As Many Templates as I Could Fit on One Character...
« on: May 09, 2010, 02:58:43 AM »
I grew curious about how many templates I could logistically fit on a single character at submerged.  I believe it may be possible to throw on another... perhaps with an Item of Power instead of one of my -2 refresh templates?  Regardless, I found this a funny exercise.  Even if no GM worth their salt should EVER allow this for real.


Name: Thor Badass McAwesome

High Concept: Half-Troll Red Court Infected Kinetomancer Raith Virgin Emissary of the Cruel Fates

Trouble: Everyone wants (and has!) a piece of me!

Background, in which Thor is conceived: Aspect "My White-Court Mother Loved a Troll"

Rising Conflict, in which Thor is turned half-Red and is offered by the White Court to the Cruel Fates as a sign of friendship (and censure of him for allowing himself to be turned half-red): Aspect "Better Red than Dead, But Better Dead than a Slave to the Fates"

First Novel, Pick Your Poison, in which Thor becomes the center of a four-way power struggle between the Summer Court, the Red Court, The White Court, and the little-known Court Court (allies of the Fates): Aspect "YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL." 
Thor also changes his last name from "Raith" to "McAwesome" in this phase.  A change, I feel, for the better.

Guest Novel, in which Thor does something badass: Aspect "My Middle Name is Badass!"

Guest Novel, in which Thor helps a pretty girl: "...but I'm still a sensitive, caring man who can only accidentally kill you about five different ways while weeping Cassandra's Tears."

Powers:
Inhuman Strength (-2)
Channelling (Spirit, -2)
Cassandra's Tears (+0)
Emotional Vampire (-1)
Incite Emotion (Lust, -1)
Marked By Power (-1)
Addictive Saliva (-1)
Blood Drinker (-1)
Feeding Dependency (+1)
Inhuman Recovery (-2) with the catch being Sunlight, holy stuff, his belly, and unawesomeness (+1)

Total Refresh = 1 (submerged power level)

Skills:

Great (+4): Discipline, Deceit, Contacts
Good (+3): Fists, Conviction, Lore
Fair (+2): Alertness, Athletics, Investigation, Endurance
Average (+1): Driving, Empathy, Guns, Might, Scholarship, Stealth

Templates Used: Changeling, Emissary of Power, Focused Practitioner, Minor Talent, Red Court Infected, White Court Virgin

So. Anyone want to take up Thor?  Perhaps in a less... serious... game.

That's pretty creative.  I'm guessing you made up the Red Court and the Court-Court. ???  If so, maybe you can give us some background.

The Red Court are one of the courts of vampires.

Fantastic write-up. Though surely someone so awesome would have at least one skill at Superb?  ;D

It happens to use all Knightgoblin  :P

And good work, I had been wondering just how many templates you could fit on a character but hadn't tried to do it myself! Would be so confusing to play as though!

Confusing to PLAY as?  Imagine what it must be like for poor Thor!  That's precisely why his Trouble is what it is.   ;D
