Character Creation Challenge 2022: #24 = “Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game"

 The following is a character for one of the most recently released games I have. The game in question was “Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game” -- and which was released in December 2020. 


Step #1 is to roll up a Background for my PC. To do so I need to roll two d10s to get a number.  After some rolling, the d10s stop the following numbers: 1 & 4. I can pick the following background for my PC: Upper Class (1), Adventurer (4), or Unremarkable (1+4=5). I like Chloe Bourgeois from “Miraculous Ladybug”, so I decided to get Upper Class. Since Chloe can be a brat, I’m going with a d10 in Persuasion and a d8 in Fitness.


Step #2 is to pick up a Principle in the Responsibility section.  I’m going with Business for my PC. I got the Principle of Business as my first Green Zone ability because of my pick.


Step #4 is to roll up Power Source. To do so, I need to roll a d10 as well as two d8s. After rolling the three dices, they stop on the following numbers: 3, 7 & 8. I can pick the following Power Source: Genetic (3), Relic (7), Power  Suit (8), Tech Upgrades (3+7=10), Supernatural (3+8=11), & Genius (7+8=15). I am going to follow in many tech heroes -- and take the Power Suit. Now I need to pick some stuff for the d10 and the two d8s. I’m going to take an ability from the Mobility power category -- which is Flight at d10. Next, I’m going to Fire a d8. For the other d8, I’m going with a Signature Weapon -- taking a cue from a friend of Power Suit user and making it a hammer. For my one Green Ability, I’m going with Diagnostic Subroutine.  For my two Yellow Abilities, I’m going with Explosive Attack -- and using Fire -- and Onboard Upgrade.



Step #5 is to find by Archetype. To do that I need to roll a 10 and two d6s. After rolling the three dice, I get the following numbers: 6, 1 & 5. I can choose between the following Archetype: Speeder (1), Blaster (5), Close Quarters Combat (6), Armored (1+6=7), & Sorcerer (6+5=11). I’m going with Speeder as my PC’s Archetype. I give Speed the d10 since I need it for being the Speedster. I put one of the d6 in Agility and the second d6 into Alertness from the Mental category.  For the next, business -- add to the Ability with two Green Level Abilities.. I’m going with Always on the Move using Speed power and Fast Fingers using Agility. For my only Yellow Ability business, I’m going with the following: Supersonic Streak -- which will use the Hammer power. Next I need to close a Principle from the Expertise category. I’m going with Gearhead.






Step #6 is Personality of the PCs. To do so, I need to roll two d10s to find out. After rolling the two d10s, they give me the following numbers: 8 & 5. I can pick from the following Personalities: Sarcastic (5), Fast Talking (8), & Analytical (13). Fast Talking works the best for a Speeder. For the Quality, I’m going with Discordian -- and I put that in “Out” power for my PC. Next up is getting the two Red Zone Abilities -- I’m going with Intercession using Speed & Take Down using Hammer. Next record my Stats Dice for each level -- Green, Yellow and Red -- which are a d6, d8 and a d10 respectfully. 


Step #7 is to get two more Red Abilities. I am going with Powerful Strike using Hammer & Full Defensive using Speed.


Step #8 is deciding if I’m going to any Retcon -- but I'm not doing that -- as I think my PC is fine as is. 


Step #9 is getting the number I need to figure out my Health. First off, there is the given 8 from the rulebook for this RPG. The maximum value of my Red Status dice -- that would be a 10 -- since the dice there is a d10. I’m going with a d10 from Speed since that comes from the Athletic power category -- so that is another 10 for me. Then it’s a roll of a d8 -- the two 10 should help if the roll of the d8 is terrible. After some time rolling, the d8 stops at the following number: 4.


8+10=18
18+10=28
28+4=32.


Using the table on Page 113 of the rulebook, I got my Health Range for each level -- Green (32-25). Yellow (24-12), & Red (11-1).


Step #10 is the Hero’s Name. I’m going with Princess Zana.


Step #11 is Alias. I’m going with Annabelle Anderson.


Step #12 is Gender. Since Annabelle Anderson a.k.a Princess Zana is female -- that is the Gender of the PC.


Step #13 is Age. I’m going with 40 for her age.


Step #14 is Height. I’m going to the following: 7 feet even.


Step #15 are Eyes. I’m going with Green.


Step #16 is Hair. I’m going with Red hair.


Step #17 is Skin. I’m going with White


Step #18 is Built. Normal Earthling is her build.


Step #19 is Costume/Equipment. I’m going with the following: “A goldish-yellow armor that covers her entire body from head to toe carrying a large purple hammer. Outside of the armor, she usually wears a purple toga and sandals.”


Step #20 is changed to the names to snapper ones -- but I think I'm fine with the basic names from the rulebook for this RPG.


Step #21 is Background. I’m going with the following: “The Classic Greek got the name of their gods and goddess right  -- but not the stories. The Olympians did have a fight with the Titans over the Earth -- but unknown Cronus was affected by energy from an unknown source. Hades was able to bottle the source in a jar.  Zeus took the sky as he wanted to “annoy” people a lot. Poseidon took the sea -- as he wanted to “annoy” Zeus. Hades took the Earth and took Kore as his wife. Kore didn’t believe Kore would make a good Queen name -- and took the name of Persphone -- and she and Hades became the King and Queen of the Olympian Goddess -- and not long after, Persephone gave birth to Eris. Meanwhile, Prometheus creates humans and other creatures to refill the Earth from the fight that the Olympians had with the Titans. 


Unknown to the Olympians, the energy in the jar was a small portion of OblivAeon -- but a human named Paris entered -- and took the jar -- and opened up -- discovered a beautiful woman named Pandora. Paris and Pandora caused a lot of mayhem all over Greece -- that it annoyed a Roman forum full of Kings and Queens -- and they attacked Troy -- leading to a war against Troy that lasted for 5 years until a group of heroes killed Pandora’s metal horse. One of the gods, Athena, forces the energy back into the jar.


Things went well for the Olympians -- and the only problem was usually the Norse Gods - a drunk Thor had picked many fights with Zeus - and usually about two to four times a month.  


One day, Zeus decided to marry Hera, a Titan that had recently reappeared. Everyone was a famous person from around the world -- and most of the gods and goddesses in the world were invited to the wedding -- except one - Loki, the Norse God of Fire and Tricks -- Zeus heard horror stories about Loki -- and wanted to “be safe rather than sorry.” An angry Loki transforms himself into a dragon -- and finds Aphrodite’s Golden Apple Garden where he tricks the dragon guarding the Golden Apple Tree to give him one of the Golden Apple from it. He flies off to what would be Mount Rushmore in the future -  and when he land -- he transforms himself into a human -- and carves “To The Fairest” in the Golden Apple -- and then he appear before all of them at the wedding -- throwing the apple at Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon -- but Eris quickly kicked the apple out of the way -- causing it to land in the business in the midst of Artemis, Athena, and Aphrodite.  All of the other gods and goddess realizes something stinks -- and transports -- for lack of better words -- himself or herself -- to places unknown to humans -- only Eris was behind -- as Athena put a power shield on Eris. Eris tells them to go see Princess Zana as Princess Zana recently won a weaving contest against Eris.


Athena, Artemis & Aphrodite come to Princess Zana and try to bribe her. Artemis is the ability to command animals; Athena with wisdom in both peace and war; and Aphrodite -- the most handsome man in all of Greece kingdoms. Princess Zana rejects them -- and tells them that the only fairest of them all is Thanos, the Greecian God of Death.  Not happy, the three female goddesses give her a so-called “gift” -- from Artemis -- death by an animal; from Athena -- a mouth that runs more than it should -- and from Aphrodite -- a height that not even an Amazon will like. 


Princess Zana prays to Eris, her favorite Goddess - and asks Eris to undo the curses that Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite give her. Eris couldn’t do it -- so Eris gave her immortality -- though if Princess Zana gets killed by a live animal -- she has to wait 13 years to be reborn. Well, Princess Zana decided this was good enough as it can be.....  .....And Princess Zana watches history follow its path from the fall of the Roman Empire to the 1920s -- when as Aelita Anderson, she created Persephone Publishing -- making fantasy pulp stories set in ancient Greece. In the 1930s, as Aelita Anderson, she  started Golden Apple Comics -- a comic book that becomes Sentinel Comics’ number #1 rival -- a rivalry that keeps on going to this present. In the 1960s, she gives birth to Poseidon Pictures to do animation works for television -- giving birth to both “Medusa” and “Arachne” cartoons. In the mid-1980s, Poseidon Pictures created “The Discordians”, about a group of heroes teaming up with Eris fighting against Loki and his group of fictional Frost Giants friends all over the universe. In the late 1990s, she unleashed Titan Tech, a company that makes games -- becoming famous for the “Warriors of Eris”, a computer role-playing video game. In 2018, one of her workers found the jar that contains the portion of the energy of OblivAeon  -- and Aelita saw that the energy in the jar was moving -- so she decided to build a suit to help the good people in the world and hinder the bad people in the world - but when she put in the computer system inside the suit, there was an explosion that sends her to back to the start of January 2018 -- she restart building her suit -- and once again when she put the computer system in the suit - and once again, she started her suit again -- and after the explosion happen again when he put in the computer system -- she called Eris, who appeared and toss the jar of OblivAeon energy into space. With Eris and Hephaestus, Aelita/Zana work on her suit and hammer. By the time they were done building the suit and Eris giving her super-speed to her, the heroes and villains of the universe had kicked OblivAeon’s hide for good.  


Finding out that the humans heard the explosion -- Aelita split herself into two roles -- Annabelle Anderon, the usual upper class twit you usually find in movies and television shows --and Princess Zana, a fully armored hero fighting crime.”


....And Princess Zana is done, below this paragraph is Princess Zana’s full stats.
