Character Creation Challenge 2023: #17 = “Capes, Cowl and Villains Fowl"

 

Ok. Our next game for this business this January 2023 is “Capes, Cowls, and Villains Fowl” from Spectrum Games. I didn’t do this game in January 2022 but in January 2021, I created Eris for this game.

Step #1 is to find get the trait points for Game Master’s fictional superhero game -- as “Capes, Cowls, and Villains Fowl” is a superhero-themed game. Question #1: Is it 100 Trait Points? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 56. Question #2: 150? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 64. No. Looks like I got 200 points for my character.  

Step #2 is to create the traits for my PC. The cost of the trait numbers is on a table on page 12 of the “Capes, Cowls and Villains Fowl” rulebook. The following is what I brought for my PC with the math business in brackets as usual:

• Robt Body 8 (200 - 12 = 188)

• Agility 7 (188 - 10 = 178)

• Smart 7 (178 - 10 = 168)

• Super Strength 10 (168 - 20 = 148)

• Flying 10 (148 - 20 = 128)

• Laser Sword 8 (128 - 12 = 116)

Even though I have 116 Traits Points over, I think I’m out of ideas for traits for my PC.

Step #2 is to get Bonuses for certain traits that cost points. I buy Regular Signature for Super Strength, I’m going with a 2x -- so that cost me 12 points. 116 - 12 = 104.

Step #3 is Restrictions. I taking “Not-A-Finisher” for Smarts. 104 + 1 = 105. 

Step #4 is to get the Editor Control for my character. I take the regular 2 Editor Control which is the rule book.

Step #5 is the Threshold. Threshold’s business is the following math business: EC*2+6=Threshold. 2*2=4+6=10.

Step #6 is Complication. I’m going with the following:  “No secret identity.” & “Doesn’t know who built him.”

Step #7 is Factoids. I’m going with the following: “Enjoy game shows”

Step #8 is our character name, I’m going with Engine.

Step #9 is our character’s appearance which I’m going with the following: “Engine is a tall human-like robot made out of white metal with blue optics for eyes.”

Below this paragraph is the full stats of Engine.
