Character Creation

Alright fixed it up dropping the strength. I will keep Old Soul at 5 because, its the maximum number of times it can be taken and that would make him DeFacto the oldest immortal.

Which is pretty funny considering he doesn't even know he's super powered. Gives you all sorts of fun ways to add qualities and drawbacks. Like maybe he's made an enemy, maybe he's a secret billionaire. The possibilities are endless.

Please Note: I will spend the 10 drawback points 7 on increasing Strength and 3 to Increase intelligence.

Sorry guys, this week at work has been very weird (and Unfortunatly in some cases draining). Hope to work on char over weekend.

Mostly know what I'm doing with her. The main question atm is wolf with more focus on qualities to aid investigation etc, or bear who will be more useful in a fight.

@LoM: Either character sounds really interesting. A Werewolf detective or a brawler Were-Bear would be useful and cool. Do you have personalities attached to them yet?

They're mostly the same, it's just whether bear or wolf. She's basically a bounty hunter who takes contracts from the alliance and maybe other groups.. Maybe a bit grumpy but loves the rest of the party really as sort of personality.

Nice concept! Have you settled on a Reconciled or Born Feral? You could do an Accursed Feral, but I would strongly recommend against it.

Being set in wartime, there will be a decent amount of combat, but I'm going to include a hefty amount of investigation also, so either wolf or bear can work.

Coincidentally, I rewatched the show last year. It's painfully '90s, especially the fashion (power suits, blowouts, and open shirts with man cleavage). It can be campy at times, but overall it 's a great show. I even tried to start a Highlander pbp game several months ago, and using this same system, but couldn't quite wrangle up enough players. Might still try to run it again in the future.

Let me look it over tonight and I'll get back to you.

Sign me up with the same character. I love the narrative and would love to play the mentor role.

Just my weigh in on the subject. In no way a recommendation but a fun bit of historical knowledge.

Ulfheddin (wolf men) and Berserkers (bear shirts) are not mutually exclusive. Ulfheddin were Odins shamans berserks were any skilled enough warrior to kill a bear. Both equally badass.

They are very much mutually exclusive here as I'm talking about her feral form and she can only have one :P The difference is is Wolf is cheaper (22) so more points can go into qualities. Bear wrecks house (Has bigger stat boosts) but is relatively expensive (29).

Plus likely leaning more detective noir or similar as bounty hunter and away from norse, while other concepts were norse, as q few others are dipping toes in there, so diversity among the group.

Sorry guys again. For those who don't know I work at a school and its just be.. a nightmare the last week or so. I have decided what type of Feral she is, and how she does stuff but you'll have to wait and find out. Sheets mostly put together, just need to finalise some last point spending and qualities, then she's good to go.

Finally got her up and ready! Nearly got distracted by one of my favourite songs and wanted to base a character of it (Angel with a Shotgun) but hey thats a back up right? :P

And there was much rejoicing.

Thanks LightOfMidnight. We are mostly ready to go, then. My plan is to hopefully get the game up and running by the begining of next week.

Some point before then, I'll do a brief crash course about the Unisystem for those who have never played it.

@LightOfMidnight and Equinox, I've looked over your characters and they are good to go. Great job!

Squadfather has decided to bow out of the game, which means that the group has been finalized. We have two Inheritors, a True Immortal, a Feral, and a human scientist. I'll begin getting to work on the first post.

In the meantime, feel free to discuss how your characters might previously know each other, if at all. Do some of you have friendships or longstanding work relationships with one another?

The premise for this game will be that the PCs function as a team working for the Alliance. You will most likely be based out of North America or Europe, though assignments could take you anywhere. Whether you are members of the Alliance or not, your services are being utilized for the war effort. For non-members, consider why your character has chosen to partake in this group.

I'm thinking of including a soldier NPC into your team who functions as a coordinator - the Rick Flag to your Suicide Squad, so to speak. Being that most of you are supernatural beings, you'll have something of an elite status in Alliance operations.

*tries desperately not to associate the Initals R.F. with Satan*

The Dark Tower has ruined my brain.

Shame about Squadfather, but the cast looks good.

Rylani while not officially a member of the Alliance, not liking to be tied down to any one person or group, is likely at least a semi-familiar face to those who go after specific Leviathan targets, as if the price is high enough the bounty hunter is likely also after them. She is also not opposed to accepting money to go on a non bounty mission, likely why she has agreed to be a part of the current group, her skills being needed. While she gives off an attitude of sticking to herself and just caring about the job, those who have worked with her more than once or twice will realise she's more caring than she lets on. Just don't call her out on it.

Happy for her to have worked a few missions, or keep having accidentally bumped in some of the other character enough to form a working relationship, if not friendship.

I think a military NPC "handler" is a great idea. Considering the ensemble cast of characters are mostly oddballs and weirdos (no offense ;) we'd definitely need a 'straight man' to herd all the cats in the same direction and present a legitimate face to the military brass.

@LI: I have 5-6 points of Qualities left, would Resources or Contacts be a good use for those or is there another Quality I'm overlooking? Other than that, the doctor's character is finished.

Vidar probably just thinks he's there for scientific reasons. As he has no idea that he's an immortal. I kind of like the notion that he's never experienced anything metaphysical in his current life and is just attracted to a life of danger because of his nature.
