Justin OOC Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Ok, I've been thinking about doing this. It is in no way related to Nexus Earth, and will be much shorter. If there's no interest I won't worry.This game will be darker, grittier and much more real life based. You will effectively be normal people who happen to get some sort of special power, and have to deal with some really dark and sinister stuff.The premise is that the characters are students, perhaps one teacher at a highschool in Tokyo and have normal regular lives. This all changes when rumors of zombies, demons and other monsters start getting passed around the city. The Police and officials deny everything and cover it all up to keep the general populace from panicking. during the first few weeks where the rumors start your characters would each develop one special ability. Then a strange man gathers you together and informs you you have been chosen to become warriors in the fight to defend this world from the creatures beyond the Shadow.Character Creation225 pts-no dynamic powers-only powerflux creation, or skill flux will be allowed. -power flux will be allowed, but anything created will not be permanent.-only one special power will be allowed per character. *Things that do not count as special powers*ToughEnergy bonus Extra attack (limit 1)Extra defense (limit 1)Many of the options for Features.melee attackmelee defenseranged attackranged attackAttack combat masteryDefense combat MasteryCombat TechniqueMassive DamageWealthOrganizational tiesAura of InspirationDivine Releationship*All charcters recieve 5 free ranks of resistanceA further note, just to encourage diversity. I will provide each character with some form of archaic weapon, or modern item, (the player's choice) to help them deal with the supernatural enemies they'll be forced to deal with. Firearms in general are useless against the enmies here, save for buying time or pissing them off.As another note, I will not be using shock value for this game.

Dave ST Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 So, I whipped this up. Never made a BESM PC before, the template is a High School student and avid Kendo practitioner.Stats-Body: 5Mind: 3Soul: 6Total = 140Attributes-Combat Technique 9 (Blind Fighting, Critical Strike, Hardboiled, Judge Opponent, Leap Attack, Lightning Reflexes, Multiple Targets, Precise Aim, Two Weapons) +18Extra Actions 1 +15Features (Appearance) 3 +3 Weapon 10 (Accurate +3, Penetrating +3, Vampiric +4) +10Melee Attacks (Sword) 4 +12Melee Defence (Sword) 4 +12Skill: Acrobatics 2 +6Skill: Cultural Arts 3 +3Skill: Domestic Arts 2 +2Skill: Etiquette 2 +2Special Movement 1 (Zen Direction) +2Total = 105TOTAL : 225Defects = Girl/Guy Magnet -1Skeleton In The Closet -2Defects were 'free', meaning I didn't accept the +3 points for taking them, I thought they'd be better for RP than anything else.

Justin OOC Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 please, when you submit you character, submit your preferences for an archac weapon or modern item and what abilities you'd like to see it have.This doesn't guarantee it will have said powers, but merely gives me an idea on what you want.

Rorx Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hey Justin, any feedback on James?As for a weapon, go for a katana again, but given his power perhaps this one should have some defensive and/or healing/regen type powers rather than Inazuma's blasting/damage abilities.Presumably he can produce some minor normal weapons/armour/gear with his power?

Dave ST Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Okay, I think I have it figured out now... I re-read the rules so I'll whip something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Justin, my pdf of 3rd ed specifically states that he can create temp objects from thin air with the 12pt version. It goes on to say that they can be worth up to 2cp per level in Transmutation, so in his case 2cp! If you are using different rules thats fine, tell me what power he should have to do that, and if he can't afford the new one I'll find a new power for him.

Strange Ways Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is this game going to be more skill and RP heavy than combat, which would be different from your BESM:NE game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerie Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well, the other game has a fight every 2 or 3 months, so it's not like it's all fighting all the time. Probably gonna stick with the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Ways Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes, with a fight every two or three months. But when a game moves slowly to begin with 'every two or three months' lasting two weeks to a month becomes a lot. And I can't remember when I last saw a skill, other then 'soul' or 'body' checks come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerie Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 That's because we haven't been on a lot of skill based situations I guess. But then again, a lot of the skills are very very specific on setting, the issue here is that we all got real world skills and then got sent to space >_> Go figure why we never use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Ways Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Which still begs the answer to the question. Will skills be useful or will we be hurled into space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 There will be more real life situations in this, but there will be alot of combat. As I have stated in talks with my NE players, if you have the skill at a level I think is sufficent for the task, I require no roll. If it is below the value i think required I ask for a roll. Having skills means you get a sort of free hand doing things using them, provided your task doesn't get to extreme.There will be no trips to space in this. The Underworld perhaps... but not Space.

SalmonMax Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Looking at a "light-based" character...holy radiance. Healing and blasts...one of them via device.Personality is still evolving. I'm wavering between peppy and cheerful and completely optimistic...and naive/innocent, sheltered and even a bit sappy...More to come as I work it out.

Rorx Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Can do, Jim does a variety of martial arts, including a bit of Kendo, although obviously not as dedicated to it as Kaori.
