Request A Character

[Ghostfreak]

How would you go about building a modern day Kirito; inspired from the anime sword art online.

[Sanctaphrax]

I don't know who that is.

[khadgar4606]

I don't know who that is.

then basicly dont bother building it since he is vanilla mortal with kenjutsu training and extreme hand eye coordination while in computer games

[Taran]

You could do him with limitation or human form.  His regular persona out of the game and his in-game persona with all the superpowers.  But since he never leaves the game...

On the other hand, it would be cool to have a character that can only use his powers in the Nevernever.  He’s a master swordsman with piles of influence in the nevernever but just a regular dude in the real world

[Ghostfreak]

I would definitely like to see the character Asta from the manga Black Clover is fleshed out in the dresden file system.

[Sanctaphrax]

Never heard of her. Or him.

Incidentally, g33k, I'm still willing to make Donatien.

[Ghostfreak]

Well when your free with the other character; I would like to see a Spider-man build that one can take into a dresden files game. I came across a few across the boards but they seem so...meh. I know you would be able to get it done because when your building a character; you get the details and abilities right the first time and you are very accurate. Hope you are doing well sir and can't wait to see what you have cooked up.


I tried my hand at building spider-man but it just wasn't good enough. Definitely he would not be a character for a low refresh game since most of his goodies are a tad expensive and I don't know what stunts to give him.

[Sanctaphrax]

Kind of you to say so.

This is meant to represent a sort of composite Spider-Man, drawn from no continuity in particular. Or perhaps from every continuity, if you'd rather see it that way.

The were two parts of this that I found tricky. Aspects and the spider-sense. Aspects were hard because Spider-Man has a lot going on; I think these Aspects do a decent job of capturing him, but they could definitely be better.

As for the spider-sense, there's just too many different ways to do it. A Supernatural Sense would work, Precognition would work, a couple of Stunts would work. Fortunately most of the options cost 2 Refresh, so I can leave it up to whoever ends up using these (if anyone does).

Considered giving him some Stunts (maybe Provoke) and/or the Superhuman Acrobatics Power, but I ran out of Refresh. And anyway he doesn't really need them. That being said, this is a fairly low-powered interpretation of Spider-Man; you could definitely add more Refresh and more skill points without making him unfaithful to his source material.

I could've given him a Catch; in fact, the RAW say I should. But I'm not sure if anything really fits. I guess I could go with sickness, since he's been incapacitated by normal colds and the like before, but...eh.

This is very well done, could not have done it better myself. This is a huge help!

[Con]

Jack Frost and Peter Pan as Princes of Winter and Summer Fae respectively.

[Sanctaphrax]

What's a Prince, in this context?

[Con]

Powerful member of the court with their own subarea of control and power, roughly equivelent of a Duke.
I imagine their purpose is to protect children in one form or another. Jack Frost would be a noble, of Kringle's. Abilities would be flight, Ice magic, maybe a powerful artifact in his Crook of Winter.

Peter Pan would be a Prince of the Fairies   like Tinkerbell and purpose would be to protect Changelings of the Fae, and give them a way out of choosing by keeping them young.  Abilities would be flight, swordmenship, magic of the Summer, or Spring.

[Sanctaphrax]

These were surprisingly hard. Not sure why, exactly.

Peter Pan (In A Submarine)

Peter Pan is the same irresponsible perma-child as he is everywhere. But he's got an important job, taking care of Summer's Changelings. He's not too happy about that, and tries to avoid doing any work. The one thing he reliably does is allowing male Changelings to join his Lost Boys. Lost Boys stay young forever, delaying their Choice indefinitely. Girls can sometimes join and sometimes can't, depending on his mood and whether he thinks they're icky at the moment.

He's also the patron of pixies, which works nicely because he has no interest in bossing them around and they have no interest in being bossed around by him.

Jack Frost (In A Submarine)

Jack Frost, like Peter Pan, appears to be a child. But in his case it's just an appearance. His mind is ancient, possibly older than Winter as a whole. He was originally an independent spirit of winter, and joined Winter millenia ago under unclear circumstances. He's been placed under Kringle's jurisdiction, which he doesn't much like. He'd rather be his own boss.

His Crook is a creation of Mother Winter's. She made it for Jack when he joined Winter, and so long as it is in his possession he is bound to the Court. It carries mercilessness within itself, and simply carrying it makes Jack Frost noticeably less kind. He's still far from cruel, though, and retains his soft spot for actual children.

Technically the Crook breaks one of the rules for a focus item, but nobody cares about that rule anyway.

Trouble Aspect: At Kringle's Disposal

I love It! Thanks Sanctaphrax.

A 5e thread was trying to stat out Conan the Barbarian.  Have you done him yet?

Adventured into his 60s
Never encountered a man stronger than himself
Was an excellent leader?
An Wilderness Survivalist
Killed two Frost Giants by himself.
Good at climbing and sneaking and sometimes compared to a cat

I think he might be a Pure Mortal

This is a quote from the other thread:

Also there's a sweet Athletics contest in Shadows in Zamboula where Baal-Pteor the strangler is trying to strangle Conan (and nearly does so) but Conan snaps Baal-Pteor's neck first. Saying that you aren't a man in Cimmeria until you can snap a bullocks neck with your bare hands.

Cimmeria sounds like the kind of place where if you didn't role good stats, you don't survive.
