I haven't actually played them, but
The human skeletally displasiac dwarf poseur. The elf poseur Elvis shaman. The burned out blood mage who SURGED into a demonic form. The Troll Rat shaman-who has developed Rat's sense of self-preservation. The multiply initiated Adept (Athelete's Way) who goes on runs in a football uniform complete with helmet and pads. The Dragonslayer Shaman, who's currently gunning for Ghostwalker, Masaru, and Soņador. The Gunslinger Adept who carries around bananas in his/her holsters. |

It was legal under starting rules. Initiated three times with Spell Points bought with nuyen, combined with custom spells and Edge-boosted high mental stats to make a holy terror.. |

You can get really low by creating characters who try but fail to immitate 80s cartoon characters.
Mum-Ra the Everliving An infirm and physically disfigured magician who surrounds himself with vaguely Egyptian trappings. He augments his unimpresive physical abilities by channeling "Ancient spirits of Evil" which are neither ancient nor evil. He would be slightly less comical if not for the fact that geasa require him to run screaming back to his lair if he ever sees his reflection. Unlike his namesake this Mum-Ra is completly mortal and can easily be killed by any idiot with a gun. Copper Kid A human-looking Dwarf mime with 4 copper-colered cyberlimbs, a matching cybertorso and a cyberskull. He forgoes the classic physical pantomime and instead communicated with electronic whistles produced by a cyberimplant in his mouth. Copper Kid is an expert with throwing weapons, specializing in the discus. He has several throwing disks attached to his cyborg body. |

You know, if he were voodoo than his loa really could "transform this decayed form to Mumm-ra the everliving! WRAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa" |

How about a Dwarf Face who has surged so that he has an elongated snout and is covered in tan fur, has special dietery requirement: cats, a brutally sharp tounge, and the hunted flaw.....

I feel we are perhaps just one step away from this already, so I'll go ahead and burst the dam:
Shamanic Drop Bear paratrooper with dikoted Wombat ally spirit. :rollin: EDIT: No wait... Shamanic elf-poser Drop Bear paratrooper with dikoted Wombat ally spirit. And a BTL addiction. |

Yep, I remember him. Ironically, Cage Fight was a pretty long-running game, and Rat was actually pretty successful within that low-powered setting (well, low-powered other than Ehran the Scribe ;)). |

So I had an idea for a ghoul catholic priest... That might be awful enough...
There's a joke about transubstantiation in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it. |

One thing I've been wanting to do for a while is a magic user with no magic. A master of prestidigitation and ledgerdemain. While the awakening lead to a new age for mankind, for him it mostly just emptied seats. But being a con artist means never having to give up a wacky scheme. As such, he's decided to continue using his skills, this time in a slightly less legal venue.
High social and chemistry skills, quickness through the roof, perhaps a little cyber and bio to give him that edge, but ultimately a character with no chrome more obvious than a datajack, absolutely adamant that he is magically adept, but without the slightest trace of awakening ("I'm just an initiate with masking!") I'd love help making him, if anyone is up to the challenge :) |

We had a physad like that in a game I ran. He was called "The Amazing Goldfield" and was one of the best charicters I had ever seen. He had active and knowledge skills that backed up his profession and could sneak and shoot competently (plus thrown weapons mastery). One of his highlights was hideing a car in an 18 wheeler so that when a customs inspector opened the rear door, the container looked empty. |

What I will say here is when you ask for the worst I can think of expect to get it.

Nightcrawler doesn't eat people.
And ghouls aren't usually furry. |

Sahandrian, A.H.:
You could probably create Kurt "Nightcrawler" Wagner as a SURGED Night One Elf. (IIRC, there's a variant with dark-blue fur.) Of course, there'd have to be some method of explaining his OTHER unusual physical characteristics--namely his pointed tail, fangs, solid-yellow eyes without pupils or irises... I have NO idea how you'd account for his teleportational ability, though. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that there is a canonical teleportation ability in SR. I suppose a spell that would temporarily allow him to move faster than can be tracked by Metahuman senses and electronic means *might* work.) In the comics, he was the son of a mutant shapeshifter (Raven "Mystique" Darkholme) and an otherdimensional demon whose name escapes me. Edit: A.H.: Now that you mention it, I recall him saying something to the effect that his father was a mutant from Biblical times, or something of the sort. I'd forgotten it. --Foreigner This post has been edited by Foreigner: Jun 17 2006, 10:33 PM |

The "Demon" was actually another mutant.
Anyway, it's obvious. Nightcrawler is an acrobatics adept, skilled in fencing, and possesses the Fading faerie power that allows him to quickly move into another plane and then reappear in our own. The cloud is the result of his love of Saeder-Krupp "Brimstone" brand sausages, an unintentional byproduct everytime he uses his ability. |

Nah, he's just using the teleportation spell from the Xbox game... ... I'm going to Hell for that one, right? :P |
