Character Creation Challenge 2023: #30 = “QAGS”

Our next game for this business is QAGS. 

Step #1 is finding the concept. Since I did a superhero for the last business, I am going with go fantasy,  female elf wizard.

Step #2 is a name. I’m going with Aelita Azzara.

Step #3 is time to get the Yum Yum I need to buy stats for my PCs. I’m going 2,000 Points. The following are the three stats: Body, Brain, and Nerve. I start with Body -- and going to take 20 for that one. 2,000 - 20 = 1,980. I do 20 again for Brain. 1,980 - 20 = 1,960. The third verse is like the first verse -- as I’m taking 20 for Nerve as well. 1,960 - 20 = 1,940

Step #4 is her job -- which is a wizard. I’m going with 40 here -- and I need to times 40 by 2 to find out Yum Yum, I need to subject from 1,940 to buy 40 for Wizard’s number. 40 * 2 = 80. 1,940 - 80 = 1,860 

Step #5 is her Gimmick which I’m going with the following: Arcane Lore.

Step #6 is Weakness. I’m going with the following: Huge Ego.

Step #7 is getting the numbers for the Gimmick and Weakness. I’m going to stick to the basic 10 for them.

Step #8 is Skill. This costs 3 Yum Yums for +1 and adds 1 per addition +1. The following are the skills that I give my Aelita with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Acrobatics 1 (1,860 - 3 = 1,857)

• Acting 1 (1,857 - 3 = 1,854)

• Cooking 3 (Cost of 5. 1,854 - 5 = 1,849)

• Disguise 1 (1,849 - 3 = 1,846)

• Sewing 3 (Cost of 5. 1,846 - 5 = 1,841)

Step #8 is Health Points. That is equal to the Body stat. So Aelita’s total of health points is 20 because her Body stat is 20.

Step #9 is to place the leftover Yums Yums on the character sheet. That is 1,841 as that is how many Yum Yums I have left after buying the skills.

Step #10 is to pick an actor or actress to play the character. I’m going with Amy Jo Johnson a.k.a Kimberly Heart from “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.”

Step #11 is a tagline. I’m going with  the following: “What mess did you get me into this time?”

And with that Aelita is finished -- Aelita’s full stat is waiting for you after this paragraph.

Character Creation Business #28: QAS

 “Quick @$$ System” or “QAS” for short is a weird universal tabletop game. I need Mythic to help me find a genre. Question #1: Cyberpunk? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 31. Yes.

Step #1 is to get the Yum Yums for my character. Question #2: 100 Yums Yums? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 55. No. Question #3: More than 100 Yums Yums? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 37. Yes. Question #4: 110 Yums Yums? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 91. Exceptional No. I have 200 Yums Yums for my cyberpunk character. 

Step #2 is a name. Question #5: Is our character a female? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 40. Yes. Question #6: Does our female’s first name start with A? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 36. Yes. I’m going with the name of Aelita Scheffer. 

Step #3 is dealing with the Body, Brain, and Nerves. Ratings are usually between 6 and 16 with 11 being an average score. Body is for fighting an orc or doing construction work. Brain is for solving riddles or trying to remember who played the Riddler on Adam West’s “Batman” show. Nerves are for nerds trying to get into the jocks or popular girls depending on the nerd’s gender. The rating number in that relation section cost that number in Yum Yums. I have 200 Yum Yums. For Brains: 12. 200 - 12 = 188. For Body: 12. 188 - 12 = 176. For Nerve: 13. 176 - 13 = 163.

Step #4 is a Job for the character. On December 15, 2021, two shows pop up on two different series -- on Disney Plus, “Wandavision” -- while on Netflix, the last season of “Carmen Sandiego” pop up. I’m going with the latter and make Aeltia a thief. The job also has a number between 6 or 16. No matter what universal -- games, the game show, DiC’s cartoon, or Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego’s thief rating is a 16 -- and I’m going to homage that in Aelita’s stats by using the 16. Now rating in job costs twice that much in Yums Yums.  16 * 2 = 32. 163 - 32 = 131.

Step #5 is a Gimmick. For Aelita, I’m going with “Ghost!” 

Step #6 is a Weakness. For Aelita, I’m going with “Short Fuse”.

Step #7 is the number for the Gimmick and Weakness - -and both start at 10. So I’m sticking with that number.

Step #8 are Skills. Skills are rating +1 to +5. For +1, it costs 3 Yums Yums plus +1 Yum for anything higher than high. The following is what I did for Aelita here with the usual math business in brackets: 

• Costume Designing 4. 4 - 1 = 3. 3 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6. 131 - 6 = 125

• Computer Hacking 4. 125 - 6 = 119

• Cooking 4. 119 - 6 = 113

• Electrician Worker 4. 113 - 6 = 107

• Driving 4. 107 - 6 = 101

• Piloting 4. 101 - 6 = 95

Step #9 are Health Points. A character’s Basic Health Point matched his or her number in his or her Body Number. That’s 12 for Aelita, and I think I fine with that. 

Step #10 is to write the number of Yums and Yums I have left. I have 95 Yum Yums left, so that’s my Yums Yums.

Step #10 is “Who Would Play Him/Her In The Movie”?  This about an actor or actress that might play the character in the show. I’m going with Elizabeth Banks as the actress for my character.

Step #11 is a Tagline. For Aelita, I’m going with the following: “No one can stop me!”
