Witchdoctor's Character Info

Post your stuff here. Your character concept from Games Tavern is fine, but you can certainly tweak it.

Doppelganger
Shapeshifting Virtuoso 4
>>>The Master of Many Faces, Doppelganger can mimic the forms of other people (complete with clothing) and animals almost perfectly. Elephant? Sure! Moth? Of course! Greta Garbo or Groucho Marx? Who's askin'?
>>>The natural consequence of having had a turn at being hundreds of different people in twice as many roles, Doppelganger has picked up a bit of knowledge and know-how across a wide spectrum. He can convincingly imitate people from a wide range of jobs, from cultures all across the world and all walks of life. They could be anyone...even YOU!

Pulp Detective 3
>>>A P.I., a private dick, a gumshoe... If there's a clue to be found or a trail to be followed, Doppelganger is sure to solve the case.
>>> While Doppelganger has superpowers, at heart they're a two-fisted pulp hero. Prone to stealthy approaches and fist-fights on rickety scaffolding above acid vats. Hoodwinks and Double Crosses d'jour.

Biological Mastery 2
>>>Having a deep understanding of Shapeshifting has allowed Doppelganger to maximize the limits of the physical form they inhabit. Faster, stronger and tougher than they appear in most forms, Doppelganger is full of surprises.
>>>One of the handier abilities of Biological Mastery is an accelerated regenerative ability that allows healing (over time) from almost any injury and an extreme resistance to harmful chemicals and toxins.

Mean Streets 1
>>> Doppelganger is familiar with the layout of the city and privy to its secret ways and the culture of its underbelly.
>>>Need to get across town despite rush hour gridlock? There's an access way using old coal delivery tunnels. Need to find someone to repair that bootleg Betamax player? A guy over on Fifth can do it; lives right above a Korean noodle shop. Who runs prostitutes out near the docks? That'd be Anton Koralev, Bratva muscle who likes to gamble on the ponies.

Given Doppelganger'a power set, I'm trying to figure out how to post with different avatars depending on which form they're in when I post.

Approved, so you can RP, but I still have some questions.

Does he (it?) have a real name?

For "Mean Streets": the game starts in a small town, not a city, and the streets aren't that mean. However, I understand your meaning: that he's streetwise and well-informed about whatever location he's in. You don't have to change it, just making sure we're on the same page.

For avatars: you're more knowledgeable about this site than me, I'm sure, so lemme know if I need to click some buttons or something.

Maybe I can change the number of characters per player, so you all can post with your alter-egos and such?

Bumped characters per player to 4, as noted in the OOC Chatter message.

>>>Mean Streets is a slang term that kinda went along with the pulp Detective schtick but yeah, it's basically Streetwise and a bit of Area Knowledge of the setting.

>>>As far as a 'base identity' for Doppelganger, no. They're a bit loose in the personal identity area and wear shapes/faces like people wear clothes. As a bit of a shortcut, they display purple as a feature of their form just so the teammates/roommates know who they're dealing with.

>>>I think I've got a handle on how to do multiple avatars (with some expert assistance.)

>>>Also, I'm guessing that our punk landlord might just assume that there's a rotating 'extra renter' that lives downstairs since he sees a few different standard faces coming and going. I doubt he'd care as long as the rent comes in on time.

I submitted a character sheet so I can change avatars. I'll post in once it gets approved.

Approved it.
Works for me!
My thinking is that Jimmy knows the basics of everyone's powers and goals. He's a wild man, but he still had a conversation with everyone before renting to you all.

You may be able to confuse/trick him, of course, especially if you don't use your standard purple indicator.
