Stats for Frankenstein's Monster

(1/3) > >>

JediDresden2:
My search-fu is lacking today. 

Does anyone know if someone has stated up the monster from Shelley's book?  If so please sent me a link, because I cannot find it in the forums.

If not can the community here help me stat it out?  In my game Dr Frankenstein has perfected his experiments and is still alive making an army of new Monsters, but the original Monster is still alive and working to thwart his efforts.  Yes Dr Frankenstein is the bad guy and the Monster is the hero of the story.

I am thinking Supernatural Strength and Toughness, probably some Recovery powers and the Living Dead power, anything else?  Oh and I need a Catch as well - I was thinking fire or cold (in the book he is afraid of fire and goes to the Arctic to die).  Or Lightning - but electricity is what brought him to life.  Maybe Holy?  Any ideas?

Taran:
I think fire as a Catch

I'm not sure about recovery...I don't remember him healing, Maybe put a limitation that only electricity lets him recover.
Toughness, for sure
Supernatural Strength
Living Dead
Maybe Hulking Size
I don't think cold would be a catch...he goes up there because there are no other humans for him to terrify.  It's the whole solitude/loneliness theme.

JediDresden2:
Thanks.  I was leaning toward Fire, but was not sure if that would be to common.

Sanctaphrax:
I don't think anyone's statted up the monster yet.

I'd be ready to help, but I don't actually know the source material very well.

Taran:
He's kind of a child so I'd go with low scholarship and lore but I Might and mid to high fists.  Mid to High Endurance and pretty good Empathy.  It's been a long time since I read it, though.

From Wikipedia:


--- Quote ---The Creature's narrative
Intelligent and articulate, the Creature relates his first days of life, living alone in the wilderness. He found that people were afraid of and hated him due to his appearance, which led him to fear and hide from them. While living in an abandoned structure connected to a cottage, he grew fond of the poor family living there and discreetly collected firewood for them, cleared snow away from their path, and performed other tasks to help them. Secretly living next to the cottage for months, the Creature learned to speak by listening to them and taught himself to read after discovering a lost satchel of books in the woods. When he saw his reflection in a pool, he realized his appearance was hideous, and it horrified him as much as it horrified normal humans. As he continued to learn of the family's plight, he grew increasingly attached to them, and eventually he approached the family in hopes of becoming their friend, entering the house while only the blind father was present. The two conversed, but on the return of the others, the rest of them were frightened. The blind man's son attacked him and the Creature fled the house. The next day, the family left their home out of fear that he would return. The Creature was enraged by the way he was treated and gave up hope of ever being accepted by humans. Although he hated his creator for abandoning him, he decided to travel to Geneva to find him because he believed that Victor was the only person with a responsibility to help him. On the journey, he rescued a child who had fallen into a river, but her father, believing that the Creature intended to harm them, shot him in the shoulder. The Creature then swore revenge against all humans. He travelled to Geneva using details from Victor's journal, murdered William, and framed Justine for the crime.

The Creature demands that Victor create a female companion like himself. He argues that as a living being, he has a right to happiness. The Creature promises that he and his mate will vanish into the South American wilderness, never to reappear, if Victor grants his request. Should Victor refuse, the Creature threatens to kill Victor's remaining friends and loved ones and not stop until he completely ruins him. Fearing for his family, Victor reluctantly agrees. The Creature says he will watch over Victor's progress.

Edit:  He strangles most of his victims so some kind of grappling power or just the Strength power seems appropriate.  Hulking Size is appropriate given the description that Viktor had to make him large because the 'minute details of the human body' were difficult to replicate/create.
