Character Creation Challenge - 10: Törn den Andre [Mörk Borg]

 First Mörk Borg Character of this Challenge [6th Total?]

I needed some Mörk Borg in my veins after the fiddly Vampire character creation. Mörg Borg fixes what ails you?


Character Summary

Törn den Andre [Wretched Royalty]

Stats

  • Agility: +0
  • Presence: +1
  • Strength: -1
  • Toughness: +0
  • Hit Points: 2
  • Omens: 1
  • Abilities: The Snake-Skin Gift, Horn of the Schleswig Lords.

Equipment

  • Bow (11 arrows)
  • Medium Armor
  • Small Wagon
  • 5 Torches
  • Lard (May function as 5 meals in a pinch)

Characteristics

  • Things were going so well, until: King Fathmu IX's brother Zigmund, your father, was murdered.
  • Terrible Traits: Bitter & Cowardly
  • Broken Bodies: Cataract slowly but surely spreading in both eyes.
  • Bad Habit: You pick your nose so deep it bleeds.
  • Troubling Tales: Your flesh heals twice as fast, but your companions twice as slow. You see a many-eyed "guardian angel".
     

In Play

Cowardly noble with a bow and poisoned dagger that has 2 HP. Add a bit of snob and panic in the voice, and let everyone else go first. As per usual, the Mörk Borg character plays itself :)

Estimated Survival Rate: Decent to Low. With Medium Armor and hang at the back, has a decent chance to survive being hit..once. With one Getting Better roll would be a lot better, since the healing thing would actually be worth anything.


Opinion

Making a Mörk Borg character takes like 5-10 minutes, and comes with all the stuff so without fail I know how I want to play it. Lots of things to say about the book and how the game works as oneshots compared to campaigns - but the most genius thing about it is the character generation I would say.

I'm not sure I have even made a Mörk Character I wouldn't like to at least try to play...

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...
