse which carries over to Lawrence Talbot while in human form. Wounds heal with Gd (10) regeneration, and endurance ranks are regained at 4X the normal rate.

Contacts:
Prior to the events in the moors, Lawrence was well-known on the stage. After such, The only real contact Lawrence had was with Gwen Conliffe, the former fiancé of his brother Ben.


Limitations:
  • Curse of the Werewolf:Lawrence is cursed with lycanthrope and cannot control himself on the nights of the full moon. The only known cure for the curse is to be killed by a silver bullet, which ends the suffering of the curses victim. During the three nights of the full moon Lawrence has no control over what he does or how he acts, although it is suggested that those who have hurt Lawrence may bear a greater brunt of the beast’s rage, and those that Lawrence cares for can be spared it. Due to the nature of the curse and the heavy weight of it, Talbot cannot earn karma while under the effect of the curse.
  • Enemy: For the most part, Lawrence was not aware that his greatest enemy was the werewolf who infected him – His father John Talbot. John Talbot murdered Lawrence’s mother and brother, and framed Lawrence for the murders in the area. As John Talbot is well-connected and his father, Lawrence has major issues in dealing with his enemy.
  • Vulnerability: Talbot, like most werewolves, is vulnerable to silver and the attacks of other Lycanthropes. In the case of silver, Talbot has a fatal vulnerability. If struck by silver or shot by silver bullets Talbot must immediately make an Endurance FEAT at -6cs and make a Red Result. If Talbot fails he immediately begins the dying process, losing an Endurance rank every round until dead. Talbot immediately reverts to human upon being mortally wounded.


300th post - Castiel from 'Supernatural'

”This isn't funny Dean, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes!”

This is Castiel about around the time of his initial appearance, and not the later versions.









F: Mn (75)
A: Ex (20)
S: In (40)
E: Mn (75)
R: Rm (30)
I: Am (50)
P: Mn (75)

Health: 210
Karma: 155
Resources: N/A*
Popularity: 0/50 (Within mystical circles and amid demons, angels, gods, etc)

Talents:
Castiel has existed since the birth of the universe as one of the angels charged in protecting and serving the creator. AS such, Castiel has access to any number of skills that would be normal, with certain exceptions. Castiel has shown expertise in:
Fighting: Brawling, Martial Arts A
Swordsmanship
Mystic Origin*
Advanced Mathematics
Knowledge: Angelic Host
Knowledge: Greater Demons and Devils
Knowledge: Greater Primordial threats
Knowledge: True History of the Universe.

Powers:
Angel of the first order:
Castiel is an angel of the host who seeks to help mankind and serve the will of God in all things. Several of Castiel’s powers are intrinsic to angels within the Supernatural universe, and are considered ‘standard’ abilities. These abilities include:

  • Angelic Perception: Castiel’s perception and senses are superhuman bordering on sublime. Castiel effectively has True Sight* at most times, as well a Microscopic vision, telescopic vision, and in some cases, penetration vision at Ex (20) ability. Castiel can determine a person’s true identity and medical status simply by smelling them, and can track individuals across some distance. Castiels’ attunements allow him to understand and read a person’s mind with Rm (30) ability, perceiving thoughts of normal humans easily as well as lower stationed angels and demons. Castiel is effective part of a greater host, and as such can draw upon that perception as needed to understand and perceive things, limited by his station and the determined need.
  • Angelic Healing and Manipulation: Castiel’s status as an angel allows him to perform many feats, including healing, resurrecting, and even smiting with holy power. Castiel can heal a person up to Mn (75) per round with a touch. Castiel can raise the recently dead with a Psyche FEAT, the severity of the FEAT determined by the length of time the victim has been dead and the amount of damage done to them. Castiel can also ‘possess’ an individual (which he does to work on Earth early on) with Un (100) ability, limited to needing permission of the individual to do so. Castiel can smite enemies and exorcise spirits with an opposed Psyche FEAT by touching them, although higher ranked angels and powerful demons are not affected by such. Castiel can render a normal human of Rm (30) psyche or less to go to sleep simply by touching them, and forces a Psyche FEAT from individuals with In (40) to Am (50) Psyche or force them to go unconscious.
  • Spatial Manipulation: Castiel can manipulate matter, space, and time in unique ways. Castiel can utilize telekinesis to throw and move objects with Rm (30) ability and control. In addition, Castiel can move freely through time and space with Un (100) ability, teleporting near a person in question or even traveling through time on a limited basis. Castiel can teleport individuals by touch, including teleporting individuals away with a simple brush of the hand. Castiel can cause pyrokinetic effects with Rm (30) intensity, and is capable of setting fire to things and objects in the same area he’s in even if he cannot normally see them.
  • Angelic Invulnerability: Like most angels of the host, Castiel is effectively immune to disease, toxins, aging, temperature extremes, poisons, and environmental effects. Castiel is immune to most normal damage types, including weaponry of normal sort, shrugging off bullets, guns, explosives, fire, and sharp weapons with ease. Castiel can be harmed by the weapons and effects of higher ranked angels (like archangels) or demons of great power, as well as supernatural creatures who are considered ‘gods’. Castiel can still be slammed through normal effects, but cannot be stunned through ‘normal’ attacks.
  • Warding and Spells: Castiel is versed in the Enochian symbols and spells and is able to use them effectively to banish angels, ward demons, etc. The spell knowledge seems to be something all angels are versed in, although Castiel was shown to be a little more capable than others.


Contacts:
Castiel has contacts among the host, being considered one of the first and more dedicated. Castiel has strong connections to the Winchester Brothers, specifically Dean, and has some connections throughout his experiences with them.

Limitations:
Despite Castiel’s great powers, he still suffers from many significant drawbacks:
  • Sigils and Wards: Castiel is vulnerable to the wards and sigils designed to keep angels and outsiders at bay, and can be banished and even exorcised from his host. Castiel cannot resist such wards and is immediately held at bay or banished.
  • Holy Flame: Castiel, like most angels, can be held at bay and trapped by holy fire for an undetermined period of time.
  • Angelic Form: Castiel’s true form is beautiful and terrible to behold, rendering normal humans or thoughts with Psyches below Rm (30) deaf and blind (perhaps permanently). Castiel commented that sight of his form could only be perceived by a select few humans.
  • The Host: Castiel is loyal to his host and god, and as such, early on is dedicated to the point of zealousness, a fact known throughout the various supernatural entities encountered.
  • Loyal: Castiel is incredibly loyal to the Winchesters.
  • No common understanding: Although possessed with supernatural perception and knowledge, Castiel has very little understanding of human culture or experience. As such, Castiel is often unable to perceive cultural references or other aspects of humanity (like lying at first).

Negan from 'The Walking Dead'

”Buddy, are you still there? I just don't know. It seems like you're trying to speak... but you just took a hell of a hit!”









F: Ex (20)
A: Gd (10)
S: Gd (10)
E: Ex (20)
R: Gd (10)
I: Ex (20)
P: Ex (20)

Health: 60
Karma: 50
Resources: Typ (04)*
Popularity: 10/-20 (Amid the Saviors of Sanctuary, amid the Alexandria survivors).

Talents:
Negan’s skills are still shrouded in mystery, but they include:
Leadership*
Blunt Weapons
Sharp Weapons
Firearms
Brawling
Weapons Specialist: Lucille * (See Lucille)
Knowledge: Small Unit Tactics
Knowledge: Home Area
Knowledge: Savior Operations and Laws
Knowledge: Survival
Knowledge: Teaching
Knowledge: Sports Coaching
Knowledge: Small Business Operation (Used Car Dealership)



Powers:
Brutal man in brutal times:
Negan is a brutal man who absolutely uses his brutality to enforce his will or to maintain the Saviors upon the survivors. Negan’s brutality is matched only by his cunning, his own warped sense of honor, and his dedication to maintaining his ‘people’. Negan has also shown he understands people far better than people would expect, and has few people he finds worthy of respect, his main enemy Rick Grimes being one of them. Negan’s downright remorselessness is a hallmark, and have given him several advantages when dealing with others:

  • Sizing up a person: Negan can size up a person through small cues and behavior marks, determining if they could be trusted or the sort of person they are. When first encountering Negan, Negan gains a +1CS Intuition check to ‘get a feel’ for how a person works, how group dynamics work, and where the weakest link is. Negan often uses this feeling to determine how best to hurt the groups he deals with.
  • Remorseless: Negan is completely remorseless and simply doesn’t feel in the wrong when acting – AS such, Negan’s reputation is deserved as being heartless. In situations in which Negan must make a Psyche FEAT regarding choices, such as save a group of people from walkers, etc…. Negan can instead choose to ignore such. Negan actually loses karma if he shows unwarranted mercy.
  • Saviors: While Negan leads the Saviors, Negan has backup with anywhere between 10 – 20 willing fighters who are extremely loyal to Negan. As such, Negan can call upon a small group and does so when expecting trouble.
  • Impression: Should Negan be in a situation where he must make a personal appearance, he will ensure that it is memorable. Negan will kill people to make a point, and loses no karma doing so…Negan does not lose karma for killing.

Lucille





 













Lucille is reinforced baseball bat which has further been modified to be wrapped in barb-wire. It is Negan’s primary weapon and the symbol of his authority. In addition, Negan talks to it, concerned about how it is treated and apologizes to it when events happen where Negan must use it.

The Baseball bat is made of Typ (06) material and is further enhanced to protect it against Gd (10) physical damage. Lucille does 10 Points Blunt damage and 10 points sharp Edged damage. Negan will never throw Lucille as an attack.

Contacts:
Negan’s contacts are usually his subordinates, although it can be argued that Carl Grimes is now a contact.

Limitations:
  • Honorable in his own fashion: Negan is honorable in a way – He absolutely despises rape and will go out of his way to punish rapists, usually killing them even if among his own people. Negan is brutal in all dealings, but follows his own rules to the letter.
  • Reputation: Negan has a terrible reputation and is well-feared in the Alexandria/Hilltop area. Negan never goes in disguise and is easily recognized simply based on that reputation.
  • Borderline Psychopath: Either crazy from the events of the zombie apocalypse or simply unhinged beforehand, Negan is a little off, often talking to Lucille and simply unwilling to not be as brutal as he can be.
  • After-Death Limitation: Infected: Like all survivors in the world, Negan is infected with whatever turns the dead into zombies. If Negan’s Health ever reached 0 and he loses all endurance, Negan will turn into a zombie within 10 - 100 rounds.

Talents:

History: Earth and Kryptonian, Trivia:
Metropolis

Powers:
LAST SON OF KRYPTON:
As one of the last survivors of Krypton, Superman’s physiology is far different than that of mortal
man. Due to cellular differences, Superman’s body is like a solar collector, allowing him to absorb
and convert solar energy in a variety of ways. Superman’s powers are as follows:
  • True Invulnerability: UN (100) to physical/Energy  Invulnerability: Cl 1000 to Radiation, Terrestrial Disease, Corrosives, Toxins, Heat, Cold
  • Hyper Speed: AM (50)
  • Hyper Intake/Expulsion: AM (50) Super cool breath
  • Heat Vision: UN (100) rank with 10 area range
  • True Flight: UN (100) in Atmosphere, Cl 1000 in space
  • Solar Regeneration: Superman is capable of regenerating through simple exposure to sunlight
  • Hyper Hearing: SHX (150)
  • Telescopic Vision: SHX (150)
  • Microscopic Vision: SHX (150)
  • Penetration Vision: SHX (150)
Contacts:
Superman has a variety of contacts throughout Earth's governments and most superheroes on Earth. In addition, Superman has various contacts throughout the 28 known galaxies and beyond. By the 30th century, Superman has achieved almost mythic status, and has several contacts there as well.


Limitations:
  • Kryptonite: Kryptonite causes his body's cells to deteriorate, similar to radiation poisoning in a human being. Exposure to Kryptonite causes Superman to lose all his powers at -1CS per round. He also loses 1 rank of Strength and Endurance (with its loss of Health) per round until death occurs at Shift-0 Endurance. Removal of the Kryptonite enables Superman's body to regain lost ranks at a rate of one per round.
  • Magic: Superman also has a vulnerability to magic attacks and the effects of magic. Magical attacks directly effect Superman ignoring any resistances or invulnerability. Further more any magical effect is increased +1CS in rank and duration against Superman.
  • Atmospheric Need: Superman needs an Earth like atmosphere to breath in. His Endurance enables him to last for extended period without holding his breath, but in space he will eventually need a space suit. His greater constitution (Endurance) provides little need for sleep, however eventually he will tire and require rest. 
  • Solar Dependant: Superman's powers are based on solar radiation from Earth's yellow sun. Should he be deprived of this radiation for an extended period he will loose all his powers.
