Character Creation Challenge 6: Daeru (Mörk Borg)

 After a bit of a timegap, here's the start of the second set of character. This time for the game Mörk Borg. Since most of it is random and there isn't much fluff, I am just doing this to see what I generate up.


For the first character, I will simply do it by doing the pure RNG baseline way - no classes. And do it step by step as presented by the book.


Step 1: Starting Equipment

Silver: 70

Waterskin

Food: 1

Presence +4 Torches

Heavy Chain (15 ft)

Not that lucky with starting equpiment, but torches + heavy chain makes me think of someone like a prison guard or some kinda bounty hunter, just to get the character traits idea rolling.


Step 2: Starting Weapon & Armor

Bow (with Presence +10 arrows)

Heavy Armor

Fairly lucky I suppose, if a bit of a weird combo. Looted a nobleman or something during a job? Or is the character nobility perhaps...


Step 3: Roll abilities

Since this is a classless character, I could roll 4d6 and drop lowest for two stats. I chose Presence and Toughness for those.

Agility: 10 (+0)

Presence: 10 (+0)

Strength: 10 (+0)

Toughness: 10 (+0)

Yatzee! Glad I never rolled like this for something I was actually gonna play. Doesn't give me any ideas for the personality.


Step 4: Hit Points

Hit Points: 4

Less than average, but with the armor on top it means the character should be able to to take one blow at least. Unless it's a monster or something.


Step 5: Name

Daeru.

Not the best clinging name, but I'll take it.


 Step 6: Optional

Omens: 1

Terrible Trait: Egocentric

Terrible Bodies: Corpulent, ravenous, drooling

Bad habit: Obsessively Collect Small Stones

Troubling Tales: Your flesh heals twice as fast, but your companions heals twice as slow. You see a many-eyed "Guardian Angel".

Ok, so that sorta fortified the character as a noble, perhaps inbred. Those optional traits really tells a tale. Possibly the best thing about the book.


Summary

Daeru [Classless]

 

Stats

Agility +0

Presence +0

Strength +0

Toughness +0

HP: 4

Omens: 1


Equipment

Bow (d6) [10 arrows]

Heavy Armor

Silver: 70

Waterskin

Food: 1

4 Torches

Heavy Chain (15 ft)


Characteristics

Terrible Trait: Egocentric

Terrible Bodies: Corpulent, ravenous, drooling

Bad habit: Obsessively Collect Small Stones

Troubling Tales: Your flesh heals twice as fast, but your companions heals twice as slow. You see a many-eyed "Guardian Angel".

 

I think this character came out pretty good. Stats are pretty boring, but between the starting gear and the characteristics I have a fairly strong idea about what the character is like and could play him out of the gate. Good first impression of char gen in the system.

Walking into the fog

This blog was made to have somewhere to put up characters for the challenge set up by TardisCaptain for january 2022, creating 31 characters for the 31 days of january. Link:  http://tardiscaptain.com/2021/11/19/2022-character-creation-challenge/  After looking at some entries into last year's challenge, it inspired me to want to create characters on paper instead of putting them on notepad or some kind of web service thingie. Sadly I can't sketch, or I would have tried to make a rough sketch of them too. I've not really been a player in game for something like 5 years now, I mostly GM. So this is going to be a bit of a change of pace.  My first thought is to make some "rival adventuring parties" for the systems I GM, and a character for systems I would like to play in games I do not GM. With the very typical backlog of games for someone who has been in the hobby since the 90s, I need to spend some time in december sorting out games and character sheets. Or I mi...

Character Creation Challenge 2024 - 9: Evren [Vampire: The Masquerade 5e]

 Second Vampire: The Masquerade 5e Character With the character I made to serve as a stand in character for someone that might show up to the Vampire campaign I am going to run this year out of the way, it's time to make some random stuff I could consider playing myself. 1. Core Concept  So one of the things I want to do going forward, is to set more and more of the quasi-real world settings in Constantinople/Istanbul and Ur. Since Vampire is a modern day game, it would be Istanbul. I have no chronicle planned and it's been a while since I read up on modern day Istanbul so I am VERY ignorant of details of what the current city is like. And as Vampire also often deals with darker things and gets all muddled up in politics muddled with the supernatural, this is not so easy to start with blind. Easy to turn to stereotypes. I am going to call the character Evren, whose Sire is Evrim. Big fan of the football club Galatasaray, and social life mostly revolving around matches and hang...
