All the screaming fangirls he gets and you only give him a CHA 4?

Well, he was a bit moody. Besides, CHR doesn't really reflect your looks. Maybe he just has the "Good Looking and Knows It" edge.

I probably would have traded a point from strength and put it into quickness and made his Athletics take priority over Stealth. Lets see you climb up a battle oliphant or run accross a chain.

He also needs two swords Or two Cougar Fineblades (large) and heapin' dose of ambidexterity.

And Enhanced Sense: Vision Mag.

And Magic Sense.

And some reflex enhacement.

And Chewbacca is soooo a Sasquatch.

Somewhere, hidden deep within a 3-ring binder, I have SRun stats for the characters from the La Femme Nikita television series.

A friend and I were joking around and well, we watch the Disney cartoon, 'Kim Possible'.
We were joking about making characters after Kim, Ron, their computer friend, Shego and Lord Monkeyfist. It's oh so wrong.

I have the stats of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen floating around somewhere...

Sigh. Umpteen zillion threads on Wolverine as a PC floating around, and no one got the sarcasm.

The Legalas one was good, but you have to give him Traceless Walk, to simulate his walking on top of snow thing.


How about the Lupin the Third gang?

Goemon: adept with a dikoted katana weapon focus, improved ability in edged weapons and athletics.

Jiggins: adept, tough, with good unarmed combat skills, and high improved ability in pistols.

Fujiko: face with a very wide range of skills in the areas of tech, stealth, and combat. The easiest to make in SR terms, but probably the hardest to play, since her effectiveness mostly depends on her cunning.

Lupin: adept with improved stealth and athletics. Has Edges like Double-Jointed and Daredevil. Also high skills in disguise, lockpicking, etc.

As starting characters, they would probably take at least a few hundred Karma to get to the level they are in the TV episodes/movies. And you couldn't recreate Goemon's insane feats with the katana without special house rules.

Ahhh, Lupin! Gawd, I love that one movie, Castle of Cagliastro.... oh however it's spelled. Those european ninjas in armor are scary!

And I just love it how Jiggins in that movie switched his pistols to a large rifle with at least APDS ammo.

Don't forget to give Lupin a VERY high skill in drive!

Max Payne, Adept.

Body: 6 (It isn't the damage, it's the pain that kills him)
Quickness: 7 (Exceptional Attribute, for the shoot-dodge)
Strength: 4 (He can jump pretty high)
Charisma: 5 (Hell, he made ME like the bad dialogue)
Intelligence: 4 (He's smart, but gets hoodwinked a lot.)
Willpower: 6 (He will NOT die...)

Edges:
Ambidexterity 8, Toughness, Daredevil

Flaws:
Hunted, Compulsion (Revenge on everyone and their kids, their pets, their kids' friends...), Combat Monster

Adept Powers:
Combat Sense 2
Improved Pistols, 4 dice.
Pain Resistance: A whole bloody lot.

Physical Skills:
Pistols: 6
A. Rifles: 6
SMGs: 6
Shotguns: 6
Athletics: 4 (Couldn't keep the bastard on those blood trails, dammit!)
Stealth: 1 (Occasionally, people might not notice you at an incredibly long distance)
Intimidation: 3

Knowledges:
Purple Prose: 8 (It takes talent to make dialogue THAT bad that I love so much..)
Noir Cliches: 5
Looking Cool: 4
Underworld Politics: 5
Criminal Organizations: 4
Drug-Induced Realizations: 2 (He figured out he was in a game... that deserves a skill unto itself)

I'd put Body and Willpower in the 9-10 range. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who can take that many bullets and not even fall over. Hell, he fell something like 10 stories in a night, got blown up, and got shot in the head— and still kept going.

You'd need to give Chewy a speech impediment anyway. Sure, its from one of the novels, but it was a characteristic I always liked -- people had trouble understanding him not because he spoke Wookie, but because of his speech impediment while doing so.

It wasn't Chewey that had the speech impediment, it was their guide from the Wookie home planet that had a speech impeditment that made it easier for him to speak English. I believe it's in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. (Hey, I used to work in a bookstore and had a lot of spare time! Think this is bad, ask me a Harry Potter question...)

Ohh, speaking of which...Harry Potter. Sorcery adept who took a Deadly wound and geased off the lost magic point by using a wand for EVERYTHING.

The Abstruse One

Also Flaw: Impulsive and Hunted.

I keep waiting for someone to do some magic without those wands. Or for the series to pull an X-Men and have the mundane SAS raid Hogwarts and overrun the so-called "superior" magicusers.

I just said good unarmed combat skill - I only said Improved Ability for the guns. I would say he has good unarmed combat skill, and is pretty strong as well. Nothing too superhuman, though.


Zenigata is tough - he can take a lot of abuse. High Body for sure. He is only a comic figure because he is going up against Lupin. He has a high athletics skill and several high vehicle skills, just to keep up with Lupin. He is proficient enough with throwing that he can use handcuffs like a bola, making called shots to the wrist. He is perceptive, and often comes the closest to figuring out one of Lupin's schemes, but he is also obsessive and paranoid about Lupin. Very low Charisma - even with official documentation, he still usually manages to rub the local authorities the wrong way within a few seconds of their initial meeting. High Intelligence, though, with skills in disguise and setting traps and ambushes. You could easily make him an adept (to simulate some of his aptitudes), but his points would be spread on a much wider range than Jigen or Goemon, who are very focused.

It'd be cooler if he could make the cuffs act like a bolo.

Ender Wiggin doesnt necessarily have an Int above 6.

Just Empathy, Military Tactics, Military Theory, and Comparative Psychology skills and the Animal Empathy edge.

What? No Buffy, Angel, Spike, and the rest of the Scoobies?

How about Hunter Rose and Grendel?

hellboy. twisted path physical mage. all his adept powers are geased to "must not be evil", except for his magic power power (geh, awkward much?), which is geased to "must be evil".

Has anyone read Legacy of Heorot or Beowulf's Children by Niven? The grendels would make excellent adversaries. Maybe something a Mega is working on that gets loos in the compound.

Or, for a very variant campaign setting, the Posleen invasion by John Ringo. Starts with A Hymn before Battle.

A Hymn Before Battle is good, but the latter ones is where it really gets interesting. The alien invasion of Earth itself! Street to street fighting and the frantic running and gunning against the alien horde....

The best characters to make are from some of the stupidest movies.

Happy Gilmore -- Ultimate Golf Physad with an odd form of Missile Mastery.

The Animal -- Shamanic Physad Heightened Animal senses. Increased athletics in and out of bed.

The WaterBoy -- ( I barely remember this movie but an adept I guess)

Duce Biggalo Male Jiggalo -- Face. With the Friendly personality edge.

Zoolander -- I haven't a clue what to classify him

Shaolin Soccer Team -- That movie was too awesome.

Universal Soldier -- Non Cyberware Cyberzombies?

Versus: main character is clearly a physad of some variety. Gotta love that Amnesia flaw, too.

~J

No, the geas would be "Condition: Must visualize someone who's made fun of you." The Impulsive flaw would be to attack anyone who insults his mother.

Daniel Bateman: Adept w/ geasa to attack people in any red colored shirt, and another geasa for getting pep talk from his coach.

Coach: Get me the ball.
Bateman: Get you the ball.
Coach: I need you to get me the ball.
Bateman: I'm gonna get you the ball! (Mild yelling)
Coach: I need you to get me the ball! (yelling)
Bateman: I'm gonna get you the ball!!! (screaming and growling)
after Bateman takes the field: God I how he doesn't kill anybody.

After bring the ball back and standing next to his coach
Coach: go sit down now Danny.
Bateman: okay.

Hahahah Yea Daniel Bateman That was a good movie too. To bad I don't remember what movie it was from.

and Yea that sounds about right for the WaterBoy I had to watch it the other day to remember it.

Oh and who could forget John 5. an AI trapped in a drone body. With various dodads and knicknacks and a big pacifist flaw.

Another Stupid movie to put on the list.

Naked Gun. Amazingly dumb LoneStar cop, that somehow has the moxie to make it work.


Oh and Just recently I saw 50 First dates with a female friend of mine.
And I thought of Momento as well.

While watching it I got the idea in my head of a massive -5 and -10 point flaw.

5 point flaw
Long Term Memory impairment Duration 24 hours. Everything done in the past 24 hours is completely forgotten when the afflicted falls asleep.

10 point flaw
Short term Memory Imparement. You remember something only for as long as you keep it active in your head. Repeating a phonenumber over and over so you don't forget. But stop once, and it's gone.


Both infer the problem of not knowing if any of your mental or physical skills have improved. You roll your 'known' amount of dice. The GM rolls additonal if any. And there you go

Remo Williams

Chun

Michael Corbin

Harley Stone

Stewie Griffin

I'm a little surprised that nobody has brought up anyone from Trigun, Cowboy BeBop, and similar shows.

I was thinking the same about Vash and Spike, but as with John Preston, you'd either have a starting SR character that doesn't even BEGIN to reflect the "real" characters or you'd have SR characters that are so amazingly MIGHTY, that there's nothing they couldn't do.

I don't see the bad or cursed karma flaws on Spike, though. Aside from the... um... unpleasantness between him and the Syndicate before he went aboard the BeBop, he's an extraordinarily lucky guy.

Probably adding the cursed and the bad karma flaws on the idea of how often the BeeBop's crew gets screwed out of being paid. Do all of the work get none of the money sort of deal. Shitake mushrooms on ice, Shitake stir fry,.....

I love that episode.

That just means their GM focuses more on Karma and not on cash awards
