Terrible Traits: Endlessly Aggrevated & Prone to Substance Abuse. Broken Bodies: Broken, crushed ears. Bad habit: Unable to get to the point. Have never actually finished a story. Troubling Tales: At permanent war with all corvids. No contact without some violence. You carry a sling. I am not sure this is a good character or not. Being unable to get to the point comes naturally to me, adding being drunk or high and pissy while not talking about something should be easy. It's actually unsettling that the guy is mean to birds, has an invisibilty scr...

Character Creation Challenge 2023 - 2: Börda

 Mörk Borg, the second.

Terrible Traits: Inferiority Complex, Cruel. Broken Bodies: Decaying Teeth. Bad habit: You giggle insanely at the worst possible times. Troubling Tales: An identity thief who recently killed and replaced this person.    Peculiar choice of identity to steal... The mix of inferiority complex, cruel and giggling at the worst possible times kinda plays off itself. Try to avoid responsibility and attention, and just make a mess every time it happens. Mumble and be timid, except when doing some petty cruelty....

Character Creation Challenge 2023 - 1: Törn [Mörk Borg]

 I am now 17 days late to the party, instead of being an eager beaver. So time to grind out some Mörk Borg characters! Will go through the classes in order, and finish with a classless. Starting with the first one in the core book: The Fanged Deserter.

Terrible Traits: Cruel, Cowardly. Broken Bodies: Staring, manic eyes. Bad habit: You stutter when lying. Troubling Tales: You think waving trees are whispering.You talk to, scream at, attack trees. "This is an odd one" will just be every Mörk Borg character, and as such will be a given going forward. Very easy to play like a madman outside combat, an...

Character Creation Challenge 2023: The Plan

 I did horrible in last year's challenge. Time to see if I can do better this year! No advanced schedule and stuff this year. Taking a page off the dungeon room challenge, and doing some lazy stuff this time. So plan is twofold: I want to make at least one character for each of the four systems I want to have run or played in by year's end, if I have time that day I will make one for one of these systems: Runequest Glorantha Mutant Hindenburg Coriolis Alien If I don't find the time, I will make a character for some easy game, like Mörk Borg. Perhaps that will make things a bit easier than last time! I will start a day late with actual character creation though, so will have a worse start than last year. Good luck to me!
