I thought it might be interesting to have a "stockpile" of original character templates for us GM's to share and make life easier in general (well not for our players, eh?). I suppose it would be best to make them in "non-munchkin" archetype format for greater flexibility - but more detail is always better, right?

Inquisitor of the Roman Catholic Church

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

An Inquisitor of the Roman Catholic Church is a figure obscured by the mists of legend, history, terror, and awe. To the Faithful he is a symbol of everything they seek to preserve; to nonbelievers he is embodiment of the Church's deadliest zealotry. In some ways surprising, and others not, the Inquisitor often finds himself mired in the darkness of the Shadows; seeking to carryout the will of his superiors and the Lord through means megacorps and governments silently employ. It is during these times that he is most dangerous: for he knows that all the regrettable deceit and sins he must commit will be forgiven so long he never strays from the path of God.

Skilled Vagrant

"All people are born, and all people eventually die, but not everyone truly lives. Only those willing to experience everything life can offer or die trying in the attempt, can make that claim. I've seen and become skilled in many wondrous things, yet barely scratched the surface of what I'm truly capable of."

Fanatically amazed by the wonders of the Sixth World, the Skilled Vagrant devotes her time into experience everything life can possibly offer, and inevitably her encompassing pursuits lead into illegal activities such as Shadowrunning. There's almost nothing she cannot reasonably perform without a small margin of experience, although her ironically fleeting dedication towards specialization makes potential contributions average at best. Nonetheless, her simple presence provides a measure of insurance that no unexpected surprise will remain as such; so long her overwhelming curiosity of something new doesn't get anyone killed first.

Wow...the Archetype of an Inquisitor brings up flashbacks of Mel Brookes in History of the World.....the Inquisition what a show

Keep 'em coming. I have a SR3 demo game I'm running at my FLAGS later this month.

I'll post my characters later.

Note:
These are actually just a simplified (in terms of scope) version character I'm playing right now, so the flowery language is kept to a minimal.

Gunslinger
The last remnant of the true cowboy, this un-cybered speed demon is a master of pistols. Although they have raised the use of the handgun to an artform, they prefer to glimpse the world with their own eyes; they dislike simsense and are very vulnterable to ASIST damage. A gunslinger can shoot a rifle and barroom brawl with the best, but he is, first and foremonst, the authority on killing people very, very fast with a pistol.

Character portrait (yoinked from sketch collection of Kitsune, the author of a SR webcomic):

What I'm wondering is, why does the Inquisitor have so many combat spells, and no Mindprobe?

The Inquisitor probbably prefers torturing people until they admit to bizzare and crazy things, and then burning them at the stake.
(Can anyone say "Auto da fe"?)
